Ye Xiaojin and Ye Xiaoyu are twins, a boy and a girl. He has been growing up under the protection of his sister, so he almost forgot the most painful memory.

Lying on the mat and closing his eyes, as the carriage swayed, sleepiness quickly came over him and Ye Xiaojin fell into a drowsy dream.

In the dream, he was still that carefree little child, and...his always dignified and elegant mother was looking at him with a smile.

"Mother!"

He wanted to pounce on them, but he kept going around in circles. He could only see the people but couldn't hear or touch them. They were like vague phantoms.

Suddenly, a lot of white mist rose around him. When he wanted to see his mother's face again, he could not see anything. He stood there anxiously and shouted loudly.

"Xiao Jin, Xiao Yu, you two must live well. Your mother...can no longer accompany you!"

Hearing his mother's last voice in his ears, Ye Xiaojin struggled to see clearly, but only heard a faint cry.

"Mother, where are you? Don't leave, don't leave me!"

He stretched out his hand and suddenly opened his eyes. Even his breathing seemed to tighten. Ye Xiaojin woke up suddenly with some confusion in his eyes. He was the only one in the carriage. It seemed like he had just had a dream!

What was that dream?

He couldn't remember some of it, but there seemed to be a very important person in his dream. Who was it?

Ye Xiaojin tried hard to search her memory for the dream she had just had, but her mind was blank and she couldn't remember anything. She just felt suddenly empty in her heart.

"Xiao Jin, are you awake?"

The carriage curtain was lifted, and Ye Xiaoyu came in. Seeing Ye Xiaojin sitting there blankly with some sweat on his head, she moved closer.

Ye Xiaojin looked at her and felt as if he had forgotten something very important. The sadness in his heart became stronger and stronger. He reached out and hugged her, "Sister, I seem to have had a dream!"

Sometimes twins just have some kind of telepathy. Ye Xiaoyu seemed to be able to empathize with Ye Xiaojin's mood. She reached out and hugged him back, patted his shoulder, and comforted him softly in a childish voice, "It's okay, Xiaojin, sister is here!"

Jiang Xueying stopped outside the car and did not move forward. She could hear the conversation between the two children inside clearly. She knew nothing about the past of these two children and Yexingzhou's past, but both the gold medal she had seen before and the sudden appearance of Yu Feng showed that they were definitely not ordinary people.

Jiang Xueying suddenly became unsure whether this decision to go to the capital was right or wrong. What would be their fate in the future?

After resting for a while and having a simple lunch, we continued on our way.

When passing the outskirts of the city, a lot of refugees suddenly appeared on the road. They were ragged, looked pale and thin, and looked so pitiful.

There was a child who was extremely hungry. He walked unsteadily, dragging an adult's hand. His eyes were lifeless and he looked like he was about to die.

Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help but feel pity when she saw this and wanted to give the snacks in her bag to the child. However, before she could give it to him, Jiang Xueying stopped her immediately.

Seeing the unhappy and confused look on the little girl's face, Jiang Xueying sighed and patiently explained to her, "Xiaoyu, it's not that I don't want you to sympathize with him, but think about it, there are so many people now, and everyone is starving. If you give them food now, others will see that you don't give them anything, and they will come to grab it. Although these people are refugees, when they are extremely hungry, they can do anything. It's not enough to save just one person."

Ye Xiaojin, who was about to do the same, quickly withdrew his hand when he heard this. Fortunately, he did not act impulsively, otherwise he would be in trouble. After all, if so many refugees really rushed over to rob things, they would definitely both suffer losses.

These words fell into the ears of Yu Feng who was standing by the side without missing a word. What she said was absolutely right, insightful, and thoughtful. He couldn't help but look at her with a new respect.

After all, most women's first reaction when seeing such a scene would be to show sympathy and pity and give them food, but this would also be a big taboo. When these refugees rush forward, should they take action or not?

Although Ye Xiaoyu understood the truth, she still felt a little uncomfortable and she wanted to help the child.

Yu Feng said, "These refugees are all fleeing here because of drought and lack of food. I heard that many tragedies have occurred. We'd better leave here as soon as possible."

These people didn't come over because they saw that they had several men guarding them. If they followed them more slowly, it is possible that they would make up their minds and attack them.

Jiang Xueying nodded, they had to leave quickly, otherwise it would be troublesome if they were surrounded by them.

This is not the time to be a hero. Even if she wants to help, it would be a drop in the bucket. If they are besieged by those people, they might not be able to escape.

What's more, she has a child with her, she can't take the risk.

The followers also followed, and they protected the carriage, fearing that the refugees would rush over.

Although these people looked pale and thin, once they exploded, they would not be able to withstand it and could only leave first.

Seeing that they were getting farther and farther away from those people, Ye Xiaojin couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Mom, will those people all starve to death?"

"Not necessarily. Since they were able to escape all the way here, they must have found a way to survive. They can even beg for food. Don't overthink it."

After Jiang Xueying coaxed the child, she slowly exhaled a breath. She was helpless. These things were not something that could be helped without any effort. One had to consider the consequences. Sometimes one wrong step would lead to all the wrong steps. It was not about being selfish, but sometimes one had to save oneself first, otherwise everything was just empty talk.

The carriage moved forward all the way, and they finally arrived at the town before dark as planned. They only had to pass through two more counties to reach the capital.

Jiang Xueying's face was pale. She got off the carriage with the help of her two children. She squatted on the road and vomited for a long time before she recovered.

Unexpectedly, motion sickness medicine was no longer effective, and her motion sickness symptoms became more and more severe.

"Mom, how are you? Why don't we go to the clinic?"

Ye Xiaoyu patted Jiang Xueying on the back worriedly.

"No need, I know what I'm doing!"

She is a medical practitioner and can do everything a doctor can do. It seems that she is prone to motion sickness and cannot withstand such a long journey.

When they were resting, they heard the guests in the teahouse talking about things outside the city:

"Hey, have you heard about it? There was a big fire outside the city. It has been burning for three days and it hasn't been put out yet. It's really scary."

"I heard about it, but this fire is a little strange. Why did it suddenly start and burn for so long?"

"Yes, a friend of mine saw it with his own eyes. He said that the fire was so raging that there was no way to put it out. We could only let it burn. The animals in the mountains were screaming in agony. It was so miserable!"
