Chapter 4 Restart
Suddenly, a figure hurriedly appeared in the hall, and Dong Bo was determined that he no longer had the same momentum as before.
Like a frightened rabbit, he broke into a sprint in the hall and arrived at the throne in two steps.
He couldn't find his eldest nephew around the throne, then he saw a secret room out of the corner of his eye, and Dong Bo Juejue shouted in a relaxed tone.
"My dear nephew, please come out and meet your uncle!"
He raised his hands and opened the door. The room was dark. His originally stern face turned into an expression of greed, pride, and stupidity, like a greedy fox showing its fangs in the darkness.
He walked around the room, like a mouse looking for food, carefully searching for his eldest nephew. His footsteps sounded like drops of water falling on the water, making a slight dripping sound.
His breathing seemed especially loud, as if the entire room could hear it.
Dong Bo was determined and came to a candle. He suddenly stood there for a long time without moving. Then his eyes became dull and he stared at a painting in front of him. It turned out to be a painting of his father when he was alive.
The colors of the painting have become dim, as if the traces of time have left deep marks on it.
The figure in the painting was a little blurry, but Dong Bo Juejue could still clearly recognize that it was a portrait of his father.
Dong Bo Juejue immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Dad, do you know? I thought the powerful man just now was someone you left behind. Do you know what I was thinking at that time? I was very scared.
Like a frightened rabbit, shaking all over. I thought I was finished, you know? I endured humiliation for ten years, and when I was finally about to win, I thought I was finished, hahaha! I'm back, Dad, I'm back to see you. "
Dong Bo resolutely returned from the secret room in disappointment, and immediately gave orders when he returned to the main hall.
"Search the entire hall upside down. You must find my nephew."
Then he looked at the people below with vicious eyes and said in a cold tone: "Kill all those who disobey." In an instant, the East Emperor City was filled with miserable sounds again.
Dong Bo Shi Lei walked up and said, "Lord, you have cleared them all, except for Dong Bo Jue Ji, who, as you know, was a stubborn person who would rather die than submit! Eight hundred and seven people from their lineage died, plus those who would rather die than submit, a total of one thousand one hundred and twenty-one people died, leaving more than twenty thousand people who surrendered."
Dong Bo Juejue said with disdain: "Now more than 20,000 people have all given me rewards, using both soft and hard tactics. I still don't believe they won't obey me."
Dong Bo Juejue suddenly asked again: "Has my eldest brother's child been found now?"
Tai Long said in awe: "Brother, I have searched the entire East Emperor City, but I still can't find the child."
Dong Bo said resolutely, "Could it be that the old man hid it? Keep looking for it, even if you have to dig deep into the ground, you must find this evildoer. If you don't uproot the grass, it will grow again in the spring breeze."
A little girl's cry came from the crowd below. The sound was like a kite with a broken string, circling in the sky: "Mom, mom, where are you? Ke Ran is scared."
The little girl was wailing loudly in the pile of corpses. Dong Bo Juejue discovered that the little girl had a badge on her waist, which seemed to be the gift given to her fourth aunt by her mother before she died.
At this moment, he remembered the meticulous care that his fourth aunt had taken for his family when they were at their lowest point in Donghuang City.
Whenever I think of this, a gentle figure will stroke Dong Bo’s resolute forehead. Later, when our family fled from Donghuang City, if it were not for Fourth Aunt’s desperate cover, I am afraid we would not have escaped.
Since Fourth Aunt gave this thing to you before she died, I will save your life!
Dong Bojue said to the little girl in a friendly tone: "Don't be afraid, child. Grandpa is here to save you. Come here and I will take you to find your mother."
Just like that, Dong Bo was determined. He took the little girl's hand, walked to the throne in the hall, held the little girl on his lap, and enjoyed the cheers from thousands of people below.
"Long live the Lord! ..."
At the same time, a vague figure appeared in Donghuang City and flew towards the south.
On the shore of a quiet lake, a middle-aged man in a thin white shirt and a woman in a red hat were diligently picking mushrooms and some wild dried goods.
There were faint smiles on their faces, as if they were enjoying this wonderful time.
"Wife, please walk faster. If you don't walk faster, the sun will set." The middle-aged man urged softly.
His eyes fell on the mountains in the distance, as if he was expecting something.
The woman smiled and responded, "Okay, old man, I get it.
Don't worry! We will definitely find enough dry goods to sell to pay the tax, don't worry." Her voice was soft and warm, making people feel extremely comfortable.
At this moment, a clear cry reached their ears. The woman stopped, frowned slightly, turned to the middle-aged man and said, "Listen, old man, do you hear the cry of a child?"
The middle-aged man quickly put his hands to his ears and listened carefully to the noises around him. He frowned, thought for a moment, and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it is indeed the cry of a child."
The woman immediately became nervous and asked anxiously: "What should we do? Could someone have left the child here?"
The middle-aged man comforted her, "Don't worry, old wife, we'll know when we go and take a look." As he said that, he took the woman's hand and walked towards the direction where the crying came from.
The two walked quickly along the lake and finally found the crying child.
I saw a baby abandoned in the lake, wrapped in a tattered piece of clothing. His little face was flushed red and his eyes were full of tears. He looked very pitiful.
The woman hurriedly said to the child in the lake gently: "Baby, don't cry, baby, don't be afraid..."
The middle-aged man looked at the scene in front of him, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart. He sighed and said with emotion: "This world is really complicated. How could anyone have the heart to abandon their own children?"
The woman stared at the child and said firmly, "No matter what, since we met, it is fate. We can't just stand by and watch him die."
In fact, the woman felt more guilty about her dead child and wanted to release this guilt.
The middle-aged man nodded and agreed: "Well, then take him home. Although we are not rich, at least we can give him a warm home."
Their steps became heavy because they knew that they would face more difficulties and challenges in the days ahead.
But they firmly believe that as long as there is love, they can overcome everything.
