Chapter 272: Puzzle

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After sending Doctor Song and the boy back, Gu Yundong passed by the notice board at the city gate and could not help but narrow her eyes.

There were two soldiers standing in front of the notice board. There were notices and decrees posted on it that the officers were announcing to the commoners, but not many people were looking at them.

However, there was a wall not far away that was surrounded by many people.

Gu Yundong did not notice it when she entered the city.

She brought Madam Yang over and asked the people beside her. Only then did she know that this was considered a civilian notice board.

There hadn’t been any in the past. It was announced a few months ago after the new prefecture magistrate took office. Ever since the chaos, many people had been separated from their families. Some people asked about their families’ whereabouts, and some posted all kinds of news on the streets and alleys.

When the new prefecture magistrate arrived, he saw many notices on the wall. He was planning to reorganize the Qing’an Prefecture boldly. The environment on the street was naturally very important.

Later on, someone suggested that everyone stick the notices together. Hence, this wall was filled with all kinds of missing persons notices and random news.

Gu Yundong glanced at the pictures on the wall and sighed again. The pictures drawn by these people were extremely abstract.

Her eyes darted around slightly. She took a charcoal pen and memorized the information on the noticeboard. Then, she brought Madam Yang back.

Gu Yundong wanted to post a missing person notice himself. Even if Gu Dajiang didn’t see it, as long as someone who had seen him provided some clues, she would have a direction to look for the man.

But Gu Yundong had a problem.

Since she was going to put up a missing person notice, she would definitely draw it very realistically. However, the last time she drew someone so realistically, it was a wanted poster.

Although the bandit leader had been caught, God knew if his other lackeys were hiding in the crowd, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

It would be strange if they didn’t look for her when they saw the missing person notice that came from almost the same artist.

Even if she escaped safely, what about Gu Dajiang? Would he become their target?

Therefore, Gu Dajiang’s portrait couldn’t be the only one unique among the missing person notices. That would be too suspicious.

After returning to the inn, Gu Yundong consolidated the information she had copied down, especially the addresses on it.

After packing up, she turned to Madam Yang and said, “Mother, let’s rent a courtyard in tomorrow. I don’t know how long it will take to find Father. It’s inconvenient to stay in an inn all the time.”

Back then, she chose to stay in the inn because this place was next to Huimin Medical Center, so it was convenient for Madam Yang to see a doctor.

Madam Yang was playing with the puzzle, which Gu Yundong had made himself.

After all, although the previous one was also a wooden puzzle, be it the image or the material, it was different from this era.

She coaxed Madam Yang to get her a more difficult one, so she found a thin wooden board and drew two cartoon children on it. Those two children were Yunshu and Yunke. Then, she cut them into many pieces.

Madam Yang liked it very much. Every time she finished the puzzle, she could see the two children. She almost forgot to eat and sleep.

When she heard Gu Yundong’s words, she looked up and smiled. “Okay.” Then she continued.

The next day, Gu Yundong asked Shopkeeper Cao where she could rent a cheap, quiet, and safe house.

On the same day, she contacted the owner and signed a month’s lease before moving in.

At night, when the sky was about to turn dark, Gu Yundong put on her old makeup and left the courtyard..
