206 Pregnancy (Two updates combined into one)_2

The shack was in disarray and devoid of people. Suppressed and anxious breathing sounds emanated from an old cabinet that had been picked up from outside.

Subconsciously, Gu Changqing reached for the sword at his waist. He approached the cabinet carefully, pulling it open to find a disheveled young girl inside.

The girl sat in the cabinet, her face filthy, and her clothes ragged. She clutched a rusty knife in her hands, staring at Gu Changqing with an expression of sheer terror.

Gu Changqing looked at her intently before reaching out a hand, "Jiang Shi sent me to find you."

He took the young girl back to the Medical Hall.

The girl was Jiang Shi's sister.

She was thin and looked only about five years old.
