Chapter 1001 - 996: Rumors Abound
Gu Youyou’s face was pale, and she whispered to Yuancheng in consolation, "They will definitely come out. Don’t worry too much for now, eat more and fill your stomach."
Gu Youyou emerged from the carriage and suggested to Jin Zijin that they find someone to take Yuancheng back first.
This was an extremely sensitive child. Gu Youyou vividly remembered how he had cried his heart out when Doctor Zhou had passed away. With no kin to care for him, over the years Qin Changlin had provided him with great care, and he had come to regard Qin Changlin as his only family. If they had indeed met with disaster, Gu Youyou did not wish to tell him under such circumstances.
Yuancheng was sent back to Beijing, and Gu Youyou’s group continued south.
Along the way, they distributed most of the food and medical supplies they had brought to treat the refugees, keeping only a small portion to continue their search.
During this time, they encountered another person, Doctor Zhou’s head disciple, Cao Tianyou.
Cao Tianyou, to repay his master’s kindness, had already joined Gu Youyou’s ranks, changing the name of his pharmacy to Jisheng Hall.
With Cao Tianyou at the helm, the Jisheng Hall in Yangguan City had become the transportation hub of Jisheng Hall in the entire Zhuzhao Country, as well as the branch with the largest volume of goods traded.
