Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 444: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape

The wound on her tongue was so painful that Gu Li had to grit her teeth and take a deep breath every time she drank a mouthful of porridge. It took her half a day to finish a bowl of porridge.

Looking at the big-butt mule in front of the cart, Gu Li asked with a big tongue: "Is this my mule?"

"Well, from now on, if Xiaoli'er is tired, just rest on the cart."

Although mules are not as valuable as horses, they are definitely more suitable than horses for escaping famine. They can eat whatever they want, can carry a lot of things, and can walk on any path!

Gu Li generously gave her father a thumbs up and praised him sincerely, "Daddy, you are awesome."

Gu Mancang, who was praised by his daughter, smiled with a big white tooth, and handed the bowl back to Tao Chunhua with a chuckle.

The stupidity popped up from his head and was almost solidified.

How could a father be so happy when being praised by his daughter?

Why do I feel that the father and daughter of the Gu family are not like a father, and the daughter is not like a daughter.

He Yunwang: "Flatterer."

He Yunwang glanced away with disdain, and happened to meet He Xingqing's gaze which was looking at him. He Yunwang turned his head to the other side uncomfortably.

It happened that Tao Chunhua was also looking at him.

He Yunwang: -----

Although the forest where they rested was not close to the main road, it was not too far away. As soon as the sky was gray, refugees began to pass by on the road.

The aroma of rice porridge and the mouth-watering smell of meat wafted over the camp, attracting passers-by to look around.

If they were not so numerous and had not been suppressed by the piles of corpses of horse bandits, some of them would have taken the risk and come to steal things.

Those pickled and dried horse meat are rare delicacies.

Gu Mancang also got a piece of horse meat. They didn't have much salt, not enough to pickle the horse meat, so Tao Chunhua simply cooked it and baked it by the fire overnight to make jerky.

Today they will continue on their journey.

In the middle of summer, the bodies of the bandits would soon rot and stink, and improper handling could easily lead to an epidemic, so they had to leave immediately.

Before leaving, the village chief ordered the villagers to carry a lot of dry grass and branches to cover the corpses of the bandits and set them on fire. The dry weather and dry firewood caught fire immediately.

Gu Mancang's family didn't have much belongings, so they were all packed up and piled on the cart, leaving some space left, just enough for He Xingqing to sit or lie down on.

Gu Mancang was a rough man in terms of living. When there were so many new things in the house, he only hesitated for a moment and accepted them without even asking.

This left Gu Li and Tao Chunhua with nowhere to say what they had prepared.

Gu Li made a small space at the front of the car and sat on it with her butt sticking out.

Now that everyone has a car, Gu Li is unwilling to walk.

"Xiao Li'er, sit tight, let's go!"

"Dad, let's go!" Gu Li waved her little hand with heroic spirit!

Gu Mancang gripped the handlebars with both hands, exerted force with his strong arms, veins bulged on his dark skin, and he felt extremely safe.

"Dad, you are really amazing. You push the cart without any shaking. It is very stable." Thinking of how Tao Chunhua pushed her so hard last night that she almost fell off the cart, Gu Li crossed her legs and half-lying with her back against the big backpack, "Look, I can sleep like this without falling off!"

Gu Mancang laughed so hard that his teeth were showing and he walked more steadily. "Xiao Li'er, if you feel sleepy, just sleep for a while. Even if you fall, Daddy can catch you!"

"Dad won't let Xiaoli'er fall to the ground."

Gu Li clapped her hands with great emotion. All the praises she gave could be summed up in one sentence: "Daddy, you are awesome!"

He Yunwang, who was following behind the father and daughter, was almost irritated by the bragging they were doing. How on earth did this little devil do it?

That little mouth can be so sweet that it can drown you in sweetness, and the next moment it can be so spicy that it can choke you to death!

Tao Chunhua looked at her son strangely and asked softly, "Ayun, what's wrong with you?"

No one knows a child better than his mother. It was not difficult for Tao Chunhua to see the discord between the two children. The girl from the Gu family just hated them and was unwilling to pay attention to them.

But He Yunwang provoked Gu Li several times, making the girl angry.

This was not at all something her son would do.

It’s true that the son doesn’t want anyone to replace his father’s position, but it seems that He Yunwang doesn’t seem to be resistant to Gu Mancang.

Calling him uncle all the time.

He Yunwang had a stern face, revealing the youthfulness that should be present at this age, "I just don't like her, as if I owe her something."

Tao Chunhua opened her mouth and wanted to say that they were now dependent on Gu Mancang for their livelihood, so they owed her something.

But Tao Chunhua couldn't bear to say such words to hurt her son's spine. She sighed, pulled her son's hand that once held a pen but now held an axe, and gently reminded him: "Xiao Li'er is not a bad person. She didn't keep the things she found and gave them to me without asking any questions. She is still young, so you should be more tolerant of her."

Gu Li is not someone you can easily mess with, and she is Gu Mancang's darling, so you can't always go against her.

He Yunwang pursed his lips, turned his head away without saying a word.

Where Tao Chunhua couldn't see, the corners of He Yunwang's stretched mouth curled up slightly, but were quickly suppressed again.

Judging from the way his mother is always on guard against Gu Li, their makeshift family will break up sooner or later.

Now, it was his mother's turn to worry that he would not be able to get along with the little devil, and she took the initiative to persuade him.

Tao Chunhua's defense was easily replaced by worry.

Gu Mancang followed the people from Shi'ao Village and hurried on the journey. Before the sun rose completely, the large group moved very fast.

Gu Mancang, who had his back to the forest, didn't see it, but Gu Li, who was sitting upside down, did. Some of the refugees who caught up with them from behind went down the main road into the forest, while others used branches to light the fire and pull things out.

Smelling the smell of burnt meat in the air, Gu Li leaned on the backpack and closed her eyes.

He Yunwang looked back, then calmly moved closer to the cart, blocking Gu Li's view from looking back.

Soon the forest over there was left behind and could no longer be seen.

It was not known whether they were walking too fast or the others were walking too slowly. Along the way, they kept encountering slow-moving refugees, staring at them eagerly.

There are also those who want to sneak into the team from time to time.

Gu Mancang was pushing a cart in the middle of the team.

After walking for a whole morning, everyone was exhausted from the sun, and Gu Li was no exception. After all the flattery, she was so dry-mouthed.

He held the bamboo tube around his waist several times but was reluctant to take it off to drink a sip of water.

In the previous life, Gu Li was in a daze all the way because of illness, and her memory was unclear. She didn’t know how long it would take to find water.

If there is no water, they will be unable to move forward sooner or later.

Suddenly there was a commotion ahead and the team quickly stopped.

"What happened ahead?"
