Gu Yunshu held her hand. “Big sister, has dad already entered the city?”
“Not quite sure, let’s ask around nearby first.”
Gu Yundong found a spot nearby and sat down with a few people to rest. After a while, when the fatigue had passed, she began to inquire about their father’s whereabouts. She didn’t dare leave Yang Shi and the others alone, so she took them along.
The area around the city gate was crowded with people, making it extremely difficult to find someone.
Especially with many people looking at them as if they were about to pounce and tear them apart, Gu Yundong remained vigilant, always holding onto the dagger.
However, after walking through most of the “refugee area,” they had no luck. Not only did they fail to find their father, but they couldn’t even find a trace of Gu Lao Tou and the others.
Gu Yunko’s stomach was growling with hunger, and she couldn’t hold back any longer. She poked her head out from under the burden, “Big sister, I’m hungry.”
Before Gu Yundong could speak, Gu Yunshu comforted her, “Little sister, we don’t have any food, so we need to find dad quickly. Maybe he has something to eat.”
“Really?” Gu Yunko swallowed, her eyes brightening slightly.
Gu Yunshu nodded firmly. “Yes, so can you bear with it a little longer?”
The conversation between the two was not loud, and the people nearby could hear it clearly.
Gu Yundong was somewhat surprised by Gu Yunko’s response. She patted her brother’s head and whispered, “Good job.”
There were still some snacks left, but with so many eyes watching, taking them out would only lead to them being snatched away.
She was also surprised that her little brother would answer like this.
Gu Yunshu was still a little nervous. He was afraid of saying the wrong thing and lying to his sister, but he didn’t expect his big sister to praise him. He straightened his chest proudly, “I, I understand.”
He had been watching his big sister deal with those with ill intentions all the way, and he actually wanted to help her share the burden, but he was afraid of causing trouble by doing something wrong, so he just watched silently.
Just now, he replied instinctively, but he didn’t expect to be right.
Gu Yunshu felt ecstatic, feeling neither better nor tired.
They continued to inquire about their father’s whereabouts, and he occasionally asked a question.
Unfortunately, even after waiting until it was almost dark, they hadn’t heard any useful clues.
Obviously, their father either hadn’t entered the city yet or wasn’t here at all. The worst result would be that he was gone.
Gu Yunshu’s previous happy expression disappeared, and his mood became gloomy.
And Gu Yundong, beside him, looked equally solemn.
Indeed, something was wrong.
After walking around, he found that many relatively young and strong men were gathering in groups, their eyes shining with a kind of crazy determination.
This phenomenon was very dangerous.
After returning to their resting place, the old man who had been concerned asked, “Any news?”
“Not yet.”
The old man sighed, “It’s hard to find someone in this world. But don’t be discouraged, you’ll find him.”
“Yeah.” Gu Yundong put down Yang Shi’s burden and took a bamboo tube to drink some water. Then, she handed the bamboo tube to Gu Yunshu, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Sir, it seems like it’s not safe here.”
“I know.” The old man smiled bitterly. “With the city gate closed and no one handing out porridge, and with more and more people, everyone has run out of food. People are getting anxious, their lives are almost at an end, how can they not be chaotic?”
Gu Yundong clenched her lips tightly. She also had a premonition that perhaps in the next few days, the refugees would try every means to break into the city gate.
By then, there would be chaos in the city.
