Chapter 189

Holding the pastry in his hand, Gu Qingsheng took a bite, but it was not as sweet as the one he ate on the way.

After thinking about it, she still put down the pastries and yelled at the driver to stop.

The horse neighed and then stopped, and a burst of dry dust was stirred up on the cracked ground.

"Qingsheng, what are you going to do?"

Asked a question in confusion, Mrs. Xie looked at Gu Qingsheng with warm eyes, only to see that little palm picked up two more pastries from the table, and got out of the car carefully
Duan Wang frowned a little anxiously, and raised his head towards Gu Fengnan. Gu Fengnan immediately understood, and followed Gu Qingsheng down with his short legs.

Maybe he didn't feel the scorching sun when he was in the carriage, but after stepping off the carriage and stepping on the ground, the overwhelming heat hit his skin, and the feeling of thirsty mouth spread all at once.

She wiped off her sweat, and faced the two children sitting in the corner. The two boys were thin and small, and the older one was holding a very small child. The crying was already weak in the swaddle, and she couldn't feel it. To a little life.

It was really too hot that day, in front of those two people, Gu Qingsheng forgot how to speak for a while, just looked at their chapped lips, and hid some dry snacks in his hands behind his body.

There was a dead silence in the air, and moaning sounded from all around. The two boys were very young, much younger than Gu Qingsheng.

They just stared at each other in silence.

"Are you, are you going to give us that thing?"
When he saw the pastry in Gu Qingsheng's hand, the older boy stared straight at the pastry hidden in Gu Qingsheng's sleeve
"What is that thing?"

From the moment we met, the boy had always been indifferent to him, his eyes were lifeless and without a gleam of light, but at this moment they gathered light, and his voice was very loud.

"It's sweet-scented osmanthus cake..."

Being looked at by those hungry eyes felt a little scared, Gu Qingsheng took a step back, Gu Fengnan stood in front of Gu Qingsheng, looking hostilely at the boy opposite.

He didn't care about Gu Fengnan's hostility, the boy still looked at Gu Qingsheng who was secretly showing his eyes, and the voice from his throat was dry
"Yes... is it for us..."

Taking out the sweet-scented osmanthus cake slowly, Gu Qingsheng walked out from behind Gu Fengnan, but took his hand and showed his palm in front of the boy

"Are you eating..."

Before Gu Qingsheng could ask further, the osmanthus cake was snatched away by the boy in front of him, holding the precious one in the palm of his hand, looking at Gu Qingsheng nervously as if afraid that she would snatch it away.

But after getting the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, the boy was not in a hurry to eat it. Instead, he watched the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and swallowed, then turned and ran into the house.

Only then did they see clearly that there was a scrawny woman lying in the dark room, unable to move, her eye sockets were deeply sunken, and her cheeks were thin.

The boy ran in and shouted
"Mother! Mother! We have something to eat! You can breastfeed your brother now!"

The woman remained motionless, and only the occasional rolling of her eyeballs and drooping eyelids revealed that she was still alive.

Accustomed to this situation, the boy put the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand to the woman's mouth, then opened her mouth and stuffed it in. The woman rolled her eyes, chewed it, and showed a terrifying smile that was half a smile.

She probably wanted to reach out and touch the boy's head, but she couldn't lift it up at all.

"Qingsheng, let's go."

Grasping Gu Qingsheng's hand tightly, Gu Fengnan felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

Seeing this woman in front of him, he would bring his mother into him for no reason.

Immediately there was an idea of ​​wanting to escape.

Gu Qingsheng was probably still young at the time, so he didn't know what death was. He just looked at the woman thoughtfully, and then followed Gu Fengnan away.

The boy looked at the backs of the two of them, his eyes flickered, and he leaned against the threshold, looking at the two precious people.

From a distance, I still listened to the immature conversation between those two people.

"Brother, has this place always been so desolate..."

"No... this is also a beautiful place."

"Beautiful? How beautiful? Is it the same as the capital? Is there a moon? Are there stars? Will they all be photographed? Will they be as green as the grass in the capital?"

"Will it make those leaves green? Will it make the land happy again?"

She held Gu Fengnan's hand, and didn't look up at the two boys, but the boy who was watching them from behind remembered everything in her heart.

Running back to the side of the withered woman, the boy's eyes were bright. Although he couldn't understand those polite words, he remembered two things.

The moon, the stars, are all beautiful.

"Mother! Mother! I've made up my mind!"

"My younger brother will be called A Yue from now on! I will be called A Xing!"

The two of them were born in a drought, and they lost their father when they were born. In this day and age, it is good for them to survive, so why would they care about their names.

He has always been called the boss by his mother.

Now my mother is so hungry that she can't move, and no one even calls out for the boss.

Looking at his younger brother's thin and weak face, Ah Xing poked it happily, greedily licked the pastry residue in his hand, and smiled crookedly
"From now on, you will be called A Yue, and my brother will be called A Xing..."

"A Xing...hehe..."

……

As the drought got worse, there were no people here.

The coachman stopped the carriage and scratched his head
"My lord, the rest of the road may not be able to go on. The horse doesn't want to go any further. This car can only be parked here."

Seeing that the horse also wanted to quit, Duan Wang and his group had no choice but to get out of the carriage.

In the scorching sun, Wang Duan grabbed the water bottle at his waist and drank a couple of sips of water. Just as he put the water bottle to his mouth, suddenly a figure rushed out of the earthen house in front of him!
The speed was so fast that it was almost invisible. In an instant, the kettle in Duan Wang's hand was dragged away, and even Duan Wang was taken away.

"Hey you!"

He shouted and only saw the corner of the man's robe. He must have practiced some kung fu on his legs at such a fast speed.

Only Xie Shi on the side suddenly screamed.

"Qing Sheng!"

The scream was heart-piercing, and King Duan's heart sank heavily. As expected, there was no one in the place where Gu Qingsheng was just now, and there was still a small figure on the man's arm, because the speed was so fast that he couldn't see him at all. Way to see clearly.

Because he lost his martial arts to save the emperor when he was young, now he doesn't even have the most basic vigilance, so he just let his daughter be taken away in front of him.

His face turned pale, and King Duan roared angrily.

"Are you all a bunch of trash! The princess was taken away in front of your eyes, and none of them moved! Hurry up and chase me!"

"Yes!"
