Chapter 191 Because I'm Hungry?

It was very dark at that time, and a person suddenly appeared behind him, scaring Gu Qingsheng half to death.

She was just crying softly at first, but now she was startled and cried loudly. She shrank into a corner and waved her hands frantically.

"Don't come here! Don't come here! Monster! You monster! Don't eat me!"

"I want Daddy to come! I want Daddy to come!"

He kept waving his hands, preventing the boy from approaching.

Cautiously approaching Gu Qingsheng, the boy's face was slapped by her struggling hand, and there was a very loud slap, then she turned his face to the side, and the bandage fell off a little, revealing the red and swollen skin inside.

Feeling that what he hit just now was human warmth, Gu Qingsheng sobbed a few times, then slowly opened one eye and glanced at the boy.

The boy still pushed the handkerchief forward, his eyes showed fear but nervousness, and the hand holding the handkerchief was trembling.

It is rare to see such a clean handkerchief in this kind of village, Gu Qingsheng took it slowly, and the other party quickly took his hand back after handing the handkerchief to Gu Qingsheng.

Holding the not-so-soft handkerchief in her hand, the edges and corners were a little torn, but she felt that the night was not so cold now.

He wiped his face indiscriminately, looked down, and saw the moonlight, blood and tears mixed on the veil, looking extremely horrifying.

With a flick of his lips, Gu Qingsheng was about to cry immediately.

"You...don't cry..."

The boy comforted Gu Qingsheng by surprise, but he didn't dare to get close to Gu Qingsheng. The voice in his throat was very hoarse, like the sound of a rough iron saw that had been burned by something.

"Why are you crying... because, are you hungry... I... I..."

He fumbled all over his body anxiously, and finally found a piece of dried sweet potato that was glowing black, and gently placed it on the ground next to Gu Qingsheng.

"you!"

For a while, Gu Qingsheng didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so he wiped his face indiscriminately.

"I'm bleeding, don't you see! I'm bleeding!"

She is usually a bit domineering in the mansion, as long as she is hurt, there will be many maids around to accompany and coax her, how could she encounter such a thing.

"bleed……"

The boy's eyes were a little stiff, and he slowly stretched out his hand, revealing bloodstains and scars from the bandage, all wrapped under the white cloth.

"Is this..."

Seeing such a serious scar for the first time, Gu Qingsheng's eyes froze, he swung his head over and wiped his nose vigorously, and threw the dried sweet potato at the boy's feet
"I won't eat it!"

Her nose was red, she took a sneak peek, took out the dried sweet potato and blew the dirt on it silently, then stuffed it back into her sleeve.

After a long silence, Gu Qingsheng leaned closer to the boy, and only then did she see clearly that the boy was covered in simple white cloth bandages all over his body, and his face was even tied, leaving only a pair of drooping bright eyes.

He was very thin, and the joints on his arms could be clearly seen through the shape of the bandages.

The dried sweet potatoes should have been stored for a long time to cause the black mark. Gu Qingsheng heard his mother in the family say this before, and then threw away all the blackened dried sweet potatoes.

These villages don't even have food, and the boy's piece should be his entire ration.

After thinking about many messy things, she opened her mouth and said dully
"What's your name……"

"I don't have a name."

the boy replied
"I'm an abandoned child, so no one gave me a name."

"People in the village like to call me a fool, you can too..."

"How ugly is a fool!"

Gu Qingsheng waved his hand.

The child was immature, and he became familiar with it within a long time. She picked up a branch from the side and drew the word "Yue" on the ground.

"I'll give you a name, how about A Yue?"

"A Yue?"

boy tilted his head
"what does that mean?"

"My mother said that Yue means joy in the heart."

"Look, since I saw you just now, you seem to be unhappy all the time, how can you be unhappy?"

"Although I am very unhappy now."

Thinking about his current situation, Gu Qingsheng felt a little frustrated, touched his swollen cheeks, and lowered his head again

"It's okay, when my dad comes, I'll ask my dad to beat them all down, and then I can save you out earlier."

"After we go out, I will give you the most delicious chestnut cake in the capital. I know the shopkeeper, so I will definitely put the most sugar for you!"

I thought that after saying these words, the boy whom I just named A Yue would be happy, but he tilted his head and was very puzzled
"What is chestnut cake? What does sugar taste like?"

These two questions caught Gu Qingsheng off guard, but he still thought about it seriously.

"Chestnut cake is a pastry made of chestnuts, the sugar is very sweet!"

she said so.

Although she still didn't quite understand, Ah Yue nodded a little, then curled up her legs, and stared at the ground with even brighter eyes.

Ah Yue...

He has a name.

It's a name that makes people happy to read.

Ah Yue.

……

On the second day, someone came to deliver food.

It was probably the first time Gu Qingsheng was imprisoned. After being exhausted yesterday, he couldn't even open his eyelids, and he felt a little weak lying on the ground.

Only to hear Ah San's surprised words outside again

"You gave her such a good food? Old Li's, are you out of your mind?"

With a sneer, Aunt Li seemed a little embarrassed. Through the crack of the door, it could be seen that she hid the things in her hand behind her back.

"Give that girl something to eat, and she will grow fatter."

"When the time comes, when God is happy, there will be more rewards."

Aunt Li had no confidence in what she said, but Ah San didn't expose it, and listened to her with a sneer as she walked away slowly after she finished speaking.

His steps are very light, and he can't stir up a trace of dust when he steps on the ground.

After Ah San walked away, Aunt Li came in with food.

A faint fragrance came, she squatted in front of Gu Qingsheng, touched her forehead, and said very worriedly:
"Why does this child still have a fever..."

After testing the temperature, he looked down and saw that the red and swollen place of Gu Qingsheng's slap yesterday was now turning blue and purple, and the swelling became more and more terrifying.

He immediately helped her up with a sigh, and took out a piece of green pancake from the bowl.

There is no wheat in this era, let alone flour, so it is very strange that Aunt Li has this thing in her hand.

The grass leaves on the top of the pancakes were fragrant, and Ah Yue on the side looked a little straight, but she just moved her fingers and lowered her eyes again.

Gu Qingsheng opened his eyes in a daze and looked at Aunt Li. He put a soft thing on his mouth and immediately bit it down. A sour taste came over him immediately.
