After Wei Ruo and his companions returned to the town, Wei Ruo went to the courtyard to unload a bag of rice from the horse carriage waiting there.
Throughout their journey, Wei Ruo had taken so many things from the carriage that Xiaobei couldn't help but marvel more than once about how the carriage seemed like a treasure chest.
As a matter of fact, Wei Ruo took all the food items from a spatial pocket to lighten the load of the carriage, which would make them travel faster.
To make their act seem more plausible, Wei Ruo only brought a fifty-pound bag this time, not wanting to arouse suspicion by carrying too heavy a load.
After retrieving some of the food, they set off once again, making their way back to Fengting Mountain.
It was noon and the displaced villagers that hid in the mountains were rummaging the desolate woods in search of roots and tree barks to eat.
