Chapter 87: Yu'er is lost
Hearing her son's surprised voice, Cai Wei hurriedly turned around and looked, but saw a giant bird tied to a shed on the side of the road, the bird was more than a meter tall, covered with black feathers, with a mighty body, sharp claws, a sharp beak with a curved hook, and a sharp cold light like a king in his sharp eyes.
"Father, mother, is this an eagle?"
Neither Jin'er nor Yu'er had ever seen it, but through everyone's description and their own conjectures, they probably thought of the species of this giant bird.
"Yes, that's the eagle." Nangong Yi also came over and looked at the eagle outside through the glass window of the carriage.
Even if it was chained, the eagle's kingly aura was undiminished, its round eyes were open, and a sharp gaze burst out of its eyes. The black feathers all over it added a daunting look to it.
Jin'er raised her head and said to Nangong Yi: "Father, the son wants this eagle." β
Since she was a child, Jin'er rarely asked her parents, and it was the first time she asked Nangong Yi for something so solemnly. Nangong Yi naturally would not refuse, he ordered to stop the car, take Jin'er, Yu'er and Caiwei, and walk towards the position of the eagle.
The owner of the eagle is a man in his thirties, according to his own words, the eagle was raised when their family was prosperous, and they had to eat dozens of catties of meat every day, and then the family road slowly declined, but his father was reluctant to sell the eagle, and he also had to raise the house and land, and now his father has passed away, and the family really can't afford to raise it, so he took it to the market to exchange some wealth to live.
Nangong Yi walked in front of the eagle, looked at it for a while, took off an imperial green jade wrench on his thumb, and said, "I'll change it with you." β
The owner of the eagle was born in a wealthy family, and now although it has been defeated, the best imperial green jade is still recognized, and at the moment, she did not hesitate to make a deal with Nangong Yi.
Nangong Yi asked the accompanying eunuchs and guards to take the eagle back to the palace first, and he walked around the market with his wife and children.
Jin'er's heart followed the eagle back to the palace, and he walked in the splendid bushes, absent-minded. Cai Wei touched his little head and said, "Isn't that eagle we replaced very majestic?" β
"Hmm!"
Jin'er nodded, agreeing with her mother's opinion. Yu'er also added: "It looks like my father is in the court." The children could not describe the kingly power of the eagle, so they compared the eagle to their father.
Nangong Yi laughed, Cai Wei also laughed, and then said, "Do you know why that eagle is so majestic? Even if you are chained, you don't lose your sharpness? β
Jin'er thought for a moment and said, "Because they are eagles, they were born like that." β
Cai Wei said gently: "The appearance of the eagle is indeed born like that, but the momentum is indeed acquired, do you know, although the eagle has strong wings, it can fly freely in the sky without fetters, but behind the magnificent flight contains the tragedy of dripping blood!" β
Yu'er said curiously: "Why, aren't they just for flying when they have such long wings?" Why is there any blood to be tragic? β
Cai Wei said: "The growth of any kind of creature needs to be tempered, and if you want to become a king, the hardships you have experienced are even more cruel, and the eagle has experienced the most cruel tempering to grow into what it is now." β
After listening to Cai Wei's words, the children became curious, opened their big clear eyes, looked at their mother quietly, and listened to their mother continue.
"When a young eagle is born and does not enjoy a few comfortable days, it has to undergo the almost cruel training of its mother, and with the help of the mother eagle, it does not take long for the young eagle to fly on its own, but this is only the first step, because this kind of flight is only a little better than crawling. Young eagles need to be trained hundreds or thousands of times, otherwise, they will not be able to get food from their mother's mouth. In the second step, the mother eagle takes the young eagles to a high place, or to a tree or a cliff, and then throws them down, and some of the young eagles are killed by their mothers because of their cowardice. β
Hearing this, Jin'er's little face turned slightly pale, and her little mouth was also tightened, while Yu'er hugged Cai Wei's arm and said nervously: "The eaglets are so pitiful, their mothers are so bad, they must be like Snow White, they are stepmothers." β
Before, Cai Wei had told them the story of Snow White, and the children hated Snow White's stepmother very much, but they didn't expect to give this little guy a living lesson.
Cai Wei denied it: "It's not because their mothers are stepmothers, but without such training, the eaglets can't fly high into the blue sky, and even if they can, it will be difficult to catch food and starve to death." The third step of training is full of cruelty and horror, those young eagles who are pushed off the cliff by their mothers and can fly victoriously will face the final, but also the most critical and difficult test, because their growing wings will be cruelly broken by the mother eagle Most of the bones, and then pushed down from the height again, there are many young eagles at this time to become a sacrifice to fly, but their mother will not stop this "bloody" training, because although there are painful tears in its eyes, but at the same time it is also building the blue sky of children's lives. β
"Queen Mother, why is the mother of the eaglets doing this, it's so bad, let's go and pick up those poor eaglets." When Yu'er heard what her mother said, her compassion was overflowing, and her little mouth was about to cry.
Nangong Yi said: "Some hunters are moved by compassion and secretly bring home some young eagles that have not had time to be fed by the mother eagle before their wings are broken. But then the hunters found that the eagle eagle that had been fed and raised would fly as high as a house and fall down, and that its wings, which were more than two meters long, had become a burden. β
"The eaglet's mother 'cruelly' broke most of the bones in the children's wings, which is the key to determining whether the eaglet can fly freely in the vast sky in the future," Cai Wei said. Eagle eagle wing bones have a strong ability to regenerate, as long as they can endure severe pain and keep flapping their wings to fly, so that the wings continue to be congested, they will soon be healed, and after healing, the wings will be reborn after death like the mythical phoenix, and will be able to grow stronger and stronger. If this is not the case, the eagle will lose this only opportunity, and it will never have a chance with the blue sky. β
After saying this, Cai Wei solemnly concluded: "No one can help him fly, except himself. You remember, everyone in the process of growing up, will be like the eaglet, go through some difficulties and tribulations, in the face of difficulties, if you can face it bravely, like the eaglet that my mother told you, you will grow into a real man in the future, you can stand up to the sky, stand in the world, and protect the people you want to protect; On the contrary, if you are afraid of suffering and have been hiding in the greenhouse created for you by your father and queen mother, you will be like a kitty picked up by a hunter, and you will become a weak and coward in life, are you willing to become a weak and coward in life for the sake of a comfortable life? β
"I don't want to."
Jin'er straightened her small chest and said solemnly: "Queen Mother, Erchen would rather have his wings broken than be an eagle that can't fly." β
Yu'er thought for a while and said, "It's okay to break my wings, but my mother has to make sure that I don't fall to death when I fly down, otherwise, I'd rather be an eagle who can't fly......"
Hearing Yu'er's point of view, Cai Wei was a little speechless, I really don't know which child's opinion to agree with, Jin'er would rather be a jade crush than a complete backbone, which is very in line with the views of people of this era, and in her selfish heart, she agrees with Yu'er's opinion even more, it is good for children to overcome obstacles and become strong in life, but if you want to let the child risk her life, she feels that it is relatively more important to live!
Nangong Yi was also stumped by the different views of the two sons, and he didn't know whose views to agree with, and finally said ambiguously: "It is good to be a strong person, and it is also the courage that a man should have if he is not afraid of difficulties and dares to fight, but this qiΔ must be carried out on the premise of ensuring the safety of his own family, otherwise it is a reckless man's behavior, which is not commendable." β
Both children nodded their heads, indicating that they remembered their father's teachings.
The children are only three years old, but they are much more sensible than children of the same age, and in terms of IQ and physique, they are no different from five-year-old children.
The family went on their way, and today was the day of barter for the middle and upper classes, and they exchanged much better goods than yesterday, and the mistress of one of the large families took out her deceased husband's delicate concubine and exchanged it for two donkeys; An elderly gentleman exchanged his ancestral ancient inkstone for a pair of fine plates; There is also a young man who exchanged a parrot for an eleven or twelve-year-old boy......
The streets are noisy and lively.
Cai Wei and Nangong Yi were holding a little baby, looking around, wanting to change one or two things that caught their eyes, but unfortunately after walking all morning, except for the eagle, there was nothing transparent that could be seen.
At noon, the children were hungry, Nangong Yiti yì went to a nearby restaurant to eat something, Caiwei's aunt came, they couldn't go into the space to eat, so they had to settle outside.
When walking to the restaurant, Nangong Yi walked in front with Jin'er, Cai Wei walked behind with Yu'er, and when passing through the crowd, a young man deliberately bumped into Cai Wei, Cai Wei was in the moon letter, her body was already weak, and she walked all morning with the little baby, she was already tired, how could she withstand the hard bump of a big man.
Her body crooked, one staggered, and fell on top of another richly dressed man beside her.
The man hurriedly held Cai Wei and said crookedly, "Be careful! β
As he spoke, his eyes were still squinting on Cai Wei's face, and the hand holding Cai Wei pinched her arm even more recklessly, Cai Wei held the child, couldn't spare his hand to hit him, took a step back angrily, and said angrily: "Get out!" β
At this time, Nangong Yisheng turned his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw this scene, he strode back with a gloomy face.
The man patronized and teased Cai Wei, but he didn't see Nangong Yi at all, he smiled, and was about to say something light, but he flew over coldly and kicked him alive.
"Ouch-"
The man who was kicked screamed and smashed on a few pieces of porcelain, and was pierced by the miscellaneous porcelain shards that pierced his cotton clothes, and the man screamed, "Oops, it hurts me to death, come on, give this worm to Lao Tzu and beat him to death, hey, it hurts me to death, quick, kill him......"
Immediately, a group of guard-like men came out from all around, and the man who had just bumped into Cai Wei was also inside, holding sticks, short knives and other things, and rushed towards Nangong Yi with great momentum.
If Nangong Yi was the only one to deal with them, Cai Wei would not be afraid, and she would not have to worry, but at this moment, Nangong Yi was still holding Jin'er in her arms, and the sword was eyeless, in case one of them accidentally injured Jin'er, the matter would be big!
Cai Wei hurriedly shouted: "Be careful of the child! β
Between the shouts, the gang had already rushed to Nangong Yi, and they raised their sticks to fight, Nangong Yi turned to one side, dodged the stick that was smashed by the head, and raised his palm to knock the man to the ground.
Soon, the rest of the thugs also rushed to Nangong Yi's side, Nangong Yi held Jin'er with one hand and fought back with the other.
At this time, if Nangong Yi was alone, this group of wicked people would not be enough for him to fight, but at this time, Jin'er was in his arms, and he had to take care of the child's safety, not only to protect the child's integrity, but also to use one hand to fight against a fierce thug, it was really difficult.
Cai Wei was very anxious, she was too careless, and the guards of Qingluo Country were sent back by them to send the eagles again, this time it was only her and Nangong Yi, and they brought two delicate little babies, and the situation was too unfavorable for them!
"Mother, let's go help Dad!" Yu'er saw a group of people surrounding her father to commit murder, and immediately clenched her small fists angrily. Jin'er was not afraid, he kept a small face, stayed quietly in his father's arms, and glared angrily at those who committed murder to his father.
Nangong Yi played very conservatively, a qiΔ to protect Jin'er's safety, and could not be wanton, and could not take advantage of it at all, Cai Wei saw this, and felt distressed and anxious, and withdrew from the crowd with Yu'er, outside the crowd, an old lady was standing outside the crowd to watch the excitement, Cai Wei handed Yu'er over, and said: "Old man, please help me watch the child for a while, and I will pick up the child when I solve this matter later." β
The eldest lady hugged Yu'er and said, "What a beautiful child, girl, don't worry, I will help you take care of the child." β
Cai Wei said "thank you" and rushed back to help Nangong Yi.
When rushing back, there happened to be a thug who wanted to attack Nangong Yi from behind, Cai Wei was furious, and casually pulled off the ivory hairpin on his head and flew out, only to see a flash of white light, and the wrist of the sneak attacker had been shot through, the man screamed, and the scimitar he raised also fell, almost cutting himself.
Cai Wei beat while approaching Nangong Yi and took Jin'er into her arms.
Nangong Yi was finally able to show it, his eyes lit up, and he flashed towards the group of murderers with agility. Everywhere I went, it was very lively: the screams that shook the sky, the crisp sound of broken bones, the dull sound of fist slamming, and the "bang" sound of the human body falling to the ground, etc., provoked a burst of applause from the people who watched the excitement.
In an instant, the thugs were all knocked down, Nangong Yi walked unhurriedly in front of the man who was not polite Caiwei, and looked at him condescendingly, the man had already been knocked to the ground by Nangong Yi and couldn't get up.
He looked at the man standing above him, and saw that the man was wearing a robe with a purple and red embroidered gold thread Wufu Pan dragon pattern in the style of the Great Jin Dynasty, a stone blue python belt around his waist, and a purple gold inlaid crown on his head. Outside, he was wearing a black sable fur and standing there, his eyes revealing a murderous aura, and his aura was so powerful that it was breathtaking.
"Rao...... Spare......" He shuddered, and just glanced at the man, and he was so frightened that he lost his soul.
Nangong Yi flew up and kicked at the man, the man rolled several times like a ball, and the porcelain fragments on his body were not cleared, and he was kicked by Nangong Yi and broke his ribs.
He foamed blood in his mouth and begged for mercy, "Hero, master, don't kill me, I am the grandmother brother of His Majesty today, my mother is the nurse of His Majesty, and I ate her milk ...... when I was a child." β
Nangong Yi tilted the corners of his mouth, sneered, there was no temperature in his eyes, he raised his foot and stepped on one of the man's hands on the ground.
It was this hand that touched his lady just now, he remembered.
"Click-"
There was a sound of bones breaking, and the man screamed desperately like a pig, rolled his eyes, and fainted.
Nangong Yi was puzzled, and raised his foot and stepped on his chest.
"Wait a minuteβ"
Cai Wei held Jin'er with one hand and grabbed him with the other: "Yi, after all, this is Qingluo Kingdom, it's not appropriate for us to kill people here, it's better to hand him over to Wanyan Jingchen and let Wanyan Jingchen dispose of him." β
Hearing this, Nangong Yi slowly put down his raised foot, and glanced coldly at the thugs who fell to the ground, seeing that they were all terrified, and no one dared to look at his eyes.
"Let's go!"
Nangong Yi said lightly and took Jin'er in Cai Wei's arms.
Jin'er returned to his father's arms, he clinged to his father's neck tightly, and admired his father very much, his father looked so handsome when he fought just now, and when he went back, he must learn from his father well.
The three of them walked outside the crowd, and when Cai Wei went to find the old lady who helped her hold Yu'er, she was shocked to find that the old lady was gone, and even Yu'er was gone!
Cai Wei's head "boomed", she looked around, and after being sure that the old lady was not here, she grabbed a man standing in the position where the old lady was standing just now with red eyes, and shouted: "The old lady just now is an old lady who is fifty or sixty years old, holding a child, yes, the child she is holding is exactly the same as my child." β
The man was startled by Cai Wei's eyes, and said, "Let's go, I've been walking for a long time." β
"Where are you going?" Nangong Yi asked coldly, at this moment, he had already guessed what was happening. Rao is calm and calm, he has been too little in shape over the years, and he can't help but change his complexion at this moment.
The man was frightened by the cold momentum of the couple, and stammered, "I didn't pay attention, I patronized to watch you two fight......." β
Cai Wei was about to die, the reason why she entrusted Yu'er to the eldest lady just now was because she was afraid of hurting him when she started to do it, so she didn't expect to lose him. What can I do? Her eldest aunt came, and she couldn't contact Brother Parrot at all, and she didn't know where to find Yu'er, where was Yu'er taken? Will it be dangerous?
Nangong Yi saw that Cai Wei was so anxious that her face turned red, and she comforted her in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will definitely find Yu'er." You take the child back first, and I'll look for it over there. If it moves to the head of our emperor, it will have to bear the consequences. β
Cai Wei nodded, her voice a little choked: "Well, you go north, I go south, maybe you can find it." β
This street is in the north-south direction, and it was an old woman who took Yu'er away, and she couldn't go fast, so the two of them discussed it and quickly went separately to find it.
Nangong Yi took a few steps to the north, and when he passed a big tree, he suddenly rose in the air, flew to the big tree, and raised his eyes to look forward.
As far as the eye could see, there was a dense crowd of people, and it was not easy to find Yu'er in this sea of people, he looked carefully for a long time, but he didn't find any trace of Yu'er, so he lowered his face calmly and continued to look forward......
Cai Wei hugged Jin'er, and passers-by at any time while walking: "Excuse me, have you seen an old lady holding a child?" She's holding a child who looks exactly like me......"
Passers-by shook their heads, none of them could give her the answers she wanted. Jin'er saw that her mother was anxious, and comforted her sensibly: "Mother, don't worry, we will definitely find my brother." β
"Hmm!"
Cai Wei nodded, tears but I didn't know that they flowed out, she has always been a habitual child, I didn't think I would lose the child, Yu'er is the most timid child, just talked about the growth of the young eagle, he also said that it was important to save his life, I didn't think that this son was abducted by a kidnapper, I don't know if he will suffer, whether there will be danger or something.
In case, if the kidnapper finds out Yu'er's identity, will the dog jump off the wall in a hurry, destroy the corpse or something, the more she thinks about it, the more scared she becomes, and her steps are a little soft.
"Cai Wei!"
A familiar voice came, like a drizzle, Cai Wei stopped, followed the reputation, and went to see Huo Yuan and Cao Jin walking out of a restaurant on the side of the road.
Seeing Cai Wei's tearful and fragile appearance, Huo Yuan's heart ached, and he said softly, "What's wrong?" What are you crying about? β
When Cai Wei saw Huo Yuan, as if she had seen a relative, she choked up and said, "Brother Huo, help me, my Yu'er was lost and taken away by an old woman." β
When Huo Yuan heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Have you notified Your Majesty?" β
"Not yet, I'm about to go back to the palace to ask for help."
Cao Jin said: "I'll go and inform Your Majesty, you bring more people to look for it, the kidnappers are mostly for selling for money, so the little prince should be fine." β
At that moment, Cao Jin hurriedly entered the palace to report to Yan Jingchen, and when Yan Jingchen heard it, he decisively ordered the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses, the Patrol Battalion, the Jingzhao Mansion and the Criminal Department to move, strictly investigate the Nine Gates, and search all over the city. Huo Yuan also used his own power to search for Yu'er's whereabouts everywhere.
I thought that the traffickers who jumped off the beam didn't have much ability, and they would be able to find Yu'er back in an hour, who would have thought that the sun had set, or there was no whereabouts, Cai Wei was going crazy, and Nangong Yi didn't feel a little impetuous.
They didn't know that Yu'er, who couldn't be found at the moment, had been taken to a small village not far from the capital.
At this moment, the door of the courtyard is closed, two big dogs are lying in the corner of the courtyard gnawing bones, the main house is closed, and the red light of the brazier is faintly revealed, and there is a sound of talking and the aroma of wine and meat.
"Big brother, the children I got this time are all good, I want to ship them to the south and sell them for a good price!"
The person who spoke was the owner of this small courtyard, Scarface, the man who was replaced by him as the eldest brother was about forty years old, but he was born extremely short and ordinary, only a pair of eyes but revealed a fierce atmosphere, he laughed when he heard this, and poured a sip of wine before saying: "Don't worry, when the time comes, it will be sold at a good price, according to the old rules, the brothers will divide it equally, and the eldest brother will not treat you badly." β
"Look at what you said, as if we didn't believe you because we said this, we didn't mean that, come and come, drink, drink!"
The scar-faced lady scalded the wine from the kitchen and sent it out, and when she heard the boss's words, she came over to pour the wine with a haha.
This mother-in-law is none other than the one Cai Wei entrusted her to hold the child.
Looking at the mother-in-law's appearance of a kind and kind elder, in fact, the heart is vicious, and her son who is not a weapon, specializing in abduction and theft, the capital is so lively, they steal children from the capital every year, and after handing them over to the boss, they will take the waterway after a short rest, and sell the children directly to the south, because the stolen children are such good-looking, so they can also have a lot of money on a trip.
This time, taking advantage of the barter festival, seven or eight children were brought in one go, as well as a few beautiful girls, who were all put in a car in a coma by them, transported out of the capital, and hid in her home.
The child she got this time is quite good, especially the little baby she picked up, white and tender, although she is still young, but the appearance, at a glance, is the best in the world, this kind of goods, if it is sold to a small official house in the south, it is a sky-high price.
You know, this boy is much more expensive than a girl, and ordinary people's male babies are also in prison, all of them are golden bumps, there are many women who sell women, but there are few children, and this good-looking male baby has few goods, and when you encounter this kind of stunning color, the price is ......
It's heartwarming just to think about!
