"Bang~" The trembling sound of the gong sounded far away, and the back of the kitchen door was suddenly pushed open. Yang, who was holding up his pants, hurried towards the direction of the sound.
The long sound of gongs quickly attracted everyone in Niuxin Village. When Yang arrived, he saw a group of eunuchs delivering various things to the village in front of a neatly organized motorcade.<
/p>
Among them were live pigs, cattle and sheep, bolts of silk and satin, and piles of gold and silver.
When other people in the village saw this scene, they were immediately amazed and discussed fiercely with each other.
"Did I hear correctly just now? This is all given to us by the emperor?"
"It's not for you, it's for my boss who is a Taoist priest."
"My dear, isn't Gouwa really bragging? The emperor is really his senior brother? Then we can be considered to have a relationship with the emperor, right?"
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Yang child poked his head and squeezed through the crowd when he saw his senior brother Li saying to an old eunuch holding a golden whisk: "Go back and tell Gao Zhijian, don't worry about Niuxin Village, I'm here. Everything is fine."
,Besides, Niuxin Village is not poor either.”
"Instead of giving these things away, he might as well learn how to be a qualified emperor."
"If the emperor of Daliang is a good emperor, not only the people of Niuxin Village, but also the people of the whole world will have a better life."
"Yes, I'm listening. I'll report it to the officials when I get back." The old eunuch with white powder on his face bowed respectfully towards Li Huowang.
When the old eunuch saw Yang child looking towards him, he apologized to Li Huowang and walked towards him with his whisk in his arms.
"My child, are you Yang Child?" Seeing the eunuch's deliberately kind smile, Yang Child nodded in confusion.
Glancing at the lively crowd around him, the old eunuch continued: "There are many people here with mixed opinions. Let's use a place to talk about your parents."
Hearing the other party's words, Yang's mind suddenly buzzed, and a sudden fear surged in his heart, as if he did not dare to face it.
"Let's go." The pear-faced woman followed from behind, holding his hand and chasing the eunuch who left.
Not long after the New Year, the fields were frozen to the bone. Between the field ridges, the old eunuch stopped silently, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over. "Now, you can see for yourself."
p>
Child Yang took it with trembling hands, hesitated for a while and then sent it back to the old eunuch tremblingly. "Eunuch, could you please help me read it? I don't dare to look at it."
"Hey, what's there to not dare to read?" Lao Tianjian stretched out his right hand with long nails, pulled back the paper, and began to read.
"This letter says that your father and your mother are not from Daliang, they are from Houshu. That's why the investigation took so long. Going back three generations, your family is all Dan people."
"Father, what are the Dan people?"
"The Dan people are people who live on the sea and have no land of their own. The women fish for pearls and the men fish with nets. Do you know what this means?"
"I know...I know." Yang child nodded in confusion.
"Then...how did my father and mother lose me?" As soon as Yang finished speaking, the woman beside him gently held his right arm.
The old eunuch glanced at Child Yang, and then at the letter in his hand. "In the years when you were born, there were not many fish or pearls in the sea, so your father sold you because he couldn't feed you."
Child Yang's face instantly turned pale, and he could hardly stand without the support of the woman beside him. "Father, is that it? They sold me so easily?"
During this period of time, he had thought about various possibilities, but he never imagined that things would be so simple, so simple that it was a bit cruel.
"What else can you do? Your family gave birth to nine children. It's normal to sell one of them if you can't support them. Our family couldn't support them either, so we were castrated and sent to the palace to be eunuchs." The old eunuch said.
, thrust the paper in his hand into Child Yang’s arms.
"Because you have been fishing for pearls in the sea for a long time, your mother has become deaf and weak. She probably doesn't have many years to live. Your father is still fishing at sea. Of your nine brothers and sisters, two have been sold, three have died, and the remaining
Four, your eldest brother went out to fish half a year ago and never came back. They are all Dan people too."
"It's written on the paper which sea they were fishing in. If you want to find them, find someone who can read and tell you. Our family is busy with other things, so we'll leave first."<
/p>
After saying that, Lao Tianjian turned around and left with his golden whisk, leaving only Yang child and the woman standing on the ridge of the field.
Child Yang took out the paper and looked at it carefully, even though he didn't recognize some of the words on it.
After looking at it for a while, Yang kid folded the paper neatly and stuffed it into his arms again.
He raised his head and smiled coquettishly at the woman, "Look, I thought I was the descendant of some big shot like Senior Brother Gao, but it turned out that I was sold."
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to walk towards Niuxin Village.
But the woman suddenly pulled him from behind. "Don't hold it in, just cry if you want. It's okay."
As soon as the woman finished saying these words, Yang child immediately squatted on the ground and started to cry in frustration.
In the eyes of other fellow apprentices, Kid Yang has always been very sensible, but Kid Yang himself doesn’t actually want to be so sensible.
It's just that no one else noticed this except this woman.
The woman hugged Child Yang and patted his back gently, silently comforting him.
Yang child vented for a long time, finally stood up again, and walked towards Niuxin Village with the woman.
"Hey! Kid, where have you been! What is this? Look how fat this sheep is, let's roast one tonight!"
"Ever since we had that roast lamb meal in Qingqiu, I can never forget that bite. It tastes so delicious when roasted."
"Okay! Senior Brother Cao, with so many people, roasting one may not be enough. Let's roast a few more."
Yang, who had a smile on his face like everyone else, came to the kitchen and took out the stuff he used to kill pigs and sheep.
Just when he took out the whetstone and sharpened the blade quickly, his finger suddenly thrust forward to the blade and was cut to the point of bleeding.
"What's wrong? Just stand there and don't move. I'll go find some medicine for you." Just when the woman was about to run to the kitchen, Yang's words, which were holding her bleeding fingers, made her stop.
"I want to see them and my family."
Looking at Yang child's firm gaze, the woman nodded gently. "Okay, marry a chicken, follow a chicken, marry a dog, and walk on a pole. I will follow you wherever you go."
