The mediocre-sized carriage was packed with three adults and four children. Now and then, someone could stretch their limbs, but most of the time, everyone consciously sat curled up.

Everyone except for Qiao Wenjuan. She dominated the entire back of the carriage by herself and sat comfortably. She would also flip open the curtain of the window to look outside frequently, joyful calls coming out of her mouth. “Look! We haven’t seen any of those monsters this whole journey, and the hillside is covered with lush green gra.s.s and fragrant flowers. I am certain that Xiangyang Town ¹ ahead of us is fine.”

After the torment of this journey, Elderly Lady was already nodding off but was startled awake by Qiao Wenjuan’s fl.u.s.tering scream, and shock entered her face.

No one paid attention to her in the carriage. Qiao Mu was rendered speechless by this “extremely naive” aunt of hers.

Could it be that she was not fleeing for her life and was on a field trip instead? Her ignorant and cheerful persona was truly dumbfounding.

Qiao Wenjuan put down the curtain and looked at everyone, her curving brows knitted together, and she took a big sniff. “What’s that smell?”

“Auntie! Your body! Stinky!” Xiao Lin’er, who was curled up in her mother’s arms, had a deep frown on her face and was furiously fanning her chubby hand. She had nicely answered Qiao Wenjuan’s question.

Joy entered Qiao Mu’s heart, and she maintained her composure as she looked at Qiao Wenjuan, whose face had turned into the color of a pig’s liver.

After all, it was July and nearly noon, so the weather was a bit stuffy. Also, the rain shower earlier did not bring a fresh feeling to them and made people feel blistering hot afterward instead.

Moreover, the air inside the carriage was quite stagnant, and the carriage was packed with people, so they did not detect it earlier, but the smell became prominent after sitting for a while and the heat.

Qiao Wenjuan and Elderly Lady Qiao had rolled around in the wet ground previously and were also ‘visited’ by zombies, so the smell on them could not be any good. Xiao Lin’er’s honest words were quite comical though.

Qiao Mu inwardly clapped for her sister and sent a look to Shaoyao with her eyes.
