Crush the Protagonist Into Slag

"Father! Father, what's wrong with you? This son, why did my father pass out?"

A sturdy middle-aged man ran to support Tao Wangcai, his face pale with anxiety.

Tao Rui handed the person over to him and looked at what he said. The man hurriedly thanked him and shouted into the yard: "Xiu Niang, come and greet your benefactor. Fuxi, find Langzhong, quickly find Langzhong!"

Another woman and a girl ran out of the yard, and the neighbors and villagers who saw them all came to help. Tao Rui followed them into the yard and found that although the yard was not that good, it was not bad. The first impression it gave was that it was clean and tidy.

It seems that there are only these four people in their family. The four spacious adobe houses, plus a stove room and a small warehouse next to them, are really comfortable to live in.

There were several strings of corn and peppers hanging under the eaves, a large piece of dried potatoes was drying on the ground beside the wall, and there was a large vat in the corner with cabbage piled next to it. It seemed that the woman and the girl just pickled sauerkraut there.

It has a very life-like atmosphere, and it also feels very comfortable and warm. At least that's how Tao Rui felt in this farmyard.

The woman who called Xiu Niang poured out a bowl of hot water, added sugar, and brought it to Tao Rui. She wiped the table and stool cautiously, "Please take a seat, I don't have anything good to entertain at home, so please take care. Thank you so much for saving me. I've lost my father, otherwise I wouldn't dare to think about what to do at home."

Tao Rui picked up the water and said with a smile: "You don't need to be called 'Emperor', whoever happens to meet will help. I'll take a break and leave, you can do it."

Xiu Niang said anxiously: "This, this, can you ask your benefactor your name? We must keep it in our hearts and pray for you day and night. By the way, there are a few chickens and two pigs at home, and they are well raised. , you leave an address, and I'll let the master deliver it to you later."

"You don't have to be so polite," Tao Rui asked when he saw the village's Langzhong running, and he was even busier there, "Is there no one else in your family?"

"Yes, there are only four of us in the family. Just now I was talking about my father-in-law going out for more than half a day, and I was thinking about the family going out to look for it. I didn't expect such a thing to happen. I was afraid after thinking about it. You sir. You must accept the thank you gift, we don't have anything good, or you can come and see it with me, the chicken and pig are in the backyard, they are all good, and I can add some food for you."

The pigs raised by the farm are also considered a big income by the end of the year, and a few chickens can lay a few eggs a day, which can also be saved and sold. This is what I give, without hesitation, and without discussing it with anyone. It makes Tao Rui sure that the family has a good atmosphere, that the four members of the family have a good relationship, and the most important thing is that they have good character.

He put down the bowl and was about to leave. The girl who had asked Langzhong to come over quickly walked over with a small plate of snacks in her hand. She carefully placed the dim sum in front of Tao Rui and said, "Engong, there is nothing good to entertain you in the village. Lizheng just bought it from the capital today. No one has touched it. You can eat two bites. You must come from the mountains. exhausted."

"Yes, yes, it's still as thoughtful as Fuxi thought. Engong, sit down and I'll get you a bowl of noodles." Xiu Niang clapped her hands and hurried to the kitchen.

"Don't be busy, I'll leave now, I'm afraid my family will worry about it later." Tao Rui stood up, and he deliberately wiped some dirt on his face, so he couldn't recognize his facial features, but if he stayed any longer, he would be exposed.

Fuxi hurriedly said: "My grandfather, stay here and eat a few bites. My mother's noodles are better than the ones in the Jingcheng store. Really, there used to be some big families who specially asked my mother to make noodles. You saved me. Grandpa, we are so grateful, you just let us do something."

Tao Rui's eyes swept across her face, and sat down again, "Then there is work."

Fuxi smiled and immediately went into the kitchen to help. She is seventeen years old, and it is inconvenient to spend too long with strange men.

Liu Nian said: [Brother Rui, this is the daughter of the prince's mansion who is in the wrong hands, right? She really looks a lot like Tao Li. If it weren't for the looks of the two of you, it would be very difficult to prove that you were wrong, and the blood test would be inaccurate. 】

[She seems to have a good life here, but when she returned to the palace, she didn't have a good life. How do you like it here? 】

[Liu Nian: Very good, Brother Rui wants to come? Come on, anyway, as long as people are good, nothing else matters. 】

This is indeed, after he has traveled through so many lives and learned so many things, the most important thing is the people around him. Everything else is available on its own.

Tao Rui didn't leave in a hurry. Li Zheng, who came to inquire with him, waited for a chat, and Fuxi brought him some water and told him to wash his hands and face.

Tao Rui wiped his face in front of them, and everyone showed a thoughtful look. The 50% similarity really gave people a very familiar feeling. In the end, Fuxi recognized it first and said in surprise, "Gonggonghe My grandpa looks just like that!"

As soon as the words came out, she felt inappropriate. How could the nobles in the capital be willing to be like peasants? But Li Zheng and other villagers also found out and nodded in amazement. They have seen two people who look alike, but they have never seen such a resemblance even in a family of blood.

Li Zheng, who was a little older, said, "This son looks like Old Master Tao when he was young. Could this... be a distant relative?"

It happened that Fuxi's father also settled down and the old man came out. Hearing this, he was surprised, "I don't know what fate is, but I remember that my father said that there are no relatives in the family. Anyway, today is a great blessing. I'll be fine in the day, and I don't even need the precious medicinal materials, I'm really lucky."

He said solemnly to Tao Rui, "Thank you Engong for saving my father's life. My name is Tao Jin. If you want to send Engong in the future, just find me."

That gulp of spiritual spring water made up all the lost vitality of the old man, of course it was all right. Tao Rui smiled, chatted with them, and unknowingly knew the situation in Xishan Village.

After the noodles were ready, Li Zheng greeted everyone and left, leaving Tao Jin and Xiu Niang sitting at the table watching Tao Rui eat the noodles. Fu Xisheng ordered some noodles and went into the house to feed the old man.

Tao Rui waited for her to go in for a while before saying, "When I saw the old man's face clearly, I just thought it was a coincidence. When I saw Ling Ai just now, I was really startled, she actually looks very similar to my mother. "

Tao Rui looked up at them, both of them were stunned. Because Tao Rui is like his father, and his girl is like Tao Rui's mother, this is no longer a coincidence. Even if they weren't smart enough to think of the truth all of a sudden, did they think there was something unusual about it?

Xiu Niang quickly remembered when she gave birth, and her eyes widened, "Engong, you... who is your family?"

"The Duke of Xuanguo." Tao Rui stammered again, not at all feeling that what he had released was a bomb.

Xiu Niang's lips trembled, she grabbed Tao Jin and said terrified: "Xuanguo Gongfu, when I gave birth in a broken temple, was that called Xuanguo Gongfu?"

"Yes..." Tao Jin was also stunned. When his wife was about to give birth, there was a young master in the general's house who was clamoring for delicious noodles, and he had to embroider the mother. As a result, on the way back from making noodles, he encountered a heavy rain and was trapped in the ruined temple.

At that time, another pregnant woman also entered the ruined temple. There were many servants around. He heard that they mentioned the Xuanguo Gongfu in their chat. That day, the lady was shocked and gave birth prematurely, and Embroidery Niang also had fetal gas and started a few days in advance. He didn't know anything and was in a hurry. Fortunately, there was a maid accompanying the lady, who greeted the maids to help with the delivery, and also helped the embroidery. The mother also gave birth.

During the birth, the two pregnant women were not far from each other, all the men retreated outside, and Xiu Niang fainted after giving birth. This, this, these two children, are they holding the wrong one!

Tao Jin frowned and muttered: "But it's impossible. At that time, there were five or six people in the ruined temple, all of whom belonged to the government, and the maid who delivered the baby. Can she get the child wrong? One boy and one girl, she gave it to her family. Don't you know that Madam delivered a boy and a girl?"

Xiu Niang suddenly froze for a moment, "I, I seem to remember, I took a look at the baby when it was born, and there was a birthmark on my shoulder. I didn't find the birthmark when I got home, and I thought I was confused and remembered wrong..."

As she spoke, she stared at Tao Rui's left shoulder, and Tao Jin also looked over.

Tao Rui was still holding up the bowl to drink the soup, as if their shocking discussion was nothing to him, until they came up with a birthmark, he put down the bowl and wiped his mouth. Turning over the collar sideways, "I really have a birthmark. I didn't even notice it."

The couple took a breath and looked at Tao Rui in shock, and then looked at the old man's room, where the girl they had raised for seventeen years was there.

Tao Rui pondered: "This is a bit strange, just like you said, how can the delivery person get the wrong man and woman? Unless she intends to change it. So don't make any noise for now, and I'll talk about it when I go back and figure it out."

Tao Jin and Xiu Niang didn't have any other ideas, they nodded when they heard the words. Xiu Niang grasped the hem of her clothes and looked at Tao Rui. The more she looked, the more friendly she became. Her eyes turned red, she held back her throat and asked, "You, are you doing well in the Guogong Mansion?"

After speaking, she wiped the corners of her eyes and forced a smile: "Look at what I asked, you must have a good life in a big family."

Tao Rui smiled sarcastically: "That's not necessarily true, my mother gave birth to another son, this time in the house, I must have made no mistake. I didn't understand why my mother was so partial and only loved my brother. It hurts me, it seems that I finally found the answer today."

"What? Doesn't that mean that the lady is also aware of it? She still treats you badly?" Xiu Niang's overwhelm turned into anger immediately. She gave birth to a son so well, how could that person just change it and not treat him well? Who is this?

Tao Jin also said: "Whether it's wrong or not, she treats you like this is too much. No, we'll go back with you and make it clear to her. If there's a mistake, you can ask the few people who were there back then."

"Hmph, if you deliberately hold it wrong, they won't admit it if you kill him." Xiu Niang stood up and walked back and forth in anger, but she couldn't think of a good way.

Tao Rui was a little stunned when he saw their reaction. He didn't expect that the first thing they knew of the truth was to stand up for him. He felt a little pity for the original owner. If the original owner hadn't been nurtured by the government, he would be very happy to recognize such a parent. Looking at Miss Fuxi, you know that growing up in this family is not a bad thing.

It's a pity that the original owner didn't even want to look at the farmer's parents at that time. He only hated that the people in the government's government were ruthless towards him, hated Qin Ruo and Tao Bin for stepping him into the mud, and his heart was filled with hatred.

This only highlights Tao Li's hate.

Tao Rui didn't think much about it before, but now after hearing what Xiu Niang and Tao Jin said, he concluded that it must have been the child of Tao Li's. Tao Li's own choice was clean, and he pretended to be innocent all his life, but he abandoned an original owner, and also made Tao Jin and his wife miserable. Even Fuxi was no longer happy when he returned to the Guogong Mansion.

Because they hadn't gotten along for more than ten years, Tao Li didn't like or cared about this girl at all, not to mention that the existence of this girl reminded her of what she did back then. No matter how she cleaned up the traces, she still felt as if she was being questioned by Fuxi when she saw Fuxi, asking why she lost her.

So she married Fuxi to the far south and married a county magistrate. Fuxi had no relatives there, and he had never learned how to handle the family or how to get along with other ladies.

This is all the fault of Tao Li's!

Tao Rui looked back at the old man's door, such a good girl should not end up like that. Maybe he should think about how to leave the Duke's Mansion. Sometimes he doesn't know what to say, and instead throws sewage.

He doesn't care about a lot of things, and he's not willing to get involved with Qin Ruo and the others, but he can't bear the blame for them.

With business to do, Tao Rui got up and planned to go back.

Tao Jin and Xiu Niang were very reluctant to give up. Although there was no more evidence, but with the birthmark and appearance, they had basically determined that this was their own son.

Tao Rui said with a smile: "It's getting late, I told the servants that I went into the mountains, and if I don't go back, they are afraid they will go into the mountains to find me. I'll come to see you another day, so don't talk to the old man about this. Having said that, he is injured, and I am afraid that he will be agitated, which will be detrimental to his recovery."

He paused and said, "The noodles are delicious, thank you."

Xiu Niang couldn't help nodding her head, tears were about to fall, she watched Tao Rui stride away, clutching Tao Jin's arm tightly. Tao Jin couldn't hide his excitement, and patted her hand to reassure him: "We're going to pack up, don't tell Fuxi to see it. Fuxi... She can't let her know first. Maybe, maybe this matter will be brought to you. into the coffin?"

Xiu Niang covered her mouth and cried twice, "They bully people too much, but how can we seek justice?"

"Don't say it, take one step at a time."

The two are very entangled. They want to go to the yamen to file a lawsuit, but what can they file a lawsuit with? Tell the lady of the government's government? Can there be results?

Besides, is Tao Rui willing to recognize them? Is the state government willing to recognize Fuxi again? That family doesn't sound like a good family. These two are good children, and they are reluctant to give it.

The two stood blankly for a while, and when they heard movement in the house, they hurriedly wiped their faces and went to the backyard to avoid them, feeding the chickens and pigs. Until they know more, they can't leak the news, otherwise things will get out of hand.

Fuxi finished feeding grandpa, and when she came out, she found that everyone was gone. She found the backyard and smiled and said, "Dad, why are you here? Go and boil water to wipe grandpa's body. He has dry clothes and sun-dried clothes in his closet. The quilt. After changing it, sleep comfortably, and the fever will definitely subside."

"Hey, I'll go right now." Tao Jin agreed, looked at Fuxi, and hurried to boil the water.

Xiu Niang also looked at Fuxi a few more times, and when she saw Fuxi come to help her feed the chickens, she felt uncomfortable. Such a good girl, why is Tao Li's heart ruthless?

All the good people have done farm work for all these years, and have never enjoyed any riches and honors. It would be very sad to know the truth. And Tao Rui was hugged back by Tao Li, but he didn't love him or not, so what would he do when he was hugged back? It's not that she lacks a son. If you don't want to raise it, just give it back to her!

Xiu Niang was about to explode with rage, if Tao Li appeared in front of her at this moment, she could pounce on her and strangle her!
