Ning Yue glanced at Xiao Chen, who had already regained his senses, and couldn’t help but sigh. She wondered how Eldest Aunt’s family was doing.

However, since she had saved the child here, she would take him with her first.

“Yueyue, where are we going next?” Old Master Ning asked for her opinion.

During this escape, he realized that Ning Yue was different from before. Moreover, she had her own opinions on everything. Every time she encountered something, she could deal with it calmly.

Therefore, every time Old Master Ning encountered something, he would subconsciously want to ask for Ning Yue’s opinion.

In the beginning, Ning Yue did not feel anything. Now that she was quiet, Ning Yue felt a little embarrassed when Old Master Ning asked her this question.

“Grandpa, let’s ask the village chief and see where we should go next. After all, the village chief is our backbone.” Ning Yue looked up at her surroundings.

The city gates were not open and they could not meet the conditions to enter. Now, they could only find a place to settle down for the time being.

The village chief was not far from their family. It was a little late now. It was not realistic to enter the city gates. They might as well sit down with Ning Bai and the others to discuss.

When Old Master Ning heard this, he asked Ning Yue to bring him to the village chief.

Ning Bai had seen Old Master Ning and Ning Yue from afar. Ning Yue had done them a favor, so he immediately stood up to welcome them.

“You’re here?” Ning Bai said excitedly.

Old Master Ning patted Ning Bai. “Village Chief, if we want to go north, we have to enter the city and pass through it to reach our destination. I’ve asked around. It takes three taels of silver to enter White Cloud City alone. We don’t have that much silver on us.”

After saying that, Old Master Ning deliberately paused and observed Ning Bai’s expression. After a while, Old Master Ning continued, “The second method is to take a detour.”

“But if we take a detour, we’ll have to pass through a deep mountain to reach Linzhou. I heard that there are many wild animals in the deep mountains and they’re very dangerous. I’m afraid we can’t defeat them.”

Not to mention the steep path in the deep mountains, the danger inside was also something they could not predict.

This was also why Old Master Ning had come to tell Ning Bai about this.

He hadn’t considered the possibility of abandoning the village and letting only their family entering the city. In ancient times, this clan mentality had been ingrained in him.He would consider everyone in the large clan.

As expected, Ning Bai looked troubled.

Not many people were willing to take a detour after walking so far. She sighed, suddenly unable to make up her mind.

In the next moment, Ning Bai seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Ning Yue. “Yueyue, do you have any objections?”

Due to their interaction during this period of time, Ning Bai felt that Ning Yue was a very opinionated child. Like Old Master Ning, he subconsciously asked her.

Ning Yue thought for a while. “I don’t know either. Now, as Grandpa said, either everyone has to prepare three taels of silver to enter the city or take a detour.”

At this point, Ning Yue smiled bitterly. What could she do?

Her space had money, but if this money was exposed, it would be a disaster for her entire clan.

Perhaps the secret of her inexhaustible supplies would be exposed. That would not do.

But so far, she had no good ideas at all.

Ning Bai sighed. That was true. Ning Yue was just a girl. She had just been a little lucky recently. In the end, men still had to decide on such a big matter.

The three of them suddenly fell silent.

Suddenly, wolf howls came from all around.

“What’s going on?” Ning Bai was flustered. They had been reduced to this state because of the famine. If they still encountered the wolf pack, there would be no way out.

Ning Yue’s expression darkened. A wolf pack!

The wolves were usually on the mountain. Why did they suddenly go down the mountain?

This was outside White Cloud City. Why were there wolves here?

However, Ning Yue did not have the time to consider how the wolf pack had come about. The people here had fled their homes. There were old, young and weak people. Even if there were strong men, they were hungry and did not have the strength to continue on their way.

If everyone encountered the wolf pack head-on, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Village Chief, quickly wake everyone up. Grandpa, let’s go back and call everyone over!” They could not be alone. Otherwise, they would be doomed.

At the thought of this, Ning Yue decided to let Old Master Ning wait with Ning Bai. She went back to call for help.
