Chapter 398 The Life of an Ancient Cannon Fodder (15)



Tang Baozhu hid in this small mountain village for three years, until the outside strife had stopped and the male protagonist had ascended the throne as emperor.

Xiao Bao is already a four-year-old child. Of the 16 adopted children, the oldest is around ten years old and the youngest is eight or nine.

After being holed up in the mountain village for so long, Tang Baozhu finally made up her mind to go out.

For so many years, the outside world has been in a state of war, and we haven't been able to go find Xiaobao's hunter father.

It's because there are too many children. If we go, it's so chaotic outside, and I'm worried they'll get separated.

Now things are finally peaceful, and I can take some of the kids out again.

Most importantly, Tang Baozhu wanted to go to the capital to take a look. Although her son was learning from her and was not illiterate, she didn't know if he would want to take the imperial examination when he grew up, so she still wanted to find him a private school.

If possible, send the remaining 16 children along with them. At least they'll be raised together, and they can help their son in the future.

On the day they left, it was still a horse-drawn carriage with only one compartment, but this time Tang Baozhu was the only one sitting in the compartment, while Xiao Bao had to walk outside with the other older brothers and sisters.

I asked the village head to look after the house, as long as no one else was allowed to live there, that was fine.

He bid farewell to everyone else in the village and gave away all the things in his house that he couldn't take with him to his neighbors.

Since Tang Baozhu had no intention of coming back, those things were just sitting there anyway, so it was better to give them away.

That way, the neighbors will be more attentive to the house she left there. They might not take meticulous care of it, but they'll likely try their best not to tamper with it.

After leaving Tianshui Village, Tang Baozhu and her group headed straight for the capital.

Tang Baozhu sat alone in the carriage, watching her son playfully fighting with the others, and knew he was quite happy.

Looking at her son's appearance, she noticed that the older he grew, the less he resembled her.

Unfortunately, she had no idea what the hunter looked like, because in the little girl's memory, the hunter always had a full beard and was very tall and strong, but she really didn't know what he looked like.

However, Tang Baozhu guessed that her son didn't resemble her, but rather his father, the hunter.

Sometimes when he's bored, he'll stare at his son and scrutinize him closely, trying to see if he can tell what his father looks like from his face.

Even at his young age, it's clear he'll grow up to be very handsome, so his father probably isn't too ugly.

This trip to Beijing was not only to find a private school for the children, but also to see if I could find my son's biological father.

However, she plans to give herself two years. If she still can't find one after two years, then she will stop looking.

Tang Baozhu felt that she had spent two years looking for her father, which was quite a long time. She didn't think she was particularly heartless. If she were heartless, she would have found a partner a few years ago.

After all, Sweetwater Village may not have much else, but it has plenty of burly men, all of them tall and strong, with muscles all over their bodies from frequent hunting, they just haven't put their minds to it.

It took about two hours to finally reach the city gate of the capital after leaving Tianshui Village.

When I first arrived in the capital, the city gates were exceptionally tall, and they exuded a strong sense of history.

Even though dynasties have changed, the capital city remains the center of every country. Looking at the mottled marks on it, the city wall must be over a thousand years old.

Tang Baozhu still remembers that a few years ago, if you wanted to enter the capital, it cost 50 taels of silver per person, but now no one is stopping you from charging silver anymore.

However, there is still a fee to enter the city gate, which is five coins per person. Only after paying the fee can one enter.

After the group of 18 people and one puppet entered the city gate, they went straight to the side to inquire about the location of the brokerage firm. In any case, they had to find a place to stay first.

Anyway, it's still early, so we can buy the yard in advance, move in, and then come back to explore the whole of Beijing.

When they arrived at the brokerage firm, they immediately told the puppet to go inside and speak to the manager, asking him to show them the house.

Tang Baozhu decided not to go in. After leaving that small mountain village, she stopped applying those things to her face to avoid trouble, so she didn't go out.

I've heard that in the capital, right under the emperor's nose, a single punch can land on several officials and even a few imperial relatives, so there are relatively fewer spoiled brats. I just don't know if that's true.

Soon the puppet came out of the pawnshop, followed by a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties with a small mustache who looked particularly old.

Tang Baozhu felt that she had seen a lot of people with beards in this world. It seemed that as long as they got married and had children, they would unconsciously start to grow beards to show that they had become mature men, which also made them look more stable.

She just couldn't stand it. She always felt that people who were clearly good-looking should grow a beard to make themselves look ugly.

Just like Xiao Bao's father, if he hadn't always kept his beard, she would have known what he looked like.

If you knew what someone looked like, you could easily find them with a simple scan using your divine sense.

After all, given her cultivation level as an Immortal Emperor in her previous life, she could scan almost the entire country with her divine sense alone and find the person long ago. Why wait until now?

After the broker came out of the shop, he saw the person who had just come to see him sitting in the front of the carriage and figured that the person who really wanted to buy the house was the one sitting in the carriage.

The shopkeeper immediately guessed that the person inside the carriage was a woman, since no one was getting off. Normally, a man would get off directly, or at least lift the curtain to greet someone. Since there was nothing there, he assumed it was a lady who was hesitant to greet someone.

Along the way, the shopkeeper started chatting with the puppet, subtly inquiring about the size of the courtyard he wanted to buy and the approximate budget of several thousand taels of silver, or tens of thousands of taels of silver.

That way, he can take everyone to a courtyard that meets their requirements. If there are no requirements, it would be a waste of time to look at each courtyard one by one.

Tang Baozhu directly conveyed her budget and desired house size to the puppet through her divine sense, and then had the puppet and the shopkeeper chat.

Tang Baozhu wanted to buy a bigger house so that at least a dozen children could each have their own room.
