Chapter 29: We've Found the Way! (3/10)

"Can I not be anxious?"

Upon hearing his younger son's calm reply, Old Yuan felt like hitting someone. This whole family journey had used up almost all of their money.

If they couldn't reach Daxia soon and settle down, even having a meal would become a problem.

Adults missing a few meals was one thing, but what about the kids at home!

Alright, the kids could miss a couple of meals too, but what about his precious granddaughter?

"Dad, I've been inquiring about it these past couple of days!"

"So, what did you find out?"

Old Yuan didn't want to hear his son's nonsense; he just wanted to know when they could cross Da Liang Pass.

"Dad, you know, the key to doing things is not to be anxious, especially when it comes to the final moments. Once you get anxious, mistakes happen, leading to failure at the last hurdle."

"You brat, are you teaching your dad how to do things?"

Old Yuan indeed made a move.

Already agitated, he couldn't stand his younger son's ramblings.

Yuan Yindi, having received two kicks, immediately ran outside; he would feel wronged getting beaten by his own father for nothing if he didn't run.

"Mom, help, Dad's being unreasonable!"

Running out of the house, Yuan Yindi shouted, heading straight to where Mrs. Zeng was.

Old Yuan's family had arrived near Da Liang Pass, building a temporary wooden and straw shelter in the woods to avoid attention.

During the day, the family would go into the city of Da Liang Pass to gather information and return here to rest at night.

Of course, relying on this large mountain range, the family could still manage to get by.

The brothers, led by Yuan Pandi who would go hunting in the mountains, never came back empty-handed.

"Dad, Dad!"

Just as Old Yuan was about to chase after Yuan Yindi for a beating, Yuan Wangdi rushed to him like a whirlwind.

"We found the way, we found the way!"

Reaching Old Yuan, Yuan Wangdi lifted his father up and spun him in circles.

The sight of Yuan Wangdi spinning Old Yuan caught the attention of everyone in the Yuan Family who had heard his shout.

The next moment, everyone laughed.

Of course, they couldn't laugh too loudly.

After all, both parties involved had to maintain their dignity.

However, one person laughed quite unabashedly, and that was Yuan Yindi.

"Second Brother, Dad, what are you two up to?"

"Second, let go!"

Upon hearing his younger son's irritating voice, Old Yuan quickly came to his senses and urged Yuan Wangdi to let go.

Yuan Wangdi obediently released his hold immediately.

However, a mishap occurred!

Yuan Wangdi, who let go directly, forgot that his father was being spun around, and as he released his hold, Old Yuan lost his balance and tragically fell to the ground.

"Dad, are you alright?"

Realizing he had accidentally hurt his father, Yuan Wangdi hurriedly stepped forward to help Old Yuan up.

"Scram!"

"You rascal, you're a father yourself now, can't you be a bit more stable?"

"Uh..."

Yuan Wangdi felt wronged; his own dad was the one who told him to let go. He was just following orders, so why was he being blamed?

However, this small mishap didn't cause any additional injuries.

After their laughter, the family quickly began to pack up.

Since they found a path through Da Liang Pass, they had to seize this chance to escape. Staying in the mountains could result in being captured by Great Yin's soldiers at any time.

Although they were once citizens of Great Yin, at this moment, they felt no trace of attachment to this country anymore.
