Chapter Forty-Nine: Desperate Survival

Since Gu Qingcheng stuffed the cotton in the futon into her clothes, when she fell asleep, in order to keep her warmer, she used the cotton jacket she sewed as a bedding. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At night, she heard the sound of rustling in this wing, which she had not noticed before, but now she was the only one living in this remote wing, and the sound was particularly obvious.

Gu Tingcheng came up with a lot of pictures, and the ghost movies she watched in modern times are still vivid, maybe after this sound appears, a female ghost in white will appear next to her bed, the more she thinks about it, the more frightened she feels, and she quickly covers her head with a futon and falls asleep.

In the middle of the night, the movement became louder and louder, Gu Tingcheng's heart trembled, other insects and ants would not make her panic so much, but she Gu Tingcheng was afraid of ghosts, if a ghost suddenly jumped out, wouldn't it scare her to the core, and shout that the sky should not be in the ground, and the earth and the earth would not work.

The sound was too loud, Gu Qingcheng curled up in bed and still didn't dare to fall asleep, she put on a coat and got up, lit the candle, she was bold enough to pick up the candlestick and walk towards the sound, instead of being afraid, it was better to investigate it.

The candle flame shone at the back of the wing, and Gu Qingcheng didn't find anything unusual, but the sound was still there, she touched the wall with her hand, and it didn't seem to find anything strange, and a female ghost suddenly appeared in front of her. The winter nights were cold, and she gritted her teeth and endured the cold and touched the walls, she had a hunch that the problem was probably on the walls.

She walked forward while knocking on the wall, and suddenly there was a hole in the wall where her hand touched, the hole was the size of her two fists, and the black hole looked a little oozing in the middle of the night, Gu Qingcheng plucked up his courage and shone the candle flame at the hole, and a few gray things were quickly thrown out of the hole.

Gu Tingcheng was startled, and hurriedly took a few steps back, waiting for her to shine on the ground with the candle flame, and found that the few running little things turned out to be mice, and she came to a conclusion that the movements at night were all made by these mice.

"Hey, when people are down, they really bully even mice." Gu Qingcheng shook his head and said, and then looked at the ground where the mouse had left some scattered things, she leaned down and touched it with her hand, the look in her eyes was very surprised.

"It's rice, and there's rice hidden in the mouse's hole." She was very excited, and quickly took the candle to shine inside, and found that this mouse hole was larger, and her arm could not be completely reached to the end, she remembered what the old people had said in modern times, and when there was a shortage of food, go to the mouse hole to find it, maybe there will be rice, Gu Tingcheng didn't expect this statement to be true, and immediately smiled.

She took a long rod and opened the mouse hole, and drove out all the rats inside, and then she took out a little bit of rice, and she brought a ceramic vessel with rice, and it was also full of ceramics.

After all, it was rice taken out of the rat hole, Gu Qingcheng's soul is a modern person, of course she knows the importance of cleanliness, and she is going to take out the rice to dry when the sun is out.

Looking at the ceramic vessel full of jars of rice, she was so happy that she could hardly sleep, since the attendants did not give her extra food, then she cooked in an abandoned small room next to the wing room, just go and pick up some firewood, thinking of this, she wrapped her coat tightly and prepared to go to the stove room to get some firewood and a small pot, during the day there were people in the stove room she could not enter, only to take advantage of this time of night to sneak into the stove room quietly.

The wind at night was very cold, blowing like a knife across Gu Qingcheng's face, and she buried her head as low as possible and covered her exposed face with her sleeves.

She walked in, only to see that it was pitch black inside the stove room, Gu Tingcheng lit the fire, carefully picked up the firewood, in order to load as much as possible, she filled her body pockets and sleeves with firewood, this time she was finally able to pay attention to the benefits of the ancients' long clothes and robes, it was indeed very convenient to load things.

There are many pots and pans on the stove, in order not to make others suspicious, Gu Qingcheng deliberately chose the smallest pot and bowl and a pair of chopsticks, she can't guarantee how good she eats, but she at least wants to ensure that she doesn't starve to death in the last twenty days.

It was already late at night after all this, and she was glad that no one had found her, perhaps because it was too cold, and the palace guards had taken refuge in warmer places.

She put all the firewood and pots and pans in the remote room next to her, found a safe corner and hid them, and then returned to the wing. The snow on the coat began to melt and became wet, Gu Qingcheng hurriedly took off the coat, lit the charcoal fire that he was reluctant to use, and dried the coat with his hand.

As soon as the charcoal fire was lit, it drove away the cold in Gu Qingcheng's body, although the days were very difficult, but it could be regarded as a joy in the bitterness, and she felt very satisfied to be able to find some rations to survive the most difficult days.

"Lord, I said that I will take good care of myself, and when I marry the king of Anqing, I will naturally help you investigate his situation, and the concubines in the palace are really hateful, I have never been bullied like this, and the attendants in the palace see that I am now nameless and undivided, and they also oppress me like grass on the wall." She said in a sonorous voice, "But how can I Gu Qingcheng be the one who easily admits defeat, everything they gave me, I must return it again in the future." ”

It wasn't until after the clothes were dried that Gu Tingcheng extinguished the charcoal fire, went back into the bed and fell asleep, this sleep was very full, this was the most solid sleep she had since she came to Anqing Palace.

Sometimes people always want things to come true, Gu Tingcheng this time is no exception, the next day there was a big sun, she found a long cloth and put it in a place where the sun could be basked, spread out the rice in the jar one by one, she moved a stool to guard next to the rice, in case someone came, she could put these things away quickly.

Gu Qingcheng was a little nervous, secretly praying in her heart that no one would lean over, she just sat on the chair, and quickly stood up and watched the movements around nervously, she had a feeling that she was not a thief, but she was like a thief.

When the rice on the ground was hot and she felt about the same, she immediately picked up the rice back into the jar and quickly put away the cloth.

After doing all this, Gu Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, holding the jar of rice in her arms like a baby, and she muttered to herself: "I won't be hungry now." ”

She didn't dare to put the jar in a place that was too obvious, so she searched around the room and finally found a ventilated place that was not very noticeable.

After everything was done, Gu Qingcheng clapped his hands, and then hummed a little song, with a very happy expression on his face.
