Chapter 17: Have to Leave Here
Chapter 17: Have to Leave Here
"Sir, aren't you leaving?" Gu Yundong had originally planned to think of a way to enter the city, but now it seemed that it would not work.
She might have the ability to protect herself alone, but Gu Yunshu and the other two beside her did not have the ability to protect themselves.
It seemed that she could only wait outside the city gate for two days at most. If there was still no news of Father Gu, she would have to leave.
The old man looked up at the sky. "I want to leave too, but I ran out of food on the way here. Two days ago, I still had porridge to eat. Today… I don't know if my son can find any wild vegetables. If he can't, I can only starve. It doesn't matter. Anyway, that old woman of mine has left already. I'm old and won't live for long. It's not a big deal even if there is chaos."
Only then did Gu Yundong learn that this old man's family had escaped from their hometown. On the way, his wife and daughter-in-law had starved to death in order to save them a mouthful of food. Now, only the old man, his son, and his 16-year-old grandson were left.
Now, his son and grandson were looking for food outside. However, it was already so late and they had yet to return. He did not know if they had found anything.
"Girl, if you can leave, leave. Don't think that so many people here are all just waiting for death. Most of them are looking forward to this chaos. As long as the city is in chaos and the city gate opens, they can enter the city. They might even have food to eat and won't starve to death."
They were at the end of their rope. Even if they knew that this was a matter of possibly losing their heads, they still wanted to give it a try.
Gu Yundong fell silent. After a while, she led Madam Yang and the other two to the side and sat down.
After a while, she turned her head and met Gu Yunshu's puzzled gaze. She said softly, "Yunshu, let's wait another day. Regardless of whether we hear from Father or not, we have to leave then."
"… Is it because a fight is about to break out here?" He had heard the old man's words.
"That's right."
Gu Yunshu lowered his head with a lonely expression. He wiped his eyes fiercely with the back of his hand.
After a while, he said in a choked voice, "I'll listen to Big Sister."
"You're a good boy."
"I know we're still young and can't run fast. If we fight, we'll drag Eldest Sister down. Then, let's wait until there's no more fighting here before looking for Father, okay?"
Gu Yunshu was really very sensible. Gu Yundong had actually seen many brats before. For example, Fu Lanzhi was a few years older than Gu Yunshu, but she had a bad personality.
Gu Yundong felt really awkward about such a sensible and obedient child. She felt like spoiling him.
This kind of emotion had never happened before to her, but during this period of time, after interacting with the Gu siblings, it often appeared and occupied her heart.
These two children were growing on her.
Gu Yundong took a deep breath and nodded. "Alright, I promise you."
Gu Yunshu tried his best to smile. "I'll grow up quickly."
"Eldest Sister." Gu Yunke was still young. She felt that Eldest Sister and Second Brother's explanation was too complicated. She did not understand. She only tilted her head and asked curiously, "You're not looking for Father anymore? But Keke's stomach is so hungry."
Didn't they say that they could eat after finding their father?
Gu Yundong pinched her tender face. This little thing was a little foodie. She could eat anything that was given to her.
In her dreams at night, the content was all about food.
It was also strange. In the past, when she was at the Gu family, Madam Zhao had never given her a full meal. How could she hold back and not say anything?
Gu Yundong took another bamboo tube at the side, opened the lid, and brought it to Gu Yunke's mouth. Half of her body blocked others' vision. "If you're hungry, drink some water. Tomorrow, Eldest Sister will think of a way to find food. Say ahh."
Although she called it water, it was actually porridge in the bamboo tube. There were not many rice grains, but at least it could fill one's stomach.
She added white sugar to the porridge, and the little girl immediately smiled after drinking it.
