Chapter 290: It's Back

After three months of drifting on the sea, Song Yi and the others finally arrived at the port of Jiaodong in the Qianchao Dynasty.

Just like when they left the mainland, when Song Yi and the others came back, they also arrived at the port where they departed.

Seeing the familiar place, Song Yi couldn't help but think of the small fishing village that was wiped out back then, and she suddenly wanted to go and worship the undead. I hope that the dead can rest in peace, so that her heart can feel better.

So, Song Yi found the real king, "I want to go and pay tribute to the fishermen who died in that fire"

Zhu Xi knew that Song Yi felt sorry for the villagers who were burned to death by the fire, so he didn't stop, "Do you want me to accompany you?" ”

"No need, I see that your people are coming to you, you must have something more important. I'll just go over it myself," Song Yi said.

Zhu Xi does have something to do now, because he suddenly went to Fusang Island and left a mess, and now that he is back, of course he has to deal with general affairs.

Zhu Xi thought for a while and said, "It's all my people here, and they should be safe." You are not familiar with the village, I will ask the mayor here to accompany you to the cemetery to worship."

Song Yi heard that there was a special cemetery to worship, and she was relieved, she originally thought that those fishermen were thrown into the wilderness, and no one cared about them.

"Okay," Song Yi nodded and agreed.

When the mayor arrived, he naturally greeted Song Yi and them very ceremoniously. Zhu Xi explained the reason for calling him over, and the mayor of the town was very enthusiastic to accompany the princess to the memorial service.

The fishing village that was burned down has been rebuilt on the same site.

Although Song Yi only lived in the fishing village for one night, he also remembers the simplicity of the fishermen in the fishing village.

Looking at the completely unusual fishing village, there is no longer the feeling of the past.

Now the fishing village has been transformed into a port town, where nearby fishermen gather to trade.

Every morning, fresh fish, shrimp and crabs from returnees are shipped from here to all parts of the country.

Song Yi walked on the street, looking at the bustling and lively port, and felt like a world away.

Song Yi didn't know at first how such a poor fishing village could become what it is now.

It wasn't until the new mayor talked about the origin of this new town that Song Yi finally figured out why this place was called Yi Town.

It turned out that the fishing village was burned down by Emperor Yuan's people, and the true king asked some aborigines to relocate to the original site and form a new fishing village.

Because of the protection of the true king, in just five years, the fishing village has been turned into a trading dock. Every day, there is an endless stream of fishing boats, which is very lively. I can't see the scene of the destruction of the village at all.

After Song Yi heard about it, he was even more grateful to the true king. Although he didn't know it back then, Song Yi has been haunted by it since he knew that the fishing village was destroyed because of him, and now he sees the thriving fishing village, Song Yi's mood is slightly better.

At that time, the fishermen were all buried together, and because of the fire, it was really impossible to tell who was who.

The king ordered a cemetery to be built, and a tablet was erected in the place where the bones were buried, and the names of the fishermen were engraved on it. Although there is no way to do this, Song Yi always feels that he is the culprit who has harmed the entire fishing village. Therefore, the villagers were paid very seriously.

Just when Song Yi was paying tribute, a black hand suddenly stretched out from the shadows.

Song Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly asked people to check, it turned out to be a child.

Unkempt and dirty, he looks like a wandering child here.

Song Yi saw that she was still young and felt really pitiful, so she casually asked, "Why is she here, is there no one at home?" ”

When the real princess asked, the mayor naturally didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly poured out the child's life experience.

Only then did Song Yi know that the fire that year did not kill everyone. Among them was a young couple who had just given birth to a baby girl who was more than a year old. When the villagers were slaughtered, the couple survived by protecting the baby girl. Later, the fire, in the dark, was protected by God, and the tragic fire did not burn down the house, not only did the roof intact and did not damage the corpses in the house, but also because the two couples fell in the corner, so that the baby girl had a miracle of survival.

Later, the people of the true king came to the fishing village and buried all the corpses together, but no one noticed that there were still alive at that time. That night it rained heavily, and the earthwork where the fisherman's body was buried collapsed, and the baby girl who had been watered by the rain cried loudly.

In the middle of the night, the baby girl's cry was particularly loud, and she was picked up back into the kennel by a nearby foraging female dog.

Since then, the baby girl has been living with a female dog with a skin disease. Later, the villagers knew that the baby girl had crawled out of the pile of dead people, and they were afraid that she was sneaky, so they did not dare to help her and come close to her.

The baby girl was just over a year old, and she could only drink the milk of wild dogs until she was more than three years old, and one day, when the wild dogs went out to forage for food, they were stoned to death because they robbed the children in the village of snacks. Since then, the baby girl has been completely orphaned. In order to survive, the baby girl had to hide in the cemetery and survive by picking up offerings.

After Song Yi heard this, he felt very sorry for this baby girl. Knowing that her parents died because of the fire that year, he wanted to keep her.

"Princess, this girl, can't speak, and her brain is not clear. It is said that those who crawl out of the pile of dead people are all born with rebellious bones and hard lives. You have to be careful."

"Thank you Mayor for reminding me, but I'm also born hard, and I hope to try it to see who is harder between me and her."

Song Yi didn't say it explicitly, but in fact, he had already made up his mind.

In the evening, Song Yi finally waited for the true king, and told him about today's incident in the cemetery.

When the true king heard this, he knew that the woman wanted to adopt the girl. After a slight groan, he said, "You don't have to blame yourself, it was Emperor Yuan who set fire to kill people back then." You don't know either. If you really feel sorry for the parents, I can have someone find the right couple for the little girl, give them some gold and silver, and let them take care of the little girl as she grows up."

After hearing this, Song Yi shook his head and said, "Although I didn't know it back then, it was indeed because of me that the whole village was ruined, I didn't know that it was okay, now that I already knew, I have been uneasy in my heart." I originally thought that everyone in the fishing village was dead, but I didn't expect that there were survivors of the fire that year. Being met by me today means that I have a relationship with her. Her parents died because of me, and I owe her a debt that I can no longer let go. Your method, I've thought about it too, but you haven't seen that girl. ”

"Although I knew that she was seven years old, she was very thin, not only could not speak, but even acted a little crazy. I know that all these years, she has been dependent on a for her life, and no one dares to touch her. If you can find a really good-hearted family, you may be able to give her a warm home. But I'm afraid, those people look at the face of money and promise us on the surface, but when we leave and throw her away, she still has to live a life of no fixed place and no one to live with."

"If we leave here, I'm afraid we won't come back again in this life. If she is abandoned again, we don't know. It's better for me to take her with me to raise her. It's just a child, and she's only two years older than Qiuqiu. When I raise Qiuqiu, I can let her learn the ability to take care of herself by the way. In the future, if I can raise her well, it will be considered that I have done my part, and I will feel less guilty about her parents. Even if her upbringing is not good, the True Wangfu will not give her a bite to eat, and she will no longer have to pick up garbage. Birth, old age, sickness and death have also come to an end. You tell me? ”

Song Yi felt that it was not convincing enough, and continued, "Back then, didn't you also bring the wandering me back to the palace? This little girl, because I became an orphan, sleeps outside, I also have a moral responsibility to her."

Zhu Xi knew that the woman would definitely mention that she took her back to the palace back then, and said, "Why are you the same as her?" You're the real princess, she's just a fisherman's daughter."

"Did you know I was going to marry you? Your reason is not valid at all," Song Yi shook his head and said.

Zhu Xi was choked, but he still didn't give up, "You saved me back then, I think you are alone and helpless, I am helping you by bringing you back to the palace"
