At Xiang Liang's instruction, the governor of Kuaiji County teamed up with several wealthy businessmen to provide disaster relief to the areas around Pangshan where a serious disaster had occurred. At the same time, he reported to the court to request more support. Among the wealthy businessmen participating in the disaster relief was Liu Jinyu.
The Pangshan earthquake and the mudslides caused by the earthquake caused hundreds of deaths in three villages. Dozens of people survived in Zijia Village, and more than ten people in Yangjia Village and Wujia Village combined.
Yang Yi, the only survivor of the three villages in Zhongzheng, Yangyi, led the remaining villagers to bury the tiger at the original location of the Tiger Temple, and then led the villagers away from here, choosing to go far away from Pangshan Mountain.
A new village life was rebuilt.
They know that the loving mountain god will still protect them.
In Pangshan Mountain, the tiger, even though he is dead, still suppresses his spiritual veins with his soul, and will watch over the new village forever.
It's like he has been watching over his friend.
...
Several members of the Xiang family have returned to Xiang's house.
When they returned to the river, the four people's horses were indeed grazing by the river. After finding the horses, the four people went back.
Now, with a little sweat on their foreheads, Xiang Yu and Xiang An looked at the little girl sitting in their seats.
The little girl has not yet come out of her sadness, sitting on the wooden chair in a daze.
"I'm telling you, uncle, do you really want to accept this little girl as your adopted daughter..." Xiang An slapped his face.
"What? You personally rescued this from the ruins. Do you plan to throw it away?" Glancing at Xiang An, Xiang Liang took a sip of tea.
"No, no, how could it be possible..." Xiang An's tone became much weaker when he spoke.
"If uncle wants to, I can adopt him over there." Xiang Yu smiled nonchalantly, "It just so happens that you have no children, uncle. In addition to me and Xiang An, there will be one more person who will fulfill your filial piety."
"That sounds pretty good. Xiang An, you brat, you should learn from your brother." Xiang Liang glared at Xiang An as he spoke.
"It's just that it feels a bit strange...sister...I have an extra sister, brother, do you understand how I feel? Do you understand?" Xiang An danced and gestured, and
I couldn't tell what he meant by his gestures.
"Stop scaring our sister." Xiang Yu pushed Xiang An aside in disgust.
"Me, you?" Xiang An pointed at himself, looking confused.
"Zi Juan, are you feeling better?" Xiang Liang touched the little girl's head and asked with concern.
He really wanted to adopt this little girl, not just on a whim.
For various reasons, in this era of end of chaos and beginning of peace, he did not marry a wife. The last thought of marrying a wife was cut off after the arrival of Xiang Yu and Xiang An.
He regards Xiang Yu and Xiang An as his own children, although these two children are a bit annoying.
But this time Xiang An brought Zi Huai out of the ruins, and after he couldn't find the girl's family among the survivors in Zijia Village, he had the idea of adopting an adopted daughter.
According to his inquiry, the little girl once belonged to a family of five. Her grandfather, Uncle Li Zhengzi from Zijia Village, had died on Pangshan Mountain. Her father and mother were very ordinary father and mother, and they had died in the earthquake.
There was also a twin brother named Zihuaai. Xiang Liang later arranged for people to search for Zihuai in Zijia Village. No body was found, but he must have died.
From happiness and contentment, I suddenly fell to nothing...
Xiang Liang felt heavy. He hugged Zijuan and patted her back gently: "From now on, you will be my daughter. You will never feel sadness and cold again."
After listening to Xiang Liang's words, Zijuan thought of something bad again, her lips trembled slightly, her hands clenched tightly, as if she was about to shed tears again.
"It's okay, it's okay..." After patting Zijuan on the back, Xiang Liang called two maids, "This is my daughter, treat her well. If there is anything wrong, you can ask her questions."
His tone was calm, but the two maids were frightened when they heard it.
The maid took Zi Juan to the room. Although Xiang Liang adopted the daughter, he really didn't know much about how to raise a daughter...
The two brothers sat nearby and watched Xiang Liang busy with this new daughter, feeling a little helpless.
"Hey, brother, let's go find Fourth Uncle and the others." Xiang An pursed his lips and whispered.
"Looking for Fourth Uncle? Okay, let's go."
Taking advantage of Xiang Liang's busy schedule, the two brothers secretly walked out of the main hall, ran out of the courtyard and walked towards the next courtyard.
The fourth uncle they call is actually Xiang Lu. Because of his age, both Xiang Liang and Xiang Bo call him fourth uncle. Xiang Yu and Xiang An also call him fourth uncle instead of cousin.
Knocking on the courtyard door, the person who opened the door was not Xiang Lu, but the tough-headed Xiang Jing.
"Brother Yu, Brother An, you are back." Xiang Jing was playing by himself in the yard.
"Well, where is Fourth Uncle? Aren't you at home?" Xiang Yu touched Xiang Jing's head roughly and asked.
"No, dad went out for something. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back until dark." Dark means dusk.
"That's it... I also want to learn how to ride and hunt from him." Xiang An scratched his head with regret.
"By the way, why did you two get here? Have you finished the homework that the two gentlemen left for you?" Xiang Jing asked with a sneer.
Xiang Yu and Xiang An's bodies instantly stiffened.
"Of course it's done!" Xiang Yu smiled awkwardly and said in a loud voice, "How could it be that it's not finished?"
"Just, that's right, you little brat, don't talk nonsense. If I find out, I'll beat you up." Xiang An threatened with a fierce look on his face.
"Hey! Brother Xiang An, you are scaring people!" Xiang Jing quickly moved away from Xiang An's clutches, "I want to tell the second uncle!"
"Alas! It's wrong, wrong, don't tell your uncle, but don't tell your uncle!" Xiang An pushed him up and covered Xiang Jing's mouth with a distressed look on his face.
After being noisy for a while, both of them became quiet.
Xiang Jing suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiang An: "Brother Xiang An, I heard that my second uncle adopted a daughter. Is it true?"
Xiang An, who was still playing around just now, suddenly solidified his expression and became a little sad.
Nodding, Xiang An said: "Well, uncle did adopt a daughter."
"She is a very beautiful little girl." Xiang Yu also walked to Xiang Jing's side and sat down.
"That child could have lived an ordinary and happy life, but because of the disaster..." Xiang An sighed and raised his head.
"...This kind of thing is inevitable. Human life is so fragile." Xiang Yu patted Xiang An on the shoulder and consoled him.
Although Xiang Jing didn't understand, he was obedient and didn't speak. He just subconsciously touched his blind eye.
"Well, since my uncle has adopted her, she is our sister!" Xiang An jumped up and put his hands on his hips, "Although she has lost her former happiness, from now on, we three brothers will protect her.
Bar!"
Looking down at Xiang Yu and Xiang Jing, Xiang An showed a cheerful smile on his face.
