Looking at the surroundings again, Gu Shaoyu felt that this place was most likely where people in the valley washed their clothes, so he decided not to look for it.

He gave the order to Zheng Deli.

"Find two people to bring Aunt Four and the others here. We'll wait nearby first. The forest is so big, it's useless to rush in rashly. Let's wait for the people inside to come out, and then 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 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."

After hearing this, Zheng Deli looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

When I got closer, I saw that 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.

Below the stream, Fourth Aunt and others searched in vain.

Seeing the hope that had just risen fall down, everyone was a little disappointed. Then good news came from Gu Shaoyu, so they hurried over.

They were hiding near the flat ground. Perhaps because of their good luck, they waited until the second day, when someone really came there to wash clothes.

The person who came was a slightly dark-skinned woman, followed by two children. The brother and sister did not look very old, about ten years old. Although their skin was somewhat 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 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 exactly like him?

Fourth Auntie 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.

"Don't worry, Fourth Aunt. Let's quietly follow him and see what happens. If Ninth Brother is really here and has a child with someone else, why doesn't he go back to Cezhou instead of Jinling City?"

These words brought Fourth Aunt back to reality.

That was indeed the case, so there must be something wrong here, so everyone could only squat down and continue waiting.

The woman worked very efficiently and washed a basket of clothes in no time. 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 her. However, they knew with their brains that she must be calling the names of the two children.

The children returned to the woman and obediently followed her back into the woods. Gu Shaoyu and others immediately followed without disturbing the mother and her two children.

After walking west for a while, we saw a village hidden in the cliffs.

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

But the woman was carrying the bamboo basket on her back and holding two children on her left and right. She walked up the mountain as if it were flat ground. Soon she disappeared into the village. If they didn't follow her, they would probably lose her.

Therefore, Gu Shaoyu spoke without hesitation.

"I'll go first. You guys wait here and get ready to climb the ladders and attack at any time!"

"Yes, General."

Fourth Aunt grabbed Gu Shaoyu's hand and gave instructions excitedly and nervously.

"Be careful. If...if Xiaojiu is really in there, you must tell me. Even if I have to crawl, I will crawl over to take a look!"

"Don't worry, Fourth Aunt!"

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

It looks very steep from a distance, 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 into.

Who is inside?

They actually had to hide in such a secluded place, but they had to build a cave like that to connect it to the outside world. With such questions in mind, Gu Shaoyu walked into the village soon after.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

In front of the village gate, there is a huge stone with the words "Yunlong Village" written on it.

The name is quite appropriate. After all, from a distance, this place is indeed shrouded in clouds and mist, as if there is a dragon guarding it.

There were houses scattered on both sides of 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 southwestern barbarians, 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 is understandable why they chose to live in seclusion here. After all, living with the mountains seems to be their habit.

He was good at concealing and hiding, so even though he occasionally saw some people from the village on the road, he did not find any trace of Gu Shaoyu at this moment, so he followed the mother and her two children all the way to the door of a house in the inner village.

The yard is not very big, with three rooms and a side room on each side, which seems to be used as a kitchen and for storing miscellaneous items.

There are some free-range chickens and ducks in the yard, as well as a few not-so-big pigeons.

Gu Shaoyu didn’t know about the other things, but this pigeon was obviously a well-trained carrier pigeon. His heart suddenly tightened, and even his fingers trembled slightly.

Gu Jiu is an expert at this, and the homing pigeons he raises are the best, so most of the time, he is responsible for delivering messages for the Gu family's army. And the appearance of these homing pigeons here, doesn't it prove that he is indeed here?

Gu Shaoyu couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He actually felt a little homesick. He was thinking about how to go in to 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 haggard at his age, that look was deeply rooted in Gu Shaoyu's heart. How could she forget it? She wanted to rush out and ask him why he didn't contact his family when he was still alive, but when she saw the simple wheelchair under him, she was speechless.

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 just sit quietly in that narrow wheelchair, as if all their energy and spirit have been drained away. Even if they are alive, they are just breathing heavily, and have nothing to do with the Gu Jiulang of the past.

Gu Shaoyu tried hard to calm his thoughts and hid quietly in the dark.

After hearing what the woman said to Gu Jiu, Gu Jiu did not answer, but just made a few simple gestures. All of a sudden, Gu Shaoyu felt very depressed.
