Hu Jingtong saw Xu Yikao's eyes shining, staring directly at the key, and couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, is there anything special about this key?" ”

Xu Yikao said to Hu Jingtong: "Girl, what is the difference between you and this key?" ”

Hu Jingtong knew that the ancient government had a strict hierarchy for the production of keys and locks.

Ordinary people's keys are not allowed to be made in such a style as in her hand.

She thought that it should be similar in this Dacheng country.

Hu Jingtong said: "This key is engraved with a divine beast with a snake head and a dragon body, which does not look like it is unique to ordinary people. ”

Xu Yikao said: "You're right, this key is not ordinary. The mythical beast engraved on the key is a prison cow. I didn't expect this boy to have this key in his hand. What did Ah Yuan of the village protection team say? ”

Hu Jingtong said: "Brother Ah Yuan said that he came to seek refuge with relatives and friends, but he couldn't say the names of relatives and friends. ”

Xu Yikao said: "When I wake him up, I will ask him well." ”

……

After waking up with a frown, the young man who was tied to the chair saw Xu Yikao and Hu Jingtong looking at him with a smile on their faces.

"You ......," the young man's eyes widened, his breathing became short, and he struggled violently to get up.

"Don't be impatient," Hu Jingtong said with a smile, "We don't want to hurt you, so we're just in case we tie you up." What is your last name? Where are the people? Who do you want to take refuge in our Qianjiazhuang? Once you make it clear, we can help you. ”

The young man stared at Hu Jingtong and Xu Yikao, the grandfather and grandson, and was so nervous that he couldn't even speak.

Xu Yikao also said with a pleasant face: "Don't be afraid, child, just say it and listen to it." ”

The young man slowly eased up, and he thought for a moment before whispering: "My name is Du Jingling, a native of Zhenshenzhou." My mother only asked me to come to Qianjiazhuang for refuge, and I went before I could say my name. ”

Du Jingling's voice became blurred, and tears dripped on his slightly thin clothes.

Xu Yikao was surprised after listening to Du Jingling's words.

He said, "Boy, do you know Du Huaicong? ”

Du Jingling's eyes lit up immediately and said, "That's my father!" Uncle, do you know your father? It's just that my father died when I was very young. ”

Xu Yikao said: "What other objects do you have on you that can prove your identity?" ”

Du Jingling's expression was gloomy and said, "This ...... I didn't, but I didn't lie. All I know is that there were originally 40 people in our family, and they were from a well-known local family. But then the family suddenly changed, and the family was destroyed overnight. On the night of the accident, my mother took me as a young child to visit relatives at a distant cousin's house in a neighboring state capital. That's why he was lucky enough to escape. Since then, my mother and I have been unable to return home, and we have lived a life under the fence. Last month, my mother died of a serious illness, and she handed me a key to come to Qianjiazhuang, Changnan Town, just below the Fuliang Prefecture Government. But before my mother could say who I was going to turn to, she went. I thought I'd have to come over first, no matter what. ”

Xu Yikao listened to Du Jingling's words with mixed feelings, and stepped forward to help him loosen his ties.

Hu Jingtong saw that Du Jingling was young, but he had a vicissitudes of life and thin clothes.

His clothes looked as if they hadn't been washed in a long time.

Because of this, Du Jingling has a faint smell.

Fortunately, it's winter, and the taste doesn't spread much.

It's just that Du Jingling has been in the house for a long time, and the smell will naturally emanate.

Hu Jingtong said: "I'll go boil water." That jar of water can't be drunk, and it's wasted when it's poured, so it's just burned for you to bathe. ”

Hu Jingtong got up and walked out of the house.

Xu Yikao said to Du Jingling: "How did you get in?" I'll take you to meet someone tomorrow. ”

Du Jingling smiled innocently, scratched his head and said, "I slipped in through the back door while the girl from the uncle's family was teaching another girl." ”

Xu Yikao said: "I see that you have a good bone appearance, and you seem to have good kung fu?" ”

Du Jingling said: "Uncle, it's a shame. I'm not good at kung fu, but I'm good at escaping. ”

Xu Yikao said: "Where did you come from? ”
