MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 56
Chapter 56
Pei Youfang was still young at that time.
The memory before the age of three is already blurred, but Yingyingchao still has a bit of a misty imprint, which probably means wandering and wandering without a fixed place.
I can't remember who I met, what happened, but the only thing engraved in my bones is that the purse close to the body is a precious thing, it was given to him by his mother, and the words inside were also left to him by his mother: "Name Forgive me, I forgive you."
As for the woman who picked him up from the mass grave, he did remember.
At that time, he had already begun to remember things, knew her surname "Zhang", and asked him to call her "Mother Zhang".
I don’t have much memory of the details. The beginning of the dream is the starting point of his entire childhood memory. Aunt Zhang tidied him up with a pleasant voice and eyes, and brought him new clothes for him to change into.
Then took him to Ren Yazi.
She's going to sell him.
"This is white and clean, but he is a little older and has started to remember things?" Ren Yazi had a mouthful of yellow teeth, and his dark hands fiddled with his face.
Nanny Zhang smiled shyly: "You're only two or three years old, what do you remember? Besides, look at this delicate skin and tender meat, it can't be sold to big families. It's no problem to be a young lady when you grow up, okay. It's a good deal!"
The man looked at him with cloudy eyes and grinned: "Two taels of silver, no more."
"Two taels? I can sell a girl for more than that price! Four taels, don't let me go for someone else!"
The two bargained for a while, and finally agreed on three taels. Seeing that the teeth were about to pay for money, Pei You ran away.
But within two steps, she was caught by Madam Zhang and picked her up: "Little bastard, my mother worked so hard to get you out of the mass grave. Without my mother, you would have died long ago! You don't want to eat, drink and wear these days!" Should you give it back to me? Dare to run away?!"
Pei You struggled violently, and she threw him directly on the ground.
He was smashed until his eyes were black, but he still ran away.
He didn't know what "sell" meant, but judging by the expressions of the two, he knew it was not a good thing, but after running two steps, he was picked up again by a big hand.
"Hey, you are young, but you have a big temper. Follow me back, and I will let you know what fear is!"
Pei You still struggled desperately, shouting "Let me go".
Somehow, at that age, he already knew that crying was useless, and tears could not save him.
His yelling has attracted the attention of many people, but this is the market for human trafficking, so what if people see it?
Nobody answered him.
It was his struggle that caused the purse that had been hidden in his arms to drop.
Nurse Zhang saw the purse rolled twice on the ground, her eyes lit up immediately, she squatted down to pick it up, Mosuo back and forth, and opened the purse again.
Pei You was afraid that she would take away the words inside, so she shouted: "Don't move! Let me go, don't move!"
Nurse Zhang looked at the note inside but smiled: "It's still a famous one."
"Let's go, we won't sell it anymore!" She pushed her teeth and pulled Pei You off.
Nurse Zhang took him home: "You son of a bitch, where do you live, do you remember?"
Pei You shook his head.
"What are your parents' names, do you remember?"
Pei You shook his head.
"Then what do you remember?"
Pei You still shook his head.
Nurse Zhang slapped her face: "Idiot! You might as well sell you!"
On the second day, Nanny Zhang took him to the **** shop: "Do you see clearly? This is embroidered with gold thread. Look at the stitching method. Do you recognize the workmanship?"
Pei You was only as tall as her thigh, and pulled her sleeve hard: "Give it back to me! It's mine! You can't be it!"
Actually, he didn’t need to make trouble, and the pawnshop shopkeeper didn’t accept the purse, but he was less than four years old at the time, full of eyes. It was the only thing his mother gave him, and he couldn’t let others take it.
Nurse Zhang shook him off impatiently, and threw him to the ground again, accidentally throwing the purse out of her hand.
Pei You grabbed her purse and ran away.
Not surprisingly, he was taken back.
"My old lady has provided you with food and drink for so long, and you still want to run away?"
Nurse Zhang locked him in the room and beat him severely.
Has he been beaten before? There is no such thing as Yue Mo, he remembers tossing and wandering, but he doesn't remember punching and kicking.
After that, Nanny Zhang didn't sell him anymore, she found a way to make more money.
Take him to beg.
He is thin, fair and beautiful.
Take him to kneel on the street, cry and tell him that his father and mother are dead, he was too sad and sick at a young age, many passers-by will stop and give a few copper coins.
After a month, it turned out to be more than the money sold for human teeth.
Nurse Zhang will be careful not to hit him in the face when she hits him again. When I was in a good mood, I smiled and said to him: "I begged for all this money because of you! We can find relatives for you only because of the money. Look at your Beijing accent, and you still have such a luxurious purse on your body." , maybe it came from a big family in the capital, when I have saved enough money, I will take you to the capital to find your mother!"
He didn't take it seriously at first.
He felt that his mother should have died long ago, because Madam Zhang said more than once that he was picked up from a mass grave, and that his family members must have died long ago and were thrown into the mass grave together, telling him not to think about running away.
But one day a mother and daughter came in front of the stall where they were begging.
The little girl was about the same size as him, with two lovely buns. The woman beside her had a gentle smile, and her eyes were glued to her.
"Mother, this little brother is so pitiful, let's give him some money."
In fact, they have been begging in this small town for a while, and many people have seen through their tricks. When the mother and daughter squatted down, someone next to them booed.
The woman noticed it, but followed her daughter's instructions and put a few copper plates in the bowl.
"It's too little! It's only enough to buy a few steamed buns! Mother, please give me more!"
Madam rubbed her daughter's head dotingly, and even gave her a tael of silver.
"Mother, I want to give this candied haws to my little brother, can I?"
"Yes. But you have eaten this bunch, shall we buy another one?"
The little girl joyfully followed the woman to sell another bunch of candied haws, and handed it to him: "Little brother, don't be sad, your illness will recover soon."
Going back that day, Nanny Zhang beat him up again, because she wanted his candied haws, but he refused to give them.
"A bunch of broken gourds, can you still think that your mother bought it for you? Get out! Eat my mother's and use my mother's, an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!"
Nurse Zhang drove him out of the house and didn't allow him to enter all night.
He was a little dazed.
It turned out that Nanny Zhang didn't want him, and he didn't know where to go.
Holding the bunch of candied haws that had been dirty in the dispute, he curled up under an old pagoda tree outside the door, looking up at the moon in the sky.
If he wants to pretend to be sick, he has to be thin.
He hasn't had dinner for a long time.
He looked at the candied haws again, tentatively opened his mouth, and took a bite.
It's so sweet.
Tears suddenly fell.
He is not used to crying.
But it turns out that having a mother is such a good thing.
She would look at him lovingly, knowing that it was a scam, but also to make him happy, agreeing to his reasonable and unreasonable requests, and buying him such sweet candied haws.
But where is his mother?
Is she really alive?
