Leave the clan!
This was Mo Qing Wu's persistent wish for more than a year. Especially after the marriage proposal a few days ago, Mo Qing Wu had completely lost hope in her clan.
She couldn't be protected here! She could only be used as a tool.
Over the past year, Mo Qing Wu had been naively hoping that her father would change his mind and that her clan would be kinder to her.
After all, it wasn't my fault that my Three Yin Meridian was destroyed. I was the victim! I didn't want the clan to nurture me like before, but … please at least treat me as a child of the clan …
Even when the clan was nurturing me, I didn't offend anyone. I greeted everyone with a smile. Everyone praised me for being obedient. Why are they ignoring me now?
She had been hoping for a year, but all she got was despair.
The marriage proposal of the Meng Clan had extinguished the last bit of light in Mo Qing Wu's heart.
She wanted to leave here.
Leave here and go to Cang Lan Battlefront. Brother Chu Yang's brothers are all there. I just need to find one. I will wait for Brother Chu Yang there …
But … I have never gone out by myself. This route needs to be carefully planned …
Mo Qing Wu spent a few days asking around. No matter what was in the house, she wouldn't take it away. First, it belonged to the Mo Clan. She didn't want to take it away. Second … if she took it away, she was afraid that she would be discovered immediately …
Even her most beloved scabbard was left at home. Everyone in the Mo Clan knew that this was Mo Qing Wu's most beloved treasure. As long as the scabbard was still there, Mo Qing Wu wouldn't disappear.
She thought for a long time and tried her best to think thoroughly. Regarding this matter, she had been pondering in her little heart. She didn't discuss it with anyone …
She took one last look at the room … and the scabbard on the pillow. Then, she walked out without any reluctance.
"Mother, I want to go out and play …" Mo Qing Wu looked at Madam Mo, "These days have been so boring …"
"Good! I will immediately send someone to accompany you. " Madam Mo was pleasantly surprised. Her daughter had been more and more depressed and silent these days. She was also worried. Now that she finally proposed to go out and play, she could take it as a distraction. At least her mood would be better …
"There's no need for that. I'll just fly a kite in the nearby grassland … Then, I want to go to the Wild Goose River to look at the river water, and play with the water … While I'm at it, I want to see if I can catch any fish." Mo Qing Wu pretended to be light-hearted and smiled.
"Naughty!" Madame Mo said angrily, "You are already a big girl, yet you still want to play in the water and catch fish …" She muttered to herself irresolutely for a moment before saying, "Alright. Go, don't forget to come back early. "
"It's okay … I have a few copper coins with me. I can still buy some things." Mo Qing Wu took out a dozen copper coins and shook them.
"Haha, go ahead." Madam Mo did not take it to heart.
"Then … Mother, your daughter will leave now …" Mo Qing Wu looked at her mother and said softly.
It never occurred to Madam Mo that the words' Mother, I'm leaving 'meant that her daughter was saying goodbye to her for a long time. She only stroked her daughter's hair and said sadly, "Go and relax … Xiao Wu, some things … can't be forced. You have to understand the family …"
"Hmm …" Mo Qing Wu lowered her head. No one could see that the last bit of light in her eyes was quietly extinguished …
Understand the family? You mean sacrificing me, right? I understand the family, but … what should I do?
She lowered her head and thought for a moment before walking out. Behind her, Madam Mo sighed softly … It was because of her poor aptitude that she was betrothed at an early age. She thought that her daughter was born with Three Yin Meridians and would have a happy life. She did not expect that her daughter … would have the same fate as her …
Mo Qing Wu walked out of the small courtyard briskly. She raised her small face and greeted everyone she saw. She smiled sweetly and walked out.
She walked out of the Mo clan's gate.
When she walked out of the gate, she even hugged the two stone lions at the gate for a while. She jumped on the lion's head and tiptoed to look at the house …
The guards at the gate smiled faintly. Miss is already eleven years old and tall, but she is still so naughty …
"Let's go …" Mo Qing Wu waved her hand. Under the guard's smile, she turned her head and ran away briskly …
The moment she turned her head, Mo Qing Wu's eyes were a little red. She bit her lips hard, trying her best not to cry. Then, she raised her head and looked at the morning sun that had just risen. The sunlight shone on her hair, turning it into a light golden color.
She walked briskly all the way to the grassland behind the Mo clan's residence. Mo Qing Wu held her chin and looked at a few eight year old children playing on the grassland for a while. Then she walked all the way to the east and walked to the Wild Goose River. She leaned on the river and looked at something for a while …
No one saw that she had smeared something on her face at this moment. Her originally elegant and cute little face suddenly turned black.
She saw a small boat coming from afar. There were a few people standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the scenery on both sides of the river with their hands behind their backs …
Mo Qing Wu then jumped down and jumped onto the riverbed. She first looked at the people on the boat and felt a little relieved. Then she waved her hand vigorously.
The boat stopped and an old man walked out. He had a square face and big ears. His hair and beard were all white. He looked at her with amazement, "Little girl, you …"
"I want to go home …" Mo Qing Wu's little mouth flattened and her eyes were red, "My house is right there, just follow the river … Grandpa, can you give me a ride? I'll give you money … "
As she spoke, she took out a pitiful amount of silver and looked at the old man pitifully.
Mo Qing Wu knew that one shouldn't show off one's wealth.
"Poor little girl, did you get separated from your family?" The old man sighed sympathetically, "Come on up, a little girl like you doesn't need silver …"
"Thank you, grandpa …" Mo Qing Wu obediently bowed and briskly boarded the boat. She hid her small body in the cabin …
"My home is in Liuhe Town, which is two hundred or more than one hundred kilometers below us …" Mo Qing Wu blinked her eyes and innocently said, "Daddy was doing business, so I followed him out to play. However, I followed a monkey and couldn't find daddy in the end …"
"Liuhe Town …" The old man was obviously a very kind old man. Yes, this was also the reason why Mo Qing Wu dared to board the boat …
"Next time, don't run around. There are so many bad people … Poor little girl." The old man sighed and patted Mo Qing Wu's head, "Give the little girl some food … Are you hungry?"
"Yes …" She nodded timidly.
The old man was just an ordinary businessman and didn't take this matter seriously. Every time before Mo Qing Wu ate or drank, her little hand would intentionally or unintentionally reach into the bowl … On her finger, there was a thin and ordinary looking ring — the Poison Testing Ring.
Although she was young, she was extremely careful … If she fell into someone else's trap, she would never see Brother Chu Yang again …
Mo Qing Wu secretly looked at the Mo Clan's plains which were getting farther and farther away from her cabin. Her eyes were fixed and she bit her lips … Home used to be the place she was most attached to. But now, she had to leave.
Mo Qing Wu would no longer exist in the Mo Clan.
Mother, take care!
When they arrived at Liuhe Town, Mo Qing Wu politely bid farewell to the old man and went ashore. She disappeared into a willow forest with a wave of her hand … The old man watched her go with a reluctant look on his face. In this short period of time together, he was already full of love for this well-behaved little girl …
"Sir, this young lady … has been very vigilant this whole journey." The guard walked behind him and reminded him.
"Don't worry about it. A little girl is outside, so it's normal to be vigilant." The old man stroked his beard disapprovingly and said with a smile, "If only this old man had such a granddaughter …" He let out a long sigh as he spoke.
…
Mo Qingwu found the market in Liuhe Town and bought a set of gray men's clothing. Then, she changed out of her clothes, put on a hat, and dyed her face a bronze color. Her thin and weak body that had not yet started to develop instantly turned into a thin and ordinary-looking man …
Then, she asked around and found a mule and horse company. She spent ten taels of silver to hire a carriage. She ate and lived in the carriage and headed east …
Three days later, Mo Qing Wu got down from the carriage and bought a horse to pull the carriage with a piece of gold. She mounted the horse and galloped away. Her small figure slowly disappeared into the horizon …
At this moment, she was already more than a thousand miles away from the Mo Clan …
She was very careful along the way. She had thought about everything hundreds and thousands of times in her heart. Unexpectedly, she was scared but not in danger … However, from now on, she had to travel thousands of miles to the Cang Lan Battlefront. She was at a loss on this long journey. She did not know where her future lay.
She also did not know how many dangers a child like her would encounter on this journey. Spirit beasts, wild beasts, villains, robbers, thieves …
She only knew that she had to go to the Cang Lan Battlefront! That was her only hope …
In her previous life, Mo Qing Wu also ran away from home because she was forced to marry. In this life, she still walked on the same path … However, in this life, she ran away two years earlier than in her previous life …
There was another difference … in her previous life, she did not even have the goal of going to the Cang Lan Battlefront. After leaving the clan, she found a place to hide. Moreover, her heart was filled with despair …
But in this life, at least she had hope and a goal in her heart …
…
At this time, the Mo Clan was already in chaos!
Mo Qing Wu had disappeared.
She did not return that night. Madam Mo felt strange. Together with Mo Xing Chen, she went to Mo Qing Wu's small courtyard to check. When they opened the door, they saw that the room was in order. When they opened the bedroom door, they saw that the tattered scabbard was still as usual. It was hidden under the pillow like a treasure, half of it exposed …
The two of them were relieved.
After all, the surrounding hundreds of miles was the Mo Clan's territory. Nothing would happen to Mo Qing Wu. But not returning for a night, something was not right …
The next day, they went out to inquire and slowly found the riverside. Finally, they confirmed that Mo Qing Wu had run away from home!
Mo Xing Chen was furious!
