MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Looking at the surroundings, Gu Shaoyu felt that this was probably a place where people in the valley washed their hands, so he stopped looking.

 He ordered Zheng Deli.

“Let’s find two people to bring the fourth aunt and the others over. Let’s squat nearby first. The forest is so big that it’s useless to rush in. We’ll just wait for the people inside to come out, and we’ll follow them.”

Zheng Deli was a little surprised and asked immediately.

 “How did the general know that people from the valley would come here?”

"Stone."

Gu Shaoyu then pointed his finger and explained.

“The stones here range from big to small, and the ones close to the forest are very sharp, but these big ones are rounded. There are also honey locust nuts nearby. You can tell at a glance that someone must have used them here.”

Zheng Deli looked like he was suddenly enlightened after hearing this.

When I took a closer look, it was indeed the case.

So they immediately sent people to look for Ni Yang and the others, while the rest found a place to hide and wait for the people in the valley to appear.

 Beneath the stream, the fourth aunt and others searched to no avail.

Seeing that the hopes that had just been raised fell down, everyone was a little disappointed. As a result, good news came from Gu Shaoyu, so he hurriedly followed him.

They squatted near the flat ground. It was probably because of their good luck that they stayed there until the second day, when someone actually came here to wash clothes.

The person who came was a slightly dark woman, followed by two children. The two children looked relatively young, about ten years old. Although their skin was a little dark like the woman's, their eyes were very bright. , very smart at first glance.

Gu Shaoyu, who was hiding in the woods, saw the two children at a glance, and the same fourth aunt also saw them.

A feeling of familiarity rushed over immediately. The two of them looked at each other and seemed to see Jiulang Gu from the past. Wasn't this the same mold of him?

 The fourth aunt was very excited, so the two people in front of her were her grandchildren? !

With this thought, she wanted to rush over immediately and take a closer look, but she was held down by Gu Shaoyu, who whispered something in her ear.

"Fourth aunt, don't worry, let's follow quietly and see what's going on. If the ninth brother is really here and has a child with someone else, why not go back to Cezhou or Jinling City?"

These words brought the fourth aunt back to reality.

It was indeed like this, so there must be something wrong here, so everyone could only squat down and continue to wait.

The woman worked very quickly, and a basket of clothes was washed in a short time. The two were having fun on the shore when they heard the woman shout.

 “Nianjin, Nianling, come home.”

The tone of her voice was different from that of Cezhou people, so no one present could understand her. Just think about it and know that she must be calling the names of the two children.

The children returned to the woman, and the obedient ones followed them into the forest again. Gu Shaoyu and others followed immediately, without disturbing the mother and son.

After walking west for a short while, I saw a village hidden in a cliff.

Looking at it from a distance, it looks like it is hanging on the cliff. It is very steep. Not to mention the guards, even Gu Shaoyu may not be able to climb over it.

But the woman carried the bamboo basket on her back and held two children on her left and right. She walked up as if walking on flat ground and disappeared into the village after a while. If she didn't follow her, I'm afraid they would follow her. lost. Therefore, Gu Shaoyu said decisively.

"I'll go first, you guys wait here, be ready to climb the ladder and attack at any time!"

 “Yes, General.”

The fourth aunt grabbed Gu Shaoyu's hand and gave instructions excitedly and nervously.

"Be careful. If...if Xiaojiu is really inside, you must tell me. Even if you crawl, I will climb over and have a look!"

“Fourth Aunt, don’t worry!”

 After saying that, Gu Shaoyu quickly ran towards the cliff.

From a distance, it looks very steep, but when you get closer, you can find that there is actually a path along the rock wall. Although it is not wide, it is not difficult to walk in.

 Who are the people inside?

He had to hide in such a secluded place, but he also had to build such a cave to connect with the outside world. With such doubts, Gu Shaoyu walked into the village soon.

In front of the village gate, there is a huge stone with the words: Yunlong Village.

This name is very suitable. After all, from a distance, it looks like it is shrouded in clouds and mist, as if it is guarded by a spiritual dragon.

In the village, there are some houses scattered around, and in front of every house there are medicine packets for warding off evil spirits and repelling insects. This is common in the southwestern Yi land, but Gu Shaoyu has never heard of such a habit in Cezhou, so he There is speculation.

If the people here really migrated from the southwest, it would make sense why they would live in seclusion here. After all, it seems to be their habit to be with the mountains.

He was good at concealment and hiding, so even if he occasionally saw some people from the village on the road, there was no trace of Gu Shaoyu at this moment. Therefore, he followed the mother and son all the way to a relatively small area. In front of every house.

The yard is not big, there are three rooms, and there are two end rooms on the left and right, which seem to be used for kitchen and storage of sundries.

There are some free-range chickens and ducks in the yard, as well as a few small pigeons.

 Gu Shaoyu didn't know anything else, but at first glance, this pigeon looked like a well-trained homing pigeon, and his heart suddenly tightened, and even his fingers trembled slightly.

Gu Jiu is a person who is good at this, and the carrier pigeons he handles are the best. Therefore, he is often responsible for the transmission of Gu Jiajun's news. And the appearance of these carrier pigeons here is more evidence of his Is it really here?

 couldn't help but swallowed. Gu Shaoyu felt a little more timid about his hometown. He was just thinking about how to go in to meet him, when he saw a familiar face appearing behind the door.

 It was Gu Jiulang that they were longing for!

Although he looks much thinner and more vicissitudes of life in his age, that appearance is deeply rooted in Gu Shaoyu's heart. How can he forget it?

I wanted to rush out and ask him why he didn't contact his family even though he was still alive, but after seeing the simple wheelchair under him, he was speechless.

Once upon a time, Hachiro and Jiulang of the Gu family were the two tallest and strongest major generals in the family, but now they are sitting quietly behind the narrow wheelchair, and their whole body seems to have been drained of energy, even if they are Living, he is just a panting person, and has nothing to do with the Gu Jiulang back then.

Gu Shaoyu tried his best to calm down what he was thinking and quietly hid in the dark.

After hearing what the woman said to Gu Jiu, Gu Jiu did not reply, but just made a few simple gestures. Suddenly, Gu Shaoyu's heart sank.
