Beigou Village is not large, with about 100 households. Wang Linshan's family is an outsider in Beigou Village, Wang Linshan's grandfather went to Beigou Village alone, married a wife and gave birth to two sons, Wang Linshan's father is the eldest son. Wang Linshan's grandparents, father and mother have all passed away, and now his family is the only one left in Beigou Village who lives in the village. Uncle Wang has two sons, both of whom are married. Wang Linshan's uncle's family lives in Huajia Village, not far from Beigou Village, and his uncle's family has a large population.

"My parents have passed away, and I have no serious in-laws, so I don't have to think about the relationship between my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law." Lan Yi was overjoyed, invited Liuzi to sit down and drink tea, and then asked: "Liuzi, someone has recently gone to Beigou Village to find Wang Linshan or his family. ”

"Mrs. Hui, the little one has inquired carefully. There really is. Liuzi patted his head, feeling a little strange.

"Oh? But who have you heard? Although Lan Yi's complexion did not change, there were several waves in her heart, and she didn't know whether she was friend or foe.

"According to the villagers, two young people came to look for Wang Xiucai half a month ago, saying that they were his classmates, and the two of them lived in Huang County for 10 days, and then went to the village to inquire whether Wang Xiucai or his family had returned to their hometown, and then they left Huang County." Liuzi said his suspicions again, "These two people are also strange, they went to inquire about the news twice in the evening, and they only went to the door of Wang Xiucai's second uncle's house to ask, and when they heard that they didn't come back, they left, they didn't ask more, and they didn't leave anything behind." ”

After hearing this, Lan Yi pondered for a moment: "There are a few friends among my grandson's classmates, and these two live in the inn, so they shouldn't be locals. Sixth son, can you please inquire which inn these two live in in Huang County, and who are they? I'm afraid they have something important to look for. ”

The sixth son smiled, revealing the dimples on both sides, and said quite proudly: "The villain knows that Mrs. may want to know about the situation of these two people, so she went to the county seat to inquire. Don't hide it from Mrs., several big inns in Huang County are the property of the Xia family, and the villain still has some connections and face. ”

"Sixth son, you don't bluff Mrs., where did you get any face, it's just relying on Uncle Shun's face." Chuncao scolded with a smile, she and Liuzi were both slaves born in the Xia family, and they knew everything about each other very well.

Liuzi listened to Chuncao's words, looked at her with both eyes and smiled, a little more silly. Seeing him looking at him like this, Chuncao's eyes widened, and he snorted with a puffed mouth, but his ears were quietly red.

"Chuncao, don't bother him, the sixth son can think of inquiring about the news, and do his best to run for my mother and son, I am grateful." Lan Yi didn't notice the interaction between them, she was concerned about the situation that the sixth son had inquired about, "What is the situation of these two people?" ”

When the sixth son heard Lan Yi's words of gratitude, he was a little embarrassed, and Zhengse said: "These two people are from Dongping, they are both about twenty years old, one is called Zhao Chengtu, and the other is called Zhao Chengqing, they are from Dongping. The shopkeeper said that the two lived for ten days, went out during the day and returned to the store in the evening, and they were in a hurry, and they said very little. The shopkeeper also said that the two men were not scholars, but merchants, and that they had collected a shipload of goods from the city as they left. ”

"Merchant? My grandson didn't have any deep dealings with the merchants on weekdays, but I didn't know what they were looking for. Lan Yi pondered for a moment, these two people arrived in Huang County half a month ago, and stayed for ten days before leaving, they should have come to find Yirou's mother and son. However, since they received the goods and left by boat, I am afraid that they will really leave, and they will miss these two people, and I don't know if they are the minions of the enemy or the henchmen of the king's steward.

"Liuzi, you're tired too. I've asked the store to prepare food for you, let Chun Tao take you over, rest early today, and let's go to Beigou Village tomorrow. Lan Yi took the baby from Chuncao's arms and said to the two with a smile.

Liuzi and Chuncao nodded and retreated, and walked out of Lan Yi's mother and son's guest room one after the other, and from time to time there were Chuncao's scolding and Liuzi's smirk.

Lan Yi listened, couldn't help but smile, she raised the baby high, and joked: "In your youth, whether you are expensive or cheap, you have your own story." Baby, mother's heart, in another thirteen or fourteen years, you will have your own story. When the mother is old, will the baby still need a mother? ”

The baby stretched out his two little chubby paws and touched Lan Yi's face, smiling happily with saliva, and only screaming "Ma Ma" in his mouth, Lan Yi didn't care, just thought he was calling his mother.

Early the next morning, Lan Yi took the baby to get up, and found that Chuncao was already waiting at the door, and everyone went downstairs to eat together.

Chuncao warmed goat's milk for Lan Yi's mother and son, and at this time, she listened to the man who was eating next to her talking to the five or six-year-old boy next to him, and his voice was very ugly, "Yu'er has eaten this good meal and will go to the capital with her mother-in-law to learn skills, and if you are obedient, you can make a lot of money." The second uncle has been looking for a long time to find you this good place, Yu'er can't have the silver and not recognize the second uncle. ”

Lan Yi turned his head to see that the man was about thirty years old, and he was still neatly dressed, but he had a roe deer's head and rat eyes, a sharp-beaked monkey cheek, and he smiled very obscenely.

The little boy named Yu'er was so thin that he only had a handful of bones left, and his palm-sized face had beautiful facial features, but his eye bubbles were swollen, and his small eyes were red, and he looked like he had just cried. Lan Yi couldn't help frowning when she saw that the kid had bruises on his wrists and neck, as if he had been tortured and beaten, and then looked at him as malnourished.

"These two lame people are making abuse, his eldest brother has just died for a few days, and he is going to buy his nephew to the pickled place, the child is still so young, isn't this his life?" A whisper came from the next table, reaching Lan Yi's ears.

"I heard that there are many noble people and good boys in Beijing, and they are very popular. He must have lost the money in the gamble and didn't dare to let the fierce woman know, so he hit his mind to this oblique place. It's a pity that this kid is not sensible. ”

"I heard that this child is a death star, and as soon as he landed, he killed his mother, and this killed his father, who would dare to keep it! ……”

"yes, it's just ......"

"Come on, eat more, don't cry later, you know?" The second lame man scooped up two coarse grain noodles from his bowl and sandwiched them into Yu'er's bowl, and by the way, he picked up the shredded meat in Yu'er's bowl and stuffed it into his mouth, "If you can't go to the capital, you won't be able to make money!" ”

"You dead boy, you can't be silent!" The second lame man saw Yu'er bowing his head to eat and ignored him, so he hit Yu'er's head hard with chopsticks.

Yu'er was used to being beaten, so she only nodded slightly.

Chuncao clenched her fists with a sad and angry face, biting her lip hard, not daring to speak. Lan Yi frowned, took two deep breaths, looked at the clear eyes of the baby in her arms, and couldn't help but feel chills.

If it was really as the table next door said, Lan Yi didn't dare to imagine what kind of fate this child named Yu'er would be. She doesn't think she's a virgin, but since she crossed over, the time with her baby has made her feel like a mother, and she can't listen to the child crying, let alone see the child suffering.

Looking at the few people in the store and not reaching out, these people don't have to save a kitten or puppy, there is a lot of responsibility and risk. Now that her own future is unpredictable, what can she help him, maybe it will bring him even greater disaster.

“NND！ Even if you follow me and flee, it's better than being sold into that filthy place! Lan Yi scolded, then stood up, handed the baby to Chuncao, walked in front of the lewd man, a violent scene flashed in his mind, and he wanted to kick the disgusting man under the table.

"This big brother, where is this going to send the child?" Lan Yi asked calmly.

The second lame man looked up at Lan Yi, and swept his obscene gaze around her chest a few times, "The little lady asked what this is about, my nephew is naturally going to a good place." If you want to know, you can go with me, but I'm afraid you'll be embarrassed to go in. After speaking, the second lame ** laughed dumbly, like a steel wire cutting through the glass, very harsh, and there were two people next to him laughing.

Lan Yi clenched his fists, and the ninja angrily asked, "You explain clearly, where do you want to send this child in, but I can't go?" ”

The second lame man smiled, put the chopsticks into his mouth and licked them, "You little lady, you can't understand people's words." A good place for you to be happy, you can naturally go, but I don't know who is happy. ”

Several people in the store heard him say so bluntly, and there were sighs and lewd laughter. Yu'er was still young, so naturally she didn't know what they were talking about, so she sat with her head down.

Lan Yi confirmed that the second cripple really wanted to sell Yu'er to a dirty place, and his eyes instantly became very sharp.

"I am a great Zhou benevolent and righteous prosper, to govern the country with filial piety, and now the saint is wise and martial, and he has issued edicts to promote filial piety. If you sell your brother's son privately, aren't you afraid of the king's law? Lan Yi paused word by word, and said sonorously and powerfully, and was awe-inspiring.

The whole building was silent, and the ancients were afraid of seeing officials, and it was true.

"I can't help it, this kid is still young and can't work, where can I afford to raise him!" The second cripple was suppressed by Lan Yi's momentum, and Nuno said.

"This dynasty has a compassionate strategy, how can you not afford to raise such a young child?!" Lan Yi asked, the strategy of compassion was still she read a sentence or two in the gazetteer, which mentioned that for orphans under the age of sixteen or widows over the age of 60 who have no father or mother, the imperial court will issue a certain amount of pension money to support their families, but the specific amount of pension is not mentioned.

"That's not enough for his rations! My eldest brother emptied his family when he was sick, and he still owes a lot of debts and has no money to pay it back. This is a mourning star, my father and mother, I don't dare to let him enter the house. The man felt he had found a reason, and his voice rose louder again.

Yu'er shuddered, tears dripped onto the dining table, and shattered.

Lan Yi looked at him coldly, "Heaven is clear, retribution is not happy, this child's parents are watching from the sky, aren't you afraid of going to hell!" ”

The man's eyes dodged, and he shouted that it was for Yu'er's good. When Yu'er heard the word "parent", she slowly raised her head and looked at Lan Yi, with tears on his little face, and his eyes were confused and expectant. Lan Yi felt that this look looked very much like a hurt little paparazzi, which was heart-wrenching.
