Chapter 8: The Strange Little Boy
This kid didn't look surprised at all in the face of so many adults, just stood in front of Ye Feng, tilted his head and opened a pair of big black eyes, staring at him without blinking.
On the contrary, Ye Feng was a little surprised by the child's view, and secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that this child had seen it before?
He looked at the little boy and saw that he was dressed in a slightly fat outfit that did not seem to be his own. It was early summer, and he was still wearing a hat on his little head, and his face was covered with beads of sweat, and he didn't know if it was hot, or if he was tired from hiding from those lamas just now.
Tang Rou walked over, squatted down beside the little boy, stretched out her hand to wipe the sweat beads from his face, and said softly: "Little brother, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you." Tell my sister that those villains and evil lamas were looking for you just now?"
The little boy still looked at Ye Feng, but nodded slightly.
Tang Rou's voice was very soft, very different from the heroic posture when dealing with those lamas just now: "Then what is your name?"
The little boy's eyes never moved, and he was firmly fixed on Ye Feng's body: "My name is Sanji." ”
His accent is a little weird, and he can't tell where he is, but it doesn't look like a northwest accent, and it's definitely not from the Central Plains.
Tang Rou continued to ask, "Can you tell my sister why those bad lamas are looking for you?"
The little boy Sanji didn't answer this time, just shook his head.
Tang Rou felt a little discouraged, does this shaking of her head mean that she doesn't know, or does it mean that she can't tell me? It seems that this boy doesn't like to talk much.
Tang Rou wanted to ask further, but at this time, Cheng Nianzhen, who was guarding the injured and unconscious man, suddenly said loudly: "Let's hurry up and rush to Lanzhou City, if he doesn't treat it in time, it will be very troublesome in the future." ”
Boss Wu listened and looked up at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng nodded, indeed, there is nothing more important than treating the injured now, only by rushing to Lanzhou City, he can get good treatment, and other problems, let's wait until Lanzhou City first.
Boss Wu saw Ye Feng nodding, and immediately turned around and beckoned everyone to hurry up and prepare to set off and go to Lanzhou City.
Tang Rou said to the little boy Sanji: "We are going to Lanzhou City, can you go with us too?" You can take a carriage with your sister. ”
The little boy shook his head, and suddenly stretched out his hand to point at Ye Feng.
Tang Rou was stunned for a moment, what does this mean?
Ye Feng asked with some hesitation, "What do you mean, do you want to ride in the same carriage with me?"
The little boy Sanji actually nodded.
Tang Rou looked at Ye Feng in disbelief, and Ye Feng shrugged innocently, saying that he didn't understand the reason either.
He looked at the little boy named Sanchi in front of him, what a strange child!
Soon the convoy was back on its way.
Sitting in the rickety carriage, Ye Feng was surrounded by the little boy named Sanji, and opposite sat the two righteous brothers who were looking at them with curiosity.
As soon as the little boy got in the car, his eyes had been staring at Ye Feng, and he had never left for a moment.
The gaze of these three people made Ye Feng feel very uncomfortable, and he was a little at a loss, so he simply lowered his head and began to think about everything that had just happened.
The red-clothed lamas just now actually used the most mysterious mudra martial arts in Tibetan Buddhism, but fortunately, their martial arts are not high, their cultivation is still shallow, and they only understand the skin, otherwise the big man just now will definitely die if he eats a palm. (Tantric Mahamudra is actually a practice gesture in Tantric Buddhism, which is the various postures formed by the fingers of the practitioner's hands.) The author fictionalizes it as a palm technique, which is pure fiction, don't spray if you don't like it)
These lamas seem to have a very simple background, and they are so anxious to find this little boy named Sanchi, it is conceivable that this little boy is certainly not an ordinary child.
Now, I don't know anything about this little boy except that his surname is Sangi, which is Sanchi. The surname Sang is a very old surname, the legend originates from the Sang family, the wife of Emperor Yan in ancient times, and there are many people with the surname Sang in the Central Plains, Ye Feng thought about it again, and there seems to be no particularly famous characters.
Why did the lamas have to find him? I really don't understand.
Forget it, when you get to Lanzhou City, let's find a way to ask slowly.
Ye Feng felt that there was another thing that was strange, that is, the way this Sanji looked at him. The little boy's eyes seemed to have known him for a long time, but Ye Feng obviously saw him for the first time.
The little boy had a smile on his face, and that look seemed to look into Ye Feng's heart, to see all the secrets he had hidden in his heart. However, under his gaze, Ye Feng did not feel the slightest uneasiness.
I don't know why, Ye Feng has a very strange feeling, this little boy named Sanji, that look, that look, that look, is not like an eight or nine-year-old child at all, but like, like a kind long, looking at the junior who is full of doubts in front of him, with a kind and calm.
How is this possible? Ye Feng shook his head, it was an illusion.
Maybe it's the ups and downs along the way, which really makes me a little tired and too nervous!
Ye Feng could only think so.
The convoy traveled for about an hour, and the huge sound of water came from the front, and what appeared in front of them was the Yellow River.
Liu Yuxi once wrote in the Tang Dynasty: Jiuqu Yellow River is thousands of miles of sand, and the waves are windy from the end of the world.
The poet immortal Li Bai also once wrote: The Yellow River came west to break Kunlun, roaring thousands of miles to touch the Dragon Gate.
However, no matter how majestic and magnificent the Yellow River is in the poet's pen, it cannot compare to the shock of seeing the yellow river roaring out of the mountains like a thousand horses galloping, rushing inexorably downstream.
That feeling of grandeur makes people involuntarily excited, looking forward to the long river of their life can be as magnificent and intense as the Yellow River.
When you come to the edge of the Yellow River, you can see Lanzhou City in the mountains.
Lanzhou, in the Qin and Han dynasties, was divided into the boundaries of Longxi County. In the second year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Huo Qubing led the army to the west to conquer the Xiongnu, and built a city garrison on a flat land on the bank of the Yellow River surrounded by mountains, called Jincheng, and set up Jincheng County when Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty. Later, it was renamed Lanzhou during the Sui Dynasty, and then from the Tang Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, it was renamed several times between Lanzhou and Jincheng County.
It was not until the second year of Emperor Taizu Hongwu that the Ming army captured Lanzhou and set up Lanzhou Wei in the second year, and the name of Lanzhou was determined since then.
When Emperor Jianwen ascended the throne, he moved the Su King Zhu Ao, who was originally in the area of Ganzhou, to Lanzhou. After King Su led the Ganzhou guards to Lanzhou, he defended the city with three points of sergeants, and seven points of soldiers to Tuntian, and built water conservancy, and vigorously attracted immigrants from the interior to come to Tuntian, Lanzhou developed rapidly for a while, the population grew, and became the first important town in the northwest.
Now Boss Wu's convoy has come to the gate of Lanzhou City, and sure enough, he saw a crowd of people, a flow of people, not losing to the inland cities and counties of the Central Plains, worthy of being the first important town in the northwest, a prosperous scene!
After entering Lanzhou City, Boss Wu led the convoy straight to the Chamber of Commerce to deliver the goods and medicinal materials, and the two carriages pulled Ye Feng and them through the lively street and came to the door of the largest inn in Lanzhou City.
After parking the carriage, the two coachmen helped the man who was injured under the lama just now to the guest room upstairs, and Cheng Nianzhen also went to diagnose and treat his injuries, and only Ye Feng was left in front of the inn They quietly looked at the little boy named Sanji.
Tang Rou squatted in front of the little boy and asked softly in a gentle voice, "Little Sanji, where does your family live?
Sanji shook his head with his head down.
Could it be that he is not from the vicinity of Lanzhou, but just came here to visit relatives?
Tang Rou reluctantly continued to ask, "Then do you have any relatives and friends in Lanzhou City, who brought you here?"
Sanchi still shook his head, not saying a word.
Tang Rou was out of options, she looked up and saw that Ye Feng and they are also you look at me, I look at you, looking at each other with a helpless expression.
So what to do with this little boy?
Leave him alone and leave him to fend for himself?
Not to mention whether they are ruthless or not, those vicious lamas outside are still looking for this child! Although I don't know why, those lamas are not good people at first sight, and if Sanchi falls into their hands, I don't know what will happen.
Is it sent to the government?
Not to mention whether the government will accept it or not, help this child find his family, first of all, Ye Feng and the others themselves will not be able to explain the origin of this little boy, if there is a misunderstanding, it will cause unnecessary trouble, but it is not beautiful.
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, and for a while everyone doesn't know what to do.
At this time, the little boy Sanji suddenly spoke: "My uncle brought me to Lanzhou to do business, we are separated, he must be looking for me everywhere." If I stay here for a few days, he will definitely find it. ”
As soon as everyone heard it, it made sense, anyway, there is no other way now, just keep this child by his side for a few days, maybe his family will really find it?
So Ye Feng stammered a little and said to Tang Rou: "Miss Tang, can you let Xiao Sanji follow you in the next few days, maybe, his uncle will come soon." ”
I don't know why, every time he talks to Tang Rou, he always feels his chest thumping, and he is very nervous.
If she usually wanted to let the young lady of the Tang family in Shuzhong take a child as a nanny, she would never be willing, but she was afraid that she would lose her temper.
But now that I think about it, there's no other way, I can't let this kid run around behind the butts of this group of big guys, right?
Besides, Tang Rou also likes this little boy named Sanji very much.
So Tang Rou happily agreed, she took Xiao Sanji's hand and said, "Let's go, my sister will take you to visit Lanzhou City and see what is interesting?"
Looking at the back of Tang Rou pulling Xiao Sanji to leave happily, Ye Feng let out a long breath, and Xie Zhenliang beside him asked, "What are we going to do now?"
Ye Feng looked up at the sky and saw that it was still early, and said softly: "When we get to the ground in Lanzhou, of course, we must first visit our old acquaintance, Ma Jing, the Lanzhou Supervisor!"
