Chapter 298: It’s Called Gale

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Shao Qingyuan still went to the carriage and horse shop to bring back the horse. He had bought this horse before he came. It was specially chosen to be young, strong, and tolerant. It looked very energetic.

Along the way, the horse had interacted with Shao Qingyuan, and the man and horse had actually developed feelings for each other.

He even secretly gave the horse a name, Gale, which was similar to Wind Chaser.

When Gu Yundong heard this name, she was speechless. Why not Storm?

After a night of rest in the carriage shop, the wind became energetic again.

Gu Yundong wanted to give it a try. She let Shao Qingyuan drive the carriage and got on the back of Gale. He ran for a long time before stopping.

The three of them only arrived at Jiangyu County when the sky was about to turn dark.

Jiangyu County was very quiet now, especially at this time, there were almost no people on the streets.

That was true. In that disaster, Jiangyu County had suffered heavy damage and its population had decreased drastically. Although many people had returned, their vitality had decreased greatly and they could not recover for the time being.

Gu Yundong and the others found an inconspicuous inn to stay in. It was rare for a guest to come to this place. The waiter, who was originally lifeless, immediately perked up when he saw them and hurriedly invited them in.

“Sir, are you passing by our Jiangyu County or are you here to look for your relatives? If there’s anything I can help with, just tell me. Although our inn is small, I can guarantee that you’ll be at home. Yes, I can help you find anything.”

Gu Yundong inquired about the situation in Jiangyu County. “This county isn’t very lively, and there aren’t many people on the streets. I saw that most of the shops were closed early. I wanted to buy some food just now, but I didn’t see many shops.”

“Sigh.” The waiter couldn’t help but sigh. As he led their carriage inside, he said, “There’s nothing we can do. When the disaster came, many people left. In addition, many people who didn’t have food at that time were forced to enter the city to snatch things. The owners of the shops in the county were terrified. Look, it’s been a long time. The Imperial Court has also sent officers to help with the disaster, but isn’t everyone used to it? When it was dark, they couldn’t help but close the shops.”

As if afraid of scaring the two of them, the waiter hurriedly said, “But don’t worry, Sir. Our place is stable now. Everyone has planted new food. After the hard days are over, it will get better and better. Don’t think that these shops are closed early as if there’s no one around. It’s still lively during the day.”

“Is that so?” Gu Yundong followed him into the inn and looked at the clean room. She was quite satisfied. When the waiter was about to leave, she asked casually, “By the way, I heard that before the disaster, there was a wonton restaurant called Xingsheng Restaurant in the county. Is this restaurant still open?”

Xingsheng Restaurant was the restaurant where Gu Dajiang used to be the accountant.

The waiter was stunned. “Xingsheng Restaurant? There’s a restaurant there that’s still open, but it doesn’t sell wontons.”

“Then I might have remembered wrongly.” Gu Yundong smiled and did not continue asking.

She didn’t plan to go to the Gu Village directly, so she had to go to that thriving restaurant tomorrow to take a look. She didn’t know if the boss had any news of Gu Dajiang.

However, they did not expect to see a familiar person when they entered Xingsheng Restaurant the next day.

It should be said that Gu Yundong found him familiar. That person was sitting at a table not far from the door, facing it..
