Chapter 046: Detour

Last night, Brothers Gu Damu and Gu Dalin took their turn on the night watch. Once Third Grandpa got up, he had Uncle Tian call them back and told them, "We still don't know the situation in Yongtai Prefecture today, and whether we need to hurry on our way. You guys should get some sleep first, in case we have to rush, you'll have the energy."

Brothers Gu Damu and Gu Dalin acknowledged and took the bamboo tube of water handed over by Gu Qingtian, each took a sip to moisten their throats, then walked into the cave and lay down on their family's pile of dry grass to sleep.

After a while, Third Grandpa's voice came from the entrance of the cave, asking them, "Have you seen Elder Qin and his grandsons? It's already dawn, why haven't they come up yet?"

Gu Jinli grew concerned upon hearing this, worried that the secret of the Qin family trio might be exposed.
