Gu Erlang said: “Uncle refuses to leave. He said that no matter how severe the drought, the mountains will never die. If it doesn’t rain again next spring, they will leave by then.”

Gu Zhang sighed. What if they don’t leave? He can’t force them to leave with a knife.

Li Chunhua lowered her head: “My parents also refused to leave. They also said they would wait until next spring and then come and see us again.”

Gu Zhang didn’t say anything. He was tired from doing work for people these days. Everyone has their own choice and destiny: “Okay, tell them, we will go to Donghai County. If they leave next spring, they can go there to find us.”

Li Chunhua nodded.

At the same time, in a courtyard of Jiaofang House, Xiao Yu was listening to Shitou’s report.

“Old He sent people to follow the Gu family. The Gu family’s Eldest Son drove a mule cart around to buy some charcoals, hand stoves, ointments, medicinal materials, powder, and other things.”

“They also rented a courtyard in the city, Old He’s people saw clearly that there were two mules and carriages in the yard.”

“Then Gu Zhang went to a few bookstores, and finally found a boss who secretly sold him a map.”

Xiao Yu’s eyes flashed, there was indeed something wrong with that girl.

Ordinary people do not need maps. They only need them when marching and fighting!

Shitou continued: “Old He felt something was wrong, so he asked Old Ma to hook up with Gu Zhang. Gu Zhang said that people in his village were planning to flee to the south, so Old Ma said he was willing to be their guide.”

Xiao Yu nodded slowly: “Let Old Ma pay more attention, especially to that girl, and keep an eye on her every move. I suspect that girl is probably a spy of the enemy country!”

Shitou was startled: “No way, how can such a delicate and frail little girl be a spy?”

Xiao Yu sneered: “If you could tell a person is a spy, he or she wouldn’t be called a spy.”

“I now doubt that girl is involved in the ransacking of the Marquis Mansion.”

“Anyway, let Old Ma keep an eye on this family. They are going to the south, so just follow them and see what they are going to do!”

After speaking, he then ordered: “From now on, the information about the Gu Family collected by Old Ma will be sent directly to me via a single line.”

Shitou nodded: “Young Master, we’ve been out for so long, it’s time to go back.”

Xiao Yu stood up and said: “We’ll leave tomorrow.”

He thought for a while and then said, “Don’t spend the gold that girl gave you, keep it.”

Gu Fei still doesn’t know that she has become a spy in the eyes of others.

She lay on the kang and studied the map.

She took out the map from the history book and compared it.

Donghai County was located in the southeast of Lincheng.

Lincheng belongs to West Qin County. Starting from Lincheng to Donghai County, they have to pass through Xishan County, Hedong County, Huainan County, and finally reach Donghai County.

Huainan County can be regarded as the south, but Gu Fei doesn’t plan to settle there. Firstly, Huainan County was not as wealthy as Donghai County, and secondly, Donghai County was close to the sea. If the world was really in chaos, they have no other way but to go to the sea to find a place. It was not that bad to live on an island.

Gu Fei used the scale on the map to roughly calculate the distance. The county seat of Donghai County was approximately 1,670 kilometers or more than 3,000 miles from Pingan City!

This was still a straight-line distance. When they walk, the road will not be straight.

If they encounter mountains and rivers, they have to take a detour, and the actual distance will be longer!

If they walk forty or fifty miles a day, it will take about three months at least!

Gu Fei felt a little desperate.

She has an off-road vehicle in her space, and she still has a lot of gasoline, but she can’t use it!

If she got out of the car, she would probably be captured by the soldiers of Daying immediately.
