Brother Wanfu

Chapter 67
Walking on the field ridge in summer night, the thin evening wind gathers from under the trees, blows on the temples of people, and blows away the impetuosity in the daytime.

The two figures walked quietly, one high, one low, one back, and the small group of fireflies gathered and scattered with the wind brought by their walking.

After a while, Qin Tian stopped.

"I'm ready."

"Then go back and rest."

"it is good."

The little girl's eyes curled up, and she let out a long breath, clearing away all the fatigue, tension and dullness of the past few days.

Qin Shen watched and sent her all the way back to the door of the room before leaving.

It was already more than half of the night, even though Qin Shen often marched and fought, he was also tired at this time, so he simply washed up and fell asleep.

Closing his eyes, the situation during the day suddenly emerged, like a series of portraits, swaying before his eyes, and finally fixed on the carriage stopped by the officers and soldiers, and the man in a red wedding dress who came out of the carriage someone's girl
Qin Shen quickly shook his head, cleared all distracting thoughts from his mind, and then gradually fell asleep.

Except for the guards who took turns guarding the courtyard, the whole courtyard fell into a deep sleep, and did not wake up until the sun rose high.

Qin Shen also woke up. Although it was getting late, he slept late last night and didn't sleep for several hours in total.

He sat on the edge of the bed and pinched the center of his brows. As soon as he raised his hand, the scene in the dream just now came back instantly.

The dream was as clear as it was real, and everything in the dream was still so fresh in my memory.

But thinking about the dream, Qin Shen frowned and closed his eyes.

Before noon, Li Weizhen's caravan arrived here.

The weather was hotter today, so Li Weizhen directly used this as an excuse to order the caravan to stop for a rest, while Bai Chen, who was hiding in the caravan, went to the place where Qin Shen and the others were staying quietly together with Li Weizhen.

Seeing Bai Chen, Yue Ying couldn't stop crying.

"Why are you still crying? You don't want to see me?" Bai Chen teased her, and walked up to wipe the tears hanging on her face with his own hands.

Yue Ying glared at him, while Bai Chen lowered his head next to her ear.

"Actually, when you're fierce and stare at people, it's pretty pretty."

Yue Ying couldn't help but pushed him, "Everyone is watching, restrain yourself!"

Bai Chen started giggling, and he stopped laughing until the wound hurt so badly.

Seeing this, Li Weizhen sighed, "General Bai's heart is as wide as the sea, which is beyond my reach."

Bai Chen waved his hand, "Why is your heart as wide as the sea? It's just that from now on, apart from this life, you will be poor and useless. What else can you not care about?"

These words were heard by everyone.

Perhaps it was because of such a mentality that Bai Chen was able to pass five trials and kill six generals all the way. Even if he was wanted by the government all over the city, he could still find his way out.

Everyone finally got together and had a meal in this farm at noon. I don't know if it was a celebration banquet, a reception banquet, or a farewell banquet.

After dinner, Qin Shen asked Yue Ying, "Do you still remember the place where you lived with that old aunt in the palace?"

Moon Shadow was also ten years old when she was kidnapped.

She said she remembered that she could name the villages and towns, but she couldn't tell which state or prefecture she was in.

Fortunately, it wasn't far away where she was abducted and sold. The traffickers took her for a day and then sold her there.

Qin Shen asked someone to bring over the map of the nearby counties and asked Yueying to find it by herself. After a while, Yueying recognized her hometown, which was not far to the east.

That night, everyone took a short rest, and set off for Yueying's hometown early the next morning.

That place is far away from the sea, and the wind blowing towards us seems to be mixed with the smell of sea water.

If Yueying hadn't been trafficked, she might have married someone nearby like the little girls in the village, and lived a relatively stable life even though she wasn't rich.

You don't have to sing and sing every day, you will be beaten and punished if you are careless, you will be bullied by nobles who don't know your status, and you will be targeted by those men with malicious intentions.
Yueying approached the hometown in her memory, and the whole person fell silent. Bai Chen stopped teasing her, took her hand and accompanied her all the way to search for fragments of memory.

The village is still the same as it used to be, but the children in the village are no longer the children of the past. They are curiously looking at the visitors, and Moon Shadow is also looking at them.

It's just that when Yueying went around other people's houses and went to the place where she lived with the old aunt in the palace in her memory, she was stunned.

The small courtyard that was originally neatly built is the most glamorous courtyard in the village, but now it is dilapidated.

Moon Shadow stepped forward, the door was locked, and it creaked when she pushed.

Grass has grown in the courtyard, and there is no human habitation.

Yueying froze in place, she couldn't believe the scene in front of her.

"It's here, my aunt is the richest person in the village and lives in the best house, but what about my aunt?"

Before the words fell, someone stepped forward.

"Is it Ruyi?"

Wishful!

Moon Shadow's former name.

Yueying quickly turned around and saw an elderly man.

"Uncle Fang?"

"Ah! What a wish! You're back!"

The Fifth Uncle Fang came forward, and Yueying introduced to everyone that this is the cousin of the old aunt. At that time, the old aunt's family was gone, and after returning to her hometown after leaving the palace, only this cousin was left.

Uncle Fang Wu has been in the village all his life, and he has never seen so many people come here, so he looked around and was a little nervous.

Yueying comforted him, talked about what happened after he was kidnapped, and vaguely mentioned that these people saved him, so Uncle Fang relaxed a little.

But he sighed again and again, with a look of sadness on his face.

"After you were kidnapped, my old cousin couldn't eat or sleep. She blamed herself every day, and her body collapsed very quickly. It took only half a year for her to die."

People are gone.

Rao Yueying had expected it, but she couldn't help but shed tears.

Qin Tian's nose was also a little sore, even if it was just an adopted child, that old aunt was doing her best to raise Yueying.

She pinched her nose.

Qin Shen was also silent when he heard the words.

But if this is the case, if you want to find out where the old aunt raised Yueying, there is no one to ask.

So, is Yueying, who was searched hard by Huang Xian and others, the rumored widow of the Eastern Palace?

Qin Shen thought to himself.

At this moment, Fifth Uncle Fang sighed and glanced at Yueying.

"There are some things that I don't need to tell you, but I thought about it, and you should know."

"What is it, you just say it." Yueying said.

"The old cousin looked for you everywhere because you were lost, and she still hoped that you were not abducted by a pauper, but just picked up by your own parents."

"My biological parents?" Yue Ying never heard her aunt mention her biological parents, she only said that she would tell her when she grew up.

As soon as the words came out, everyone looked over.

Qin Shen also collected his mind.

Uncle Fang Wu nodded, "Yes, my cousin went to your biological parents' house to look for you, but unfortunately she didn't find you. Instead, they found out about your loss and scolded my cousin for losing you." I lost my mind and was scolded by them without saying a word. I took the money and sent them away. It's just that my cousin got sicker and worse after that, and finally "

Yueying's face turned pale in this sudden incident.

"Who are the biological parents? They were born but not raised, so why should they scold my aunt?!"

Fifth Uncle Fang sighed heavily, "They live not far from here, in the next county. Because they had five daughters in a row and had no sons, they couldn't afford to raise them, so they sold their daughters' marriages. At that time, you were only three years old, and she was about to sell you to a passing merchant, but my cousin saw that the merchant was acting like a profiteer, so she simply bought you and brought you home to raise yourself, but she never expected you to be lost."

Moon Shadow was in a trance.

It turned out that her fate might have been doomed to live a humble life. If it wasn't for her aunt who gave her a carefree childhood, she might not have resisted any more, nor would she have met Bai Chen because she wanted to escape her destiny. There will be such a new life.

But my aunt blamed herself and felt guilty until the end of her life!

Yueying asked her aunt where she was resting, and Bai Chen accompanied her all the way there.

Yueying sat in front of her aunt's grave for a long time, and then cleaned the weed-covered courtyard of the small courtyard.

Due to Yueying's sudden disappearance, her aunt died in the courtyard. Although many people liked this courtyard, no one dared to live in it.

Uncle Fang Wu gave the rusty key to Yueying.

But Moon Shadow didn't want it.

She is still a wanted criminal by the government and is wandering abroad, so it is hard to say that she will have time to come here.

She also didn't tell Fifth Uncle Fang her current identity, she only said that she had lost money in business and wanted to find something else to do with Bai Chen somewhere else.

"I'll see Uncle Wu and Auntie again when I settle down."

"Alright, alright."

The Sri Lankan people have passed away, and the living will continue to move forward on this thorny road in this troubled world.

But after they left this place, Yueying proposed to see her biological parents.

Hearing this, Shen Xiao thought that Yue Ying wanted to find relatives, but just as she frowned, she heard someone whisper in her ear.

"It's definitely not a visit, I just want to stand on the sidelines."

It's Li Weizhen.

Shen Xiao looked, and he smiled and nodded at her.

See clearly with your own eyes and seal the past thoroughly.

Shen Xiao understood.

Sure enough, Yueying only went outside the courtyard of that family.

There were loud and cursing voices coming from the courtyard, chaotic footsteps, and unintelligible dialect insults, until the swaying wooden door creaked open, and a young woman was pushed out.

Moon Shadow saw the person who pushed her out.

It was an elderly woman with a thin and mean face, gritted her teeth and cursed at the young woman who was pushed out.

"It's useless for me to raise you as a girl, so I'll just take the money back home! If I had known, I might as well have sold you to raise your younger sister, and maybe I would have built a new house for your younger brother!"

The woman pointed at the woman's nose and scolded, the woman covered her face and wept, but she didn't dare to resist, she had no choice but to get up and leave when the woman pushed her away.

She stood up, and everyone saw her appearance.

The appearance was exactly the same as that of Yueying, but compared to Yueying, she had a sad and timid face, and she quickly trotted away and disappeared.And the woman didn't see the crowd in the distance, she just cursed and closed the door with a bang.

It's just that when she closed the door, there was another man's rough scolding sound. She resisted a few words at first, and then only the sound of crying and howling remained.

Moon Shadow withdrew her gaze and shook her head in disbelief.

"I am actually the biological daughter of such a person. If my aunt hadn't adopted me back then, would I be living the same life now?"

Everyone can't help but sigh.

Qin Shen looked back and forth, pursed his lips and crossed his arms.

He looked at Moon Shadow.

Yueying's life experience has been confirmed, she is not someone who came out of the palace, let alone the rumored widow of the East Palace.

So Huang Xian and others spared no effort to catch her, is there any other reason?

Or, the so-called orphans of the East Palace living among the people are just rumors?

Qin Shen secretly thought about the before and after of this matter, but saw Bai Chen walking over.

"Young master Qin, take a step to speak."

Qin Shen was slightly startled, and complied with him and went aside alone.

There was no one else here, so Bai Chen got straight to the point.

"Mr. Qin came here this time because of Yueying's identity, right?"

Qin Shen did not deny it.

Seeing that he was honest, Bai Chen spoke up.

"Yue Ying is not the person you are looking for, is it the princess who was left behind by the people in the Eastern Palace?"

Qin Shen looked over.

Bai Chen said, "Before this, I didn't take this matter seriously, but seeing that eunuch Huang Xian commanding the officers and soldiers with Shang Fang's sword, I remembered that I heard a friend mention that that friend was temporarily assigned to Huang Xian's subordinates. When doing things, he also overheard Huang Xian muttering, saying that the widow might have died a long time ago, but if she died, she would never be found. If he could find someone with an unclear identity to top the vat, he would be able to return to Beijing for a business trip. , lest the emperor be uneasy."

This made Qin Shen silent.

Although Yueying is not someone with another identity, Huang Xian was ordered by the emperor to find the widow of the Eastern Palace!

In other words, the rumors are not false, the emperor personally "proves" that there is indeed a princess left behind among the people!

But, where is this princess now?
