Very Strange

Just as Gu Yundong was about to be disappointed, she heard him say, "Although I don't know if my father went to the capital, he was indeed in the prefectural city."

He scratched his head and tried his best to recall what had happened decades ago.

"My mother told us that my father was a peddler before he got married. He went to the prefectural city for business. After he got married, he stopped being a peddler. However, he would go out to look for work when he had spare time, but he didn't look for work in the county city like the villagers. He almost always went to the prefectural city, so he wouldn't be at home for two to three months. As for whether he went to the capital, even my mother didn't know."

He would not be home for two to three months? If he rode a horse faster, it was not impossible for him to make a trip to the capital and come back.

"Then, was he not at home before he carried Brother Shao back?"
