Chapter 3 My name is Yi Nan

As the northernmost town outside the fire city, Yun'an Town is at a relatively low level in terms of economy, population and geography. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But such an ordinary town can no longer be ordinary, and its special geographical location is destined to have unusual things happen in this town.

To the south of Yun'an Town is the territory of Yu State, to the east is the desert land of barren thousands of miles, to the west is the barbarian nomads of the outer frontier, and to the north is the country of hostile forces.

It is precisely in this special geographical location that Yun'an Town is mixed with dragons and snakes, and it is not surprising to encounter notorious Jiangyang thieves, heroes and heroes with strong martial arts, or even incredible desert robbers and enemy caravans on the street.

As the only trading point in the Yu and Yi countries, and the supply place of the desert near the land of death, or the procurement point of the grassland nomads, such special needs and all kinds of high-value transactions also indirectly or directly promoted the chaotic management and special atmosphere of Yun'an Town.

As the ruler of Yu Guo, he wanted to hold on to this fragrant naan more than once, but after several efforts, the final result was that there were a few more stinky corpses on the path near the desert.

In just two years, the officials of Yun'an Town have changed four times. According to the normal procedure, if there is no special merit in the appointment of a local official, it will generally be transferred according to his performance after four years, and the four bizarre deaths of the official of Yun'an Town are exchanged for the silence of the high-level of Yuguo, and finally there is even a scandal that a certain brother learned that he was appointed in Yun'an Town, and would rather not even be an official and go home.

In the end, the official department of Yu Guo really had no choice but to take extraordinary measures. That is, to directly select a person with high prestige from among the "locals" in Yun'an Town to be elected as this official, and relax his management authority. This consequence gradually led to the growth of the internal forces of Yun'an Town, and in the end, it had formed its own unique management methods, which were not controlled by the officials.

No matter how big a crime you have committed in the past, or if it is not tolerated by the world, as long as you pay one or two silver taels, then you can settle down as a resident of Yun'an Town, and be protected by its regulations in the town, and you will no longer have to flee to the end of the world.

It is this special management measure that has been unanimously embraced by the people of the city and everywhere, and it is a place where you can forget all your previous identities and pasts, and start a new life.

As the residents of Yun'an Town, they also abide by and strive to maintain this law of coexistence, which has become the most incredible and surprising thing when they first arrived in Yun'an Town. One moment the two forces may still be fighting outside the town, and the next moment later, the two sides of the battle in the hotel can even eat and laugh at each other at a table.

One of the vendors you bump into on the street may be a murderer wanted by the government.

Whether it is a personal vendetta or an arrest by the government, as long as you are in Yun'an Town, you must abide by the rules, otherwise you will be driven out of the town at the worst, or you will be attacked by a group on the spot.

The amount of transactions that take place in Yun'an Town every day reaches an incredible amount. As far as Yu is concerned, since it is impossible to implement the control of national law, and Yun'an Town pays a large number of taxes on a regular basis every year, and Yun'an Town is still nominally the territory of Yu after all, so it will no longer worry about managing others, and just collect its own taxes with peace of mind.

For a long time, the story of Yun'an Town has spread to all over the world, and it has gradually become a paradise in the eyes of many fugitives.

As a "local" who almost grew up in Yun'an Town, Yi Nan has enjoyed a special Yun'an-style education since he was a child, if it weren't for the fact that his appearance still has a bit of childishness, as long as the people who have come into contact with him are extremely shocked, they all think that this thing is a fox spirit who has practiced thousands of years of human transformation.

In the words of Lao Li, the owner of the winery, "In Yun'an Town, he is naughty at most, but in a few years, he can stab half the sky in any city he sends this bastard to." ”

Yi Nan made his home in Yun'an Town at the age of eight with Lao Wu, and it is said that he was abandoned by his parents after he was born, but fortunately he was later found by a pair of farmers on the edge of the field and survived. However, the good times did not last long, and it coincided with a catastrophe when he was six years old, famine and flu in various places, and all the villages where Yi Nan was located were forced to relocate.

As for why Lao Wu, who was passing by later, saw hundreds of people fleeing and starving to death, he didn't save Yi Nan, a six-year-old child. According to the words of Lao Wu and Yi Nan later, Lao Wu claimed that he did this completely out of a good heart, but Yi Nan rolled his eyes and said angrily that his motives were completely impure, and it was his lucky stars that were blessed by the gods and gods, which attracted Lao Wu to come.

Who is right and who is wrong in what the two say remains to be verified by future generations, but the history that has been sealed for a long time is revealed. We found out that what the two men said was pure nonsense.

Lao Wu was going back and forth between the two cities for personal reasons, and when he passed by a small road for the first time, he accidentally found Yi Nan lying on the road in a coma, and after a hurried glance, he continued to hurry.

The reality of the famine and the raging flu have made the corpses of the dead and groaning in pain and struggling everywhere, both on official roads and barren mountain paths. At that time, Yi Nan was like a dying and struggling sparrow for Lao Wu who was passing by, and when he died, he died, and was finally eaten by vultures or buried by the people of the government and turned into fertilizer, he had nothing to do with him, he didn't have the heart to worry about the lives of the people in the world, and he didn't have the reality of countless refugees struggling to death. I just want to vote for a good family in the next life.

But what Lao Wu never expected was that after he finished his business. When he passed by this place again on the third day, the corner of his eye glanced at Yi Nan, who was lying motionless on the ground, and he immediately felt unbelievable.

Any ordinary person would probably treat Yi Nan at that time as a dead person. Because he was so angry, even his heartbeat and pulse were slow to four or five times a minute, but for Lao Wu, who had special martial arts, it was enough to surprise him that a young child's life could be sustained for three days without eating or drinking, and this extremely unusual heartbeat and pulse attracted his attention like a lantern in the dark for him who practiced special martial arts.

The curious Lao Wu jumped off the horse at that time, turned Yi Nan's unconscious body over and over again and checked it repeatedly, but the final result made Lao Wu wonder, how to check it was an ordinary child's body, with a thin face and thin muscles, and skinny as wood, but other than that, it was no different from other children, it did not open up the meridians on its own, nor was it hideous, and his face was strange. In the end, Lao Wu couldn't understand it, so he could only think that God didn't want to take his life and let him live for a few more days.

"Boy, when you meet me, I really don't know if it's a blessing you've cultivated in several lifetimes."

Lao Wu took off the water bag on his waist, moistened Yi Nan's already chapped lips, and then boiled rice soup, stuffed a thin tube into Yi Nan's mouth, and dripped a drop every quarter of an hour, until Yi Nan woke up miraculously a day later. Although he only opened his eyes and his body couldn't move, when he saw the weird smile on Lao Wu's big dark face, Yi Nan only thought that he had gone down to the underworld, thinking that he had seen a ghost, and he was so frightened that he fainted again.

Under the careful care of Lao Wu, Yi Nan regained his mobility after fifteen days, and was finally able to speak, when he learned that his adoptive parents had died, and the people in his village were gone, Yi Nan, who was only six years old, cried in the house all day.

Until the next day, after Lao Wu entered the house, Yi Nan's red and swollen eyes still shed two tears from time to time.

"Enough crying?" Lao Wu casually put down two steamed buns and a piece of gold, and looked coldly at Yi Nan, who was bloodshot and confused in front of him.

"I'll give you an hour to think about it, either you take the gold and go out to find your villagers by yourself, or you eat steamed buns and set off with me, but your life will be mine in the future, if you don't do what I let you do, then the consequences will be the same as this table."

After speaking, Lao Wu's right palm instantly slapped on the table, and then turned around and walked out of the door.

Under Yi Nan's shocked gaze, the thick pine table shattered from top to bottom of the tabletop, and finally turned into pieces of pine wood with a "bang".

Lao Wu, who was staying in the next room, waited quietly for an hour, and then returned to Yi Nan's house, only to see that the two big white steamed buns on the table had been eaten by Yi Nan, but the ingot of gold was also tightly pinched by Yi Nan in his hand.

Seeing Yi Nan's wise choice, Lao Wu was very satisfied.

"Very well, you made the wisest choice. Although I will not enjoy all the glory and wealth in the future, but for you now, if you really choose to take the gold, I am afraid that you will not live for an hour after leaving the restaurant, now give me the gold and go on the road with me."

Yi Nan's small hand held the gold tightly, and the childish voice spoke for the first time.

"I... Can adults... Give me the gold too."

"Huh?"

Lao Wu's face was still a little more dissatisfied, he was greedy for money at such a young age, even if he was talented and intelligent, it would be difficult to achieve great things in the future, it was better to solve it as soon as possible, otherwise he might add trouble to himself in the future. Thinking of this, Lao Wu was determined in his heart, and he had already made up his mind, if this kid spoke against his intentions, then he would immediately solve it.

"What do you want gold for?"

"I.."

Yi Nan timidly raised his head and glanced at Lao Wu's cold face, then knelt down on his knees and kowtowed three times in a row.

"The grace of adults to save lives is not reciprocated, even if I am a cow or a horse, I will not have any complaints. But my father and mother's bones are not cold, and I beg you to let me go and find them, and at least build them a tombstone, so that they can rest in peace when they die."

After kowtowing, his little head was already red and swollen, and tears were about to fall again.

"Don't Cry"

Lao Wu suddenly scolded, startling Yi Nan, who was kneeling on the ground.

"A manly man sheds blood without tears, does not kneel to the sky or to the ground. Now you cry and I will be the funeral of your dead parents, you kneel me because I saved your life with great mercy, I think I can still afford this reward, but if there is a next time, don't say it is begging me, I will break your two legs if I can't say it. ”

Although he was ruthless, Lao Wu was more satisfied with his actions to save this kid at the moment, he was able to stabilize quickly after a big change at such a young age, and his heart was calm, at least there would be less trouble walking with him in the future, and he knew how to put filial piety first at a young age, which was really rare.

"You know a lot at a young age, I think your family background must be average, who taught you these big truths?"

"My father, my father studied in a private school in his early years, and although he didn't get a good name in the exam, he taught me to read and write."

"Very well, I'll give you half an hour to clean yourself, and then I'll arrange for someone to take you to find your dead parents, and I'll come back to you when that's done."

After speaking, Lao Wu no longer paid attention to Yi Nan, who was still kneeling, turned around and opened the door and walked straight out.

Yi Nan suddenly thought that he had not yet told the name of this life-saving benefactor, which was really rude, and hurriedly got up and rushed out the door

"My lord, my lord, my name is Yi Nan."

But when he ran out of the door, he found that there was no longer the figure of Master Wu outside the door.
