The taste that emerged from the tip of his tongue was very bitter, and Gu Qingsheng's thoughts suddenly came back a little.
In fact, what she lacked now was water. The pancake was dry and astringent, and it felt stinging in her throat when she swallowed it.
Suddenly, he felt thirsty and spit out the piece of bread far away. Aunt Li's eyes suddenly revealed a look of heartache.
Pat Gu Qingsheng on the back
"You said this little girl of yours was very precious, where did you get her from... What a pity... What a pity..."
Water was extremely scarce, so it was absolutely impossible for them to give Gu Qingsheng water to drink. Even though Aunt Li loved Gu Qingsheng very much, she just put down the bowl of pancakes, sighed and left.
Aunt Li's footsteps and sighs gradually faded away, and A Yue dared to approach Gu Qingsheng cautiously. Her little face was red from fever, but the pancake just now made her sober up a little.
Ayue helped him sit in the corner. After just one night, Gu Qingsheng knew that crying was useless. He frowned and stuffed the pancake into Ayue's hand. He looked at him and raised his eyes.
"Can you trade me your dried sweet potatoes?"
"Do you think you can exchange it for this cake?"
Ah Yue was not surprised, but put the dried sweet potatoes into the bowl and pushed them over, then said dryly in front of Gu Qingsheng:
"You eat."
"Give it all to me?"
Gu Qingsheng smacked his lips, took out some dried sweet potatoes from the bowl and chewed them, then pushed the pancake to Ayue's side.
"I don't want to eat this, it's too bitter..."
The pancake had a dry smell, and the grass on it was from somewhere unknown.
Slowly wiping the pancake with his sleeve, Ayue put the pancake into his sleeve very carefully.
"I, I'll save it for you and add some sugar for you later..."
Gu Qingsheng also found this a little funny. He really did learn how to use sugar quickly...
…
At the same time, at the village chief's house.
Prince Duan sat on the only wooden bench in the thatched hut, with his legs raised high, feeling very uncomfortable.
He supported his chin with his hand, feeling like he had aged ten years after spending a busy day and night.
"Sir, I've already sent people from all over the area to look for that person. You said that in a rural area like ours, there wouldn't be anyone skilled in martial arts, and how could they kidnap the little princess..."
Seeing that Prince Duan's face was getting more and more impatient, thinking about the supplies he had brought them in the past few days, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly.
"But I will still ask everyone to look for it. If it is nearby, I will definitely help the master find it."
Only the sound of a woman sobbing was heard from inside. Prince Duan's face changed. He ignored the words of the village chief and walked towards the backyard without looking back.
Xie sat in the yard, crying continuously, while Gu Fengnan handed her a handkerchief.
"lady……"
Prince Duan couldn't bear to see his wife like this, so he stepped forward and patted Xie's shoulder.
"You haven't eaten for a whole day. I've already sent people to look for you, and the villagers have also gone to look for you. We should have news soon. Don't worry..."
Although he tried to comfort Mrs. Xie, even Prince Duan himself was unsure.
This kind of village is in the middle of nowhere and there is no shop nearby. The man was running so fast that if he had kept running, he might have lost track of him long ago.
In his heart, he naturally knew that Prince Duan was comforting him. In fact, no matter what, Xie regarded this matter as her own fault. If he had been able to hold on to Gu Qingsheng at that time, he would not be in this situation now.
He raised his swollen eyebrows and gave Prince Duan a very forced smile.
"Qingsheng is blessed with a long life, nothing will happen to him..."
Lifting the curtain in the backyard, the village chief glanced cautiously at Prince Duan's family and left stealthily.
This scene happened to be seen by Gu Fengnan. He looked around and found that Prince Duan and Xie had not seen it, so he thought about it and followed.
I followed the village chief all the way to a low earthen house. He was short and squatted by the wall, so he was not easily discovered.
The village chief walked in cautiously, and heard intermittent quarreling sounds from inside.
He could smell the dry smell of the earthen wall, and Gu Fengnan put his ear close to it with great effort.
"I told you to let that girl go! You're in big trouble this time! Ah San! That girl is a princess! She's a relative of the emperor!"
The voice of the Ah San inside is nonchalant.
"What's the point of being a royal relative? We're almost starving to death, and you're still worried about this?"
"I'm telling you, I was the one who captured this little girl. Those officers and soldiers were no better than me. No one could catch me when I kidnapped her right in front of her. We hid her so well, who would have discovered her?"
His tone was relaxed, without any of the tension that came from the village chief's threats.
Gu Fengnan's eyes turned cold and he leaned against the wall.
"Why don't you repent? The fact that he can come here means that the emperor is going to issue instructions to us! This man is here to save us!"
"And I also heard that this family was specially sent by the Emperor to comfort us. They are the Emperor's younger brothers! This also proves how much he values this matter. We must consider the long-term! Quickly release the little girl, and then comfort her and say that we were just teasing her..."
"I won't do it!"
The voice became excited and started yelling and cursing at the village chief.
"You didn't act like this when you first asked me for help. Now that someone has come to save you, you're repentant and actually asked me to coax a little girl?"
"I won't let this person go. You can trust your emperor, and I'll trust my God! Besides, this girl is very beautiful, so it's very likely that the reward this time will be a bit more."
"Instead of relying on the emperor, who is far away, it is better to rely on us, God."
After saying that, Ah San pushed the village chief out of the door impatiently.
"Go away, go away! I won't listen to you!"
"You are simply!"
From Gu Fengnan's perspective, the village chief's face turned green with anger, and he stamped his feet.
“It’s totally unreasonable!!”
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left. Ah San pouted in the direction of the village chief and then slammed the door shut.
"You want to use me? Don't you see who saved the lives of all the worthless people in your village?"
"You guys go and rely on that dog emperor, I'm going to go and find my God!"
After that, there was no movement in the room.
Gu Fengnan's heart was pounding after hearing everything.
These people, the people from this village, actually kidnapped his sister!
It was a waste of all the favors my parents had given to the village to ask them to find my sister! They turned out to be a bunch of ruthless people!
Slowly moving under the locust tree, Gu Fengnan snapped his fingers.
"Asu."
A figure immediately appeared behind him.
As the only legitimate son of the royal family, it is very normal for him to be accompanied by secret guards at all times.
Although he is young, he understands some principles.
