Pinch your waist: Your husband has a beauty mark

Chapter 1823 More Terrible Than Guessed

"But..." Yang Yi still felt something was wrong and wanted to say something, but Mu Qinian had already quickened his pace and caught up with the person in front.

Yang Yi had no choice but to swallow all the words back into his stomach.

Then, should we tell Miss Xi that King Xuan was knocked off the cliff and disappeared?

……

Wujiangnan was indeed a very backward little place. The people's lives were already difficult, and after the arrival of those bandits, their lives became even more miserable.

After nightfall, there are basically no ordinary people on the streets.

Every household locked their wooden doors, for fear of accidentally offending thieves. If the thieves targeted them, then everyone in their family would be in trouble.

Gu Yunxi and her family lived in two separate farmhouses.

At first, the family was unwilling to receive them. Even though they gave them money, everyone was nervous and afraid of getting into trouble.

But later, seeing that they were indeed generous and that the girl was fair and clean and did not look like a bad person, they were reluctant to accept it.

The two families are brothers and live next to each other.

Yang Yi and Mu Qinian lived in another house, while Gu Yunxi and Nangong Chu lived in the big house with their mute slave.

It was said to be big, but in fact it was just a shabby house. The owner vacated his own room for them, but it was just one room.

Gu Yunxi slept on the bed, while Ya Nu and Nangong Chu just sat on the ground to rest.

"I'm so sorry, we don't have much to eat at home. I'll ask my old man to go to the market to buy some noodles tomorrow morning and make steamed buns for you."

The old lady brought in a small pot of white porridge. She had made it on her own initiative. Gu Yunxi had not asked for anything. She only gave the money because she wanted to stay overnight.

But the old lady felt that the money was too much and it was not worth it for them to stay overnight, so she took the initiative to make some white porridge for them.

In order not to arouse suspicion, Gu Yunxi only gave a small amount of silver, but she didn't know that this small amount of silver was enough for the old lady and her husband to eat for three months.

"You are so polite, ma'am."

Gu Yunxi hurried over, took the porridge that the old lady had served, and handed it to Nangong Chu who was sitting on the ground.

Although they were sitting on the ground, the old lady had laid a quilt for them, so it was not really like they were sitting directly on the ground.

The old lady served Gu Yunxi a second bowl. Gu Yunxi couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, why are there only some elderly people here? Where are all the young people?"

"Young man..." The old lady paused, her eyes suddenly becoming moist.

"Young man..."

But she still didn't finish her words. She handed the bowl to Gu Yunxi, and her expression obviously became not so good.

Gu Yunxi brought the bowl of porridge to the mute slave, who held it and sat aside, drank it in one breath, and returned the bowl to her.

The old lady served another bowl, and Gu Yunxi gave it all to the mute slave.

The mute slave started eating slowly, as if the topic they were talking about had nothing to do with him. He didn't care about what was happening outside.

Nangong Chu was still looking at the old lady, waiting for her to continue.

The old lady hesitated for a long time before she said, "I... I originally had a son and a daughter..."

Gu Yunxi's heart tightened, and suddenly, she seemed to have guessed something, but she didn't want to guess.

I feel inexplicably heavy.

Finally, the old lady said in a hoarse voice: "Some evil thieves came to the town. My son was beaten to death, and my daughter... my daughter was taken away by them. Now... I don't know whether she is dead or alive. They occupied the government office, and now the whole government office is theirs."
