Chapter 60 Candid
Ren Yazi confides everything he knows like peas in a bamboo tube, and only asks the governor to give him a pleasure. He is in such pain that he wants to pass out on the spot, so that he will no longer suffer from this endless torture.

After confirming that there was no other news to be heard from Ren Yazi, Governor Zeng ordered him to be locked up in the cell and ignored his cries for father and mother.

After getting out of the cell, Governor Zeng sent his government servants to divide into two groups. One went to the mountain temple outside the city to find the children imprisoned there, and the other went straight to Tianzi Room No. online.

But these had nothing to do with Xiaoruo and the others, the two of them went to the private school after they left the government office, and they also had to ask Xiaozhao for a day off.

In winter, the warm sun shines on the earth, covering everything with a faint halo. There are street vendors on the side of the road selling a variety of goods, and the whole Qinzhou is filled with lively fireworks.

Xiaoruo didn't care to appreciate this excitement, she twisted the hairband hanging on her chest with her fingers, thinking about Zeng Shishi's familiar words.

"careful!"

She was suddenly pulled into a warm embrace, and a screaming and laughing brat ran past her skirt.

After the little bear ran far away, Xiao Xun made sure that Xiao Ruo had stood firm, and then retreated slightly, releasing Xiao Ruo from his arms.

"Is Ruo Ruo thinking about what happened in the yamen just now?" Xiao Xun has been paying attention to her expression, and can roughly guess why she is absent-minded.

While Xiaoxun was paying attention to her expression, Xiaoruo was secretly observing Xiaoxun at the same time.

There was no sign of evasion on his face, he was open and frank, as if in front of Xiaoruo, he was an open book, which she could flip through.

"Hmm...do you want to talk?" Xiaoruo asked.

She doesn't want to force the puppy, and if the puppy wants to keep his secret, she respects him.

"Ruo Ruo wants to know anything, as long as you ask." Xiao Xun said calmly.

Don't look at him calmly, only Xiaoxun knows that the dog's tail in his heart is about to wag afterimages, and the breath of "ask me! Ask me!" is exuded from all over his body.

He especially likes Xiaoruo to ask him anything, from what to eat for breakfast to how many days it will take to walk the darts, the more detailed the questions, the happier he is.

"Then why do you say you haven't met Governor Zeng?" Xiaoruo asked directly after getting permission.

"Because I really don't remember seeing him."

"Then why didn't I ask more questions at the time? Since Governor Zeng said that you seem to have known each other, maybe he really knows you, or your family?"

"Because I don't trust him."

Xiaoruo was choked up by this answer, she never thought it was because of this.

Xiaoxun took Xiaoruo by the sleeve and led her to continue walking towards the private school. If she had been standing on the side of the street discussing, I'm afraid that after the talk, the master would be out of school, so it's better to talk while walking.

"I had a lot of dreams last night, um... It's not like a dream, but I saw a lot of things."

While talking, Xiaoxun changed sides with Xiaoruo calmly, letting her walk against the wall and walking on the side of the road.

"I saw endless grasslands and deserts, with many galloping horses and armor decorations on them."

"I also saw the same weapon as that man's whip, whipping me in the dream. Those who beat me were all black shadows, I didn't see clearly..."

"There are people who feed me bitter black balls. I feel pain and heat after eating them, but after a while I feel like I'm frozen in an ice cube..."

In Xiaoxun's description, Xiaoruo imagined a scene of a poor little boy being bullied, and when she thought that the little boy was Xiaoxun, her heart throbbed with pain.

"You said that you dreamed of grasslands and deserts. These scenes should be the scenery of the north. Could it be that your home is in the north? You were taken here by human teeth?"

Twisting Liu Yemei, Xiao Ruo fell into thought.If Xiaoxun's family is in the north, then he really can't tell the government.

There is turmoil in the north, and there are many refugees. In order to ensure the labor force and combat effectiveness in the north, young adults who have not been registered will be sent back to their original places if they are found by the government.

The north is so big, Xiaoxun still can't remember where his home is in the north. Once he is repatriated, he will have no fixed place to live and no food to eat.

"Then after the Chinese New Year, I'll go to the government to find out what's the origin of the people this time. I'll see if I can find some clues. Maybe they have something to do with the people who captured you back then." Xiao Ruo said.

It takes time for the official investigation and ruling, and the end of the year is approaching, and it may be years before the case has a result.

Xiaoxun nodded in agreement, he also had a plan in mind, and said, "Brother Jiang later said that there will be a few escorts going north, and I want to go with him when the time comes."

In the past, the escorts mostly escorted them to the south.

One is that the escorts in the south are close to each other, and Xiaoruo told him not to let him travel far, so naturally he would not go against Xiaoruo's wish.

The second is that the south is rich and rich, and the bodyguards are given a lot of money quickly. He only wants to make money quickly to support his family, so he chose this kind of bodyguard road with fast money.

Now that Xiaoruo's concocted medicinal materials are supplied to all major pharmacies and clinics, the family is no longer in such a short supply of money, so he is determined to further explore his own origin.

"Alright, I still say the same thing, you must be careful yourself, the family is waiting for you to come back." Xiaoruo said softly.

The word "family" tickled Xiaoxun's heart, and he couldn't help but put on a faint smile, and replied softly, "Yeah."

While talking, the two had already arrived at the private school, and troubled the doorman to inform the master, Xiao Ruo personally asked the master for leave, only saying that there was something at home, Xiao Zhao could not come to the private school today, and asked the master for permission.

The master has always liked Xiaozhao who is bright and early, so he agreed with a smile, and only asked Xiaoruo to go back and tell Xiaozhao that he should not slack off at home.

After bidding farewell to their wife, the two slowly walked home along the street, and bought a bunch of bright red and attractive candied haws for Xiaoyou Xiaozhao on the way.

When I got home, the courtyard door was closed.

Xiaoxun knocked on the door, and Zheng Dongyang's cautious voice came from inside: "Who!"

Once bitten, twice shy.Now the two elderly people in the family are all soldiers, and the situation is jittery.

"Old Zheng, it's me and Axun."

Squeak, the door was only opened a crack, and after confirming through the crack that it was indeed the two of them, Zheng Dongyang opened the door completely and let the two of them in quickly.

As soon as Xiaoxun stepped into the door with his heels, Zheng Dongyang quickly closed the courtyard door and inserted the bolt firmly.

And old man Cen was far away from the courtyard door when Zheng Dongyang went to open the door, almost sticking to the innermost door, hugging the two cubs tightly in his arms, staring at the direction of the courtyard door vigilantly .

Xiao Ruo was relieved and amused by the high alertness of the two old men. Although there is nothing wrong with being vigilant, it is not good for the two old men's health to keep their nerves tensed.

"Old man, senior Zheng, just now the government has sent people to wipe out Renyazi's gang, and it is estimated that tomorrow we will see the notice that other children will be returned." Xiaoruo comforted the two old men.

"Really? Are those thieves recruited?" Old Cen asked, raising his eyelids.

"Really, I think for a while, there should be no more human teeth in Qinzhou." Xiao Ruo said with a smile, her almond eyes bent into crescents.

Xiao Ruo's smile was contagious, and the two old men finally relaxed a little, and the two cubs who were tightly hugged were also freed.
