[Sword III] Life skills take you to fly

"My lord, four prisoners were arrested in this event, and four abducted children were rescued. Three of them have been claimed by their family members. According to one of the prisoners, six traffickers transported nine children away yesterday. Beyond the boundaries of Baiyang County."

"Well, let Butou Luo continue to chase for a certain distance, the best you can chase, if you pass Jiangcheng, pass the word up, and don't cross the line. We have already done what we should do." Thinking about my cousin's When the son was found, the biggest trouble was solved, and the consequences of missing children in other ordinary families were not to be feared.

"It's just that the adults still don't know something. The rescued child has no family to claim it. There is no record of his disappearance before. It seems that he is not from our county."

"Well, where did the traffickers catch him?"

"According to Mrs. Yan's account, it's in Qingshi Town."

"Then send it to Qingshi Town and hand it over to the county magistrate over there. We'll wait until someone comes to claim it." The county magistrate wanted to complete one more thing so he didn't take care of it, and pushed it to his superiors and subordinates as much as possible If you don't touch your hands, as long as there are no major incidents, then you can talk about anything.

It was already the afternoon of the second day when Xinglou returned to Qingshi Town, and the yamen servant brother who brought him was still gentle and careful. He told a lot about the general situation of the town along the way, and also comforted his parents that they would find them as soon as possible, so that he could Stay safe in Qingshi Town first.

In the end, when they came back, they were taken away without seeing anyone. I heard that according to the practice here, if a kidnapped child is rescued but the family does not come to claim it, the government will pay some money for willing people to adopt it for a period of time. After the year, the household registration that the family has not come to the door will officially fall into the adoptive family, and the children will also be responsible for supporting the adoptive family after they grow up.

This was a pretty good deal. The adoptive family not only got the money, but also got a labor force for nothing in the future. Even if the biological parents came to the door, they would give some thank you gifts.Therefore, the news came back yesterday that a family willing to adopt has been found today. At this time, an old man is coming to bring Xinglou home.

According to the introduction of the yamen servant brother, this old man is surnamed Lin and lives in Shanglin Village. Two of the three sons in the family are married. The youngest son is still studying in the county government school, and his family background can be regarded as relatively good among ordinary people. So I still want to come.The government gave two stones of rice, equivalent to two taels of silver, enough for an ordinary family to chew for a year, so that Xinglou needn't worry too much.

If the government can't pay so much money for ordinary children, Xinglou thought that the jewelry that his mother-in-law touched would probably be confiscated as stolen goods, so the government was a little more generous here.However, I was quite excited to learn about the ancient price star building. The 96 silver, which can't do anything in the game, is considered a small asset here.

"This is Xinglou, it looks so handsome." Old man Lin looked at Xinglou with a smile. He didn't know that the government would pay so much money before. Seeing how much this kid's family can eat in a year is a surprise.

"Grandpa Lin." Xinglou was waiting for five years to settle down, and it was always right to please the family more.

"Okay, go to grandpa's house for a while, and wait for your parents to pick you up." Old man Lin held Xinglou's hand, and he also drove an ox cart to the town, but this cart is relatively simple, just pulled behind the ox. One board can seat people, and after sending the star building to the car, he turned around and greeted the yamen servant brother, "Would you like to go to the little old man's house for a seat, the official? It's not far away."

"No, I should go back to the county when I send him away. You are so kind to entertain me, maybe when his parents will come here."

"Must be, I was just about to take the child to buy clothes, and looking at this, I felt wind blowing."

Saying goodbye to the yamen servant brother, old man Lin didn't take Xinglou to buy clothes, but went to a rice shop and exchanged the two stones of new rice issued by the government for some copper coins and second rice, and then drove the ox cart back to Shanglin Village.

Xinglou looked around and memorized the way along the way. I tried to find that Jiansan’s map was useless to get here. The way is the forest where I first arrived here. Old man Lin’s home should be among the three villages with the same surname in the third mouth. , predicting that the overall economic conditions should not be good, Xinglou remembers that if he has the opportunity in the future, he can go to the town to find a way to make a living.

It takes about two or three hours by car to start from Qingshi Town to see the traces of the village.Along the way, old man Lin didn't say much, and the other party didn't pay much attention to him after a few words in Xinglou, and he kept smoking dry cigarettes.At the entrance of the village, I saw old man Lin get off the car and go to the side of the road to pick a few weeds, wrap them in oil paper and put them in his arms.

"I'm home, the old lady came out to pick me up." Old man Lin stopped the car in front of a farmyard, yelled a few words into the house, and immediately an old woman came out.

"It's almost here. What's the name of the old man's child?" It seems to be the wife of the old man Lin.The old lady helped Old Man Lin unload the rice noodles from the bullock cart and move them into the house, with quick hands and feet.

"Fang Xinglou. I went to get some food. I was exhausted after a day's driving." Then he introduced to Xinglou, "This is my old lady from the village, also surnamed Lin."

"Grandma Lin is good."

"Hey, he's a handsome kid. Are you hungry? Grandma is going to get you something to eat." Xinglou was brought into the main room and sat down. After a while, Mrs. Lin came in with vegetables and rice. Some green vegetable leaves, and a bowl of gruel.

However, Xinglou had been hungry for a whole day, so he hurriedly ate some buns and steamed buns in the yamen. Although he felt a little aggrieved, he didn't say anything and started eating.Thinking that there will be no one for a while, I will start a little cooking by myself. Fortunately, I still have a game backpack.

Old man Lin followed Mrs. Lin into another room.

"Old man, how much did the yamen pay you this time?" Mrs. Lin couldn't wait to ask as soon as she entered the house. Seeing that there was a lot of rice brought back today, Old Man Lin must have more money in exchange for it.

"I've heard more than before. This time I gave two taels of silver." Old man Lin touched a small ingot of silver and handed a bunch of copper plates to Mrs. Lin.Smoking dry cigarettes, Mrs. Lin prepared another table of meals in the house. Today is not a festival without meat dishes, but it's not that Xinglou eats so badly, it's a bit greasy anyway.

"I'll take a nap after eating, and the second child will come to get the medicine later. Give this to him, and let him take the child away by the way."

"Are you really going to buy medicine?!" Lin looked at the oiled paper bag that old man Lin took out from his arms, and hurriedly snatched it over to check it.

"How can it be. The weeds caught at the entrance of the village, such a dead girl's film, even the elm head of the second child is still regarded as a treasure. I don't know if it is from my Lin family."

"Hey, you're still clever. Let me tell you, you were bitten by a snake, what kind of delicate young lady? It's just that Mrs. Fan tricked the second child to force us to buy medicine." Lin and his second son's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Fan There has always been a lot of trouble, and there are some rumors outside, the second elder is very contemptuous of the only daughter of the second son, and even does not admit that there is a granddaughter in his heart.

"Okay, don't say this in front of the second child. If something happens to Yaomei this time, the two of them will be more peaceful with a child by their side. It is impossible for the second child to divorce his wife. I hope that Mrs. Fan can give birth to a grandson who has the flesh and blood of our Lin family. I will go to fetch a bucket of rice and take it away with the second child. Although he was persuaded by Mrs. Fan to separate from us, we as parents cannot really ignore him .”

"Understood." After counting the copper plates, Lin took out a box from the locked cabinet and placed it carefully.It so happened that the second son also came to the door at this time.

"Father, I heard from the villagers that you are back. Did you bring back Yaomei's medicine?"

Xinglou sat on a small bench, drank a bowl of porridge with green vegetable leaves and was not full. Old man Lin and Mrs. Lin stayed in the back room and hadn't come out yet, and it was not easy for Xinglou to enter.I saw a middle-aged man coming to the door, who was the son of this family.

Upon hearing the words, Mrs. Lin came out, holding a greased paper bag in her hand. "No, the medicine your father brought back. This is the child brought by the county and rescued from the kidnapper. The parents haven't found us to live with us for a few days. Your mother-in-law can't give birth to a son, so Xinglou will bring it to you. Bring your children and grandchildren."

Upon hearing this, Xinglou understood that he was going to push himself out again, but the oiled paper bag clearly contained the weeds old man Lin pulled out at the entrance of the village.But this is not clear about the situation, and Xinglou dare not say more.

"Hey." The man took the medicine bag and described being moved. Although he knew that his parents didn't like Fan and Yaomei, he was very happy to be rescued at this time.Even if the mother ran on Fan's family and couldn't have a son, she didn't care.

"Xinglou, this is your second uncle Lin. You go to play with him for a few days." Xinglou nodded. It is useless and embarrassing to refuse by yourself in this situation.Mrs. Lin thought about it for a while, and there was only one daughter in the second child's family, and she probably didn't have the clothes worn by Xinglou, so she took the old clothes worn by her grandson when she was a child from the eldest house, wrapped them up and asked the second child to take away with a bucket of rice.

Xinglou wondered who Lin Er was going to take the medicine to save, but the oily paper wrapped only some weeds, it might look good after a while, but today it seems that he can't be safe.
