Following Obsidian's instructions, Big Grey flew ahead to scout the way, with Little Silver and Little Purple clinging to its back.

The group moved quickly through the mountains and forests.

"Sister, brother-in-law, can we find Xiao Ling'er if we just follow their scent?"

Halfway there, Xiao Longzhan suddenly turned to ask Shen Nanxing and Jiang Nian'an.

"Not necessarily, but we can definitely find some of the Bi family's branches."

Shen Nanxing gazed at the road ahead, which seemed to have no end in sight, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

Xiao Longzhan nodded and didn't say anything more, but a hint of worry appeared on his little face.

As night slowly fell, they settled down to rest in an unknown small town.

I thought it would be an empty place to stay, but I was surprised to find that there were quite a few people inside.

Dozens of bonfires were scattered in the square in the center of the town.

The firelight, though not bright, illuminated most of the square.

The survivors huddled around the fire, their faces weary, their eyes numb.

Jiang Nian'an didn't let Obsidian and Big Gray enter the square, letting them forage for food nearby and find a place to rest, in order to prevent them from causing panic among the survivors.

She then took the hands of Xiao Longzhan and Xiao Liang'an and walked from the edge of the square inwards.

Shen Nanxing and Da Huo walked at the front, while Xiao Zi and Xiao Yin huddled inside the hoods of the two little ones' down jackets.

"Let's rest here tonight!"

Shen Nanxing found a relatively clean open space and quickly cleaned it up along with the fire.

Jiang Nian'an took out two large tents.

The tent was handed over to Shen Nanxing and Da Huo to be secured to the ground.

After the tents were secured, she led the four little ones into one of them.

Then, a long, low table was taken out, and bowls, chopsticks, and ready-made food were placed on it. A heater was also placed next to it to keep the food warm.

Then I took out disinfectant wipes and wiped the two little ones' hands.

Shen Nanxing also stretched out his hand in front of her, "I want An'an to wipe it for me too~"

Jiang Nian'an looked at him with a mix of helplessness and amusement, then grabbed his hand and carefully wiped it.

"To be fair, I have to wipe An'an's hands."

Shen Nanxing grasped Jiang Nian'an's hand in return, pulled out a few wet wipes, and moved them so gently that it was as if he were holding some rare treasure.

Sitting to the side, Da Huo watched the two of them making such a show of wiping their hands, and his lips twitched violently.

It's just wiping your hands, can't you just wipe your own?

They just keep changing things, ugh!
