In the bustling train station, Gu Zi's attention was predominantly fixated on Su Le, while a small fraction of her awareness remained on the items she had purchased.
She knew she had to stay vigilant, especially in a city rife with thieves during this era.
She had just bought a succulent roast duck when she suddenly found herself the target of two individuals.
Finally finding a moment of respite as they boarded the bus, Gu Zi leaned back in her seat.
The middle-aged woman seated in front of them turned around, revealing a set of uneven teeth as she inquired, "Miss, are you heading to the countryside to visit your relatives?"
The people in the city were really rich. They brought a multitude of gifts to their rural kin, even roast duck, of all things.
However, she felt that the child in this woman's arms looked exceedingly familiar.
