Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 447: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape

A week ago, if one wanted to enter Gongzhou’s city gate, one only had to pay 500 coins.

Zhao Chuang, who was doing business in Gongzhou, learned that the drought in his hometown was getting worse. He was worried that his parents had no water to drink at home, so he drove back to his hometown to pick them up.

The reason why the Shi'ao Village collectively fled to Gongzhou to escape famine was because they learned from Zhao Chuang that there was still water in Gongzhou City, and they came here just for this.

Who would have thought that when Zhao Chuang came back to pick people up four days ago, the city gate was already guarded by the garrison troops and could not be opened without special orders.

Zhao Chuang and his parents were turned away.

As more and more refugees gathered outside the city gate, Zhao Chuang's carriage was overturned, the contents were looted, and the horse driving the carriage was also robbed and killed for meat. He and his parents had not eaten a drop of water or a grain of rice for three days.

If they had not happened to run into villagers from Shi'ao Village, Zhao Chuang and his two companions would most likely have been dragged into the woods and thrown into an iron pot.

Gu Mancang sat silently beside the cart, looking at the dense crowd in front of him, not knowing what to do.

Gu Li approached, "Dad, we can't enter Gongzhou City, why don't we go west."

"Xiao Li'er, you said that during the few days we were behind, your uncles and aunts have already gone into the city!"

Gu Li didn't even think about it and said, "No."

They travelled for half a month, and although they had to stop and go for various reasons, there was no reason to delay their journey by a week.

Besides,

Gu Mancang suddenly slapped his thigh, his eyes brightened up, "I think so too, they might be nearby, I have to look around."

Gu Li:-----

In the midst of the starving ghosts, the Shi'ao Villagers dared not light a fire for breakfast no matter how many people there were. Every household was hiding and eating dry food. They planned to stay overnight outside Gongzhou City and then inquire about the situation.

Gu Mancang settled his family near the village chief's house and asked the village chief to help look after them, and then he ran out front.

Gu Li didn't dare to sleep and kept her eyes open counting the stars in the sky.

One, two, three----

When he counted to the seventy-seventh ball, someone's sneering sound came from the ground next to the cart.

"Seventy-eight, seventy-nine, the eightieth-----" Gu Li held her breath and counted down.

"Ah!"

Tao Chunhua reached out and quietly patted her son's arm. He Yunwang, who was lying on the ground, turned over carelessly. "Mom, are you also unable to sleep because of the noise?"

Gu Li:-----

Gu Li, whose interest was disturbed, could no longer count. She clung to the wall of the cart and stuck half of her head out to look at He Xingqing who was sleeping on the ground next to her.

"Uncle, are you asleep?"

"Xiao Li'er?"

"Well, uncle, do you smell a fragrance?"

The faint smell of meat made Gu Li's stomach twitch. She wanted to eat meat. Gu Li couldn't remember how long it had been since she had a normal meal.

Her desire for food reached its peak in the quiet night, amidst the tempting aroma of meat. All she could think about was eating meat.

He Xingqing didn't say anything, but he took out two pieces of dried meat that Tao Chunhua had stuffed into his pocket the day before and put them in Gu Li's hands.

Gu Li only took one and lay back on the cart. He held the tasteless dried meat in his mouth and ground it bit by bit with his side teeth.

"I don't know who is so wicked. Cooking in the middle of the night smells so good. Do you think no one will steal it?"

Spreading poison late at night is a sign of lack of virtue!

He Yunwang sat up from the ground, and when he turned around, he saw someone with her arms behind her head, staring blankly at the night sky, and the strip of meat in her mouth trembled as she spoke.

He also looked up at the distant night sky. There was a cold crescent moon and a few stars dotted around. Not as many as the seventy or eighty she had counted.

He said: "Some things may smell good, but they may not taste good."

Just like some people, they look cute and well-behaved, but are actually very troublesome.

Gu Li pretended not to hear and said, "It smells so good, I want to rob a bowl of soup to drink!"

"Oh, you know what they're cooking, and you dare to drink it?"

Gu Li had a vague guess, but she just had no money and just wanted to achieve a negative distance contact with the food through sexual fantasy.

Is she wrong?

Being stared at by those eyes that were also shining in the darkness, Gu Li felt a chill down her spine for a moment, "Stop being so sarcastic and alarmist."

He Yunwang suddenly smiled at her and said quietly, "The texture of lotus is fragrant when cooked, and people compete to taste wontons made from its breast milk. Cut off both arms first and hang them in the butcher shop, then slowly cut off the thigh fat and make soup."

Gu Li:-----

"you shut up!"

"The smell of men's meat is inedible, but the fat on women's skin is so dense that they sweat less."

Gu Li shuddered, turned over and pulled He Xingqing who was lying on the ground, "Uncle, look at him, he wants to cook me and eat me! And you don't care about him."

As he spoke, he didn't even notice that the meat around his mouth had dried up. Gu Lisheng pulled He Xingqing up from the ground.

He Xingqing looked at the young boy sitting opposite him with a cold face, "Yun Wang, don't scare your sister."

Gone?

Is this also a lesson?

Gu Li looked around and saw that they were all members of the He family.

The child without his parents immediately wilted and fell down, squeezing closer to Tao Chunhua, carefully hugged Tao Chunhua's arm, and poked her, "Aunt, He Yunwang is a bad guy! I hate him."

Tao Chunhua pretended that she couldn't sleep anymore. She reached out and patted Gu Li gently, "Don't be afraid. He won't dare to bully you because I'm here!"

After saying that, he glared at his son.

She really didn't know what had happened to her son. His originally restrained and polite personality suddenly changed drastically, and she almost couldn't recognize him.

He Yunwang faced the cold eyes of his mother and uncle, curled his lips and smiled, looked at the little devil girl who had finally become obedient and leaned against his mother affectionately, then he lay back down with satisfaction.

Gu Li was in a daze and didn't know whether she fell asleep or not. When the sky was getting light, Gu Mancang finally came back.

His clothes were torn and tattered, his arms were covered in blood, there was a burn on the back of his hand, and a series of blisters appeared.

"Dad, how are you injured?"

Gu Mancang hugged his daughter, then quickly let go and said in a hoarse voice, "Dad is fine, he just ran into some trouble."

Gu Li sensed the oppressive aura surrounding Gu Mancang. She thought it was the disappointment of her father who was unable to find his fellow brothers in the escort agency.

"It doesn't matter if we don't find the same uncle. As long as we are still alive, we will meet again one day. Dad, let's go find the village doctor to check your burns."

Tao Chunhua stopped them and said, "Just open the blister. I have some ointment for burns."

When they fled, they took enough belongings with them, but they were robbed on the way. All their food, daily necessities and clothes were taken away, leaving only some things that they did not need in daily life.

Burn ointment is one of them.

Tao Chunhua used an embroidery needle to help Gu Mancang open the blisters one by one and applied medicine on him. Gu Mancang kept staring at Gu Li.

"Dad? Do I have a little flower on my face? Why are you staring at me?"

Gu Mancang forced a smile, "Well, Xiaoli'er is prettier than Xiaohua!"

Gu Li raised her little face proudly and moved closer to Gu Mancang.

"Dad~" A sweet and soft voice came into my ears.

Gu Mancang finally relaxed his frown.

How could anyone have the heart to skewer and roast such adorable children?

Gu Mancang touched the top of his daughter's head and reminded her again: "Xiao Li'er, you must stay close to daddy and never be left alone, understand?"
