Novel Bin Chapter 415 - Relatives
Chapter 415: Relatives
After returning from the mountains to get firewood, Hu Feng has thoroughly remembered the terrain of the mountain. He also formulated a plan for Xiao Feng to escape from the barracks.
The same night, while everyone was asleep, he sneaked out of the camp and looked around the corner. He took out the charcoal sticks that he had hidden earlier and wrote a few words in the paper.
The next day after they finished their lunch, they were dispatched to cut wood in the mountains again. This time, Hu Feng took Xiao Feng and gave him a bag he secretly packed.
“What is this?” Xiao Feng asked.
Hu Feng dragged him through the forest and said: “There are food and silvers in it. There is also a letter and a map. You go to that place by following the map. As soon as you reach Huangtou Village, you look for Bai Zhi, you’ll be safe in there.”
“But if I just left like this, will it really be okay? Won’t they branded me as a deserter and catch me?” Xiao Feng was worried about this. He was afraid to cause trouble for Prince Jin.
Hu Feng shook his head: “No, I will deal with everything. You don’t have to worry. Go down the mountain and take this path. Don’t follow the official path. If you are questioned by someone, just tell them you are a refugee. Don’t mention things in the barracks. You don’t look someone from the barracks, so things will be fine.”
While speaking, Hu Feng brought him to the place he thinks should be safe yesterday. From this road, although it looked a little steeper, no soldiers were patrolling here. This was the only safe way to get out.
Xiao Feng was hesitating. He has been in this place for so long. Yesterday was the first time he had seen his father. But after seeing him, he has to leave.
“Go now, your father will be fine. You stay in Huangtuo Village and wait for me and your father to come back, alright?”
Xiao Feng nodded his head with teary eyes. He looked back three times before his thin back completely disappeared into Hu Feng’s eyes.

In the Huangtou Village.
Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Bai Zhi got up early in the morning and moved the potatoes they harvested yesterday while waiting for the coachman of the restaurant to pick it up.
The carriage from the restaurant came later than usual. Two people came down from it. One was the guy who came to pick up the goods at ordinary times, the other one was a young boy wearing shabby clothes and has a thin body.
After the young boy got out of the car, he hurriedly took out a piece of broken silver from the bag and handed it to the coachman. The coachman refused: “You don’t need to give me money. You look pretty pitiful, so I brought you along the way. Just hurry and find your relatives.”
Xiao Feng thanked the coachman again and again. He was about to turn around to leave, but she saw a girl coming out of the yard. He boldly stepped forward and asked her: “Young Miss, I want to you ask you something.”
Bai Zhi nodded her head and smiled: “Who do you want to ask?”
Xiao Feng busily asked: “Do you know where Bai Zhi lived?”
When the coachman on the side heard of it, he cheerfully said: “She’s Bai Zhi, is she your relative?”
Xiao Feng was stupefied, as his clear eyes stared at Bai Zhi. She was Bai Zhi? Bai Zhi was a girl? He thought he was a man… …
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “I am Bai Zhi, are you looking for me? Do we know each other?”
Xiao Feng opened his mouth and was about to mention Hu Feng’s name, but remembering the coachman was still around, he smiled and said: “Can we talk to the side?”
When Bai Zhi’s eyes fell to the cloth bag on the young boy’s back, her heart jumped. Isn’t that Hu Feng’s cloth bag? Why is it with him?
“Come with me!” Bai Zhi turned and walked towards Hu Changlin, who was packing dry wood in the yard: “Hu Bo, you can take the money. I have something to talk about with this little brother.”
