Chapter VIII

Who knew that her hand was suddenly held, and there was a cold and rough touch. Mingshu was almost stunned for a moment, and her eyes were hot again.

Gu Huali was very silent, and just said lightly: "Come with me." ”

Mingshu followed him step by step.

Gu Huali did this very skillfully, and it didn't look like he grew up in the Houfu at all.

Mingshu watched him pick up dead branches, and thought that he might not be as miserable as she thought. It is impossible for a person to kill the Quartet in an instant, only after years of dormancy, accumulation can be a great minister.

On the surface, he is the concubine of Houfu, and he is in a difficult and miserable situation. But in fact, I'm afraid that I have already accumulated a lot of power.

Otherwise, how could a concubine who had been trapped in the inner house for many years have the ability to save her in the hands of robbers.

But she is now a seven-year-old girl, so she shouldn't understand this, and Mingshu simply stumbled to help pick up dead branches.

The two picked up a lot of dead branches and went back, Gu Huali lit them, took out the dry food from his body, roasted it with a little heat, and handed it to Mingshu.

Mingshu took the sesame cookcake that was bigger than her face, held it in both hands, and took a bite obediently, chewing a few bites like a small animal, and then taking another bite.

Gu Huali looked at her silently, and suddenly handed her a water bladder.

Mingshu was flattered and quickly whispered thanks.

The two had eaten, and it was completely dark.

Gu Huali took off his coat and spread it on the ground, looked at her, and said concisely: "Sleep." ”

Mingshu also wanted to take off her coat and spread it on the ground, but the delicate rhombus yarn had already been torn apart, and if the short jacket inside was taken off, only the underwear would be left.

After thinking about it, she planned to sit directly against the tree.

Who knew that Gu Huali pointed to the clothes spread on the ground and said, "Lie down and sleep." So he walked to the tree and sat down, leaning sideways to block most of the night breeze for Mingshu.

Mingshu felt that it was a little unreal, and after glancing at Gu Huali, she walked over and lay down, closing her eyes.

Except for the occasional whistling of the night wind and the crackling of firewood, the wilderness was eerily silent.

Mingshu never opened her eyes when she lay down, but she couldn't sleep. The scene of the tragic death of his parents in the daytime always comes to mind, and the tragic situation of the previous life is constantly sounded.

In the end, Mingshu still fell asleep.

When Gu Huali woke up, it was still midnight. A bright moon hung in the nine heavens, and the light was deserted.

The little girl curled up in a ball, frowning and sobbing slightly, trembling all over, and her face turned white as if she were terrified.

You don't have to think about it to know that the little girl is having nightmares.

Gu Huali patted the little girl, it was useless. He frowned at the trembling Mingshu, and finally took the little girl into his arms and gently lifted her on the back.

At night everything fell asleep, except for the whispering of the campfire.

When Mingshu woke up, she stared at the remnants of the ashes for a moment. She had nightmares for almost half of the night last night, although she was finally better.

It's just that why is Gu Huali holding her? Before falling asleep last night, the two of them obviously slept separately.

Gu Huali came to sleep lightly, and almost as soon as Mingshu woke up, he woke up.

But he pretended to be asleep, so he opened his eyes slowly and let go of the hand holding Mingshu.

"Fifth brother," Mingshu saw him wake up, and knew that he had disturbed him, a little embarrassed, "I, do you want to sleep for a while?" ”

But Gu Huali's eyes were clear, and he didn't look sleepy, he just lowered his eyes and brushed the corners of his wrinkled clothes, "No need." ”

Mingshu hurriedly got up, pulled the corners of her clothes indiscriminately, and grabbed two handfuls of her loose hair to make her hair more symmetrical.

And Gu Huali slept very well, and straightened out the clothes that were crumpled by Mingshu, and he was already refreshed. Looking at Mingshu's helpless appearance, I don't know if I can't see it, but I actually straightened the beads for her.

Mingshu blinked her eyes and simply ignored her hair.

Gu Huali looked at the distance, but he didn't know what he was looking at, "This place is not far from your grandfather's house, I'll take you to your grandfather's house." But he looked at Mingshu with inquiring eyes.

Mingshu nodded, and then turned pale.

In the previous life, the Li family hated Mingshu to the extreme.

How much they cherish the daughter of the Li family, and how much they dislike Mingshu after the death of the Li family.

In his previous life, because of Mingshu's illness, Li postponed his return to Huzhou for three days, but he happened to hit the wind and waves, and the passenger ship hit the reef in a hurry and sank. The Li family is the eyeball of the entire Li family, and when he got married, he emptied half of the Li family, and there were 200,000 taels of silver tickets in the press box alone, not to mention the furniture treasures of the shop grange.

In her previous life, Mingshu was frequently instigated by Mo Ju, and always felt that Li didn't care about herself, and when she was sick, she deliberately made trouble and wanted to provoke Li's concern.

But she made that awkward time, which happened to cause her parents to have no bones.

Mama Du mentioned the reason for the postponement when she went to the Li family to report the letter, but who knew that something happened just now, and the Li family thought that it was because of Mingshu's willfulness and disgusted Mingshu. Even if she was in an extremely difficult situation later, the Li family, the grandfather's family, has always only looked at it coldly.

And in this life, it was Mama Du who went to Li's house in advance to inform the arrival time, so that the Li family could pinch the time to greet her. Thinking about it, she also knew that she had to ask her mother to go by land......

Gu Huali didn't know this.

He bent down and picked up the little girl, put her on the horse, turned over on the horse himself, and commanded lightly: "Hold on to the horse's mane, and rush to your grandfather's house to report to the official." ”

The Li family is a big family in Huzhou, and it is bound to be more reliable for the Li family to report to the official than for the two children to report to the official.

Mingshu nodded, the two of them didn't care about resting, and ran all the way to Li's house.

Mingshu didn't remember what the Li family looked like, looking at the Li Mansion, which was a little richer than the Pingxi Hou Mansion, she felt a burst of fear in her heart, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Gu Huali felt that the little girl was scared, so he quietly took a step forward and led the little girl forward.

The little maid at the door listened to Gu Huali's words, and looked at the two of them suspiciously, "How could my cousin come by herself?" "Don't be a beggar from somewhere.

At this time, a drunken old servant walked over, glanced at the two of them randomly, picked up a stick and threw it at the two of them, "Let's go, where did you come from!" ”

The stick smashed directly at Mingshu's body, Gu Huali looked cold, grabbed the stick, and said coldly: "If you really make a mistake, I'm afraid that your life is not enough to compensate." ”

Mingshu bit her lip, stepped forward, ripped off the mutton fat jade pendant on her neck, and said, "Show it to your old lady." After a pause, he almost collapsed and shouted, "Hurry up!" ”

Tears rained down, and my body couldn't help but tremble.

Gu Huali watched the little guy hurry in coldly, and then lowered his eyes to look at Mingshu, who was crying heavily, but didn't say anything.

After a while, a mother-in-law stumbled over and cried out, "Cousin, tell the old lady what is going on!" ”
