"Yu'er Country?" Yang Zizi looked puzzled. He followed Senior Brother Li all the way here, but he had never heard of a place called Yu'er Country.
Seeing the expression on Yang's face, Sun Baolu asked in surprise: "What? You don't know? Si Qi and Nanping were all destroyed, and they were all destroyed by the Dharma."
"They mixed these territories together and called it Yu'er Kingdom. I heard that the state religion is Dharma. This is because Yu'er Kingdom is currently fighting with the people of Shu. I heard that the fighting was so fierce that the gods from the sky came down.
Well, if you go to Houshu now, you will die wherever you meet."
Hearing Sun Baolu's words, Yang's childish face suddenly became very ugly. He finally ran back to Qingqiu and was about to reach Houshu, but this happened.
If I had heard the news before, I might have been able to stay in Niuxin Village and wait for a few years, but I was already halfway there, and it wasn’t hard to go or not to go.
"And I heard people who were fleeing from Hou Shu say that the nobles in Hou Shu can't fight against the country of Er. Now in the people of Hou Shu, as long as the men are taller than a wheel, they will be captured as soldiers. Boy, you really can't
Go."
When he heard this, Child Yang suddenly seemed very nervous and worried. "Does all men have to go to the war? Doesn't that mean that my father and my brothers also have to go?"
"Is your father from Houshu? If so, I'm afraid he has something to do with it."
When Yang Zizi heard this, he became even more anxious. He finally got the news about his family, but his family was gone immediately?!
After thinking for a while with a very hesitant expression, Yang child first glanced at Zhao Xiumei beside him, and then said firmly to Sun Baolu: "Brother Baolu, can you do me a favor? My wife will stay with you temporarily.
, I plan to go to Houshu alone to explore the road."
"No!"
"No!"
Two beeps sounded at the same time, one of them was from Sun Baolu and the other was from Zhao Xiumei.
"Marry a chicken, marry a chicken, marry a dog, marry a dog, and walk all over the mountain with a pole! Since I am your wife, don't even think about leaving me behind!"
"Kid, I'm really not trying to scare you. It's really impossible to go to Houshu now! Even the caravans and escorts are gone there."
"Listen to me first!!" Yang stood up with red eyes, his voice overpowering the two of them.
"When I was a beggar, do you know how much I envied those children who had a mother and a father? They had a father and a mother who bought them snacks and candies, but I could only go fishing for swill with other beggars!"
"My father and my mother bought them beautiful tiger-head shoes and tiger-head hats, but I could only go to the graveyard and peel off the clothes of the dead!"
At this point, Child Yang choked up. "You know, I really want to see my parents again. I just want the people who called me a bastard to know that I, Child Yang, also have parents!"
”
While Yang was talking, Sun Baolu's mother came over and listened silently.
Gradually, Yang child's voice began to grow deeper, "Since my family is in danger, I have to save it, and... and if my father and my brother are really dead, then I can also take care of them."
Even if my mother goes to Niuxin Village to retire, she won’t starve to death there.”
"I have been a beggar, and I know that among beggars, the easiest one to bully is a beggar's wife."
Zhao Xiumei on the side looked at the child Yang in front of her with a distressed expression. Although the head of the family was a little taller, after all, he was not that old anymore and was just a half-grown child who missed his parents.
"Child, I know you are worried about your parents, but..." Just when Sun Baolu was about to persuade him, his mother stretched out her hand and whispered something in his ear.
"Okay, then I'll start the fire." When Sun Baolu stood up and left, his mother walked to Yang child, held him in her arms distressedly, and patted his back. "It's okay, kid, let's think about it together.
Method."
Soon, Child Yang saw a strange scene. As Sun Baolu cleared an area and lit a bonfire, the nearby Qingqiu people immediately gathered around him.
As Sun Baolu pointed his hand at Yang Zi and said some obscure Qingqiu dialect, everyone immediately started talking in various directions. These people also spoke Qingqiu dialect, and Yang Zi couldn't understand a word.
"This is a custom here in Qingqiu. I can't explain it to you in Qingqiu dialect. Anyway, the general meaning is that if someone is in trouble, they can light a fire and let everyone catch the wisdom of Changshengtian to help you.
Let’s make plans together.” Sun Baolu explained to Yang Xiaotiao.
"Is it possible?" Yang child was a little uneasy. To be honest, he might not want to break into Houshu, where he had a narrow escape from death. If there was a way for him to see his parents smoothly, that would be great.
"Didn't you see that there are many old people in the crowd? Having an old person in the family is like having a treasure. They have more experience. This method was quite useful in the past."
Seeing those wizened Qingqiu old men sitting cross-legged on the yellow grass, Yang child nodded gently and stood aside waiting. During this period, he also told Sun Baolu what happened after leaving Qingqiu.
The green smoke from the bonfire was slowly floating, but there happened to be no wind at this time, which caused the choking green smoke to spread around and envelope everyone in it.
"Ahem~!" After taking a few puffs of cigarette, Yang couldn't help but feel that his head was a little dizzy.
This so-called borrowing wisdom from the Immortal Heaven always feels weird. The smoke from ordinary campfires does not have this feeling.
After listening to these murmurings in Qingqiu for a while, Child Yang heard the voices gradually getting quieter.
"Hey~!" As they said "Hey~" in unison, everyone present clapped their hands, and the smoke in the clouds and mountains cleared instantly.
After Sun Baolu listened attentively for a while to those Qingqiu old men, he stood up and said to the Yang child: "There is a way. You just said that your parents are all sea dwellers, right?"
"Yes."
"That's enough. Don't take the land route. Take the water route. Just now, the old people remembered that there are private ships at the junction of Qingqiu and Houshu. You can give them more money and ask them to take you directly to your parents' place. This way you can risk your life.
There will be no military disaster on the road."
"Really?!" Yang child looked excited.
"Well, the old people must have remembered correctly. They said they took the boat ten years ago. Just wait, I will ask the old people to draw a picture for you, and then write a letter to the boss of the ship to prevent them from stopping the ship halfway.
Trick you."
With Sun Baolu's busy work, Yang child got a way to return home, as well as a map of the border between Qingqiu and Houshu.
Looking at the close distance on the map, Yang's heart couldn't help but feel hot. He would be able to see his family soon.
"Brother Baolu, thank you very much. This really helps me a lot." Yang child held the heavy gold bar in his hands and presented it to Sun Baolu.
"What do you mean, you look down on me, don't you?" Sun Baolu separated the gold bars, then got closer and asked: "Child, are there many empty houses in Niuxin Village that you mentioned?"
