Gu Yundong returned to where Yang Shi and the others were hiding, picking up the basket on the ground. “Let’s go. More people will gather here soon.”

With the fighting at the city gate, some people who didn’t want to get involved would surely leave.

Gu Yuke had also awakened. The little girl rubbed her eyes and spoke softly, “Big sister, hungry.”

“…” Gu Yundong massaged her forehead and then took out several small rice balls from the cloth bag, handing one to her, one to Gu Yunshu, and a couple to Yang Shi. She also ate two herself.

These small rice balls were made by them before they set out in the morning. Inside, there was a bit of pickled vegetables. The pickled vegetables contained oil and salt, making the rice balls delicious and perfect for filling their stomachs on the road.

They couldn’t take them out earlier when there were many people at the city gate, but now was a good time to eat.

After eating, Gu Yundong set off with the three of them.

The road to Xuanhe Mansion was indeed much calmer than the previous stretch. There were still refugees, but their mental states were noticeably different.

Most people had ox carts, donkey carts, horse carts, and almost no one was traveling on foot.

Naturally, no one would come looking for Gu Yundong’s group, who obviously looked impoverished and lacked money and grain.

After traveling for a few days like this, Gu Yundong finally found a cart in her space.

She had seen this cart passing through a small village when she was in the apocalypse. At that time, the cart was loaded with several bags of corn kernels, and she had taken both the corn and the cart into her space.

Later, the corn was unloaded, but the cart had been lying in the corner, unused. Now, it came in handy. Fortunately, the cart’s two wheels were made of wood, so it wouldn’t attract too much attention.

Gu Yundong found an opportunity to say to Yang Shi, “Rest here for a while. I’ll go over there and relieve myself.”

She ran into a patch of grass half as tall as a person. When she came out, she was already pulling a cart behind her.

Gu Yunshu was stunned. “Big sister, where did this come from?”

“I found it in the grass over there. Maybe someone didn’t want it and left it there.” Gu Yundong explained to Gu Yunko and Yang Shi, who were equally curious, “You all come up. Let me see if I can pull you.”

The cart was relatively long, so if people sat towards the back, the person pulling the cart would feel much lighter. Moreover, they were now traveling on the official road, which was smooth and easy to walk on.

Yang Shi lifted Gu Yunko and Gu Yunshu onto the cart, then hesitated for a moment before climbing on herself, feeling curious yet cautious.

Gu Yundong still had considerable strength. She pressed down on the front of the cart, grabbed the handles, and started walking forward.

At first, it was a bit difficult, but gradually, she didn’t need much force, and the wheels rolled forward with inertia.

Gu Yunshu twisted his body happily. “This is great. With this cart, mother and big sister won’t have to carry me and little sister so laboriously.”

“Can lie down,” Gu Yunko, although small, had been cramped inside the basket all this time, unable to stretch out her limbs, which was very uncomfortable.

Yang Shi touched the guardrails on both sides of the cart and saw that there was also a barrier at the back, preventing them from falling off.

Gu Yundong looked back at the three of them, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.

With the cart, their speed indeed increased significantly.

Gu Yundong and Yang Shi took turns pulling the cart. Gu Yundong could also sleep in the cart during the day after staying up for guard duty at night, saving them a lot of time.

As a result, when they arrived at the gate of Xuanhe Mansion, it hadn’t even been a month, which greatly exceeded Gu Yundong’s expectations.
