Practice Remembering You

three days later

The Zhang family held a grand banquet to entertain the guests.

Many important people came to congratulate.

At the banquet, someone asked about the child's name. Mr. Zhang thought for a moment and said, "My grandson is hard-earned. He is a treasure to our Zhang family. I will name him Yu, Zhang Yu!"

At the center table of the banquet, the younger generations of the five major families gathered together to drink, and the other four major families followed suit to congratulate.

The Mo family and the Zhang family are good friends. Not only Chen Ying and Tian Yu are good friends, but Zhang Jinshi and Mo Feng (Chen Ying's husband) are also good friends.

Under the guidance of Chen Ying and Tian Yu, Zhang Jinshi and Mo Feng chatted and finally arranged the marriage for the two children.

Time flies, six years have passed

The two little guys, Mo Xue and Zhang Yu, are growing up slowly.

Although Mo Xue is a little girl, she is as lively and naughty as a little boy. She usually wears a ponytail, and her hair bounces when she runs, and she seems to have endless energy.

Mo Xue's family is well-off, but she doesn't wear any precious jewelry on her head. It's not that her family doesn't give her any, but she is too naughty. No matter how valuable the jewelry is, she will definitely lose it after playing outside for a day.

At the beginning, Chen Ying got furious with her, which always scared the child to tears, but it was useless. The child got hurt again. Later, she gave in to her daughter and stopped letting her wear anything.

In contrast, Zhang Yu is obviously a boy, but he is usually gentle and shy like a little girl. He always becomes tired and out of breath after playing with Mo Xue for a while.

This situation made Zhang Jinshi and Tian Yu very worried. They thought the child was weak, so they consulted many doctors, but the final results were all the same: there was nothing wrong with the child.

Finally, the doctor also gave some advice. If you think your child is physically weak, you can let him practice martial arts, which can effectively strengthen his physique. And maybe he can discover spirituality while practicing martial arts and become an immortal.

Parents also asked Zhang Yu about this matter, but Zhang Yu had no interest in practicing martial arts. He only liked calligraphy, painting and books.

Zhang Jinshi didn't care. If they didn't want to practice, then they didn't have to practice. Anyway, they didn't rely on their own martial arts to make a living. As for discovering spiritual roots and becoming immortals, this was not very attractive to Zhang Jinshi.

Because in his opinion, people strive to become immortals in order to live a good life, but they are already living a good life now, so it doesn’t matter whether they can become immortals or not. If the children don’t like it, then don’t let them learn. With a wealthy family, they can support the children.

But Tian Yu didn't think so. She felt that having many skills was always good, and it was good for boys to be stronger. It would be best if they could become immortals, but if they couldn't, it would be good to have a stronger body after practicing martial arts. So she always hinted at letting her children practice martial arts.

His gaze returned to the two children.

Zhang Yu always follows Mo Xue around and calls her sister. If someone bullies her, Mo Xue will rush up and knock down the person who bullies Zhang Yu, which makes Zhang Yu admire her very much.

This day is the Hongwu Festival, commemorating the emperor of the Dayan Dynasty - Emperor Yan Qingtian, who fought wars in the south and the north, integrated the five domains and unified the world.

This is a very grand day, with the whole world celebrating together. The streets are bustling with people offering sacrifices to ancestors and gods, selling firecrackers and fireworks, beating gongs and drums, performing dragon and lion dances, singing operas, performing stilt performances, and parading with floats.

The whole city is filled with festive sounds.

Zhang Yu was practicing calligraphy in the study room. Originally, there were servants serving him. However, Zhang Yu liked to be alone when practicing calligraphy, so after the two servants ground the ink and arranged the papers, they were asked to stand outside.

"Brother Yu!"

Zhang Yu had just started writing a few lines when a lively voice sounded by the window.

Zhang Yu looked over there and a smile immediately appeared on her face: "Sister Xue!"

He threw the brush on the table and ran over.

Zhang Yu discovered that Mo Xue was different today than usual. She was wearing a bright outfit and her hair was not tied in a ponytail like usual, but tied up with two or three gorgeous jewel hairpins.

"You look so beautiful today, Sister Xue." Zhang Yu praised directly.

"Hehe, you look pretty~" Mo Xue turned around proudly: "Today is the Hongwu Festival, my mother insisted that I dress up nicely, oh~ let's not talk about this, it's so lively today, why are you still bored here? Come out and play."

As he said that, he grabbed Zhang Yu's wrist and walked out.

"Sister, you have to talk to our parents." Zhang Yu said as she was being pulled away.

"No, no, I always sneak out, otherwise I wouldn't be allowed to go out and play!" Zhang Yu said casually.

The sound of firecrackers outside was endless, and the servants standing outside the house did not hear the voices of Zhang Yu and Mo Xue in the house.

When the two children passed by the yard, the servants thought they were playing inside the mansion and didn't pay much attention to them. Even when they were leaving the mansion, because there were too many people coming and going that day, the gatekeeper didn't notice the two children slipping out.

---A few minutes later, in the study---

One of the servants looked back out of boredom, and after that glance he was completely stunned.

When the other attendant saw his colleague's expression, he turned around with some confusion, and both of them were stunned.

"Master?"

"Where's the Master?"

The two servants shouted at the same time, their heads buzzing with a sound, the young master had lost them!

"I'll go look for him, you go tell the master and the mistress!" After discovering that the young master had lost the servant, the man strode out to look for him.

-----------------------------

In the backyard, Chen Ying and Tian Yu were chatting together, when suddenly Chen Ying felt inexplicably uneasy.

"What's wrong, sister? Are you feeling unwell?" Tian Yu was a little confused.

Chen Ying shook her head and covered her chest: "Sister, why am I suddenly so uneasy? I always feel that something bad is going to happen."

"It's a big festival, what bad things can happen?" Tian Yu supported Chen Ying's back and said, "In my opinion, there are too many firecrackers outside, which caused the shock to my sister. Let's go inside."

"That should be the case..." Chen Ying also felt that nothing would happen, so the two stood up and prepared to go into the house.

As soon as I got up, I saw the attendant who was taking care of Zhang Yu running towards me with an anxious look on his face...

--------------------------

The streets are so busy today that they are almost packed with people.

However, since the two children are still young, it is still very convenient to shuttle back and forth.

"Sister Xue, let's not go too far away from home." Zhang Yu was a little timid.

"Ah~" Mo Xue waved her hand: "I want to take you to a place."

"Where is it?"

"Do you remember what we said about building a secret base that only we two knew about?"

"Oh, I remember." Zhang Yu nodded: "Could it be you, sister?"

"That's right!" Mo Xue put her hands on her hips, looking proud: "The place has been found, it's absolutely secret, no one else can know it."

Zhang Yu also became interested and wanted to see where Mo Xue was talking about, so the two children squeezed into the crowd and walked along.

In the alleys on both sides of the street, four skinny adults were squatting on broken boxes.

The first person has a big spot on his face, the second person is bald, the third person has different-sized eyes, and the fourth person has a tattoo on his neck.

They are ragged and in a dilapidated state, looking almost like beggars, but if you look closely you will find that they are different from beggars. They look like thugs doing illegal activities.

The four of them watched the bustling streets with boredom.

"Hmm?" The man with spots on his face raised his eyebrows.

"What's wrong?" asked the man with the wide and narrow eyes next to them. These people were too idle to take any action. Any movement from the people around them would attract their attention.

"Look at those two kids." The man with spots on his face pointed forward.

The other three looked in the direction of the finger and saw Mo Xue and Zhang Yu playing on the street.

The four of them could tell at a glance that the ornaments on the two children were very valuable.

"The things on these two children must be worth some silver." Tattooed Neck pursed his lips: "But these children are obviously from wealthy families, they must have servants following them."

Spotted Face shook his head: "I've been watching them for a long time, but I didn't see any servants following them. Could they have gotten lost, or maybe some young master or young lady sneaked out?"

"Are you sure?"

The three of them became alert and looked around carefully to make sure that no adults were following them. Suddenly, greed filled four pairs of eyes.

Zhang Yu, who was playing, suddenly felt a chill and got goose bumps all over his body. He stopped and looked around, but didn't notice anything.

"What's wrong, brother Yu?"

"Sister Xue, I feel something is wrong. Let's go back." Zhang Yu said, holding Mo Xue's hand.

"Why are you suddenly not going? Are you not feeling well?" Mo Xue frowned worriedly.

"No, I just feel the atmosphere is weird."

"Oh~ Since you're not feeling unwell, let's go. We've come this far, and we'll be there in a few more steps." As he said that, he took Zhang Yu's hand again and walked forward.

Zhang Yu couldn't persuade Mo Xue and could only follow.

As we turned a few corners in the streets, there were fewer and fewer people.

The four thugs behind them looked pleasantly surprised when they saw the two kids actually took the initiative to walk to where there were fewer people.
