Then, under Wan Mei's hopeful gaze, Gu Laosi ran faster than a ghost.
Especially, Wan Mei had been in the old Gu family for so many years and had also followed Gu Laosi to the fields. But she had never seen Gu Laosi run so fast.
"Hahaha, you called your husband so early? It's okay, your husband will satisfy you later."
Several soldiers from Qiyue State rushed up and dragged Wanmei towards the city gate.
It was not until this moment that Wan Mei realized how pathetic her previous stubbornness was.
At this moment, she was not thinking of Gu Laosi.
But it was the daughter who had suffered so much injustice and prejudice because of her. When Wan Mei thought of Qingqing, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
In the past, she disliked Qingqing because she was a daughter, thinking that she had hurt her body and would never be able to have children again.
But……
During those years, she always left all the good things to Gu Laosi.
She had never received any benefits from Gu Laosi, but just because those people said that her husband was her heaven, she chased after Gu Laosi regardless of everything.
But she forgot that there was a little child following behind her.
When she was injured, it was Qingqing who took care of her.
Qingqing couldn't speak, so she used her exhalation to comfort Wanmei.
When she was tired, it was that little figure who staggered to bring her hot water for soaking her feet.
But what about her?
As a mother, she always wanted to get something from Qingqing.
But she forgot that Qingqing was the essence of her life force. As for Gu Laosi, it was not until today that Wanmei saw his true face.
All the words were stuck in her throat, and Wan Mei knew that she had no chance anymore.
At that time, not far from the mountain road, Old Man Gu staggered forward.
And behind him, chasing after him was Old Lady Gu.
Just now, when the Qiyue soldiers rushed out, Mrs. Gu twisted her ankle and stumbled as she ran. But perhaps it was the instinct for survival that kept her chasing after her old man.
Old Man Gu fled in panic. When he turned back to look at his two sons and his wife, he urged them, "Second son, third son, please support your mother..."
Before he could finish his words, a soldier who had caught up with him had already come up behind Gu Laoer.
Without thinking, Gu Lao Er raised his hand and pushed Old Lady Gu to the ground.
Next second.
Old lady Gu fell to the ground, and the soldier with the long knife poked a hole in her body.
"Don't block the way, you old fool."
"Our general has given the order to massacre the city."
The sound of those people's disdain filled his ears, but the only thing left in Old Man Gu's mind was the image of Old Lady Gu being knocked over and then stumbling to the ground.
At that moment, Old Man Gu was sure that as long as the second and third sons held their mother, they still had a chance to escape.
But they...
He actually knocked Old Lady Gu to the ground and turned away.
Old Man Gu's face was filled with astonishment, but he forgot that he was also one of the people who abandoned Old Lady Gu. The Gu family had long been rotten to the core.
It was not until this moment that Old Man Gu finally remembered his fifth and sixth sons.
Those two children have been the hope of the Gu family over the years.
But what their parents did was always favor the second child.
I thought that as long as I had the second child, I would have hope.
So over the years, he has been mistreating the fifth and sixth wives, trying to squeeze out all the value from them.
Lu Yan and Gu Linbei had no idea what was happening in An County.
Two days later, when the army passed through a valley, Village Chief Zhou finally took a breather and arranged for the army to stop and rest. Although there were ox carts along the way, Lu Yan and Yu Nian did have it better off than the other villagers.
However, they had never walked such a long distance before, and Lu Yan and Yu Nian were still very tired.
At times like this, I am extremely envious of those who can travel through space and even park their cars.
Naturally, Lu Yan and Yu Nian didn't say anything.
Yu Nian set up the pot and stove and began to boil medicinal tea to relieve the heat, while Lu Yan and Gu Linbei walked into the mountains.
When it was almost time, two people brought out four pheasants.
These were naturally all hunted by Lu Yan in the mountains behind Xiaohe Village. She brought one to where Yu Nian and the others were, and plucked its feathers together with Yu Nian.
The other four were handed over to the village chief by Gu Linbei.
"Village chief, we can still hunt some wild game in the mountains now, but I'm afraid it won't be so easy in the future," Gu Linbei said with a sigh. "We'll probably have to rest here tonight. I think the villagers don't have much water left. After eating the pheasant, let's go into the mountains to find some water."
Gu Linbei's words were so powerful that the village chief could only sigh.
"good."
The village chief quickly agreed, and now even the look in his eyes when he looked at Gu Linbei became a little strange.
But in fact, the reason why Gu Linbei gave them the pheasant.
I just hope that everyone can work together along the way, only in this way will it be easier when we encounter refugees and bandits.
After eating pheasant meat, the villagers from Xiaohe Village who followed them on the journey regained some energy.
Naturally, four pheasants were distributed among the bowls of about a hundred households, resulting in only a fingernail-sized portion. Most people simply added more water to the pot and drank the broth, which was considered a sip of the greasy food.
"Old Five, is it too late for us to go up the mountain now?"
After dinner, Village Chief Zhou came over.
There is a shortage of water these days.
Just now, in order to ensure that every household could have a sip of chicken soup, the village chief also used a lot of water.
