The Gu family saw the two sitting by the campfire, talking about who-knew-what as their occasional low chuckles drifted over.
Liu Yun and the others watched with irritation but could only bury their heads and go to sleep. Since they couldn't control it and had no right to speak up, they decided that out of sight was out of mind.
However, their slumber was shattered by a sharp scream from the carriage, making everyone jump up in fright. They looked around. "What happened?"
"Father, the scream came from the carriage," Gu Antong said. She found the voice very familiar but kept that detail to herself.
Xu Yulan had no such reservations. "That was Xu Shuanghong's scream, right? What is she trying to do so early in the morning? Why did she go to the carriage this early?"
Ever since they set up the tarpaulin shelters, everyone preferred sleeping outside because it was warmer closer to the campfire.
