And what's worth noting is that the cart was being pulled by a child carrying a sapling on his back.
It was already strange enough to see a child pulling an empty cart on the road of escape from famine, but what was even more peculiar was that there were three more children sitting on the cart.
All these children were wearing hooded cloaks, and one of them was even holding a branch to enjoy the shade.
Although their genders were not discernible, one could tell from their size and physique that they were definitely not old.
Yet despite their tender age, they were captivating to behold.
After all, one child was pulling three others—that child pulling the cart must have been exceptionally strong.
Just as the people wanted to take a closer look to see what was going on, the sharp gazes of four adult men carrying crossbows, who stood by the cart, simultaneously scanned their surroundings.
The onlookers were taken aback and promptly made themselves scarce.
