Chapter 326
"Si Niang, Si Niang~"
"Where have you been?"
Just as his mother covered his mouth and squatted in the crevice of the reef in fear, his father's voice came from outside.
"Yes, is it the child's father?"
"Boss, boss, we are here~"
The mother's emotions fluctuated greatly and she began to choke up with sobs.
"Oh, what happened?"
When the mother heard her father's exclamation, she quickly pulled him out.
What greeted them was a big slap in the face from their father.
The father's face was filled with anger. He cursed the mother loudly, picked up the young master from the ground and returned to the cave.
Wang Jingtao didn't quite understand the emotions between adults at the time, but from the conversation between his father and mother, he knew that something was wrong with the young master.
He was very scared at that time, because when they were choosing playmates for the young master, the head steward had warned them to take good care of the young master and know how to protect him. If anything happened to the young master, they would be buried with him!
The sun came out, and there were many people riding horses coming in and out of the fishing village in the distance.
Her father carried the young master on his back, and her mother held her in her arms, avoiding the fishing village and hurried to the city along the mountain road on the side.
Fortunately, they had enough money, and after a day and a night of treatment, the young master's life was saved.
Unfortunately, he didn't recognize anyone anymore and he didn't remember anything from the past.
The expression on my father's face gradually changed from worry and tension at the beginning to confusion and hesitation.
That night, he woke up in a daze in the middle of the night and heard his father scolding and his mother crying.
"Do you know where the lady came from? It's all spread out there now..."
"If it weren't for you, would this have happened to the young master? Maybe we could all have followed the young master back to Kyoto!"
"Think about it, the young master has no relatives around him anymore. Our family is his closest relatives, and he is the only blood of the hero Wang Sujun."
"If this hadn't happened, why would we be hiding like this?"
"You're blaming me now. After such a big change, and the child being frightened, it's normal for him to have a fever. I was carrying him on my back to cool down in the sea, and when I heard the noise, how could I not be scared?"
"I am also a mother. I have my own children. I protect my own children. What did I do wrong?"
“Wuwuwu~…”
"Forget it, forget it, stop crying! Leave me alone!"
"Boss, what should we do now?"
"My husband and I have been in the General's Mansion for so many years. Many people have seen us. If they want to find us, they will find us sooner or later."
"Master, if we go back now, there's no way we'll ever get out again. Our children will become peasants in the countryside."
"I've been working hard all my life, leaving home early and returning home late, just to make ends meet..."
"Tell me, how come people are born so unequal? We all come into this world naked, and then..."
"You said our Yaozu is good-looking, smart, and even learned to read from the young master, but how come he was born into our womb? He doesn't have a good background..."
Wang Jingtao fell asleep amid his father's sighs and his mother's complaints.
When he woke up the next day, his father and mother looked haggard, and it was obvious that they had not slept all night. His mother's eyes were swollen like peaches. She hugged him tightly in her arms and cried like a beast that was about to lose its cub.
"Yaozu, my son, woo woo woo, don't blame us, we did this for you."
"If you follow us back, you might never get out of those mountains again. You are your parents' treasure. For you, we are willing to do anything!"
Wang Jingtao vaguely remembered that he was held in his parents' arms and they talked a lot.
"Child, forget everything. Just think you were frightened and don't remember anything. Just remember that your mother's name is Wang Sujun."
"You are Wang Sujun's son. She once told you that your grandfather is a very powerful hero and will definitely come to save you."
"Do you know? Do you remember?"
"You don't know anything else, you've forgotten everything. You only know that your mother's name is Wang Sujun, and she's very beautiful. She told you that you have a very powerful grandfather who will come to save you!"
He was forced to repeat this sentence over and over again.
"I don't know anything, I don't know anything. My mother is Wang Sujun, and I have a very powerful and heroic grandfather. He will definitely come to save us!"
That day, his father kept making him cry, coaxing him, tempting him, beating him, and asking him questions.
"Who are you? What's your name? How old are you?"
"My name is Song Yaozu, and this year..."
Before he could finish his words, his palm was slapped with a board.
"Come, don't be afraid, tell me, what's your name? How old are you? What are your parents' names?"
“My name is Song…”
"Pah~"
“Wuwuwu…”
"Child, remember what your parents said. No matter how others coax you or ask you, you must not tell them."
…
He cried for a whole day and night, and was even woken up in the middle of the night to ask what his name was.
At this point, he was almost going crazy, and he kept repeating, "I don't know, I don't know, I only remember that my mother's name is Wang Sujun, and I have a very powerful and heroic grandfather. Grandpa will come to save us, wuwuwu..."
The next day, he was sent back to the small fishing village by his parents, and an imposing man in military uniform ran out and hugged him.
He was so frightened that he screamed, "I don't know, I don't know anything. I only know that my mother's name is Wang Sujun, and I have a great and heroic grandfather. He will come to save us. I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid."
The eyes of that upright man turned red when he looked at him.
His father and mother left without looking back.
For a long time afterwards, it didn't matter who approached him, who spoke to him, or even what others said.
He kept repeating with a look of panic, "I don't know, I don't know, I only know that my mother's name is Wang Sujun, and I have a very powerful and heroic grandfather, who will come to save us~"
Later he was taken to Kyoto, where he was taken to see a doctor, and no one ever mentioned the past to him again.
He had a new name, Wang Jingtao. He no longer had a father and mother, but he had grandparents, many uncles, and brothers and sisters.
At first he didn't understand. For a long time, he would dream in the middle of the night that his parents didn't want him anymore, and he would wake up crying.
But as he grew up, he understood his father and mother's efforts and helplessness.
For so many years, he has been separated from his parents.
For so many years, he has been loyal and filial to his grandparents, not for the purpose of returning the name Wang Jingtao to someone else many years later.
Their entire Song family paid such a huge price.
Thinking about Song Jingzhou’s file today, the three words "Song Yaozu" were written in the column of former name.
Wang Jingtao's eyes darkened. Perhaps it was time for him to go to southern Hunan.
