Chapter 578: The exiled female prisoner with two bodies (13)

Gong Liangjian carried his younger brother on his back and had to answer all kinds of random questions he asked along the way, such as what kind of flower this is, what kind of tree that is, what is the name of this caterpillar... The little guy, who was only a little over one year old, was very active in exploring the world. He was curious about everything and his little mouth was full of curiosity.

Sometimes Gong Liangjian, who claimed to have read a lot of books, couldn't answer the questions and had to fool people. Fortunately, Gong Liangcongyun was an easy person to fool, and there were so many things on the mountain that he was curious enough and he didn't stick to any one of them.

Gong Liang Yuzhu has already regarded Lan Shichu as her idol. With a serious little face, she followed Lan Shichu, listening to the movements around her with her ears perked up. Her beautiful eyes also looked around vigilantly, showing the aura of a hunter.

Lan Shichu's ears twitched as she heard a barely perceptible rustling sound about ten meters away. She looked in that direction and saw a gray hare running through the half-human-high grass. If it weren't for her good eyesight, she would not have been able to recognize the hare, which was almost the same color as the dry grass.

Lan Shichu quietly raised the bow in his hand, drew out an arrow, and aimed at the hare.

When Gong Liang Yuzhu saw her action, she immediately realized that prey had appeared, so she excitedly looked in the direction where Lan Shichu's arrow was pointing.

"Swoosh--" Lan Shichu loosened his hand and the arrow flew out and penetrated deeply into the grass.

"Aunt, did you hit it?" Yuzhu lowered her voice and asked Lan Shichu nervously and excitedly.

"Hit it." Lan Shichu replied, then ran towards the shot prey, and Yuzhu followed.

"It's a hare! It's not dead yet." Yuzhu said excitedly. Seeing the hare struggling after being shot in the back by an arrow, she was not frightened but happy, because it meant she would have meat to eat today.

Lan Shichu bent down, picked up the hare, strangled its neck neatly, handed it to Yuzhu, and said, "Hold it well, don't lose it."

Yuzhu immediately took it happily: "I will definitely not lose it! This is a lot of meat."

At this time, Gong Liangjian also came over with Xiao Congyun on his back. When Xiao Congyun saw the hare in her sister's hand, she was very happy. She raised her slingshot and a pine cone and was about to shoot at the dead hare.

Lan Shichu quickly held down his chubby little hand and warned him: "The hare is already dead, why do you need to shoot it? If you do this, you will hit your sister and it will hurt."

The little thing immediately became dejected. Lan Shichu tapped his forehead and said, "If you want to hunt, hunt other small animals around. Don't hunt people. Do you understand? Otherwise, you won't be able to eat meat."

"Got it." He changed direction holding the small bow and pine cone, and whooshed towards a caterpillar crawling on a tree trunk nearby, smashing the caterpillar to pieces.

Gong Liangjian took a look and immediately stepped back several steps in disgust. He said to the culprit on his back, "You little guy, you beat the caterpillar into this state. How disgusting! Why did you beat it? Caterpillars are not edible."

Yuzhu disagreed with her elder brother's words: "Brother, how can you say that about your younger brother? You should praise him. He is such a good slingshot shooter. He actually hit such a small caterpillar. Doesn't it prove that he has a talent for hunting? When he grows up, he will really be able to hunt. He is worthy of being your aunt's son!"

Lan Shichu couldn't help laughing. He stroked his son's round head, pointed at the tattered caterpillar and asked him, "That's your prey. Do you want me to keep it?"

"To mother." The little thing blinked his innocent eyes and said sweetly.

Lan Shichu paused for a moment and looked at him, not knowing whether he was being filial to him or deliberately making fun of him. Could it be that he had already learned how to turn the tables on someone at such a young age?

The little fellow smiled brightly at her, so innocent and adorable that Lan Shichu decided to take his words as an act of filial piety, so she refused, "Mom, no, the caterpillars are too small and have no meat. When you grow up and kill a wild rabbit, pheasant, or wild boar, will you give them to me?"

"Okay!" He agreed immediately.

While Lan Shichu was hunting in the place of exile with his three children, Gong Liang Subai was hiding his identity in the capital city and helping the deposed prince contact his loyal old subordinates, preparing to fight back against other princes and the emperor.

Gong Liang Sibai disguised himself as a gentle and handsome scholar, and under the guise of being the deposed prince's trusted aide, he secretly contacted the few remaining old subordinates of the deposed prince who had not been liquidated. This time, he discussed matters with a general on a cruise ship.

After finally gaining the general's trust with the token from the deposed prince and telling him some things, Gong Liang Sibai quickly left the cruise ship to avoid attracting attention.

When he passed by another group of young ladies and gentlemen boating on the lake, he suddenly heard a familiar voice, which made his heart tremble. He couldn't help but look in the direction of the voice, and sure enough, he saw the girl he once liked - Wen Shi Nong, the daughter of Wen Lisheng, the director of the Imperial College.

Wen Shi Nong was hanging out with several students from the Imperial College and their sisters. Gong Liang Sibai pretended to glance over there casually, feeling mixed emotions. Once upon a time, he was also one of them, but now, he was a wanted criminal by the whole world. He couldn't even reveal his true identity and could only hide, like a rat in the gutter. He was a world apart from those carefree students.

He deliberately glanced at Wen Shi Nong, but found that the feeling that his heart would go out of control when he saw her was gone. When he saw her now, his heart was as calm as usual. Seeing her was almost the same as seeing any other person on the street. The previous heartbeat had completely disappeared.

Gong Liang Sibai was stunned for a moment, then laughed at himself. It turned out that the so-called deep and loyal love was not as indestructible as he had imagined in the face of the disaster that made his family displaced and almost destroyed. For more than a year, he had been busy worrying about his family who were thousands of miles away and busy helping the deposed prince to make plans. He had no mood or energy to think about Wen Shi Nong.

After becoming a fugitive, Wen Shi Nong still lived a comfortable and easy life, and was sought after by many students of the Imperial College, just as he had before.

Gong Liang Sibai never looked at Wen Shinong again and left without looking back.

Wen Shi Nong seemed to sense something and could not help but turn her head to look back. A student who was attracted to her immediately asked with concern: "Junior Sister Wen, what are you looking at? Are you looking for someone?"

Wen Shi Nong only saw a tall and slender figure. She was stunned for a moment and felt that the back was very familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a moment. When she heard her senior brother's question, she answered absentmindedly: "No, I was just taking a look."
