Chapter 36: A Hunch
Xiao Shao looked at Xu Xiang silently, then looked up at the sky. Tilting his head and stare at the sky, he could see nothing but the bright sun and clear sky. There were only a few clouds there to provide some shade as it flew past the sun.
Turning his gaze back to her calm face, he asked, "Why are you in such a hurry today?"
Hearing his question, Xu Xiang glanced at him. She frowned slightly, and said, "I have a hunch that we have to leave this place before sunset."
Listening to her answer, Xiao Shao raised his eyebrows since it was rare to see her frowning. He pondered on her words for a while and nodded.
"Then we have to hurry. Give me the food and water bags, and I will give it to the Fan family. They will distribute it themselves, so you can give the rest of the food to my family." He took a few bags from her while talking.
She looked at him and asked, "What about you?"
"Mhm?" He looked at her confusedly because he didn’t quite understand her question.
Seeing that he was confused, she asked, "How about your food?"
"I will ride the mule cart with you." He answered her while walking towards the other members of the Fan family.
