Chapter 1 Abandoned Babies

Next Chapter

Zhenguan seven years, Lantern Festival, built Ye City, will be night.

The cold sky was sporadically drifting with light snow, the north wind was blowing from the East Bay, and the air was mixed with a trace of unpleasant fishy saltiness, which made Jianye, an originally deserted small city, even more filled with an atmosphere of indifference and slaughter.

Now that the Three Realms have changed, there is no prosperity in the market at the beginning of the Zhenguan Dynasty, and the demons in various parts of the four continents have suddenly risen, and the people of Li have encountered many unwarranted disasters and complained.

At the beginning of the lanterns, Jianye no longer has the lights of the previous years' "BMW carved car fragrance full of road", the street is depressed, and occasionally I see a few passers-by walking together, and the expression is mostly haggard.

A young woman walked out of the cloth shop, her graceful figure was particularly charming under the hazy street lamp, dressed in silk and satin, and the patrolling catcher not far away couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he looked at the slender back.

The woman turned left to go to the bridge, and suddenly heard a baby crying, looked sideways under the bridge, and exclaimed loudly: "Come on, there are monsters!"

Catch fast is still immersed in the beautiful reverie, after hearing the woman's shout, he was slightly stunned, and then he was overjoyed, this is God is creating opportunities for himself, heroes save beauty, maybe it can develop into a flower before the moon or something... The urgency of the situation did not allow him to think too much, and he shouted, "Youkai, where to escape!" and rushed with a knife.

"This is ......" Catcher quickly ran to the bridge, only to see a bamboo basket at the woman's feet, and a baby in the basket was crying, "Where are the monsters?"

The woman pointed to the bottom of the bridge, and jumped into the cold river, and the woman was stunned and splashed.

After a while, he broke through the water, stood on the bridge and shook the water on his body, and said, "Count him lucky, he ran really fast!"

The woman handed over a handkerchief, "Wipe it quickly, it's easy to get a cold." ”

"It's okay!" said with a wave of his hand: "Just wait until you go to the yamen to change your clothes, the girl doesn't have to worry." ”

"Is this your baby?" he recalled carefully, and he obviously saw Wang Yiping, the daughter of the owner of the money village, walking out of the cloth shop alone, without carrying a bamboo basket! Could it be that he was blinded by the woman at that time, and directly ignored the bamboo basket in the woman's hand?

"No! It's the monster, it's here!" the woman explained, she hadn't talked about marriage yet, and there was an extra baby for no reason, so how could she marry someone after it was spread!

The two talked for a while, and finally came to the unanimous conclusion that the monster had stolen the baby from the people's house and was about to flee along the river, but after being bumped into by the woman, he abandoned the baby and ran away.

"Thanks to you, otherwise there will be another missing person case tomorrow, I will thank Miss Yiping for the yamen first!" said the head catcher.

"I... You didn't do anything, don't thank me......! Let's go change your clothes!" Seeing the uprightness on her face, the woman's heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, and her face was slightly red and asked, "How do you know my name?"

"Heh!" Catch Kuai secretly said in his heart, how do I know your name? Haha, you don't inquire, Jianye City down to cardamom up to thirty-eight, there is a woman I don't know? Besides, you are the pearl of the richest man in Jianye City, it is estimated that as long as you are a man in Jianye City, everyone knows you!" ”

"That's it!" Wang Yiping thought thoughtfully, the census was indeed held every year, but she really couldn't remember when she had seen this handsome and dashing catcher, "By the way, what's your name?"

"Under Zhao Zengxin, I won't talk to the girl much today, if there is anything that needs Zhao's help in the future, just go to the yamen to find me!" Zhao Zengxin finished speaking, picked up the basket and turned to leave.

It's just that neither of them noticed that in the sky above them, a streamer of light flashed away.

"Zhao Zengxin?" The woman felt a little familiar, carefully recalled, the year before the theft of her own shop, it is said that there was a person surnamed Zhao who caught the head in only half a day to arrest the thief, and the stolen silver was all recovered, and the theft of the money village was done with zero loss.

"Could it be you?" the woman looked up and found that Zhao Zengxin's figure had long been gone, "Hmph, you're lucky, you ran really fast!"

Wang Yiping suddenly patted her head and said to herself: "Strange, how can you learn him to speak?"

Zhao Zengxin returned to the yamen and asked people to get some food for the little guy, and after he was full, he stopped crying and kept laughing at everyone.

"Just say, you must be hungry!" Zhao Zengxin touched the baby's nose and said, "Don't worry, you can see your parents tomorrow!"

In the early morning of the next day, Jianye Yamen posted a notice to inform everyone that a monster had stolen a baby during the patrol last night, and that the Yamen had sacrificed himself to fight with the demons before he struggled to save the baby.

After Zhao Zengxin saw the notice, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This county order will really put gold on his face!"

It's just that at night, no one has come to claim this baby, and everyone feels a little abnormal, could it be that the baby's parents have been killed by monsters? Zhao Zengxin convened his subordinates to discuss, and found that there have been no murders or missing cases recently, could it be that this baby was stolen by monsters from other places?

"Wait and see!" the county order sent a message, asking everyone to return to their posts.

Zhao Zengxin went home, passing by the small bridge next to the cloth shop, Wang Yiping's appearance appeared clearly in front of him last night, and after a burst of reverie, he casually said "What more can the husband ask for", unscrewed the gourd on his waist, and disappeared leisurely at the head of the bridge while drinking a little wine.

Time flies, seven days have passed, the baby's laughter is still heard in a side room of the yamen, Zhao Zengxin can no longer be happy, no one has claimed it for so long, it must be from other places, how anxious should the parents of this baby be!

After several discussions, everyone decided to leave the baby in the yamen, and to find a nurse for the baby to take care of it, and the cost was borne by the county order, and everyone applauded: "My lord is wise!"

A month later, the baby was already able to sit up, Zhao Zengxin put him around his neck and walked him in circles when he was fine, and the baby's laughter became louder and louder. When he put the baby down, Zhao Zengxin always thought of someone, she who had never met Xiaoqiao since she said goodbye, is she okay now?

At this time, the nurse will pick up the baby and hide away, "Guarding the little one every day to drink, aren't you afraid that the little one will grow up and become an alcoholic?"

"It's time to patrol!" Zhao Zengxin hung the long knife on his body and walked out of the yamen with a wine gourd.

This scene happened to be seen by the county order, and he instructed: "Don't just care about drinking, delay the business!"

Zhao Zengxin didn't look back, just waved his hand. Drinking is a mistake?
