Chapter 1527: Child?
Editor: Henyee Translations
Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong were both sensitive people. Their eyebrows could not help but twitch when they noticed his obvious gaze.
Then, they turned around at the same time and looked in the direction of the gaze.
The other party did not seem to expect them to turn their heads. Their gazes met so casually, and her face was instantly filled with shock.
In the next moment, her eyes filled with panic. She turned around and stumbled away.
A trace of surprise flashed across Gu Yundong’s face. Looking at the figure that had already run far away, she looked at Shao Qingyuan in a daze. "Is that... a child?"
The short and small figure looked to be only seven or eight years old.
The girl was very thin. Her entire face was so thin that it was out of shape, so her eyes were especially big. When she stared at someone, she looked inexplicably terrifying.
"I don’t think we know anyone here. Why does she seem to hate us?"
"Maybe she hates... the Gu family," Shao Qingyuan glanced at the Gu family’s door and replied faintly.
Gu Yundong nodded. "Why don’t we follow her and take a look?"
The two of them had the same opinion and immediately chased after her.
When the girl saw them following, she immediately quickened her pace.
She was very familiar with this place and disappeared after a while.
Gu Yundong was speechless. She did not follow him?
The two of them looked at each other and searched the vicinity. After a long time, they could not find anything. In the end, they could only give up.
"Forget it, let’s go back."
They walked back again, but when they passed by the entrance of the Gu family, they saw the woman from before—the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family, Mrs. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang didn’t see them and quickly entered the Gu family’s courtyard.
Gu Yundong originally wanted to ask her a few questions, but seeing that she had entered, she could only give up.
They left the village entrance and got into the carriage parked there.
They were not going back to the inn for the time being. After all, they still had to come back at night when Gu Jingyuan returned. This round trip would take two hours. They had wasted their time on the road.
Gu Yundong planned to walk around the vicinity. If he could go to the mountain that Gu Yiping mentioned, he might be able to see Gu Jingyuan and his wife in advance.
There were rations in the car. They had already prepared them before they came.
He had never thought of having lunch in the Gu family. After all, this was the first time they had met. Moreover, the Gu family was really poor now. They probably could not entertain guests.
After eating something to fill his stomach, Shao Qingyuan drove the carriage around the area and asked about the Gu family.
Neither of them knew that just as they left, the Gu family’s courtyard door was opened again.
Madam Jiang, who had entered previously, came out again, but Madam Gu, Madam Song, also came out with her.
Madam Song smiled. She was probably in a good mood because she had just eaten something good.
She was still holding the dried persimmons that Gu Yundong had sent over from the capital. As she ate, she greeted the villagers.
Previously, when Gu Yundong and the others came, most of the people in the village had seen it. Everyone was guessing that the Gu family might have come to an end and left Linxun Island.
Now that they saw Madam Song like this, they were even more certain of their guess.
Someone couldn’t help but step forward and ask, "Sister-in-law Song, look at how happy you are. Something good has happened, right?"
Madam Song smiled and looked around. She raised her voice and said, "It’s not a good thing. It’s just that a friend in the capital asked someone to visit us and give us something. I didn’t expect that so many years have passed, and there are still nobles who still remember us."
