I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

In the dilapidated thatched house behind the Nanjiao Market.

Two masked men untied the sack, and a head emerged from inside.

"Is it this child?" asked the tall and thin man.

"Light the torch, take out the portrait and compare it!" said the short and fat man.

Ah Qi moved his sore arms, and there seemed to be some fire in front of his eyes. He closed his eyes and dared not move.

He strolled around the southern suburbs and was about to go back when suddenly a sack fell from the sky and trapped him.

He struggled and shouted, but was hit hard on the back of his neck. His mind went blank and he lost consciousness.

The two people circled around Aqi twice.

"It looks like it, but it also doesn't look like it?" said the tall and thin man.

"See if he is tall or short?" the short and fat man suggested.

The tall and thin man pulled the sack off him and kicked him in the chest.

Aqi suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up, and stretched out his hand to hit the big man in the crotch.

“Ouch… Ouch…” The big man covered his crotch with his hands and bent over in pain.

The other big man reacted and bent down to pick up the long knife on the ground.

Ah Qi took a step forward and stepped on the dagger. With his other hand, he quickly grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at the man's face.

"Puff, puff, puff..." the man spat out the dirt in his mouth.

"catch him……"

Ah Qi ran outside, and the two big men behind him chased him desperately...

Ah Qi was short and had short legs, so he could never run faster than the big man with long legs. He was running so hard that he was about to die, and the two people behind him were chasing him relentlessly.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from a distance.

Aqi was delighted that someone was coming.

He shouted for help and waved at the men.

Several men on horseback stopped not far away and looked at them, with no intention of saving him.

Seeing that he was about to be grabbed by the collar, Ah Qi thought quickly and fell to the ground with a plop.

The two people behind were not prepared at all, rushed forward and fell to the ground.

Aqi got up, turned around and ran back.

After running for some distance, he took something out of his clothes.

There was a loud bang and something hit the burly man.

He let out a scream in pain.

Aqi fired several times in succession, but none of them hit the vital parts.

The two men got up and tried to chase him again.

Ah Qi grinned and cursed: "What bad luck!"

At this time, the man on horseback shouted, "People from the patrol team of Xishan Guard, stop right there!"

When the two big men heard the shouting, they looked at each other, turned around and ran in another direction.

Ah Qi stared at those people and cursed angrily: "What the hell were you doing patrolling? You almost got me caught!"

The man on the tall horse opposite waved his hand, and the two guards beside him ran towards Aqi.

Aqi quickly picked up the slingshot in his hand and shot a mud ball out with a whoosh.

He Ye tightened the reins and squeezed the horse's belly with his legs. The horse let out a neigh and ran forward with its front hooves.

He Ye steadied himself, reached out to catch the whistling mud ball, and crushed it to pieces.

When I looked at the child again, he was gone.

He rode around in a circle but didn't see a single person.

"Let's go!" He Ye said.

This kind of thing happens frequently. If the person being chased wasn't a child, he wouldn't bother to care.

However, the child is as clever as a rabbit.

He Ye and his companions rode away on horseback.

Aqi crawled out from behind a big rock, spat at them a few times, and ran away.

Aqi felt a chill in his heart. After so many days, the people from Tong Mansion were still chasing him. What had he done wrong?

His mistake was that he shouldn't have gone to Tong's house.

Sooner or later, he would have to chop that old man Tong into pieces.

However, the Tong Mansion was heavily guarded, and not even a fly could get in.

He had secretly visited Rui's house and found that his grandfather and uncle were doing well. He didn't want to cause them any trouble.

He grew up living with his mother, grandfather and uncle in Zisu Lane in South City.

Suddenly a Lord Tong appeared and said he was his father.

Only then did he realize that his mother had a concubine and he was the concubine's child.

His mother said that he was a member of the Tong family and that the Tong family would treat him well, so he followed the mother-in-law back to the Tong Mansion.

Only when he got there did he realize that Minister Tong's house was surrounded by high walls and a large courtyard, with many wives and concubines and a large number of servants.

He lost his freedom, his mistress disliked him, and even the old servants dared to bully him.

He escaped and returned to Rui's home, but his mother had fallen ill and died.

His grandmother and uncle wanted to go to the Tong family to settle accounts, but he persuaded them to stay.

After living there for a few days, he left Rui's house.

He begged all the way to Wei County, where he met Huang Po, who took him in.

Then I went to Ji Xiaobei's house...

I didn't expect that after coming to Anzhou, the Tong family was still looking for me.

He wanted to go to the capital to find Lord Tong and sever the father-son relationship with him in person. He did not covet the Tong family's property, nor did he want to have anything to do with the Tong family.

He just wanted to live freely by himself.

It was just getting light in the morning when he entered the door of Zhengguo Handicraft Shop.

"Hey, Aqi, you're back. Where have you been all night?" Mrs. Lin ran towards Aqi hurriedly, carrying a urine bucket.

"Auntie Lin, please slow down..." Ah Qi said, hiding behind the wall, "I'm lost..."

"You are not allowed to go out by yourself in the future. Anzhou City is so big, where can we find you if we get lost? Your sister Xiaobei was worried all night last night. If you don't come back, we will go out to look for you."

Ah Qi's eyes felt hot and his throat seemed to be blocked by something. He choked and said, "Aunt, I'm fine. Please tell Sister Xiaobei, I'm fine!"

"Hey, look at all the dirt on you. You must have walked all night. Did you meet any bad people? Did you eat? Are you hungry?"

Mrs. Lin put down the urine bucket, turned around and brushed the dirt off Aqi's body.

This time, Aqi did not hide and let Mrs. Lin pat the dirt obediently.

Tears were about to flow out again. He looked up at the sky to stop himself from crying. He sniffed and grinned at the sky...

"Hey kid, why are you grinning like a fool? Go to the kitchen and I'll heat up some food for you..."

Mrs. Lin pushed and shoved him into the kitchen.

Ji Xiaobei walked over from the backyard yawning, wanting to see if Aqi had returned.

Before I even reached the front yard, I heard his and Mrs. Lin's voices.

She squinted her eyes, turned around and went back to the house to take a nap.

The child Aqi has good eyesight, a sweet mouth, is quick-witted and clever, and he often makes Mrs. Lin smile.

Ah Qi was slurping hot porridge in the kitchen.

Mrs. Lin was sweeping the yard with a broom, shouting:

"Shitou, Chazi, Fugui, Tieliang... The Zhang brothers have gotten up. The sun is shining on their butts. Ma Debiao, Ji Deyan and Xiao Juanmao are starving to death. It's time to feed the chickens, ducks and geese in Mingyi Lane..."

Ma Debiao snorted twice, shook his body, swung his tail, and responded to Mrs. Lin helplessly: Hungry... uh..., and narrowed his eyes again.
