Chapter 9: Searching for money

Gao Feng nodded slightly, not sure if he believed her words, but took a second look at the crossbow in her hand.

   Seeing that she hid behind her, he looked away tactfully and said, "This girl is right, these two people really deserved to die."

   "Then, since these two people are already dead, we each have half of what they have on them?" Gu Yundong didn't mind taking things from dead people at all, especially in this world.

   But Gao Feng was very disgusted, "I don't need it, the girl can just take it."

  Gu Yundong asked him intentionally, and the surnamed Gao did not look short off money at first glance.

   As soon as he agreed, Gu Yundong squatted down and rummaged through the money bag on the two of them.

   Gao Feng turned his head and went back to the house, Gu Yundong's movements paused for a while before she continued to rummaged through the money bags, as if nothing had happened.

   These two people had a lot of things on them, five taels of silver, a jade pendant, two daggers, and three small packets of fever medicine.

  Gu Yundong only took the silver and the jade pendant, not the dagger. After thinking about it, she took the packs of fever medicine with her.

Just as she was about to leave after searching, Gao Feng came out again with a cloth bag in his hand.

   "Thank you for your help today Miss. Here are some steamed buns, please accept them."

  Gu Yundong was stunned for a moment, and gave him a surprised look.

   Then she took it and said , "How embarassing, actually, even if I did not come, Elder brother's skills are more than enough to deal with them."

  The corner of Gao Feng's mouth twitched.

   "Help me close the courtyard gate when you go out."

   "Okay." Gu Yundong took the things, turned around and left quickly.

   She didn't ask how they would handle the two corpses, and she didn't ask for his name. It was just a chance encounter on the road to escape, and there would be no chance to meet again in the future.

  When Gu Yundong returned to her small courtyard. The steamed buns and pancakes in her hand were already cold.

They could only be eaten when they were reheated tomorrow, so they could add extra meals for them.

  The three people on the kang were still sleeping, but they were curled up in a ball close to each other.

   Gu Yundong frowned, now it was the period when the temperature difference between day and night was very large. It was very hot during the day, but at night the temperature would drop by more than ten degrees, and they only had a thin quilt, which could not even cover Yang's feet. Even if they put on all their clothes, it was still very cold.

No wonder they were shivering in their sleep.

   She subconsciously wanted to take out a quilt from her own space, but then she thought of the someone next door, so she had better be more cautious.

   So he simply took firewood and lit it next to the bed. Although the family had run out of food, there was a lot of dry firewood piled up on the courtyard wall, which was convenient for her.

   As soon as the fire started, the temperature in the room rose instantly.

   The three people who were originally huddled together on the kang felt more comfortable, their brows relaxed, and they slept peacefully and soundly.

  Gu Yundong sat next to them, with her ears pricked up. Unexpectedly, only half an hour passed when there was movement outside the door.

  She stood up and walked out of the house, still standing on the sauce jar and looking out.

   She saw a carriage approaching the door, and Gao Feng in the yard next door was carrying a boy into the carriage.

   Aware of her gaze, Gao Feng raised his head and nodded to her.

   "Are you leaving?"

   "Yes." After Gao Feng finished speaking, he got in, shook the reins , and the carriage rumbled farther and farther under the moonlight.

   Gu Yundong did not get down from the sauce jar until she could not even see a shadow.

   She entered the room and sat for another quarter of an hour, then walked to the edge of the kang, and carried out Gu Yunke who was sleeping in the middle.
