Chapter 6: Subtle Movement

Gu Yundong only heaved a sigh of satisfaction when she ate the warm porridge.

Her body was too poor. Although she did not eat well in the apocalypse, she had a spatial storage long ago and collected a lot of supplies. Even if she was not as free to eat as in the apocalypse, she was much better off than most people. It was not a problem for her to eat until she was 70% full.

However, here, even before fleeing the drought, the porridge they ate was only enough to fill their stomachs. There were not many rice grains at all. After fleeing the drought, they only had one meal a day. It was rare for them to eat to even 20% full.

"Big Sister, it's so delicious. It smells so good." Gu Yunshu drank extremely slowly. He had never eaten such delicious porridge. It was sweet and fragrant. It was simply a delicacy in this world.

His expression was too intoxicated. His little mouth was pouting, and he could not bear to swallow it.

Madam Yang eagerly took two sips before carefully feeding Gu Yunke.

The little girl did not have much strength. Now that she had eaten the porridge, her eyes lit up and the corners of her eyes curved. She immediately became energetic. "It's delicious."

At that moment, Gu Yundong felt inexplicably satisfied.

This feeling was very unfamiliar. She could not help but cover her chest.

It was rare for the family of four to have a 'sumptuous' dinner. All of them felt extremely happy. They held their stomachs and lay on the ground, not wanting to move.

Gu Yundong's stomach was no longer burning, and she had strength now. She finally had the strength to think about the rest of the journey.

They did not lack food now. She had enough food in her spatial storage to support them until they reached the relatively rich prefecture capital. However, without transportation, they would definitely walk very slowly.

The others matters were fine, but what she was most worried about was that they would encounter bandits and starving desperate refugees. This was the greatest danger along the way.

In particular, her family did not even have an adult man. In the eyes of others, they were easy to bully and could easily become the target of those with ulterior motives.

It seemed that they could not take the main road anymore. At least, they could not walk to places with many people. When they left home, Gu Dajiang had told her about the routes and directions of the nearby prefecture cities. She more or less knew them.

Speaking of Gu Dajiang, she did not know if he was dead or alive or where he was.

Gu Yunshu was also thinking about his father, especially after eating a good meal. He couldn't help but wipe his eyes with his small hand. He raised his head and tried his best not to cry.

Gu Yundong turned around and saw that his head looked like it was about to break. She was a little frightened.

She quickly coughed lightly and said, "It's getting late. Rest early."

She got the three of them to lie on the bed and took out the thin blanket from the basket to cover them. They had brought it from home. Madam Yang had always kept it in the basket on her body. Other than the young lady, Gu Yunke, there was also a thin blanket, two sets of clothes, and a bamboo tube filled with water. There was nothing else in the basket.

Gu Yunshu lay down and realized that his eldest sister had not come over. He quickly sat up again. "Eldest Sister, aren't you going to sleep?"

"I slept a lot during the day. I can't sleep now. Go to sleep."

"Oh."

Gu Yunshu nodded and lay down in peace.

After eating and drinking their fill, they slept especially quickly. Before long, the three of them's breathing stabilized.

Gu Yundong sat down at the side. She had no intention of sleeping at all. In the apocalypse, as long as one stayed outside at night, one had to keep watch. Otherwise, she would not know when she would encounter danger.

She had already developed a habit, and it was the same here.

Fortunately, she was awake this night.

Madam Yang and the others had only slept for an hour when she heard a subtle movement outside.
