C30 (2/2)

After staying here for two days, Gu Yiqing still hadn't come back. She couldn't help being worried. There were not many people in the house, only two caretakers, but no matter what she asked, they would shake their heads and ask questions.

Gu Jinzhu was worried about the situation outside. After thinking for a while, she changed into an ordinary green dress and wore a large bamboo hat. She then brought the two girls out.

On the streets, as in the past few days, there were fewer refugees. Many of them hurried to the west side of the city, and when she stopped them to ask, she found out that the government had hired people to rebuild the dam and was responsible for two meals a day. Almost all the refugees had gone to register.

”Let's go, miss,” said Bea, looking at her.

Gu Jinzhu hesitated for a moment before nodding. For some reason, she felt that the organization of the reconstruction of the dam must be related to Gu Qingqing. She was worried about his safety, so she couldn't help but want to go take a look.

As they followed along, they saw that a large shed had been set up at the west side of the city. The refugees surrounded the area in a frenzy, waiting to register themselves.

In front of him was a row of wooden tables with soldiers in charge. Gu Jinzhu had only taken two steps forward when she heard someone curse loudly, ”Old man, I already said that I won't take you in here, so hurry up and f * ck off!”

Then, an old man pleaded, ”I beg of you, sir, please. If I can do it, please give me a name. Otherwise, my little granddaughter will starve to death …”

Gu Jinzhu raised her head to look and saw an old man with a head full of white hair constantly begging at the registration office. Beside the old man's legs was a girl, who was about seven to eight years old.

The soldier couldn't wait to get caught, so he reached out his hand and pushed him away, cursing, ”Scram! What can an old bone like you do? Waiting to enter the coffin? ”

Since the government had hired people to repair the dam, they naturally needed to be strong. Seeing that he couldn't bear the hunger, the old man also came to register.

The old man was pushed back by the soldier, and staggered two steps before falling to the ground, causing the little girl to fall down as well.

The surrounding refugees were in an uproar. People came and went in a rush to register, and no one even glanced in their direction.

Gu Jinzhu couldn't help but walk over and help the old man up, and then she helped the little girl up as well. Seeing her tear-stained face, she couldn't help but take out a handkerchief and wipe it clean for her.

The little girl thanked them in a soft voice, causing Gu Jinzhu to feel pity in her heart. She wanted to bring the grandfather and granddaughter pair to a place where they had fewer people, but just as she stood up, a person rushed over from her side and directly bumped into her.

Seeing that Gu Jinzhu was about to fall to the ground, a hand came out from the hole in the ground and held her firmly. A slightly frivolous voice sounded above her head, ”Little girl, be careful.”

Gu Jinzhu raised her head in astonishment, but the bamboo hat fell off. Her beautiful face was like jade, and she instantly caught the eyes of the visitor.

That person exclaimed as he slightly squinted his eyes. A hint of amazement flashed across his eyes.
