Xi Yu continued: "Linlin, I will send some secret guards and confidants to follow you to protect your safety. You must also be careful in the Kushan country, and everything must be put first."
"Thank you, husband. I will take good care of myself, you don't have to worry."
"That's good. You can prepare and have a good rest these days."
After saying that, Ouyang Linlin turned and left, her steps were light and her face was filled with a happy smile.
Xi Yu looked at her back and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that she could find the answer she wanted in Kushan Country.
On the other side, Jin Gushun rode his horse and galloped all the way.
At this time, it was getting late, and the afterglow of the sunset shone on the earth, giving people a peaceful and mysterious feeling.
Jin Gu looked at the surrounding wilderness and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
He didn't know how long it would take to find a place to stay.
Just when he was feeling desperate, he suddenly saw a family in the mountains.
Jin Gushun was delighted and quickly rode his horse to the door of this family.
After he dismounted, he knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened and an old woman appeared in front of him.
Jin Gushun asked politely: "Hello, old man, I am a traveler passing by. Can I stay here for one night?"
The old woman looked at Jin Gushun up and down, and saw that he was dressed appropriately and behaved elegantly, and she felt a little fond of her heart.
She smiled and said, "Yes, come in."
When Jin Gushun heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
He walked into the house and saw that the house was arranged very simple but very neatly.
The old woman poured a glass of water for Jin Gushun and said, "You sit for a while, I'll prepare dinner for you."
Jin Gushun hurriedly said, "Thank you, old man. You don't have to worry, I'm not hungry."
The old woman smiled and said, "No trouble, you will definitely be hungry when you run around. You can sit for a while, and I will be fine soon."
After saying that, the old woman turned around and went into the kitchen.
Jin Gushun sat in the room and looked around.
After a while, he heard footsteps coming from outside, and then an old man walked in.
When the old man saw Jin Gushun, he showed a surprised expression on his face.
He asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Jin Gushun quickly stood up and said, "Hello, old man, I am a traveler passing by and want to stay here for one night."
After hearing this, the old man also looked at Jin Gushun up and down.
"Yes, you can stay here for one night."
"Thank you, old man. You are so good."
"No need to thank you. It's not easy to go out. You can sit for a while and I'll go and cook for the old lady."
After saying that, the old man turned around and went into the kitchen.
Jin Gushun sat in the room and felt very warm in his heart.
He felt that although the people in this mountain live in poverty, they were very kind and enthusiastic.
He decided to do more good things in the future to help those in need.
The old man frowned and walked into the kitchen without saying a word.
When the old woman saw his appearance, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised and asked, "Old man, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy because I took in that young man?"
The old man shook his head, frowned, and replied with a confused look: "No, I just feel strange. When I first saw that young man, I always felt like I had seen it somewhere."
When the old woman heard this, she fell into deep thought. She tried to recall whether she had seen this young man, but she had no idea.
"Old man, don't think about it. Maybe you remembered it wrong. Let's cook quickly and don't let young people wait for a long time."
The old man nodded, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, but he still started cooking.
After a while, the food was ready. The old woman brought the food to the table and then ordered Jin Gushun to have a meal.
At the same time, Xi Yu sat in the study, holding a teacup in his hand, and remembered the incidents between Xiao Cui and Qian Guoqiang in his heart.
He frowned and thought to himself: "They are staying in the inn adjacent to Youzhou, which is probably a lot of money every day, so it is not a solution to continue like this."
So he made up his mind to send someone to give them some money to solve their urgent needs.
In the inn, Qian Guoqiang was lying on the bed, sighing.
"Why haven't it been solved yet?"
Xiao Cui was walking aside, looking anxious.
She stopped, looked at Qian Guoqiang, and said angrily: "Qian Guoqiang, what's wrong with you? Aren't you going to accompany me? Why are you complaining now?"
Qian Guoqiang sat up and said helplessly: "Xiao Cui, I don't want to do this either. But we have been here for so long and there is no news at all. I think this matter is not easy to deal with, so we should go back soon."
Xiao Cui became even more angry when she heard this. She glared at Qian Guoqiang and said, "How could you do this? You promised to accompany me at the beginning, but now you want to give up? I tell you, I will not give up!"
Qian Guoqiang looked at Xiao Cui's firm eyes and couldn't help but feel a little moved.
He sighed and said, "Xiao Cui, I know you are very determined. But it is not a solution for us to wait blindly like this. Why don't we think of other solutions?"
Just then, a knock sounded outside the door.
Xiao Cui opened the door and saw a servant standing at the door, holding some money in his hand.
The servant said, "This is given to you by the Prime Minister, I hope it can help you."
Xiao Cui took the silver and felt very grateful.
She said, "Thank you, Prime Minister. But we can't."
She was so flattered.
"Since the Prime Minister gives it to you, you can just take it. After all, you spend a lot of money these days."
The servant then turned and left.
Xiao Cui closed the door, returned to the room, handed the currency to Qian Guoqiang, and said, "Qian Guoqiang, look, this was sent by the Prime Minister. He still cares about us very much."
Qian Guoqiang looked at Yinzi and was also moved.
"The Prime Minister is really a good person, we can't give up."
After receiving Xi Yu's subsidy, Qian Guoqiang swept away the previous haze and showed a smile on his face.
His eyes narrowed into a slit, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes stretched out, and he said excitedly: "Haha, with this money, we can hold on for a while more!"
On the other side, Jin Gushun was sitting at the table, feeling uncomfortable having dinner with the old man and the old woman.
Because the old man looked at him carefully with a strange look from time to time.
The gaze was like a searchlight, making Jin Gushun's heart shine.
His brows couldn't help but frowned slightly, his eyes full of confusion.
After a while, the old man seemed to finally remember something, and a trace of undetectable light flashed in his eyes.
But he remained silent and said calmly: "You can live in the room south tonight."
Jin Gushun nodded.
Then, the old man took the old woman's hand and the two quietly came to a hidden room.
The old man's face was full of seriousness, and he lowered his voice and said to the old woman: "Old woman, I remembered that this Jin Gushun is very similar to a person I knew before."
The old woman widened her eyes and asked in surprise: "Really? Who could it be?"
The old man frowned, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
"But you can't let him notice anything first." The old woman nodded, with a solemn expression on her face, as if she was thinking about the deep meaning of this.
The old man took a deep breath and said to the old woman slowly, "Old woman, this person looks very similar to a friend from the same village. You know, my companion has passed away long ago."
A complicated expression appeared on the old man's face, both nostalgic and doubtful.
The old woman's eyes widened slightly and she said in surprise: "Ah? Is there such a coincidence?"
The old man nodded confidently and said with a serious expression: "I am very sure that this person must be related to my companion."
His eyes flashed with the light of inquiry.
The old woman frowned and thought for a while, then said, "What are you going to do?"
"I plan to ask him carefully later and find out the relationship."
The old man sat on the chair, staring at Jin Gushun in front of him with a serious expression.
The old man slowly spoke, "Young man, what's your name? Where do you live?"
Jin Gushun honestly replied: "My name is Jin Gushun, and my family is in the Xianbei tribe in the north."
When the old man heard the word "Xianbei", his eyes suddenly widened, and his face showed an extremely surprised expression. He said in surprise: "Are you a Xianbei?"
Jin Gushun was confused by the old man's reaction, nodded and asked in confusion: "Yes, old man, what's wrong?"
The old man was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you know your life experience?"
Jin Gushun felt even more strange, frowned, and said in wonder: "Old man, why do you ask such a question?" His face was full of confusion and confusion.
An inexplicable doubt surged in Jin Gushun's heart.
He has been strange about his life experience since he was a child.
He also noticed the differences in appearance and personality between himself and his parents.
People around him have also said that he is more like a Central Plains man.
Now, the old man's words once again aroused his curiosity. Does he really have any special background?
A trace of confusion appeared in his eyes, his brows frowned slightly, and he fell into deep thought.
He began to recall every bit of his childhood, and those vague memories gradually emerged in his mind.
When he was very young, he didn't care too much, just thought it was someone else's joke.
But as he grew older, he felt that these words seemed to be groundless.
He also tried to ask his parents about his background, but his parents always avoided talking about it.
I just told him that he was their biological son, and that he would naturally understand other things when he grew up.
Jin Gushun understood that his parents had a difficult time hiding, but this made his curiosity even more intense.
At this moment, facing the old man's inquiry, Jin Gushun's doubts became stronger and stronger.
He looked at the old man, hoping to get some answers from him. The old man seemed to see through his thoughts, smiled slightly, and said, "Young man, your life experience is indeed a bit unusual. I asked this, but I also wanted to help you solve the mystery in your heart."
"Old man, do you know my life experience? Then tell me quickly!"
There was a hint of sadness in the old man's eyes.
He slowly said to Jin Gushun: "Child, you actually look like a companion in my hometown, but he is no longer alive. Back then, his child was lost, and it was stolen by the Xianbei people. I heard that it was because the Xianbei couple could not give birth to children, so they sent someone to steal it."
The old man's voice was low and heavy, as if immersed in painful memories.
He paused, and then said, "I heard you say you are a Xianbei person, which further confirms my guess. I think you may be his lost child."
Jin Gushun felt a thrill in his heart after hearing the old man's words.
He didn't expect that his life experience was so bizarre that he had such an entanglement with the Xianbei people.
An incredible expression appeared on his face, his mouth slightly opened, but he couldn't speak.
On the other side, the sun shone through the window on the floor. Xi Yu sat on the bed, frowned and thought about something.
Suddenly, he thought of something and jumped up from the bed.
Xi Yu said to himself: "Oh, why did I forget this!"
He hurriedly put on his shoes and walked towards Ouyang Linlin's room.
When he arrived at Ouyang Linlin's door, Xi Yu knocked on the door lightly.
After a while, Ouyang Linlin opened the door. She was wearing a loose pajama and her hair was a little messy. She obviously had just gotten up.
Xi Yu asked, "Ouyang Linlin, didn't you say you would leave in a few days? How was it like I asked you to find a woman for your brother?"
Ouyang Linlin yawned and rubbed her eyes.
"Oh, I haven't forgotten. I've been paying attention, but I haven't found a suitable one these days. Don't worry, I will do this as soon as possible. Before I leave, I will do it."
Xi Yu came out of Ouyang Linlin's room and was about to go back to her room, but she saw Xi Zhicai in the yard.
He walked a few steps quickly and came to Xi Zhicai.
Xi Yu smiled and said to Xi Zhicai: "Brother, I just asked Ouyang Linlin. She is helping you find a woman. If there is a suitable one, she will definitely tell you the first time."
After hearing this, Xi Zhicai showed a hint of relief on his face.
"Brother, thank you and your younger brother and sister for caring about me so much. In fact, if you can't hurry up, you will always come if you should."
Xi Zhicai sat on the stone bench in the yard, looked at the sky, and sighed deeply.
Xi Yu walked over, sat next to Xi Zhicai, and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Xi Zhicai looked at Xi Yu and said, "I'm a little depressed when I stay here every day and want to ride a bike outside."
Xi Yu thought for a while and said, "It's OK, but you must find someone to follow and protect."
Xi Zhicai was silent for a while and said, "Okay, then you can arrange it."
Xi Yu said: "I'll let Daniu follow you. He is good at skill and smart, so he can protect your safety."
Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "Okay, then let's listen to you."
Xi Yu said: "Brother, it's good to go out for a walk, relax and adjust your mentality. But you have to pay attention to safety and not go to dangerous places."
Xi Zhicai said, "I understand, don't worry."
Xi Yu said: "Then when are you going to set off?"
Xi Zhicai said, "I want to leave now."
Xi Yu said, "Then I'll call the secret guard Qin Feng and let him prepare."
After a while, a tall and cold-faced man appeared in front of Xi Yu.
He is the secret guard Qin Feng.
Xi Yu said: "Qin Feng, my brother is going out for a walk, you secretly protect his safety."
Qin Feng responded, turned around and walked to Xi Zhicai, and said, "Sir, please."
Xi Zhicai rode his bicycle and said, "I haven't rode for a long time, and I'm a little unfamiliar."
Xi Yu said, "Brother, be careful. Qin Feng, you must protect my brother."
Qin Feng responded again, then followed Xi Zhicai and kept a certain distance.
Xi Zhicai rode his bicycle and slowly left the yard.
He didn't ride fast, and seemed to be enjoying this long-lost freedom.
Qin Feng followed closely behind and observed the situation around him vigilantly.
His eyes were sharp and he did not miss any suspicious details.
On the other side, Jin Gusun's eyes were filled with eagerness and expectation.
He looked at the old man and asked, "Old man, where is my parents' hometown? Where is their grave?"
A trace of hesitation appeared on the old man's face. He looked at the old woman beside him, as if he was thinking about something.
The old woman gently pulled the corner of the old man's clothes and whispered: "It's better to be cautious. Although his face looks very similar to your companion's son, this does not mean that he is that child."
The old man shook his head after hearing the old woman's words.
There was still a hint of firmness in his eyes.
This will not be wrong.
He turned his head and looked at Jin Gusun and said, "Child, your parents are from a very far away, their hometown is in a place you have never heard of. As for their graves..."
The old man's voice was a little low, "They did not leave a grave."
A burst of grief surged in Jin Gushun's heart, his eyes were wet, and tears rolled in his eyes.
He didn't expect that his parents were no longer alive, and even their graves were nowhere to be found.
The old man felt a little sad when he looked at Jin Gushun's sad look.
He gently patted Jin Gushun on the shoulder and said, "Child, although your parents are gone, you still have those of us who care about you."
Jin Gushun wiped his tears and nodded.
He looked at the old man gratefully and said, "Thank you, old man."
Jin Gushun took a deep breath to calm down his emotions.
A hint of relief flashed in the old man's eyes. He looked at Jin Gushun and said slowly: "Child, I can take you to my hometown tomorrow."
Jin Gushun's face showed unconcealed excitement, his body trembled slightly, and there was a hint of eagerness in his voice.
"Really? That's great! Thank you, old man!"
The old man smiled slightly and waved his hand.
"No need to thank you, this is what I should do. But it won't delay your business, right?"
Chapter completed!
