It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

It is easy to buy people, but it is not so easy to buy someone who is suitable and pleasing to your heart.

Feng Gu didn't come back until dinner time, and she brought a dirty kid about ten years old. "Xiaotian, take this kid to wash him, rub him well, and put on your clothes first."

"Yes, Master." Thinking about how he was in the same embarrassing situation at the beginning, Xiaotian agreed readily.

"Auntie, come here and have a drink of water first." Weng Xiaoxiao handed over a cup of tea.

Fenggu didn't hesitate to take it and started drinking.

"Where have you been? The human traffickers don't care about tea?" Weng Xiaoxiao teased with a smile.

Feng Gu rolled her eyes at Weng Xiaoxiao and said, "Since I didn't find someone I was satisfied with, I stayed and asked to leave first. I handed over the store to his colleagues. Since it was still early, I went to the City God Temple. I was worried about the general's injury and offered him a long-burning lamp."

"Aunt Feng is so thoughtful." Weng Xiaoxiao swallowed the rest of the words. The general would not hold on for much longer. Life and death were determined by fate.

"Where did that child come from? How come he is so dirty! He couldn't have been bought."

"I ran into him stealing someone's wallet when I came out of the temple, so I meddled in his business. I didn't expect the kid to be so ruthless, and he followed me all the way. After I found him, I beat him up and made him behave himself. But he kept clinging to me and insisted on becoming my disciple. No matter how I chased him away, he refused to leave, so I brought him back."

Weng Xiaoxiao frowned, "Aunt, this kind of child is not easy to teach. You have to spend more time on it."

Feng Gu nodded. She was also an orphan. If she had not met the Yang family army and him, she didn’t know where she would have ended up. So when she saw the poor children, she wanted to lend a hand.

"Boss, I've changed the water twice, but Xiaotian says it's still not good enough." Chunxia ran in with a smile.

"Burn his rags directly and don't bring lice in." Weng Xiaoxiao reminded hurriedly.

"Well, my godmother is already burning in the brazier."

"Godmother? Who?"

"Master, it's Aunt Zhang from the kitchen who adopted me as her goddaughter." Chunxia went over and hugged Fenggu's arm.

"This is a happy thing. It's good to have more people love you."

Chunxia is lively and wants to be liked by others, while Qiuyue is calm and steady, so Weng Xiaoxiao relies on her more.

"She just told me about it today. Aunt Zhang is going to the farm, so I ordered a table of wine and food tonight and held a recognition ceremony. I'm waiting for you to come back."

Feng Gu smiled and nodded. She liked the hustle and bustle. "I'll go back to my room to change clothes and come back later."

When everyone was seated in the main room, Xiao Tiancai led in a handsome boy.

"Hey, you are so handsome, come here and meet our boss first."

Li Hong looked around and came to the main seat where Weng Xiaoxiao sat. He knelt down and kowtowed, "I am Li Hong, and I pay my respects to you, sir."

Weng Xiaoxiao looked at Fenggu in surprise, and unexpectedly, Fenggu also looked over at her.

Their eyes met, their minds connected, and they soon separated.

Weng Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Get up. It's fate that you can come to our house. Aunt Feng is the housekeeper of the mansion, Aunt Zhang is in charge of the kitchen, and the younger ones are Chunxia, ​​Qiuyue, Xiaotian, and Xiaokong. Today's feast is to celebrate Aunt Zhang taking Chunxia as her goddaughter. You can sit down too."

Li Hong thanked her and congratulated Aunt Zhang, then sat down next to Xiaotian with confidence.

Weng Xiaoxiao restrained her expression, raised her glass and said a few words, then gave the red envelope to Aunt Zhang and congratulated her again. Aunt Feng also gave a red envelope, which was a token of her appreciation.

After eating for more than half an hour, everyone dispersed.

"Li Hong, come with me."

Knowing that he was going to question her, Fenggu followed him, while the others pretended not to have heard anything and went about their own business.

Weng Xiaoxiao sat at the top and Feng Gu sat next to her.

"Li Hong, tell me about your origins. How did you end up like this? What's your real name?"

Li Hong looked at Weng Xiaoxiao in surprise. He didn't expect that he would be exposed so quickly. "Sir, what did I do wrong?"

"Things that are engraved in your bones cannot be changed in a short period of time. If you don't tell me your origins clearly, I really wouldn't dare to take you in." Weng Xiaoxiao said with a serious face.

He has proper manners and speaks in a graceful and elegant manner. This is not a child that can be raised by an ordinary poor family.

Li Hong bit his lip and looked at Weng Xiaoxiao and the others again. He had had enough of the days of fear and anxiety, and he wanted to settle down. "Sir, I'm not a bad person. This aunt is a good person and has good kung fu, so I rely on her. I have no home, no relatives, and nowhere to go."

If you can't say it clearly, then there will be a real problem.

"Li Hong, we are just an ordinary family. It's not difficult to support one person, but we can't afford to cause trouble. If you can't explain clearly, or if you have something to hide, I can only send you to the temple. I won't leave you to die, but I can't keep you with us."

Feng Gu nodded. The girl had already had a hard time. This family couldn't stand the storm. She should be more careful in the future. It's okay to give people some money, but she can't take people back casually.

Li Hong raised his head, his expression firm, "Since that's the case, don't ask any more questions, just give me a place to stay. I will repay you for your kindness in the future."

Before Weng Xiaoxiao could say anything, Feng Gu took over the conversation first, "I have donated a lot of money to the City God Temple. It should be no problem for Li Hong to become a registered monk."

Since they had a place to go, Weng Xiaoxiao said no more and took out some change from her pocket and gave it to Li Hong, "Just consider it as a good deed I did every day. You don't need to repay me. Life is not easy, so live well."

Li Hong took the money and kowtowed to Weng Xiaoxiao.

Although Fenggu felt reluctant, she had no choice but to do so and personally took Li Hong to the guest room to settle him down.

......

"This child?"

Weng Xiaoxiao shook her head. When a rich family falls into trouble, it is either due to revenge killing or because they are dismissed from their official position and their property is confiscated. Other situations are not so difficult to talk about, but no matter which one it is, she is powerless to do anything.

"Auntie Feng, don't go to the City God Temple tomorrow. Go to a small temple farther away. Deliver something when you have time. Just don't get bullied."

With no background and no one to rely on, it was only natural that she should be cautious. Feng Gu did not question Weng Xiaoxiao's decision and readily agreed to it.

The next morning, before everyone got up, Feng Gu quietly left with Li Hong and went directly to an unknown temple on the edge of Yangzhou City.

He donated 20 taels of money to the temple, saying that the child had a bad fate, which led to all the troubles in his family, and that he had to stay in the temple temporarily. The abbot did not ask any more questions and readily accepted Li Hong, gave him a Dharma name on the spot, and recorded him as a lay disciple.

"It's not easy for any of us. Don't blame us." Feng Gu didn't dare to look at the child's pitiful eyes and looked into the distance.

Li Hong shook his head. "Aunt, I stole things to make a living. I chased you because I wanted to learn Kung Fu. I am not a bad boy. I will remember the kindness you and the young master have shown me."
