"I understand!" Xu Feng smiled with his white teeth, looking like the silly son of a landlord, and skipped back to his room.

The next morning, the carriage was parked in front of the Xu family's door.

"The weather could get colder at any moment, so be sure to cover yourself with a blanket at night. Also, don't be alone. Call someone else..."

"I know, Mom. You've said it three times."

"Do you remember it?" Zhang asked.

"I can recite it by heart. Do you want to hear it again, mother?"

"Okay, get in the car, Mei Niang, and ignore her. No matter how many times you tell her, she won't listen. She will remember the lesson after being taught once!" As the saying goes, people cannot teach people, but things can teach people once.

If you suffer a little, you will naturally remember it.

"Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of myself and Xiaobao!" After saying that, Xu Ning got into the carriage, and Xu Feng, who got on the carriage first, leaned half of his body out of the window and waved goodbye to the Xu family happily.

"Grandma, wait for me to come back!"

"Daya! Hurry up and pull Xiaobao in!" Xu Da shouted in a loud voice towards the carriage that was gradually moving away. Xu Ning immediately pulled the happy kid in!

"Xu Xiaobao, don't you want to go? If not, I will stop the car and take you back." Xu Ning crossed his arms and leaned against the carriage, glancing at Xu Feng.

"Second sister! I think! I think! Am I not too happy?" Xu Feng looked a little embarrassed. He also felt that he was too proud of himself.

"What are you so happy about? Do you really think we are here for vacation?" Xu Ning didn't expect Xu Feng to be so naughty, and his hands couldn't help but feel itchy.

Xu Feng noticed the change in Xu Ning's expression and immediately pinched Xu Ning's shoulders in a flattering manner.

"Second sister, I know we are here to gain experience. Don't be angry. I won't do it again. From now on, whatever I say is what I will do. Hehe."

"Pfft..." Pei Jiao was riding a horse beside the carriage and couldn't help laughing when she heard Xu Feng's words.

"Ningning, you made the right choice to bring this brother with you." He's such a funny guy, we won't be bored on the way.

"Sister Pei, it's such a long journey. Are you planning to ride a horse?" Xu Ning lifted the curtain of the carriage and started chatting with Pei Jiao, who was riding a heroic horse.

"Why not? It's not going to rain in this awful weather, and riding a horse is much more comfortable than riding in a carriage. Little Ningning, do you want to learn how to ride a horse? I'll teach you!"

"Sister Pei! I want to learn! I want to learn!" Before Xu Ning could say anything, Xu Feng, who had been listening to their conversation with his ear tilted, immediately came over and shouted.

"Xiaobao, can you touch the horse's belly?" Pei Jiao looked at him with amusement. Xu Feng was very short, not even as tall as the horse's legs!

"That's right, how can a person who needs a stool to get on a carriage climb onto a horse?" Xu Ning mocked him mercilessly.

"I can go up with a stool!" Xu Feng didn't care about Xu Ning's attitude at all.

"That's quite ambitious. How are you going to get down? And move the stool onto the horse's back?"

"No! I want to install a ladder on the horse, just like the one on the ship!"

"Hey, Xiaobao, you've made great progress. Aren't you afraid that you'll lose your grip and fall off the horse?"

"I'll hold on tight!"

"Okay, I'll teach you!" Pei Jiao liked Xu Feng's courage very much, and she did what she said. On the relatively safe road ahead, she would take time out every day to teach Xu Ning and his brother how to ride horses.

Before they knew it, they had been walking for ten days.

This night it got dark earlier than the previous night, so Pei Jiao found a dilapidated temple to stop and tidy up.

"Ningning, the drought is getting worse!" From the fourth or fifth day after leaving Xianyu Village, they encountered a group of people fleeing famine.

Perhaps because there was water and wild vegetables in the south, the first refugees we met were still alive, but as we went further north, corpses began to appear on the road.
