Chapter 225: Picking Up a Child
The child seemed to be a little moved, but the hand he stretched out retracted again, and said in a milky voice: "Daddy said, he doesn't allow, he is not allowed to eat other people's things." β
Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu was immediately happy, Lin Yanran turned her head and glared at him, turned her head again, and asked softly, "What about your father?"
The child's eyes flickered quickly, and he stopped talking.
He didn't speak, and his eyes were full of longing, which made Lin Yanran feel more and more pity in his heart, because he stretched out his hand and said, "Are you hungry, eat a piece, and when Daddy comes, let's tell him again?"
Hearing Lin Yanran's words, the child tilted his head, as if he thought her words were feasible, so he nodded heavily and wanted to pick up the pastry.
"I'll help you clean your hands before eating, okay?"
Xu was born by Lin Yanran, so the kid only thought for a moment, and then nodded in response.
Seeing that the monkey-like child snuggled up to Lin Yanran to eat pastries after a while, Shi Miaoyu suddenly laughed and said: "I don't know whose child it is, it doesn't look like it's from a small family, why didn't anyone follow?"
Although the child's clothes look a little wide and ill-fitting, the material is definitely of the highest quality, but if it is from a large family, how can the child be allowed to come out alone?
Thinking like this, Lin Yanran had already instructed her subordinates, and said, "You go and inquire if there are any people nearby who have lost their children, if there is, ask carefully and ask someone to get it." β
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and carefully wiped the corners of the child's mouth, and said, "I'm afraid that there are many people climbing the heights today, and the child is small, and he is separated from his family." Let's wait here for a while, and then we'll go. β
It's possible.
Although there are people who lose their children every year, in the following year, there are still some family members who do not have a long memory and are not cautious.
In addition, in this kind of place, there are always abductors fishing in troubled waters, so if you are not careful, there are also children who are really stolen.
Shi Miaoyu thought about these clearly, nodded and smiled: "It's okay, anyway, I'm a little tired to go, if it's still early today, let's not be in a hurry." When the child is taken away by his family, it is not too late to continue walking. β
The mother and daughter settled down, so they sat and ate while watching the scenery and waiting for the family who lost the child to come over.
And Lin Yanran coaxed the child to eat snacks and drink water, and asked him the news softly: "What's your name?"
The child was like a little hamster when he ate, his cheeks bulging, and he looked cute.
Seeing Lin Yanran asking himself, he didn't hide it, and said in a milk voice: "My name is Ping'an." β
Peace is a good name.
"And where do you remember where you live?"
This range seemed to be a little difficult for the child, he frowned and thought for a moment, and gestured, "A big house." β
Speaking of this, Ping An frowned again and said, "No, it's several big houses." β
Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu suddenly laughed: "Look, this is still a rich boy." β
Hearing her daughter's ridicule, Lin Yanran suddenly glared at her again, and said angrily: "Do you remember whose little son is called Ping'an?"
Shi Miaoyu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "There are so many children in Beijing, but I can't remember who has children called Ping'an for a while." will take this, think it may be a merchant family. β
After all, the nobles in the capital are eager to make their children's names more flashy than one another, how can they be so simple?
However, when the child looks small, the name he remembers must not be a big name, and he is afraid that the family will give him a small character.
If so, the scope will become even larger.
Seeing her daughter frowning, Lin Yanran also knew that it was not easy to find it on her own, so she sighed and said, "That's it, let's wait, someone will come to find it." β
When the two of them were talking, Ping An nested in Lin Yanran's arms, with a pair of big eyes, looking at the two quietly, and not making a fuss.
It is said that children at this age are exactly the age when leather monkeys hate to turn the sky upside down. However, this peace is different, it is like a milk cat, so that people can't help but love it when they look at it.
Lin Yanran saw that he liked him more and more, so she teased him word by word. Ping An doesn't seem to communicate with people much, so when he talks to Lin Yanran, he is also slow, but the rules are excellent.
Seeing this, Lin Yanran felt even more pity in her heart, and Shi Miaoyu felt even more peculiar.
Seeing that this kid doesn't behave like a big family, some of the rules are excellent, not like the style of the merchants.
Whose child will it be?
After about half an hour, I saw that the people who had gone before had returned.
Lin Yanran suddenly asked, "Can you find his family?"
Hearing this, the man shook his head and said, "Mrs. Hui, we have been guarding for a long time, but no one has come to look for the child, I am afraid that you will be in a hurry, so I will report first." β
It's only been more than half a day since they saw this child, let alone how long he stayed before they saw this child.
No one has been looking for it until now, what is going on?
Seeing Lin Yanran frowning and thinking, Shi Miaoyu had already gotten up and said, "Mother, the day is getting bigger, why don't we go to the temple halfway up the mountain to rest for a while." The other let people guard at the bottom of the mountain, and if they met someone looking for a child, they would let people claim it. If not, we will go down the mountain when it gets dark and go to the government to report to the official, and I think that the people who have lost their children will also go to the official. β
After thinking about it, there is only this one now.
Lin Yanran looked down at Ping An who was asleep in her arms, thought for a while, and nodded in the end: "It's okay, then so be it." β
She had also asked for peace earlier, but the child did not know where his home was, and could only say that it was a big house.
There are all houses in the capital, and this child can't find a home.
What's more, now that the weather is starting to get hot, Ping An slept with a light sweat, and was blown by the mountain wind, so he had to get the wind cold.
Although she only has one child, Shi Miaoyu, when she was not poisoned by Shi Qingsong in the early years, she also took care of her carefully since she was a child, and now she naturally takes care of Ping'an.
On this way down the mountain, Lin Yanran also held a sleeping little boy in her arms, but she was more tired than going up the mountain.
Shi Miaoyu wanted to let someone replace her, but Lin Yanran saw Ping'an's frowning little eyebrows, so she refused.
Fortunately, it is not far from the temple halfway up the mountain, but it is time to walk a stick of incense.
Lin Yanran donated the sesame oil money, and when Miao Zhu saw that she was coming, her face was immediately filled with a warm smile.
Lin Yanran said that she had to work, and asked her subordinates to give the money, and the monk led the group to the side room to rest.
This time is the setting sun.
Ping'an slept enough, and woke up to see Lin Yanran guarding herself, snuggled in her arms with a face full of admiration.
Lin Yanran was a mother, and she only felt full of joy when she hugged him.
It's just a little sad, such a good child, if he loses it, I'm afraid that his life will be lost, why hasn't the child's family come to look for it until now?
Thinking of this, Lin Yanran sighed and asked softly, "Ping'an, what is your father and mother like, do you remember?"
Ping An shook his head and said, "Daddy is fierce." β
Super fierce!
Shi Miaoyu just came in from outside the door, and when he heard his words, he immediately laughed and teased him: "How fierce?"
"Hit someone!"
Ping'an said, stretched out his round little arm, the little meat hand spread out, and said, "Hit the palm!"
Seeing this, Shi Miaoyu couldn't help but laugh more and more, and didn't know what she remembered, she looked at Lin Yanran and said, "Well, hit the palm, isn't he a teacher?"
"It's not!"
didn't want Lin Yanran to speak yet, Ping An spoke first: "Take the knife, fierce!"
Hearing this, Shi Miaoyu was stunned for a moment and said, "Take a knife?"
Could it be that he is a martial artist?
It's just that it's useless for the mother and daughter to guess, after all, it's dark at this time, and if they wait, the temple will be closed.
"Let's go back to the city first, go to the official mansion, and report the case. β
That's all it can be now.
Shi Miaoyu nodded, took a safe little hand with Lin Yanran, and went down the mountain.
I didn't want to get to the bottom of the mountain, but I saw a group of people coming not far away.
The sound of horses' hooves could be heard from a distance, and when they got closer, a puff of wolf smoke rolled up.
Shi Miaoyu and the others were about to get into the carriage, and when they saw this, they immediately dodged to the side, preparing to wait for the pedestrian to get into the carriage.
The horse neighed and walked past them. I didn't want to, but I went backwards.
The group was all wearing armor, and the leader was a sturdy man, with a pair of tiger eyes and a face as cold as a blade, which at first glance looked a little fierce.
Shi Miaoyu only felt a little familiar when he looked at this person, and he didn't remember who it was, so he saw that the person jumped off the horse first, walked in front of them, and grabbed Ping'an.
After that, he skillfully punched him in the ass and scolded, "Little rabbit, why are you running here?!"
The next moment, I saw that Ping'an, who had been quiet for a day, suddenly struggled, and no longer behaved during the day, and even his tone brought out the exact same ruffian aura as a man: "Oh, it hurts, it hurts, you let go of me! Uncle Ouyang, help, your boss is beating people again!"
As soon as he shouted out, a man in white armor behind him coughed lightly and said, "Little boy, do you know that the general has been looking for you for a whole day today? He is in a hurry and is about to lift the barracks, how can you run out without permission?
Hearing this, the man snorted coldly and said, "What do you have to do with him?
As he spoke, he carried Ping An upside down on his shoulders and was about to leave, but someone stopped him.
"Waitβ"
The person who spoke out was Lin Yanran.
She took a deep breath, took two steps forward, and asked, "This military master, are you this child's relative?"
In fact, it is superfluous to ask, after all, Fang Cai's peaceful attitude has already explained everything.
But to be on the safe side, it's still necessary to ask.
She was blocked by Shi Miaoyu before, so she didn't see the appearance of the man in front of her. At this time, he also lowered his head and didn't dare to look.
So Lin Yanran didn't see that the man's face changed in an instant.
"You...... You are ...... Lin"
Hearing the man's rapid breathing, Lin Yanran raised her head in surprise, but she also froze in place.
This man ......
"General Yue?"
It was Shi Miaoyu who recognized the person in front of him first and spoke tentatively.
When she spoke, she also woke up the two people who were in a daze.
Yue Zheng came back to his senses first and asked, "Do you recognize me?"
"It's just that your armor looks familiar, but it's really you. Shi Miaoyu smiled slightly, and said with a salute: "I've seen General Yue." Dare to ask this kid, but yours?"
Just now, she only felt a little familiar, but when she saw the Confucian general behind her, she quickly remembered the identity of the man in front of her.
The general of Zhengxi who has been stationed on the frontier all the year round - Yue Zheng.
