Chapter 88: Kind Girl
"It's a pity that I don't have clothes you can wear, otherwise, it doesn't hurt to send you a few sets, it's autumn now, and it will be very cold after nightfall, you wear so little, beware of getting cold." Cui'er looked at Gu Yi sympathetically, she saw that Gu Yi was only wearing a thin shirt, and it was tattered, and his body was thin, and the ribs between his chest and abdomen were faintly visible.
He had a filthy face, but his eyebrows were clear, his eyes were bright, and he was obviously not very old.
It's pitiful that you can't eat enough and don't have enough clothes at such a young age. Cui'er thought to herself.
Hearing her say this, Gu Yi couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart, and smiled lightly: "It's okay." ”
"Well, you eat so well, if it's not enough, go over there and serve it, no one dares to say anything about you. Cui'er clapped her hands and stood up, and went to serve Madame and Mademoiselle again.
After a night of silence, the convoy set off again the next day.
For two days in a row, Gu Yi stayed in the convoy, sitting next to that old Wu during the day, watching him whip and drive the horse, and when he was resting, the maid Cui'er would sometimes come over to say a few words to him.
In two days, through chatting with Cui'er, Gu Yi also learned their whereabouts.
About three days away, there was a city called Haicheng, and it was there that they were headed. This group of people is from Tongzhou, which is a small force there.
However, half a year ago, the lord of the family died, and the lady took the young lady to Haicheng to join one of the master's close friends.
Cui'er was vague about these things, obviously not daring to say too much, but Gu Yi also deduced something from them.
No one wants to drag their families and leave their homes, especially orphans and widows, who have traveled thousands of miles, experienced risks and worries, and if there is no last resort, where would they make such a choice?
Gu Yi estimated that the master of this family must have offended many people in Tongzhou during his lifetime. As soon as he died, Mrs. and Miss had no support, so they naturally had to go away.
And traveling with the convoy, these large numbers of warriors also confirmed Gu Yi's inference. According to Cui'er, half of these warriors were cultivated by her master during his lifetime, after his death. is still willing to contribute. The escort lady and lady had a safe journey, and they only waited for the place to return to Tongzhou, and some of them were hired for money.
Along the way, I encountered a lot of robbers. But all of them turned evil into good fortune, but fortunately there was no loss.
Gu Yi also inquired a little about the situation in Haicheng from Cui'er, but Cui'er herself had never been there. Naturally, I don't know very well, but I heard my wife say that this is a coastal city, with a scenery that is different from the mainland.
The city by the sea! Gu Yi was also a little curious. If it weren't for this comprehension footwork, Gu Yi estimated that he would not have been able to walk such a long distance, he knew the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the southernmost was the endless sea.
If Cui'er said so, then Haicheng. It is the southernmost city of the Han Dynasty.
With some expectations in mind, Gu Yi continued to walk with the team.
Although the image is very sloppy, Gu Yi didn't take care of it, this group of people has preconceived ideas, and they regard themselves as little beggars, and if they take care of it, they suddenly become handsome. It will only arouse suspicion.
In the past two days, what Gu Yi did the most was to observe the movements of Wu Lao, who was driving the car, and he found that when the old man was driving the horse, he shook the horsewhip with an indescribable charm.
The whip is silent, and the amplitude is not large. But it can make the horses scatter their hooves and gallop.
His strength is only in the True Yuan Realm, which is not very high. But after all, his age is here, and he has his own precipitation and understanding of martial arts, and these are all contained in his whiplash movements.
Gu Yi was fascinated by it, and combined with his perception of footwork a few days ago, he faintly felt some similarities.
Wu Lao didn't care about him, he flicked his whip to himself, occasionally drank a sip of spirits, and the old and the young sat on the wheel, and they wouldn't say a word all day.
In the evening of that day, the convoy stopped again.
Gu Yi got out of the car, stayed away from the crowd, found a secluded place to sit down as usual, plucked a weed from the ground, and shook it casually.
The warriors of the entire convoy didn't like him very much. No one would like a beggar, if it weren't for the kindness of the young lady of this family, where would they take Gu Yi with them?
After a while, footsteps sounded behind him, and without looking back, Gu Yi knew who it was.
"Hey, little beggar. The voice of the maid Cui'er came.
Gu Yi smiled bitterly, rubbed his forehead and said, "I told you my name, can't you change your name?"
The three words of the little beggar really don't really like it.
"Little brat!" Cui'er glanced at him, flipped her palm, took out two chestnuts, handed one to Gu Yi, and picked up the other one and peeled it off.
This girl often takes some snacks out to share with Gu Yi during breaks, Gu Yi is a little confused about her poor beggar, why she is not disgusted.
Later, I asked and found out that Cui'er had a younger brother, but then starved to death, and the two sisters and brothers also begged, and were later taken in by Mrs. Miss.
Gu Yi looks about the same age as her dead brother, so naturally she won't hate it.
"Where did you steal food from your young lady again?" Gu Yi rolled his eyes.
Cui'er glared: "Where did you steal it?" This is given to me by Miss, and Miss treats me well." Whatever you have to eat, you'll get a little bit of it. ”
"Then why don't you stay and serve her?" Gu Yi peeled the chestnut and stuffed it into his mouth.
"The young lady and the lady were tired from the journey, and said that they wanted to rest and rest, so I would not have to serve. Cui'er replied, after speaking, her eyes wandered, she glanced at Gu Yi and said, "Little beggar, what are you going to do when you get to Haicheng?"
"I don't know, let's walk around. Gu Yi shook his head.
Cui'er pursed her lips: "It's so nice, isn't it just a broken bowl and begging everywhere? ”
Gu Yi smiled and didn't explain.
"That's it, you can follow us, anyway, when we get to Haicheng, we must also recruit some people, I think you are quite smart and clever, it will definitely not be too bad to be a little girl, how about it? With my guarantee, Mrs. and Miss will definitely be fine, and when you save some money, maybe you can please a good wife!" Cui'er said demagoguingly.
She was born quite charming, and her posture was not bad, and the expression on her face was very ambiguous when she spoke like this, which added to the sense of seductiveness.
Gu Yi agreed: "Okay." If only I could get a wife like you. ”
Cui'er covered her mouth and chuckled: "You beggar, you are really necrotic." You deserve to beg for the rest of your life, but I have to think carefully about whether I should lure the wolf into the house. ”
"You really have to think about it. Gu Yi looked solemn.
He just casually agreed, he came out this time because of his experience, and he couldn't go to other people's houses to be a small servant. But if you refuse now, you have to use some verbal explanations.
"Okay, I'm not talking nonsense with you, I've never seen a beggar like you. Cui'er glanced at Gu Yi. He stood up lazily and said, "In one more day, we will be able to reach Haicheng." You can rest tonight, I'm tired, I won't come to help you eat later. ”
"Yes. Gu Yi nodded. In the past few days, every time it was time to eat, Cui'er came to help him with it, because he was afraid that he would be bullied by that group of warriors.
Saw Cui'er enter the third carriage. Gu Yi continued to shake the withered grass in his hand, trying to find the feeling of Wu Lao.
After a while, the meal was ready, and with a shout, many warriors rushed over together.
Gu Yi also stood up and walked towards that side, but before he could take a few steps, a person made a mistake and blocked in front of Gu Yi.
Look up. Gu Yizheng saw the middle-aged man that day, staring at him with a gloomy face.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yi frowned.
"Get out, there's no food for you tonight!" The middle-aged man looked at Gu Yi with disdain, his voice was low, and there was a threat in his eyes.
A sneer appeared on the corner of Gu Yi's mouth and looked at him quietly.
"Good eyes. The middle-aged man nodded slightly, and threatened again: "But if you want to die." I can fulfill you, too. ”
Gu Yi didn't speak, turned around and sat back.
He didn't want to clash with these people, no matter what, he was taken in, and Cui'er treated him well. There's no need to make a fuss over a dinner.
Eat one less meal and starve to death.
"You know each other!" the middle-aged man snorted coldly.
I don't know if it's a delusion. The moment Gu Yi turned around, he seemed to see that his expression was a little relaxed.
This change of expression. Gu Yi's heart suddenly suddenly, and a faint bad feeling was born, and he called out to the earth demon, making him vigilant, and he looked at the surrounding environment again.
This look made Gu Yi even more suspicious.
Although it is as wild as the place where you usually rest, it is even more desolate. There are some traces left by some people walking in the place where they usually rest, but this is definitely a ghost place that no one cares about.
To put it mildly, the most suitable thing here is to kill people and throw corpses.
Gu Yi was a little suspicious.
Looking up at the sky, it was pitch black, the wind was whistling, it was the moon and the wind was high, killing people and setting fire to the sky.
On the other side, many warriors are snatching food, chatting and laughing, although Wu Lao is a chauffeur, but his status is definitely not low, because at this moment someone is serving him food, he has been sitting on the side of the car, drinking and looking at the sky, old and long, and his figure is gloomy.
After a while, everyone was full of wine and food, and what Gu Yi had been worried about did not happen, and he couldn't help laughing at himself for being too sensitive.
After eating, a group of people chatted for a while, and under the sip of the middle-aged man, a few were left to watch the night, and more sat around the fire and slept in their clothes.
