Found Him (1)

Because Gao Mingkun already knew where his brother was, and they weren't too far apart, he soon found the latter.0

"Brother Mingjiang…"

Standing some distance away, Gao Mingkun looked up and shouted at a cabin.

The family had been building a cabin when he last saw Gao Mingkun. It was finished and was buried in the thick growth of leaves. Neither the sun nor the rain could touch it, and it was indeed very comfortable.

Feng Wu knew that Gao Mingkun was here when she heard his footsteps, but she didn't move.

Right now, she was recuperating, for she knew that the journey to the Northern Yan Kingdom would only get more dangerous.

Hearing his brother's voice, Gao Mingjiang jumped off the treehouse.

"Mingkun!" Gao Mingjiang sounded both excited and anxious.

After all, they were family, and Gao Mingjiang had no intention of abandoning them. He had done that because he wanted the old lady and the others to know how difficult it was to survive on their own so that they wouldn't make trouble for him in the future.

It had been a few days, and he wondered how they were doing.

Gao Mingkun didn't go any closer but stood some distance away.

Gao Mingjiang ran as fast as he could, but Gao Mingkun waved him off. "Brother, stay away from me!"

"Mingkun, what's wrong? What happened?"

Gao Mingjiang panicked when he saw his younger brother, who was covered in wounds, had a bruised face, and was limping.

"Stay away from me! I may have caught the plague!"

Seeing that Gao Mingjiang was coming, Gao Mingkun stumbled back.

"The plague?!" Gao Mingjiang frowned and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Is the situation out there so bad already?"

Gao Mingkun didn't waste any time. He quickly told his brother what happened.

Li and her children stood by Gao Mingjiang's side and were dumbfounded.

"Someone has taken the carriages?

"And all the food?

"And the luggage too?

"How did that happen…"

Gao Mingjiang and Li looked at each other in bewilderment. When they heard that the others were fighting over the dead rat, Gao Mingjiang's family was in tears.

"It was all my fault… I shouldn't have… I shouldn't have…"

Gao Mingjiang's eyes were filled with tears.

Li took Gao Mingjiang's arm. "No, it's all my fault. I was narrow-minded. That's why… I… I…"

Seeing that Gao Mingjiang and his wife were blaming themselves, Gao Mingkun said bitterly, "Brother, that's what we're facing now. What do you think we should do?"

Gao Mingjiang said, "I'll go with you!"

Li said, "I'll go with you too…"

But Gao Mingjiang shook his head and said affirmatively, "No, what if you and the kids catch the plague? I can't let that happen!"

Li looked at Gao Mingjiang with teary eyes. "But if you're killed, how am I supposed to live?"

Gao Mingjiang tried to appease her. "What if it's not the plague? Don't worry. Even if it is, I'm healthy enough to pull through. My mom has given you and the kids a hard time, and you're too weak to survive it."

He was going to follow Gao Mingkun after that.

Just then, Feng Wu sighed. "It's a mess out there. Why don't we let them come here?"
