Chapter 104 Gu Jin's heart is getting heavier

Gu Jin watched him eat a few biscuits and drink the malted milk in the cup before letting him lie down on the bed opposite to rest.

The sound of trains clanging at night was a sound that Gu Jin hadn't heard in decades.

She glanced at the child sleeping soundly in the bed opposite her. Despite the loud noise from the train, she could still catch the sound of his breathing.

The child has been taken good care of by her recently. The scars on his face have disappeared and he has gained some weight.

After returning from this trip to Shenzhen, she will teach An Mingji to practice the Xuantian Jue.

Gu Jin calculated the time. If his cousin was safe and sound, when they returned, the disaster in the northern part of the Spirit Realm Continent would begin.

The coming rainy season will bring heavy rain for a whole month, and famine will follow the heavy rain.

Lying on the bed, looking at the scenery flashing past outside the train window, Gu Jin's heart became heavier.

Not only is there an unknown danger facing my cousin, but many people will starve to death in the northern border of the Spiritual Continent within the next year.

With a heavy heart, Gu Jin slowly closed his eyes.

…

The next day, before dawn, An Mingji opened his eyes.

He stood up and sat on the bed, his eyes first looking at Gu Jin who was still sleeping.

The clanking sound of the train continued incessantly, and amid the noise he quietly got up and put on his shoes.

Just as he put on his shoes and straightened up, Gu Jin opened his eyes.

Facing the child's slightly widened eyes, she pressed the corner of her eye with one hand and said lazily: "Why did you get up so early?"

"……It's noisy."

An Mingji thought he was the one who woke up Gu Jin, and looked a little remorseful, but he quickly covered it up.

Gu Jin had no way of noticing. She stood up, threw back the quilt and got out of bed, lowering her voice: "If you can't sleep, come with me to wash up and come back to eat. It will take more than ten hours for us to get to Shenzhen."

There were two people sleeping on the upper bed, and Gu Jin and An Mingji spoke in low voices.

After folding the quilt, the two walked out.

Before leaving, Gu Jin poured malted milk into the empty cup again and handed the cup to the child behind him.

She squatted down, with her back to the child, and pulled the suitcase out from under the bed. She took out two apples, two pears, and two sweet melons from the space while taking things out.

Gu Jin took the things and left with An Mingji.

After washing their faces, rinsing their mouths, washing the fruits and vegetables, and drinking malted milk, the two returned to the sleeper compartment.

They found that the man and woman sleeping on the upper bunk had woken up. They came down with sleepy eyes and saw Gu Jin and An Mingji holding apples, pears, sweet and crispy melons, and malted milk that was brewed like milk. Their eyes widened slightly.

Those who could afford to eat fruit at that time were all from very well-off families, not to mention something as precious as malted milk.

Moreover, they saw Gu Jin and the child last night, each holding a big apple and eating it. The next day, when they just woke up, they saw them holding so many fresh fruits, and their eyes were wide open with envy.

Although Lili was envious, the jealousy in her eyes was even more obvious.

Under their envious and jealous gazes, Gu Jin and An Mingji walked into the small room, put the fruit on the biscuit box on the table, and each had an apple to eat.

After eating an apple, Gu Jin felt the spiritual power in her body begin to become restless. She suppressed the spiritual power in her body, leaned on the bed, closed her eyes, and practiced the Feng Ling Jue bit by bit to clear the spiritual power in her body.

After doing all this, she found that the man named Liang Xia and Lili had gone out at some point.
