Chapter 38: The Past

Zhou Tai looked at Gan Ning, and the appearance of the person in front of him gradually coincided with a child in his memory, and he knew who Gan Ning was.

He was the first person his mother asked him to save.

Zhou Tai was a thief on the river, but he didn't want his mother to know that the money he took to support her was stained with human blood, but as Zhou Tai's thief became more and more famous, Zhou's mother still knew.

When Zhou's mother found him, he was about to take advantage of a very wealthy-looking merchant ship on the river, but his mother pointed to the child on another fishing boat and asked him, "When you were troubled by your uncle at home, you were the same as him." ”

Zhou Tai looked in the direction his mother pointed and saw that a child who looked less than ten years old was being beaten by an adult, and the reason was simply that he was not working well enough.

But the boy looked very thin, and the young man who was beating him was very strong, and he understood at once what his mother meant.

Zhou Tai didn't like his mother to mention the past, which made him feel inferior and embarrassed.

But the mother said, "Go and help him." ”

Zhou Tai didn't want to, if he went to help that child, he would miss out on another big fish that was so rich.

His mother looked at him with tears in her eyes, "When you and my mother and son were bullied by the uncle in the clan, you also cried and asked your mother why no one would come to help us. Now that kid thinks the same thing, can you help him? ”

Zhou Tai was silent for a long time.

Back then, the mother and son were kicked out of the house by their uncles in a thunderstorm, and they could only find a dilapidated dilapidated temple that was still leaking rain to hide, and he still clearly remembered that the temple was dedicated to Lao Tzuhua Sanqing.

At that time, he desperately wanted someone to save the mother and son, but he never did, and he told his mother that even the gods could not save themselves, let alone us.

Later, Jiang Qin's father took in Zhou Tai's mother and son, but the condition was that Zhou Tai's mother remarried Jiang Qin's uncle, a man who was over thirty years old and could not marry a wife. Zhou's mother agreed, and she also worked diligently for the Jiang family to give birth to children.

It's just that this kind of life didn't last long, Jiang Qin and his father and Jiang Qin's uncle passed away one after another, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin did not have the protection of their father, and in order to be able to support their mother, they became river thieves.

Zhou's mother pleaded with him again, but Zhou Tai couldn't bear to refuse his mother's request, so he rescued the child and left all the money and baht on his body to the child.

It's just that when Zhou Tai went back, Zhou's mother smiled and said to him, "Youping, you can save more people." ”

Then he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, and when Zhou Tai jumped down to save his mother, he found that his mother had several stones tied to her feet, and she had saved her will to persuade Zhou Tai.

Zhou Tai slowly closed his eyes, his mother's voice and teachings were still vivid, and he said softly, "I remembered." What do you want me to do? ”

"I don't want you to do anything, I just don't understand, why did you join the army and follow Sun Quan's side."

Zhou Tai pointed to the children on the boat who were still being beaten, "If you are willing to save him, I will tell you why!" ”

Gan Ning glanced at the child on the boat, and he heard too many of the mournful begging for mercy, and there were many better than him.

But Zhou Tai's words still aroused his interest, and he motioned for his men to approach the boat, reached out and grabbed a few handfuls of money, "Sell that child to me, and the money will be yours." ”

The man on the boat had never seen too much baht, where was there any hesitation, one was a child who couldn't do much work and needed to spend money to feed him, and the other was a lot of baht at his fingertips, and the fool didn't know how to choose!

Zhou Tai protected the child in his arms, and asked Gan Ning to bring medicine, wine and food, the child never seemed to have eaten enough, and grabbed the food and stuffed it into his mouth crazily.

Zhou Tai carefully treated his wound again and asked his name.

But the child only knows his surname Zhang, and he is the third in the family. Even his family only called him Uncle Zhang.

Sun Quan felt pity for this child, so he changed his name to Zhang Ge.

"Able to fight to defend the community." Sun Quan used straw to cover Zhang Gedang's futon, but he subconsciously curled up, for fear that he would be beaten again.

Sun Quan said very kindly, "Sleep, no one here will beat you, and no one will beat you in the future." ”

"Sister." Qiao Ying lit the incense, brought it to Qiao Wei, and fanned the cigarette with her hand, "Sister, does this smell good?" Sister, sister? ”

Qiao Wei came back to his senses at this time, "Huh? Oh, it smells good. ”

Qiao Ying knew that Sun Quan's whereabouts were unknown, and her sister's mood was also very low, and she often looked at the book and wandered, but she didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only stay by her side every day and do what she could, wanting Qiao Wei to distract herself.

"If my sister feels bored, bring my mother here."

If Mother is here, she must know how to comfort Sister better than she does.

But Qiao Wei said, "I'm just fascinated by reading." Now your sister-in-law's affairs still need to be kept secret, and if you know it, if it spreads outside, so that someone with a heart hears it, it will inevitably cause some trouble. ”

In the Sun Mansion, everything is as usual, and no one is allowed to talk about the affairs of the army, just to avoid that if there are still Huang Zu, Liu Xun and others in Anhui City to make detailed news about the bottom of the ship, it is easy to cause chaos in the war.

Qiao Ying asked in a low voice, "Sister doesn't believe in Mother?" ”

"I don't believe Jory." Qiao Wei lightly tapped her little brain, "I brought you to live in the Sun Mansion, which is also the reason." ”

Qiao Ying didn't understand, and Qiao Wei didn't know how to explain, "He was mixed up with Taishou Li Shu before, and wanted to use your marriage to control our family." Whether he wants to please his father and mother, or to drive you out of Qiao's house.

In short, you should keep an eye on yourself. ”

Qiao Ying nodded, "So that's the case, no wonder I said earlier that I wanted to go back to Qiao's house, but you have always disagreed, sister." ”

But soon Qiao Ying put this matter aside, "Sister, it's not hot today, why don't we call Sister Yuan, let's go play pitcher!" ”

Qiao Wei's favorite thing is to throw pots, Qiao Ying wants to play maybe Qiao Wei's mind will not be so heavy, always worried about this and that.

Qiao Wei knew that Qiao Ying had been thinking of something to make her happy, so she put the book on the table, "Then you go and call it, and then call Xiaoye and Xiaoyue, as well as Youye, together, there are more people, and it will be more lively." ”

Qiao Ying cheered quietly, "Okay." ”

Just as Qiao Ying went out for a while, Youye walked in from outside and whispered, "Madam, those rank officials and rank officials are all dead. ”

Unexpectedly, Li Shu will still start after all.

"What's the name?"

"Embezzlement of public money."

That's a good reason.

"Wu Hou sent an order back and ordered him to guard against Yangzhou's assassination of Yan Xiang."
