General, your son is in my hands

My name is Adelaide and I'm a dude.

I grew up living in Ruby.Before I came to Huiguo, I always thought that working all day and eating black bread twice a day was a good life, until the terrible plague happened.

I don't know how many people died, I only saw that there were no people in the huge manor.Eminem disappeared when I was very young, and I grew up with my father. My father said that we were servants of the Kant family. We were born in this land, worked in this land, and died in this land.

Daddy has been bedridden for a few days. If it was a normal day, the master in that big castle would definitely come to urge him at this time. However, with the outbreak of the plague, Daddy can finally work without being hungry.

On this day, when I came home from work as usual, my dad stopped me.

"Ade..."

I walked to the thatched bed and held my father's hand, "Daddy, Ade dug a lot of sweet potatoes today, and I'll cook them for you."

I was actually very sad in my heart. I knew that my father was sick, but we had no money.

Looking at me with gray and lifeless eyes, "Ade, Dad can't take care of you anymore, you go, go to the East."

East?The merchants seem to come from the east, and their clothes are very precious at first glance, I have only seen them from a distance.

"Ade is going with Daddy."

"It can't be done, Dad is old and can't walk anymore, does Ade blame Dad?"

Daddy stroked my hair, looked at me intently with gray eyes, his nose was sore, I held back my tears, "Ade wants to be with Daddy."

Dad left, I think he might be happy, because when Dad left, he smiled and called Eminem's name.

I think the lord in the castle may be sick too, and no knight in armor has come out of that gate for many days.

I quietly buried my father next to Eminem, and then started to pack my luggage. In fact, I have nothing to take away. Apart from two patched clothes and a basket of sweet potatoes, our family has no other property, oh, forgot, I still have a dozen or so silver coins that my father left me when he left.

The first time I came to the pier alone, I boarded the boat with the flow of people, which cost me ten silver coins, and the person who collected the money said that he would take me to the East.

It was dark all around, and the air was bad, and the only thing that could be heard was the noise of the cabin, except for the sound of water waves beating against the hull.

I have been in the dark cabin for 23 days. In order to prevent passengers like me from peeing in the cabin and so on, we have two opportunities to go to the deck to breathe. In fact, it is only a few minutes, but I will remember each time. down times.

Finally, on the day of No.30, we were kicked off the boat, and I carefully walked in a strange place with only half a basket of sweet potatoes left. Fortunately, I learned a few words from others when I was on the boat.

I still have a few silver coins in my bosom, I don’t know what I can buy with these, this place is simply heaven, the people here are all black-eyed and black-haired, and the clothes on their bodies are also very beautiful, I think maybe Dad is right.

I learned that this place is called Liaoyuan, and it belongs to a country called Hui.I have also learned a lot of Hui Guo dialect, but I still haven't found a decent job. I live in a dilapidated house and go to the dock every day to find some work. If I can't find it, I take the sweet potatoes I brought. I went to the market to sell it, but the people here didn't like it.

I still remember that it was a sunny day, because there was no one willing to hire me at the Lili Wharf. Although the sweet potatoes were not easy to sell, I still took some to the market.Then I met the most grateful person in my life, my master.

He bought all my sweet potatoes and wanted me to work on his land, promising to pay me.This is simply the luckiest thing that happened to me in my life, but I didn't agree at that time, because my father told me that people outside are very cunning.

The master was not angry, and gave me the address so that I could go to him if I wanted to, and this time I agreed.

After they left, some beggars who occupied the next house came over, and they robbed me of my copper coins. I am such a useless person.

With apprehension and hunger, I found the old man's house yesterday. Fortunately, I was left behind.

And then I met him.

At first our meeting was not wonderful, he was a clean man, but I stained his pure white clothes.He was very angry, I was ready to be scolded, but he walked away.I just thought, what a weird guy he is.

I never thought that I could have any intersection with him, but fate is always so naughty.

When we met again, we were already in the capital, and there was a joke at that time.I never knew that the friends around me regarded me as a grandfather, until one day the hair in front of me grew, and I imitated the people around me to comb my hair up.

This time everyone was taken aback, and I was not allowed to do heavy work, and even the master gave orders.

Later, he came to the villa to check the growth of the sweet potatoes. I carefully avoided him, but inevitably ran into him.I knew from his shocked eyes that he was also frightened, but soon he got his expression together and began to pick and choose me.

In the eyes of others, he will feel that he doesn't like me, but I am happy in my heart.He didn't change the way he treats me like other people, maybe he disdains it, after all the identities are different, but I'm still secretly happy.

Then he often came to the villa, and gradually we became familiar with each other, and gradually I put him in my heart.

I never dared to tell others about it, nor did I dare to express any related emotions in front of him. I just watched him like this, and seeing him happy made me happy.

Unconsciously, I have been staying in this Zhuangzi for three years, and I feel homesick.

Although there is no one at home, I still want to go to the graves of my father and Eminem to see if they miss me.

I have saved a lot of money, and my master arranges the food and clothing on weekdays. I don’t need to spend more money, so I save all my monthly wages, and now it is a considerable sum.

I was planning to ask my master for leave so that I could go home and see Daddy and Eminem, but why did I choose that day.

The concierge led me in and stopped outside. The guide told me that the host was receiving guests and asked me to wait, and carefully prepared tea for me.

Then naturally I heard Momo chatting.

"I heard that Young Master Gu is engaged, it seems that the capital is going to be lively again."

"That's not true, Young Master Gu is old enough to start a family and start a career.

……

I just felt a pain in my chest. It was logical for him to get married, but I didn't expect to know it when I was so caught off guard.Afterwards, I was in a daze about how to meet the master and how to ask for leave, and it was only when I returned to Zhuangzi that I came back to my senses.

It's not your own, no matter how much you think about it, you're just asking for trouble.

Bracing myself, I packed my luggage overnight and brought the saved money. This time I will buy a piece of land for my father and mother to build a grave for me when I go back.

Boarded the ship, looked back at the land that brought me happiness, turned around and entered the room, this time it was not a dark cabin.But I didn't expect that this farewell would be a farewell forever.

I was awakened from my sleep, the boat was rocking abnormally, people screamed outside the room, I put on my clothes and left the room, grabbing the panicked passers-by.

"What happened?"

Obviously he was terribly frightened, his whole body was trembling, "Touch... hit... hit a rock..."

Immediately, my eyes went dark, I braced myself and went back to the room, unable to run away, it would be better to die decently.

It was very cold, the boat was flooded, and there were still chaotic screams for help outside.

It was very cold and there was water in the room. I knew that Daddy and Eminem were coming to pick me up.

Very cold, Ziyu, this is the first time I call you that in my heart.

It's cold, I love you.

Gu Ziyu who heard the news fell to his knees on the ground, his whole body was blank, you know, I love you too.
