Quick Wear: True and False Life

When Gu Nan and his wife returned to their residence, their men had already tidied the place and were helping Zhuxiang and Lanxiang to cook dinner.

"Changfeng, go and give some food to the child at the back, and send him back after he finishes eating." Wang Jinghao gave the order and took Gu Nan's hand to sit in the yard.

"Yes." Changfeng packed two chicken legs and went out of the yard. He saw the child huddled under a tree and walked over to hand them to him.

I watched him take it silently, take a bite of it eagerly, and stuff it into his mouth ravenously. I quickly squatted down to pat his back, took off the water bag from my waist, and gave him some to drink.

"Eat slowly, don't choke. I'm not trying to snatch it from you."

He finished a chicken leg quickly, not even leaving the bone, and sucked it carefully before rewrapping the remaining one and stuffing it into his arms.

"Thank you," the child said softly, lowering his head.

"Let's go! I'll take you back."

The child obediently led Changfeng's hand and walked for a long way. When they came to a dilapidated temple on the hillside outside the village, the child thanked Changfeng and went in.

Changfeng looked around and thought this place was temporarily safe, at least it could shelter from the wind and rain.

When Changfeng came back, dinner was ready. Everyone was more casual outside and gathered around the fire, eating, drinking and talking about interesting things.

"Changfeng, how is the child?"

"Master, the child lives alone in a dilapidated temple outside the village. There won't be any problems for now."

"Just now, my junior brother asked the village chief and was told that he came from another village. We only know that he was spotted near the village last year and he didn't talk much." Wang Jinghao said as he wiped his wife's hands.

"Chu Chu, drink some hot soup first. I'll feed Bai Qi and Ling Xi." After saying that, he poured a bowl of soup and handed it to Gu Nan, and took over the work in her hands. After a full meal, everyone packed up and went to bed early, after all, they had to leave tomorrow morning.

The next day, Qin Yan got up early, took the two little ones out for some fun, and picked some wild fruits.

After getting ready to set off, Gu Nan and the others discovered that the child from last night was struggling and falling far behind the convoy. They shook Wang Jinghao's finger, asking what to do.

"Changfeng, go and take a look at the situation." Wang Jinghao ordered.

Changfeng rode back on his horse, dismounted after a while, stood in front of the child, looked down at him, and asked, "Why are you following our caravan?"

"I just want to follow that sister." The little boy replied very quietly.

"What's your name? Where are you from?"

"I remember my mother called me Baozi when I was little. One night, I fell asleep and woke up in a strange place. Last year, someone stole my food, and I came here because I was afraid of being beaten."

"What impression do you have of your home?"

"I just remember that the house was very big and there were a lot of people. My mother often called my father "facial paralysis" and "my brother's facial paralysis" behind his back. She was so angry that she couldn't keep warm."

"Then how old are you now?"

"do not know"

"What do you remember?"

"Every time my father passed away, my mother would hold her belly and ask how she could get pregnant and how useless my cousin was."

"Do you remember anyone's name in your family?"

"Grandma called my mother Yaya, and asked her to take my sister around the capital."

Seeing that he had asked almost all the questions, Changfeng carried the child to catch up with the convoy and reported the matter to the young master.

After listening to the information Changfeng brought back, he found out that the child's family was in the capital and that he was abandoned on purpose. He was afraid that the stepmother was in charge of the family. The stepmother, whose maiden name was Yaya, had an affair, and the father had a cold personality and did not like to smile.

"Jingran, take the child with you first and then make plans when you return to Beijing!"

"I'm kindhearted at the beginning, so take it with you!"

"Changfeng arranged him in the carriage at the back and asked Zhuxiang and the others to look after him first."

The convoy was on the road again and finally arrived at the master's uncle's villa before dark. Coincidentally, Master and Uncle were also there. This was the first time that the master and uncle had gathered together since Gu Nan grew up.

Since then, Gu Nan and his friends have spent more than a year in the villa. Gu Nan is obsessed with learning the three fortune-telling techniques, and he spends the whole day either immersed in books or on the road discussing them.

During this period, Wang Jinghao discovered that the child they picked up was very sensitive to medicinal herbs and had a high talent for medicine. After obtaining mutual consent, he accepted him as his disciple.

With disciples, Wang Jinghao seemed to have found the joy of raising children all of a sudden. When Gu Nan was immersed in books and ignored him, he would take his disciples to the mountains to practice martial arts and collect herbs. Bai Qi and Ling Xi hung out in the mountains all day long, and after getting familiar with them, they would often bring back some good local medicines for Gu Nan to fill his space.

"Sister, your mission is completed." System Qi Ling suddenly spoke.

"Have you also completed the one about the palace of a different surname?"

"Yes"

"Qi Ling, I haven't heard your voice for a long time. I feel a little dazed when I hear it suddenly."

"Sister, I feel like I am healing myself as the mission is completed, and I always fall into a deep sleep unconsciously."

“That’s a good thing”

"Thank you, sister"

As the system woke up, Gu Nan put down the book in her hand and went out to look for Wang Jinghao. She wanted to go back to Beijing to look after the original owner, but she could only be relieved if she let go completely.

After discussion, Gu Nan and Wang Jinghao set out for Beijing half a month later.

When Gu Nan and his party arrived in the capital, the fifth prince, who won the battle for imperial power, had already ascended the throne. It was a pity that they could not catch up with this prosperous era! But it was great that their relatives survived.

The capital city was still bustling with activity. Looking at the people coming and going on both sides of the street, the shops and restaurants, Wang Jinghao's apprentice could not keep up with them all. He walked and stopped and soon arrived at the Mansion of Marquis Yongyi.

The Mansion of Marquis Yongyi has not been involved in the vortex of imperial power, so there have been few changes. It is supported by Old Man Wang alone. My father-in-law is mediocre, my second uncle's family was driven out of the house, and my husband has no ambitions here, so he may completely withdraw from the court in the later period.

On the third day after they returned home, they received a visiting card from Zhao Zheng.

When I saw Zhao Zheng again, he had matured a lot. Seeing that he was still alive, I think the original owner should be happy.

"Master Zhao"

"younger sister"

"You know, I'm not."

"But the body is! How can I let it go so easily? So you are also my sister."

"Please feel free to do as you like. What are you here for?" Gu Nan was silent for a long time before speaking.

"I wonder where she went?"

"Lingxi, where will the original owner go after the transaction is completed?"

"Go and reincarnate into any possible life form in the world, but I think it's more likely to be a plant."

"Can't you become a human being?" Gu Nan smiled somewhat sadly.

"She may not want to be reborn as a human again, but if you want to do good for her, you can do good deeds in her name to accumulate merit." Ling Xi had seen a lot, so she turned around and suggested to Gu Nan.

"understood"

Gu Nan communicated in her mind for a while, which was a bad signal to Zhao Zheng. He was so anxious that his eyes turned red. He asked hurriedly: "Sister can't speak, or is the other sister in a bad condition?"

"She will be reincarnated. If you want her best, do more good deeds in her name." Gu Nan looked into his eyes and said softly.

"I know, that's good." Zhao Zheng felt relieved.

"My father and mother also know about this, but they are too embarrassed to come to see you. I think the other sister regretted going home and would not want to recognize her relatives. They said they would not force it and said they were sorry."

After sending Zhao Zheng away, Wang Jinghao comforted Gu Nan and said, "We can also do more meaningful things in the name of the original owner."
