DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 8 I'm Afraid I'll Lose My Life!
With the pot and rice, Tang Yue cooked a big pot of chicken and wild vegetable porridge. He and Shan ate until their stomachs were round and they didn't want to move anymore.
The beautiful young man finished his breakfast and prepared to leave. Tang Yue really wanted to go with them. It was not boring to have more people. Unfortunately, the other party did not plan to bring them along. They said goodbye and left first.
“Well, since they are nobles, we might meet again in the future.” Tang Yue and Shan packed their things together and moved them to their cart.
When they walked to the cart, their eyes widened. They saw a horse tied to their cart. It had brown fur and a strong body. It was stomping on the grass and flowers around it.
“What's going on? Where did this horse come from?” Tang Yue walked around the horse. He raised his eyebrows and smiled. “It looks like it's cold and warm-hearted. I like it!”
He asked the mountain to change the bull into a horse. With a carriage, their journey would be much faster.
Shan looked at the horse in panic and shook his head. “No, no, young master. If this horse was dropped by that noble person, we would be in trouble if we don't ask.”
Tang Yue looked at him speechlessly. “Do you think that a group of people would forget about the horse by accident? And it was tied to our cart?” He smoothed the horse's neck and greeted the horse affectionately, but the horse spat on his face.
Seeing that Shan was still hesitating, Tang Yue said, “Don't hesitate. Just give the horse back to him when you have the chance.” He could use this excuse to find him. He was too wise!
Shan was used to being cautious. However, he also deeply felt that Tang Yue's words made sense. When he returned to Marquis's Mansion, he would inform the family head about this matter. The family head would definitely settle it.
With horses, their journey was indeed much faster. They went sightseeing all the way and arrived at the imperial city five days later.
Tang Yue jumped off the carriage and looked up at the high city wall. There were two huge words in the middle that looked as charming as light. Even he didn't recognize any of them.
He was so touched that he almost shed tears. No matter what kind of place the Yueyang Marquis's Mansion was, no matter what kind of demons and devils his biological father and stepmother were, he would rather go through it. No matter how hard it was, it was still better than bumpy and bumpy on the bumpy road!
He was about to fall apart!
“Mountain...” Just as he was sighing with emotion, a child half a year old rushed towards them. With a stomp of his feet, he jumped onto the mountain's body, his four limbs tightly clinging onto him.
“Shan, you're finally back. After half a year, I've been waiting here every day for you to return. I've been looking forward to it day and night.” The little boy sobbed as he recounted his longing for her.
Tang Yue felt goosebumps all over his body. If it wasn't for the huge difference in age between the two of them, Tang Yue would have imagined a romantic drama about the union of the heavens and the earth.
Shan patted him on the back and coaxed him. Then, he pulled him off his body and said, “Don't be rude. Quickly come and see young master.”
The boy recovered from his joy and quickly knelt down and kowtowed three times to Tang Yue. His actions were so fast that Tang Yue couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.
“There's no need for such a big bow...” I'm afraid of losing my life!
Tang Yue pulled him up. It seemed like he had to get used to being knelt down by others in the future. Otherwise, not only would he appear unusual, but he would also be treated as a country bumpkin.
The kid glanced at Tang Yue from the corner of his eye. He looked like he wanted to look but didn't dare to. He was skinny and dark. His eyes were sharp.
Old men always liked children. Tang Yue grabbed a handful of candy and gave it to him, then asked his name.
Tang Yue had bought a lot of things along the way. Not only did he buy two sets of new clothes for himself and Shan, but he also prepared gifts for the adults and children whom he had never met at home. He had spent all the money he had earned. contemporary romance
He bought the candy when he passed by the last county town. It was a bit like modern brown sugar, sticky teeth, sweet and greasy. There was a faint fragrance of rice, but it was ridiculously expensive. A small packet was worth two sets of clothes for him. fre(e)webnov(l).com
“Slave. ... Slave...” The little boy stuttered for a long time but was unable to utter a complete sentence. His gaze fell on the candy in his palm and his entire body trembled violently.
Tang Yue did not know that although the treatment of domestic slaves in this era was better than that of the slave society, it was only slightly better. The price was not as expensive as a horse, and they could still be bought and sold as they pleased. Normally, if the master could give them a meal, it would be a good day if they did not kill them as they pleased.
“He called for He.” It was the mountain who helped him get out of the encirclement. Then, he said to Little He with a straight face, “young master is kind. Keep the things that I gave you. Remember to be grateful.”
“Yes!” He nodded fiercely. He picked the biggest candy and stuffed it into Shan's mouth. He picked the smallest one and licked it a few times, then hid it in his arms like it was a treasure.
“So sweet!” The old man and the young man laughed until their eyes almost disappeared.
Tang Yue secretly sighed. When he was middle-aged, his heart was softer than when he was young. He really did not want to see this scene.
However, he also knew that in this era of political upheaval, there were many more children who were more miserable than this brat. He had seen quite a few along the way, but he alone could not change anything.
