The Farmer‘s Eldest Daughter Has a Spatial Pocket

Chapter 18: The Bamboo Basket Is Heavy

There was not much porridge in the bamboo tube. It was only enough for everyone to drink two mouthfuls, but at least it was enough to put something in their stomachs.

The sky was already completely dark. As usual, Gu Yundong sat at the side and guarded everyone.

There were too many people at the city gate, so she did not dare to let her guard down.

The night was still illuminated by the faint flames. There were also many faint sounds. In the distance, there were faint cries.

In this place, there were still people who starved to death and worked themselves to death every day. There were also robberies and fights.

No wonder it was chaotic. If the magistrate officials in the city did not think of a way to solve the problem, the small chaos would eventually cause a huge disaster.

"Girl?" Just as she was thinking, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

Gu Yundong's expression suddenly tightened. She saw a staggering figure walking over. When he got closer, she saw that it was the old man surnamed Yu who had spoken to her previously.

Gu Yundong quickly stood up. "Sir, what's the matter?"

"Girl." Old Man Yu walked closer and lowered his voice. He said anxiously, "If you can leave, leave quickly. My son and grandson are back. They just brought back news that those people might attack tomorrow morning. I don't know what they will do. When the time comes, you won't be able to escape with your younger siblings."

Gu Yundong was stunned. She felt that it might be chaotic in the next two days, but she did not expect it to happen so quickly.

"What about you, sir?"

Old Man Yu smiled bitterly. "My son said that we shouldn't get involved in such matters. When the time comes, we'll hide far away. As for the future, we'll take it one step at a time. Alright, girl, leave quickly. Don't delay."

Gu Yundong nodded and squatted down to wake Madam Yang up.

She directly asked Madam Yang to carry Gu Yunshu while she carried Gu Yunke.

They did not have many things. They basically placed them in the baskets on their backs and could leave after taking them.

Gu Yundong also realized that a few families were quietly preparing to leave not far away. It seemed that they had received the news and did not want to get involved.

Madam Yang was still in a daze, but at least she was obedient. When her daughter asked her to leave, she immediately followed.

The few of them passed by the place where Old Man Yu was resting. Gu Yundong saw his equally skinny son and grandson. The two of them were quite friendly to her and nodded slightly.

Gu Yundong also nodded. However, she paused when she reached the place where they had placed their bamboo baskets before leaving.

Old Man Yu sent them off. "This place is close to Wanqing Province. Be careful on the way."

"Take care too." After a pause, she added, "Go back and take a look at your bamboo basket."

Gu Yundong's movements were light, but her footsteps were hurried.

However, she did head towards the Wanqing Province that Old Man Yu had mentioned. When Eldest Master Yu could not see her, she turned around and walked in the direction of Xuanhe Province, which was a little further away.

If this place was in chaos, many people would definitely escape to Wanqing Province. The chaos here might even affect the other side.

She had food on hand. No matter where she went, she would not starve to death on the way. It was safer to go to a safer place. Xuanhe Prefecture was her first choice at the moment.

Old Man Yu waited until they could no longer be seen before turning around to go back.

His son came over and helped him sit down. "Is that family the people Father mentioned earlier? I really can't tell that they have the ability to escape to this place."

"That girl is ruthless. I admire her for her strength, just like when your mother was young." Old Man Yu wiped his eyes and chuckled. "Let's go and hide in the mountains."

"Okay." Old Man Yu's son asked his own son to support his father while he carried the bamboo basket.

Uncle Yu was stunned that he did not carry it on his back successfully the first time. "Strange, why is this bamboo basket so heavy?"
