Chapter 31: What Does He Look Like?
Perhaps it was because there were too few people around her, so she especially liked to talk to children. Others suggested that she adopt a child, but she did not agree. She said that she felt free living alone.
The house in front of them was not big. Aunt Ke lived in one room herself, so the west wing was given to them for the time being. The central room in the middle was quite big, and there was a kitchen next to the west wing. The outhouse was at the back of the storeroom, and there was a small well in the courtyard. It was quite convenient.
At this moment, Auntie Ke pointed at the well and instructed Madam Yang, "Get water yourself. Be careful. Don\'t fill my courtyard with water. The kitchen is over there, and the bucket is inside. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go."
Madam Yang couldn\'t help but hold the two children\'s hands and take a step back. She didn\'t know Auntie Ke and only felt that the other party spoke very quickly. It was difficult for her to even understand, so how could she move?
Just as she was at a loss as to whether to run away, she saw Gu Yundong enter.
Madam Yang hurriedly ran behind her and pointed at Auntie Ke. "Dongdong, she talks a lot."
Gu Yundong squeezed her hand comfortingly and said in a low voice, "Mother, she\'s Aunt Ke. We\'ll stay at her house for the time being. She won\'t hurt us. Get water first and wipe Ah Shu and Keke\'s bodies. After washing them, we can sleep on a soft bed. We don\'t have to travel anymore."
"We don\'t have to travel anymore?" Madam Yang couldn\'t help but be happy.
Gu Yundong nodded at her and watched as Madam Yang excitedly ran to fetch water. Then, she walked to Aunt Ke, who had been sizing her up. "Aunt Ke, my name is Gu Yundong. This is three taels of silver. I might have to trouble you for the next period of time. My mother\'s situation is special. If you talk to her too much at once, she will panic. Please don\'t mind."
Aunt Ke was a little surprised. From her words and actions, she did not have the timidity of a country girl at all. She seemed to have seen the world.
She took the silver and nodded slightly. "You look like a reasonable person. Not bad. As long as your mother can work and take good care of you, and I don\'t have to do anything, that will be fine. What about you…"
Nie Cong was a little anxious and could not help but interrupt her. "Aunt, I still have something that I need Miss Gu\'s help with. Please take care of her family first. I\'ll buy you a hibiscus cake later."
"Rascal, hurry up and leave." He must have been annoyed with her for talking too much.
Nie Cong smiled. Seeing that Gu Yundong had finished talking to Gu Yunshu, he quickly brought her away.
He first brought Gu Yundong to the teahouse. Gu Yundong was still wearing the clothes she had worn on the escape route. Her face was also dirty. Without him, the teahouse would not let her in.
After asking her to wait in the private room, Nie Cong went to the government office and called over a soldier who had seen the bandits.
When he returned, he also brought a whole set of brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Gu Yundong only took the paper and asked the waiter from the teahouse for a charcoal pen.
Nie Cong did not understand and tried his best to ask tactfully, "Are you not used to using a brush?" How could he forget that a country girl had definitely never studied?
Gu Yundong could not help but roll her eyes. "Alright, tell me what the bandit looks like first. Tell me about his eyes, nose, mouth, and face. Try to be as detailed as possible."
