Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 436: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape

The Dajing Kingdom is adjacent to Lanqi to the west, and the people have been living in misery due to years of war.

Fortunately, in the past few years, a general named Xiao Chengfeng, who led troops like a god, appeared on the border and defeated the Lanqi army. Not only did he take back the lost cities of Wufeng and Danshan, but he also pushed the front line forward by 200 miles and captured two cities of Lanqi.

With the Qionglong Mountains as a natural barrier, General Xiao led his army to station to the east of the Qionglong Mountains to resist Lan Qi, who was determined to harass them at any time, and to defend the integrity of the country.

However, when Lan Qi's army was defeated and retreated, they massacred the city, trying to kill all the people of Dajing in and outside the city of Wufeng and Danshan.

Most of the territories General Xiao seized were empty towns and deserted villages, which were the final destinations of the disaster victims in Yazhou.

It not only solved the problem of where to go for refugees, but also filled the population problem on the border.

When Gu Li and his companions fled, the imperial decree had not yet come down, so it would be in vain for the rest of the escort agency who had set out to the south earlier than Gu Mancang to go further.

It is not known whether this decree has been issued yet. Gu Li, who is young and has little influence, has tried many times to persuade Gu Mancang to change direction and go to Western Xinjiang, but has failed.

Gu Mancang has always had a good relationship with his fellow brothers in the escort agency. Although the eldest brother took everyone away first for the sake of the overall situation, he left a note for Gu Mancang and left him enough water and dry food.

Gu Mancang wanted to go south as soon as possible to reunite with his brothers from the escort agency.

When they were on the road again, He Yunwang took the initiative to walk in front of Gu Li and squatted down. Gu Li pretended not to see him, walked around him, and ran after Gu Mancang who was carrying He Xingqing in front.

"Xiao Li'er, why don't you let your brother carry you on his back?" Gu Mancang looked at his daughter with some embarrassment. He had the strength to hold his daughter on his chest, but his daughter was grown up after all.

Gu Li shook her head, hooked the corner of Gu Mancang's coarse linen shirt, looked up and said, "I can walk by myself. I have strength."

Tao Chunhua packed up the family's belongings in silence.

"Then if you can't walk anymore, just tell Dad and he'll carry you."

"it is good."

He Xingqing numbly let Gu Mancang be carried on his back, trying his best not to move to increase the burden.

It was not until the Gu father and daughter walked onto the main road that He Yunwang pursed his lips and slowly stood up, his hands clenched into fists.

"Ayun, let's go!"

He Yunwang no longer looked at the stubborn little figure walking away. He took a bundle hanging on Tao Chunhua's arm and walked beside his mother.

Over the course of a few days, there were more and more disaster victims on the road, and Tao Chunhua held her son and followed Gu Mancang closely.

Previously, it was just a few people fleeing with their families, but now it is seen as entire villages fleeing and migrating.

People like Gu Mancang can be robbed by malicious groups if they are not careful.

Gu Mancang tried his best not to get close to such a team, and his family followed behind not too far away.

While being protected, you also have the opportunity to respond promptly to emergencies.

Gu Li overestimated her physical strength. After walking with Gu Mancang for less than an hour, she felt dizzy, her legs became weak, and she walked unsteadily.

Gu Mancang freed one hand to support his daughter's head and asked distressedly, "Xiao Li'er, can't you walk anymore? Do you want to hang on daddy's neck?"

Gu Li shook her head, refusing to let go.

Tao Chunhua took the initiative to say: "Why don't you go rest on your brother's back for a while, that's just right, don't get too tired."

The further we go, the harder this road will become.

Gu Li ignored her.

She didn't want Gu Mancang to be too tired, and she felt sorry for her own father, but she really didn't want to be involved with the person who killed her in her previous life.

In the previous life, except for He Xingqing who died on the way, Tao Chunhua and her son reached Wufeng in the western border with the help of Gu Mancang. He Yunwang joined the army and became a sixth-rank light cavalry lieutenant in the barracks. When Lan Qi attacked, she was taken to the city gate as his closest family member because of the secret leak by his spies, forcing him to abandon the city and surrender.

Whether in this life or the last, Gu Li had no good face for the mother and son who broke into her family with a purpose. One can imagine what the outcome would be if the enemy captured her to threaten He Yunwang.

Gu Li was shot in the throat by an arrow and trampled to death by a warhorse.

To die in that way, even thinking about it would give me the shock of dying again.

It hurts so much that I can’t breathe.

Anxious.

Gu Li couldn't really say that she hated him. Given the choice between a city and a person, she knew what to choose without being told.

But she did die because of him.

Ignoring him was the greatest tolerance Gu Li could show to He Yunwang.

He Yunwang didn't know why Gu Li was so resistant to him. Seeing Gu Li hanging her head and dragging her feet on the ground and not wanting to look for him, he also got angry.

He stared at the thin figure, unwilling to take the initiative to step forward. Even though his mother pushed him many times to hint at performing well in front of Gu Mancang, he was unwilling to do so.

Gu Li, feeling dizzy and dazed, tripped over a clod of earth. She fell to the ground with a mouthful of dust in her mouth. She spat several times and wanted to get up but she had no strength left.

Once the breath you hold on to is released, it will be difficult to gather it together again.

Without waiting for Gu Mancang to put He Xingqing down, Tao Chunhua, who had been paying attention to Gu Li, hurried forward and helped Gu Li up.

"We can't delay the journey. How about letting Xiao Li'er sit in my backpack?" Tao Chunhua put down the backpack without hesitation, took out a hatchet and a quilt wrapped in oilcloth from it, and asked He Yunwang to carry them.

I didn't dare take out the cloth bag of dry food and the earthenware jar of water from the backpack.

Gu Li did not refuse this time. She sat in the backpack, holding the clay pot and the cloth bag, leaning on Tao Chunhua's back, and fell asleep with her head tilted in a short while.

She had just recovered from a serious illness and her body was still too weak.

When Gu Li woke up again, it was already dark. Although the sun had set, the residual heat from the ground still made her want to stick out her tongue and gasp for air.

Gu Li had been sitting in the same position for a long time, and her legs were numb and she could no longer feel them. She pounded her thighs in fear.

"Daddy, daddy, my legs."

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Gu Mancang's face quickly appeared above the backpack, "Xiao Li'er?"

"My legs are numb and I can't feel them anymore. Woo woo woo-----"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Daddy will carry you out right away."

Gu Mancang, who originally wanted to walk a little further, immediately decided to find a place to rest nearby because of Gu Li.

Gu Mancang held Gu Li's armpits and supported her as she tried to move her two numb prosthetic legs.

Tao Chunhua and He Yunwang helped He Xingqing down the road and went behind a low slope. After helping He Xingqing away, they also moved their belongings over there.

"Dad, what do you think of this leeward spot?"

Gu Mancang supported Gu Li and slowly walked over, "Well, let's rest here tonight."

Gu Li is Gu Mancang's lifeblood, and Tao Chunhua knows how to please Gu Mancang. She smiled and asked Gu Li, "How is Xiao Li'er's leg? Can she still walk?"

"It's okay. The blood circulation is blocked. Just walk around and it will be fine."

"Dad, I'm fine. I can walk by myself." Gu Li was worried that if Tao Chunhua cooked, she would hide her family's dry food, so she just wanted to drive Gu Mancang to look after the family's belongings.
