Gu Mingxi was sitting on the sofa, holding a transparent cup in his hand, with a few leaves floating in it, and white steam coming out of the mouth of the cup, but he couldn't feel any warmth.
My heart kept tightening, the pain never stopped, and my mind was filled with memories of the pain and despair I felt at the moment when Yan'er died.
Now that there was a slight possibility, she didn't want to give up. Her intuition told her that she was not wrong, that it must be her Yan'er, her daughter.
Long Pei had already sent people out to search, but there was still no news after half a day. They searched the area and found no orphans. Not even the dirty little girl Gu Mingxi mentioned...
Lunch was brought in and out, but Gu Mingxi had no appetite at all.
Long Pei did not force her to appease her emotions, and later had to arrange matters in Yicheng. If someone was sent from the capital to a place like Yicheng, he was afraid that the local people would be dissatisfied, and he would have to visit many places
Officials, see which ones can be promoted to fill the vacancies and be used by him.
After the meeting, Jian Mei hid her slight tiredness. When she went back to the room, she saw Gu Mingxi still sitting on the sofa, thinking of the news Bai Yan reported just now.
I haven't found it yet. People who have inquired about this place often find an orphan here. She seems to be mute and can't speak. She won't eat even if she is given food. No one knows where she comes from, and no one knows what she relies on to survive.
It's just that you can often see injuries on her arms.
"...Mingxi."
As soon as his voice came out, Gu Mingxi came back to his senses and looked up at him, and asked impatiently: "Is there any news?"
There was no answer, so he sat down next to her and said in a deep voice, "Not yet, don't worry, they are still looking."
There is currently no way to confirm who the child Mingxi saw was, and he didn't want her to know.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
"Apei, what do you think I am like now?" She asked an unrelated question out of the blue.
Long Pei stared at her with deep eyes, "Calm, smart, and tough."
Gu Mingxi's thin lips slightly raised a faint smile, "I know you are afraid that I have too much hope and will be very disappointed when I find out that the truth is not what I want. But A Pei, I am not the Gu a few years ago.
Mingxi, I have lost her once. If it is her, I believe this is a gift from God. If it is really my illusion, what else can I do besides sighing that I lost my life?"
Could it be that she was once again so despairing that she lost her will to live?
No, that's not Gu Mingxi.
Now Gu Mingxi is strong and tenacious. She loves Long Pei tenderly with a heart that has gone through thousands of sails. She cherishes him, supports each other, and wants to be together for the rest of her life. Even if one day he leaves this world before her, she will still do well.
She lives and misses him well in this world. When her life comes to an end naturally, she will go to him and he will wait for her, she knows.
Long Pei was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "Some people say that you can often see an orphan here, probably a girl, who seems to be unable to speak. No one has ever been in contact with her, and I don't know where she comes from."
After listening to his words, Gu Mingxi couldn't help but tighten her hands on his sleeves. She felt like she was choking, feeling so uncomfortable.
There is an intuition that tells me that it is my own smoke.
Can't be wrong.
It can't be wrong.
"Apei, I want to go look for him in person, can you let me go?" Gu Mingxi's faint voice revealed a hint of request.
Long Pei felt very distressed. He understood her feelings and couldn't say no. He nodded, "Yes, but you have to promise me to eat something first. After that, I will go with you to find her."
She didn't eat anything at noon, and her already bad stomach would definitely get worse. Her body was already broken, so how could she go find Yan'er.
Gu Mingxi knew what he meant and nodded slightly. She knew how to eat, replenish her strength, cherish her body, and not let him worry.
There was a look of satisfaction in his dark eyes. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead as a reward. He took the cup from her hand and ordered Bai Yan and the others to bring the meal into the room.

There was darkness all around, and it seemed to be moving and turbulent. I could vaguely hear cursing voices coming from outside, accompanied by rumbling sounds.
"Brother, we have found a good seedling this time. It is so handsome and it will definitely sell for a good price."
"Yes! The bastard is worth more than the girl. This money is enough for us to play with many women."
"Why do you need to play with other women? This girl is pretty good. I'm sure she will be able to enjoy her when she grows up."
"..."
The two men laughed obscenely at the same time, immersed in silver, and their eyes glowed with a dirty and turbid light.
The car seemed to have stopped somewhere.
Someone opened the car door, and Long Lifei finally saw a little girl curled up at his feet, her body trembling involuntarily.
When the man saw Long Lifei waking up, he showed an evil smile and said, "Hey, you are in good health, you woke up so quickly."
Long Lifei frowned with a cold look on his face. From the few words he just said, he captured some important information——
Human traffickers, destroying prostitutes and young girls.
she……
When his cold eyes fell on the clay doll at his feet, there was a trace of pity and sympathy in his eyes!
"Get out of the car!" The man grabbed Long Lifei's backpack and lifted him out directly.
The effects of the medicine on his body have not completely dissipated, and he has no strength to struggle. His hands are still tied, like a lamb being slaughtered.
"You damn girl, why don't you get off here?!" Another man came down from the cab, his turbid eyes fell on the clay doll, which had a different meaning.
Her body trembled and did not move.
"Huh?" The man raised his hand, and she shuddered and slowly climbed out of the car.
Long Lifei was carried into a dilapidated room and thrown on the straw in the corner. The clay doll was also pushed in. She was very quiet, neither noisy nor fussy. She walked to the corner and curled up and sat down, watching silently with her big clear eyes.
All this.
The man unzipped Long Lifei's bag and everything fell to the ground, including clothes, cell phones, model guns and some scattered items.
"Ha! It looks like he is a kid from a rich family!" The mobile phone the man got was the latest model of smart phone. It was exquisite and beautiful, and the special casing was expensive.
Another man stood nearby and seemed to be unaware of Long Lifei. His eyes fell obscenely on the little girl. He felt somewhat regretful that she was still too young and not fully grown. It was a pity that she couldn't go in and play.
Long Lifei seemed to see something in those dirty eyes, and his eyes shifted from their ugly faces to the clay dolls...
Something seemed to cut through his heart. He wasn't very clear about the issue of men and women, but he had read some information and understood it more or less.
She is still so young and has experienced such dirty things. What should she do when she grows up?
Will there be any warmth in the future life?
He doesn't blame the clay doll, he just hates these twisted and ugly people. Why would he hurt an innocent little girl?
The man collected all the valuable things and threw all the useless ones on the ground. He stood up and said, "Let's have some fun first, and then we can have a good meal after we sell this little brat."
"Okay." His unbearable gaze shifted away from the girl's young body.
Both of them want to go out...
"You want to sell me?"
The steps stopped, and the two of them looked at Long Lifei and looked at each other, which seemed interesting.
"Little bastard, what do you want to do?"
"You can sell me for up to two hundred thousand, but if you use me to blackmail my parents, they are willing to pay even one million." Long Lifei said in a sane voice. He could not be sold, let alone the clay doll.
Continue to stay in such a dark place.
"Ha!" the man sneered, "Do you think we are fools? Blackmail your parents so that the police can catch us!"
"I am the only son in our family. As long as I can go back safely, they are willing to pay no matter how much money they have! As long as the problems that rich people can solve with money, nothing is a problem." In order to get rescue, it was not the first time for Long Li.
I have the patience to say so many words.
The two men remained silent, looking at Long Lifei as if he was pondering his words.
Long Lifei knew that they were tempted. The price of selling a child could be up to 200,000 yuan, and the extortion amount could be as high as tens of millions.
"How can the penalties be different for repeat offenders of extortion and child trafficking?" He spoke again, deepening their wavering, "Anyway, what you are after is money. All our family has is money."
"Brother, this kid has a very loud tone..." The thinner man smiled and stared at Long Lifei interestingly. Children from rich families are just different.
"Let's think about it." The eldest brother said and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute."
"What's wrong?" The man's eyes were filled with impatience. He had never seen such a disgusting child. (Author: You are the only ones who dislike him←_←)
"Can you please let go of my hand? It hurts so much." Long Lifei restrained his cold aura and tried his best to pretend to be a weak and incompetent child from a rich family.
"...Brother, look..." The thin man asked the elder brother for his opinion.
The eldest brother looked at Long Lifei and saw that there was nothing special about this child except that he was good-looking. Could it be that two adults couldn't subdue a little rabbit?
"Untie."
The man stepped forward and untied the rope that bound Long Lifei's hands. Long Lifei said a simple thank you out of education.
"Haha, you are such an interesting bastard. I have never seen such a calm child." The man stood up with a cursed smile, turned around and walked out with his elder brother.
Long Lifei watched them leave the room and heard the sound of the door being locked and the window being sealed. He saw it as soon as he entered. It seemed that it would not be easy to escape.
His eyes fell on the clay doll in the corner and he was silent for a long time. He reluctantly supported his body and walked to the place where it was scattered on the ground. He squatted down and took the toy gun in his hand. His thin lips seemed to be taunting...
Do you really think this is just an ordinary toy gun?

As night falls, the street lights turn on at some unknown time, glowing with dim light.
Long Pei accompanied Gu Mingxi to look for the figure engraved in her mind nearby. The vehicles on the road became increasingly sparse, deserted and desolate. Not to mention children, even adults could not see it.
Gu Mingxi had been walking around for four or five hours. Even though he was wearing flat shoes, his heels still had a few blisters, some were even worn out, and his steps were unnatural when he walked.
She didn't pay attention and concentrated on looking for the child.
Long Pei was beside her. He glanced at her feet with his peripheral vision, narrowed his eyes, and pulled her arm suddenly. Gu Mingxi stopped and looked sideways at him, with confusion in his eyes.
"That's it for today, let's go back." There was irresistible majesty in the deep voice.
"I still want to..."
"Mingxi!" He interrupted her voice, tightening the strength of his fingertips, "You have been walking all afternoon." Her feet were worn out, how long would she continue to hold on?
Gu Mingxi was silent, unwilling to accept it. She didn't believe that she couldn't find it. She had clearly seen it nearby, so how could she not find it!
"I promise you will let Bai Yan keep searching until he finds it." Long Pei said solemnly, his voice cold, "Now you must go back with me to rest."
Seeing his stern look, I knew that even if I persisted, he would not agree and would take me back forcibly, so I nodded with sadness in my eyes.
Long Pei turned around and knelt down, "I'll carry you back."
"No, I can walk by myself." She endured the pain in her heels, but she could still walk back this distance.
Long Pei squatted stubbornly on the spot, tilting his head and his dark eyes filled with warmth and doting, "Mingxi, be good."
The voice is charming and sexy.
Gu Mingxi hesitated for a few seconds and slowly lay on his back. His strong and strong back immediately made people feel safe and reliable.
Long Pei carried her on his back and stood up and walked towards the hotel.
Under the dim street lamp, the long silhouette is projected on the ground, cool but warm.
Gu Mingxi held his neck with both hands, and his unique breath lingered under her nose, silently driving away the desolation and loneliness in her heart. It was obviously the cold body temperature that could always warm her.
Her weight was very light, and there seemed to be no weight on her back. Long Pei was carrying her on his back, and every step he took was extremely steady and solid.
What he carries is not a woman, but his entire world.
Some people say that if you want to know if a man really loves you, let him carry you for fifteen minutes.
If true love were measured like this, Long Pei would not only be willing to carry her on his back for fifteen minutes, but he would also be willing to carry her like this for a lifetime.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, warm and easy-going.
Gu Mingxi seemed to feel that his emotions were different, "What's wrong?"
Long Pei's pace did not stop, his eyes looked at the end of the darkness, his voice was warm, "I wonder if I will be able to carry you when I get older."
At that time, their hair was gray, their steps were slow, and they could not walk steadily. How should he carry her on his back?
My heart felt warm, and the hands hugging his neck tightened, and she murmured softly, "Apei, you must, must love me very much."
She used two "certains" to confirm his feelings for her.
Long Pei smiled, "Yes! I love you very much."
There is nothing to deny, whether he says it or not, his love for her has never stopped. He has hated her, but after he hated her, he found that he loves her even more.
"It's okay, I don't need you to carry me. I'll hold your hand and we'll help each other and walk together." Gu Mingxi smiled. Without Yan'er, she still had him.
Being with this person in this life is enough.
"Mingxi, you must love me very much." Long Pei's low and hoarse voice escaped from his throat, with a smile on his lips.
"Well, I love you very much." She did not deny it, but directly admitted her feelings.
Love was a word they rarely uttered, and that time they expressed their feelings in Italian tactfully. When they heard her say the four words "I love you very much", they couldn't help but feel a surge in their hearts.
He raised his sword eyebrows, and his stern features were replaced by a warm smile.
Enough to melt everything.
The dark shadow standing under the streetlight not far away looked at their slowly retreating shadow, a faint smile could not help but flow from the corners of their mouths, and there was a hint of envy in their eyes.
Bai Yan has never seen such tenderness between you and your wife, so tender that it seems that any broken heart in the world can be healed.

Gu Mingxi was placed on the sofa, and Long Pei ordered someone to bring in the medical kit first, and then dinner later.
He went to the bathroom to wring out a clean towel, turned back to the living room, knelt on one knee next to her, took off her shoes, and gently covered her feet with the towel.
Gu Mingxi frowned in pain for a moment, and bit her delicate lips involuntarily.
"It hurts?"
She shook her head and looked at him with clear black and white pupils, "You are...so good to me."
Long Pei smiled slightly, turned around and sat on the sofa, leaned forward and kissed her eyelids, "It will be better."
Warmth surrounded her, and the best medicine relieved her inner pain. Perhaps she was really tired after walking all afternoon, so when Long Pei turned to the bathroom to change a towel and came back, she had already fallen asleep on the sofa.
The curly and slender eyelashes cover the eyes quietly like Cattail Fans, and there is a faint moisture in the corners of the eyes, as if they have had a very sad dream.
Long Pei leaned forward and sucked away the moisture from the corner of her eyes with his lips, and said in a low and hoarse voice that was almost inaudible, "Don't cry, you still have me."
It doesn't matter if we don't have children, we have A Li, he is our child, you are my child, and I am your child.
There is nothing wrong with us living our lives relying on each other.
The phone vibrated in his pocket. In order not to wake her up, he turned around and walked out of the room, closed the door gently, stood in the corridor and answered the phone. Banxia's solemn voice came from there, "Your Excellency, the Crown Prince has left the capital."
His eyebrows were furrowed, his eyes darkened, and his voice was cold, "I understand."
He cut off the phone decisively and immediately dialed Nan Si, "Ali will probably come to Yicheng. Send someone to look for him."
Turning sideways, Gu Mingxi saw who was on the sofa through the crack in the door. The fingers in his palms tightened. The little girl hadn't been dealt with yet, and now A Li had come to cause trouble.
The faint dissatisfaction in my heart was more about Long Lifei's dependence and care on Gu Mingxi!
Even if he is a son, he will be jealous.

The messy things in Long Lifei's bag are not useless, but are used to assemble this toy gun. Despite its small size and light weight, its joule power is not small, especially after his modification, the mortality rate increased by 100%.
of forty.
He would not use this gun unless absolutely necessary.
The clay doll was curled up in the corner, always looking at him quietly without saying a word.
He walked up to her and knelt down, "Don't be afraid, I will take you away."
Long Pei should know that he has come to Yicheng by now. Once the trafficker turns on his mobile phone, Long Pei can find him by relying on the tracker in the phone. Even if he cannot escape, I believe Long Pei and Mingxi will come to save him.
She blinked and leaned against the wall, as if she was afraid of him, and her body was shaking uncontrollably.
"Be good, don't be afraid, put on your clothes, otherwise you will get sick." Long Lifei said patiently, and the bloody hand that was bitten by her slowly stretched out in front of her. She trembled subconsciously, and the black and white pupils flashed.
Fear and uneasiness.
The clothes he gave her before had been held in her arms.
Long Lifei pulled out the clothes very slowly and signaled her not to be so close to the wall, as he would not be able to dress her.
Perhaps his patience and gentleness infected the clay doll, and she became less panicked about him. A smile appeared at the corner of Long Lifei's mouth, and he put on his coat for her very gently.
She is smaller than Long Lifei, and her clothes are a little too big for her, which is a bit funny.
Long Lifei sat next to her, looking at the dilapidated room, his mind spinning rapidly, thinking of a hundred ways to escape.
If it were a person, he would be 100% able to escape, but now with this clay doll, he couldn't be sure.
The clay doll's eyes fell on his bloody hand, her eyes were timid and defensive. After hesitating for a long time, she lowered her head and licked his hand with her tongue.
Long Lifei was startled, thinking she was going to bite him again, and his face was gloomy, "What are you doing?"
She was frightened by his sudden stern gaze, and fell to the side, trembling slightly.
Long Lifei looked at her with inquiring eyes. She really couldn't speak?
The two of them looked at each other for a long time, and the coldness on his body gradually dissipated. She seemed not to be so scared anymore, and pointed her dirty fingers at his hand, and then at her protruding tongue.
"You want to lick the blood off my hands?" Long Lifei guessed what she meant.
She blinked.
"No need." He spoke in a low voice and patted the seat next to him, "Sit here."
She hesitated for a long time, moved a little closer to him, and peeked at him with her eyes. Seeing that he didn't move, she continued to move to the side and looked at him again.
After confirming that he wouldn't do anything, she moved to sit next to him little by little.
The door was pushed open, and two men walked in. When they saw two people sitting together, the thin man cursed: "Oh, we got together so quickly."
Long Lifei frowned, these words... are really vulgar.
The eldest brother looked at Yanlong Lifei and had to admit that this boy was right. There was not much difference between the crimes of repeat child trafficking offenders and kidnapping criminals. It would be better to use this opportunity to get a vote so that they would never have to do this again.
If you do shady things, you can live happily for the rest of your life.
"Give me your parents' phone number. I will let you go as long as they can afford 10 million US dollars. Otherwise, I will sell you. Your beauty will be worth a lot if you sell it to a duck shop."
Duck shop?
Long Lifei didn't know what it was, so he reported Gu Mingxi's mobile phone number and saw from the corner of his eye that the plastic bags on the ground contained several steamed buns.
