Gu Yundong was stunned. “What’s wrong?”
Mdm Shen’s expression changed slightly as she glanced outside the carriage curtain.
Gu Yundong was puzzled. She peeked out and was stunned.
Why was this person here?
She let go and sat back down. She looked at Mdm Shen, who was looking uncertain. “What are you going to do?”
However, Mdm Shen took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind. Her eyes lit up slightly, and she became energetic.
“Actually, I’ve been holding a question in my heart for the past few days, Yundong,” she said. “Can I follow you to Xuanhe Prefecture and Yongfu Village?”
Gu Yundong was surprised. “You’re not going home?”
Mdm Shen smiled bitterly. “My parents are gone, and I don’t have any relatives at home. Actually, I’ve been hesitating. I thought that even if I went back, I would be alone. I’ve felt very relaxed and comfortable spending time with you guys these few days. Especially when I heard you introduce Yongfu Village to Yuanzhi, I yearned for it very much.”
She was also a little reluctant to part with those rare friends. After spending a few days together, Gu Yundong, Shao Qingyuan, Ah Mao, and the others were all very clear about her past in the Gu village.
They knew that she had become a concubine to an old man in his late fifties, but no one looked at her strangely, despised her, or distanced themselves from her.
Sometimes, she even felt that she was not clean. When she went back, she might just live a life in a daze, but deep down, she still yearned for a beautiful life.
“I’ve been wondering if I should go home or find another place to start over. Now that I see Gu Wanbao here, I’ve made up my mind.”
That’s right. When she lifted the curtain just now, she saw Gu Wanbao.
No one expected that this person who had escaped from Gu village would actually come to the Shen family’s hometown.
However, looking at his sallow and haggard appearance, it was obvious that he was not doing well.
Gu Yundong smiled. “Since you’ve decided, let’s go.”
No matter what, they had a deep friendship. Gu Yundong was very supportive of her decision.
The carriage changed direction and headed out of town again.
Gu Wanbao, who was squatting in the corner, only had time to squint at the back of the carriage before he sniffled and shrank back.
Madam Shen’s original name was Shen Sitian. Perhaps because the direction in her heart was finally clear, her smile could not help but become much brighter.
The group went out of town. Shen Sitian first went to pay her respects to her parents’ graves and told them about her decision to leave.
Her parents’ burial was arranged by the Gu family, so it was not strange for Gu Wanbao to know that her family was in this town.
After bidding farewell to the Shen parents, the group of people moved much faster.
They had a carriage, a mule cart, and a horse. Gu Yundong still liked to ride horses. Occasionally, when she was bored in the carriage, she would ride Gale, the horse brought by Shao Qingyuan, for a while.
Ah Mao and his companions were extremely envious. There were a few times when they wanted to ask Shao Qingyuan if they could ride it, but they were frightened by his sharp gaze and didn’t dare to say a word.
Other than Gu Yundong, no one else could touch the horse.
The group of people walked steadily. Occasionally, they would encounter people who were in the same direction as them. They kept a distance from each other and only nodded.
Seeing that they were only a few days away from reaching Stinky Egg’s village, Gu Yundong could not help but think of Bian Mulan’s grave.
As she rode her horse, she gradually slowed down and wondered if she should get into the carriage and have a good talk with Yuanzhi about this.
At this moment, two carriages also came from the opposite side of the road. When they met, the horse under Gu Yundong was suddenly shocked. It suddenly roared and ran forward crazily..
