Chapter 49 It's time to shine the sword (add more)
Gouzi Daddy withdrew his hand, "Okay, don't embarrass yourself here."
Anyway, he didn't have the face to ask Ye Anlan for money.
He lost his unwanted child. Because of his cruelty and the rejection of the villagers, the child whose eyes were dead and thinned day by day, now has light in his eyes again.
Although his body is still as thin as ever, Dad Gouzi can clearly see the spirit of his body that makes people know that he has great hope for life.
He ignored Gouzi’s stepmother’s crying and cursing, left the crowd alone, and went back to the village.
The expression on Gouzi's face was very complicated. He looked as if he wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. He knelt down suddenly, and kowtowed three times in the direction his father left.
Ye Anlan sighed, stopped the crazy woman who was about to come over and beat the dog, "Okay, stop making trouble, and I won't give you money if you make trouble again."
Gouzi’s stepmother fell backwards in anger, “Why do you? What do you do?”
"Just because the dog is not my servant." Ye Anlan pushed her away, "He is free, equal to us, our companion, and he left with us voluntarily."
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! It must be that unfilial bastard, broom star"
She originally wanted to say that Gouzi must have hidden the money by himself, but as soon as the foul language came out, Ye Anlan raised his hand and slapped her neatly.
"Believe it or not, what does it have to do with me?" Ye Anlan's face turned cold, and she went straight to Gouzi's stepmother with a murderous look, "Don't be shameless! Otherwise, I don't mind letting your man die today, and let your own children have a taste of it." The feeling of falling into the hands of stepmother."
The woman shuddered, and the Wangjiatun villagers who were watching looked shocked—could this half-grown kid who was smiling in a friendly way before be so fierce?
Wangjiatun Lizheng and patriarch frowned slightly, "Miss Ye."
Ye Anlan spread her hands, "Wang Lizheng."
Wang Lizheng frowned and glanced at Gouzi, who was already frightened, "Miss Ye, the parents of everyone in the world, Gouzi is still a child of Wang's family after all."
Ye Anlan was not very happy, but she didn't want to conflict with the villagers of Wangjiatun because of such a trivial matter, she said to Wang Lizheng, "What does Lizheng mean?"
Wang Lizheng looked at Gouzi again, "I'm afraid he will never come back after leaving, right? Then he should at least leave a pension for his parents."
Ye Anlan laughed angrily, crossed her arms around her chest, "Oh, then you can search him now, no matter the money, as long as it is worth something, you can keep whatever you find."
Wang Lizheng blushed.
Does he not know what the situation of Gouzi is? What valuable things can a dog have on him? Didn't you see that even the quilted clothes were bought by Ye Anlan after they came?
He looked at the mule cart without a trace in his eyes, but there was a bang in his ear.
Wang Lizheng turned his head subconsciously, and saw Ye Anlan retract his foot lightly, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I forgot to hold back some strength, did I scare you?"
Wang Lizheng's face darkened, but before he could speak, Yang Xiaotao, who was next to him, had already ran to a further place, grabbed a stone of about the same size with both hands, and then ran away holding the stone back.
She put the stone on the pile of rubble, "Come on, girl, I'll kick this one for you too."
Everyone in Wangjiatun:! !
At the door of their house, they were blatantly threatened by two half-grown yellow-haired girls!
Ye Anlan didn't care whether their faces were good or bad, she only knew that it was time for her to shine.
She smiled and looked at Wang Lizheng, "You seem to have a different opinion?"
Does Wang Lizheng dare to say that he has?
Didn’t you see that silly boy named Fengshou already picked up his long knife with an excited face, and ran to the end of the line with that named Ye Song to face him and stare at him?
And the only adult man in this team, even the arrow has been drawn out and put on the bowstring. This is the rhythm of wanting to go to war directly!
Oops, there are a few women who are honest and docile at first, why are you rolling up your sleeves? What is that strapped to your arms?
"If you don't speak, I'll take it as if you have no objection." Ye Anlan waved at Gouzi, "Come here, let Wang Lizheng search for any valuables on you."
"No need." Wang Lizheng's old face turned red and then turned green, obviously annoyed by Ye Anlan, he waved his hands at Gouzi with a look of disgust, "If you want to leave, hurry up, and don't come back when you leave !"
Gouzi froze, Ye Anlan laughed back angrily, she said to Gouzi, "Don't worry, one day, they will beg you to come back."
Let alone Wang Lizheng and the others, even Gouzi himself doesn’t believe it. His lackluster past life experience limited his imagination for his future.
The villagers were sent back to the village by Wang Lizheng. Ye Anlan and the others also led the mule cart and began to descend along the mountain road.
After walking a few steps, Ye Anlan said to Gouzi, who hadn't adjusted his emotions yet, "Let me give you a new name."
Gouzi looked up blankly, "Huh?"
Ye Anlan asked him, "Do you still want to continue with the surname Wang?"
Gouzi hesitated for a moment, "Yes."
He thought of his deceased grandma, mother, and the last bit of awkward care from his biological father. Although this warmth, the former is what he has lost, and the latter is what he felt after many years of delay, but Gouzi still doesn't want to give up.
Ye Anlan nodded, "Then you will be called Wang Tai from now on. Tai means stability, peace, understanding and affluence. I hope you can come to Taitai in the future, and you will be happy from now on."
Well, although the words are beautiful, she mainly doesn't want to call this poor child "gouzi" anymore.
Can you imagine the sour feeling of calling someone by his name, and then uncontrollably flashing all kinds of dogs in your mind?
Anyway, Ye Anlan never wanted to experience that strange feeling again.
She said to Wang Tai: "Wait a while, I'll let Erlang teach you how to write that Thai character."
Wang Tai was in a better mood, but soon his face turned red, and he stammered to Ye Anlan, "I don't even know how to write, Wang Tai."
Ye Anlan: OK. "Then let Erlang teach you to write 'Wang' as well."
Anyway, teaching one is also teaching, teaching two is also teaching, there is no big difference, especially the word Wang is so simple.
After comforting the poor child, and handing him over to Zheng Fengshou to take care of him, Ye Anlan quickened his pace and continued to explore the way forward.
Their next destination is Yuyang County under the jurisdiction of Jizhou.
According to the news that Ye Anlan got around Tianman Village these days, Yuyang County was just ransacked by rebels seven or eight days ago, so it is relatively safe at this time.
Ye Anlan decided to go here, firstly because if they didn't pass through the city but took a detour, they would have to walk for about half a month longer, and secondly because Pei Huaixiu wanted to go to Yuyang County to find his brother.
