Chapter 22: Pushcart
Gu Yundong returned to where Madam Yang and the others were hiding. She carried the basket that was on the ground. "Let's go. There will be more people in a while."
There was a fight at the city gate. Some people who did not want to get involved would definitely leave.
Gu Yunke had already woken up. The little girl rubbed her eyes and said in a low voice, "Elder Sister, I'm hungry."
"…" Gu Yundong held her forehead and took out a few small rice balls the size of meatballs from the cloth bag. After giving them to her, she stuffed them into Gu Yunshu and Madam Yang's hands and ate two herself.
This small rice ball was made before they set off this morning. It was still wrapped in a little pickled vegetables. There was oil and salt in the pickled vegetables, and it could also make the taste of the rice ball delicious. It was the most suitable food to fill one's stomach on the way to escape.
Previously, there were too many people at the city gate and it was not convenient to take them out. Now, it was just enough to fill their stomachs.
After eating, Gu Yundong set off with the three of them.
As expected, the road to Xuanhe Province was much calmer than the previous road. There were still people fleeing, but their mental state was clearly different.
Most of the people had ox carts, donkey carts, and carriages. They barely bumped into their peers on the road.
Naturally, no one would come looking for Gu Yundong and the others who looked very down and out.
After walking for a few days, Gu Yundong finally found a pushcart in her spatial storage.
This was what she had obtained when she passed by a small village to collect supplies during the apocalypse. At that time, there were several bags of corn kernels piled on the pushcart. She had even put the corn kernels and the cart into her space.
Later on, the corn kernels were unloaded, but the pushcart had been piled in the corner by her. Now, it was useful. Fortunately, the two wheels of this pushcart were made of wood and would not attract too much attention.
Gu Yundong found an opportunity and said to Madam Yang, "You guys rest here for a while. I'll go there to relieve myself."
She ran into the grass that was half the height of a person. When she came out again, there was already a pushcart behind her.
Gu Yunshu was stunned. "Sister, where did this come from?"
"I found it in the grass over there. Someone might have abandoned it and thrown it there." Gu Yundong said to Gu Yunke and Madam Yang, who were also curious. "All of you, come up. I'll see if I can pull you up."
The pushcart was relatively long. If someone sat at the back, the person pulling the cart would feel that the load was much lighter. What's more, they were walking on the official road now. It was easier to walk on the flat road.
Madam Yang carried Gu Yunshu and Gu Yunke up. She hesitated for a moment before going up carefully.
Gu Yundong was quite strong now. She pressed the front of the cart down, grabbed two handles, and walked forward.
It was a little difficult at first, but slowly, it did not require much strength. The wheels would also roll forward according to inertia.
Gu Yunshu twisted his body happily. "That's great. With this cart, Mother and Eldest Sister won't have to work so hard to carry me and Little Sister."
"I can lie down." Although Gu Yunke was small, she had been curled up in the basket on her back all this time and could not stretch her limbs. She felt very uncomfortable.
Madam Yang touched the guardrails on both sides of the pushcart. There was also a barrier at the back of the car to prevent it from falling.
Gu Yundong turned to look at the three of them, and the corners of her mouth subconsciously curled up. Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m nov𝒆lb(i)n.c(o)m
With the pushcart, their speed was indeed much faster.
Gu Yundong and Madam Yang would switch shifts. After Gu Yundong kept watch at night, she could also sleep in the cart during the day the next day, saving a lot of time.
Hence, when they arrived at the city gate of Xuanhe Province, it was less than a month later. This was greatly beyond Gu Yundong's expectations.
