Fugitive (2)

Old Mrs. Gao pointed at her son. "What did you say? What did you just say?!"1

Gao Mingjiang frowned. "Mother, you've crossed the line. We didn't have much food with us when we ran away. As for what we're eating now, it's all from me."

He was telling the truth, and no one dared to contradict him.

His other brothers and sisters-in-law had wanted to side with the old lady, but they felt rather guilty when they heard this.

Old Mrs. Gao was shocked. Her son's words were like a slap on her face.

"Mingjiang, what's that supposed to mean?!"

Gao Mingjiang looked at his mother and said seriously, "Mother, if you hadn't made such a scene, I wouldn't have bothered, but if you really want to go there, we can split the food among the branches and go our own way. We don't have to stay together. I'll only protect my wife and children. Mother, if you want to come with us, that's fine. As for the others, it's none of my business."

Everyone looked at Gao Mingjiang in astonishment.

He was going to abandon his brothers!

"Mingjiang, what's that supposed to mean?"

"Mingjiang, how could you do that to your brothers?!"

"Mingjiang…"

Everyone panicked a little.

It was common knowledge that Gao Mingjiang was the head of the 30-member team.

If it hadn't been for Gao Mingjiang, they would have been killed a hundred times by now because he was the one who knew where to go and how to find food, water and avoid bandits.

Because of that, they wouldn't let go of Gao Mingjiang.

The second son of the Gao family tried to mediate the situation. "Mingjiang, Mom didn't mean it. Don't be mad. Don't take it to heart."

The third was also trying to persuade Gao Mingjiang.

In the end, the eldest son showed up with a stern look on his face.

He frowned at Gao Mingjiang. "Mingjiang, don't bring that up again. Mom's still here. Are you trying to separate the family? That's enough!"

Gao Mingjiang smirked. "Everything will be fine if you people have nothing to do with Xiaoshu and Sanya falling into the river yesterday, but if you do…"

"Of course, it has nothing to do with them!" Old Mrs. Gao said hastily.

Gao Mingjiang snorted and didn't say anything else.

Just then, someone spotted Feng Wu and cried out.

Feng Wu cleared her throat. "Are you having a row? I'll come back later…"

The third son's wife turned around and smirked when she saw that it was Feng Wu. The quarrel would never have happened if it hadn't been for the girl.

She stared at Feng Wu. "Didn't you leave just then? Why are you back?!"

Feng Wu pointed at the sack in her hand. "I didn't leave. I just went to get something."

Feng Wu could open up her ring space now. She didn't have any medicine or toxins left, but she had put a lot of supplies in it.

She had only thought about keeping them there as a precaution, and they came in handy right now.

Feng Wu found the worst sack and the worst rice and flour…

"When I was lying in the cave, I saw someone burying something in the mountain, so I went to dig it out."
