The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

Chapter 578

Su Cheng's marriage can be regarded as retired, so Liu Xiaoqi slipped to Su's mansion at night to discuss with the two girls what to do next.Jia Gui said, "Didn't your family lose a niece?"

Liu Xiaoqi said: "I just got the letter, I found it."

"Huh? I found it so quickly..." Jia Gui was disappointed.

Liu Xiaoqi snorted: "She has some skills, she ran to become a little bandit!"

It turned out that little girl Liu Mingyi's immature values ​​were broken by her biological parents, and she ran away from home as soon as her mind became hot.She hadn't been out of the capital since she was a child, but luckily Liu Xiaoqi's bookstore was full of maps of all kinds. When Chen Ruijin left Beijing, she hid two silver bills in her purse.So she stole a horse in the suburbs of Beijing and went south, and left a hairpin as money for the horse, and ran away.It was after finding this hairpin that Jia Xu and others got her letter.After chasing her all the way, she finally caught up with her, but her little ancestor suddenly disappeared again, as if he followed some merchants from Fujian.The clerk at the inn heard her say that she has a master in Taiwan, and if they send her back, her master will pay them double the money for board and lodging on the way.Then those merchants couldn't find them alive or dead.

Until recently, Chen Ruijin was subduing bandits everywhere in Jiangxi. Occasionally, he heard that a group of bandits pretended to be merchants and went to Beijing to play.The bandit leader saw that she was clever and cute, and wanted to adopt her as his daughter, but the little girl refused, and almost ran away.Chen Ruijin heard that the girl's age, appearance and temperament were similar to Liu Mingyi, so she rushed over.Coincidentally, I met this girl coaxing someone else to take her down the mountain to buy candy, so she could get it, so she hid beside her and watched without saying a word.Finally, another sensible guy noticed, scolded that guy, pointed at Liu Mingyi and said, "This is a villain! You lead her for a while and she will know the way! Turn around and look around. Your Majesty won't punish you!" The little girl was driven away.Angrily, Liu Mingyi ran around the cottage, seeing that every road was guarded, so she had to go back to her own room.

There are also women on the mountain.An old woman liked her and knew that she would not feel comfortable staying there, so she persuaded her, "Pan girl, if you want to go down the mountain to play, won't you become the eldest lady on the mountain if you accept the king as your father?"

Liu Mingyi shook her head: "I only have one father, who loves me the most and doesn't recognize anyone else."

The aunt glanced at her: "Why did I hear that you ran away from home?"

"Ah."

"Since your father loves you, what are you doing running out?"

"...I'm angry with my mother."

"Your mother treats you badly?"

"Okay, okay..." Liu Mingyi was agitated because she failed to escape again, and she didn't care about anything else, so she said casually, "My mother stole someone."

"Ah?!" Gossip flashed in the aunt's eyes, and she laughed, "You look so neat, your mother must be a beauty too. Who did she steal?"

Liu Mingyi pouted: "My dear father!"

The aunt was stunned: "Who? Isn't your father a relative?"

Liu Mingyi sighed: "My father and I were picked up by my own father. My own father lost it. Oh, I can't tell... Anyway, my own father doesn't want me anymore! It's not that I don't want me, it's..." She thought about it Well, her own father was just stupid, not bad.He simply puffed out his cheeks and stopped talking.On the contrary, the aunt became interested and seduced her with all kinds of words; she just didn't say a word.

At dusk, the women all over the mountain knew that Little Pan ran away because her mother had an affair with someone, and that the person who stole it was her own father.Regardless of their status or age, the women surrounded Liu Mingyi like a pack of wolves, eagerly asking about her parents' stories.Liu Mingyi's stomach was full of displeasure - she hadn't felt so unhappy since leaving home.Later, the king drove people away for her, but she was still sick.

That night, Liu Mingyi went to bid farewell to the King of the Mountain with a sullen face, saying: "I feel uncomfortable staying on the mountain."

The king frowned and said, "Just because of a woman's mouth? All women in the world are like this."

Liu Mingyi said: "My master is not."

The king said: "I heard that all the women in the Taiwan government go out to do things like men. I just don't believe that there are women who don't talk about it."

Liu Mingyi said: "My master is not."

The king said: "You are not allowed to go anyway, stay obediently and be my daughter." Nai waved her out.

Liu Mingyi glanced at him, bowed, and said, "In theory, I should kowtow to the king, thank you for protecting me from walking so far. But my Third Uncle Cong said that the etiquette of kowtow and kneel is very important. Very unequal hints in my heart, anyway, it’s not good. Let me give you a bow. In fact, my biological father’s surname is Liu, and Pan is my adoptive father’s surname. I know that even if I find Master in the future, I will still have to be surnamed Liu .”

The king asked with a smile, "Why?"

Liu Mingyi pouted: "Master and father are from the same school."

The king said: "It can be seen that master and father are in the same group, why are you looking for her?"

Liu Mingyi said: "Master is the best, and my father is not bad, I'm just angry—I don't know why." The king laughed again.Liu Mingyi bit her lip and said, "I'll tell you anyway. If you have any difficulties in the future, go to Chengtian Mansion in Taiwan to find Liu Mingyi. Even if I can't help you, my master will definitely help you."

The king sneered and said, "What a big tone! You little boy, what can you do? If it weren't for me, you would either starve to death or be beaten to death or sold!"

Liu Mingyi pursed her lips and said, "You're right. So I owe you a favor..."

The king made her choke, didn't know what to say for a long while, and finally waved her away.Liu Mingyi bowed again before leaving.

That night, Liu Mingyi walked through the bushes at the back of the mountain, trying to escape down the mountain.The king of the mountain stood behind and watched her move a few zhang away for a long time, gritted his teeth, took off the bow from his back, put on the arrow and aimed for a long time.Finally let go, turned and went back to the village.

Chen Ruijin secretly followed Liu Mingyi, waiting for her to slowly walk through the miscellaneous trees for an hour and a half before finding a path.She sat down to rest for about a quarter of an hour, then ran down the hill along the path.Until the sun came out, Liu Mingyi took out a brown rice dumpling from the bag and ate it, looked at the sun to identify the direction, and finally found a big tree to climb up to sleep, and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.Chen Ruijin jumped on the tree fork to have a look. The child had lost a lot of weight, and his heart was full of pride and distress.Also reluctant to wake her up, carefully hugged her down from the tree, carried her on her back and walked away.

When Liu Mingyi woke up in the inn and saw Master, she blinked for a while and didn't speak.Chen Ruijin lowered her face and was about to reprimand her, but she hurriedly shouted: "Hungry!" Chen Ruijin had no choice but to get her something to eat first.Afterwards, he sent letters to various places, telling everyone that the little ancestor had been found, and abruptly delayed the curse for more than half a day.

The next day, Chen Ruijin brought her to him, and said: "You tell the king of the mountain to ask him to go to Chengtian Mansion to find Liu Mingyi when he encounters difficulties?"

Liu Mingyi was startled, and said aggrievedly: "Master, how long have you been with me!"

Chen Ruijin ignored her: "Do you know how big Chengtian Mansion is and how many people there are?" Liu Mingyi shook his head. "And now your master Cong Sanshu and others have all moved to Dajiala, do you know?" Liu Mingyi shook his head. "How confident are you that everyone knows the name Liu Mingyi?" Liu Mingyi was dumbfounded.Chen Ruijin snorted, "I can't even leave a letter to my benefactor."

Liu Mingyi thought for a while: "Should I let him go to the prefect Jia Lian?"

Chen Ruijin said: "I don't know how many people look for Jia Lian every day. Even if he goes to the magistrate's yamen, he may not be able to see him. You should leave a token for him and let him go to a good place to pass the message. For example, Jia's horse shop, Camellia Embroidery Village."

Liu Mingyi patted her head: "Then let's go back and leave a token now. If I didn't follow them, I really wouldn't be able to walk this far."

"No need." Chen Ruijin said, "I'll keep it for you."

Liu Mingyi suddenly smiled brightly: "Thank you, Master!" Nai asked with her small face up, "What token did you leave?"

"Films from Falcon Bookstore. If you encounter difficulties, let him go to the capital to find your seventh uncle."

Liu Mingyi pursed her lips and remained silent.For a long time, he said in a muffled voice: "It's not that I don't like uncle. I just feel uncomfortable."

Chen Ruijin sighed lightly: "It's too difficult for you to understand the world now. You can do whatever you like."

She remained silent for a long time, and asked, "Why doesn't my mother like my father?"

Chen Ruijin deliberated over and over again, but couldn't find the right words to tell such a young child what a eunuch is, so he could only prevaricate her by saying, "Because she liked your own father first. After you like one person in your heart, you can't like another one." Got it." Liu Mingyi actually understood it!Nodding like a grown-up.

This section is over.Chen Ruijin wanted to run around, and it was inconvenient to lead this little girl, so he threw her on Jinggangshan.Because Li Guopei led the troops down the mountain for some reason, and Wan Zhang was often absent, he lost his backbone in the mountain, and the military discipline gradually became loose.Liu Mingyi was young, and the bandits in the mountain regarded her as Wan Zhang's relatives and never guarded against her.It was the first time for Liu Mingyi to see such a tight fortress, and found it interesting, climbing up and down to check and play, it was like an adventure in a story.

That day, she found a small courtyard with many soldiers guarding it, she was very curious, thinking that there were some treasures or strange beasts inside, so she climbed up a big tree to look inside.This child has good eyesight, and from a distance, he saw an old man planting flowers and trees in the yard!I wondered in my heart: Are so many people guarding the yard just for an old man?Is he a sorcerer who knows magic?So I missed it, and often walked around the yard when I had nothing to do.

Two days later, at night, Liu Mingyi noticed two soldiers guarding outside the old man's yard dozing off, so he climbed over the wall from them and took a look.Coincidentally, I met an old man standing in the yard with his hands behind his back, so he waved to him.The old man was shocked.Liu Mingyi pressed his finger to his lips for a while, turned over and climbed down the wall.On weekdays, patrols would have come over this time.Now the leader is not in the mountains, even the patrolling ones are lazy.Liu Mingyi got inside safely, and asked the old man, "Old man, who are you?"

After a long time, the old man said in a trembling voice, "I don't even remember who I am."

"Oh, did you lose your memory?" Liu Mingyi was a little sympathetic, "Why did they lock you up?"

The old man sighed: "I don't know why they locked me up. I don't know them."

Liu Mingyi tilted her head and thought for a while: "Could it be that you owe money to the King of the Mountain?"

"No." The old man looked at her and asked, "little girl, who are you?"

Liu Mingyi shrugged: "I am... my master is busy, so he left me here for a few days. She will pick me up when she finishes her work."

The old man said: "How can you come in? Is there no one guarding outside?"

Liu Mingyi said honestly, "The guard is asleep."

The old man thought: "There are horse teams patrolling every day, and these days seem to be getting less and less."

Liu Mingyi said: "The King of the Mountain is not at home, they are lazy."

The old man nodded and said, "I can't even remember how many years I have been imprisoned. Little girl, how is it going outside now? Is the saint okay?"

"Little sage?" Liu Mingyi thought for a while and said, "It's not really good... I heard from my uncle that he is just a puppet, and King Yan has the final say in Jingzhong."

"King Yan?" The old man frowned, "Who is King Yan?"

"The King of Yan is the King of Yan~~ the Lord of the Kingdom of Yan."

The old man took a deep breath: "Yan Guo?" Liu Mingyi nodded.The old man pondered for a long time, "Is there any other country besides Yan? Which country is this?"

"There is no enfeoffment here. On the surface, it belongs to the little saint in Beijing, but in fact there are bandits everywhere." Liu Mingyi said casually, "There are so many countries in the world, I can't remember so many. What Wu Kingdom, Shu Kingdom, Chu Kingdom, Liao Kingdom and so on."

"Ah—so..." The old man was silent for a long time, half laughing and crying, "I don't know at all." Liu Mingyi looked at him and felt that he was so pitiful. "Do you know what the name of King Yan and King Wu are?" He then slowly followed Liu Mingyi's words and asked her about the situation outside.Although Liu Mingyi is young, she knows a lot of things.Anyway, if you don't tell him about your own family, it's okay to tell him what everyone knows, she thought.

She couldn't finish talking about the things outside, Liu Mingyi was a child after all, she became sleepy after talking for a while, she wanted to climb over the wall and go back to her room to sleep.The old man asked in a trembling voice: "Little girl, are you coming tomorrow? I only have half my life left anyway, and I want to know something about the situation outside."

Liu Mingyi said: "I don't know." Seeing that the old man's eyes were still bright just now, they suddenly dimmed.She couldn't bear it a little bit, and said, "I don't know if the guards will sleep tomorrow."

The old man's eyes lit up: "What if they fell asleep again?"

"Then I'll come."

The old man was so happy that he bowed to her: "Thank you, little girl!"

In the next few days, Liu Mingyi found sleepy guards every night—this one fell asleep today, the other fell asleep tomorrow, and there were also those who ate and gambled.So she came every night to talk to the old man about the outside world.The old man sighed: "If the Supreme Emperor returns, I'm afraid it will be difficult to conquer this world."

Liu Mingyi said solemnly with a sullen little face: "I heard from my lord that even if he comes back, he will have nowhere to stay. His son is grown up and has his own land, who would want to put Lao Tzu on his head."

The old man nodded: "What your lord said is very true." After thinking for a while, he said, "Little girl, are you fostered by your master on this mountain?" Liu Mingyi nodded. "Then you're leaving sooner or later?" Liu Mingyi nodded again.The old man said with tears in his eyes, "I am locked here for no reason, and my wife and children don't know if I am dead or alive. If it is convenient, can I ask the girl to send them a message for me, just saying that I am dead, so they don't need to worry about it?" " Nai bowed to her to the ground.
