Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 432: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape

Gu Li's eyes were dazed. She knew she had wet her pants without the woman telling her.

And peed on others.

At this moment, she was glad that she couldn't speak for the time being, thus avoiding the awkwardness of dead silence.

She swore that she really didn't wet her pants on purpose. She clearly saw a flowing stream in front of her and heard the sound of water flowing right next to her ears, gurgling, gurgling-----

Then, somehow, she just-----

As her eyes slowly moved, Gu Li accidentally caught the boy's avoidant and disgusted look.

Gu Li: ------

She was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to die, but she didn't even have the strength to grab her belt.

Forget it, I let myself be half-carried by the woman and hide behind the slope to change my pants.

Gu Li tried her best to ignore the woman's actions towards her. She saw the sky full of colorful halos floating around, making her dizzy.

The woman changed Gu Li's pants without saying a word, and threw her wet pants aside with disgust, muttering softly, "You are so old, why are you still wetting your pants? I am Yun Wang, but I am a boy. What is this?"

The woman's movements were not very gentle. After pulling Gu Li's clothes, she shouted at the top of her voice: "Daddy, it's all right here."

Gu Mancang ran over and picked up his daughter.

The woman smiled more and more, "Brother Gu, the fact that the child can urinate proves that the fever is going to drop. Xiao Li'er will be well soon."

"Is it?"

"Well, when my son Yun Wang was a child, he had a dangerous high fever and couldn't urinate. I was so anxious that I consulted several doctors. One of the old doctors told me to give him more warm water so that he could urinate and lower his temperature. Later, he urinated and his fever quickly subsided."

"That's fine, that's fine."

As they were talking, they returned to the main road. Gu Mancang held his daughter tightly in his arms. He didn't dare let anyone else carry his daughter on their backs again.

The woman saw Gu Mancang's concerns. She actually didn't want her son to carry the girl on his back, but she had no choice.

She also has a fourteen-year-old brother-in-law who needs to be carried on his back.

It was not appropriate for her, a woman, to carry her brother-in-law on her back. Besides, she couldn't carry him, let alone her son.

She could only hope for a full granary.

The woman looked at her son helplessly, then put on a smile again, raised her hand and patted Gu Li's back, coaxing: "Xiao Li'er, if you want to urinate in the future, you must tell me in advance, you don't have any other pants to change into."

Gu Li closed her eyes speechlessly. It turned out that she had this intention in mind when she threw away her pants.

The woman didn't wait for Gu Li's response and waved to her son again, "Yun Wang, come over here and carry your sister!"

He Yunwang was helping his uncle He Xingqing sit under a dying tree to prevent him from falling to the ground and getting burned.

He Xingqing's legs were aching all the time, and he turned pale with pain. He even had difficulty speaking. He held He Yunwang's hand and said, "Ayun, if you don't want to carry me, you don't have to. I don't want to leave anyway."

He Xingqing really didn't want to implicate his sister-in-law and nephew anymore.

His eldest brother and sister-in-law have always had a good relationship. After so many years, they have a child, Yunwang, who is the treasure of the whole family.

But now, my sister-in-law doesn’t even have the time to cherish the memory of her elder brother. She forces herself to cling to another man for him.

He Yunwang pulled his hand away and whispered, "Uncle, I can do it. We must all survive."

Just now he accidentally dropped the child to the ground. Gu Mancang saw it and immediately put He Xingqing down from his back and rushed to see his daughter.

He Xingqing, who had a broken leg, couldn't stand steadily and fell to the ground.

"Uncle, our lives were exchanged for by grandma and dad, please don't give up!" He Yunwang pinched the short corner of his clothes, stood up and walked towards his mother.

After a while, the wetness on his back was dried by the sun.

Although Gu Li was very reluctant, she still moved to the boy's back.

There was no choice. Gu Mancang carried the lame He Xingqing on his back and a package hung around his neck, which contained daily clothes for the father and daughter.

Gu Li can no longer add to Gu Mancang's burden.

The woman was carrying a large backpack containing all the family's belongings, including pots, bowls, clay pots, oilcloth, hatchets, etc. The weight of the backpack was much heavier than that of Gu Li, the skinny little girl.

Gu Li lay on the boy's back, closed her eyes, and received all the memories of her original body that San Liang gave her.

It was the 13th year of Dajing, and the Yazhou where they lived had been experiencing a continuous drought since last summer. To make matters worse, the autumn harvest was hit by a locust plague.

There was no harvest this year.

The common people tightened their belts, sold everything they had to pay last year's taxes, and survived until the next year by living on grass roots and tree bark.

It is autumn again, which should be the time for growing autumn grain seedlings, but the soil in the countryside is severely cracked, the riverbed is exposed, and it is difficult to find water.

It was time to collect taxes and grain again. Everyone saw that they had no way to make a living. Those who had relatives went to seek refuge with them, while those who had no way out began to flee to the south where there were abundant water resources.

Gu Mancang is from Dahe Village, but he has no father or mother, and his closest relatives are his aunt's family. His aunt's family took Gu Mancang's land and raised him. Gu Mancang, who has no land, works as a bodyguard in the town's Huwei Escort Agency with his strength.

Nine years ago, Gu Mancang married himself a wife, but unfortunately his wife died during childbirth of a daughter.

When Gu Mancang was on a escort mission, he placed his daughter in the care of his aunt in Dahe Village. When he came back, he took his daughter to live in the escort agency in town.

The disaster in Yazhou was so severe that even the tax cuts by the imperial court could not save it. Gu Mancang, who had just returned from escorting convoys from other places, found that there were already groups of people fleeing the famine on the road.

He hurried back to the village to pick up his daughter, only to find that his aunt's family had already packed up and fled, leaving his daughter alone in the empty house, lying on a brick bed covered with only hay, and she had a high fever.

Gu Mancang was furious and rushed to the town with his daughter in his arms. However, before he entered the city, a large number of people fleeing famine poured into the city.

The ancient well in the city that never dries up can no longer draw water.

Gu Mancang returned to the escort agency, and his fellow brothers in the agency were also packing their luggage to prepare to flee the famine.

But Gu Mancang didn't care about escaping. He carried his daughter and looked for a doctor everywhere. When he finally found an old doctor who was too old to leave home in the alley of West Street and got the medicine, he went back to the escort agency, but everyone inside had left.

Gu Mancang hurriedly made a dose of medicine for his daughter and had her drink it, then he packed his bag and set off with his daughter on his back.

But Gu Mancang was a grown man and had plenty of strength, but he was a little overwhelmed to take care of a sick little girl.

His daughter was in so much pain that she was crying, and his eyes also turned red. His daughter couldn't drink the medicine, so he could only stare anxiously.

Just then, Tao Chunhua came to him.

Tao Chunhua was originally the wife of a scholar. When she left the city, there were five people in her family. But when she met Gu Mancang, there were only three weak and disabled children left.

On the road, there were people with bad intentions who wanted to steal her bag. When her mother-in-law resisted, she was pushed down and hit by a stone on the ground, and died immediately. The scholar husband risked his life to protect his wife and children, and died together with the bad guys.

Tao Chunhua's brother-in-law had one leg broken, but he managed to save his life. However, in this world, without a pair of legs, one can only wait to die.

He Xingqing didn't want to drag down his sister-in-law and nephew, so he lay on the ground and waved his hand, asking them to go by themselves, but how could Tao Chunhua agree?

They were a fine family when they left the city, but after only two days, their family members were gone forever. She didn't even have time to be sad.

Besides, her brother-in-law's leg was broken while trying to save her.

In the chaos, she was protecting her son when someone pulled her hair and dragged her. It was her brother-in-law who held a stone and rescued her from the criminals.

Tao Chunhua couldn't just abandon He Xingqing like that; he was her husband's only younger brother and also her family.

So Tao Chunhua waited and searched on the roadside for a long time, and finally found Gu Mancang.

She helped Gu Mancang take care of her sick daughter, and Gu Mancang was responsible for protecting them, an orphan and a widow. With Gu Mancang, He Xingqing would not be abandoned.

In order to avoid being noticed by others, they temporarily formed a family to escape famine.
