Relying on her own agility, she had ran out of the city from the Marquis Mansion. Her heart was set on not being found, but instead, she subconsciously headed towards the direction of Gu Yun's villa, thinking that if Marquis Mansion could not tolerate her, she would first lie in the manor. However, she did not expect the snow outside the city to be buried even higher than in the city, making it impossible for her to travel forward.
When she ran out of the city, she had forgotten to bring the cape. Now that her hair had gone from head to toe, she could no longer open her eyes due to the wind and snow, making it difficult for her to move a single step. Thus, Third Miss Gu began to regret, why did she need to run out of the city for, randomly finding a corner to hide in was better than now!
Gu Wan did not care about being angry anymore, she found a broken and abandoned temple, and squatted down at a relatively stable corner. Although the snow had buried her feet, she was still able to temporarily avoid the wind, and thought about how mighty Third Miss was normally. She did not expect that there would be a day when she would have nowhere to go, and the more she thought about it, the more sullen she became, so she could not help but burst into tears.
Her tears did not matter, but it alarmed the beggars who took up most of the space in the rundown temple. A few raggedly dressed beggars walked towards Gu Wan with unfriendly faces, and pointed at her: "Hey, where are you from? "He actually dares to come to our grandfather's territory!"
Gu Wan was startled, and thought, could it be that this place has an owner? She looked at the few thin and weak clothed men that surrounded her, and stood up, their violent temper instinctively erupting, "Where did this place say it was your territory! The road is facing the sky and we're walking to the other side. I'm not trying to get in your way, so why shouldn't I be here?! "
Gu Wan's anger had finally found a place to go, the atmosphere had scared the few men senseless, they had never seen such a sturdy lady, and seeing her dressed like a lady, they all had evil thoughts in their hearts.
"This woman isn't bad, the key point is that the ones on her are worth a lot of money. Brothers, since we stole her clothes, we won't have to worry about it this year."
"That's right, what are the brothers waiting for? Why aren't you guys fighting?"
No matter how foolish Gu Wan was, he knew what they were trying to do. These extremely poor and extremely hungry people could do nothing at all.
Being surrounded by a few men at the corner made Gu Wan look really pitiful, but in the end, Gu Wan was not some pretty girl, and was not afraid of them at all. Pointing at their noses, she said, "You guys are poor, even daring to pick the dirt on top of my head, if any of you dare to touch a single hair on my head today, I promise you will regret it for your entire lives!"
If they didn't regret it in the future, they wouldn't be able to live their entire lives anymore. Who would be able to care about their next lives? In any case, they would still die, so they might as well risk their lives and fight for it.
"This little girl is quite sharp-tongued. I want to see just how capable this grandaunt is!"
The leading man extended his hand to grab her, but Gu Wan blocked it with her foot, and with a kick, she kicked the man until he staggered, causing the people behind him to stagger back a few steps, "Oh, I underestimated her, brothers, let's go together!"
Although these beggars' abilities were not as good as hers, but their hard work was not weak at all. They were all guys that could snatch food from the jaws of a tiger, and in terms of endurance and effort, Gu Wan was not as good as them, and was slowly beginning to find it difficult.
As for Sheng Luan, he turned and looked around half of the city but did not even see Gu Wan, he really did not think that Gu Wan would leave the city. Then, with a sudden inspiration, he suddenly thought of something and thought that Gu Wan might go to Gu Yun's villa, he then went to the entrance of the city and asked the guards who were waiting there, only then did he confirm that Gu Wan had really run out of the city.
When he passed by that run-down temple, he was stunned for a moment. He hesitated for a moment as he walked in, but later on he heard some noise coming from inside, and finally decided to go over and take a look.
Later, Sheng Luan thought to himself, he was really glad that he took a glance at it, if not he would probably regret it for the rest of his life.
When Sheng Luan walked into the run-down temple, Gu Wan was already in a very sorry state. Most of the jewelry on her body had already been snatched away, and even her earrings had been pulled down, leaving behind bloodstains. Even her face was riddled with holes and her clothes were torn into pieces.
She did not have those noble young ladies' scruples. If her clothes were torn, they would be torn, and it would not be suicidal to seek death. However, even if she was to die, she could not die in such a miserable manner.
Seeing him like this, Sheng Luan felt an indescribable rage against his head, and immediately grabbed onto one of the dirty hands on Gu Wan's wrist and mercilessly broke it. Following that person's deafening shout, Sheng Luan knocked over several other beggars with a few kicks.
Sheng Luan carried Gu Wan in her embrace, and stepped on a person's neck, "Hand over the thing that you stole just now!"
The person was stepped on until he spat out blood, a few people saw that they had met a tough opponent, did not dare to fight recklessly, and obediently handed over the things. However, Sheng Luan still broke every one of their wrists and ankles, which could only be considered fatal for those who could survive in the cold and the sky, if they could not move, they could only wait to die.
"Woo woo Sheng Luan..." Sheng Luan didn't let go when he saw his like he was his family, as he pounced on his and didn't let go no matter what. With tears and snot flowing down his face, Sheng Luan's anger was completely wiped away by her and he couldn't bear to blame him, so he let her hang on to him in a good mood. He then helped her pack up his clothes and jewelry, and took off his cape to wrap her up, "Alright, don't cry anymore, let's leave this place first."
Gu Wan was a rare beauty, she could not help but admit that Sheng Luan enjoyed it, why did he have to do it, he did not dare talk back, only saying in his heart that he would make her suffer a few more times, if not, she would be at a loss all day long.
Gu Guan was injured, so Sheng Luan could only carry her. Gu Guan gripped her sleeves tightly, like a frightened deer." Wu, Sheng Luan, I'm already homeless. Can you take me in?
Sending you to Xuanchen's courtyard first was something they would do if they went looking for you. With such a big snow, do you really have the heart to think that they would look for you outside? "
"No no no! Then I don't need you to send me off. I'll leave by myself, just go back and tell them that I'm fine. "
Gu Wan tried to struggle free from Sheng Luan's embrace and punched and kicked his without any reason. Sheng Luan was thoroughly enraged and threw her down, "Can you still understand now! Why are you making such a ruckus? Weren't you at a disadvantage just now? "Where can you go yourself!"
Go away, all of you. It's my bad luck if I'm going to die outside. In any case, they all felt I was too embarrassed to get married. Even if I die, I won't go back to Hou Mansion. From the beginning, they didn't care about me at all, I was just a substitute …
Sheng Luan had never seen this kind of Gu Wan,he had always thought that she was always careless, whether it was arguing with her or fighting with her, she was never afraid of her being angry or petty, all of the girls that Sheng Luan had seen before were like delicate flowers that had been held in their hands, and they would always speak softly and without any meaning, which was also why he was willing to play with Gu Wan.
But now, he realized that she was hiding something in her heart, and she might be injured or even worried about it. Previously, he thought that she had left home because of her violent temper, but now, it seemed that she really had something on her mind. Sheng Luan was so troubled by her crying that he didn't know how to comfort her, so he squatted down and pulled her into his embrace again, "Alright, I understand. I won't bring you back, but can you tell me why?"
Gu Wan cried until she was out of breath, "Yes, yes, they want to send me to the palace, I, I … "Wuu, I won't go even if I die. She even said that I don't have the appearance of a girl and that I can't get married. Since they dislike me like this, then why did they raise me up?"
Sheng Luan clenched his fists tightly. He clearly knew that his decision was wrong, but right now, he wanted to let her go. Whether she wanted to go home or lose his temper, he was willing to cooperate.
"It's because they have a bad eye. Although it's true that you don't look like a girl, there will definitely be people who will like you."
Gu Wan raised her head and looked at him, Sheng Luan helped her wipe her tears away, "Zhuang Zi is too far away, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it, so I'll bring you to one of my side yards first, if you look at your face, it's frozen solid, if you freeze too much, you won't be able to get married."
"Sheng Luan, will you accompany me like this? If I'm really homeless, can you keep taking me in? When you go to the battlefield, I also want to go with you, because I'm not a noble lady, I don't even want to stay in the backyard all day. You, will you dislike me in the future, if you're in a difficult situation, I …"
"I don't despise you." "I will accompany you forever. If you eat too much, I will ask Xuanchen for money, and as for the battlefield, you are still far from it, and would need to fight with your life on the line. You have to learn how to be strong, you can't be angry and you can't cry …"
Sheng Luan talked the entire way, the imprints he made while stepping on the snow remained firm and unswerving. Each of these imprints carried an oath regarding accompany and follow.
