My Stepmother is Soft and Charming

Ni Yang looked at Li Zhu in embarrassment, as if saying with his eyes, please take care of the old lady.

However, Li Zhu glared back, his meaning was very clear, just do as the old lady said!

The two were in a stalemate, and suddenly they heard someone shouting in front of them.

General, there is something discovered here!

These words made the fourth aunt and others jump up in surprise. Without saying anything, they immediately ran there.

When they waited, Gu Shaoyu was still standing there. He squatted on the ground and looked carefully. There were strips of cloth on his clothes and a broken token that had been half buried for a long time. He only nodded slightly and asked for it. If the soldier hadn't been sharp-eyed, they wouldn't have been able to see it even if they were passing by.

Everyone was surprised that things from more than 20 years ago could still be found here.

dig.

Yes, General.

The few people picked up the shovels they carried with them and started digging around the token. They thought there might be corpses here. Unexpectedly, after digging for a long time, only half of the token and the cloth of the clothes were found. The strips fell apart with a gentle pinch, like mud.

After taking the token, Ni Yang rinsed it carefully.

I could vaguely see half of the word Ling on it, and the word was surrounded by a circle of auspicious cloud patterns. When I saw this, not to mention Gu Shaoyu, but also the fourth aunt next to me. Then he became surprised.

This is the moiré token used by your fourth uncle and the others!

Each of the four sons of the Gu family controls a team in the army, which is distinguished by the patterns of wind, thunder, fire, and clouds. The fourth master of the Gu family uses cloud pattern tokens.

Therefore, the fourth aunt's heart suddenly became high, she grabbed Gu Shaoyu's hand and said.

Could it be that your fourth uncle's people escaped? This thing must have been left behind by them!

Gu Shaoyu nodded and felt that this possibility was very high.

So I jumped onto the strongest tree with all my strength, and then squatted on it and took a closer look. Unfortunately, more than twenty years later, even if there were any traces left, I couldn't find them.

So I could only jump down and give instructions to Ni Yang.

Send a signal to inform Zheng Deli and others to come in. Center here, search within a radius of 100 meters, and don't miss any trace!

Yes, General.

With the central point, they naturally won't be looking around like the headless flies they were when they first arrived, so their speed is much faster.

By the time Zheng Deli and the others found a seat and rushed over after dark, Gu Shaoyu and the others had already searched for many routes, but unfortunately, they had gained nothing.

General, let's take everyone to rest first. Lao Zheng is here to come!

Your heart is thicker than an axe, how can you find it?

Ni Yang retorted, but was retorted by Zheng Deli.

I am careless, but this is related to the death of the old marshal and the others. How dare I deal with it carelessly? Don't worry, leave it to us. We are waiting for you outside, and we are almost growing hairy!

If you don't deal with it in three sentences, you just do it.

Gu Shaoyu looked around and knew that the guards who followed him in were still a little tired, so he gave the order.

Find a nearby cave to stay. Let's take a rest today and continue tomorrow.

Yes, General.

Therefore, Ni Yang led the team to find the cave and arranged for everyone to rest. Zheng Deli continued digging along the places they had just searched and from a different angle.

【new】

He usually seems to be a very careless person, but when he found something today, he wished he had four pairs of eyes to stare at it everywhere.

It was dark, so searching by torch would be much slower.

Gu Shaoyu originally thought of asking Zheng Deli to collect the team and search for it tomorrow, but his efforts paid off, and his fourth aunt actually saw an inexplicably bright place, so she took a closer look and pulled it out.

As a result, the fourth aunt was stunned on the spot.

Li Zhu thought she was possessed by evil spirits, so she quickly reached out to pat the thing away, but her fourth aunt suddenly screamed.

This is Jiulang's thing. I bought two luminous jade pendants from a merchant in the Western Regions, so I gave them to the two brothers. Xiaojiu's piece is slightly defective. There is a small hole in the middle. This piece It’s his, it’s his! Could it be that he didn’t die, but came to this forest? But...but I did collect his body!!

The fourth aunt was so excited that she almost fainted.

Li Zhu couldn't help but worry when she saw this, so she hurriedly squatted down and said while supporting her.

Master, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, there may be some other turning point. Let's look for it slowly and we will definitely find it!

Yes, yes, Xiaojiu is still waiting for me, my son, my son!

The fourth aunt called her over and over again, and the sadness in her voice brought everyone back to the time when so many men from the Gu family died for their country. You can imagine how brilliant it was.

Gu Shaoyu's survival was entirely due to the desperate efforts of his third uncle and fourth uncle.

So now that he heard that his Gu family brother might still be alive in this world, he was not calm at all.

He walked over and took the luminous jade pendant and looked at it carefully. Indeed, he had seen this thing on Hachiro and Kuro.

Gu Sanlang, who had the best relationship with him at that time, even joked that his brothers were carrying this thing like a lantern. When they went to the battlefield in the future, they would be discovered by the enemy and asked to wrap it up in cloth. .

As a result, the two brothers were naturally unhappy.

So Gu Shaoyu suggested that they sew it on the chest of the inner garment so that it would not be lost or discovered by the enemy.

Could it be possible that this thing saved his life?

Gu Shaoyu certainly wants to think about the good things at this moment. The jade pendant is here, so Jiulang must have been here anyway, but if he is alive, why doesn't he look back home?

So most likely it’s because I can’t go back.

Therefore, he was either seriously injured and unable to walk, or he was already gone.

This feeling of losing and regaining, gaining and losing again, was uncomfortable for him to experience. Wouldn't it be even more painful for his fourth aunt?

Fourth Aunt, this thing does belong to Ninth Brother, but more than twenty years have passed, you still have to be mentally prepared. He... may not still be alive.

Two lines of tears fell down the fourth aunt's face. How could she not know that the possibility of her son surviving was very low?

But right now, she had to find even a tiny possibility that was as big as a hair!

So, he gritted his teeth and said.

Look, even if all I find is a pile of bones, I will still look for it. I can't let Xiao Jiu's bones stay in this wild forest. If he is alive, I will take his people back. If he dies, I will take his bones back, no matter what, I will not let him be a lonely ghost here!
