“Pah.”
“Pah.”
"You useless piece of shit, get out of here quickly." One of the bearded men under Old Huang was waving a whip in his hand, which made a crackling sound.
The sound makes people feel inexplicably timid.
A maid from the Gu family's side branch was whipped several times and knocked to the ground.
The man behind the woman stepped forward to protect her. "Mom, damn it."
"Snap." Another whip lashed out at the man, his face instantly bruised. "What the hell are you talking about?"
The man fell to the ground with a wail.
This fall caused many people to fall to the ground, and the ropes tied between each person were only five feet long.
"What a fucking bad luck! They've just set out and they've already caused trouble for me." The bearded man's face was filled with anger. He called out to the other two officers standing there, "Yao Wu and Yao Liu, teach them a lesson."
Yao Wu and Yao Liu grinned:
"Damn it. I just lost money last night, so let me vent my anger here." Yao Wu took off the whip from his waist and lashed at the group of people who fell to the ground.
Yao Liu cursed angrily, "Unlucky things." He started punching and kicking them.
For a moment.
The cries of wailing and begging for mercy were endless.
Mixed with the sound of whips cracking.
Old Huang was riding on his horse, holding a water bag and taking a sip of wine. He half-closed his eyes and sneered at these people. In a few days, they would all become spineless.
Su Qi watched these things coldly and pondered silently in his heart. There will be many uncontrollable factors in the future.
You have to be alert at all times.
The people tied together with Su Qi and the others were all young girls and boys. Gu Beiting and the others' faces turned pale with fear.
At the very least, she was a daughter of the General Protector's Mansion. She had never seen anything like this before. Several people squatted on the ground, trembling, not daring to move.
Gu Beiheng took a step forward to block Su Qi, thinking that the little woman would be frightened.
But she just frowned thoughtfully, not feeling frightened by the scene before her.
"Qiqi, aren't you afraid?"
Su Qi put away the old duck soup water bag and hung it around her waist. She also took off the water bag from Gu Beiheng's waist. She quietly exchanged it with the water bag in the space, and hung the water bag filled with wine in the space around Gu Beiheng's waist.
"What's the point of being afraid? Just think about surviving."
There was an unknown meaning in Gu Beiheng's eyes, and his eyes fell on Su Qi's head.
All I saw was the little woman's hair tied together with two cloth ribbons and tied into the most ordinary bun.
"Don't worry, I will definitely let you and the child survive." Gu Beiheng solemnly promised.
Su Qi was startled.
Past and present life.
She was used to not relying on others, but now Gu Beiheng's words moved her heart.
But it was only for a moment.
Men's words can lie, she didn't believe that.
The group of twenty or so people nearby were all beaten.
The bearded man, perhaps tired of beating people, stopped whipping them. He glanced at everyone with a cold gaze, "Don't give me the money from your general's mansion. The Third Prince who was escorted last year also had to obey my orders."
Even if all of you die on the way, let alone a few people dying, it's no big deal. If you want to be beaten to death by me, just come over here."
Everyone at the scene lowered their heads and remained silent.
Every whip blow and every wail was heard before their eyes and in their ears.
How could he dare to argue with the bearded man at this moment?
"Get up and walk." The bearded man shouted.
The twenty or so people lying on the ground wailing and crying all supported each other.
Su Qi took a sneak peek.
He snorted coldly, it turned out to be Mrs. Gu Wu.
She asked, "Who is so noisy?" But Mrs. Gu Wu was used to reading people's faces, so how could she offend the bearded man?
The little incident on the road passed quickly.
After walking for about an hour and a half, we arrived at a teahouse. A tattered flag with the word "Tea" written on it fluttered in the wind.
The teahouse was full of people, and some sharp-eyed people saw the Gu family and their group staggering towards them.
Those who were originally sitting stood up and looked around, but no one dared to move forward.
Old Huang raised his hand to stop the marching team.
He turned the horse's head while holding its belly, and said sternly:
"The Emperor is so gracious that he gives you the opportunity to say goodbye to your loved ones.
"Stand in rows. No loud noises. Leave again in half an hour." Old Huang said this and rode his horse to the teahouse.
A servant had already taken the horse over to give it water and feed.
Among the waiting crowd, an elderly man handed a bag of silver to Old Huangtou and gave him a silver note privately.
Old Huang weighed the bag in his hand and squinted his eyes to look at the banknotes.
Laugh out loud.
He casually pointed in the direction of Su Qi and Gu Beiheng and said something.
The old man bowed and nodded in thanks.
Following the direction of Old Huang's finger, a young woman in the crowd looked over excitedly with a little boy about twelve or thirteen years old.
Then the young lady ran after the old gentleman.
"Gu Beiheng. I guess no one will come from my house." Su Qi knew her original body's family. The old grandmother was in charge of the household expenses.
Even if the original mother made money privately, she would not be allowed to come out at this time.
Gu Beiheng smiled calmly and said:
"Qiqi, you are the eldest daughter of the Su family. Even if no one from your family comes, you must have your reasons.
My mother's family? Alas, I've never called them by their proper names." Gu Beiheng smiled bitterly. The uncles and grandparents he mentioned were all Zhang Yunyu's family.
Children born out of wedlock cannot recognize their aunt’s family.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng looked at Aunt Liu at the same time.
Aunt Liu was playing with Dabao and Erbao, and she also had to keep an eye on the two little ones so they wouldn't stray too far. She didn't expect anyone to come over.
"Qingyin, Beiheng." The old man in the teahouse looked around and asked uncertainly.
Aunt Liu was stunned.
No one has called Qingyin this name for many years.
She slowly turned her head and saw the unfamiliar face in her memory.
"Brother..." Aunt Liu cried in grievance.
"Oh. My son is so grown up now, why is he still crying like he was when he was a child?" The old man stepped forward and took Aunt Liu's hand, but his own eyes became red.
Gu Beiheng took Su Qi's hand and took a step forward.
"uncle."
The old man couldn't help but tremble and said, "Beiheng, what did you call me?"
"Uncle, you are my mother's brother. Naturally, you are my uncle." Gu Beiheng lost his usual coldness and held Su Qi's hand. "Uncle, this is my wife Su Qi."
Su Qi did not miss the astonishment and surprise in Uncle Beiheng's eyes.
Then he bowed, "Uncle."
…
"Second sister." The woman who rushed over shouted.
Su Qi felt that the voice was a little familiar, but didn't take it seriously.
The next second, he was hugged by a woman who smelled of flowers and was crying.
(⊙﹏⊙).
Su Qi was a little embarrassed. Just by listening to the voice, she didn't seem to know who it was.
It’s not wrong to call her sister.
"Sister, please stop crying."
"Second sister." The half-grown boy stood beside her with a backpack on his back and a bundle in his hands.
Su Qi reached out and touched the boy's head. The little boy did not avoid her as she remembered. Instead, he obediently stretched his head towards her for her touch.
"Sister, my elder brother was locked in the house by my grandmother." The little boy's face turned red with anger. "My elder brother told me to tell you that he will definitely come to find you if he gets the chance."
Su Qi pushed away Susan, who was hugging her and crying bitterly. "Sister, don't waste your time crying. Do you want to cry for half an hour and then end it without saying anything?"
She remembered who it was.
Susan was her half-sister, and when she did, she cried endlessly, just like the plum rain season in Jiangnan.
Susan raised her head and wiped her red eyes. She pouted and said, "I can't help it. Do you think I want to cry?
Do you remember what you said back then? You said that you were the legitimate daughter of the Su family and that you were supposed to live a better life than us. If you were really well in the capital, would I be crying uncontrollably?
Su Qi never thought that her original body would say such brainless words.
"Sister, have you forgotten what mother said?" Su Tianci impatiently scratched his ears with his hands. He suspected that Susan was rain in her previous life.
It rains all the time in my life.
Susan wiped her eyes with her handkerchief and sniffled. "What a great memory I have! How could I have forgotten everything so quickly?
Mother heard about your accident and became so worried that she fell ill. Our father was also reprimanded by the Emperor and forced to reflect on his mistakes at home. My eldest brother was originally going to come over."
"Grandmother ordered people to lock my eldest brother in the house and not let him out." Su Tianci reported angrily.
Fortunately, he was smart and ran away secretly.
