I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

Chapter 265 Extra Story [-]
The war-torn Yingchuan City was full of corpses lying horizontally and vertically hanging vertically, walls and houses collapsed, and the sky was filled with fireworks.

He's rebel army attacked all the way from Jizhou to Yingchuan, and Yingchuan has become a city of death.

A young woman took her two young sons and hid behind a wall that was about to collapse. He's rebels were killing people everywhere, and their mother and son were afraid to go out.

They hid behind the ruins for three days, starving to death.

"Mother, where is my father?"

"Yeah, we are hiding here, why didn't father come out with us?"

There were tears in the woman's eyes, and she didn't know how to answer her son's questioning. Her husband might still be resisting the rebels, or he might have died.

Their mother and son escaped here under the strong cover of the Yingchuan defenders.

There was a sound of leather boots outside, and the three of them hugged each other tightly, not daring to make the slightest sound.

The woman let go of her sons only when there was no movement outside.

She touched the dirty little faces of her two sons with pity, and whispered: "You wait here, mother goes out to find if there is anything to eat."

If this continues, before the rebels find out, their mother and child will starve to death here.

The woman left cruelly, and the two brothers squatted on the ground with their legs hugged. The mother said that if they didn't move, they wouldn't feel hungry.

From noon to evening, my mother came with food, followed by a man.

The mother broke the dry cake in half and shared it with the two sons. The cake was so dry that the two little boys choked on it.

Seeing this, the man behind the mother hastily untied the cowhide water bags on his waist, and gave each of the two little boys a sip of water.

The mother suddenly knelt down to the man, tears streaming down her face: "I beg my benefactor to save my son, take them out of Yingchuan, and give them a way to survive."

"Don't worry, ma'am," the man helped his mother up from the ground, "they are the youngest sons of General Zhao, and the Caomin will definitely find a way to protect them. Although the city gate guards are strict, as long as you give the city gate guards more money, Caomin like Merchants can go out."

The mother thanked the man again.

The two boys were ignorant and didn't understand what their mother was negotiating with this stranger. The brothers just ate half of the cake.

The mother tore off half of the shirt, cut her fingers with a dagger, left words on the half of the shirt, and stuffed the two sons and the blood book into the man's hand.

She knelt on the ground and touched the faces of the two sons, hugged and hugged, kissed and kissed, and said tearfully: "You brothers must listen to this uncle from now on, follow this uncle and leave here first, and mother will go to you father, and then I will come to you again."

The two boys were already five years old, and they knew their mother's difficulties in their ignorance, so they obediently agreed.

"After mother finds father, come to us quickly, we are waiting for mother and father outside the city."

"Well, mother will be soon."

The woman got up cruelly and ran out.

The two boys naively thought that the family would be reunited if they went out of the city, never realizing that they would never see their parents again in this life.

The uncle took the two children out of the ruins and brought them to a carriage. A fat woman's face appeared in the window, "Quick, there is a dung box on the cart behind, hide the children in there." .”

The feces box stinks, but this is the safest place I can think of.

The cart was loaded with all the uncle's belongings, including tables, benches, boxes and bedding.

The uncle unloaded all the things from the car, and carried the two little boys into the dung box, "I'm sorry, you two, uncle will let you out when you leave the city. Make a sound."

The two children are young, but they also know that there are thieves killing people everywhere. The uncle did this to protect them. No matter how smelly the dung box is, they can bear it.

Uncle peeled two candies and put them in the mouths of the two children, "Eat this and you won't feel bad."

The dung frame was pressed to the bottom, and other belongings were reinstalled, tied firmly with hemp rope, and the cart creaked and wobbled towards the gate of Yingchuan City.

When we arrived at the gate of the city, the car stopped. Someone was knocking on the cart, and my uncle said good things to the guard with a smile on his face.

The two boys heard the sound of drawing their swords, and they shrank silently, not daring to make a sound.

The sharp sword pierced in through the gap, and then pulled out again. After stabbing several times, the edge of the sword brushed against the faces of the two boys, just a little bit, and the blade would be stained with blood.

Perhaps no abnormality was found, the cart restarted and drove out of the city gate.

Once out of the city, the horse ran very fast and ran for a long time before stopping.

The uncle released the two boys from the dung box. This is a post station. The uncle gave them money and they had a room to live in.

That night, the fat aunt took a bath for their brothers, put on clean clothes, and ate hot and delicious meals.

The fat aunt looked kind and loving, and said nervously to their brothers: "From now on, we will be your father and mother. Your name is Wei Mingxu, and your name is Wei Mingji. Anyone who asks you will say that you are our son, understand?"

"We have parents, they will come to find us." Wei Mingxu tilted his head and said solemnly.

The fat aunt rubbed his face: "I know, but before your parents find us, you brothers must call our parents, there are thieves everywhere, we are running for our lives, you know?"

The two brothers nodded in confusion.

"We have a new name, what's your name? Otherwise, if others ask us, we won't know." Wei Mingji asked in a waxy voice.

The fat aunt suddenly laughed, hugged Wei Mingji, and said: "Then remember, your father's name is Wei Jinde, and I'm Fang Ruolan. Our hometown is in Beihai County, Qingzhou. Our family is in business. You were born when Yingchuan was doing business, do you know?"

"Oh, I see."

The two brothers nodded again.

They slept soundly that night in their comfortable beds.

Wei Fang and his wife took their brothers to Beihai County. The Wei family is a big family, and the rest of the Wei family didn't seem to welcome them.

"Are these two children really born by you? Why don't they look like the second child?" A mean-looking woman looked at the two brothers carefully and murmured.

Mrs. Fang rolled her eyes at the woman, "It wasn't born by us, did it fall from the sky? My son, Mother Xiao, they look like me. I became ugly when I was sick. I used to be a flower."

"You gave birth to a pair of twins. Why don't you write to your family about such a big happy event? They brought them back when they grew up to such a big age. Isn't that scaring us?"

Wei Jinde looked at the two sons with a smile, "Your sister-in-law is not in good health, and she is even weaker after giving birth to these two children. I have to take care of the business and take care of their mother and child. .”

The couple talked nonsense, and no one doubted the origins of Ming Xu and Ming Ji's brothers.

Wei Jinde opened a school at home so that all the sons of the family could go to school.

The two brothers were out of tune with the children of this family. When they had time, they sat on the steps of the Wei Mansion and looked around, hoping that their biological parents would find them here and take them away.

Five years passed in a flash, and the two brothers were ten years old. They didn't wait for their biological parents, but a general who rode a tall horse and led a team of armored troops.

Wei Jinde called the two brothers into the banquet hall to meet the general, and the two brothers recognized the general immediately, "Uncle Lu!" The two brothers shouted and rushed to embrace the general.

"Uncle Lu, you're here, where are my parents? Why didn't they come?" Wei Mingxu hugged General Lu's arm and did not let go, his eyes were still looking around.

"Uncle Lu, are you here to take us to meet my parents?" Wei Mingji looked at General Lu expectantly.

General Lu's eyes were slightly red, he was silent for a while, and said: "General Zhao and his wife died five years ago. Uncle has been looking for you since he drove away the traitors in Yingchuan, and finally saw you today."

The two children cried with a whoosh. The relatives they had been looking forward to had long since died.

Mrs. Fang's eyes were dripping with tears, she silently went to hug Wei Mingxu who was crying the most, wiped his tears for him, and coaxed him: "General Zhao and his wife are people with family and country righteousness, they are heroes, you brothers must remember them forever In the heart."

General Lu bowed to the Wei family and said, "I came here today to bring the two orphans of General Zhao back to the capital, take them to the army to practice, and carry on General Zhao's behest. Don't block it."

Now the house-changing lady cried, "General, our husband and wife have been married for many years and have never had any children. They have raised their brothers as their own children in the past five years, and they have never been treated poorly."

"If the general takes them away, it will also dig out the hearts of our husband and wife! I beg the general, let them stay. I don't know much about women, but I also know that soldiers must bleed and die in battle."

"General Zhao's family died in battle, leaving only these two orphans. If they have a good or bad relationship in the future, will the general let their brothers go to the Nine Springs to reunite with General Zhao and his wife?"

"Yes, General." Wei Jinde also pleaded: "Let them stay, I have a lot of money, I will definitely take care of raising them, and I will serve the court as an official in the future."

General Lu looked embarrassed, "It's His Majesty's intention to bring them back to the capital, please understand."

Wei Jinde said again: "Practicing martial arts and joining the army also depends on the physical condition. These two children seem to be strong and strong, but they have suffered a lot from Yingchuan all the way to Beihai County, and they are no longer suitable for the army."

Mrs. Fang also knelt down, "We took them out of Yingchuan on a risky basis. We didn't have any selfish intentions. We just wanted them to support our husband and wife until the end of their lives. The general will take them away at once. Isn't our husband and wife's five years of hard work in vain? gone."

The adults were at a stalemate for a while, and the two brothers looked at each other with tears in their eyes.

Indeed, the Wei family has treated them very well in the past five years, if they follow General Lu back to the capital, then their brothers will suffer the pain of being separated from each other and travel long distances.

"Mother, don't cry, we won't leave." Wei Mingji knelt beside Mrs. Fang, wiping her tears.

Wei Mingxu also cried and begged General Lu not to take them away. Since their biological parents were dead, they were willing to stay with their adoptive parents.

The two children were also unwilling to go with him, so General Lu temporarily left the Wei Mansion to let the Wei family think about it carefully, and promised the children various benefits after coming to the capital.

On the third day, General Lu came again. This time, the Weis and his wife were not so conflicted. Wei Jinde said: "You two brothers, you must leave one for us to take care of. The general can only take one away."

General Lu also agreed with Wei Jinde's proposal. As for who to take away, it is up to General Lu to decide.

General Lu asked a few exam questions, and after the two brothers answered them seriously, General Lu decided to take away his second son, Wei Mingji.

Wei Jinde has one more condition, he can take Wei Mingji away, but Wei Mingji is still Wei Jinde's son, whether he changes his name or surname, General Lu can't stop them from visiting the second son in the capital.

General Lu readily agreed. The two children were orphans. Someone was willing to take care of them in the name of their parents. General Lu had no reason to stop them.

Wei Mingji, who was only ten years old, worshiped General Lu as his adoptive father and went to the capital with him.
