3755: Adventure (6)

Adventure (6)

"Do you think we don't want to? It's just we can't." Li smiled bitterly and pointed at the old lady. "Every time we brought it up, she threatened to kill herself. We could never succeed."2

Feng Wu rubbed her chin. "It's really hard to do it while we're still seeking refuge…"

But those people were indeed her burdens.

Li smiled bitterly. "It's all fate. What can we do? Alright, kids, go to bed. We still have to travel tomorrow morning."

After that, Li took out the only bedroll in the carriage and laid it out in the lee of the wind so that Feng Wu and the two children could get in.

"What about you?" Feng Wu asked.

Li waved her off. "We'll just sleep on the ground for the night. You little ones can easily catch a cold. We adults will be fine."

Feng Wu didn't know what to say.

No matter what Feng Wu said, Li insisted that they take the bedroll, and Feng Wu couldn't turn her down.

Feng Wu sighed as soon as she was under the duvet.

"Why are you sighing? You're too young to do that. You'll grow into a little old hag." Little Phoenix teased her.

Feng Wu's eyes lit up. "You're awake!"

Although Feng Wu had lost her cultivation ability, she still had Little Phoenix. It was injured, but it could still fly and ask around. That was to say, it hadn't lost much of its ability.

Seeing this, Little Phoenix knew that Feng Wu was going to give it trouble again.

It gave Feng Wu a resigned look. "What do you want from me?"

Feng Wu said, "I need to go with them, at least as far as the Northern Yan Kingdom. It'll take us at least another ten days… The further north we go, the colder it gets. I can barely stand it myself, let alone them."

Little Phoenix looked at Feng Wu in resignation. "Do you want me to bring back a bedroll?"

It was doable, but…

"How are you going to explain the extra bedroll?"

Feng Wu rubbed her chin. "I don't need you to bring back a bedroll. Look around and see if you can find any houses. Make it look like we're just passing by, and I'll buy an extra one.

"If you can't find any houses, just make it look like someone has left it there, and I'll pick it up."

Little Phoenix mimicked Feng Wu and nodded. "Alright. They won't see me anyway."

Little Phoenix was soon out of sight.

"Get me some more supplies!" Feng Wu reminded Little Phoenix in her head before she went to bed.

Little Phoenix rolled its eyes at Feng Wu.

It was just a little bird. Not only did it have to find the bedroll, but it also had to prepare the supplies. There was so much to do!

However, at the thought of Feng Wu's pathetic state, Little Phoenix felt sorry for her.

This family was very poor, but because of that, they were too poor to be spotted.

Little Phoenix spent a lot of effort to find a bundle, two old duvets, and some rice, flour, and oil. It even prepared a bow.

That way, Feng Wu could shoot arrows.

Little Phoenix had painstakingly prepared everything and put them on top of an old tree. After everything was ready, it flew into Feng Wu's sleeve and told her everything.

Feng Wu smiled and went back to sleep.

She woke up early the next morning.

The Gao family was so poor that they couldn't afford breakfast.
