It was already 6:00 AM (卯时).
Doctor You has already gotten up
Qin Liang and Qin Xian are still asleep
They got up almost every hour last night.
I'm so tired after working all night...
Qin Luo went to check on Mu Feng in the carriage; he was already awake.
I greeted her happily, "Luo Luo, good morning!"
"Good morning! Uncle Mu Feng, are you hungry? How about some wontons for breakfast?"
"Okay! Thank you, Luo Luo!"
"You're welcome. Please wait a moment, I'll be right there!"
After saying that, he got off the carriage and walked to Doctor You's side.
Take out the table, chairs, and wontons.
"Grandpa You, please eat first. I'll go feed Uncle Mu Feng."
Doctor You looked at the steaming bowl
"Why don't I feed them? Don't burn yourself!"
Qin Luo refused
"There's no reason for the younger generation to eat first and make the elders do all the work. I won't burn myself, so please eat with peace of mind!"
Turning around, I took the wontons and got into the carriage.
He took a small pillow out of the cloth bag.
He propped Mu Feng's neck up and fed him spoonful by spoonful.
"Uncle Mu Feng, eat as much as you can. There's more outside if this bowl isn't enough."
Mu Feng swallowed the wonton in his mouth.
"Enough, enough!"
Qin Luo smiled
"We haven't finished eating yet! How do you know we've had enough? Please don't be shy, we have plenty of food!"
Mu Feng smiled at her, thinking to himself...
In a famine, it's likely that no family will have enough food to eat. We already ate a lot yesterday.
We can't eat as much as we want today!
The bowl of wontons was finished in no time.
Mu Feng said he was full, but Qin Luo knew he wasn't.
She got off the carriage and walked towards Doctor You.
"Grandpa You, are you full?"
Doctor You patted his stomach: "Seven-tenths full!"
Qin Luo then took out a bowl of venison: "Want to try some?"
Dr. You immediately picked up his chopsticks
"I have to try this, it looks delicious!"
She then took out a plate of venison and cut it into small pieces with scissors.
It was brought into the carriage
"Uncle Mu Feng, try this stewed venison, it's delicious!"
Mu Feng smelled the fragrance
He swallowed nervously, then opened his mouth and ate a piece.
He then exclaimed, "It smells so good! Did you make this?"
Qin Luo's answer was somewhat arrogant.
"Of course! Don't underestimate me just because I'm small. I'm a great cook. You should eat more of my food. Once we catch up with Grandpa and the others, you won't be able to eat my cooking anymore. You'll have to eat steamed buns and pancakes with everyone else every day!"
"Okay, then I'll eat more, thank you Luo Luo!"
"Uncle Mu Feng, you don't need to be so polite. Being too polite will make you feel distant. Just treat us the same way you treat Uncle Mu Xiao!"
Mu Feng thought for a moment, realizing that he had always been very polite to others, except for Mu Xiao.
Qin Luo and the others are Mu Xiao's family, so they are his own family.
After figuring it out, he looked at Qin Luo.
"Okay, I won't be polite from now on! Then feed me a few more pieces!"
"Okay!"
After Qin Luo finished feeding, she asked again
"Uncle Mu Feng, what would you like to eat for lunch? Tell me, and I'll make it for you if I have any ideas."
Mu Feng blurted out
"Soup for rice, is it okay to use the venison broth from before?"
Qin Luo laughed when he heard this.
"Of course! I like it too. We'll have venison soup with rice for lunch!"
Mu Feng felt like he hadn't been this happy in a long time.
He used to eat very well at the Marquis's residence, but if Mu Xiao wasn't there, he was always alone.
No one else wanted to be with him.
Now, Qin Luo and the others not only don't mind that he's disabled, but they also...
They always thought of him and I really hope I can continue to get along with them.
As soon as Qin Luo stepped out of the carriage, he saw Qin Xian walking over.
"Luo Luo, has he finished eating?"
Qin Luo showed him the empty bowl.
"We've finished eating, let's go eat too! We're having wontons today."
Qin Xian immediately pressed for an answer.
"And what about venison? I could smell it when Doctor You was eating it."
Qin Luo always found himself at a loss for words when facing this younger cousin.
"Yes, yes, yes, one bowl of wontons and one plate for each person, is that enough?"
Qin Xian swallowed hard: "Enough, enough."
The two walked up to Doctor You, and Qin Liang was waiting there as well.
They took out wontons and venison, and the three of them began to eat heartily.
After finishing their meal, Qin Liang and Qin Xian went to the carriage.
Qin Luo and Doctor You waited on the side.
Qin Luo asked Doctor You
"Grandpa You, should we speed up Qi Bai today? Uncle Mu Feng seems much better; he should be able to move his arms and legs a bit tomorrow."
Dr. You is particularly reluctant to give up the days when she has plenty to eat and drink.
"I don't really want to catch up so quickly, but let Qibai speed up! So your great-grandfather won't worry. But it can't be too fast, just a normal speed!"
Qin Luo nodded to indicate that he understood.
After Qin Liang and Qin Xian finished getting ready, she went to feed the seven hundred.
Seven hundred people were so happy to receive a carrot that they shouted with joy.
The group set off at Chenshi (7-9 AM).
700 has quickened its pace a bit compared to yesterday.
Qin Xian asked Qin Liang
"Sixth cousin, will we be able to catch up with Uncle and the others today?"
"At this rate, it should be fine. Uncle will definitely slow down and wait for us. We should catch up this afternoon if nothing unexpected happens."
Qin Xian felt a little regretful.
"Then I'll be eating flatbread every day again, sigh!"
Doctor You reached out and tapped him on the head.
"All you think about is eating. Don't you miss your wife and son?"
Qin Xian scratched his head awkwardly.
"I still want to, but I can't bear to give up the delicious food!"
Qin Liang tossed the reins into his hands.
"Watch the road, don't let 700 go astray!"
Qin Xian then started driving the carriage in a serious manner.
Qin Liang guessed correctly; Qin Ling and his group had been moving very slowly.
