Chapter 9 A Chance Encounter in a Broken Temple Click
At this time, Wentianyu was on his way back to the capital. A few days ago, he went to Suzhou and customized a Guqin so that he could play a piece of music in his spare time. Now he was passing through the Daizhou area, leisurely walking alone on the mountain road.
As I was walking, I saw a ten-year-old child not far away, kneeling next to a corpse that was half-eaten by an eagle. He showed no fear at all and wished he was that eagle.
Wen Tianyu felt a little disgusted looking at the corpse, and immediately felt curious about the child, so he walked over and looked at the child. He saw the shabby clothes on the child and a pair of black eyes staring coldly at the half-remaining child.
's corpse.
When the child saw the stranger, he looked at the stranger with vigilant eyes, then turned to stare at the body, ignoring Wentian Yu, which made Wentian Yu even more curious, how could there be a child in this uninhabited place?
Where are the half-game corpses?
Wen Tianyu looked at the child in confusion and asked curiously, "Hey kid, why are you staring at this corpse like this? Is he your relative or enemy, or are you, your parents?"
When the child heard Wentian Yu speak, he didn't even turn his head and said harshly, "My mother is dead. She was killed by this person."
"Oh, that's it. Then he is your enemy. How did he die? You couldn't have killed him at such a young age, right?" Wen Tianyu asked dumbly.
"No, I didn't kill him, but I wanted him to die. He was not worthy of being my father. He drank and gambled all day long. He gambled away all the money and things in the family. He got drunk every day and beat his mother when he came home.
I, in the end, even my mother was killed by him, and he wanted to sell me to others as a slave, so I wanted him to die, and I wanted to avenge my mother. I endured his beatings every day, looking for opportunities in the hope that I could kill him.
"
"Until one day there was no wine at home and he asked me to go out to buy wine. I poisoned the wine while he was not paying attention. When he realized something was wrong, he wanted to kill me. Finally, I ran hard and ran to the mountains. Waiting
When he came after him, he died of poison due to excessive exercise. I pulled his body down to an open place and waited for the eagle in the sky to eat him bit by bit." The child said with anger in his eyes.
.
After Wen Tianyu heard this, his face was full of surprise. Thinking about what happened to this child, he immediately felt sympathy for this child. He suffered such a thing at a young age and lost his parents. Such family accidents are not uncommon in Ming Dynasty. It just so happened that
I met him, and it was considered a good deed to take him back and raise him. This child experienced such things since he was a child, and his personality became cold and cold-blooded, so I wanted to bring him some warmth and give him a home.
After thinking about it, Wen Tianyu asked kindly: "What's your name, kid?"
"My name is Wufeng," the child replied coldly.
"Well, what a great name. Your parents are dead, how about you follow me from now on?"
"Will you teach me martial arts?" The child turned his head and stared at Wentianyu and asked.
Wen Tianyu said curiously: "Then tell me, why do you want to learn martial arts?"
"After learning martial arts, I can protect the people I want to protect, and I will not be bullied by evil people. I want to be strong and don't want to be weak." Xiao Wufeng said with firm eyes.
Next, Wen Tianyu asked some concerned questions about Xiao Wufeng, looked at the body that was almost eaten by a group of eagles, and ignored it.
After that, Wentianyu took Xiao Wufeng and continued on the road. Xiao Wufeng just followed Wentianyu silently along the way. Wentianyu looked back at Xiao Wufeng. Xiao Wufeng, who had experienced the loss of his family, was not as innocent and cute as ordinary children.
, Alas! Let’s enlighten him slowly in the future. Wentianyu shook his head and continued on his way.
Ten days later, Wentianyu and Xiao Wufeng arrived in Daizhou City. During this period, he took Xiao Wufeng with him along the way. Wentianyu was particularly depressed. The roads he walked along were in poor and secluded places, and there were robbers everywhere.
Bandits, he saved three more orphans whose parents were killed, a little boy, and two girls. When he came to the scene, he saw the children holding their parents' bodies in the fire scene and crying.
Wen Tianyu thought that he could open an orphanage. Including Xiao Wufeng, there were four children in total. It was troublesome to take a few children along the way, so he found someone to give them a sum of money so that they could send the children safely first.
Xiaoyao Wangfu, and continue on the road.
Wen Tianyu came to a dilapidated temple and went in to find a clean place to sit down and rest for a while. After a while, he heard someone talking outside.
"I said can you hurry up..." a woman cursed angrily.
"Madam, this is not good. I'd better do more work. I think it's better to forget it!"
When Wentianyu heard someone coming, he got up and hid behind the Buddha statue to observe the situation outside.
I saw only a woman and a middle-aged man. The man was carrying a basket in his hand.
The woman scolded: "How much money do you make in a year from your work? I married you after the matchmaker said you were a scholar. Now that I think about it, I really regret marrying you."
After the woman finished speaking, she reached out and snatched the basket from the man's hand.
"Madam, these are our biological flesh and blood. Why are you so cruel and throw them away right away?" the man said.
"Wow...wow...I heard the baby's cry coming from the basket."
The woman heard the cry and cursed: "Cry, cry, you know how to cry. I wanted to give birth to a son to provide for myself in old age, but who knew that I gave birth to a daughter who would lose money."
The woman ignored the baby girl's cries and stepped into the temple.
Wen Tianyu finally understood some of the situation. Love means throwing away the child. Alas, he is a miserable child again. Why are there so many cruel parents in the world? Is this what parents do? It seems that he will wait until he returns to the palace in the future.
We need to discuss it carefully with the emperor.
At this moment, a petite figure rushed into the temple. Wen Tianyu took a closer look and saw that it was a little girl about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a light yellow dress, with delicate features, red lips, white teeth, and a pair of bright eyes.
His eyes, a head of black and translucent hair, maybe because he was running too fast and huffing, and his fair face looked a little red.
"father"
"mother"
"Don't throw your sister away," the little girl begged, pulling the basket in the woman's hand.
At this time, the woman said with an angry look on her face: "Why are you here? Who asked you to come? Go back and do your work quickly."
"I...I...I secretly overheard my father and mother talking, saying that they wanted to throw away my sister. I waited for my parents to leave and then followed them secretly." The little girl replied.
"Please, mother, don't throw away my sister," the little girl begged the woman with tears in her dark eyes.
"If you don't throw it away, how can I feed her? I can barely eat, and the family still needs money. When my daughter gets older, she has to get married off. If you are not a teenager, you can do some hard work to make money. Otherwise,
I threw you away too." The woman said angrily.
The little girl cried, "Please don't abandon my sister. I will do more hard work in the future and give my share to my sister. I just beg you not to abandon my sister~wu~~~wu~~."
"Dad, please advise Mom." The little girl turned her head to look like a middle-aged man and begged.
"You damn Dongfang Long, how dare you!" The woman glared at the middle-aged man and cursed.
After hearing this, Dongfang Long came over, pulled his daughter, and said to the woman, "Madam...I...let's forget it."
Wentianyu, who was hiding behind, couldn't stand it anymore, so he said from behind the Buddha statue: "You woman, how can there be a mother like you in the world? You are not worthy of being a mother and son at all. And you, Dongfang Long, how can you?"
How could you, someone else's father, come from a scholarly background and do such an unconscionable thing?"
The woman felt a chill in her heart. She looked around and saw that there was no one else in the temple except her husband and daughter. Could it be that there was a ghost in broad daylight?
After Dongfang Long heard this, he felt ashamed in his heart. He had insulted the name of a scholar.
At this time, Wentian Yu came out from behind the Buddha statue and looked at the woman and her husband.
Wen Tianyu said coldly, "Is there any royal law? As a scholar, you should know the laws of the Ming Dynasty. Can any scholar go to the county government every year to collect the silver he deserves?"
Then he added: "According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, human life is the most important thing, and father and son are the most important relatives. Anyone who abandons his children will be sent to the frontier."
The woman looked at her husband and saw him nodding, understanding the Ming rules.
Wentianyu said, "I actually bumped into you. I'm going to go to the government to sue you."
When the woman heard this, she swished and turned pale with fright.
"Who, who said I was going to abandon the baby?"
"Oh...did I hear it wrong or read it wrong?" Wen Tianyu asked jokingly.
The woman was immediately speechless when asked. She looked at her husband and then at the baby girl in the blue.
"Why don't you go away and wait for me to report you to the official? If you let me know in the future that you are not good to your children, I will come to you at any time. Do you hear me?"
When the woman heard what Tianyu said, she felt relieved. She gave the basket to her daughter and shouted, "I went home with my mother, but she didn't dare to stay even one step and left the temple in a hurry."
The little girl followed her father for a few steps, then ran back and said to Wentianyu, "Thank you, Uncle Immortal."
