The hall was a little cold, and the three of them came to the back room to talk.

The aluminum pot on the coal stove whined, and the corn and cotton stalks crackled in the kang stove, and in this sound with temperature, Zhao Baozheng recalled.

"It was also winter, I got up early to go to the forest to practice, and when I came back, I saw a basket at the door, which was tightly covered, and I wondered if it was a steamed bun from someone's family, and when I opened it, it was a baby. The baby was so frozen, her face was flushed, and she started crying when she entered the door......"

Zhao Baozheng was babbling, Li Yuan seemed to see the scene at that time, turned his head to look at Lu Mei, and found that she had a blank face.

"I took my children to ask door to door, and they all said that they didn't know, I looked at what was going on, and gave it away, and I was afraid that my parents would find it back one day, so I thought I could do it, so let's live. ”

Zhao Baozheng said and laughed, "I'm a rough old man, I haven't been a family, I haven't taken a child, thanks to the help of the villagers over the years, this has pulled the child ......."

Lu Mei took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said, "It's really hard for you all these years." ”

"What's so hard. Zhao Baozheng smiled and said, "Zhao Min, this kid is sensible early, so he didn't let me worry about anything...... I was working in the field during the day, and there was no one at home, so I put her in the tank, and she played by herself, and she didn't cry or make trouble......"

Li Yuan laughed, "Just like when I was a child, my parents had to go to work at that time, and they also put me in the tank, and the tank is still there." ”

"Aren't you afraid?" asked Lu Mei.

"I was too young to remember, and I listened to my mother. ”

When Li Yuan said this, he paused and asked, "Aunt Lu is Zhao Min's mother?"

"Hmm. ”

Lu Mei answered and asked Zhao Baozheng: "She didn't ask about her parents?"

"Why haven't you asked," Zhao Baozheng said with emotion: "The child asked me when he was a child, and I told her, 'You were picked up by me', and she never asked again." ”

"You just told her?"

"Otherwise?" Zhao Baozheng asked rhetorically, "What can I say? I have been deceived for a while, and I can be deceived for a lifetime?"

Lu Mei lowered her head and choked up: "It's me who is sorry for the child......"

Lu Mei is full of remorse when she talks about the past.

Lu Mei is a native of Luozhou and has lived in the village since she was a child.

When she was 16 years old, she went with a few fellow villagers to work in a textile factory in Zhengzhou.

From the countryside to the city, Lu Mei saw everything strangely, although the work of the textile factory was very busy and tiring, but as long as there was free time, she would go out to hang out.

It was while hanging out that she met a woman named Sister Jane.

Sister Zhen is also from the countryside, with a hearty personality and generous spending money, the two often meet to go shopping, and they are familiar with each other.

One day, Sister Zhen told Lu Mei that the factory where she worked was also recruiting, and her monthly salary would be 30 yuan more, and asked Lu Mei if she wanted to go.

In those days, a higher salary of thirty dollars was a great temptation.

Lu Mei was moved at that time, and begged Sister Zhen to help introduce her.

A few days later, Sister Zhen found Lu Mei and said that she had told the leader, and the leader was going to meet her first before deciding whether to use it or not.

When Lu Mei heard that she was going to the leader's house, she was a little hesitant, but when she heard that Sister Zhen said that she was going too, she didn't think too much.

When she arrived at the leader's house, she chatted a few words, drank a glass of water, and when she woke up, she was in a strange room, and a lame man was sitting next to her.

Lu Mei understood at that time that she had been abducted and trafficked.

In the early days, Lu Mei didn't cooperate, crying and making trouble every day, asking the man to let him go, but in exchange for beating him again and again. To calm her down, the man either denied her food or fed her sleeping pills, and every time he went out, he would chain her in the house where she was......

As the days passed, Lu Mei became pregnant with a child, but she never gave up the idea of escaping, but in order to avoid being beaten, she became more and more obedient.

Finally, shortly after the birth of the child, while the man was drunk, she took the opportunity to cut the chains with the stolen saw blade and escaped from the man's house.

"At that time, I didn't know if I could escape, I was afraid that he would be angry with the child, so I took the child with ......"

Why did she throw the child at the door of Zhao Baozheng's house again, Lu Mei didn't say.

Probably it was difficult for her to explain what she thought at the time, Li Yuan thought to herself.

"You didn't think about calling the police?" asked Li Yuan.

"I don't know anyone here, so I'm afraid I'll be sent back again...... Later, when I went back to my hometown, as soon as my father and mother heard that I was married, they said that they would send me back, and I ran away again...... I've been wanting to come back to find my children all these years, and I'm really scared of ......."

When Lu Mei said this, she couldn't say any more.

"You're a miserable man, too......"

Zhao Baozheng sighed.

"How's that guy doing?"

Li Yuan asked about Zhao Min's biological father.

Lu Mei didn't say anything.

"Dead. Zhao Baozheng's answer was unexpected, only to see him glance at Lu Mei: "The day I picked up Zhao Min, Li Cripple died, I heard that it was gas poisoning, and I don't know if ......it's true or fake."

Li Yuan heard his off-string sound, and immediately felt creepy, he glanced at Lu Mei deeply, and he couldn't see any psychological fluctuations on her face.

Time has passed, and there are some things that there is neither way nor necessary to delve into.

……

"Auntie is coming back this time to recognize her relatives?"

"Hmm. ”

Lu Mei nodded, and said to Zhao Baozheng: "Brother, I think so, that ......" Lu Mei said hesitantly: "You see that my conditions are not bad now, I think about it, or let the child go to Shanghai with me......"

"No!" Zhao Baozheng turned his face without waiting for her to finish, "It's okay to recognize your relatives, you want to take her away, but there is no door!"

"I also think for the child, you see, Shanghai is ...... after all"

"My Zhao Min is not going anywhere!"

Seeing that Zhao Baozheng roared, Lu Mei snorted and didn't dare to say more.

"The child was raised by me, I took pity on you so I asked you to confess your relatives, you want to take her away, and there is no door!" Zhao Baozheng became more and more angry the more he spoke, pointing to the door and yelling: "Get out!

Lu Mei stood up at a loss and looked at Li Yuan as if asking for help.

Li Yuan turned his face away from her, and was also very dissatisfied with her. No matter why she left the child in the first place, she has not asked for so many years, and she will take people away when she comes, which is too much to say.

What's more, she didn't consider Zhao Min's thoughts at all when she spoke, if it weren't for the fact that she was an outsider, Li Yuan would have wanted to blast her out.

Seeing that neither of them wanted to see her, Lu Mei knew that she was at a loss, so she went out silently.

……

"This woman is so unbelievable!"

After Lu Mei left, Zhao Baozheng was still angry.

Li Yuan understands his current mood very well, no matter who Zhao Min was born, after all, he was raised by Zhao Baozheng, and it can be heard from his previous words that he really treats her as his own daughter.

It is said that the daughter is the pearl of the father's palm, and as soon as Lu Mei came up, she said that she wanted to take Zhao Min away, and it is strange that Zhao Baozheng is not like thunder.

"Uncle Zhao, you can dissipate your anger......"

Li Yuan persuaded for a while, and Zhao Baozheng finally came to his senses.

"I shouldn't have brought her back if I had known!" Zhao Baozheng said with annoyance.

"Aunt Lu was found by you?"

"Nonsense, I'm not looking for her, can she come back?"

Zhao Baozheng roared, realized that Li Yuan was not Lu Mei, sighed, and explained.

As Zhao Baozheng said, Zhao Min never mentioned his biological parents again after learning that he was a child he picked up.

Zhao Min didn't ask or mention it, but this matter was stuck in Zhao Baozheng's heart like a thorn, and for more than ten years, he had been looking for Zhao Min's biological parents everywhere.

"I didn't think too much about it at first, but I was afraid that the child's biological parents would find it that day, so I had to be mentally prepared in advance. Zhao Baozheng said.

For more than ten years, whenever the farming is not working, Zhao Baozheng will look around, at first in the surrounding ten miles and eight towns to inquire, and then gradually go farther and farther, Yingzhou finished looking for Bozhou, Jizhou searched for Luozhou......

Finding someone is a matter of spending money and effort, and Zhao Baozheng simply rented the field to others and opened a martial arts hall.

He has real skills, and he has learned from famous people, and there are many people who come to him, and he has made some money in the past few years, but he has spent it on finding people.

"You didn't think about calling the police?"

"I don't dare to call the police, I'm also afraid that the police will let the child go......"

In the era when there is no Internet and telephones are not common, it is more difficult to find someone than to find a needle in a haystack. However, for the sake of his daughter, Zhao Baozheng has always insisted on refusing to give up.

"Zhao Min, this child hurts, and she doesn't say anything wronged, I remember that when she was a child, she often secretly hid in the house and cried......"

Zhao Baozheng sighed, "Later, I thought, no matter what, I have to find someone, and I can't let the child regret it for a lifetime." ”

"You didn't think about finding her a mother?"

"What is this called!" Zhao Baozheng smiled and said: "When I was young, I was dedicated to martial arts, and then when I was older, I had a child, who would be willing to marry my daughter to me......"

Li Yuan secretly complained in his heart, I still think about the big girl of Huanghua, I don't believe that I can't find a widow in Shili and Eight Villages.

These words were said to beg for beating, Li Yuan would not be bored with himself, but instead asked how he found the person later.

"Coincidentally, I took my apprentice to Luozhou to compete last year, and I met a kidnapper, and he said (Zhao Min) I'm afraid it's not kidnapped......?

"Didn't you say you didn't dare to call the police?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"It's been so many years, and the police can't still snatch my daughter away!"

Zhao Baozheng said confidently.

“…… Later, I found out, saying that a few years ago, I caught a flower shooter, and went to the neighboring village to recognize the door of Li Cripple's house, Li Cripple has been dead for so many years, who would have thought that he still had a daughter-in-law back then, and the daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter-in-law for her?"

"The cripple Li you said, shouldn't he ......?"

Zhao Baozheng glanced at Li Yuan and said lightly: "If you die, you will die, it doesn't matter how you die." ”

At this moment, Li Yuan felt that he was not facing a person, but a fierce tiger.

Li Yuan broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "I'm definitely not going to talk nonsense." ”

"Well, don't you dare to talk nonsense to Zhao Min. ”

Zhao Baozheng retracted his gaze, and the murderous aura turned invisible.

"I've been hiding from her about finding someone, every time I go out, I say that I will go to visit relatives and friends, in short, don't say anything about today, otherwise I won't be able to spare you. ”

"But you can't keep it a secret......

Li Yuan thought about it and told him about Zhao Min's suspicion that Zhao Baozheng was going to get married.

"She lost her temper today, probably because she was afraid that you wouldn't like her when you got married, you see this misunderstanding is ......"

"I see...... This kid knows that he is cranky, and he is still worried about my affairs, no, I have to talk about her well when I go back, I don't study hard to think cranky every day......"

Zhao Baozheng's mouth was nagging, but his eyes were smiling like crescent moons.

Li Yuan reminded: "You better think about her mother's affairs first, everyone has already come, and this matter can't be hidden......

As soon as Li Yuan's words fell, he suddenly heard a low voice outside the window.

Zhao Baozheng's smile froze, and he shouted hesitantly-

"Balls?"
