Chapter 9
Search for Silver
Gao Feng nodded slightly. It was unknown if he believed her, but he took a few more glances at the crossbow in her hand.
Seeing that she hid it behind her, he tactfully retracted his gaze and said, “Miss, you’re so considerate. These two really deserve to die.”
“Since these two people are already dead, shall we split the things on them equally?” Gu Yundong did not mind taking things from the dead at all, especially in this world.
However, Gao Feng was very disdainful. “I don’t need it. Miss, just take it.”
Gu Yundong was just asking him out of courtesy. It was obvious that this Gao guy did not lack money.
As soon as he agreed, Gu Yundong squatted down and rummaged through the two dead men’s money bags.
Gao Feng turned around and returned to the house. Gu Yundong only paused for a moment before continuing to rummage through the clothes as if nothing had happened.
The two of them really had a lot of things on them. Five taels of silver, a jade pendant, two daggers, three small bags of sleeping pills, and other tools for committing crimes.
Gu Yundong only took the silver and the jade pendant but did not take the dagger. After thinking for a while, she brought the bags of sleeping pills with her.
After plundering, she was about to leave when Gao Feng came out again with a cloth bag in his hand.
“Thank you for your help today, Miss. There are some steamed buns and pancakes here. Please accept them.”
Gu Yundong was stunned and looked at him in surprise.
Then, as she took it, she said, “I’d feel so awkward taking them. Actually, even if I didn’t come, Big Brother’s skills would be more than enough to deal with them.”
The corners of Gao Feng’s mouth twitched. ‘If you weren’t so agile in taking these things, these words would be more convincing.’
“Help me close the courtyard door when you go out.”
“Alright.” Gu Yundong took the things and turned to leave.
She did not ask how the other party would deal with the two corpses, nor did she ask for their names. They had just met by chance on the way to escape, and they would not have the chance to meet again in the future.
Gu Yundong returned to her courtyard. The steamed buns and pancakes in her hand were already cold. She could eat them tomorrow if they were heated up again. She could add more food for everyone.
The three people on were still sleeping in front of the fireplace, but they were curled up into a ball together.
Gu Yundong frowned. It was now the time when the temperature difference between day and night was huge. It was very hot in the day, but at night, the temperature suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees. They only had a thin blanket, so short that it could not even cover Madam Yang’s feet. Even if they pressed all their clothes on top, it was still very cold. It was no wonder that they were shivering in their sleep.
She subconsciously wanted to take out the blanket from her spatial storage, but on second thought, there was someone next door. It was better to be careful.
Therefore, she simply took firewood and lit it at the side. Although the home’s original family no longer had any food, there was a lot of dry firewood piled by the wall of the courtyard, which was convenient for her.
As soon as the fire started, the temperature in the room instantly rose.
Only then did the three of them, who had been curled up in a ball together by the fireplace, feel a little more comfortable. Their brows relaxed, and they slept especially peacefully.
Gu Yundong sat at the side, but her ears were perked up. She did not expect to hear movement outside the door after only an hour.
She stood up with a swish and walked out of the house. She stood again on the sauce jar and looked outside.
She saw a carriage coming from the door. Gao Feng, who was in the courtyard next door, was carrying a young man into the carriage.
Sensing her gaze, Gao Feng raised his head and nodded at her. “We made noise and bothered you.”
“Are you guys leaving?”
“Yes.” After Gao Feng finished speaking, he also crawled into the carriage. With a shake of the reins, the carriage rumbled further and further away under the moonlight.
Gu Yundong only came down from the sauce jar when she could not even see his shadow.
She entered the house and sat for another fifteen minutes before walking to the fireplace and carrying out the little girl sleeping in the middle, Gu Yunke.
