White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 56

Pei Youfang was still young at that time.

The memory before the age of three is already blurred, but Yingyingchaochao still has a bit of a misty imprint, which probably means wandering and wandering without a fixed place.

I can't remember who I met, what happened, but the only thing engraved in my bones is that the purse close to the body is a precious thing, it was given to him by his mother, and the words inside were also left to him by his mother: "Name Forgive me, I forgive you."

As for the woman who picked him up from the mass grave, he did remember it.

At that time, he had already begun to remember things, knew her surname "Zhang", and asked him to call her "Mother Zhang".

I don't have much impression of the details. The beginning of the dream is the starting point of his entire childhood memory. Zhang Nanny tidied him up with a pleasant voice and eyes, and brought him new clothes for him to change into.

Then he was brought to Renyazi.

She wants to sell him.

"He's fair and white, but he's a little older and started to remember things, right?" Ren Yazi had a mouthful of yellow teeth, and his dark hands fiddled with his face.

Nanny Zhang smiled shyly: "You're only two or three years old, what do you remember? Besides, look at this delicate skin and tender meat, it can't be sold to big families. It's no problem to be a young lady when you grow up, okay. It's a good deal!"

The man's cloudy eyes looked at him up and down, and he grinned: "Two liang of silver, no more."

"Two taels? I would sell a girl for more than that price! Four taels, don't let me go for someone else!"

The two bargained for a while, and finally agreed on three or two. Seeing that the teeth were about to pay, Pei You ran away.

But within two steps, she was caught by Madam Zhang and picked her up: "Little bastard, my mother worked so hard to get you out of the mass grave. Without my mother, you would have died long ago! You don't want to eat, drink and wear these days!" Should you give it back to me? Dare to run away?!"

Pei You struggled violently, and she threw him directly on the ground.

His eyes were blackened by the blow, but he still ran when he hit the ground.

He didn't know what "sell" meant, but judging by the expressions of the two, he knew it was not a good thing, but after running two steps, he was picked up again by a big hand.

"Hey, you're not very young, but you have a big temper. Follow me back, and I will let you know what fear is!"

Pei You was still struggling desperately, shouting "Let me go".

For some reason, at that age, he already knew that crying was useless, that tears could not save him.

His yelling attracted the attention of many people, but this is a market for human trafficking, so what if someone sees it?
No one paid him any attention.

It was his struggle that caused the purse that had been hidden in his arms to fall off.

Grandma Zhang saw the purse rolling twice on the ground, her eyes lit up immediately, she knelt down to pick it up, Mosuo back and forth, and opened the purse again.

Pei You was afraid that she would take away the words inside, so she shouted: "Don't move! Let me go, don't move!"

Nanny Zhang looked at the note inside but smiled: "It's still a famous one."

"Let's go, let's go, we won't sell it anymore!" She pushed her teeth and pulled Pei You off.

Nanny Zhang took him home: "You son of a bitch, where do you live, do you remember?"

Pei You shook his head.

"What are your parents' names, do you remember?"

Pei You shook his head.

"Then what do you remember?"

Pei You still shook his head.

Nanny Zhang slapped her face: "Idiot! I might as well sell you!"

On the second day, Nanny Zhang took him to the pawnshop: "Do you see clearly? This is embroidered with gold thread. Look at the stitching. Do you recognize the workmanship?"

Pei You's height only reached her thighs, and she tugged at her sleeves: "Give it back to me! It's mine! You can't be it!"

In fact, he didn't need to make a fuss, and the pawnshop shopkeeper didn't accept the purse, but he was less than four years old at the time, and he was full of eyes. It was the only thing his mother gave him, and he couldn't let others take it.

Nanny Zhang threw him away impatiently, and threw him to the ground again, and accidentally threw the purse out of her hand.

Pei You grabbed her purse and ran away.

Not surprisingly, he was arrested and returned.

"I've provided you with delicious food and drink for so long, and you still want to run away?"

Nanny Zhang locked him in the room and beat him severely.

Had he been beaten before?There is no such thing as Yue Mo, he remembers tossing and wandering, but he doesn't remember punching and kicking.

After that, Nanny Zhang didn't sell him anymore, she found a way to make more money.

Take him to beg.

He was thin, fair, and beautiful.

Take him to the street and kneel down, crying and telling him that his father and mother are dead, that he was too sad and sick at a young age, many passers-by will stop and give a few copper coins.

After a month, it turned out to be more than the money sold for human teeth.

If Madam Zhang hits him again, she will be careful not to hit him in the face.When I was in a good mood, I smiled and said to him: "I begged for all this money because of you! We can find relatives for you only because of the money. Look at you, you speak a Beijing accent, and you still have such a luxurious purse on your body." , maybe it came from a big family in the capital, when I have saved enough money, I will take you to the capital to find your mother!"

He didn't take it seriously at first.

He felt that his mother should have died a long time ago, because Madam Zhang said more than once that he was picked up from a mass grave, and that his family members must have died long ago and were thrown into the mass grave together, telling him not to think about running away.

But one day a mother and daughter came in front of the stall where they were begging.

The little girl was about the same size as him, with two lovely buns. The woman next to her had a gentle smile and her eyes were glued to her body.

"Mother, this little brother is so pitiful, let's give him some money."

In fact, they have been begging in this small town for a while, and many people have seen through their tricks. When the mother and daughter squatted down, someone booed beside them.

The woman noticed it, but still followed her daughter's order and put a few copper coins in the bowl.

"It's too little! It's only enough to buy a few steamed buns! Mother, please give me more!"

The madam pampered her daughter's head and gave her a tael of silver.

"Mother, I want to give this candied haws to my little brother, is that okay?"

"Yes. But you have eaten this bunch, shall we buy another one?"

The little girl happily followed the woman to sell another bunch of candied haws and handed them to him: "Little brother, don't be sad, your illness will recover soon."

When I went back that day, Nanny Zhang beat him up again, because she wanted his bunch of candied haws, but he refused to give them.

"A bunch of broken gourds, do you still think your mother bought it for you? Get out! Eat my mother's and use my mother's, you don't know how to raise a white-eyed wolf!"

Nanny Zhang drove him out of the house and didn't allow him to enter all night.

He was a little bewildered.

It turned out that Nanny Zhang didn't want him, and he didn't know where to go.

Holding the bunch of candied haws that had been soiled in the dispute, he curled up under an old locust tree outside the door, looking up at the moon in the sky.

If he wants to pretend to be sick, he has to be thin and weak.

He hasn't had dinner for a long time.

He looked at the candied haws again, tentatively opened his mouth, and took a bite.

So sweet.

Tears fell suddenly.

He is not used to crying.

But it turns out that having a mother is such a good thing.

She would look at him lovingly, knowing that it was a scam, but also to make him happy, agree to his reasonable and unreasonable requests, and buy him such sweet candied haws.

But where is his mother?

Is she really alive?
