She is different from the empress in the history books

If it was him, he could go anywhere, and he had no sense of belonging to Chengjia Village.

But he still has a mother.

Ahu walked heavily back to a dilapidated courtyard in the village.

He sold a lot of prey today, including very expensive tigers, but for some reason, he didn’t make much money. He often went to buy things from the family who sold them. He was very talkative and talked a lot. After chatting with him suddenly for a long time, Ah Hu became confused and forgot what A Niang told him at home and how much he should charge in the end.

When he came back, he knew that he was in trouble, because his mother had almost finished her medicine and had to go to the doctor to prescribe medicine. His mother also wanted to buy land. She originally had enough money from selling the prey, but now it was not enough.

So Ah Hu had a rare moment of cleverness, thinking that if they could find a place to open up wasteland, they could save money on buying land.

"Ahu? Are you back? Why so late?"

"Hey, mother, I'm back. A lady named Cheng Fei who went out of the village, I heard that she was with Princess Chengyang. She came back and said that she would distribute food to the old and young, so I will wait. I only came back when I got the food."

There was a skinny woman lying in an old but clean quilt in the room. The quilt was tightly wrapped, and the quilt was slightly undulating with her breathing, and she couldn't feel it unless she looked carefully.

Her voice is also so small that you can't feel it unless you listen carefully.

But Ah Hu didn't seem to feel that, while putting the grain in the urn, he took off the shoes woven with hemp rope, but he didn't waste time asking and answering with the women in the house.

"Princess Chengyang... who is this Cheng Fei?"

"It's said to be my cousin. Aniang, have you heard of Princess Chengyang?"

"Forget it. It is said that the village and Princess Chengyang's mother are of the same family. Have you forgotten?"

Ah Hu scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Correct."

The woman in the room sighed for a long time, worried that he didn't know everything, but also a little glad that he was such a child.

"Ahu, come on, let me take a look at you. You've been out for a day. My mother hasn't seen you yet."

Ah Hu was holding a candlestick emitting faint yellow candlelight—in fact, it was a bit strange that this thing appeared in their house, because although the candlestick was damaged, its exquisiteness could be seen from the only part left.

But Ah Hu didn't care, he held the candlestick and approached A Niang's bedside.

On the rocks paved with hay layers, the lying woman was supported by her son to sit up a little bit, and then looked at his son's face with the dim light.

She looked carefully, from the square forehead, to the long eyes, to the broad nose, thick lips, and slightly tilted chin. It seemed that what she was looking at was not exactly this child, but as if she was confirming that he How much of your body is the shadow of another person.

After reading it, she lay down again.

"Ahu, did Aniang tell you that the house we lived in on the mountain, a hundred steps down, there were three trees hugging each other, and there was a box under the tree. Do you remember what Aniang told you? When do you want to pick it up?"

Ah Hu was depressed and responded.

"Ahu."

The woman's voice became louder, urging her.

"Remember, after grandma goes, I will go get it."

"Okay, then Auntie wants you to remember one more thing. Take it out and open it. You don't need anything else, but you can't throw it anywhere, and you can't sell it. You can continue to bury it under the tree. Only the box You put a jade pendant and a page of letters in the most personal place. Don’t tell anyone, and don’t let them see it. Then go to Cheng Fei and say that you want to follow her to Chengyang County to find a job. .”

"I'm going to open up wasteland."

"what?"

The woman was interrupted, but she didn't quite understand what her son meant.

"I went to open up wasteland, and she said that Chengyang County can open up wasteland."

"Okay, okay, okay, just say you went to open up wasteland, and when you get there, see if she lives in the princess mansion. If so, then take the letter to her and ask her to give it to Princess Chengyang. If she is willing See you, show her the jade pendant again. Son, do you remember, after Auntie dies..."

"I'll go with Aniang."

Ahu suddenly stood up, went to the main room angrily, and started to make a fire and boil the medicine.

The woman who was left in the back room was stunned for a moment, she couldn't help laughing, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, this silly son, he doesn't know, if she lives, he won't be able to live well for the rest of his life Lived.

The moonlight on a winter night was cold, mottled and mottled down through the leaky roof, hitting the normal wrinkled right face of the woman, who was crying, and hitting her facial features after being scorched by the fire. on the left face.

Cheng Fei didn't take Ah Hu's question to heart. After she returned to her home, she settled down with the group of escorts and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, those people found the corner yard that Cheng Fei had arranged for them.On the back is a large field with nothing left, and no one can hide in it. They also assigned several people to guard the yard, and two people to guard the door. Only three people entered the house and started to fiddle with something.

Cheng Fei passed by and took a look, but didn't go in. After making sure that they were safe, he walked out the door without forgetting to lock the door of the house to prevent the villagers from entering.

All the way Cheng Fei walked in the village, she was always greeted by people, and everyone warmly wanted to invite her in for dinner.

Cheng Fei waved her hands all the way, feeling a little tired, so she just wandered around the side of the village. These places are basically not inhabited, after all, they are closer to the mountains, so they are not safe.

But there are exceptions. Originally, there were a few families of foreigners who fled to settle down. At that time, the good places in the village had been divided up. Naturally, it was not their turn to pick and choose, so they could only live in places near the mountains.

Then, some of these families moved away after restoring communication with their hometowns.Some are still there, but the young people took advantage of the slack to work in the city. After all, they are not as wealthy as the original family in Chengjia Village.

So there were very few people here, and Cheng Fei strolled comfortably.

However, the lack of people does not mean that there is no one. She saw Ahu again.

After meeting several times in a row, even though Cheng Fei is face-blind, she still remembers the other person's appearance.

What's more, he is really tall, and he is wearing animal fur that is rarely seen in the village, which is very suitable for Orion's origin.

"Hey, does your family live here? I heard that your mother is sick, is she better?"

Cheng Fei was just chatting casually, and didn't care where he lived or whether his mother was recovering or not.

But when Ah Hu heard her question, he first turned his head and glanced at the house behind him, then at Cheng Fei, and then at the house again. Cheng Fei could also see that the other party was struggling and had something to say to her.

Cheng Fei thought for a while and asked:

"Is your food not enough? But there are so many people in the village. I can't give you more alone, otherwise you will trade your prey with me?"
