Seeing Feng Jiuyan's family passing by, no matter how reluctant the second house was, they had to greet them with a smile.
Feng Jiuyan glanced at their family coldly, her sight fell on Madam Feng Er, who looked a little guilty. Feng Jiuyan sneered, and took Madam Feng Da and Feng Jiuli to directly pass by them and ignore them.
The corners of Mrs. Feng's mouth drooped suddenly. She hated herself for not being able to keep her temper. All her previous efforts to please the first wife's family were wasted.
Feng Qingyun looked at the cold attitude of the eldest family in confusion, and asked, "Mother, what happened to her? Weren't they fine this morning? Why are they so cold again?"
Madam Feng blushed, feeling somewhat at a loss. "Yes, it was my mother who said a few extra words on the mountain just now, and the little girl must have heard it."
After Feng Qingyun's repeated questioning, Mrs. Feng Er finally told him the whole story.
"Mother, if you act like this, won't the baggage in front of us be hanging on the tree in vain? And my leg," Feng Qingyun pointed at his broken leg with veins popping out on his forehead, "and my son's leg, isn't it also broken in vain? Mother, you are too impatient!"
Faced with the rebuke from her beloved son, Mrs. Feng Er looked embarrassed and filled with regret.

On the other side, Feng Jiuyan and his family walked a few laps and almost digested the food, then they slowly walked back to their resting place.
The Song Chen brothers and sisters placed the cleaned pots, pans, bowls, and plates on the shaft of the cart. Feng Jiuyan got on the donkey cart first and moved the pots, pans, bowls, and dining tables back into the carriage and placed them there.
Before Feng Jiuli entered the carriage, she quickly wrapped the two slaughtered pheasants and half a rabbit in oil paper, as well as the wild vegetables and wild mushrooms she picked from the mountains, and put them all into the space to keep them fresh.
Since the weather is a bit cool now, food is not easy to stink and rot. Even if she puts pheasants and other food into the space to keep them fresh, it will not arouse suspicion from others.
Put the items in the carriage in order, and put all the valuable items or those that are not needed temporarily into the space.
After packing up the things in the carriage, Feng Jiuyan opened the carriage and invited Madam Feng and Feng Jiuli to enter.
As soon as the mother and son got on the donkey cart, they obviously noticed that some things were missing from the carriage, but no one said anything and no one asked.
Feng Jiuyan and his family of three were lying in the carriage. Feng Jiuli was holding Huahua and talking in a low voice. Feng Jiuyan and Madam Feng were also chatting in a low voice.
After a while, Feng Jiuyan heard a small snoring sound. Turning around, he saw that the little guy had fallen asleep.
She put her mouth close to Madam Feng's ear, pointed at the messenger bag on her back, and asked in a low voice, "Mother, do you want to take a bath? I'll take you into the air, uh, into the messenger bag to take a bath?"
Madam Feng shook her head. "No, I just washed it yesterday. It's better for me not to go into such a precious place, lest someone accidentally finds out and causes you trouble. But you can go in, I'll cover for you."
Feng Jiuyan was not surprised at all when she heard her mother say this.
Ever since she told her mother about the "cross-body bag", her mother has been covering for her and has been very careful, fearing that someone would notice something and bring her into danger.
"Mother, it's okay. No one will find out. Don't worry. I have my own plans." Feng Jiuyan comforted her.
As the two were talking, Huahua, who was nestled in Feng Jiuli's arms, suddenly opened her eyes, her hair stood up, she cried softly, and her pair of black eyes stared closely at the outside of the carriage.
Seeing this, Feng Jiuyan quickly sat up. With a thought, a dagger appeared in her hand. She pressed herself against the wall of the carriage with caution, carefully opened the small window, and looked out.
Quiet, very quiet.
In the light of the piles of fire, all the prisoners were seen sleeping on the ground or leaning against trees with their eyes closed.
A breeze blew by, and the trees on the mountain rustled.
Suddenly, several men in black night clothes flew down from the trees several hundred meters away like ghosts. Their movements were light and agile, without making any sound.
They rushed straight towards the donkey cart as if they had a clear goal.
The prisoners and officers around the donkey cart seemed unaware of the arrival of these uninvited guests and were still dozing off in their places.
Fortunately, Feng Jiuyan had been drinking spiritual spring water for a long time. Under the effect of the spiritual spring water, her eyesight was much better than that of ordinary people. Therefore, she was able to easily find the traces of the man in black.
Without any hesitation, Feng Jiuyan quickly closed the car window. Madam Feng asked anxiously, "Ah Yan, did something happen outside?"
"Mother, let's get off the donkey cart immediately." Feng Jiuyan said calmly, quickly picked up the sleeping Feng Jiuli, opened the back door of the carriage, and climbed down first.
Mrs. Feng saw her daughter's gloomy face and knew the seriousness of the matter. She said nothing more, picked up Huahua with great effort, and followed her daughter.
The family of three got off the donkey cart before the men in black came close.
Feng Jiuyan reached into her messenger bag with one hand, took out a small incense burner with burning incense, and quickly placed it in the carriage. Then, she instructed her mother to lock the back door of the carriage from the outside and restore it to its original state.
Afterwards, Feng Jiuyan took Madam Feng and Feng Jiuli and walked quickly behind a big tree not far from the donkey cart.
Perhaps because of the hasty walking, Feng Jiuli, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened. As soon as the little fellow opened his eyes, he saw his sister's small and delicate chin and cold face.
He smelled something unusual and hugged his sister's neck without saying a word.
Soon, Feng Jiuyan and Madam Feng took Huahua and Feng Jiuli and hid behind a big tree.
The family of three, including Huahua, hid behind a big tree, watching the movements of the donkey cart in silence.
The men in black quietly approached the donkey cart, their faces covered with a piece of black cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed. Their eyes revealed a kind of determination and coldness.
One of the men in black jumped lightly onto the donkey cart, holding a gleaming short sword in his hand. He carefully unbolted the door of the carriage and opened it.
The moment the carriage was opened, a strange fragrance wafted out. The man in black did not suspect anything, thinking it was just an ordinary fragrance, and did not pay much attention to it.
He looked carefully and found that there was no one in the carriage!
The mother and her two children, who were supposed to be resting in the carriage, were not there.
The man in black quickly exited the carriage and gestured to his companions waiting outside. Another man in black, with doubt in his eyes, lightly jumped onto the donkey cart and leaned over to check.
Sure enough, there was no one in the medium-sized carriage.
