Gu Xiao's intention to find Gu Qingying was obvious.
But now we don’t know the situation, and going there might cause trouble for Gu Qingying.
General Gu comforted him: "I am also worried about your sister, but I believe she can take care of herself. Don't forget that she has space."
Gu Xiao sat down uneasily and sighed: "I'm very worried about her now. Wanyan Lie and General Yelu have gone, and I'm afraid that she will be caught." Even though he knew that Gu Qingying had space, he still couldn't help but worry.
.
Wanyan Lie and General Yelu obviously wanted Gu Qingying dead.
It was obvious that the two of them had abandoned everything at the border and pursued them, so now they could only wait slowly.
General Gu was silent. He was using Gu Qingying's thinking to think about what Lu Qingying should do next.
After escaping from the Beiliang Kingdom camp, Gu Qingying must have wanted to find a safer place to hide.
There are natural advantages in the woods, which pave the way for the subsequent escape.
General Gu calmed down, raised his head and glanced at Gu Xiao, and continued to comfort: "You continue to go out and guard. Believe me, nothing will happen to your sister."
It was daybreak and all the torches had been put out. Wanyanlie and General Yelu had to accept a reality.
Gu Qingying slipped away from under their noses again.
Wanyanlie and General Yelu didn't know how many trees they cut down during this section of the road.
The two people's hearts gradually calmed down, and they could only turn around and go back.
Otherwise, if Tianyuan Kingdom takes the opportunity to attack, it will be over.
The two left the woods as quickly as possible, but still did not give up, leaving a team of people behind to continue searching in the woods.
Gu Qingying waited until night before coming out of the space.
It was pitch dark outside and there was no bright moon tonight. Gu Qingying came out of the space and did not leave immediately. Instead, he listened carefully to the movement around him and made sure that no one was around before he started to act.
Since no one must return to Tianyuan Kingdom as soon as possible.
After roughly identifying the direction, I lit the torch directly.
Moving forward slowly, walking in the dark and in the woods full of thorns, Gu Qingying's speed was not very fast.
Fortunately, she didn't meet anyone from Beiliang Kingdom along the way. She walked all night, and finally at dawn, she reached a small village.
In the early morning, there is some fog in the mountains, smoke rises slowly in the villages, and occasionally you can hear dogs barking.
At this moment, Gu Qingying felt a sense of peace.
I walked into the village and knocked on the door of the first house.
The door opened and there was an old woman.
The old woman looked at Gu Qingying warily and said, "Girl, who are you looking for?"
Gu Qingying smiled gently and said: "Mother-in-law, I want to ask, is this the Beiliang Kingdom or the Tianyuan Kingdom?"
I just roughly identified the direction last night, but I didn't know if I was going the right way.
The old woman said: "This is Tianyuan Kingdom, not far from Yuncheng."
When she heard that it was not far from Yuncheng, Gu Qingying breathed a long sigh of relief.
After asking some more questions, Gu Qingying asked doubtfully: "Is there no one else in my mother-in-law's house?"
She was confused. She had been talking to the old woman for so long and no one came out to ask. Something was obviously wrong.
When the old woman heard this, she let out a long sigh and said: "My husband-in-law has been dead for more than ten years. When his only son heard that there was going to be a war, he took his wife and children to escape the war. I am old and don't want to bother anymore.
Just stay in the village and live day by day!"
Gu Qingying's heart was touched.
Beiliang Kingdom and Tianyuan Kingdom have been in peace for decades, and the sudden war is indeed...
And when there is a war, the people who really suffer are the people.
Especially for the people living on the border, there are rules when fighting between the two countries that do not disturb people's lives, but there are always some exceptions, and these are unavoidable.
It is normal for people to want to avoid war.
The more Gu Qingying thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt: "Mother-in-law, I'm hungry."
The old woman warmly invited Gu Qingying into the house.
The dilapidated yard was kept clean. As soon as he entered the main room, what Gu Qingying saw was a dilapidated home.
She is undoubtedly lucky.
She has never had a hard time since she came to this era, but the home in front of her still made her heart tremble.
In the small hall, there was only an old table and four stools.
As soon as Gu Qingying sat down, the old woman brought a bowl of porridge.
The porridge is very clear, only a few grains can be seen in it, and the rest are wild vegetables.
The old woman was a little embarrassed and said: "My family is poor, so the girl will eat a little."
Gu Qingying said: "Did mother-in-law only cook this one bowl?"
She does not want to eat this bowl of rice, but wants to see the situation of this family and want to help this family.
If you suddenly give grain to an old woman, she will definitely not accept it and will think that she has other intentions.
That's why she said she was hungry.
The old woman smiled kindly and said, "I'll cook something to eat later. The girl looks like she's in a hurry. Her skirt is torn. Eat quickly and don't worry about me."
Gu Qingying stood up, walked into the kitchen, took a bowl back from the stove, poured half a bowl of gruel, handed the drier half bowl to the old woman and said, "Mother-in-law, let's share it."
The old woman wanted to refuse, but Gu Qingying insisted, and the old woman finally ate it.
After eating, Gu Qingying asked: "Are there any young people in the village?"
The old woman shook her head and sighed: "No, there are no young people in the village. During the war, they took their children and left the village. Now the only ones left in the village are old people. We are old and can't walk anymore.
Live one day at a time, and everyone has made an appointment to take care of each other. If anyone wants to die, the living ones will dig a hole and bury the dead one."
This sounds so miserable.
When Gu Qingying was in Yuncheng, he saw that ordinary people lived a pretty good life, so he didn't care about it.
This is the first time she has had such close contact with ordinary people.
It was also the first time I felt how miserable the lives of ordinary people were.
He stood up and said, "Mother-in-law, I'm going to go get some things into the village. Just wait for me!"
After saying that, he ran out in a hurry.
I found a place with no people and entered the space, and selected two large bags of rice from the space.
She chopped a stick, found vines, and carried the sack into the village.
Entering the old woman's yard, she directly put the rice in the yard and said, "Mother-in-law, I drank your bowl of gruel. This is my gift to you. You must accept it."
The old woman didn't even look at what was in the sack. She waved her hands and said, "You can't do it! You can't do it, girl!"
She just gave Gu Qingying the gruel to drink, so how could she accept Gu Qingying's things? Moreover, the sack contained a lot of things. No matter what it was, its value must be greater than her half bowl of gruel.
Gu Qingying knew that the old woman was simple.
He opened the sack, revealing the snow-white rice and said, "Mother-in-law, you must accept it."
The old woman glanced at the rice in the sack and was so frightened: "Girl..."
