Chapter 449 Relatives from the Previous Life
"Of course. Look, what can this little bit of food do?" Gu Xihuai held the bag of grain in his hand with a little disdain. It was so light and weightless. If they took this little bit of food back, it would not even be worth the money for the two of them to buy train tickets.
Hearing these childish words, Gu Yuehuai chuckled: "There are so many people selling food, wouldn't it be better to line up a few more lines? It's hard for them to check one by one whether you have bought food or not, right? The efficiency is a bit low, but we should be able to buy more."
After hearing this, Gu Xihuai's eyes brightened and he felt it made sense.
He nodded and stuffed the grain bag in his hand to Gu Yuehuai: "Okay, you take the grain first, I'll go buy more!"
Gu Yuehuai did not stop him and let him run around to buy grain. He glanced at the people selling grain in the crowd and found that they were indeed the people under Xing Jian's command. However, he did not see Xing Jian and Hu Zi. He wondered how the matter of Scar's son Cai Lan was handled.
The two of them had been running around in the grain street for the whole morning, and they had seven or eight more grain bags in their hands. The grain they bought would be enough for the family to eat for two months. Gu Xihuai clapped his hands and said with a smile, "So, bringing your brother here will still be useful, right?"
Gu Yuehuai laughed: "Let's find a guesthouse to sleep, and then come back tomorrow to buy something, and then we can go back."
Gu Xihuai felt the weight of the grain bag in his hand and was stunned: "Still buying?"
*
In the guesthouse, each person has a single room.
Gu Yuehuai pointed to the grain bag and said, "Third brother, you stay here and guard our grain. I'll go out and buy some food."
Gu Xihuai frowned, thinking of the chaos in Feng City, and said, "I'll go, you stay in the guesthouse."
"I'm worried about you going. Okay, stop talking nonsense." Gu Yuehuai refuted him, turned around and left the guesthouse. She still had to go find Xing Jian, and time was running out, so as soon as she went out, she hailed a taxi parked on the side of the road.
Nowadays, only rich people can afford to take taxis. The drivers throw away the cigarettes in their hands and are very nice.
Gu Yuehuai told the place, and the taxi took her to the countryside where she rented a house like an arrow.
She avoided the crowd all the way and walked to the rented house. She checked it carefully. There was a thin layer of dust on it. It seemed that no one had been there for a while. It was good that way, as it was not good for the warehouse to have too many people paying attention to it.
Gu Yuehuai took out the key from the Sumeru space, opened the door and went in, and put out a wave of food, eggs, rabbits and chickens. She knew that the black market street had great prospects. This time she put out more food, which would last for a long time.
She left the house, locked the door, and followed the path to Xing Jian's hideout.
Because she was afraid that Cai Lan would seek revenge, she gave him two hundred yuan last time and asked him to make other arrangements for his men, but she didn't know the specific address. Now they can only go to the hideout to find people, but based on Xing Jian's intelligence, he should keep them.
When Gu Yuehuai arrived at the hideout, most of the adobe houses were empty and looked desolate.
However, she still heard faint noises coming from the tin house.
This was where Xing Jian used to detain the kidnapped people. It was a very secretive place. When Gu Yuehuai approached, he heard a woman's "wailing" sound inside. It wasn't loud, but it sounded familiar, as if someone was tied up and locked up here.
This movement is a bit abnormal. Gu Yuehuai's eyes sank slightly. Could it be that Xing Jian couldn't convince Cai Lan and was still doing this kind of thing?
She was a little angry. If she had spent so much effort and used the food money to support a bad guy, then tonight she would have to get rid of the harm for the people. Thinking of this, Gu Yuehuai kicked the iron door open.
The movement inside stopped abruptly. Because it was daytime, light shone into the room. A woman who was tied up and curled up in the corner shrank her neck and buried her head in her knees. Her shivering appearance was heartbreaking to see.
Gu Yuehuai's eyes were filled with coldness. He took a few steps forward and just as he was about to reach out to untie the rope on her body, he suddenly heard a sound of breaking wind behind him. She rolled on the ground and avoided the stick that was coming straight towards her head.
The next moment, she grabbed the stick, swept her long legs across, and kicked the attacking woman to the ground.
"Ah - someone is murdered -" the woman held her head and screamed in pain at the top of her lungs.
Gu Yuehuai sneered and hit the woman who attacked him with a stick without any hesitation. She was very familiar with this person's face. She was the one who had been caught here because of Hu Zi when she passed through Fengshi for a transfer. Her name seemed to be Li Sanniang.
This person is still doing such evil things. I really didn’t deal with him properly last time.
Gu Yuehuai listened to Li Sanniang's gradually weakening cries, threw the stick aside, and asked coldly: "Where is Xing Jian?"
Li Sanniang looked at Gu Yuehuai in horror. When she saw her face clearly, her expression turned into shock: "It's you?"
Although she handled a lot of "goods" every day, there was only one high-end one like this one. She remembered it very clearly. She originally wanted to hand the person over to Boss Cai, but then Brother Xing said that the person had run away.
This made her annoyed for a long time. After all, such high-quality and high-end goods could be sold at a good price.
Gu Yuehuai frowned and said in a colder voice: "Where is Xing Jian?"
Li Sanniang curled up her legs and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Xing has left and is not here anymore."
Gu Yuehuai narrowed his eyes slightly and came back to his senses: "Are you Cai Lan's man?"
Since Xing Jian has left, Li Sanniang should not stay here. Moreover, she is still doing such immoral things as kidnapping, which is enough to show that her true loyalty is to Cai Lan. As soon as Xing Jian left, she continued to use this place.
Li Sanniang trembled and dared not speak, prepared to play dumb to the end.
Gu Yuehuai walked up to the tied-up woman. She didn't dare to look up and didn't know what was going on. Gu Yuehuai untied the hemp rope on her body, walked up to Li Sanniang and tied her up tightly.
She glanced back at the woman who still had her head down and looked like a frightened bird, and said, "The bad guy has been tied up. You can go now. Be careful and don't be fooled again."
Gu Yuehuai's voice was clear and pleasant to the ear, and it calmed the woman down.
After a while, she carefully raised her head. Although there were traces of tears in her eyes, her beautiful face could still be seen clearly.
Gu Yuehuai glanced casually, and the next moment, his expression froze, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
How could it be her? Shouldn't she be in the capital at this time? Why did she appear in Feng City?
Gu Yuehuai asked himself three questions in his mind. Seeing the woman struggling to stand up, he couldn't help but step forward to help her.
"Thank you, thank you." The woman took a step back in fear, but looking at Gu Yuehuai's lively eyes, a little trust and warmth rose in her heart. This feeling came inexplicably, and it was even stranger for her who had just escaped death.
Gu Yuehuai looked at the woman's familiar eyes and frowned, "Why are you here?"
Although her face looked much younger than when she saw her in her previous life, her fresh and orchid-like temperament had not changed. One could tell at a glance that she was from a wealthy family. Her name was Liu Weilan and she was from Beijing.
The two have little interaction in this life, but in their previous life they were relatives.
