Chapter 11: Two Paths

A few men dressed like Lin Yue pushed open the door and entered. They asked, "Guard Lin, is Young Master alright?"

Lin Yue waved his hand. "I'm fine. How's Master?"

One of them said, "No news yet."

Lin Yue lowered his eyes and said decisively, "Let's set off now and escort Young Master to the Beiyun City. Master might already be waiting for us there, but can't send out any news."

The men nodded in agreement. "Alright, the longer we delay, the more dangerous it will be. Young Master also needs someone to take care of him."

Lin Yue held the child and looked back at Chu Tianbao and Bai Wutong, who were being treated as a backdrop. He said simply, "Thank you."

Just as Lin Yue was about to walk out of the door, Bai Wutong stopped him. "Wait."

Lin Yue and the others stood still and looked at her.

Bai Wutong took out a water pouch from her bag and handed it to Lin Yue. She looked at little stinky, who was sleeping soundly, and instructed, "There's some mushy porridge inside. Be careful when feeding it to him."

She mixed baby milk in the porridge and hoped that it would last until stinky was taken care of.

Lin Yue took a deep look at Bai Wutong and said, "Thank you."

Watching them mount their horses and disappear from sight, envy flashed across Bai Wutong's eyes. If only she could get a horse too.

Suddenly quiet, Chu Tianbao said regretfully, "Stinky is gone."

Bai Wutong glanced at him and smiled. "Does Tianbao like Stinky?"

After some serious thought, Chu Tianbao replied, "I like it when Stinky doesn't cry."

Who wouldn't like a soft baby?

Bai Wutong patted him on the shoulder and smiled. "Let's go." Perhaps they would meet again when they had the chance.

Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao continued towards the Beiyun City.

Perhaps it was Bai Wutong's imagination, but after the rain, the refugees' mental state was much better than the day before.

The grayness in their eyes had mostly faded. It was also possible that it was because they were about to reach Beiyun City.

Although they were both refugees, no matter how Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao disguised themselves, they could not hide the fact that they were considered well-endowed.

No matter how many waves of them were slaughtered, there were still starving refugees who pounced on them.

Walking through the sparsely populated forest, there were even more people who saw them as targets.

Their originally fast footsteps also slowed down.

It wasn't easy for them to reach the Beiyun City, but they were blocked at the entrance again.

The dense crowd of refugees surged forward in waves, and the road was so crowded that not even a drop of water could trickle through.

The agitated refugees had bloodshot eyes and were so hungry that they had lost their minds. A donkey shared by a few people had actually been bitten to death.

The woman holding the child trembled in fear. "What kind of sin have we committed!"

Bai Wutong asked her, "Auntie, why is everyone stopping here?"

The woman looked back at her and saw Chu Tianbao behind her. She backed away in panic. When she saw that there was nowhere to hide, she trembled. "The soldiers are collecting the passing fee at the front. If we can't take out a tael of silver, they won't let us pass." As she spoke, she reached the sad part. "We sold everything and had to eat tree bark and dig up grass to get here. How can we fork out a tael of silver? They are not after silver at all, but our lives! God, why are you so blind—"
