Gu Xiaoxi. Gu Xiaoxi. That was her uncle’s name.

Gu Yundong’s eyes widened. She grabbed Mother Su’s hand and asked anxiously, “Auntie, you know Gu Xiaoxi? My uncle is called Gu Xiaoxi. He’s also from the Yongning Prefecture. He was separated from us when we escaped from the famine. We’ve been looking for him.”

As Gu Yundong spoke, she suddenly thought of something and hurriedly took out Gu Xiaoxi’s portrait from her space.

“Auntie, look. Is this the person you saw?”

Su Qing was surprised. Her boss had really put in a lot of effort to find her family. She even brought a portrait with her.

However, Mother Su looked at the portrait and frowned slightly. She shook her head and said, “I don’t know.”

Gu Yundong was stunned. “You don’t know?”

“The Gu Xiaoxi I saw back then was bruised and swollen. He was also very thin, as if he would collapse if the wind blew. He… doesn’t look like this portrait.”

Mother Su had seen this portrait before. It was pasted on the notice wall every day, but she had never seen it again after seeing it once.

Firstly, she did not know the person on it. Secondly, she was not very literate and did not know what the words on the portrait meant. Therefore, she had never thought that this person might be someone she had seen before.

Gu Yundong was enlightened. Yes, the portrait she drew was of her uncle in the old Gu family.

He had definitely lost a lot of weight during his escape, but she did not know that his face was still swollen.

He must have suffered a lot on the way to escape.

Gu Yundong put the portrait aside and asked anxiously, “Aunt, when did you see him? Do you know where he is now?”

“I saw him a few days after the city gate opened,” Mother Su said. “At that time, one of my nieces came to look for me. Gu Xiaoxi came with her, Xiaoni.”

“Niece? My uncle was with your niece?”

Mother Su nodded. “I have a distant cousin. Although we’re separated by several levels, we often worked together when we were young. Our relationship is not bad. It’s just that she later married into the Yongning Prefecture and got away from us. After she married over, she never visited us again. This time, my cousin died on the way because of the famine. Only my cousin-in-law and daughter, Xiaoni, were left. Later, my cousin-in-law died too. I heard that it was to save your uncle. Before he died, he entrusted Xiaoni to your uncle and even instructed them to come to the Xuanhe Prefecture to find my cousin’s family.”

“They must have suffered a lot along the way. When they arrived at the Xuanhe Prefecture, they were penniless and had been hungry for a few days. Fortunately, someone fed them porridge at the city gate at that time, so they survived. When the door of the new emperor’s prefecture opened, Xiaoni and your uncle entered the city gate and found my house.”

“It should be the address my cousin gave Xiaoni. When I saw them, your uncle’s face was already bruised and swollen. I couldn’t see his appearance clearly. Later, they rested at my house for half a day and told me what happened on the way to escape. That was when I found out your name. Your uncle said that he was looking for you. His eldest brother entrusted you to him, but he lost you. Along the way, he asked about your whereabouts and didn’t know what to do. He said that if I heard your name, I should ask someone to send a letter to him.”

At that time, Uncle Gu was also in despair. Actually, when he said those words, Mother Su could tell that he no longer had any hope.
