Now they had no choice but to keep going, so they ignored Li Hui's strange noises and continued walking quickly forward.
The journey ahead was extremely difficult because they had no food at all. There were no villages nearby, and they had been starving for many days, facing a crisis of hunger.
No matter how many difficulties and obstacles they encountered, they were able to overcome them through their tacit understanding and cooperation.
"Xia Sen, you can eat these."
"Sister, I don't want to. My body is much stronger than yours. You can eat these things, I don't need to."
"Don't refuse, you've already given in to me so many times along the way."
"You should take these and eat them! If you don't eat them, I'll throw them all away later."
"Okay, sister, then I'll eat it."
Throughout the journey, Xia Sen ate very little, giving almost everything to Xu Yuehuai.
Xia Sen would only eat something if Xu Yuehuai forced him to.
However, Xia Sen secretly hid some food, intending to save it for Xu Yuehuai later.
They continued walking towards the direction of Wuling Kingdom.
Xia Sennan had no idea where the road led, but seeing that it was becoming increasingly deserted, he felt something was off.
"Sister, where are we going now?"
"There's nobody around here!"
"Sister, you haven't gotten lost, have you?"
Xu Yuehuai looked to the side and realized that she hadn't gone the wrong way at all, so she said to Xia Sen.
“I remember it’s this road. I’ve seen it on a map before, and that’s how it’s shown.”
"Where are we going now? I've never traveled this far before, and I have no idea where we're going?"
Xia Sen asked, and Xu Yuehuai replied immediately.
"The place we are going to now is not within the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom, but the Wuling Kingdom."
"What? It's Wuling Kingdom? I've heard that Wuling Kingdom is the best at making weapons, and the people there are particularly fierce. Is my brother-in-law in Wuling Kingdom? Otherwise, why would my sister take me there?"
Although Xia Sen didn't know much about Wuling Kingdom, he was still a little afraid to go to other countries whenever he thought about the stories the old people had told him about those countries.
“I don’t know where your brother-in-law is right now. I’ve already discussed it with him, and we’ll meet in the villages along the way.”
"But we haven't found any trace of them in any of the villages we've passed along the way. They've probably already gone to Wuling Kingdom. So we don't need to linger by the roadside anymore; we should just go straight to Wuling Kingdom."
Xu Yuehuai carefully examined the road ahead and realized that they were getting closer and closer to Wuling Kingdom.
But as they walked, they suddenly came to a place with mountains.
This place seemed eerily quiet, and as one ventured deeper into this chaotic land, everything appeared particularly dangerous.
Suddenly, a lot of people appeared on the road.
Suddenly, they discovered that the number of refugees on the road was increasing day by day, with dozens appearing one after another along the entire road.
"Sister, why are there suddenly so many refugees on this road?"
"Could it be that they, like us, want to go to Wuling Kingdom?"
"Wouldn't the Wuling Kingdom accept so many refugees?"
Looking at so many people, Xia Sen thought that if they really went to Wuling Kingdom, that country probably wouldn't allow so many of them to enter.
Xu Yuehuai hadn't actually thought about this issue at first, but it suddenly came to mind when he heard him say it.
"Perhaps when we go there, the people of Wuling Kingdom really won't let so many refugees in."
"But I must go to Wuling Kingdom no matter what, the person I'm looking for is there."
"If there is any price to pay, I will pay it."
"Then you should hide in a safe place. After I find your brother-in-law, I will have him take me to find you."
Did you hear that?
Xu Yuehuai said to Xia Sen.
Upon hearing this, Xia Sen immediately shook his head.
"I already said I would never abandon my sister. No matter where she is or what dangers she may encounter, I will not leave her."
"I said I would stay with my sister forever!"
"Sister, you want to be with me, right?"
Xu Yuehuai felt that these words were a double entendre.
"Yes, of course I'd like to be with you."
"But for your safety's sake, I hope you will take good care of yourself when the time comes."
Then, as they were saying this, they suddenly seemed to hear the sound of a child crying.
They looked in the direction the child was crying and found some babies abandoned on the road.
The babies were crying loudly, their bodies covered in filth, and there was no one else around.
When Xu Yuehuai saw this scene, her heart was deeply touched.
"How could anyone leave their child here?"
"These children are innocent!"
How could they be so cruel?
Xu Yuehuai simply couldn't believe that so many adorable children had been abandoned here.
But she is now powerless and doesn't know what to do with so many children.
She looked at the innocent children, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Xiasen, do you remember the food we just ate?" She suddenly remembered the food they had eaten and wanted to share it with the children.
"Yes, I have some food here."
Xia Sen nodded, and then they took out the food they had eaten earlier and distributed it all to the children.
These children are here now, and they have no way to take them with them.
They left all their food for the children, hoping that some kind person would see them and take them away.
Now that they have run out of food, they are facing a food shortage crisis.
"Xia Sen, what should we do next?" Xu Yuehuai didn't know where to find food.
"Sister, we have nothing left now, I..."
Xia Sen spoke, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
Xu Yuehuai knew exactly what Xia Sen was going to say next, so she spoke.
"Xia Sen, we have nothing left now. If I can't hold on and something happens to me, you must stay alive."
"We'll go to Wuling Kingdom first. Once we get there, everything will be alright."
"Everything will be alright!" Xu Yuehuai said, leading Xia Sen towards Wuling Kingdom.
