Chapter 2: Into the City

"Husband, there's movement in the grass ahead, it should be a wild deer," a young woman in a deerskin said to a young man in a tiger skin beside her

"Lady, let's bet, I bet not on a wild deer, but a wild boar" The tiger-skinned young man held a bow and arrow in his hand and a hunting knife in his waist.

They approached cautiously, and the deerskin woman also took out her hunting knife, and at this moment a bloodied old man, holding a child, crawled out of the grass, his legs had become fleshy mud, and behind the grass, he was pressed into a blood-stained path.

He looked at the two frightened hunters and shouted, "Please, save my young master", only to see that he was covered in bruises and holding a baby in his arms.

The tiger-skinned young man cautiously walked over and said in horror, "You are a eunuch in the palace, why are you here?"

The old eunuch replied with a dying breath, "King Huayang, King Huayin has launched a rebellion, my emperor has committed suicide and died, this is the only prince, Hua Taiyan, please, you save, save him"

The tiger-skinned youth motioned for the deerskin woman to come forward and hold the child, and the woman picked up the child, saw that his mouth was full of blood stains, and quickly handed it to the tiger-skinned youth.

The old eunuch said weakly, "The prince is fine, but he is crying with hunger, and the old slave fed him with my own blood"

The tiger-skinned young man was touched by this faithful old eunuch, so he said, "Old eunuch, I promise you"

The old eunuch smiled bloodily and handed the tiger-skinned man a jade pendant.

He looked at the baby in the arms of the deerskin woman again, shed bloody tears, and muttered in his mouth, "Your Majesty, the old slave Yang Xing is here", and he died of anger after speaking.

When the tiger-skinned man saw a wild vine nearby, he dragged his body over, dug a pit underneath, and buried it on the spot.

It turned out that the hunter man and woman were a couple, the male was called Wen Hao, and the female was called Qin Yu.

Wen Hao said to Qin Yu, "Lady, this place is not suitable for a long time, we will take the prince and find a new mountain range, with the two of us hunting, we can survive anywhere"

Qin Yu replied, "Husband, without further ado, let's leave immediately"

The hunter couple disappeared into the forest with their baby in their arms.

Nanhua eight winters

"Wen Yu, give the arrow to Dad, the black bear is coming, I will rely on it this winter" Under the snow, there are two hunters hidden, they have been guarding for a long time, they eat snow bumps when they are hungry, and finally see the black bear appear.

"Okay, Dad" An eight-year-old boy quickly took out the arrow on his back and handed it to the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man was Wen Hao eight years ago, and this little boy named Wen Yu was the swaddling baby Hua Taiyan eight years ago.

Wen Hao put his bow and arrows, and his movements were smooth, and with a bang, he hit the black bear in the abdomen.

The black bear was in pain, and ran towards Wen Hao's father and son with his mouth wide open.

"It's not good, this beast, run, Yu'er" Wen Hao picked up the little boy and threw it to the other side, and he was pounced on by the black bear.

"Daddy" The little boy cried and took out a knife from his waist, rushed to the black bear, and stabbed him three times, and the blood rushed all over his tiger clothes.

"Don't stab, it's dead" Wen Hao's voice came from under the black bear, he pushed the black bear away, the tiger skin was full of black bear blood, he pulled out the hunting knife on the black bear's chest.

"Dad, I thought you were dead," Wen Yu wiped away her tears and smiled.

Wen Hao hugged Wen Yu and said, "Child, boys don't flick when they have tears, they don't shed tears when they bleed, you remember"

Wen Yu smiled and said, "Got it, Dad"

Wen Hao grabbed the two forepaws of the black bear with both hands, twisted it, and carried the five-hundred-pound black bear on his back.

He smiled at Wen Yu and said, "Clean up the guy who eats, let's go home"

Wen Yu hurriedly packed up the bow and arrows on the ground, and carried them on his back, with hunting knives stuck in both waists.

"Mother, my father and I are back," Wen Yu shouted at the smoking grass house.

At this time, a deerskin woman came out of it, she was Qin Yu eight years ago.

She hurriedly ran over to take down the hunting knife and bow and arrow for Wen Yu, and said to Wen Hao with a smile: "Today, your two have a bumper harvest, and the black bears have been hunted."

Wen Hao put the black bear into the storage room and said, "Let's start the operation tomorrow, this weather is so cold, it can't be broken"

As soon as Wen Hao and Wen Yu entered the door, they gathered around the firewood, and smoke immediately rose from the roasted tiger skin.

Qin Yu took two bowls of hot goat's milk with an earthen bowl and said, "You two drink it while it's hot, go to the cold."

Wen Yu held the hot goat's milk and drank it.

He licked his lips and smiled, "Mother, it's still the taste of a child, it's so delicious"

Qin Yu walked up to him, scratched his nose with his hand and said, "Silly boy, aren't you a child now?" Well, ready to eat."

The family of three had a happy and simple dinner.

After dinner, the family gathered around the firewood to keep warm, Qin Yu looked at Wen Hao and said, "Husband, I want to discuss something with you."

Wen Hao smiled and said, "Lady, if you have something, just say it, I will depend on you"

Qin Yu said with a smile, "In the past few years, you have hunted and gone down the mountain to sell, and your family has some savings, Yu'er is eight years old, and it is spring, I want to give Yu'er a private school, and let Mr. teach him to learn literature and literacy."

Wen Hao replied, "But he, Yu'er, he is" He swallowed the words behind him into his stomach and looked at Wen Yu, who was blinking with big eyes.

Qin Yu continued: "You can't let him be a savage with us for the rest of his life."

Wen Yu smiled and said, "Okay, lady, I will depend on you, but let him go to private school, how can we take care of him?" ”

Qin Yu smiled and said, "Isn't my sister married to the king of Yamashita Yecheng?" I wrote a letter to Yu'er to foster at her home while she was studying."

Wen Yu nodded and said, "Then the black bear skin, the money from the sale, I will buy a new dress for Yu'er."

Wen Yuyi smiled when he heard it, "Thank you, Dad, I will study hard, get ahead in the future, and buy you a big house, haha, I finally have new clothes."

The beginning of spring in the ninth year of Nanhua

Wen Hao carried a bear skin on his back, took the letter, took all the family's savings, and led Wen Yu, who walked out of the mountain for the first time, towards Yecheng.

Along the way, Wen Yu jumped and bounced, looking forward to what the outside world was like. They walked for three days, ate jerky when they were hungry, slept in a cave when it was dark, and finally came to the city of Yecheng.

Wen Hao held Wen Yu's hand tightly and walked into the industry city, Xiao Wen Yu looked at the crowd of people coming and going, as well as the vendors who were selling, all full of curiosity.

Wen Hao led Wen Yu to the steamed bun shop, bought two hot steamed buns, handed them to Wen Yu and said, "After walking for so long, you don't shout tired, you're so brave, Dad rewards you"

Wen Yu took the bun and handed one to Wen Hao, "Daddy, one for each of us"

Wen Hao shook his head and said, "Daddy is not hungry."

Wen Yu ate the bun and jumped behind Wen Hao.

At this time, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and everyone on the street knelt, and Wen Hao also knelt down.

He turned to look at Wen Yu and saw that he had rolled a bun into the middle of the street, and Wen Yu had already run to pick it up.

"Phew... Dare to shout flowers, dare to stop the Taishi's car to drive," Mafra stopped his horse and roared angrily.

Wen Hao hurriedly ran over and pulled Wen Yu, knelt on the ground and begged, "Please spare your life, Caomin Xiaoer, this is the first time to go down the mountain, and I don't understand the rules."

At this time, a little girl came out of the carriage, about the same size as Wen Yu, and he blinked his big eyes and said, "Daddy, look, there are two wild men."
