Volume 1 The Boy Here Chapter 7 Snowy Night
"Entertaining yourself, interesting!" said the steward with a smile.
Yiyang turned to look at the few people in front of him and asked, "Whoever sent something?"
"yes. The steward replied with a smile.
"Then let's go into the house!" Knowing that these people were delivering things, Yiyang retracted his thoughts and said to a few people.
After saying that, he turned around and led the way for them.
Seeing Yiyang leading the way, the steward said to a few people behind him, "Go!"
Then follow Yiyang!
Soon, they put their things into the stove room, and the steward took the account book and said to Yiyang, "Yiyang, right?"
"Hmm!"
"Hmm~ You have to know that the villa will not give you things for nothing, you have to pay them back, you know?" said the steward seriously.
"Know!" Yiyang nodded!
The steward wrote Yiyang's name on the account book with a pen, and then handed the account book to Yidao: "Draw a charge!"
After Yiyang did so, the steward said: "Nanshan Village is divided into three villages, upper, middle and lower, you are the upper village, and it will be under my control in the future! Introduce yourself, my surname is Cui, you can call me Cui Steward." ”
"Yes, Steward Cui!"
Steward Cui looked at Yiyang's very polite appearance, and thought that such a young child lived alone, and he had to repay so many debts from Steward Wang, which was pitiful.
So, he walked to the courtyard and inspected everywhere, and then said to Yiyang: "From today on, you are a person from the Hidden Sword Villa, although you are doing things for the king's steward, you also have to do something for the villa." Well...... In this way, you will guard the back mountain. ”
Yiyang nodded suspiciously, then ran to the courtyard, looked at the white expanse of the back mountain, and said, "What do you think?"
Steward Cui handed him a booklet and said, "There are often people who go to the mountains to cut wood, you are responsible for recording them, and when someone in the mountain villa comes to look for the iron tree, you also have to record it, the previous records are in the booklet, you read it slowly...... Oh yes, literacy?"
"Yes!" Yiyang nodded again.
"That's good, it saves me a lot of effort! ”
"Oh!"
After explaining, Steward Cui said to Yiyang: "Then let's go!"
"Walk slowly!"
......
......
Night, it's coming!
The Tibetan Sword Villa on the other side of the mountain is brightly lit, and there are endless people coming and going. Because this is usually the case, no one notices whether the lamp is much brighter than before, and no one notices that the lamp is still on when it arrives.
In the lobby of the villa, there are many people around, all of whom are people from the Nangong family who have the right to speak.
The owner of the village, Nangong Zhan, rarely did not sit, but stood in the vacant place in the middle of the crowd.
With a gloomy face, he looked at the steady woman kneeling in front of him, the crying baby in swaddling clothes, and the dead man covered with a white tent!
A cold voice came from his mouth: "What did you say to you...... Is Ken responsible?"
"The little woman is willing to ......" Wen Po's voice trembled, and her body trembled.
"No, you can't afford to take this responsibility, if one day I know that there is something wrong with this matter, you will die a miserable death!" Nangong Zhan said again.
When Wen Po heard this, she hurriedly kowtowed to him, and said tremblingly: "The little woman is true, and she doesn't dare to deceive the owner!"
Nangong Zhan stared at Wen Po for a moment, and made sure that she was not lying, so he asked Wen Po to take her down.
Then he looked around and said to the standing and sitting people present, "Rank, what do you think?"
A centenarian with a white beard came out of the crowd on crutches, looked at the infant child and said, "Burn it! We are not a big clan, we can't bear this, and if he is the heir of Chenghuang, then none of us can bear this responsibility." ”
"No!" another old man had a different opinion, and he said to the old man: "What the third brother said is right, but none of us can be sure that he is the heir of the city god, you know, this is the child of the Great Elder, what to do, don't you tell the Great Elder first?"
"Isn't this dark pupil enough to prove it? Has there ever been such a child since ancient times?" the old man with white hair stretched out his thin hand, pointed to the child's dark eyes like night, and said, "When it rains in mid-autumn, the city god appears! Our family's prophecy thousands of years ago will not deceive people, and I firmly believe in the ability of our ancestors!"
The old man coughed a few times and continued: "Legend has it that the child of the city god has no eyes, isn't this it? What was the identity of our family thousands of years ago, have you forgotten? Could the prophecy be false?"
Every time he said a question, he pointed to a person, and the person he pointed at lowered their heads.
"Enough!" Nangong Zhan's cold voice sounded, and the old man fell silent, so only the cry of a child was left on the scene.
After a while, Nangong Zhan said again: "The child throws the hidden sword mountain and leaves him to fend for himself." At the Great Elder's place, I went to tell him, Madame, ......" Referring to Madame who had just died in childbirth, he sighed and said, "Cremation!"
"Yes!"
A fire obscured the glimmer of the lights, and a newborn baby with eyes as black as ink, without a trace of whites of eyes and pupils, was thrown to the back mountain of Zangjian Mountain as a city god's child!
............
Yiyang was woken up by a baby's cry, he opened his eyes, got up, and said with some annoyance: "In the middle of the night, where did the cry come from?
Wow~Wow~
The crying did not stop, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he turned over and got out of bed, changed his shoes, put on his clothes, and pushed the door towards the courtyard!
The winter wind blew, and Yiyang couldn't help yawning.
The cry is on the mountain, Yiyang's wooden house is on the side of the ravine, and the people in the dam at the bottom of the mountain can't hear it, but Yiyang, who has always had excellent hearing, heard it.
He hesitated, then ran up the hill, halfway up the mountain, and at last came to a big rock, where the cry was on. Taking advantage of the reflection of the snow, you can see that it is a baby who is still swaddling.
"Whose kid is this, why are you throwing it here?" he wondered, rubbing his little hands together and taking a few breaths on his hands, and when his hands were warmer, he looked around.
It's quiet, there's no one or anything else, so the baby is the only one or something.
However, after thinking about it, Yiyang felt that this should be a person. So, he climbed onto the stone and picked the baby down. The baby's swaddling material is excellent, and it seems to be the child of a wealthy family. Maybe you can't get it anymore, so you just leave the child here. Thinking of this, Yiyang began to scold this child's father and mother in his heart for not being a thing.
"Good ~ don't cry, brother will take you home!" He tried to shake the baby, and it took a while for the baby to stop crying and let out a laugh.
So, he took the child back.
............
Everyone has troubles, and Yiyang is no exception. But now, in addition to his many troubles, he has another child. But it's more of a pain than a nuisance.
He looked into the baby's eyes, and his heart gradually became a little weak, and then uneasy. No one has such a pair of eyes that are as dark as the night in their entire eye sockets. Unless, the baby is not human......
So what is he? What does it have to do with the legendary "trick"? What does it have to do with the city god? Will it bring ominous?
Yiyang didn't know......
The uneasiness in his heart grew stronger as time passed. By the end, he was afraid to look at the baby.
He looked at the roof illuminated by the faint candlelight, in a daze, out of his mind!
What is Unknown?
He woke up in a state of slumber with no memory of the time he had been five years old. met Brother Shui and his mother-in-law, and later the two were boiled by refugees who lost their humanity in order to save him. He went south alone, experienced several lives and deaths, saw countless blood, and even ...... Almost wiped out humanity.
Could the legendary ominous be worse than that? unknown...... Sort of a fart!
Thinking of this, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He looked at the baby and muttered, "What do I care about you, since I picked you up, I won't leave you behind......"
The snowy night passed quietly......
