Lotus Village.

"Mother, how is the fourth brother today?" Zhu Laohan carried a basket on his back, just returned from the town, and asked his mother-in-law.

Yang listened to her husband's voice, and walked out of the back room, she made a boo gesture to Zhu Laohan, and whispered; "I just fell asleep, don't wake up the child."

"Still burning?" Zhu Laohan asked again.

Yang's face was melancholy, his eyebrows were full of anxiety, and he sighed; "It was already retreating during the day, but it burned again, how can this be good."

Yang said, he couldn't help but raise his sleeves to wipe his tears.

Seeing this, Zhu Laohan hurriedly took out a few coins of silver from his chest and said to his mother-in-law; "This is the money I got from going to the town, let's hurry up and ask the fourth brother to ask a doctor to take a look. The fourth brother is expensive, so he can't be delayed. ”

Yang held the silver money handed over by her husband, she knew that their family was all here, as Zhu Laohan said, this child is expensive, until now, Yang still remembers that when she first bought this child back from the hands of Renyazi, Xu was used to eating good things, no matter what she did, even if it was white noodles with eggs, which made the three girls drool, but the fourth brother didn't eat it, only cried there incessantly, so she couldn't coax it.

It wasn't until later that he was tired of crying and crying hungry, and the child was willing to eat a little something, and this year, their family was all about this child, although it was a poor jingle, but the baby was also eaten with fine rice noodles, there was nothing good in the countryside, only eggs, the whole Zhu family could be said to have tightened their belts, saved rations from their mouths and stuffed them into Zhu Sidi's mouth, but even with such careful care, the child was still often sick, which only made Yang and Zhu Laohan anxious.

"His father," Yang held the silver coin, tears flashing in the corners of his eyes, "If you want me to say, let's return the fourth brother." ”

"What are you talking about?" As soon as Zhu Laohan heard his mother-in-law's words, he even blew his beard and glared, "The fourth brother is the root of our family, he is the son of our old Zhu family, don't you say this kind of thing again!" ”

Yang wiped away his tears and continued; "I also see that the fourth brother is pitiful, this child has fine skin and tender flesh, and he is handsome, although the man's teeth have never told us the origin of this child, but I can also see that the fourth brother has a background, he must be the child of the rich and noble family, let's keep him by his side now, let such a child suffer with us, I don't feel good in my heart."

"Nonsense!" Zhu Laohan waved his hand and motioned to the Yang family not to say any more, "Our family is for the fourth brother, but we have cleaned up the whole family, besides, you raised him for a year, and it is rare to treat him as a baby, what do you say to send him back, can you give it up?" ”

Hearing her husband say this, Yang thought about sending the child away, and her heart suddenly pinched, although this child was not her own child, but since the day she entered their house, she regarded him as her own son, and even treated him rarer than her own daughter, Zhu Laohan was right, although she felt sorry for the child, but if she really sent the child away, she was reluctant.

At that moment, Yang sighed, and only called back the big girl who was chopping pigweed outside, and asked her to take the silver money and go to the next village to hire a doctor.

The eldest girl agreed, took the money and hurriedly ran out of the house, Yang looked at her daughter's back, and remembered that every time these three girls were sick, they also asked Zhu Laohan to pick some herbs from the mountain and deal with the past, but only for the fourth child, for the little boy who bought it, he didn't dare to be careless at all.

Yang retracted his gaze and returned to the back room, looking at the child on the bed, his eyes suddenly filled with pity.

Wan Xiaobao is now two years old, he is wearing coarse cloth clothes, a handsome and pale little face, and he looks very weak.

Yang probed the child's forehead, and suddenly felt that it was hot, and she was anxious, so she had to wet the sweat towel again and again, wring it out and sticking it on the child's forehead.

During this period, Zhu Laohan also came in to see the child twice, and the husband and wife were waiting for the doctor's figure until it was dark, and they did not wait for the doctor, but waited for a group of uninvited guests.

"My lord, I learned from Chenghe Ah Si that they really sold Young Master Wan's to this family that day." A man dressed in black stood behind Lord Qincha He and spoke respectfully.

Then Lord He didn't say anything when he heard this, but only led the people behind him into the house.

Hearing the footsteps, Zhu Laohan hurriedly walked out, and when he saw this large group of people in his yard somehow, looking at the clothes of those people, even if Zhu Laohan is a farmer who has never seen the world, he can also see that these people have great backgrounds, and they are by no means ordinary people. "You..... Who are you? ”

The man in black frowned, and only shouted; "Wu Na Diao people, when you see Lord Qinchahe, don't you kneel?"

"Chin ..... Governors? Zhu Laohan didn't understand the meaning of Qincha at all, but listening to the voice of the man in black, he could guess that Qincha was an official, and a flat-headed person like him was most afraid of dealing with the government.

"Official, I don't know what the little one has done? Bothering the officials to take this trip? Zhu Laohan's voice was full of fear, and it was easy to make a sentence clear.

The man in black showed impatience on his face, and he was about to scold, but Lord He made a gesture, and when the man in black saw this, he suddenly became respectful and retreated behind Lord He.

"There is no need to waste effort on these people, what matters is to find the child." Lord He opened his mouth and said lightly.

"Yes, sir." The man in black saluted, and was just about to order someone to enter the house to look for the child, when he saw a village woman walking out of the back room with a little boy in her arms, and asked in a panic as she walked; "Her father, what's wrong?"

Yang entered the yard, just saw the scene in front of her, her heart was shocked, almost didn't even hold the child steadily, she looked at the official in her yard with a stunned face, only held the child and shrank behind her husband, trembling; "Dad, what's going on?"

As soon as the Yang family appeared with the child in his arms, everyone's eyes fell on Wan Xiaobao, and before Zhu Laohan could speak, the man in black was already commanding behind him; "Quick, go get the kid back!"

An order was given, and when an official stepped forward, he took the child from Yang's hands.

Seeing this, Zhu Laohan and the Yang family couldn't be afraid at the moment, and only desperately protected the calf as if they had to hold the child firmly, especially the Yang family, while holding the child, they let out a terrible scream, "Grab the child!" ”

Hearing Yang's shout, the villagers on the side couldn't stand still, and they all stepped forward, only to be stopped by the officials.

"Bold vixen! Where this child came from, you husband and wife know in your hearts! Seeing this, the man in black was furious and immediately reprimanded.

As soon as his words fell, Zhu Laohan and Yang's hearts were shocked, and taking advantage of this opportunity, an official pushed Zhu Laohan away, snatched the child from Yang's hands, and sent it to Lord He.

"My son!" Yang stepped forward like a madman, and was stopped by the official messenger.

Lord He's eyes crossed the child's cheeks, and saw that the child's pink face, although he was wearing an ordinary child's shirt, he looked like a boy in the New Year's painting, and his eyebrows were full of luxury.

"My lord, look at this child.... Is it what we are looking for? The man in black saw that the child had a sickly face and closed his eyes, and his heart was also uncertain.

Lord He bowed his head slightly and said; "This official once met Wan Chongshan by chance, this child, just by looking at it, he knew that it was his son."

"So, we've got it right this time?" The man in black's eyes lit up.

"Yes," Lord He nodded, seeing that the child's cheeks were flushed, he immediately probed the child's forehead, and after noticing a hot patch, Lord He's eyebrows tightened, and he immediately ordered; "Hurry up and send someone to ask for a doctor, this kid can't afford the slightest mistake, let's send him back to Jingshi safely."

"Yes, sir." The man in black agreed, and after finishing his words, he glanced at Zhu Laohan and Yang again, and asked; "Then what should I do with this family?"

Master He glanced at Mr. and Mrs. Zhu Laohan, his eyes were windless and rainless, and he only left one sentence; "Dare to harbor the son of the rebel, and take all this family into custody and send them to prison."

After Lord He finished speaking, he left the courtyard of the Zhu family with the child in his arms, leaving only the Yang family there to grab the sky and the earth, grief-stricken.
