New Life of Broken Cedar - C80
“That won’t do. We just entered and will have to wait for a few more months before we leave.” The little man paused, then said, “But I can ask the other beggars to take you out.”
Gu Moyan nodded. If it was in a few months, this place would probably be overrun by officials. It would be better to leave earlier. He said thanks again, but he didn’t say a word from the beginning until the two of them fell asleep on the other side of the room.
Gu Moyan discovered that his back was already slightly drenched, and he was still afraid of talking to strangers. If it wasn’t for the darkness covering Gu Moyan’s face, they would have realized that his face was pale and his cheeks were covered in blood, making him look extremely nervous.
However, when he regained his composure, the last time he and Bu Yuntian did not feel this tensed up but instead felt very comfortable. Unlike the time he was at ease with Ximen Qingfeng, he felt a bit humbled in front of Mo Gu Han. He was the type of person who could wholeheartedly rely on him, so he wasn’t that nervous, right?
On the second day, before they could get up, Gu Moyan went out alone. The snow had already melted from the night before, so he buried his bag in the ground and followed the flower seed out of the city.
He was going to disguise himself as a beggar and leave the city with those people. He first grabbed a handful of mud and smeared it all over his face, especially the location of the bones. The shape of his face was easy for others to recognize. As for the eyes, this … No one should notice. Then he jumped around in the mud until the clothes were no longer what they had been.
When Gu Moyan left, the sky was already bright. Although she said that the sun hadn’t risen, it didn’t seem too cold either.
The first one to be surprised was that brother. His big brother only glanced at him for a bit, but didn’t ask anything. When the smaller one saw Gu Moyan like this, he immediately blurted out, “What are you doing? “Why are you so ugly, falling into a shitty pit?” It was still as beautiful as the night before.
Gu Moyan’s eyes widened slightly, but she didn’t say anything. She was feeling a little helpless in her heart, “I accidentally fell, that’s all.”
“Oh.” The little guy nodded and didn’t ask any further questions. He grabbed his hand and walked out. “I’ll take you to see the head of the Flower Prince. Let’s discuss this a little bit more.”
Just like that, Gu Moyan was dragged all the way to a rather dark alley before finally coming to a stop.
The mouth of the alleyway was filled with rubbish, discarded food, unusable daily necessities, and unknown dogs that dropped what looked like human arms. Flies were flying everywhere on the alleyway.
“Ugh …” Gu Mo Yan thought of Wu Qi who was in the palace, and his physiological reaction immediately surged.
“Ai ai ai, stop looking and quickly go in.” The two of them stepped over the pile of trash and entered the depths of the alley.
“Big Brother, this ….” Aye, a mute. He wants to go out of the city with you. The little man found the head of the beggars in the crowd and handed him two taels of silver that Gu Moyan had given them last night.
The head of the bunch of beggars was a very burly man. He monopolized the entire alley, and the people around him were about two to three feet away from him. When he opened his eyes and glanced at Gu Moyan, he realized that Gu Moyan was small and small, and was covered in filth.
