Chapter 485: The Second Daughter of the Heroine of Niang Daowen (2)
Chapter 485: The Second Daughter of the Heroine of Niang Daowen (2)
Qiu Pan'er has a rather delicate appearance, but she is the heroine in the book after all, and she is also very beautiful.
She looked so pitiful when she cried, and she was pregnant, so everyone couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.
However, some people are still dissatisfied with the family man's behavior of staying out of the matter.
"We can go, but your family can't just stand there and watch. And if we leave this mountain, we have to unite. Everyone here, regardless of gender, age or status, must do their part, otherwise don't blame us for being cruel."
The Gu family was moved. If they were left here, they would just be waiting to die.
Madam Gu pushed her eldest son and said, "Go, go look outside with the second son, don't let outsiders laugh at us."
Boss Gu stood up, cursing. Seeing that his brother and son didn't move, he kicked them: "Hurry up, don't waste time!"
Gu Jingping irritably threw down the book in his hand, and his complaints towards his wife and daughter reached a climax.
"You useless piece of trash who only gives birth to money-losing things to make me unhappy!" If the baby was still a girl, he would have to divorce Qiu Pan'er.
A few people got up and followed the others. They saw that everyone else was wearing straw raincoats except them, and they immediately became unhappy.
"Where's the raincoat! Find it quickly! Do you want us to run outside in the rain?" Gu Jingping yelled at Qiu Paner.
Qiu Paner bit her lower lip and explained in a low voice: "There were three raincoats in the house, and they are all gone..."
Gu Jingping was so angry that he glared: "When I find these two girls, I will break their legs!"
Qiu Pan'er wanted to make amends for her daughter, but she couldn't find an excuse at the moment, let alone let her disobey her husband, so she had to follow behind with a sad face.
They wanted to borrow a raincoat from someone else, but the Gu family was not well-received and no one was willing to lend it to them. They had no choice but to leave the cave in the rain.
This search lasted a whole day.
I didn't see the two girls and the old lady, but I did catch a few rabbits.
It was also confirmed that it was indeed the two daughters of the Gu family who stole things from the house and fled Qishan with the old lady.
In a long and narrow cave, they found traces of raft making and some leftover bones.
The entrance to the cave should have been filled with thorns and weeds, which were now trampled to pieces. Although the rain had washed away traces of footprints, some clues could still be found.
Some torn pieces of clothing were still hanging on the branches.
"I didn't expect the two girls to be so bold. I really misjudged them."
"You are quite clever and can make a raft. We can do the same. We can't stay in Qishan for long. The towns below are all submerged. If we don't go north, we will be flooded here sooner or later."
"You're right. Let's go north to the capital. It's under the feet of the emperor. You can definitely find a place to eat there."
"While the rain is still light, let's make more rafts. There is strength in numbers. If we are alone, we will be easily bullied. I suggest that we head north together!"
"I agree!"
"I support!"
No one cared where the two girls from the Gu family had taken the old lady; everyone just wanted to leave.
Only the Gu family sat in the corner, at a loss.
Gu Jingping and three other people were soaked and shivering as they sat by the fire.
The same went for Qiu Pan'er, whose chest was covered with blood, but she was still taking care of her husband, either wiping his face or handing him hot water.
I also have to endure the complaints from my family.
Mrs. Gu had been scolding her for a quarter of an hour.
Qiu Pan'er was filled with shame. She didn't care where her daughters had gone. She was just angry that they had taken away the money and food they needed to survive.
If I could see them again one day, Qiu Paner would promise to give them a good lesson!
.
At this moment, Gu Zhen sneezed violently on the raft.
The three of them, a family of four, had been floating on the water for several days.
Wei Fengrong had a slight fever and fell into a deep sleep. Gu Zhen ground some herbs for her, which at least reduced her temperature.
Gu Zhaodi didn’t even know that her sister knew these things.
Gu Zhen made up an excuse at random. The original owner had a wild personality and sometimes sneaked out, and it was Gu Zhaodi who covered up for her.
No one knows what you learned outside.
At night, the night was dark and I didn’t know where the rain had gone. The only thing I was thankful for was that the rain had stopped.
Gu Zhen was also really exhausted, so he took over shifts with Gu Zhaodi and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
Gu Zhaodi put clothes on her sister, her eyes full of love.
If Gu Zhen hadn't been around these days, several people would probably have died.
After they crossed the boundary of Qishan, they found many corpses floating on the water, both human and livestock, it was a horrific sight.
After heavy rain and floods, plague was rampant, and the few people sped up, just wanting to find land.
I just didn't expect to meet a living person.
Three skinny men came paddling a raft to rob them.
Gu Zhen jumped into the water, pushed them away, and dived into the water alone with a dagger in his hand.
From afar, Gu Zhaodi’s voice was hoarse from shouting. She couldn’t see the fighting scene clearly through the rain, but deep down she felt that her sister was no match for the men.
She and Wei Fengrong were both prepared to live and die with their sister.
But soon, Gu Zhen snatched their raft and chased after them along the current.
Gu Zhaodi hurried to check on her condition and found that she was not injured and the blood on her face was not hers. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Zhen explained that the three men were so hungry that they were out of their minds. They were not as strong as her and were stabbed in the chest before they could resist for a few times.
There was no food or money on the stolen raft.
Gu Zhaodi hugged Gu Zhen and cried. She didn't know how painful it must be for her to see her sister being forced to kill someone and pretend that she didn't care.
From this moment on, she made up her mind to work hard to be a support for her sister instead of a burden.
.
When she woke up, it was already the next day. Gu Zhen was delighted to find that there was land ahead where they could dock, which meant that they were far away from the flood-stricken areas.
Gu Zhen took the dry food from Gu Zhaodi's hand, ate it in a few bites, stood up and looked into the distance.
There were no people here. People either died in the flood or fled to higher places like the people in Qizhou Town.
But there are no high mountains nearby, so the former is more likely.
The two sisters paddled the raft and found a big tree to dock under.
Wei Fengrong's legs were weak and she had to rely on support to walk, but she didn't want to fall behind, so she gritted her teeth and persevered.
Gu Zhen and Gu Zhaodi carried their luggage, covered the raft with grass, and walked forward under the scorching sun.
After the heavy rain, the sun was scorching and the temperature was frighteningly high. They had only drunk a little water for several days and now their lips were chapped and they felt dizzy.
Gu Zhen could still hold on, but was afraid that Wei Fengrong would fall first.
"Let's take a rest under the shade of the tree in front and eat something to replenish our strength. If you continue like this, great-grandmother won't be able to bear it." Gu Zhen pointed to a towering tree, which was a good place to rest.
Wei Fengrong was panting heavily. When she reached under the tree, she couldn't hold on any longer and sat down. She felt like she had no strength left in her body.
Gu Zhaodi had also reached her limit, and leaned against the tree trunk in a daze, "Second sister, come over here and take a rest."
"I'll be right there." Gu Zhen was squinting his eyes at the distance when he saw a few birds flying by and the sound of insects chirping in the woods.
