Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 449: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape

Gu Li followed Gu Mancang and left.

He Yunwang was helped to sit with He Xingqing.

He Xingqing saw that his nephew's complexion had improved a lot. He took out a handkerchief from his lapel, opened it, and handed it to He Yunwang, "You might feel better if you eat something."

He Yun looked down and saw two pieces of dried meat on the old handkerchief. He didn't know how long they had been covering his body, and the dried meat had become limp.

He Yunwang picked up a short one and put it in his mouth.

He Xingqing had no time to stop him. Looking at his nephew's puffy cheeks, he was hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong, uncle?"

He Xingqing passed the remaining strip of meat to him again, "The one you just ate, ahem, was eaten by Xiao Li'er."

Last night, Xiao Li'er was too hungry to sleep, so he gave her a piece of meat. Xiao Li'er held it in her mouth and played with it, but she didn't eat much, and because Yun Wang threatened her, the meat fell to the ground.

He Xingqing, who didn't want to waste food, picked it up, wiped the saliva off it, and wrapped it back in his handkerchief.

He was planning to wait until Xiao Li'er was hungry before giving it to her.

Who knows!

He Yunwang's pale face suddenly flushed, spreading from his cheeks to his ears and neck. The strip of meat in his mouth seemed to be poisonous, numbing his entire mouth and making him unable to move. He couldn't spit out the meat in his mouth, nor could he chew it.

He Xingqing found this scene very novel.

I didn't expect that my nephew's face, which had been unable to recover, would turn red so quickly.

If he had known this, he would have done it earlier.

After a long while, He Yunwang started chewing again.

He turned around and faced He Xingqing, mumbling, "We don't have much food to begin with, we can't waste it."

"Yeah, you're right. You can eat the rest."

He Yunwang turned his body sideways again, with the back of his head facing his uncle, "Let's save it for her!"

It was rare for He Xingqing to see his nephew in such an awkward state. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You are only eating what Xiao Li'er has eaten? You won't eat anything without her saliva?"

"Cough, cough, cough, cough----"

He Yunwang covered his mouth and coughed continuously. A hot air rushed to his head, burning it so much that it seemed like smoke was coming out of his head.

Tao Chunhua, who was checking his luggage, came over to calm him down and asked, "What happened? Did you choke on your food?"

He Yunwang swallowed the food in his mouth whole and covered his mouth to suppress the discomfort in his throat.

On the other side, Gu Li followed Gu Mancang, walking with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and did not see anything edible for a long time.

There were no wild vegetables around, and the bark of many trees had been stripped off. The most common things in the forest were dead branches and rotten leaves.

The mountain they entered was not very big, but there were several mountain ranges connected to it to the west.

Seeing that his daughter still had enough strength, Gu Mancang continued to walk inside.

The forest was densely populated, but without the cover of leaves, the sunlight filtered through the branches, dispelling the darkness that should have been there.

Two people, one big and one small, stepped on the dead leaves and branches, making a crisp rustling sound.

Suddenly, Gu Mancang, who was walking in front, stopped, put one hand behind his daughter, and listened carefully.

"Someone is crying?" Gu Li also heard it, intermittently.

"Follow me."

"Dad!" Gu Li held Gu Mancang. Suddenly, crying was heard in the deserted forest, and it didn't sound like a good thing.

Gu Li didn't have much curiosity, and she didn't want her father to take risks.

Gu Mancang said, "It sounds like a child's voice. You cried like this when you were sick as a child."

Gu Li:-----

Gu Mancang searched the area for a long time before finally finding a trap covered with hay on a small slope behind an inconspicuous big tree.

After pushing aside the hay, a child younger than Gu Li was lying inside. He was so dirty that it was hard to tell whether he was a boy or a girl.

"Hey, are you okay?"

The child leaning against the cave wall heard the voice, slowly opened his eyes, and raised his dirty face, "Save me."

The hunting hole is a bit deep, and it is not possible for a child to climb up. But the full warehouse can.

He jumped out of the trap, lifted the child and carried him to the ground, then pulled out the sharpened bamboo strips at the bottom of the cave and stuck them on the wall. Gu Mancang stepped on the bamboo strips to gain leverage and returned to the ground.

The child's leg was scratched by the sharp bamboo stick. He must have bled a lot and his lips turned white.

"Why are you alone in the mountains? Are they your family?" Gu Mancang checked the wound on his leg. It was so deep that the bone was almost visible.

The child hugged his legs, closed his eyes and didn't speak, as if he had fainted.

But Gu Li knew he was awake, she saw the child's eyeballs moving constantly under his eyelids.

Although the child was dirty and his face was covered in mud, it was not difficult to tell from the parts of his body exposed outside his clothes that he was different from the refugees outside the city gate.

He has meat on him.

Gu Li said, "Dad, he seems to have fainted. Let's take him out and see if we can find a doctor to check his leg."

Gu Mancang was in a dilemma. He could save the child from the trap because he was about the same age as his daughter, but if he was asked to bring another child back, he, he, he didn't lack children.

Gu Mancang felt that carrying three people at the same time was already his limit.

Gu Li winked at her father mischievously.

Gu Mancang, who had a close bond with his daughter, slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, take him away!"

At this time, the child on the ground slowly woke up.

"Well, thank you for saving me, thank you."

Gu Li tilted her head. She saved his life, and that’s all she said: “thank you”?

"You are injured. If you don't find a doctor to see you, your wound will probably fester and rot. Let's take you out to see a doctor!"

The child propped himself up and sat up. "No need to find a doctor. I can handle it myself."

Gu Li stood there without saying anything. If the child wasn't so dirty and smelled bad, she would have wanted to pull him out.

Even after talking about this, you are still pretending to be ignorant in front of her.

Gu Li shook her head and said shamelessly: "That won't do. After all, we saved you. We can't just watch you get out of the trap and die from the bleeding wound. Then wouldn't it be a waste of our efforts to save you?"

The child's mouth twitched. He took off the cloth bag he was carrying and poured out everything inside.

"These are my rewards for saving me."

Gu Li lowered her eyes and saw a cocoon made of rotten leaves and branches on the ground that was larger than a duck egg. She was a little puzzled, "What is this?"
