Chapter 76 Sister
Gu Junqing didn't expect Qi Yunjin to take action, so when he took action, she stood there calmly, looking at the two men who were running towards them, obviously wanting to rob or take revenge. She thought to herself that since the emperor wanted to take care of such matters, she certainly couldn't just stand by and watch.
We even have to deal with these two annoying guys.
Gu Junqing didn't take the two men seriously. Like Qi Yunjin, he stood there calmly until the two men were about to touch him. Then he punched them suddenly, and knocked the two men down one by one.
Gu Junqing stepped on the neck of one man, and grabbed the other one with his hands and strangled the man.
Looking at Qi Yunjin, his eyes remained unchanged, and he even gave her the right to choose.
Gu Junqing thought about it and decided that it would be better to kill him to avoid trouble.
However, before she could make a move, the two men seemed to sense murderous intent and began to cry and yell, saying that they were wrong and begged her to let them go, saying that they would never dare to do it again.
There is not a single bit of useful information at all. It would be better to have two knife-handed attacks instead of one.
So the two men were knocked unconscious by Gu Junqing's two knife strikes.
At this time, Qi Yunjin had already walked up to the little beggar hiding in the corner.
The little beggar didn't move a single word, hugging himself and burying his head in his arms. He didn't know that there was someone standing in front of him. He only knew that it was very quiet around him. The two bad guys who had been crying for their parents just now and tried to steal the things in his arms suddenly fell silent!
At this time, everything finally quieted down. The little beggar shook his body in fear. His instinct told him not to look up, but he didn't look up. There was no sound in front of him, and he didn't know whether the two masked men had left. Curiosity and fear collided with each other. After all, the little beggar was still a child, so he was inevitably curious. Regardless of the fear in his heart, he raised his head carefully, but suddenly saw an enlarged version of the face wearing a tiger mask.
Little beggar: "..."
His face froze instantly, at this moment he was completely frightened by this man!
Gu Junqing quickly covered the little beggar's mouth with his hands to prevent him from screaming.
Qi Yunjin blinked and realized that his sudden move towards him had frightened the man.
So he stood up and waited for the little beggar to react.
The little beggar's mouth was sealed by Gu Junqing, and his big round eyes like black grapes stared straight at Gu Junqing in front of him.
After she put her hand down from his mouth, the little beggar was still looking at her, which made Gu Junqing feel confused and a little bit weird.
Then she saw the little beggar tilt his head and said two words with a curious look on his face: "Sister?"
Gu Junqing: “…”
Qi Yunjin: “…Puff.”
Gu Junqing's face turned red and white, and he didn't know how to react. He wanted to take action, but the little person in front of him had innocent eyes and looked like a little kid who knew nothing!
And the laughter of Qi Yunjin beside her brought her back to life.
She looked at the little beggar squatting on the ground, looking at her innocently. His pale face turned pink because of anger, as radiant as a peach, but his eyebrows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death. It was just that he was wearing a mask, so the two could not see it. They only heard her say angrily:
"I'm not a sister! I'm not a woman either!" The little beggar was frightened by her angry attitude and trembled all over. Seeing tears about to flow out of his big round eyes, Gu Junqing's face was cold and indifferent.
Qi Yunjin suddenly squatted down as if he had a change of heart, and looked at the little beggar at eye level, with a somewhat inquiring look in his eyes:
"Oh? How did you recognize that sister? We were both wearing masks."
Gu Junqing: “…”
Why did the emperor also call her sister? ! !
There's no way he would find out that I was dressed as a man, right?
She was so panicked that she didn't know how to interrupt the conversation between the two. She could only pretend to be calm and watch the little beggar holding the things in his arms. Finally, she raised her head and glanced at Qi Yunjin, and finally kept her eyes on her. Gu Junqing's heart trembled, and then she heard a sentence that made her speechless and childish:
"Because this sister has beautiful eyes"
Qi Yunjin choked, not understanding the little beggar's train of thought, but still subconsciously set his gaze on Gu Junqing.
Looking into her eyes, those eyes were filled with confusion and anger, as if they were ready to teach this little brat a lesson at any time for calling her, a general, "sister"!
But what the little brat said made a lot of sense. General Gu's eyes were indeed clear and bright, as if everything in the world was reflected in her eyes as clear and spotless, pure and flawless.
He was distracted for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Gu Junqing staring at him. Qi Yunjin couldn't help laughing, shook his head helplessly, stood up, and looked at the little beggar who was still staring at him.
His eyes inadvertently fell on the little beggar's arms, and he asked casually:
"What's in your arms? Can you tell us?"
He was just asking casually and didn't expect the little beggar to answer him. He was thinking of turning around and going to Gu Junqing to comfort her.
Unexpectedly, the little beggar behind him agreed immediately and said directly:
"These are my mother and my father's ashes. I am going to find a beautiful place to build a clean and quiet home for my parents."
A clean and quiet...home?
Qi Yunjin fell silent. Even Gu Junqing, who was feeling depressed, was stunned. Regardless of being angry or depressed, she walked over, lowered her eyes, squatted down, and looked straight at the young boy in front of her. His face did not have the emotions she imagined, no sadness nor gloom, just a pure and clean smile, as if nothing had happened. It turned out that all deep emotions could be hidden deep in the eyes, emptiness, sadness, despair and helplessness.
What he held in his arms was just a jar of ashes, probably his parents' ashes put together.
Did he do all this by himself?
Gu Junqing could even imagine the despair and helplessness the young boy felt when he put his parents' bodies in the fire and burned them to ashes and then put their ashes together.
Now the boy was still smiling, but Gu Junqing felt that it would be better for him to cry. What was the point of showing off? So she had no expression on her face and patted the boy's dirty and messy head without hesitation. The boy was stunned, and even Qi Yunjin didn't understand her behavior, which seemed a bit inexplicable to them.
But for some reason, the young boy looked at Gu Junqing who was staring at him with indifference, and touched his hair, which seemed to be very strong just now but was actually just a light pat by her. His eyes became a little blurry for a moment, and he could not see the scene in front of him clearly.
He blinked, tears streaming down his eyes, and the young boy wiped his eyes casually:
"Sister, be gentle, it hurts!"
