Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 455: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape

Gu Li waved away He Yunwang who was in the way with disdain and looked up and down at the boy who was leaning against the tree trunk and was about the same age as He Yunwang. "Who are you?"

The boy's face was full of vigilance. "I, I am not a refugee. I am a villager of Shixi Village. You can't do anything to me. There are garrisons guarding the entrance of our village! If my parents can't find me, they will definitely ask the garrison to look for me."

Gu Li waved her hands, smiling like a wolf grandmother, "Hey, little brother, don't be afraid, we don't eat people, we are good people!"

Along the way, no one except Gu Mancang could get a smile from Gu Li. From her flattering look, one could tell what the bad girl was up to.

He Yunwang just wanted to hold her forehead with her hand. Did she know that her fawning face looked like a malicious beggar?

"There are a lot of refugees here. Don't hang around here for no reason. Go home early!" Gu Mancang saw that this was a child who was not threatening. He had no intention of talking about the children and turned back to help Tao Chunhua deal with the rabbit.

But Gu Li didn't want to let him go.

She leaned closer to the boy and said, "Little brother, my father and I wandered here from far away Yazhou. We encountered bandits, riots, and robberies on the way, and most of our belongings were lost."

The boy avoided Gu Li's attention and shrank back, "My family isn't rich!"

"Little brother, I have money, can I ask you to buy something?"

He Yunwang felt his teeth ache when Gu Li kept calling him "little brother". He stared at Gu Li's smiling eyes that curved into crescents and turned his head away in disgust.

"I know that the little brother is a good person just like us. I fell asleep under the big tree just now, and you didn't do anything bad to me. I believe you!" Gu Li took out a handful of copper coins from her sleeve pocket and stuffed them into the boy's hand.

"I haven't eaten anything salty for a long time. Can you help me get some salt? Don't worry, this copper coin is for my errands. When I get salt, I will pay you extra money. My father has money."

"Okay, wait a minute." The boy clenched the copper coin tightly and agreed, "Is there anything else you want?"

"Shoes!" Gu Li answered immediately, "I want shoes."

Gu Li pulled Gu Mancang over and asked him to lift his big feet to show the boy the size of the shoes. "If you can get a few more pairs!"

"Okay, I got it." The boy ran into the woods and soon disappeared.

The Shixi Village that the boy mentioned was not far from here. When Gu Li and his companions entered the valley, they saw the entrance to the village guarded by garrisons.

Not long after, the boy came back stealthily with the backpack on his back.

The villagers had heard too many rumors about refugees robbing and burning villages, killing people and eating their flesh, so they usually stayed away when they saw refugees passing by. This was why Gu Li had no chance to exchange supplies with others along the way.

The boy was curious and hid in the tree to watch the refugees crossing the border, but he met Gu Li.

Also made a small fortune.

The boy brought a lot of things.

He brought not only salt, but also several sets of clothes of different sizes, and only one pair of shoes that looked worn, two chipped earthenware jars, and a bag of millet.

To Gu Li's surprise, he also brought a jar of liquid saltpeter for nitrifying furs.

The rabbit skin that was about to stinky in her bag was saved.

"Wow, little brother, you are so kind."

Although she didn't bring the shoes that Gu Li wanted most, which Gu Mancang could wear, she still praised them highly.

He turned to Tao Chunhua and shouted, "Aunt, give my brother some copper coins!"

Before the boy came, they had agreed to pay only with copper coins so as not to let others know that they had silver on them.

The refugees' living conditions are good, but they can't help but be on guard against people with bad intentions. Also, if the garrison or nearby villagers know that their family is rich, then it's not just the villagers who are afraid of the refugees.

Tao Chunhua took out two strings of copper coins and stuffed them into the boy's hand while hiding them. "Be careful, don't let anyone find out and snatch them away."

The boy said quickly: "It's okay, my father and my elder and second brothers are all guarding in the woods!"

Several people pretended not to hear. Gu Li turned over the pair of shoes and asked, "Is there really no pair of shoes that my father can wear? If your family doesn't have any, can you ask other families in the village to buy some? I'll give you money for running errands!"

The old father standing by was so moved that his nose was sore.

Daughters are still better, they are considerate.

"I'm sorry, we country people are quite fond of shoes, and this is the only pair of shoes in my house that is still good enough. How about I go back and ask for you?" The boy put two strings of heavy copper coins in his pocket and wanted to go back immediately.

Gu Mancang: "No need, we have to leave soon, it's good enough to have these things."

The boy ran away without even taking the backpack.

The only pair of shoes in the backpack happened to fit He Yunwang's feet!

Gu Li:-----

It really pissed her off.

He Yunwang changed his cloth shoes that were open at the front and back, and walked back and forth in front of Gu Li. Just when Gu Li couldn't help but curse, he said, "Wait until Wu Feng comes, I'll give you a new pair of shoes!"

Gu Li turned her face away and ignored him.

Is this about a pair of shoes?

The roasted rabbit was so delicious because of the salt. Gu Li and He Yunwang were supposed to have one rabbit leg each, but He Yunwang didn't eat it and gave it to Gu Li.

Gu Li:-----

"Did you poison this leg?" Gu Li looked at the rabbit leg held in front of her in confusion.

He Yunwang frowned, withdrew his hand, and opened his mouth to bite.

Gu Li pounced, pressed down his hand, and snatched the rabbit leg away, "You gave it to me, it's mine!"

With a turn of his wrist, the rabbit leg was brought to Gu Mancang's mouth, "Dad, eat the rabbit leg. It's so delicious!" Gu Li licked the salty oil stains on the corner of his mouth and put the rabbit leg directly into Gu Mancang's mouth.

The old father was so moved that his nose was tearing up again. Just as he was about to say that he didn't like rabbit legs, his mouth was filled with rabbit legs as soon as he moved his lips.

"Dad, it's all sticky with your saliva, so you are the only one who can eat it!" Gu Li smiled cunningly.

Gu Li had already figured out her father's tricks!

Gu Mancang took the rabbit leg, took a bite, and his eyes turned red. He turned his head away so that no one could see him, but saw Tao Chunhua looking at him with a smile, "Eat it, this is a gift from your child, don't let it down!"

Gu Mancang sniffed and started eating with big mouthfuls.

My daughter gave it to me, it tastes delicious!
