Chapter 722 She is Immortal (12)

Tong Luhua was in the car at the time, and Huo Daming went into the house alone.

He saw that the man was dressed in black with a knife beside him, and he was not someone to be trifled with.

Huo Daming was frightened by the big knife and should have retreated immediately according to the omen in his mind.

But his eyes were attracted by the baby who kicked off the swaddling blanket. What attracted him was not the baby itself, but the golden anklet on the baby's ankle.

Golden circle!
The surface of the baby's swaddle is smooth and made of the finest silk, which can only be afforded by wealthy families.

He still has some vision.

That foot ring must be real gold.

He became greedy and immediately went over to try to take the gold ring off the baby's foot, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get it untied.

Huo Daming was afraid that if time went on for too long the man in black would wake up again, so he simply took the baby away.

After returning to the ox cart and talking to Tong Luhua, Tong Luhua also agreed with Huo Daming's approach.

Tong Luhua had just given birth to a child, and she felt some maternal love for the baby. She fed the baby milk and stopped the baby from crying.

The two men's minds were not completely clouded by greed, and they were afraid that the man in black would come looking for them when he woke up and found that the baby was gone.

They thought about killing the man while he was unconscious, but when it came to actually doing it, neither of them dared to do it.

The two men wrapped the dead fourth child in a blanket and carried him back to the house, then quickly drove away in the ox cart.

When she returned to the village, she told the villagers that she had given birth to her fourth child on the way.

The two of them finally took off the gold anklet.

As for the baby…

At that time, the Huo family still lived together as a whole family, and they had already said that the baby was the fourth child. If it was lost or killed, it would arouse suspicion.

Anyway, he will become a strong laborer when he grows up, so just keep him.

The two men thought well and thought they would never see the man in black again. However, two nights later, the man in black broke into their house and put a knife to their necks.

The two were scared to death, but the man in black did not kill them, nor did he take the baby back. Instead, he asked the two to take good care of the baby and said he would come back to take it away after some time.

The two of them were really well-prepared, but a year passed, then two years passed, and the man in black never came to take them away.

Considering the serious injuries of the man in black, he deserved to be dead.

It so happened that someone in the clan wanted to adopt a child and could get ten taels of silver, so the two of them gave this hot potato away.

Fearing the man in black, the two men did not dare to approach Huo Shanniu for a long time.

After Huo Shanniu grew up and his hunter father passed away, the men in black never appeared again. The two men saw that Huo Shanniu had made a lot of money from hunting, so they approached him shamelessly and took advantage of him in the name of Huo Shanniu's biological father and mother.

Later, Huo Shanniu left to become a soldier and lost contact with the two.

Yunhua found this part of Huoshan Niu's life from her memory. Huoshan Niu did not want to be a hunter all his life, so he left Anyuan County and joined the army.

Huo Shanniu knew some martial arts, and could read and write. He performed well in the military camp and was selected to join the garrison troops outside the capital. He was also made a captain. A year later, he was promoted to deputy captain of the ninth rank.

However, Huo Shanniu left the military camp after a few years and returned to Anyuan County, where he worked as a constable in the government office.

Tong Luhua came to the door again.

Huoshan Niu still recognized them and allowed them to gain a lot of benefits.

When they wanted to push their luck further, Huo Shanniu told them that he already knew that he was not their biological son, and that he was giving them a benefit because they did not kill or throw him away, and raised him well until he was two years old. If they stayed well, he would give them gifts every year.

If they wanted too much, he would no longer be polite to them.

Tong Luhua and Huo Daming were frightened and did not come to the house again for more than ten years.

Upon hearing the news that Huo Shan Niu had died, Tong Luhua and Huo Daming started to have evil thoughts again and went to his house. But after a while, they found out that Huo Shan didn't know that Huo Shan Niu was not their biological son, so they started to covet Huo Shan Niu's wealth and Huo Shan's property.

"Pah." Tong Luhua slapped herself in the face and begged, "It's all my fault. Please let my family go for the sake of your father drinking my milk for two years."

Tong Luhua was just pretending to hit herself. The sound was loud, but her wrinkled face didn't even turn red.

No matter what Tong Luhua does, it won't affect Yun Hua. "Stay in jail honestly. If you dare to do something naughty again, I will make sure you can't get out for the rest of your life."

The Huo family should be punished accordingly for the crimes they committed.

If the original owner was physically weak, she would be forcibly abducted by the Huo family and "married" to the Xi family, making the matter a fait accompli.

This is not possible, the Huo family and the Xi family have already said so in their confessions.

But the person they met was Hua, and they failed to succeed.

Seeing that Yunhua had opened the door, Mao Jinlai took Tong Luhua back to the prison. When he came back and saw that Yunhua had not left, he asked, "Xiaoshan, do you still want to see other members of the Huo family?"

"No, I want to ask Uncle Mao if my father left anything for him to pass on to me?" No matter how Hua Hua thought about it, she felt that Huo Shanniu should not have failed to tell Huo Shan the truth about his life experience.

He may not have told Huo Shan in person due to some considerations, but he would not have not told him. Leaving a letter or something like that would be the most likely method.

Since it was not found at home, the Huoshan Niu must have been entrusted to a friend.

Yunhua felt that Mao Jinlai, who could barely read, was the most likely person. In her opinion, Mao Jinlai's kindness to her was genuine, and he really treated her as his niece.

Moreover, Mao Jinlai did not have much contact with Huo Shanniu, so it was not easy for people to guess that the letter was placed here by Mao Jinlai.

"Yes, I do, but...your father said he would give it to you after you've been employed for a month." Mao Jinlai hesitated, then smiled and made a decision, "Since you've guessed it, it's okay to give it to you in advance. Wait, I'll get it for you."

After a while, Mao Jinlai came with a wooden box and gave it to Yinghua.

The wooden box was the size of a book, flat and square, and had no lock. Hua could tell at a glance that it was a box with a mechanism. The original owner had experienced solving this kind of box with a mechanism in her memory.

Yinghua thanked Mao Jinlai and took the wooden box back home.

After a few moves, the wooden box was opened. There was not much inside, just a thick folded letter and a black jade-like object half the size of a palm.

Yinghua read the letter first.

It was written by Huo Shanniu, and it began by talking about his background as a person who was not a member of the Huo family.

It is said that his original surname was Mu, his father was Mu Jun, the censor of the Censorate, and his mother Jiang Baozhuo was of ordinary family and knew Mu Jun when they were in humble circumstances.

Mu Jun was deeply trusted by the emperor and was later sent to Jiangnan as an inspector. On his way back, he was ambushed.

At that time, his mother Jiang Baozhuo was visiting her parents and returned to Beijing with Mu Jun. Jiang Baozhuo was more than seven months pregnant and gave birth prematurely. She gave the baby to a loyal guard and fled with him.

Except for the missing guards and the baby, all of Mu Jun's group died.

That baby was the Huoshan cow.

Huo Shanniu was serving as a deputy captain in the camp outside Beijing when he was recognized by chance.

The one who recognized Huo Shanniu was his biological sister Mu Lan.
