The fierce stepmother of the farm family, brought her cubs to get rich

Chapter 23

This village did not look much different from Chen Xing Village. Gu Manxiu frowned and looked at the bright footsteps for a while, thinking that she must have found the right place, so she walked in.

Gu Manxiu was born beautiful, and although she didn't dress too expensively, but this pretty appearance with almond eyes and thin lips stood in the crowd, and it would definitely make the people on the side look sideways for a long time.

Facing the eyes of the people in the village, Gu Manxiu casually walked into a woman's yard and started talking to the woman who was choosing vegetables.

"Ma'am." Gu Manxiu had a slight smile on her face, trying to make herself look harmless: "You can see that a group of people from the village brought a child here today?"

When the woman saw Gu Manxiu's face, she was stunned for a moment, then stood up as if she had seen a ghost, and walked towards the house while saying: "I haven't seen it before! There are no children in this village. I haven't seen any." Pass!!"

This reaction was a bit strange, but seeing the closed wooden door, Gu Manxiu had no choice but to give up.

Although the village is not too big, if you ask each family, it will be dark
Gu Manxiu stood on the street, looking at the people coming and going. These people looked up at her from time to time, and when they passed by her, they walked very fast, as if they were afraid of getting contaminated by something.
Facing these stares staring at her nakedly, Gu Manxiu didn't feel awkward. Standing in the same place made these people curious enough, and occasionally asked women and men passing by if they had ever seen a half-grown child.

"Brother, have you seen it before?"

"I don't know! I haven't seen it!"

Gu Manxiu: ".?"

You are perfunctory, let people finish talking first!
After bumping into walls several times in a row, Gu Manxiu felt a little depressed, so she entered a house at random, thinking that this time she must ask why.

"anyone there?"

Gu Manxiu pushed the door open, and as soon as he finished speaking, a woman came out. The woman was about the same age as herself, with a thin figure and a pair of phoenix eyes, which made Gu Manxiu feel a burst of sadness. She was supposed to be a gentle woman. The beauty of this woman is just a dark scar on her face, from the corner of the eye to the earlobe.

It's such a pity for such a beauty, Gu Manxiu couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"Who are you? Why are you here at my house?" The woman's voice was so pleasant, like a stream of spring water, it washed away most of the depression in Gu Manxiu's heart.

"Hi girl, I'm from Chen Xing Village on the top of the mountain." Gu Manxiu took two steps towards the girl and said, "Today I took my child to cut firewood in the mountain. If I didn't pay attention, my child was taken away by a group of people." After leaving, I followed the steps and found this place."

The woman frowned slightly, looking at Gu Manxiu without speaking, as if she was trying to tell whether this beautiful woman was telling the truth or a lie.

"come in."

Gu Manxiu finally got a good look in the village, and hurriedly followed the woman into the house.

The hut was poorly furnished, there were no teacups on the dilapidated wooden table, only a few porcelain bowls, and some scattered fabrics and needlework.

Although the hut is simple, it is very clean. From the bed to the window sill, nothing is really misplaced, and there is no dust on the ground.

Gu Manxiu's affection for this woman increased greatly, such a clean person would never have a dirty heart.

The woman poured a bowl of clear water into a porcelain bowl, and put it in front of Gu Manxiu: "There is no tea at home, so don't worry about the poor hospitality."

These words directly uttered the situation of her family, but there was no shame on the woman's face, and Gu Manxiu felt very comfortable with her generous appearance.

"Where is it, it's good enough that my sister can give her saliva to eat."

The woman sat down opposite Gu Manxiu, and slowly said: "There are very few children in our village."

Gu Manxiu frowned, she could see this phenomenon herself, whether it was in the courtyard or people walking on the road, Gu Manxiu had never seen the voice of a child, it made the village less lively
"Why is this?"

The woman picked up the unfinished cloth on the table, and started to move skillfully. The silver needles were walking in her hands, and each stitch was moving very quickly.

"There is a woman in the mountain behind us, who is as beautiful as my sister." The woman pulled the white thread in her hand: "She can call the rain, so the villagers regard her as a goddess."

Call the wind and call the rain?

Gu Manxiu was a little puzzled, could there really be people with immortal skills in this world?
"But she loves to catch children under fifteen."

"Let his blood take a bath to keep his peerless beauty forever."

The light words fell into Gu Manxiu's ears, causing Gu Manxiu's eyes to widen instantly.

"Nonsense!" Gu Manxiu patted the table and said anxiously, "Since she is regarded as a goddess, how can she randomly take the lives of children!"

Nourishing the face with blood, Gu Manxiu did not expect to hear such a shocking thing in this place.

Blame these individuals for not studying well!How can it be possible to take a blood bath to really maintain a youthful face!
Gu Manxiu's head was full of the appearance of Gao Yuanshan being bled, she couldn't sit down anymore, she stood up and wanted to leave.

"Thank you for letting me know where the back mountain in the village is."

The woman put down the embroidery in her hand, and said calmly: "The woman has been in the mountains for many years, and there are many people under her command. If my sister goes there alone, she must not be caught."

Gu Manxiu was a little anxious, this is going to kill people, how can I think about these things!
"No problem." Gu Manxiu waved his hands and said, "If I don't go, my child will lose his life."

The woman looked at Gu Manxiu without saying a word. She stood up after three or two minutes, and cut the thread of the unfinished cloth just now. The cloth is not big, like a square scarf.

"Go west and you will see the mountains. You can take this with you and tell the woman that I gave it to you, so that you will save trouble," the woman said while folding the scarf and putting it away. In the hands of Gu Manxiu.

Gu Manxiu didn't care about asking any questions, she just wanted to rescue Gao Yuanshan as soon as possible, and after a hasty thank you, she went out and walked towards the mountain.

But don't die, little brat!

Gu Manxiu walked for a while, and as expected, the mountain appeared in his sight. Gu Manxiu was overjoyed and quickened his steps into the mountain.

There were birds chirping in the mountains, which were clearly similar to the birds on her side, but when Gu Manxiu stepped into the mountains, she felt uncomfortable everywhere. Even the singing of birds carried a deep sadness, which made people feel a little chilly.

After entering the mountain and walking a few steps, many figures appeared in the mountain.

"Hey!"

Gu Manxiu was stopped by a rough male voice.

"Who! I don't know if you can't climb this mountain at will!"

The man's voice was not low, when he walked over, many people looked at Gu Manxiu, Gu Manxiu was not afraid, so he raised his voice and answered.

"Someone asked me to talk to your bosses!" Gu Manxiu lied casually, "I wonder if I can go up the mountain!"

The man walked up to Gu Manxiu in a few steps, and was a little dazed when he saw Gu Manxiu's face.

Except for the head of the family, I have never seen such a beautiful woman
"Who asked you to come?" A thin man standing beside the man asked.
