1561 Isn’t that so?
....
Gu Xin and the few hundred of them did not have any food to eat at all. Lu Zheng and the rest only had a few days ‘worth of rations, so everyone only had a little each to barely fill their stomachs.
Gu Xin looked at the sky. It was almost midnight. She decided to use up all the Jade beads she had today and boil water for everyone to drink so that they could last for a while.
Second white and the rest rode their camels to fetch water. After a few trips, they only managed to bring back a small bowl of water for everyone to drink.
The crowd didn’t understand why Gu Xin wanted them to drink the water. Gu Xin didn’t explain further and only said that they had to drink the hot water to warm their bodies. They had to at least hold on until the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, they would all starve to death.
Lu Zheng’s heart ached when he saw Gu Xin taking care of everything on her own. However, under such circ.u.mstances, he could only silently help Gu Xin share her burden.
Everyone drank some water, ate some food, and went to sleep by the fire.
There were dozens of fires in this abandoned city, so it was safe with many people.
Gu Xin sat beside Lu Zheng and only then did she have the time to take a closer look at her familiar family.
She had been thinking for a few months about what she wanted to say when they met again. However, at this moment, she found that she could not say anything.
White four walked over and knelt in front of Gu Xin, ” “Third miss, this subordinate was too careless. Third miss, please punish me!”
Gu Xin glared at him. you must follow me from now on. You can’t even recognize someone who impersonated me, yet you still follow me around every day. You’re so stupid!
White four lowered his head.
Gu Xin helped him up, ” I’ve underestimated my enemy. It’s not entirely your fault. However, you have to be more careful in the future. Even if my sister and I have the exact same makeup, wear the exact same clothes, do the exact same actions, and say the exact same words, you still have to distinguish who is me. So, from today onwards, second white and the rest will not follow me. You must follow me. This is your punishment!”
Second white nodded,”third miss, don’t worry. I will definitely do it!” In the future, he would not allow such a thing to happen again! Many thanks to third miss for giving this subordinate this chance.”
Gu Xin smiled,’yes, go and rest! You’re not injured, so you can still protect us on the way to quicksand country.”
White four obediently retreated to the fire to rest.
“Third sister, I’m relieved to see that you’re full of energy,” Peng ze said. I’ll give you an explanation to your big sister when you get back.”
Gu Xin laughed,”big brother-in-law, you can’t do that.” I’ve suffered a lot, and I can’t explain it to big sister just because I’m full of energy. Also, my uncle must have scolded you for having a crazy cousin, for your cousin to be evil, and then he raised it to the point that maybe you’re crazy too. You’re also evil in your bones and want to bring my sister back to your family!”
“That’s right!” Peng ze smiled bitterly.
Gu Xin laughed. I knew it. Uncle likes us sisters the most. If one of us is missing, he’ll feel like we’re lacking something.
“Because of Pengze’s affair with the langge Kingdom, father-in-law went to mixed city and beat up a few households of the langge Kingdom’s citizens,” Peng ze said. He called Majesty Kang and Lord Cheng ‘en, and even urged Jin Nan w.a.n.g to lend them troops. He planned to bring the things that second sister made to blow up the Lang GE Kingdom.”
Peng ze was not lying at all. Uncle Gu really had such an intention. As a result, he, Majesty Kang, and Duke Cheng ‘en were scolded by Grandpa and Grandma Gu. Jin Nanw.a.n.g had avoided the calamity by hiding in the Gu family.
Gu Nian didn’t have many in stock at the time. If there were more, the Peng family would have brought their troops to fight.
