Chapter 1240: Emotions Hidden in the Heart
Gu Jin got into the car and cast his sharp eyes directly at Ling Qiong who was sitting next to him.
Lingqiong sat upright, looking straight ahead, looking like a modest gentleman with an elegant demeanor, which was truly pleasing to the eye.
Gu Jin was furious, but had no intention of appreciating it.
Seeing Ling Qiong pretending to be stupid, Gu Jin curled his lips in a mocking arc: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
"What did you say?" Ling Qiong finally looked at Gu Jin. His eyes were blank and his face was full of confusion.
"I'm going to call the Wanqi family's old house now. I think considering my kindness to them, it won't be difficult to get anything out of Fairy Wanqi." Gu Jin crossed his arms.
She leaned lazily in her seat, her face expressionless and her look cold.
Ling Qiong sighed softly and relaxed his sitting posture.
He thought to himself that he shouldn't have made this trip today.
Who would have known that the old lady of the Wanqi family actually had a pair of yin-yang eyes, able to see things that ordinary people couldn't see.
Ling Qiong turned towards Gu Jin, pursed his lips slightly, as if he didn't know how to start.
Seeing his embarrassed and conflicted look, Gu Jin felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
For some reason, she didn't want to see Lingqiong show such an expression from the bottom of her heart, as if she had forced him to do something.
Gu Jin frowned and his expression became even worse.
The look in Lingqiong's eyes gradually deepened. What he wanted to say was too complicated and too hard to accept.
Now An Mingji’s six souls have not been found yet, so there are many things he cannot say.
Once it was said, Gu Jin and he would drift further and further apart.
But he didn't want to see Gu Jin unhappy.
Just when Lingqiong was in a dilemma, Gu Jin said, "Okay, if you don't want to talk about it, don't talk about it. I will know it sooner or later."
She glared at Lingqiong with disdain.
However, her glare looked more like a wink to Lingqiong.
Ling Qiong was stunned for a moment, then he laughed softly.
The laughter was deep and pleasant. Gu Jin was very close to him, and his laughter seemed to be right next to her ears.
She looked out the window, not paying attention to the monster sitting next to her.
The moment she shifted her gaze, Lingqiong's eyes became deep and dangerous, and the curve of his sexy thin lips made his enchanting face even more unfathomable.
As long as Gu Jin looked back, he could see the unfathomable light in his eyes, which revealed sadness and pity, as well as complex emotions hidden deep inside.
It was like a fire that was about to burn Lingqiong's soul.
…
South, Fengqin Village.
Fengqin Village is located deep in the mountains and old forests, a small village that is not even shown on the map. It is hidden in the mountains away from the world.
There is even less chance that the village does not have electricity.
The villagers of Fengqin Village, which is located near the mountains and rivers, rely on the mountains for their livelihood, and with the one-third acre of land in each household, they live their lives day after day.
Although life is not luxurious, it is enough to have enough food and drink.
Today, Fengqin Village welcomed a wave of strange outsiders.
They were wearing black uniforms and carrying bulging luggage bags. The men were all big and strong, and there were two beautiful women among them.
The villagers followed the group all the way to the home of the village chief of Fengqin Village.
These people were none other than Gu Jin, Ling Qiong, Linda and others.
They had been wandering in the south for more than a month, until yesterday, when Lingqiong sensed that An Mingji's six souls were in this direction.
The group traveled through mountains and rivers and finally found Fengqin Village.
This is a backward village chief, still stuck in the era of the Spirit Realm Continent thirty or forty years ago.
In today's rule of law society in the Lingyu Continent and the new environment where science and technology are gradually taking off, Fengqin Village is a remote and poor place isolated from the world.
Since ancient times, poor and remote areas have produced unruly people. After Gu Jin and his group entered the village, they were always vigilant.
No wonder they are so cautious.
Gu Jin and his group wandered in the south for nearly a month, passing through many villages and seeing too many people with bad attitudes.
It is not absolute that only unruly people are found in remote and poor areas. After all, there are also some simple and kind villagers.
But there are very few such people. The isolated villagers have never set foot in society and they are unaware of the existence of laws.
In their view, the ancestral system is their law, and speaking with fists as they please is their rule, and it is impossible to communicate with them.
The thing that Gu Jin remembers most vividly during this trip was that he witnessed with his own eyes the village chief personally putting a woman alive in a pig cage in a small village with less than 300 people.
They tied the women into pig cages, filled them with rocks, and threw them into several meters of water.
Just because the woman couldn't give birth to a son and also quarreled with her mother-in-law, women were just commodities in their eyes. If one was gone, they could always use money and food to replace him with another one.
Witnessing such an incident with his own eyes shattered Gu Jin's already fragile worldview.
She did not take any action to stop it, but sent people to rescue the woman tied in the pig cage right under the eyes of the villagers.
Gu Jin did not ask the woman how to go next, or kindly give her directions and let her stay away from the village.
She left a considerable amount of money and enough food for the women to escape over the next few days.
After doing all this, Gu Jin continued on his journey to find An Mingji's six souls.
As for where that woman goes, it has nothing to do with her anymore.
A person's destiny can only be controlled by his own hands.
She could save the woman once, but she couldn't save her multiple times.
No matter what the other party's choice is, Gu Jin will no longer care.
In her opinion, the people in Fengqin Village are quite simple and honest.
The villagers here, whether adults or children, all have happy and contented smiles on their faces.
They radiate contentment and carefreeness from within.
When Village Chief Tu heard that there were outsiders, he changed into new clothes, a blue gown, and held a pipe in his hand.
The old man has lived for half his life, and even when he saw that Gu Jin and his group had extraordinary demeanor, he still maintained his dignified demeanor in front of the villagers.
Gu Jin was sitting opposite Village Chief Tu. She looked around the wooden house with admiration in her eyes.
Most of the houses in Fengqin Village are made of wood, and their carving skills are also very good. Every household has carvings of auspicious beasts.
It seems that this village is quite particular.
Village chief Tu took a few puffs of his pipe, and his eyes, which seemed cloudy but were actually shrewd and wise, kept glancing at the main table filled with cigarettes, alcohol and meat.
My goodness, these things are all valuable items, worth a lot of money.
Gu Jin and his group came in carrying boxes. They entered the room without making a sound, opened the boxes, took out the contents one by one, and placed them on the table.
There were also several bundles of Great Unity banknotes among them. Even Village Chief Tu had never seen so much money.
This made him jealous and he wanted to carry all the things into the inner room and let the old woman hide them.
But he was not stupid. The arrival of Gu Jin and his group did not seem simple. They might have come to destroy the village.
The surrounding villages have been at odds with each other more than once or twice, and they would quarrel from time to time over trivial matters.
Fengqin Village rarely gets involved, and the two have lived in peace for many years.
