This child was not very young. He looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, and was actually a youth.
He was shabbily dressed. He was wrapped in a thicker garment, which looked like an old shirt from an adult, and he wore a straw garment outside it.
It was made of straw, and looked somewhat like a raincoat. He wore it over himself to help keep out the cold.
The youngster looked at them with cold suspicion, his expression frosty. But when he saw Gu Qingyao and the others, his expression softened.
Li Fangting called out to him when she saw him. "Elder Brother Jiang Xun!"
Jiang Xun nodded with a grunt. Then he looked at Gu Qingyao and said, "The entire Poplar Brigade lives in terror of Li Aiguo. They won't dare to take you in. But there's an abandoned house at the foot of the hill. Why don't you hide there for a while? There's no one there."
