Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 442: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape

"This is my barbecue. I've been heating it here for a long time. It's almost cooked. You want to take away the pot with it? No way!" Gu Li was not convinced and jumped up to grab it. "If you want to eat meat, go over there and get it yourself. There's plenty of horse meat. Grill it yourself! Don't force me to slap you!"

He Yunwang frowned and put one hand on Gu Li's messy head, pushing her down. "Don't make trouble. I'll give it to you when it's done!"

Gu Li turned her head and shook off the annoying hand, "Don't touch my head!"

She crossed her arms and looked at He Yunwang. Was this guy going to give her barbecue?

Would you be so kind?

But no matter how Gu Li turned left and right to try to meet He Yunwang's gaze, she failed. This man only looked at the fire and the meat and would not look at her.

Forget it, there was free labor, why should she refuse it.

Just as Gu Li thought, Gu Mancang, who had experience in dealing with bandits, was treated as a guest of honor by Shi'ao Village. Not only was he invited to travel with them, but the village chief also allocated a cart to Gu Mancang.

The village chief asked Gu Mancang to choose a horse by himself, but Gu Mancang refused.

He had no extra food to feed the horses.

Gu Mancang, who had been away from his daughter for less than an hour, didn't know that his daughter had made money from the dead and had become a wealthy woman. He also collected a lot of ownerless grain from the people he found to live with.

But his family really didn't have much belongings that required a horse-drawn cart.

When Gu Li ran to give the barbecue to her father, Gu Mancang was sitting with the village chief and the young and middle-aged men in the village discussing the next deployment.

"It's impossible for all the horse bandits to move out at once. We can't leave for now, so the remaining horse bandits will come to find us soon. We will have another fight next."

The village chief had forgotten to smoke the pipe that was stuck to his lips. The chaos of his first encounter with the horse bandits made the old village chief, who was used to being calm, couldn't help but feel scared and palpitating.

"Is it too late for us to leave now?" someone asked anxiously.

The village chief glanced at the person who was speaking and said, "Why are you leaving? Who doesn't have someone injured? Are you going to leave your family behind and go on the road alone?"

The belongings that were knocked over and messed up by the bandits need to be cleaned up, and the villagers who ran away also need to be given some time to wait.

There is also the horse meat that needs to be processed urgently. More than ten horses were chopped to death or seriously injured by the panicked villagers. With so much meat, how could the surviving villagers bear to give up the taste of meat that they haven't tasted for a long time?

At least you have to bring all the food with you.

Gu Li sat down next to Gu Mancang, stuffed a large piece of meat into her father's hand, and listened to everyone's discussion with her ear tilted.

Gu Mancang picked up the clothes, turned out a corner of the lining, found a relatively clean place to wipe his hands, tore off some shredded meat and stuffed it into Gu Li's mouth.

Gu Li:-----

Suddenly, a mouthful of dry meat was stuffed into his mouth.

"Your teeth are in bad condition, so Daddy will tear it apart for you to eat!"

Gu Li:-----

She was eight years old, but she sounded like she was eighty.

"Dad, I've eaten. These are all yours." Gu Li pushed away the hand that Gu Mancang handed over to her again, covered her mouth and chewed hard.

Although horse meat is delicious, without salt and any seasoning, it will not taste as good as dragon meat.

It just smelled good, but I lost my appetite after eating a few pieces of the roasted Guli.

But she didn't want to let He Yunwang get away with it, so she ran to honor her father with a piece of meat bigger than her head.

After the villagers had discussed it for a while, Gu Mancang spoke again under the gaze of the village chief.

"Don't be too nervous, everyone. As far as I know, we have captured the main force of the horse bandits. Most of the remaining ones in the village are just guarding the village. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Next, based on the current situation, Gu Mancang made arrangements to deal with possible sneak attacks at night.

Gu Li leaned on Gu Mancang's broad back and fell asleep while listening. Her body tilted and she fell to the ground without waking up.

Gu Mancang picked up his daughter with a smile and handed her to Tao Chunhua.

"Don't fall asleep tonight. Leave Xingqing and Xiaoli'er on the cart. Let's try to arrange the resting place at the outermost edge of the forest. There is a high possibility of a surprise attack by horse bandits at night."

Tao Chunhua no longer felt the fear she had before, "Why is there still something else?"

"It's okay. If the situation is not good, just find a place to hide. Xiao Li'er will be left to your care first." Gu Mancang patted He Yunwang's shoulder and hurried to the village chief.

The villagers lay down to rest one after another, and there was no other sound in the camp except the occasional crackling of firewood.

Gu Mancang tiptoed back to his resting place.

As soon as he got closer, He Yunwang, who was sitting against the cart with his eyes closed to rest, suddenly opened his eyes. The hand that had been holding the hatchet moved but was held down by someone.

When he opened his eyes and saw that the warehouse was full of grain, He Yunwang relaxed his tense body.

In the darkness, Gu Mancang nodded to He Yunwang with satisfaction.

"I'll watch over you, you take a nap first."

He Yunwang was about to say that he was not tired, but Gu Mancang stood up and turned his head to look into the distance, "Here they come."

Gu Mancang woke up Tao Chunhua who was standing beside him, pushed the cart and ran out of the crowd.

The cart was pushed away from the crowd, and Tao Chunhua also caught up. Gu Mancang handed the cart to Tao Chunhua and told He Yunwang, "Keep running forward and hide."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the camp, blowing the bamboo whistle.

At this time, the horse bandits were almost reaching the camp.

The young man who was pretending to sleep immediately jumped up from the ground and rushed to the front with weapons in hand.

Unlike the first confrontation, this time, Master Gu proposed that whoever killed the horse bandit would own the property, including the bandit's horses.

The wealth and horse meat made these men, who originally only knew how to farm, extremely brave. They worked hard to till the fields as if they were cultivating the land.

The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road.

This time the villagers quickly won an overwhelming victory due to their large numbers.

Just as Gu Mancang had expected, there were only twelve Avengers horse bandits this time, and only six of them rode horses, while the rest even rode mules and donkeys to make up the number.

Gu Li woke up halfway after being shaken by the cart.

He rolled over and nearly fell, but fortunately He Xingqing grabbed his collar and pulled him back.

"Cough cough."

He Xingqing let go and put his arms around Gu Li instead, "Don't move, be careful not to fall."

Gu Li covered her neck which was in pain from being strangled and supported herself on the cart to sit up. "What happened?"

Tao Chunhua had probably never pushed a cart before, and she pushed the cart recklessly with a nervous look on her face. If He Yunwang hadn't been holding on to the side, the cart would have probably overturned at any time.

"Hurry up and sit down, there's another fight over there. The bandits are here again!"

Gu Li twisted her neck and looked around, but didn't see Gu Mancang. "My father is still there."

Tao Chunhua gritted her teeth and pushed the cart with all her might, "He told us to hide first and come out when everything is fine."

Gu Li held the edge of the car and looked towards the firelight that was getting farther and farther away.

He Yunwang seemed to understand the contemplation in her eyes, "Do you want to go back and get some more benefits?"
