There were bursts of noise coming from somewhere, followed by gusts of wind blowing past Prince Duan.
Xie's lips trembled, and she fainted in Prince Duan's arms, tears streaming down her eyes. She grabbed Prince Duan's sleeve and held it tightly without letting go.
"Your Highness, you must find Qingsheng. She is still too young..."
"mother……"
Gu Fengnan was also shocked by the action just now. He stood there at a loss, feeling like a child who had done something wrong.
Why did the man in black only capture Qingsheng and not himself?
I'm a boy, so I should be the one who was taken away...
He held Xie's hand, his eyes gradually narrowed, and he bit out a word.
"I will definitely find Kiyomori, mother."
…
"Let me go! Let me go!"
With the man holding her stomach, Gu Qingsheng's head and feet drooped down. The feeling of weightlessness made her very uncomfortable, and she could only struggle continuously.
The village was deserted, but there were still many people staying here. The men had extremely wretched expressions, and their protruding buck teeth made them look even more shifty.
The people at the village gate seemed to be welcoming the man. Seeing him coming back, they all came over. They thought they were saved, but Gu Qingsheng shouted loudly.
"Help! Help! This man is a human trafficker! Save me! My father has a lot of money to give you! Please save me!"
As she spoke, tears of grievance began to fall, and they landed on the ground, her cheeks and nose were red from crying.
Gu Qingsheng has been carefully fed and well-fed since childhood, and has always had the best food, clothing, and other necessities. He is also fair and tender-looking, and even when he raises his head and cries, he looks like a New Year doll from a New Year picture, and his fair complexion and delicate features are very adorable.
As she started crying, some women felt distressed. One woman came forward and her heart melted when she saw Gu Qingsheng like this. At the same time, she looked at her clothes and became worried.
"Ah San, I see this little girl is wearing something special. Will she really..."
"What are you worried about?"
An old man next to her stopped the woman, his eyes full of impatience.
Although there was a severe drought here and no crops were harvested, no one here looked as miserable as the boy we just saw. Instead, they had some plumpness on their faces, not at all like people from this extremely poor place.
"What other options do we have now? We've already found all the girls within a ten-mile radius. Where are the girls left here?"
"You finally met someone, why do you care about her status? When the time comes to die, burn her to ashes. What are you afraid of?"
Even though Gu Qingsheng was still very young, he keenly realized that these people were not here to save him.
Instead, she will die here!
Tears welled up in her eyes again. She was so small that she had no way to escape. She burst into tears.
"Let me go! Let me go! I want to tell Daddy! I want to tell Daddy! I have no grudge against you, why are you trying to kill me?"
"If you want silver, I'll ask Daddy to give it to you. Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Wuu ...
The louder she cried, the more the whole village echoed. As if annoyed by her crying, Ah San angrily scolded Gu Qingsheng.
"Why are you crying? What's the point of having silver in this day and age? Can you even buy water with silver? I don't care who you are, once you get here, you have to behave yourself!"
After saying that, he suddenly slapped Gu Qingsheng in the face, and relaxed the strength in his hand. This slap brought some wind sound and knocked Gu Qingsheng to the ground!
After feeling a huge pain, Gu Qingsheng fell heavily to the ground. His ears suddenly started ringing and blood slowly flowed from his nose, reaching a bright red patch at the corner of his mouth.
Gu Qingsheng lay on the ground with his eyes wide open, his cheeks burning with blood.
She couldn't hear any sound, but she saw those people arguing with frightened expressions, and she could feel a hot stream flowing out of her nose.
Lying quietly, his thoughts had stopped, Gu Qingsheng was completely stunned by the slap, and his eyes began to look empty.
"You're crazy! It's been so long and you still haven't changed this bad habit of yours! This girl looks so precious, she must have never suffered. What if you slap her like that and make her stupid?"
The woman was frightened by Ah San's action. She yelled at him and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Gu Qingsheng and pat her back.
"Don't be afraid, don ...!"
Ah San looked at the woman with disgust and shook his hands.
"Mr. Li, you're not thinking about your dead daughter, are you? She's dead, so what? Why are you still unable to get over it? Every family in this village has lost a child, and you're the only one who's acting so spoiled every day."
He said, raising his head to the crowd.
"Eat well tonight!"
After saying that, he looked at the woman from the old Li family.
"Remember to lock her up."
The group of people left in a mighty procession, leaving the woman standing there alone.
He hugged Gu Qingsheng with a gloomy look in his eyes.
After a long time, Gu Qingsheng finally came back to his senses. He didn't dare to cry, but clutched the corner of Aunt Li's clothes and trembled continuously, sobbing from his throat.
"Auntie...can you take me...home...I want to go home, I want to find my daddy...I want to find my brother..."
"I miss... I miss my mother... Please take me home... Auntie, please take me home... I'll ask Daddy to give you lots of money and food... Is that okay? I want to go home... I want to go home..."
She didn't dare to speak loudly, and the sound she made was as weak as a cat's meow. Aunt Li's shoulders were covered in blood, and she looked indescribably miserable.
Sighing, Aunt Li hugged her, patted her back, and sighed, then slowly walked towards the southeast corner of the village.
"Baby, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's because I can't make the decision on this matter."
"We need a girl to save the village, and Auntie's own daughter..."
After hearing these words, Gu Qingsheng calmed down instead. The light in her eyes dimmed and she slowly stopped struggling.
He could hear some sounds, but the intermittent words made Gu Qingsheng's heart sink to the bottom.
When she arrived in front of the dilapidated cabin, the lower half of her face was covered in blood, and she let Aunt Li put her into the cabin with a lifeless look in her eyes.
The door slowly closed, accompanied by Aunt Li's sympathetic eyes.
There was not a single ray of light left. She slowly curled up her legs and hugged them tightly, and suddenly began to cry.
She cried like this for who knows how long before she gradually calmed down. A hand was silently placed on her shoulder. In the darkness, the pair of eyes full of stars shone exceptionally. The boy was a little weak, with bandages all over his body revealing his thin figure, but he still handed a white handkerchief to the crying Gu Qingsheng.
