Chapter 459: Reconstruction of the Family on the Road to Escape
He Yunwang counted them and found that there were fifteen guards in the convoy. All of them were fat and strong, with swords on their waists. How dare those people from the escort agency fight against them with such a strong force?
"Brother, why are there only seven of you? Where are Changsheng and his sister-in-law?" Gu Mancang checked again and confirmed that there were no more people from the escort agency there.
Zhang Tongyi leaned against the tree, his fingers regaining strength. "There are only a few of us left. The rest," Zhang Tongyi paused here, "Ashan and Xiaoyong are dead. Changsheng and the others, we have different ideologies and cannot work together."
Zhang Tongyi was unwilling to say anything more.
Fan Shuigen was the first to wake up. He said, "My eldest brother didn't explain clearly. My eldest and second brothers' families are still waiting for us five miles ahead."
The escort agency members gradually recovered some of their strength, and He Yunwang went back to call Tao Chunhua and He Xingqing. Gu Mancang led them to leave the place overnight.
Gu Li was unable to stay with Gu Mancang this time.
She was carrying a heavy bag and walking laboriously at the end of the team, walking slower and slower.
While his old father was salvaging his brothers and uncles, Gu Li tore a large piece of cloth from the convoy's luggage and looted some good things.
He Yunwang looked around but didn't see the stubborn little figure. When he turned around, he found that the little guy was carrying a big bag and was like a snail, and had already distanced himself from them.
He Yunwang slowed down his pace and called out to his mother who was trying to catch up with Gu Mancang, "Mom, Xiao Li'er is still behind."
Tao Chunhua was stunned and quickly turned back.
"Xiao Li'er, where did you get this bag on your back?"
Gu Li rubbed her waist in annoyance. Finally someone cared about her. It was so heavy. "My waist is about to break!"
Tao Chunhua suddenly seemed possessed by evil spirits. She spat three times on the ground and gently hit Gu Li on the mouth with her hand, "Buddha, please don't be offended. Children speak without restraint."
He pointed at Gu Li's forehead and said seriously, "How can a child have a waist? Children don't have waists!"
The set of movements coordinated with the words were performed smoothly, as if it was done very well.
Gu Li was confused. Children don’t have waists?
So what is she rubbing with her hands?
He Xingqing stood there with his cane, looking at the dumbfounded Gu Li with a smile, and explained, "Children are not allowed to talk about waist."
Gu Li still didn't understand, but seemed to understand a little.
She didn't care anymore and took out a small bag from the big bag on her back, squeezed it, and put it back. Then she took out a bigger one, squeezed it, and stuffed it into Tao Chunhua's hand.
"Here, this is for you. Hide it quickly. This is my betrothal gift to you on behalf of my father!"
As soon as she got the small bundle, Tao Chunhua knew what was inside. "All, all for me?"
"Well, I'm glad you don't mind. When we get there, you can find a jewelry store and have them melted down and remade into the style you like."
"I, I can't have--"
"Oh, I must have it. I'm so tired that I can't even straighten my back. Take it away quickly." She didn't mind having too much gold and silver, but they were really heavy!
The small bag was pushed and shoved by the two men, and from inside there came the sound of gold, silver and jade colliding.
He Xingqing smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, please accept it. You can make a hairpin for Xiao Li'er later!"
"Oh." Tao Chunhua put down the backpack on her body, stuffed the small bag underneath again and again, and covered it with clothes again and again.
Gu Li didn't care anymore. She walked to He Xingqing with a smile and handed him a small bag wrapped in a handkerchief. The bag was bulging and the silver ingots inside were exposed.
"Uncle, this is the money I saved for you to marry me, please keep it!"
He Xingqing's smile froze on his face.
He Yunwang joked, "Uncle, this is a gift from Xiao Li'er, please accept it!"
Gu Li stuffed the things in her pocket, turned around and walked forward.
He Yunwang could see that this bad girl was a cold-faced but warm-hearted donkey. Once you caught her eye, she would repay you double the kindness.
He followed and tilted his head, "'Yao' is the same as 'yao'. Adults are very reluctant to use this word to refer to the younger generation in the family."
Was he explaining this to her?
Can Gu Li appreciate his kindness?
Gu Li snorted coldly, "It's no use trying to please me. You can't get the good stuff from me!"
He Yunwang was not angry, he just looked at her. His dark eyes were like a wolf that wanted to eat human flesh at night, and Gu Li suddenly thought of the bloody and pierced eye sockets.
My eyes hurt!
Gu Li ran away with the big bag on his back, "Dad, Dad, how could you forget about Xiao Li'er! Dad!"
He Yunwang touched his face. Was there blood splashed on his face?
Was the look in the bad girl's eyes just now showing fear and terror?
He Yunwang turned sideways and waited for his mother and uncle to catch up.
"Why are you standing there and not moving?"
There was no change in the mother's expression.
He Yunwang took out a bulging cloth bag from his arms and said, "Mom, this is what I picked up."
Not only Gu Li, but He Yunwang, who was finishing off the enemy, also did not miss out on the good stuff on the guards. Not only did he confiscate their money bags, he also picked up several sharp daggers.
He didn't dare to take the guard's sword, fearing that he would be discovered. He chose a more handy dagger and gave it to his uncle. He also put one on his waist and tied another on his calf. Even Tao Chunhua was given a dagger for self-defense.
Every move is as sharp as cutting through mud!
Tao Chunhua was overjoyed. She took it in her hand, weighed it, and returned it to He Yunwang. "Put the valuable things separately. I already have a big bag. You should keep this one."
He Xingqing pressed his bulging collar, feeling quite helpless, "Xiao Li'er probably meant the same thing, asking each of us to hide some money. She's such a smart and clever girl!"
Gu Mancang, who was leading the way, was so immersed in the surprise of finding his brothers that he did not notice that his daughter had fallen behind.
In the past, Gu Li would always follow him consciously, or ask He Yunwang to carry her on his back, and Gu Mancang never had to worry about anything.
Hearing his daughter's call, Gu Mancang quickly left his elder brother Zhang Tongyi and turned to look for his daughter.
Zhang Tongyi: -----
"Xiao Li'er, why are you carrying such a big bag?" It's no wonder that Gu Mancang was surprised. The big bag on Gu Li's back was half the size of her. There was also a small package tied in front of her that she had carried all the way, but it seemed to have become a little bigger.
In the past, when traveling, Gu Li would at most carry a small package containing silver and clothes. If she walked for a while, she would complain of being tired and ask He Yun to carry her on his back.
What's going on here?
"Hey, Xiao Li'er, why do you seem different?" Zhang Tongyi, who had just seen Gu Li, asked loudly.
Gu Li raised her big face, "Well, Uncle Tongyi has good eyes, you also found that I have become smarter!"
Zhang Tongyi: ------
Gu Mancang laughed out loud, "My little Li'er has always been very smart! The bite on her face was caused by some bug."
Gu Li was furious. "Humph, even bugs are jealous of my intelligence and beauty!"
"Pfft, hahaha." Several adults who were still weak looked at Gu Li and laughed.
Gu Li:-----
How come the truth she said could also be funny?
