Chapter 190: The Youngster, Jiang Xun (1) (1/2)

This child was not very young. He looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, and was actually a youth.

He was shabbily dressed. He was wrapped in a thicker garment, which looked like an old shirt from an adult, and he wore a straw garment outside it.

It was made of straw, and looked somewhat like a raincoat. He wore it over himself to help keep out the cold.

The youngster looked at them with cold suspicion, his expression frosty. But when he saw Gu Qingyao and the others, his expression softened.

Li Fangting called out to him when she saw him. “Elder Brother Jiang Xun!”

Jiang Xun nodded with a grunt. Then he looked at Gu Qingyao and said, “The entire Poplar Brigade lives in terror of Li Aiguo. They won’t dare to take you in. But there’s an abandoned house at the foot of the hill. Why don’t you hide there for a while? There’s no one there.”

Gu Qingyao turned to look at her younger aunt on her back. She knew that she urgently needed to get her younger aunt home to attend to her. There was no point lingering here.

Gu Qingyao said to Jiang Xun, “My younger aunt has had a miscarriage and is still bleeding. It’s no use hiding here. I have to bring her home to treat her. Can you go and get my father and elder brother? I live in the Qing River Brigade. Just follow this road. The brigade at the foot of the mountain is the Qing River Brigade. My family lives halfway up the mountain.”

Jiang Xun looked at the pallid Gu Yunshuang and nodded. “Alright, I’ll run over and get them.”

Gu Qingyao hurriedly thanked him. “Thank you. My father’s name is Gu Yunshen. He’s the doctor there. If you ask for Doctor Gu’s family, everyone there will know where he is. Ask them to bring a small cart. My younger aunt needs to lie down. And bring some blankets too!”

Jiang Xun nodded to show that he understood, then he ran down the road.
