Chapter Four The Proud Boy
"You are quite smart, and you can still think of a way to engrave it with Luo Fu."
Tang Jinzhen looked at Liu Yaoyao casually, the emotion between her brows was light and hard to fathom.
Liu Yaoyao waved her hand casually. Without the cover of the ghillie suit, Tang Jinzhen frowned at the sight of her arm that looked like it could be broken if she was stronger.
"I have been studying this matter for a long time. It doesn't require any superb counterfeiting skills, as long as I can deceive them both."
Speaking of this, Liu Yaoyao was very happy.
After she accepted this body and knew that her original body was sold, she focused on the so-called contract of sale.
Liu Yaoyao had no idea how restrictive the deed of betrayal was, so he took the chance and exchanged the deed of betrayal.
I will not mention how nervous I was during this period.
It was just the money for selling one's body that made Liu Yaoyao murmur in her heart.
"Mr. Tang, do you think it's reasonable that my selling price is only a few dozen cents?"
Tang Jinzhen paused when he heard this:
"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable."
Jixiang Ruyi on the other side nodded repeatedly because of Tang Jinzhen's words, and Jixiang even said bluntly:
"Selling children is actually the most profitable. The cheapest ones only cost a few taels of silver. These tens of cents... are like a joke."
Liu Yaoyao was silent and then smiled again:
"Just laugh about it, I'm free anyway."
When the little girl mentioned the word freedom, her eyes burst out with intense light, and Tang Jinzhen was fascinated by it.
Freedom, what a beautiful word, but who really owns it?
Thinking of this, Tang Jinzhen chuckled, as if mocking, as if cold...
Ruyi looked at Liu Yaoyao as if she was curious:
"Don't you ever want to go find your parents?"
If one goes by what Liu Yaoyao said, there is obviously something wrong with her life experience.
Although I have almost forgotten my past memories, it is not impossible to find them.
After all, their young master could tell at a glance that he was from an extraordinary family, so this smart little girl would not give up.
"I don't want to look for it."
"Why?"
Liu Yaoyao answered without any hesitation. Ruyi was extremely surprised when he heard the answer, and the words that went beyond the rules were spoken without thinking.
When Jixiang poked him, he realized that his round face turned pale immediately.
She quietly glanced at her young master, only to see that his attention was focused on that strange little girl.
"I hate trouble."
The smile on Liu Yaoyao's face disappeared when she said this, and her eyes became a little darker due to her seriousness. She didn't look like a child at all:
"A deed of sale worth tens of renminbi already shows how muddy the water here is. I don't know what my biological parents, who have been separated for many years, think of me. Why should I risk my life to find them?"
This is a ruthless thing to say, but it is also reasonable.
Speaking from the mouth of an eight-year-old girl, she is sensible and mature.
Ruyi opened her mouth and said "I'm sorry".
"Okay, let's go back to Zhuangzi and settle down first."
Tang Jinzhen said these words to Ruyi, which relieved the embarrassment just now. She turned her head and said to Liu Yaoyao:
"This is the boundary of Daliu Village, about 20 miles away from Dawang Village. I have a manor at the foot of the mountain. We may have to stay here tonight."
Manor! Liu Yaoyao blinked her bright eyes again, her face full of expectation:
"Then Mr. Laotang is here. I still have some scraps of silver in my hand, so I hope you won't refuse."
Tao Yaoyao said as she pretended to find her money bag and handed it over, very insistently.
Tang Jinzhen didn't reach out or refuse. She was silent for a while and then said:
"The money is free. If you are willing, girl, can I leave the meals to you during this period?"
"OK."
Tao Yaoyao was not pretentious, she put her money bag away and followed their footsteps.
But in my heart I sighed that I had met a good person.
The group walked for nearly a stick of incense before descending the mountain.
The manor mentioned by Tang Jinzhen is not far from the foot of the mountain and occupies a very large area. Looking from a high place, one can vaguely see the structure and beautiful scenery of the house.
Jixiang and his men carried the wild boar into the mansion first to take care of it, leaving only Ruyi and two men behind.
Liu Yaoyao, who finally saw the light, apologized to Tang Jinzhen with a blank face:
"I am sorry."
I'm sorry for dragging down their schedule, and I'm sorry for disrupting their plans.
"It doesn't matter."
Tang Jinzhen was still walking calmly, without any signs of embarrassment.
Although the words are concise, it will not make people feel embarrassed.
"It's just that you'd better dress like a man."
Liu Yaoyao was about to take out her wallet again, but she heard Tang Jinzhen say:
"We're here. There's only grandma at home. I'll let her take care of you."
Liu Yaoyao hurriedly said:
"No, no, I can take care of myself."
Tang Jinzhen stood at the door of her manor with her hands folded, looking even more noble under the bright red lantern:
"I'm afraid you won't get used to it when you're here for the first time. Please ask your grandma to accompany you."
Inexplicably, Liu Yaoyao didn't want to refuse anymore, so she cupped her hand in a nondescript manner and said:
"Thank you Mr. Tang for taking care of me."
Tang Jinzhen nodded:
"You have a good rest and we'll set out tomorrow morning."
After a pause, looking at Liu Yaoyao who looked tired, he added:
"My destination is the border. You can ask grandma for a map and think about where to go..."
Liu Yaoyao nodded silently, watching the young man's clothes swaying in sharp arcs.
…
The dark sky was filled with stars, and the warm breeze passed through the bamboo curtains and passed through the silk-framed windows, bringing a bit of coolness.
Liu Yaoyao was sitting in an antique room wiping her hair, feeling like she was in a different year.
"Girl, the kitchen has cooked some minced meat porridge. You need to satisfy your hunger first."
The visitor was Aunt Bai, who was very well-dressed. Seeing her personally carrying the tray, Liu Yaoyao was flattered.
"Aunt Bai, I can do it myself, how can I ask you to do it!"
She stretched out her hand to take it, but Aunt Bai dodged it:
"Girl, please stop taking it. This porridge is at the right temperature. It's only proper to eat it quickly."
Liu Yaoyao was not used to her elders taking care of her, but she also knew that this was not future generations, but a dynasty without human rights.
"Thank you, mama, please take care of me. Uh..."
Liu Yaoyao was pushed down on the chair by Aunt Bai, and the cloth in her hand was also taken away, and she wiped her hair with gentleness.
"Girl, let's eat. I'll tell you about the states and cities in our northern region..."
…………
In the Divine Phoenix Continent, there are rumors that a Divine Phoenix once came to the world.
When the phoenix's beak opens and closes, nectar and magical medicine fall to the ground, and all things are full of vitality.
It is later said that the Northern Territory is where the Divine Phoenix resides.
There is an abundant harvest, mountains of gold and silver, silk like clouds, and a collection of books that can reach the sky...
…
After listening to the story of Divine Phoenix Continent, Liu Yaoyao just took the last bite of porridge. The corners of her mouth twitched.
Aunt Bai seemed to know what she was thinking, she smiled and continued:
"At that time, there was no distinction between the five kingdoms. The war lasted for more than two hundred years to compete for the legendary habitat of the divine phoenix."
Liu Yaoyao had a knot on his brow. In the war that lasted for more than two hundred years, one can imagine how many people died.
