The wind blew against the thin linoleum, causing it to rustle. It seemed as if it could be torn apart at any time. Gu Qingyi's entire body was lying on the ground. Her hands subconsciously clenched tightly as her heart thumped wildly. In the miscellaneous books, she had seen the description of the edge plug. However, most of them described how vast the edge plug was, how free and unrestrained it was, and how it was endless.

In her heart, bordering on stuffing was an interesting place. Thus, when Gu Yinian brought her along, she almost didn't hesitate at all. On one hand, she wanted to stay with Gu Yinian for a while, so she thought that she might be able to change their relationship. On the other hand, Gu Qingyi felt that this was a pretty good place to play, and many people wouldn't have the chance to walk around in their entire lives. Thus, she was naturally in favor of it with both hands.

Of course, she wasn't that impulsive, or else she wouldn't have thought of it.

After all, in the outside world, anything could happen. With his master here, even if he met with some troublesome headache or fever, he would still be able to get treatment in time. And her father's familiarity with the Frontier meant that she didn't have to worry about danger, so it was basically a double insurance. From her point of view, this was a trip to play, so she didn't have to worry about anything.

However, she didn't expect that …

"Don't be afraid, it will be over very soon. It's very common to see sandstorms like this at the border. A day will repeat itself many times, and this season is usually relatively small. However, it's not like there aren't any, and it'll be over very soon. Don't be nervous. " Although Gu Qingyi hadn't said anything, Gu Yinian was still able to keenly sense her uneasiness. He tightly held her small hand and comforted her in a low voice.

He had seen this type of sandstorm too many times. He didn't feel scared at all. He had encountered this situation too many times. It was just a temporary break. There shouldn't be any problems. However, he suddenly realized that he had indeed seen many things, but Gu Qingyi was different. She was just a little girl, a little girl who had been to the side for the first time and didn't understand anything.

"With me here, nothing will happen." Touching the little girl's head, Gu Yan Nian's tone softened.

Ever since he was young, he, Jiu Zi, a slave, had lived his life with all his might, so he didn't know anything about warmth. Even back then, when he had the best relationship with Princess Anping, he had never thought of being gentle.

However, facing this pale and frightened little girl, his heart suddenly felt very soft. His large hands held her tightly, holding her in his embrace, placing her at the center of his chest.

It was the first time Gu Qingyi had come so close to a person. In this position, she could coincidentally hear his heart beating non-stop. Hearing this kind of heartbeat, she suddenly felt safe and wanted to push him away, but for some reason, she suddenly felt reluctant. She felt as if she was missing this kind of safety and warmth …

"Can Daddy tell me about the past?" For some reason, she suddenly felt that she didn't understand her father at all. This was also the first time she had ever been interested in Gu Yan Nian's past.

Regardless of whether it was in her previous life or before today, she had never thought of getting to know Gu Yinian's past.

In her eyes, although Gu Yan Nian was her father, he was also Gu Xi's father. He was also Gu Huaiyan's father, and in his heart, he was no different from the other two. As a result, she had never thought of getting to know him. In her opinion, everyone was the same. There was only the difference between useful and useless.

However, at this moment, she suddenly felt a bit curious. Just how did her father lead the life in the past?

She remembered that in her previous life, someone had once said that Gu Yannan had originally been nothing more than a clod without a single background. However, he had relied on his courage and bravery to charge all the way over, eventually fighting alongside the emperor and winning the battle.

He was the hero in the hearts of all the commoners, and was even the target of all the disciples.

However, Gu Qingyi was not interested in how he had managed to get here, nor did she care about the difficulties he had gone through.

"Before? "Let me think." Gu Yan Nian obviously didn't think that his daughter would actually think of stopping his old story. It seemed like a long time had passed since the past, he couldn't remember when he suddenly had to say it. After thinking for a long time, he said slowly, "At that time, my father was still a child. Once again, he hid among the goods of a caravan and followed them. When he found them, I don't know how far he had gone."

Yes, back then he was just a seven or eight year old child and did not eat. Sometimes, he could really do anything just to eat, but it was still very difficult for him to eat his fill. Once, he saw a caravan and sneaked into the cargo area, where he could eat his fill, but who knew, after all, he was too young, he hid in the dark, and after eating, he became tired, so he fell asleep. When he woke up at dawn, he found he had been walking for a long time.

"And then? "What happened then?" Hiding in the cargo? Gu Qingyi looked at Gu Yan Nian with disbelief. In her eyes, Gu Yan Nian was a man of principle, a man of few words. He would definitely make his decision, no matter how difficult it was. Had such a person really done such a thing before?

Although she had been living in the outside world for many years, she had always followed her master. Although her master's temper was a little strange, she had never made herself hungry, so there was no way to think about it.

"Later on, at dawn, I didn't dare to come out. I could only hide inside the container and carefully stay inside. Luckily, there was only some food that was delivered, so I didn't have to worry about getting hungry. I will stay there happily during the day, and when those people fall asleep at night, I will carefully run out to exercise for a while, and then return back before dawn. " As Gu Yinian spoke, it was as if he was thinking about events from many years ago. Normally, he would only be a child and wouldn't know anything. The only thought in his mind was to eat his fill. He was not afraid of anything just to eat a mouthful of food.

Those who had never experienced it would never know that in a situation like this where people were always hungry and cold, but could never eat their fill, they could do anything they wanted. This was what he had been like all those years ago.

He did not even think about what would happen to him when he arrived at the destination and found out that the goods were gone and there was one more person inside.

At that time, he only thought of being able to eat his fill, nothing else mattered.

That's right, there was only one thought in his mind, and that was to at least eat his fill. Let's talk about other matters in the future.

"Then, then did they discover you?" Gu Qingyi was a little nervous as she clenched her fists and looked nervously at Gu Yan Nian.

At the same time, his mind was thinking of a child hiding in a container, if … What would happen if someone found out? He didn't even need to think to know what would happen.

"Hur hur, what do you think?"

Gu Yinian suddenly smiled, but didn't say anything. Instead, he put on a show.

Did he notice that Gu Qingyi was looking at Gu Yan Nian with a puzzled expression? How did he know about such a thing?

However, he still couldn't help but guess …

"No, I guess not!" After a long time, Gu Qingyi suddenly shouted.

No, she didn't.

It was obvious that Gu Yinian did not expect her to guess at this point. He could not help but smile, "Why?"

Yes, why? Why did she guess that she had not discovered him?

In this situation, wasn't it supposed to be a guess that he would find out? "Why would anyone guess that it wasn't?"

Under Gu Yinian's gaze, Gu Qingyi slowly said, "Because I don't want them to discover you."

Yes, she didn't know why she guessed the answer, but she had a wish in her heart that she didn't want to find out.

At that time, his father was only a child, if he was found out by those people, then there would be no way for him to be alright. At that time, his father was just a child, if he was found out by those people, there would be no way for him to be fine.

"So it's like that." After a long time, Gu Yan Nian slowly emphasized the words as his expression slowly darkened.

Her deep eyes stared unblinkingly at Gu Qingyi.

At this moment, I don't know why, but his heart suddenly fills up, as if all the grievances and discontent he once felt suddenly become unimportant.

That's right, to be satisfied with such an easy thing, sometimes it just requires a sentence.

He had waited for so many years for this sentence, and the person who said it to him felt like his daughter.

One of them was An Ping. At that time, He Ping was so scared that his face was pale and he didn't dare to say a word as he quietly hid in his chest. He didn't say that it was him, but he didn't know if He Ping guessed it or not.

It was just that since then, An Ping treated her a lot better. Sometimes, he even found pity in her eyes.

However, this happened to be something he did not want to see. He had suffered a lot in his life and had seen a lot of things that people had never seen before, but he did not need pity.

The other was Lian Fengyue …

Although she was just an accident, since the crown prince felt that she was a woman, he was willing to try and have a good time with her.

What a pity …

"And then? Father? "

Gu Qingyi still couldn't help but urge him.

Gu Yan Nian faintly smiled, and after a long while he lightly said: "Qing Yi is really smart, you guessed right."

Yes, Gu Qingyi's guess was right. Those people really didn't discover him, because … It was because they had encountered a sandstorm, a terrifying sandstorm. The entire caravan had been blown away, and he, was very lucky … He had escaped a disaster because he was hiding in a container … He survived just like that …
