Chapter 4
Chapter 4:
Gu Qingan lay on the bed, kicked off his shoes, and slept in his clothes.
I do not know how long it has been.
dong dong.
“Miss Gu, it’s dinner time, do you want to bring it to you?”
Gu Qingan woke up and got up from the bed.
“No need, I’ll go down to eat.”
Putting his feet into the black moccasin boots he kicked off earlier, Gu Qingan stood up, took a shower, straightened his white clothes and blue trousers, and smiled with satisfaction when he saw his snow-skinned appearance in the mirror. , go downstairs.
“Dad is so cute.”
Just like playing Lao Gun in his previous life, he liked to play MOD and pinch a beautiful grabbing treasure. Although Gu Qingan was a boy in his previous life, he still cared about his appearance in this life.
Boss Cheng had already mentioned that the servant should not neglect Gu Qingan. The servant also knew the importance and had prepared dinner for her.
Two simple farmhouse side dishes, plus half a bowl of white-cut chicken, and egg custard, the taste is not bad.
“Huh?” While having dinner in the lobby, Gu Qingan glanced and saw a petite figure outside the inn door staring at her dinner in a daze.
The little servant standing beside Gu Qingan also noticed it and followed her line of sight.
Seeing the little figure, he strode over and said angrily, “You little beast is here to steal food again!”
The boy raised his hand and gestured to fight.
what! A shrill scream filled with fear rang out.
“Stop and bring her here.” Gu Qingan stopped the servant.
“Sir, this little beast is very dirty, you…” The little servant’s face tightened, and he quickly persuaded.
Gu Qingan looked intently, and the little figure was a girl of eight or nine years old. It was already autumn, but she was still wearing a thin bunt summer coat, revealing her bony limbs, and her body was blue and purple. It was obvious that she had been beaten a lot, and her hair was messy. Yes, only two eyes, very bright.
“Go get her something to eat.”
For such a small child, Gu Qingan was still willing to show kindness.
“Thank you, thank you sister.” The little guy took the sweet potatoes brought by the servant, and seemed to dare not wait any longer, and walked out of the inn timidly.
Seeing the little girl who was holding a piece of sweet potato nibbling on the threshold of the inn, Gu Qingan asked casually, “What’s this child’s name, what’s the matter at home?”
The servant said: “This child’s name is Liu Lan. Her family moved from another place. It is said that her father was in business before and had a lot of wealth. Unfortunately, a few years ago, her parents contracted the plague and both died, leaving only her and one of them. Brothers depend on each other.”
“That wouldn’t be the case, would it?” Gu Qingan raised his eyebrows.
I get it, the rural areas are exhausted.
Both parents died, and the family was rich. Moved from abroad again, without relatives or reasons. Isn’t this the best object to eat the dead?
But anyway, there is a brother who is reduced to picking up garbage to eat… This is too outrageous, right?
The servant hesitated for a moment, looked around, looked around, and said in a low voice, “Sir, please don’t say it, the county magistrate collected the taxes owed for many years in the past few years. It’s easy to be bullied, so the licheng deliberately allocated a lot to her family.”
“Just to force her family to sell the farmland, his brother would not sell it.”
The little boy paused: “To be honest, the ri-long is a bit too much. A good paddy field of 20 acres is not expensive on weekdays, but if the li-long gives 5 taels per mu, he has to buy it. Who would buy it? Will you sell it?”
Gu Qingan learned from memory that under Dacheng’s rule, a hundred families were one li, and a few large households with many fields were selected to be the head of the li in turn. Responsible for tax collection and corvée.
“What happened later?” Gu Qingan asked.
With a hint of fear on his face, the servant said softly, “The chief came from a wealthy family, and he has long since colluded with the county clerk. With a stroke of a pen, he added an adult strong man to the Liu family, and let her family’s sons be responsible for repairing the river. Corvage of the Embankment.
“And then dispatched a servant to beat her brother before the corvée, and Liu Jiazi couldn’t even get up from the bed, so he was carried to the river bank and disappeared within two days. drowned in the river.”
“The rior insisted that Liu Jiazi had escaped and swallowed up 20 acres of her family’s fertile land in the name of escaping from corvée. The original house and courtyard were gone, and only a small earthen house was left for her at the edge of the village.”
Gu Qing’an’s face sank, his brows filled with anger, and he said indignantly, “Is there no one who can’t see it?”
“Ah, many people can’t see it, but after the fields are grown, they are rented out at a price that is basically free. They are all good paddy fields, and everyone is soft on them, so they don’t say anything about it. ”
Gu Qing’an’s face turned completely cold.
“Humph!”
This world is so dark.
She thought about it and threw a tael of silver to the little servant.
“When Liu Lan comes back in the future, you can give her something to eat.”
When the servant saw Yin Zi, his eyes lit up, “This lady, you know it.”
“Don’t think about swallowing the money, I will come again.” Gu Qingan said coldly.
She is not a Virgin, and she has no idea of saving anyone. Taking Liu Lan out of here is too much trouble. Gu Qingan will not do this for someone who is not a relative or an acquaintance, but he will still be able to help as much as he can.
Without giving Liu Lan money directly, Gu Qingan wouldn’t stay here for too long. In such a village, giving her money would only harm her.
That’s good, watching Liu Lan finish eating, she left timidly.
Gu Qingan, who was thinking of “doing a good deed today”, smiled and sat on the bench in the lobby of the inn, shaking her slender legs comfortably.
after awhile.
“Miss Gu! I heard it!” There was a burst of eager footsteps outside the inn, accompanied by Wang Zhi’s excited shouting.
He came in from outside the inn with a torch.
“The owner of that room is named Liu, and his name is Liu Lan! It’s a little girl.”
Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Revenge
“Liu Lan?!” Gu Qingan was stunned.
“Yes, her parents died early, and her only elder brother is missing. She is the only five-year-old girl who lives there.”
Gu Qingan didn’t bother to answer, and took three steps and two steps to the door of the inn, but the sky was completely dark, and there was no sign of Liu Lan.
Gu Qingan frowned and sighed.
“Miss Gu, what’s wrong?” Wang Zhi asked nervously.
“There may be demons in this village. I sensed demonic energy in that room before.”
Hiss, Wang Zhi opened his eyes and took a breath.
It was impossible for Gu Qingan to say the system, so he just explained it a little bit with a demonic expression.
“That little girl may be in danger…” Gu Qingxin’s head sank slightly, and he took a step to go out.
Looking into the distance, Songjiazhuang was completely dark and silent, and there was only a little candle light in the inn.
“This broken place, how come there is not even a watch.”
Gu Qingan has always claimed that he is not afraid of the dark. In his previous life, it was common to drink and dance at night, but at that time, the streets were full of street lights, and all kinds of 24-hour neon lights in shops were always on, and the lights were still bright at night, so he was naturally not afraid of the dark.
But now that she has arrived at this ancient village, the darkness around her is like thick ink that cannot be melted away, making it prohibitive.
Thinking about the demons in the dark again, Gu Qingan hesitated.
“Miss Gu, let’s not go.” Wang Zhi’s voice trembled.
Gu Qingan looked out of the inn and said nothing for a while.
She took out a copper coin with a round square hole, with “Dacheng Tongbao” engraved on the front and “Vertical” on the reverse.
Chuizheng is the reign name of the current emperor.
Gu Qingan put the copper coin on the back of his thumb and tossed it in the air, “Go to the front, not the reverse.”
Snapped.
The copper coin falls in the middle of the palm, “hanging upright”.
Close your palms.
Gu Qingan was silent and said to himself in his heart.
‘After all, he’s just a stranger with no relatives and no reason. ’
‘I thought about saving her, but she just wasn’t very lucky. ’
‘There is no need to risk your life. ’
She walked towards the stairs step by step.
“Fuck!” Gu Qingan scolded, and turned around suddenly, his face was indescribably irritable.
“You, give me the torch.” She pointed to Wang Zhi.
“Ah?!” Wang Zhi subconsciously handed over his torch.
“Miss Gu, wait…”
Gu Qingan took the torch and walked towards the darkness.
Probably because he knew that the little wild cat he had just fed would be run over by a car in five minutes, Gu Qingan felt that he had to do something.
When she walked out of the inn, she threw the copper coin in her hand again, did not pick it up, and let it fall on the ground without looking at it.
Thinking of that little girl, I muttered in my heart, “Don’t die.”
“Don’t die.”
“Miss Gu, wait for me!” Wang Zhi watched Gu Qingan walk out of the inn, gritted his teeth, and walked out with a lantern from the inn.
“What are the two of them doing?” Lin Yao, who came down from the upstairs, happened to see this scene, with a suspicious look on his face, took the last lantern of the inn, and followed quietly with courage.
The lobby of the inn was quiet, only a little light flashed on the ground, and upon closer inspection, it was a copper coin.
“Dacheng Tongbao”
up.
…
In the dark, two lights are bright.
Gu Qingan and Wang Zhi rushed towards the Liu family one after another.
Gu Qingan looked at the attribute column, she decided to add that point of hunting demons, if one dies and the points are not used up, then she really can’t rest.
Name: Gu Qingan
Repair: none
Strength: 1
Agility: 1
Constitution: 3
Defense: 1
Demon Hunter Points: 1
She pondered in her heart, “With punishment in hand, my lethality is definitely enough, I don’t need to consider my strength, my physique already has three points, and it doesn’t make much sense to add it.
That’s just agility and defense.
“Agile, meaningless.”
Her own family knows her own affairs, she is completely a novice who doesn’t understand martial arts, Gao Minui may be very good in the hands of martial arts practitioners, but in her case, she might disrupt her rhythm.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Qingan turned his attention to the defense.
With a move of the mind, the defensive attribute jumped, and it became two points.
In an instant, Gu Qingan felt the difference. There seemed to be an invisible force field all over her body, softly wrapping her. Her skin was still smooth and delicate, but she could faintly notice that the white light seemed to be stronger.
This layer of force field was covered with clothes, and Gu Qingan gently pulled his sleeves with his hand. The clothes that were originally just ordinary fabrics felt like the high-toughness material of the previous life.
Gu Qingan felt that this suit could at least protect against ordinary metal swords.
“It turns out that the constitution is the blood bar and resistance, and the defense is the armor and force field?”
She was an experienced gamer in her previous life, so she classified the bonus of attributes.
“Ah… sneeze…” Lin Yao from the back sneezed, “It’s so cold, what are these two going to do?”
