Chapter 33: Gu Yundong's Past
Nie Cong was a little disappointed, but then he felt that it was normal.
There were many strange people in this world, especially those with true ability. For example, there was a famous go player in their prefecture city who was a very strange person.
Gu Yundong did not know that he had already found an excuse for her. She rubbed her sore wrist.
She had not drawn for a long time and was a little rusty. Fortunately, she slowly found the feeling again.
Gu Yundong was an orphan in her previous life. She did not have a good life in the orphanage. When she was five years old, she had been adopted. However, half a year later, the couple who adopted her met with a car accident and passed away.
She was sent back to the orphanage. Someone unknown said that she was a jinx, and that she had jinxed the couple to death. Because of this rumor, she had no friends at the orphanage at all. The director also didn't like her.
The orphanage's resources were limited. In order to eat and wear warm clothes, the children in the orphanage actually fought openly and secretly. Gu Yundong was the one who was often bullied, but every time there was any conflict, the director would punish her. Gu Yundong had known since she was five years old that she had to support herself and could not be weak.
She didn't have much feelings for the orphanage, but she worked hard and got into university herself. She worked part-time and studied to help herself find a job after graduating from university.
At that time, the major she was most interested in was art. However, it took money and time to learn art. However, she lacked both and could only give up.
Sometimes, when she couldn't help but feel tempted, she would go to the Art Academy to freeload some classes. She was very talented in this aspect and learned intermittently, and her drawing was very stunning.
Even the teacher could not help but feel that it was a pity about her character drawing talent. He even applied for a scholarship for her to study this, but Gu Yundong rejected this. For people who had no guarantees in the future, hobbies were sometimes very extravagant.
However, he did not expect that what he had learned back then would be useful here.
She rubbed her wrist for a while and asked Nie Cong and Xiao Bing, who were still holding the piece of drawing paper and discussing while praising her, "So, is this okay?"
The two of them nodded hurriedly. "Yes, yes, of course. It's too good."
Nie Cong went to get another piece of paper. The smile on his face was much more eager. "Let's draw two more."
"Only two more. No more than that." She was beginning to miss the copy machine.
With the first drawing, the second and third drawings were much faster.
Not long after, Nie Cong gathered the three portraits and was about to leave. "Quick, go back to the government office and get someone to arrest him with these. Someone must have seen him before."
He was about to leave when Gu Yundong hurriedly grabbed him back. "Wait a moment."
"What is it?"
"You have to help me keep the origin of this drawing a secret. I don't want to be targeted by that vicious bandit. I still have my family to protect."
Nie Cong paused and his expression turned serious. "Don't worry. It's not just you. We also keep the painters who drew the wanted posters a secret. I'll only tell the provincial governor about you. No one else will know."
The soldier standing beside him also nodded seriously. "Miss, don't worry."
To be honest, he still could not see what this girl looked like. She was too… disheveled.
Only then did Gu Yundong let go. Nie Cong quickly rolled up the drawings and left in a hurry with the soldier.
As soon as they left, Gu Yundong also prepared to leave.
However, as soon as she turned around, her eyes widened and she knocked on the table fiercely. "Ack, we hadn't agreed on the amount of silver for my compensation."
