Chapter 93

"Crunch."

"Crunch."

The thick boots crunched in the snow, making a loud noise.

The road leading into the county town had already been trampled by a large army.

The snow was packed hard.

The path was a bit slippery.

But it wouldn't cause anyone to sink down, so the speed wasn't affected.

The entire family of five from the Jiang household had set out.

Jiang Mianmian was bundled up like a ball again, but since she was small, she had no say in the matter. Being a ball, even if she fell, it wouldn't hurt much.

After all, no one would pay attention to her anyway.

Her little pocket also carried Jiang Xiaoshu.

Although Elder Sister Jiang Yu complained about not having new clothes to wear, at the thought of going to the county town for a feast, she couldn't help but drool in submission.

She asked Jiang Feng nervously, "Brother, you've been there before. Where do we eat, do we need to wear bibs? Do we use the spoon with the left or right hand? I heard the townspeople are particular about etiquette, and that the spoon and chopsticks must be used with separate hands."

Jiang Feng was a bit nervous too.

But being asked such a string of questions by his younger sister Little Jiang Yu made him both amused and saddened.

Well, he had only been there once before.

The last time was the last time.

"Just go and see how others eat, then do the same. Don't speak, just focus on eating," Jiang Feng said.

"What if they poison the food?" Jiang Yu asked again.

Jiang Feng: ...

Jiang Mianmian: ...

Father spoke up, "They probably won't. If they wanted to poison us, they wouldn't need to go through so much trouble. They could just poison the well."

Qin Luoxia looked at her Husband with adoring eyes, her Husband was so wise.

The family walked toward the county town as if going to a market fair.

Outside, Jiang Mianmian's little nose was red from the cold, but she was still very excited.

Woo woo woo, family, who knows? For the first time in her life, she was finally, finally going into town!

She danced with excitement, overjoyed.

Seeing Traitor Brother nearby, she couldn't help but give him a sweet smile.

Jiang Changtian chatted amiably with the guards.

"Might I ask the brave warrior's honored surname and great name?"

"Ma Nansheng. My mother had a difficult labor giving birth to me."

"A difficult birth, but smooth sailing after growing up."

"How many in your household?"

"Seven. Me, my Wife, two children, a younger Sister, and my parents."

"Not easy."

"Yes. The Lord gave us money recently, which I've already sent home, so they shouldn't go hungry."

"Life will get better and better for all of us."

"Yes."

"Do you miss home?"

"Yes."

"If you have time in the future, come visit us. We don't have much to offer, but my sister-in-law can make you some noodle soup."

"Yes."

As they walked further, the sky grew darker, and the wind picked up.

The guards' eyes were red from the wind.

Jiang Mianmian's face was also flushed red from the cold.

Swaying in her Mother's warm embrace, she grew sleepy again.
