Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 162. The Incident
We rushed as fast as we could, but still arrived at the campsite after the entire land had become damp. Fortunately, there were many large trees and a patch of dry ground due to the light drizzle.

It can block the rain, but it doesn't offer much protection from the wind. People can only line up their cars in a circle to block the cold wind to some extent.

Gu Kaiyuan removed the cart frame from the ox, and Huang Pingguo led the ox to graze. Gu Kaiyuan and Zhuang Datou began gathering firewood and fetching water.

That's the good thing about reaching a fixed campsite; the guards know where the water source is, so they don't have to search for it like headless flies.

Everyone was busy, and because they were all gathered in a circle with people in the middle, Gu Kaiyuan had no way to avoid the Gu family this time.

The Gu clan members were mostly hardworking ordinary people, and they cooperated better. Gu Kaiyuan and his group had just finished building their stoves when the others had already started cooking.

However, seeing that they were dressed in thin clothes, Gu Kaiyuan sighed silently, knowing there was nothing he could do.

Fortunately, they were all from poor farming backgrounds and were very good at working. In a short time, they had gathered a large pile of firewood. As long as there was enough firewood and there was no heavy rain tonight, it wouldn't be too difficult to get through the night.

There were plenty of dead branches under the grove. If all else failed, one could climb the trees and break the remaining branches. Gu Kaiyuan was preoccupied with his thoughts that day and didn't want to go far to pick them up, so he jumped up a tree and broke off some dry branches.

Others were also tempted, but apart from the Gu clan and the escorts, no one else could do it. These pampered people couldn't even climb a tree, let alone stand on it to take dead wood.

As more and more firewood accumulated on Gu Kaiyuan's side, Gu Kaiping came over again with his two children.

Gu Kaiyuan ignored him; he knew that his arrival was never a good thing.

"Open source, it's too cold now, and the clothes we prepared here aren't thick enough. Do you have any extras here?"

Gu Kaiyuan said, "Brother, I borrowed these clothes from Datou and the others, so I can't help you with this."

It's still early, you should hurry and gather more firewood..."

“You have so much firewood here,” Gu Kaiping said, as if he had been waiting for this sentence. “Father is old and injured. We can’t let him get cold.”

After saying that, he instructed Gu Anliang and Gu Anwei, "You two boys, hurry up and move the firewood back, or your grandfather will freeze."

Bai Suihe looked at Gu Kaiping in disbelief. This was an evolution that happened day by day. He could even talk to himself and make decisions for others.

Just as the two children were fighting, screams suddenly came from the Gu family's side.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Gu Anliang and Gu Kaiping simultaneously stopped what they were doing and nervously looked in their direction.

However, there were still several houses in between, so they couldn't see clearly. At this moment, they didn't care about the firewood in their hands, and the father and son turned around and ran towards their own home.

Gu Anwei, who was left behind, looked back and forth, gritted his teeth, and dragged the two largest dead branches back with difficulty.

Bai Suihe, “…” This Gu family, from the oldest to the youngest, has never had a simple one.

Instantly, I thought of the baby in my arms, who will also have the surname Gu. It was a very hypocritical thought, but it's okay if it's not simple, which means I won't suffer any losses.

However, you must never learn from the Gu family's various bad habits.

Just then, her belly moved slightly. Bai Suihe thought the baby had woken up, but it turned out the baby was just turning over and then went quiet again.

Bai Suihe was really curious, but she wouldn't rush over recklessly. She remembered that today was a turning point in her life, and for the sake of her and her baby's lives, she was prepared to try her best to stay put today.

"Miss, let us help you sit over there. The young master found a very good tree; it's big, and there's a large hollow in it." Chunxiang had already cleared the hollow, big enough for Bai Suihe's head to hide inside and avoid the wind. Bai Suihe's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this. Gu Kaiyuan was becoming more and more considerate; no wonder he was so proactive in finding a place to stay this time—this was premeditated.

However, she didn't recall the book mentioning such a place. It seems that only those who have actually experienced it know more, rather than relying on a superficial description.

"Why are you still here?" Bai Suihe was surprised to see Gu Kaiyuan following behind them. It was Gu Antong who had just screamed.

Gu Kaiyuan said firmly, "I'm not going anywhere today."

Bai Suihe, "..." I'm afraid things won't go as planned. The Gu family might not think of them when something good happens, but they'll definitely be involved when something bad happens.

No sooner had they sat down than Gu Anwei, who had just left with two pieces of firewood, rushed back in a hurry. "Third Uncle, Grandfather wants you to come over."

Bai Suihe raised an eyebrow at Gu Kaiyuan. See, here comes the work.

Gu Kaiyuan clutched his stomach. "No, Uncle's stomach hurts. Tell your grandfather to let me rest for a bit before you come over."

Gu Anwei rolled his eyes and sat down next to Gu Kaiyuan. "Third Uncle, it was my eldest sister who had a conflict with the Zhou family. She burned Zhou's sister's clothes and almost hurt someone."

Bai Suihe was quite impressed with this child who had always been unnoticed; it seemed that all the brains of the second branch of the family were in this child.

Gu Anwei looked at Dongmei and the others bustling around with some envy. It was clear that his third uncle's life was better. Even though they were exiled, they still had servants to wait on them, as if they were on a picnic.

If Mother had been more patient and taken better care of Aunt, they could have lived a similar life.

He had been looking for an opportunity to befriend his third uncle and the others, and now he had finally gotten his chance.

"Which Zhou family?"

Gu Kaiyuan knew the truth, but pretended to be clueless, since there were several people with the surname Zhou.

"It's the home of Imperial Censor Zhou Gang," Gu Anwei thought that his third uncle's place was really nice; the fire was burning brightly, which warmed his originally cold body.

I glanced at them with a hint of envy at their thick clothes. If I could have one of those, I wouldn't be freezing and getting a runny nose. It's just too unseemly.

But there was nothing he could do; things weren't like before. He could only pull up his sleeves and occasionally cover it up, trying to wipe it off as well.

Although he tried to be discreet, Bai Suihe had already seen it and could only try not to stare at the child.

"I don't know what went wrong with the eldest sister. When the Zhou family sister came back from gathering firewood, she happened to pass by her. Perhaps her skirt accidentally touched her, so she forcefully tore the skirt to shreds and threw it into the fire."

Because of this tug-of-war, Zhou's older sister fell to the ground and almost fell into the fire.

Bai Suihe pouted. She didn't understand the point of Gu Antong's actions. The Zhou family girl hadn't provoked her. Could it really be that her clothes had just touched her?

Sometimes conflicts arise from trivial matters. However, because of this conflict, the original owner paid the ultimate price, losing both her life and her unborn child.

Gu Kaiyuan and the others remained silent, and Gu Anwei didn't seem to care. "Madam Gu also saw this scene, so she rushed over and grabbed the eldest sister to beat her..."

It's almost the end of the month, my darlings! If you still have any votes left, please give them to me!
