Chapter 630 Yunlong Village
Looking at the surroundings, Gu Shaoyu thought that this place might be where the people in the valley washed their clothes, so he decided not to look for it.
He told Zheng Deli.
"Find two people to bring Aunt Four and the others here. We will wait nearby first. The forest is so big that it is useless to rush in. When the people inside come out, we will follow them."
Zheng Deli was a little surprised and asked immediately.
"How did the general know that the people in the valley would come here?"
"Stones."
Gu Shaoyu then pointed and explained.
"The stones here are big and small. The ones near the forest are very sharp, but these big ones are round. There are also soapberries nearby. You can tell at a glance that someone must have used them here."
Zheng Deli looked as if he had suddenly realized something after hearing this.
When he got closer, it was indeed the case.
So he immediately sent people to look for Ni Yang and the others, and the rest found a place to hide and wait for the people in the valley to appear.
Below the stream, Aunt Four and the others searched hard but to no avail.
Seeing the hope that had just risen fall, everyone was a little disappointed. As a result, good news came from Gu Shaoyu, so they hurried over.
They stayed near the flat land. Perhaps because of their good luck, they waited until the second day, and someone really came here to wash clothes.
The person who came was a slightly dark woman, followed by two children. The siblings did not look old, about ten years old. Although their skin was a little dark like the woman, their eyes were very bright, and they looked very smart.
Gu Shaoyu, who was hiding in the woods, saw the two children at a glance, and the fourth aunt also saw them.
A sense of familiarity immediately rushed up, and the two looked at each other, as if they saw the former Gu Jia Jiulang. Wasn't this a copy of him?
The fourth aunt was very excited, so the two people in front of her were her grandchildren? !
With this idea, she wanted to rush over immediately and take a closer look, but she was held down by Gu Shaoyu, who whispered in her ear.
"Don't worry, auntie, 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 doesn't he go back to Cezhou or Jinling City?"
These words brought auntie back to reality.
That's right, so there must be something wrong here, so everyone could only squat down and wait.
The woman worked very quickly, and a basket of clothes was washed in a short while. The two were having fun on the shore when they heard the woman shout.
"Nianjin, Nianling, go home."
The tone of her voice was different from that of the people in Cezhou, so no one present could understand it, but they knew with their brains that she must be calling the names of the two children.
The children returned to the woman and followed her into the forest obediently. Gu Shaoyu and others followed immediately, but they did not alarm the mother and her children.
After walking west for a while, they saw a village hidden in the cliff.
From a distance, it seemed to be hanging on the cliff, very steep, let alone the guards, even Gu Shaoyu might not be able to climb over it.
But the woman carried the bamboo basket on her back and held the two children on both sides. She walked up as if walking on flat ground, and disappeared in the village soon. If they didn't follow, they would probably lose her.
Therefore, Gu Shaoyu made a prompt decision.
"I'll go first, you wait here, get ready to climb the ladder, and attack at any time!"
"Yes, General."
Fourth Aunt grabbed Gu Shaoyu's hand and said excitedly and nervously.
"Be careful, if...if Xiaojiu is really in there, you must tell me, even if I have to climb, I will climb over to take a look!"
"Don't worry, Aunt Four!"
After 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 small path along the rock wall. Although it is not wide, it is not difficult to walk in.
Who is inside?
To hide in such a secluded place, but to build such a cave to connect to the outside world, with such questions, 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 is indeed surrounded by clouds and mist, as if there is a spirit dragon guarding it.
There were houses on the left and right in the village, and medicine bags for warding off evil spirits and repelling insects were hung in front of the doors of every household. This was common in the Southwest Yi area, but Gu Shaoyu had never heard of such a custom in Cezhou, so he made a guess.
If the people here really migrated from the southwest, it would be understandable why they wanted to live in seclusion here. After all, living with the mountains seemed to be their habit.
He was good at hiding and hiding, so even if he occasionally saw some people in the village on the road, he did not find Gu Shaoyu's trace at this moment, so he followed the mother and her two children all the way to the door of a house in the back.
The yard was not big, with three houses, and a side room on each side, which seemed to be used as a kitchen and storage of sundries.
There were some free-range chickens and ducks in the yard, and there were also a few not-so-big pigeons.
Gu Shaoyu didn't know anything else, but this pigeon was a well-trained carrier pigeon at first glance, and his heart tightened all of a sudden, and even his fingers trembled slightly.
Gu Jiu is a man who is good at this. He raises the best pigeons. So he is often responsible for delivering the news of the Gu family army. The appearance of these pigeons here proves that he is indeed here.
Gu Shaoyu swallowed his saliva and felt a little more homesick. He was thinking about how to go in and meet him, but he saw a familiar face behind the door.
It was the Gu Jiulang they had been thinking about!
Although he looked thin and vicissitudes of life, that look was rooted in Gu Shaoyu's heart. How could he forget it?
He wanted to rush out and ask him why he didn't contact his family when he was still alive, but he was speechless after seeing the simple wheelchair under him.
Once upon a time, Balang and Jiulang of the Gu family were the two tallest and strongest major generals in the family, but now they are quietly nestled in the narrow wheelchair, as if their spirit has been drained away. Even if they are alive, they are just breathing, and have nothing to do with Gu Jiulang back then.
Gu Shaoyu tried to calm down his thoughts and quietly hid in the dark.
After hearing what the woman said to Gu Jiu, Gu Jiu did not answer, but just made a few simple gestures. Suddenly, Gu Shaoyu's heart sank.
