I maintain law and order in the feudal world

Chapter 89

Gong Hanwu and Sun Si waited at the pier for three full hours. Seeing that the time was approaching noon, the boatmen at the pier all called for dinner. : "Excuse me, has the boatman named Tong Shiqi arrived at the dock yet?"

"Tong Shiqi?" A boatman who had just walked to the office to call for dinner asked in surprise.

Gong Hanwu turned to look at him: "Yes, Tong Shiqi, seven days ago he met a lost little boy at the pier, and I am the father of that child."

The boatman said: "It seems that there is such a thing. I remember that when I went to Shiqi's house a few days ago, I saw a well-behaved boy called Uncle Shiqi."

He looked at Gong Hanwu again and said, "But what are you doing here with Shiqi? They were transferred to Banlai three days ago. If you want to find someone, you should go to Banlai."

Gong Hanwu and Sun Si looked surprised, and the boatman in the office said, "What, Tong Shiqi went to Banlai? Why didn't I know?"

"It's just you, what do you know about drinking?" After finishing speaking, the boatman said to Gong Hanwu, "Penglu is not far from Banlai. If you ride horses faster, it will take less than a day to get there. They just arrived in Banlai. The place to live should be the dormitory arranged by our wharf, about Baihua Street in Dongcheng District, I don’t know the exact number, but the dormitory is not small, you can ask and find out.”

He turned his head and said to the boatman in the office: "Let's go, we have dinner, and we have to deliver goods in the afternoon!"

After the boatman in the office apologized to Gong Hanwu and Sun Si in embarrassment, the two boatmen closed the door of the office and left. Sun Si looked at Gong Hanwu, sighed and said, "This is going around."

Gong Hanwu: "Brother Sun, let's go back to Banlai."

Sun Si: "Let's go, I'll be right back!"

……

On Baihua Street, Dongcheng District, Banlai, Tong Shiqi returned to the dormitory with a big bowl of things. Before he reached the dormitory, he shouted loudly: "Dabao, Xiaobao, Xiaoba, daughter-in-law, look what I brought back for you!"

Following his words, the wooden door in front of him was knocked open, and Tong Yi rushed towards him like a small cannonball, shouting: "Dad, Dad!"

Tong Shiqi quickly turned to avoid it, his wife's voice sounded: "Yi Yi, Dad is holding something in his hand, don't bump into your dad!"

Tong Yiyi barely stopped the car, turned to the shy little boy at the door and said, "Little Ba, I can smell it, today is barbecue!"

Xiaoba's eyes widened in surprise, revealing a few petals of millet teeth, and said in surprise, "Sister Yiyi, we can eat barbecue again!"

"Yes yes yes!" Tong Shiqi smiled happily, "Come on, let's go inside and have barbecue together!"

Two adults and three children sat around the table, and in front of them was a large pot of delicious barbecue and soft, golden pancakes. Tong Shiqi wrapped one pancake and handed it to Tong Yiyi, and wrapped another one for the little one. Eighth, the third one is for his wife, and the last one is for himself. After wrapping the one in his hand, Tong Yiyi shouted: "Start!"

The two big two looked at each other, smiled and began to eat.

Tong Yiyi ate the fastest. After eating, she planned to wrap one for herself. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Xiao Ba sitting next to her, then turned her head and pointed at Xiao Ba with a smile: "Mom and Dad, look, Xiao Ba is eating Like a little mouse!"

The two grown-ups looked over and saw that it wasn't true. The little child was sitting on the stool obediently, holding a big pancake covered with barbecue meat in both hands, and eating it in small bites. The sauce around the mouth was covered with barbecue meat. But he didn't feel it yet, and raised his foggy eyes to look at them in confusion when he heard the voice.

Tong Shiqi couldn't bear it anymore, stretched out his hand to touch Xiao Ba's head and said, "Our Xiao Ba is so obedient, not like a little mouse, but like a kitten!"

His wife couldn't help laughing, took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the corners of Xiao Ba's mouth, then patted Xiao Ba's head and said, "Xiao Ba, leave them alone, let's eat ours."

Xiao Ba narrowed his eyes and hummed, then began to eat in small bites.

Halfway through the meal, Tong Shiqi suddenly thought of something and said: "By the way, I'll ask, the school in Baihua Street will start tomorrow, and it happens to be recruiting children as old as Xiao Ba, so I think we can take Xiao Ba this afternoon." Go sign up."

The woman looked at Xiao Ba and asked, "Xiao Ba, do you want to go to school?"

Xiao Ba put down the barbecue roll in his hand, and asked in a low voice, "What is reading?"

The woman smiled softly: "Just follow the teacher to learn how to read and learn a lot of things, so that when Xiaoba grows up, he can become a better person than uncle!"

"Worse than Uncle!" Xiao Ba opened his mouth in surprise, and asked expectantly, "Then...can you be a city guard?"

The two adults looked at each other, and Tong Shiqi smiled and said, "Of course, only by reading and writing can one become a city guard."

The woman asked him at the right time: "Xiao Ba, are you willing to go?"

Xiao Yazhong nodded: "Yes!"

Suddenly he shrank his neck hesitantly, and asked in a low voice, "Does reading... need a lot of money?"

Tong Shiqi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Ba, I don't need a lot of money, and uncle has money."

Xiao Ba looked at Tong Yiyi and pursed her lips and said, "It's still... it's sister Yiyi."

The two adults looked at each other and smiled, Xiao Ba was so sensible that it made people feel distressed, the woman said softly: "Xiao Ba, sister Yi Yi can't go, why don't you go to school and come back to teach sister Yi Yi, okay?"

Xiao Ba raised his head and looked at everyone's faces, as if confirming that they were telling the truth, then he looked at Tong Yiyi firmly and said: "Sister Yiyi, I will study hard when I get to school, and I will tell you what the teacher said. I'll tell you everything!"

Tong Yiyi patted his head: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Suddenly Tong Yiyi called out, she looked at Xiao Ba in surprise and said, "Xiao Ba, your eyes!"

The two adults also looked at Xiao Ba, only to see that their eyes were covered with mist just now, and the mist was removed in the moment they talked, and a pair of blue and clear eyes looked at them blankly.

Tong Yiyi once again wowed: "Xiaoba, your eyes can change color! So beautiful!"

Tong Shiqi asked in surprise, "How can the color of the eyes change? It's still blue. This is the first time I've seen this."

Hearing that she was different from other people, Xiao Ba was a little scared, and the woman hurriedly said: "That's because you don't know much, Yiyi and I have seen a person with blue eyes before, it's so cute!"

"That's right! Xiaoba's eyes are so beautiful!"

As he said that, Tong Yiyi took a mirror to Xiao Ba and said, "Xiao Ba, look for yourself, it's really beautiful!"

Xiao Ba raised his head and carefully looked at himself in the mirror. When he saw his blue eyes, he couldn't help pursing his lips and snickering. The woman smiled and said, "Our Xiao Ba is still a smug one?"

No, Xiao Ba whispered in his heart, he is not smug, but his uncle has a pair of blue eyes, and now he has it too, thinking of this makes him very happy!

In the afternoon, Tong Shiqi asked for leave and took Xiao Ba to enroll in the school on Baihua Street.

Baihua Street is located in the East District of Banlai. Most of the people living here are low-class people. Therefore, the schools on Baihua Street are also specially opened for the low-class people. They will not give these children too much knowledge and superficial recognition of characters. Arithmetic is the main subject here.

When Tong Shiqi brought Xiao Ba, there were many people in the school. Almost every adult brought their children. Like him, they all brought their children to report. They found the registration office and queued at the end of the line. It took about half an hour before it was their turn. The person sitting in front of them was a young man. Just from the clothes, he could tell that the status of this person was not too low. That luxurious clothes were definitely not something inferior people could wear. Xiao thought.

"Name?" The man's voice was a little lazy.

Tong Shiqi hurriedly said, "My lord, the child's name is Gan Qi."

"age?"

"Four years old."

"Four years old, it's a little young, so you sent it here at such a young age?" The man raised his head and looked at the father and son standing in front of him for the first time, his eyes swept away from the father, and when he saw At the time of Gan Ba, he grasped the pen in his hand instantly, looked straight at the child and asked, "My child, is this man really your father?"

Gan Ba ​​was frightened, and shrank behind Tong Shiqi, not daring to speak, Tong Shiqi smiled and said, "My lord, does this... need to be recorded?"

The man withdrew his gaze and said indifferently: "Of course, since he is studying in our school, we must ensure the safety of the child. Finding out his relationship will help us protect him."

Although he didn't understand what protection had to do with this matter, Tong Shiqi didn't dare to anger the nobles at this time, so he had to say: "My lord, I am not his father, he is my adopted son, which is equivalent to my son." His own son!"

The man glanced at Gan Ba ​​again, and then took a pen to record Gan Ba's information, and asked Tong Shiqi to take Gan Ba ​​to pay the fee. body.

The dark night sky was dotted with stars, the door of An's study on the second floor was knocked open, and a man came in respectfully and said, "General, we found it. Someone in Baihua Street saw a child with blue eyes appearing in Baihua Street School today."

An Cheng: "How old is it?"

Man: "According to the registered information, the child is only four years old."

"Well, not bad." An Cheng nodded, "Bring him to me tomorrow, and I'll see for myself."

"Yes."

……

Gong Hanwu and Sun Si rushed to Banlai in the middle of the night. Fortunately, they were the city guards. If it weren't for this level of identity, they wouldn't even be able to enter the city, but there was no way they could find someone in the middle of the night. ?They can only rest temporarily in Yang'an Hotel.

At dawn the next day, Gong Hanwu rushed to Baihua Street, Dongcheng District. After several inquiries, he found the boatman's dormitory. Recognizing him, now hearing that he is his father, what will happen to Xiaoba?Would he... would blame him?

Sun Si came over and said: "Xiaogong, I just asked. The family from Penglu lives in the first room on the left on the first floor. They did bring a little boy with them. Let's go ask."

"Hmm." Gong Hanwu's heart beat like a drum, and he mechanically walked towards the inconspicuous wooden door. An indescribable feeling captured him, making his palms start to itch and sweat.

Knock knock knock - knock knock knock -

"Who?"

A childish voice sounded from inside the door, Gong Hanwu's throat was blocked for a moment, and then he said: "Excuse me, is Gan Ba ​​here?"

After his words fell, there was a panicked voice from inside the door, and after a while, a female voice rang out from the door: "Who are you from Gan Ba? Why did you come to Gan Ba?"

Gong Hanwu lowered his eyes and said, "I am his... father."

……

Sun Si and Gong Hanwu walked on the way to Baihua Street School, Sun Si couldn't help sighing: "It's really not easy, from Cambay City to Banlai, then from Banlai to Penglu, and finally you have to go back to Banlai. I've never seen anything more excruciating than this."

Tong Shiqi who was next to him sighed when he heard this, and said, "Master Gong, don't worry too much. I sent Xiao Ba to school in the morning. He must be at school now."

Sun Si also patted Gong Hanwu on the shoulder: "Xiao Gong, don't worry, this time it's absolutely fine."

Indeed, when Gong Hanwu saw the child running and jumping in the open space from a distance, his heart thumped, his throat was completely blocked, his lips moved, but he couldn't make a single sound. Not coming out, seeing him like this, Sun Si shouted loudly: "Ganba, Xiaoba—"

Today is Ganba's first day at school. Most of the children with him are older than him. Perhaps because of his special blue eyes, he has become the focus of the students. Everyone looks at him curiously. Eyes, this kind of scrutiny does not contain the slightest malice, and even some classmates praised him for being cute, which made Gan Ba's cheeks blush, who had never been praised before. He was very embarrassed, but he didn't want these classmates to leave , because he wanted...to be praised.Just after the first class ended, he came to the open space under the coercion of his classmates. For these young children, the huge open space is always very attractive, especially in this open space. Heap, this is simply a paradise for children!

In Cambay City, he never played with his peers, because no one would want to let his child play with a child who was picking up trash and smelly all over his body. To him, Tong Yiyi was already considered a little sister. Today is Gan It was the first time for Bazhen to play with his peers and feel the sand passing in the palm of his hand. Just like this, they could play foolishly for most of the day.

It was at this time that Gan Ba ​​heard someone calling his name, the classmate next to him reacted faster than him, turned his head and pointed not far away and said, "Gan Ba, those two uncles are looking for you."

Gan Ba ​​looked over in a daze, and when he saw the person clearly, he stood up in surprise and shouted happily: "Uncle!"

Gong Hanwu laughed suddenly, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, he said with a smile: "Xiaoba, I found you!"

Gan Ba ​​was so happy, he didn't even care about the classmate he just met, he rushed to Gong Hanwu like a little beast, and said excitedly: "Uncle Uncle, you didn't lie to me, you really came to me! found me!"

Gan Ba's classmate came over with his head tilted, looked at Gong Hanwu and Gan Ba ​​and asked, "Gan Ba, is he your father? Your eyes are all blue!"

Gan Ba ​​looked into Gong Hanwu's eyes, and suddenly stretched out his eyes covered with two small paws, and was about to say no, when he heard his favorite uncle say: "Yes, I am Gan Ba's... dad."

Gan Ba's classmate wowed, and enviously said to Gan Ba: "Gan Ba, your father is so tall!"

Gan Ba ​​put down his paws and stared blankly at Gong Hanwu. Gong Hanwu squatted down and gently held Gan Ba's hand. His two pairs of identical blue eyes looked at each other. Gong Hanwu said, "Little Eight, I'm your father, let's find a quiet place, and I'll tell you everything, okay?"

Gan Ba ​​was stunned, unable to recover, he whispered: "But I have a father, can a child have two fathers?"

Tong Shiqi came out of the classroom and said, "Let's go, I asked the teacher for half a day off, and I can send Xiao Ba to school in the afternoon."

Gong Hanwu picked up Xiao Ba, who was still in a daze, and felt the dry and thin body in his arms. He relaxed in distress, and the three big men took Xiao Ba and left the school like this.

Tong Shiqi had just asked for leave yesterday, and he really couldn't ask for leave today. He had done his best to spare more than ten minutes to come to school, so he could only ask Gan Ba ​​for a few words, and then he had to go back to work. Ba looked at Tong Shiqi who left with some dependence, and Gong Hanwu noticed the proposal: "How about we find a place to eat near here? This is near the school."

Of course Sun Si didn't care: "Anything is fine."

Hearing this, Gan Ba ​​also relaxed a little. He is still too young, and all his sense of security comes from adults. Although Gong Hanwu saved him, he is more dependent on getting along now than he is now. Tong Shiqi has been around for quite some time.

Soon, Gong Hanwu and Sun Si took Gan Ba ​​and sat down in a shop. This shop sells Banlai's special snacks - a snow-white pastry mixed with brown sugar, which is very popular among children. Soft, glutinous and steaming, Ganba discovered this delicious little pastry when he first arrived here. He once picked up candies that others accidentally dropped on the ground, and that was the first time he ate such a sweet The taste, and then fell in love with this kind of thing that makes him happy from head to toe, so just by smelling it, he knows that this little white pastry is sweet!But he is very sensible and knows that Uncle Tong is kind enough to take him in, so he will never make any other requests.

Now a plate of white and fat pastries is placed in front of him, Gong Hanwu said: "Eat it, I ordered it specially for you."

Gan Ba ​​stared wide-eyed at the cakes, then at Gong Hanwu, and finally at Sun Si. Sun Si stood up and said, "Okay, you two, father and son, have a good chat. I'll go to the Circus to find out what's going on. See 067 Did something go wrong with them?"

After finishing speaking, Sun Si left, Gong Hanwu turned his head and saw Gan Ba ​​still staring at the pastry, he smiled: "Eat it if you want, otherwise the brown sugar cake will not taste good if it is cold."

Then Gan Ba ​​stretched out his little hand and carefully picked up a pastry and took a small bite. The bite was too small, he only bit into the white cake, not the brown sugar inside. He stared at the pastry with round eyes, as if not I know why something that smells sweet has no taste in my mouth.

Gong Hanwu couldn't help laughing, he stretched out his hand to help Gan Ba ​​divide the pastry into two, exposing the dark brown sugar juice in the middle, and then put the side with brown sugar juice to Gan Ba's mouth: "Taste it."

Gan Ba ​​couldn't hold back, took a small bite, then narrowed his eyes happily, and whispered: "Sweet, uncle, you can eat too!"

After speaking, he suddenly thought of something, held the pastry in both hands and said awkwardly: "Uncle, are you... really me... Dad?"

A gleam of water flashed in Gong Hanwu's eyes, and he said: "Well, I am Xiao Ba's biological father, you see Xiao Ba's eyes are blue, and mine are blue, so I am Xiao Ba's. Dad."

Gan Ba ​​nodded, thinking it made sense in his heart, but he felt very strange: "But, I had a father before."

Gong Hanwu let out a soft voice, watching Xiao Ba slowly explain those things in a way that children can understand, and after beautifying them a little bit, he told Xiao Ba. Knowing: "The previous father is not my father, he just helped to take care of me, you are my father?"

Gong Hanwu fed him a sip of hot water, patted his head and said, "Xiaoba is really smart!"

Being praised, Xiao Ba felt shy again, he curled his neck like a fluffy bird, looked at Gong Hanwu tentatively and called, "Daddy?"

Gong Hanwu smiled: "Yes."

Xiao Ba called again: "Dad."

Gong Hanwu's smile widened: "What's wrong?"

"dad."

"Ah."

"father!"

"Ok!"

"dad!!"

"son!"

As soon as Gong Hanwu hugged him, Xiao Ba laughed and said, "I have a father!"

Maybe because he felt that this sentence was wrong, he changed his words: "I like my father!"

This sentence was still wrong, and he finally came up with a satisfactory description: "It turns out that my father likes me!"

Hearing this sentence, Gong Hanwu hugged him, almost unable to hold back the tears in his eyes, Xiao Ba was still throbbing happily in his arms, and said loudly: "My father is a great hero! My father It's amazing, it's amazing!"

He still remembers when Gong Cambrian rescued him from the evil spirits in Cambay City. Since then, Gong Cambrian has become a well-deserved hero in his heart. Now the hero in his heart has become his father, and he still likes it very much. I really like his father, how can I not make him happy, how can I not make him excited?

After that, Xiao Ba never came down from Gong Hanwu's arms. This was the first time he was held in the arms of an adult for such a long time. He hugged Gong Hanwu's neck with attachment. It seems that there is some extraordinary magical power. When he recognized this person in his heart as his father, he felt an unprecedented attachment to the adult in front of him. He stretched out his small hand to touch Gong Hanwu's cheek and nose, and finally looked at Gong Hanwu. Cambrian's eyes showed his millet teeth and he smiled happily.

The happy time is always short, in Gong Hanwu's feeling, the time seems to have passed by in a flash, obviously he has only held Xiaoba for a short time, and after telling Xiaoba that he is called Gong Ji, Gong is his surname Ji hoped that Xiaoba would be safe and auspicious in the future, and then it was lunch time. After he fed Xiaoji, the father and son hugged each other and whispered for a while, and it was time for Xiaoji to go to school in the blink of an eye.

It's not that Gong Hanwu doesn't want to be with Xiaoji, the father and son just met each other, and he wished to hug Xiaoji wherever he went, but no, the school in Baihua Street has a record for every student who enrolls, and once they sign up, they must be complete After three days of experience, you can make a decision to continue studying and drop out of school. If you don’t follow the rules, you will be blacklisted by the school forever. After that, the child will not be able to enter the school for the rest of his life. For Xiaoji’s future, Gong Hanwu Having to send the child to school, he patted Xiaoji's head and said, "You guys leave school at four o'clock in the afternoon. Dad will pick you up then."

Gong Ji nodded heavily: "I'll wait for Dad!"

Gong Hanwu smiled and said: "Go, Dad will watch you go in."

Gong Ji nodded and turned around, walking towards the classroom step by step and turning his head three times. Every time he saw Gong Hanwu who was still looking at him, he would show a big smile. The father and son recognized each other, and he was reluctant to let Gong Hanwu be the father.
