Feng Ao Kuai returned after a while. He noticed that Nan Luo was looking at him with a worried expression.
"What is it, Luo?"
"Well, I'm thinking about Grandfather. Didn't he want to stay low? If we do this, would we be pushed to the limelight?" Nan Luo asked.
Feng Ao Kuai looked at Nan Luo as if he was looking at an idiot. "There's a village at a day's time distance. Even if we share our food, it wouldn't affect too much. Besides, Young Commander Long also brought food with him and share it."
"Really?"
"What you're worried about wouldn't happen. There are not many people who survived here and at most only 100 people. Even if they spread the tales, it would end up disappearing as soon as it appears." Feng Ao Kuai had calculated and knew that it wouldn't make a huge impact.
It would be a different story if Nan Hua were to give their food for thousands of people because that tale would be spread. But they already came with dozens of soldiers. It was not too much for them to share some food since it was not too many.
Besides, they only took care of the people for a day's time since they would be handled by the villagers later.
"Then, why did Hua'er?" Nan Luo furrowed his eyebrows.
"It'll still give us good impression on them. At the very least, these people will think more about Nan Family." Feng Ao Kuai shrugged. He didn't know why Nan Hua suddenly gave that order. Not to mention, her voice was not low.
Did she want to establish a good image for herself? But it was a bit too early and it was quite useless. After all, this place was a distance away from the Capital City and it was unlikely that the villagers would come to the Capital City.
Thus, Feng Ao Kuai was not sure.
They didn't speak anymore and waited for Old Master Nan to finish. Nan Si Qiao was also helping out, so she only visited the children when it was nighttime.
"You all did good." Nan Si Qiao patted her sons' head. "I heard from the villagers that you asked the servants to give foods."
"That's Hua'er," Nan Luo chirped from the side.
Feng Ao Kuai looked at his mother. "How about water, Mother?"
"There's a well that's not buried so there's more than enough water for them. It's just a distance away, so there's a group of soldiers whose task is to collect water."
"I see."
"Is there nothing else you want to ask?" Nan Si Qiao's lips twitched when she saw how nonchalant Feng Ao Kuai looked like. For some reasons, she began to wonder how in the world did she manage to give birth to such a smart and mature boy.
Feng Ao Kuai shook his head and focused on drinking the tea in front of him.
They ate and then rested for the night. Since the number of tents decreased, Nan Luo had to stuff together with Feng Ao Si and Feng Ao Kuai. Nan Si Qiao also stayed in the carriage along with Nan Hua.
In the middle of the night, Nan Hua slipped out of the carriage without anyone noticing. She settled to stay near some of the villagers who were still awake.
Swish!
"It's cold."
