Back To My Husband’s Youth - Chapter 131
When Li Qinyuan saw her coming, he stretched out his hand to her, did not speak, and did not cast his gaze to other places, but lowered his head to reopen the two veils that had been disturbed by the wind just now to make sure that no one saw it. , And then led her to the direction of the carriage.
Gu Wuyou let him lead, and when he saw the people waiting over there, he asked him in a low voice, “Alright?”
“Ok.”
Li Qinyuan nodded.
Cong Yu, Xu Yong and others were there, and when they saw them coming, they all bowed their hands.
“Lin’an will be left to you. If you have anything that can’t be solved, just write to me.” Li Qinyuan asked again, and under their watchful eyes, Gu Wuyou got into the carriage with Gu Wuyou.
Outside Lin Qing waited for them to get on the carriage, and then shouted, “Go!”
The carriage slowly drove out of the city, except for the sound of “Da Da” horseshoes outside, it was the sound of Xu Yong and others, “Grace to the host, madam.”
After getting on the carriage, Li Qinyuan couldn’t hold back anymore, and raised his eyebrows and asked Gu Wuyou, “What did you just say?”
He has always disliked that lady dealer. He was always worried that she would be rude and brutal. But the silly girl of his family was helped by someone last time, so she stupidly became friends with someone, and he was worried about her alone. Feeling bored in Lin’an, she can only let her go.
But every time he went out, he either followed by himself or told Lin Qing to follow.
They are rarely left alone.
I didn’t know what the Ms. Zhuang said just now. When he walked over, he saw his girl bewilderedly rebutting.
Gu Wuyou has long been accustomed to such battles.
In the past, as long as Li Qinyuan didn’t follow her out, she always asked her when she turned around, but today… thinking of what Zhuang Ru said, Gu Wuyou didn’t have this face to open this mouth, pretending that nothing happened and put the hat on his hand. Entering the cabinet, “just chatted a few words.”
“Really?”
Li Qinyuan always felt that it was not that simple, but when she saw that she didn’t want to say more, she didn’t ask any more, holding her hand, and exhorting: “This lady dealer has too much thought and too much calculation. Don’t listen to her words.”
When Gu Wuyou heard this, his embarrassment dissipated a little, and said amusedly: “You have too deep a prejudice against her. In fact, this Miss Zhuang is a very nice person.”
“Only you will feel good about her.”
Li Qinyuan reluctantly reached out his hand and nodded her forehead. After all, he didn’t say anything more about it, but instead held her and said something else, “You came from Beijing before, walking along the waterway, and you didn’t see any good scenery along the way. This time we will ride in the carriage. If you want to play or watch on the road, let’s go down and walk around.”
Gu Wuyou was surprised: “Didn’t the prince brother let us go back earlier?”
Li Qinyuan smiled, stretched out her hand and scratched her nose gently, and said softly, “Our cooperation with Boss Han has been settled. It’s the same for going morning and evening, and your prince brother is just…”
Looking at Gu Wuyou’s eyes, he didn’t say the words that hadn’t come out yet.
Some things are out of the surprise now, so I changed the topic casually, “I have sent him a letter before, so I don’t have to be in a hurry.”
Knowing that he would not delay business matters, Gu Wuyou immediately opened his eyes and smiled, nestled in his arms, and talked to him.
Then, “We can pass through many towns along the way. I have talked about the special snacks of these places in the book before, and we can eat a lot of food on the road.”
She shook her fingers while talking about the snacks.
Li Qinyuan looked at her like this, both funny and helpless, “How can I be like a little greedy cat.”
Gu Wuyou pulled his sleeves and acted coquettishly, “Okay?”
“Good, good.” Li Qinyuan couldn’t bear it, nodded, and then reached out his hand to pinch her small face, and sighed, “I can eat so well, and I won’t see you gain weight. When I go back, Uncle Gu is afraid I should be scolded. I didn’t take good care of you.”
“Where is it.”
Gu Wuyou squatted her mouth, “I’m obviously a lot fatter than I came.” The clothes she brought before are not good enough to wear, but in the past six months, her stature has also been taller than before. Although it has grown fleshy, it still looks the same as before.
Afraid that people would not believe it, she raised her little face and leaned over, “Look, I have flesh on my face now.”
She really believed Li Qinyuan too much, and defended him at all.
With such a pure and lustful face, making such a seductive action, but his eyes were so clean, it was really grinning. Li Qinyuan’s eyes suddenly became dark when he looked at her. He lowered his eyes and looked at her for a long time, dumb. Said in a voice, “Let me see.”
Slender fingers stroked her cheeks with a lingering taste.
Gu Wuyou really believed that he was Liu Xiahui who was sitting still, and looked up at him stupidly, until his lips were pressed, and the smell that belonged to Li Qinyuan overwhelmed her in his woven secret. In the net, his eyes widened in surprise.
“Well.”
She blushed, trying to struggle.
In the past, as long as she showed a little sign of rejection, Li Qinyuan would take it back no matter what, but this time, he did not show any signs of letting go. Instead, he pinched the person’s waist and deepened the kiss until she was breathless. , Her slender fingertips stroked her watery eyes, and then she called her dumbly: “Gu Wuyou.”
Gu Wuyou looked at him, as if he was still ashamed of the previous kiss, his face was red, his lips were red and moist, and he didn’t speak.
Li Qinyuan didn’t mind. He looked down at her like this, stroked her cheek with his fingers, and said, “When you go back this time, you will never be able to escape.”
Gu Wuyou understood, her already delicate face suddenly became redder, but her eyes did not dodge around anymore, but looked straight at him, in the pair of phoenix who was mixed with desire but was strongly suppressed. At the moment, suddenly smiling like a flower.
She raised her arm and hung it around his neck, and gave a soft “um”.
Their journey can be regarded as a trip in the true sense.
There is no business, and there is no need to rush to any place. Just go wherever you want. Today, I can eat and drink in this town, and I can stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery on the road the next day. After more than a month, Gu Wuyou only paid. With playful thoughts, I plan to return to Beijing.
After coming out for so long, she also began to miss her father, grandmother, second sister and third brother…
This day.
They had just purchased dry food and pastries for food and drink in a nearby town. Soon after they left the city gate, the carriage stopped suddenly.
Gu Wuyou is playing chess with Li Qinyuan,
The sudden bumps caused the chess game to be messed up, black and white chess pieces hit the ground, and the cup on the case flickered, pouring a lot of tea.
“What’s the matter?” Li Qinyuan supported Gu Wuyou, held down the coffee table, and asked outside.
“The boss.” Lin Qing rode over, her tone not very good, “Suddenly a lot of refugees came in front of us, blocking our way and not letting us go.”
“refugee?”
Gu Wu said in a daze: “How come there are refugees?”
Li Qinyuan frowned and told Lin Qing, “Go and ask what’s going on.”
“Yes!”
Lin Qing left.
Li Qinyuan tidied up the contents of the carriage, and then asked Gu Wuyou with a concerned tone, “Is it all right?”
“It’s okay.”
Gu Wuyou shook his head. Thinking of what Lin Qing said just now, he opened the curtain. Not far away, dozens of refugees were blocking their way. Everyone was in ragged clothes and hair. Scattered, men and women, young and old, there are actually infants in swaddling clothes.
They are a little bit arguing with the guards, wanting to get closer, but they are afraid of the sword in their hands.
Some knelt down and kowtowed their heads while begging hoarsely, “Noble, noble, give us something to eat. We have not eaten for a few days, and if we have nothing, we can only eat Guanyin Tu. .”
“Avalokitesvara?”
Gu Wuyou turned his head and asked Li Qinyuan, “What is Guanyin Earth?”
Li Qinyuan came over as early as when she raised the curtain of the car. She would sit next to her, looking at the scene outside, and replied with an ugly expression: “It’s mud.”
“what?!”
Gu Wuyou was really shocked this time. She lived in fine clothes and food when she was a child. She had done a few good deeds in the past, and that was just donating money. Have you ever seen such a scene? Not to mention that there are people in this world who eat dirt to satisfy their hunger.
Li Qinyuan looked at her shocked appearance and sighed softly.
Although he had heard many things like this before, it was the first time he saw such a scene. He raised his hand and stroked her head. Seeing Lin Qing coming over, he patted Gu Wuyou’s hand again and let her sit first. In the past, when someone sat next to him, he asked in a deep voice, “How is it?”
“The owner.”
Lin Qing Dynasty people handed over their hands and replied in a low voice: “These people came from a small town in Hankou, where floods broke out, and many houses were destroyed.”
Li Qinyuan twisted his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, “Hankou is quite a distance away. Why don’t they rest elsewhere?”
“Those places know that there is a flood, for fear that if they are put in, more refugees will enter the city and cause chaos…” Lin Qing, a person from a small place, had experienced such a thing before, and said with a sigh. “These people were driven all the way.”
When Gu Wuyou heard this, he couldn’t sit still anymore, and said coldly, “Where are the officials in Hankou? They didn’t do anything at all?”
Lin Qing sighed, “Madam, if they do something, how can these people leave their homeland?”
Gu Wuyou was choked by these words, and then said: “What about the court? Is it possible that no one has distributed donations for disaster relief?”
Knowing that she was worried, Li Qinyuan took her hand and patted her gently to soothe her emotions. Then he said to Lin Qing: “Find a few people over and send them all the dry food in the car.
“
After finishing speaking, he said, “You distribute it yourself, and they are not allowed to grab it.”
Lin Qing knew that the owner was worried that they would fight for competition and cause other accidents, so he should havetily.
When they delivered the dry food, Li Qinyuan looked out at Gu Wuyou from time to time and shook her hand, “Don’t look.”
“Look at them, the old, the young, those people, how dare those people do this!” Gu Wuyou blushed, especially when he heard the cry of the baby in the swaddle, I don’t know if it was because of crying for too long. , I haven’t eaten or drink in the past few days, and my voice is hoarse.
She is really comfortable living a long time.
No matter what environment she was in, there were countless people around her guarding and helping her, which made her feel angry and anxious to see this situation.
But Li Qinyuan had long known that this world was dangerous and complicated. Although he was a little bored, he was not as anxious as Gu Wuyou. He held her hand and looked at the scene outside with his narrow and narrow eyes.
Blue sky and white sun.
His eyes seemed to be mixed with coldness.
“Li Qinyuan.”
Gu Wuyou shook his hand, “I want to see it.”
She wanted to see the world that she had never seen before, and how the world was buried in those splendid clusters.
Li Qinyuan looked back at her. When she saw her firm gaze, she opened her thin lips slightly and uttered a word, “Okay.” If you don’t know, it’s fine. Since you know, there is no reason to turn your head and leave, even if she doesn’t mention it. , He also plans to go there, but he will arrange a safe place for her in advance.
They buy a lot of dry food, but with so many people outside, it is estimated that these dry food will only be enough for them to eat for a few days.
Li Qinyuan simply left two guards and asked them to buy some more in the town where they came, and asked them to meet with local officials in the name of Wei Guogong, let them properly settle these people, and then rushed to Hankou with Gu Wuyou .
Along the way, they met many refugees, and the closer to Hankou, the more refugees.
Seeing such a situation, Li Qinyuan’s face that rarely shows emotions finally sank completely.
There seemed to be a raging fire in his heart, burning with anger, burning so much that his eyes were almost red. After seeing the people around him, he barely suppressed his emotions and said to her in a soft tone, “Man, you go to the inn first, I…”
The words are not over yet.
The hand was held by someone, Gu Wuyou looked at him with a serious expression and a decisive tone, “I will go with you.”
Li Qinyuan hesitated, and he was still outside. If he really went inside, he still didn’t know what kind of situation he would see. Like the people who defend Gu Wuyou, he didn’t want her to see that kind of situation. , He hopes that her world is still clean and beautiful, even if it is always so naive, but under Gu Wuyou’s gaze, he can’t say what she refuses.
He could only look at her with his lips pressed, and nodded for a while.
The carriage rushed forward. In addition to their own carriage, Li Qinyuan purchased several carriages with dry food and medicines. After the flood, the most feared thing was the occurrence of plague, and things were far better than they thought. It’s even scary…
The flood is over.
But the houses on both sides of the river were completely destroyed.
I can hear you across the carriage
The cries of their heads, men and women, young and old, they cried about their lost homes and their loved ones lost in the flood. The cry after another, like a dense net, reached their ears.
“Father! Mother!”
“My child, my child!”
“Father, wake up!”
…
Gu Wuyou looked at the situation outside in the carriage, her face was pale long ago, especially when she saw the corpses that were lying on the ground and swelled because they had been in the water for a few days, she couldn’t help but recite them. I retched.
Li Qinyuan quickly lowered the curtain, and while stroking her back, he poured a cup of tea for her, “Are you okay?”
Gu Wuyou shook his head, only retching, speechless, I don’t know how long it took before she took a sip of the tea that Li Qinyuan handed over, with red eyes, holding Li Qinyuan’s hand and red lips. Wei Zhang, but still can’t say a word.
Li Qinyuan knew what she wanted to say.
He sighed lightly, stroked her head, and then summoned Lin Qing to order: “Go and send the things we brought to the steward here, and…” His voice became darker. “Go and find out who is the official in charge of this matter now.”
“Yes.”
After Lin Qing left, neither of the two in the carriage spoke.
They are all the first time they have seen such a thing. If it is shocking, it is better to say that it is sad… The crying outside has not stopped, and there are crying voices that ring through the sky. Li Qinyuan watched Gu Wuyou become paler and paler. Her face held the person in her arms, and then she covered her ears with her hands.
“The owner.”
Li Qinyuan did not let go of Gu Wuyou, still covering her ears, patted her slightly trembling figure, and asked, “How is it?”
“Everything has been taken care of here.” Lin Qing replied from the outside of the car. “The local prefect, whose surname was Sun, was originally in charge of this matter. However, an adult from the capital came here this morning, and now he is here in Hankou. Several officials, all passed.”
Over there in the capital?
Li Qinyuan twisted his eyebrows, “Who is it?”
Lin Qing replied in a low voice: “The adult’s surname is Shen, with a single name in Shao.”
