After the two humans and the beast finished laughing, they realized Mu Feng was missing! They then searched the surrounding area.
I saw him using the knife in his hand to dig a hole not far away...
Qin Luo immediately grabbed a water pouch and ran over to flatter him.
"Uncle, you've worked so hard! Are you tired? Would you like some water?"
Mu Feng raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Not tired at all. We've dug almost all the way. We just need to find some dry branches to lay down, then we can bury the body!"
"Let's go together!"
The uncle and nephew then went to the woods to look for dead branches.
Wu Hua flew into Jingming's arms.
He took out the orange, which he had peeled in half, and shared it with Jingming.
Seeing its movements, Jingming praised it again.
"My lord, you are truly a fine beast! You don't waste a single orange! You didn't even mind that this orange has been in my arms for so long!"
Martial Arts Flower Swaying Little Beast Hoof
"Of course I don't mind! How could I mind! Kang only celebrates a bountiful harvest; he would never complain about anything that can fill his stomach. These oranges are my creations; they have a spirit of their own, and if they're rejected, they'll turn bitter!"
As he spoke, he took out two more and handed them to Jingming.
"These are different varieties, they're both very sweet, try them!"
''Um! ''
A monk and a small animal sat on the ground, happily eating oranges, one segment at a time.
After Mu Feng laid out the withered branches, Qin Luo placed Niu Niu's face and body together.
Wu Hua restored her body to its original state, showing no trace of the horrific torture she had suffered before her death!
Jingming also began reciting sutras for the deceased.
The three people and one beast buried Niu Niu well, and it was almost dawn!
Qin Luo used vines to build several treehouses on the tree.
Soft cushions were also placed inside.
"Brother, Uncle, go and get some sleep! We'll continue our journey after you've woken up!"
After the two agreed, Mu Feng carried Jingming up to the treehouse, and the three of them rested separately!
Qin Luo returned to the space as soon as he entered the treehouse.
She bathed and changed Wu Hua first before washing herself.
When she was getting ready for bed, Wu Hua was already asleep; it had been a great help that day and was exhausted.
Qin Luo kissed its little head twice, then hugged it and drifted off to sleep!
Early the next morning
Qin Luo finished making the sugar cakes, tidied up Wu Hua and herself, and was just about to leave the space.
Wu Hua flew onto her shoulder, wanting to go out with her.
Qin Luo was somewhat worried
"Little one, can you stay in the space? It's too dangerous outside!"
Wu Hua covered her little ears
"No, I want to go out! I want to play with the little monk! I'll come back immediately if there's any danger!"
Qin Luo had no choice but to take it with her.
Jingming and Mufeng were already waiting for her under the tree.
She retracted the vines from the treehouse, took the sugar cake, and walked up to the two of them.
"Uncle, brother, let's eat something before we set off!"
The two took it, and Jingming was just about to eat.
Wu Hua flew into his arms, opened her little mouth, and said, "Feed me!"
Jingming smiled as he broke the cake in half, blew on it, and then fed it to the animal!
As they set off, Wu Hua slipped directly into Jingming's clothes.
"Luo Luo, I'm safe here, don't worry!"
Qin Luo tapped its little nose and didn't say anything more!
This road leading to Anminzhou was originally not used by any disaster victims.
Qinling and his group deliberately changed their route to bypass the prefectural city.
However, not long after Qin Luo and his companions left the mountains, they saw a large number of disaster victims on the road.
This area clearly has no shortage of water and food, but these disaster victims look even more pitiful than those before!
Wu Hua felt a pang of pity and was about to stick her little head out of the car to take a closer look
Qin Luo pulled him back.
"You can only peek through the gap in the carriage curtain, otherwise they'll want to roast you and eat you!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua huddled closer to Jingming's clothes in fright.
"Why are there still so many disaster victims? Wasn't things supposed to be getting better?"
Jingming gently patted it to comfort it.
"The disaster victims haven't reached their resettlement area yet, and they dare not spend their money. They must have suffered far more hardships on their journey than we have. When they rest, I'll get off the bus and ask them why they also changed their route!"
Qin Luo was also very curious. They could have gone straight to Anmin Prefecture by crossing the prefectural city, so why were these disaster victims taking such a long detour?
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
She lifted the carriage curtain and told Mu Feng
"Uncle, please let Qibai walk slowly. We'll walk with the disaster victims!"
''good! ''
Mu Feng pulled on the reins, and Qi Bai's speed slowed down.
Noon (12 noon)
The disaster victims had just stopped to rest when Mu Feng parked the carriage not far from them.
Qin Luo sent Wu Hua back to her space, put on her veil, and went forward with Jingming to inquire about the reason!
The two found a kind-looking elderly man and bowed respectfully.
"Grandpa, are you alright?"
When the old man saw that it was two children, he smiled and stood up to respond.
"Okay, you're all well. Are you hungry? Come here, Grandpa has some pancakes!"
Qin Luo waved his hand repeatedly
"Grandpa, we're not hungry. My brother and I just want to ask why you didn't go through the city proper, but instead took a detour?"
The old man looked at the two of them with some curiosity.
"You two, brother and sister, didn't you escape from the prefectural city?"
Qin Luo pointed to Mu Feng not far away.
"No, we followed Uncle on this journey to find our family. Grandpa, you said something happened in the prefectural city after we escaped?"
The old man looked towards the capital city.
Tears welled in her eyes, and her face was filled with endless sorrow.
"The prefectural city is in chaos! The prefect has been murdered, and martial law has been declared throughout the city. No one, including residents and refugees, is allowed to leave the city gates, for the murderer is said to be hiding among them!"
