In the evening, a group of people gathered by the river in Zhaojiazhuang.
"You still don't admit it! You don't admit it yet, do you?"
The fat woman held a wooden stick with a thick wrist and beat hard on a little girl who was only three or four years old.
"I, I really didn't steal—ah!"
Before Gu Qingling could finish her words, another stick hit her shoulder with a "bang".
Her face turned pale, and her big, dark, round eyes were full of tears, but she tried not to cry out in pain.
Otherwise, you will only be tortured more severely.
"Aunt Zhao, that's about it! Beat this little girl to death, and your boy will have no wife in the future!" Finally, an old lady couldn't stand it anymore and started to persuade her.
Aunt Zhao thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.
If she is beaten silly or crippled, who will take care of her and her precious son in the future?
"Okay, I'll spare you this time."
Aunt Zhao threw a basin of dirty clothes in front of the little girl.
"Wash them all for me, okay? If you wash the buttons off again this time, I'll break your legs!"
Gu Qingling shrank her shoulders in horror, pursed her cherry-like lips, and nodded slightly.
After everyone dispersed, she squatted by the river and soaked her clothes in the water piece by piece.
In the dead of winter, the cold wind blew against her thin and petite body like a knife.
Her hands were already red from the cold, but she still worked hard to wash clothes one after another.
"ah!"
The dress that Aunt Zhao loved to wear became too heavy after being soaked in water. Xiao Qingling couldn't hold it on, and was carried down by the fast river.
She was so anxious that she threw herself into the water desperately, trying to bring her clothes up.
But, it's too cold, bitingly cold.
The already stiff limbs were now filled with lead, unable to move.
Her eyes widened in horror, watching herself slowly sinking, and the icy water poured into her nasal cavity——
Am I going to die?
Xiao Qingling was not afraid, and even felt a sense of relief.
In the past few years, she has often dreamed of a woman.
With a charming face and starry eyes, he held her tenderly and smiled at her.
From other people's words, Xiao Qingling knew that she was picked up by Aunt Zhao.
The one in the dream is the real mother.
"Mother, Linger misses you so much..."
The coldness and darkness hit together, and the water surface returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
Suddenly, a ball of red light exploded, holding Xiao Qingling's body and bringing her to the shore.
If you look closely, you will see that the warm red light looks like a koi fish!
Soon, the red koi turned into spots of light and dispersed, and Xiao Qingling opened her eyes blankly.
At the same time, Huaishan, thousands of miles away.
In the steaming white mist, the extraordinary handsome man suddenly opened his eyes.
His warm jade-like hands pulled over the clothes, hurriedly draped them over his body, and tied up his long wet dark hair casually.
"Mr. Gu? Where are you going?"
The serving slave looked panicked, wondering what had happened to make this famous medical practitioner in Huaishan so anxious.
"Get out of the way." Gu Cangyin's voice was extremely cold, and there was uneasiness between his brows: "I'm going to pick up my sister!"
Although it was only for a moment, he still noticed his sister's aura in his consciousness.
That bright red bloomed like blood, making his face suddenly turn pale.
My sister's situation is very bad.
We must find her quickly!
At this time, a tall man walked slowly from a distance.
He was handsome and handsome, with thin eyebrows and slender eyes. He was surrounded by a cold and cold air that could not be suppressed by Huaishan Hot Spring.
"Yo? Second brother, what did you see? Your face is so ugly."
"Gu Yunye." Gu Cangyin managed to calm down and stared at him with her dark eyes: "I found my sister."
In an instant, Gu Yunye's unruly eyebrows froze and he turned his head to look in disbelief.
"What - what did you say? Are you sure? It's not a trap again, is it?"
They have been looking for their sister for three years, and have been tricked more than once by people with ulterior motives. They cannot help but feel wary.
"I saw it with my own eyes." Gu Cangyin tapped her temple with her slender white fingers: "In my sea of consciousness, I detected her aura. But the situation is very bad, we must hurry!"
"I understand. Second brother, please inform the fourth and fifth brothers, and I will activate the Tengxiao Hundred Miles Formation!"
"No need, let's go there first."
Gu Cangyin made the final decision.
…
After Xiao Qingling woke up, she was surprised to find that the clothes in the tub had been cleaned and even carefully folded.
Was it a dream just now? Who helped fold her clothes?
She rubbed her fair and soft cheeks in confusion, but still couldn't resist the severe cold, so she went back with the wooden basin in her arms.
In the distance, she heard a burst of fragrance coming from Zhao's chimney.
smell good……
I wonder if they can leave some scraps for themselves after they are full.
The little girl swallowed: she hadn't eaten hot food for a long time.
After hanging up the clothes one by one, Xiao Qingling raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Auntie, I've finished washing the clothes. Can we eat now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden door slammed open.
The fragrance drifted over, but was ruthlessly isolated.
Aunt Zhao looked at her coldly: "How much work have you done, and you are just asking for something to eat? You are so lazy!"
Xiao Qingling defended in a low voice in panic: "But..."
"But what? I'm annoyed when I see you now, so get away!"
She had no choice but to turn around and leave, returning to her "room".
Her room was made up of four leaky walls and a roof made of straw and full of holes.
The cold wind blew inside.
Xiao Qingling leaned on the bed made of withered grass, covered with a thin layer of quilt, and curled up into a small ball.
Go to sleep. You won't be hungry when you sleep.
But, my body feels really uncomfortable.
His head felt like it was about to explode, and his internal organs were being kneaded fiercely.
She didn't see that a bright red mole was looming in the middle of her forehead.
At the same time, in the sky outside Zhaojiazhuang, dazzling light pillars rose into the sky and disappeared quickly.
Gu Cangyin and Gu Yunye looked around, their expressions changed.
Why is the environment here so bad!
"Second brother, can you find your sister?"
"Shut up, I'm looking for you."
He closed his eyes and the sea of consciousness spread out with himself as the center.
Finally, in the southwest, he saw a dying red koi carp.
younger sister!
Gu Cangyin's heart almost clenched.
He stepped on the sword and flew out like a meteor!
"Hey! Wait for me!"
Gu Yunye also stepped on the magic weapon and followed hurriedly.
Zhao family.
Aunt Zhao was happily eating roast chicken with her husband and son.
"I have made an agreement with Lao He at the entrance of the village. When the money-losing guy turns four years old, I will send him to help with the work. I can still get some money every month."
Her son clapped his hands happily: "Great! This way we will have more roast chicken to eat!"
Aunt Zhao happily picked up her son and kissed her: "When she grows up, she will marry you as your wife and give you a big fat boy!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them heard a loud "bang" and the ground shook.
"Ahhh! The ground is moving! Run!"
Aunt Zhao dragged her son and stumbled out, then fell to the ground in a panic.
"Is it here?"
She raised her head and saw a pair of thick-soled white boots covered with silver patterns.
Two extraordinary-looking men were staring at her coldly with their eyes lowered.
Gu Cangyin seemed to have noticed something. She turned to the man behind her and said, "I'm going to find my sister. Please keep an eye on them."
"good."
He followed the faint light and came to a room that was indescribably dilapidated.
The white little breasts are curled up in the grass.
The soft black hair on the temples was wet with sweat, sticking helplessly to the soft and delicate cheeks.
The butterfly-wing-like eyelashes drooped, with crystal tears hanging on them.
With just one glance, Gu Cangyin's eyes were split.
