Ye Moxun disliked her for having a name that sounded too rustic, so this time she put a lot of thought into it and finally found some nice-sounding and meaningful names in medical books.
And it sounds particularly impressive and domineering.
Because the little girl bought from the human trafficker looked like Song Tantan, Song Tantan took special care of her and let her choose a name first.
The little girl chose Solomon's Seal, so the four-year-old little bean was named Pinellia, and the eight-year-old girl was named Lithospermum.
Banxia's eldest brother is called Chonglou, her second brother is called Shenqu, and the ones she bought later are Suoyang, Chenxiang, and Zhusha.
Oh, right, I also bought a mute servant. He was supposedly born mute, but he could hear and understand what others were saying. He was burly, with a square face and immense strength.
I used to be a slave in the household of a local gentry and landlord. I was treated like an ox and a horse all day long, and I was made to pull plows, turn the soil, grind grain, and do anything that required animals.
The worst part was that he was made to pull a horse-drawn carriage, and the gentry's son sat on the edge of the carriage, whipping him like an animal. In short, he was subjected to all sorts of torture and abuse.
The mute man was eighteen years old this year, a time when he was full of vigor and blood. He couldn't help but put up a slight resistance. He really didn't use any force, but the gentry's son was too useless. He was pushed away by the gentry's son and fell far away, breaking one of his legs.
This time, the mute man really got into big trouble. He was severely beaten with whips by the old gentry and his men, and then locked in the woodshed and starved for several days. They originally wanted to kill him, but the mute man later broke free of his ropes and escaped.
On the way, because he was too hungry and injured, he fainted on the road and was rescued by a woodcutter whose family was extremely poor.
The mute man ate two meals at the woodcutter's house and almost ate all the remaining food. He ate too much and they couldn't afford to feed him. There were three people in the woodcutter's family: his wife and son.
The woodcutter's wife was a cunning woman. She quickly discovered that the mute man was incredibly strong. After discussing it with the woodcutter, she tricked him into going to the prefectural city and then sold him to a slave trader for two taels of silver.
When Song Tantan and Ye Moxun went to the human slave dealer, the mute man had already been there for over a month, but hadn't been sold because the price was a bit high.
In the end, Song Tantan bought him back for four taels of silver. Those people didn't know his worth. This young man with superhuman strength was a good worker. Taking him back would be of great help. If all else failed, he could be used as a guard.
Moreover, he is mute and illiterate, so he can keep his mouth shut about whatever you say, and you can arrange for him to do many things that need to be done in secret.
So at this time, the mute man was in charge of driving the carriage. He had been bought by Song Tantan for eight days. The mute man was very satisfied with his current master. He didn't beat him and let him eat his fill every day, as much as he wanted.
The work he was given was many times easier than what he used to do for the old gentry. He had to perform well so that his master would keep him around and not abandon him.
By the way, the mute also has a name, Tian Qi. Song Tantan thinks this name is very down-to-earth and matches the mute's temperament well.
The mute man excitedly drove the carriage. Before, he was only fit to be a beast of burden, being whipped and pulled by others. How could he ever drive a carriage like this, whipping himself? This moment was the pinnacle of his life.
Eight little kids were sitting in the carriage. Ye Moxun and Song Tantan each rode a horse, moving much faster than Tian Qi could drive the carriage, and had to stop and wait from time to time.
It has been half a year since they left Xifeng. Ye Moxun and Song Tantan are both eager to return home. They will put the matter of buying a shop and opening a store on hold for the time being. They miss their twins and aunt/aunt at home and just want to go back and reunite with them as soon as possible.
Tian Qi can really eat a lot. He can eat twenty steamed buns the size of an adult's fist in one meal, and then drink a huge bowl of meat porridge. Song Tantan suspects that he can eat a whole pig.
"We can't let him eat like this. If he eats like this, he'll turn into a pig and weigh three or four hundred pounds." Ye Moxun looked at Tian Qi, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall and had a larger frame than the average person. If he continued to grow horizontally, he might even weigh five hundred pounds.
"He doesn't seem to be binge eating. He really can eat this much. Didn't you see him staring at the pot with his eyes wide open?" Song Tantan thought that it was normal for Tian Qi to be able to eat so much, given his physique and superhuman strength.
Just like her and her aunt, because practicing martial arts takes a lot of physical strength, they eat more than ordinary women. Since they consume a lot of energy, they naturally need to replenish more.
Song Zhuiyan received the letter in advance and originally wanted to meet them at the city gate, but the twins were really naughty. Just as they were about to leave, little Zhong Jingheng wet his pants, and then little Zhong Yingshuang followed behind.
Tsk, if it weren't for the hot weather, and the fear of getting heat rash on the two little ones' bottoms, I would have put diapers on them. But diapers are easy to expose, so when it gets cold, I can only put them on at night, and she has to put them on herself to sleep.
Song Tantan and her group had already entered the city gates of Xiangyang City and then hurried to Fengcheng. After entering the city, Song Tantan looked around but couldn't find her aunt.
"My aunt didn't even bring Heng'er and Shuang'er to pick us up! Wow, how heartless!" She exaggeratedly clutched her chest, as if she had been seriously injured.
"Stop acting. Auntie is taking care of her younger siblings all by herself. How can she find the time to pick us up? Heng'er and Shuang'er are already over nine months old. I don't know how much trouble they cause."
Ye Mo thought of Zhong Jingheng's baby, who could stand up and jump around when he was three months old. That little guy was really energetic.
"I know, I was just asking casually. Let's hurry up, I miss my little darlings so much. Every time I meet them in the space, Auntie takes them out in less than an hour. I can't even hold them longer." Song Tantan complained, her lips curling into a crazy smile.
Hearing Ye Moxun's name made him grit his teeth. Every time, he could only watch longingly as she saw the twins on her social media, and then wait for her to come out and tell him that Heng'er had gained a few more pounds and was so heavy that she could barely carry him anymore.
Shuang'er has gained a lot of weight, but she's not as chubby as Heng'er. The little rascal has started eating solid foods and loves steamed egg custard with minced meat. He'll definitely be a meat lover when he grows up.
The two were anxious and quickly rode their horses away, disappearing from sight.
Tian Qi, who was driving the carriage behind, was dumbfounded. Why did his master suddenly run away? What was he going to do with the little radishes in the carriage? Where was he going to find them?
"Woo-woo-wah." Tian Qi opened his mouth and cried out a few times, but he could only utter such monosyllabic letters, which was really difficult for Fatty Tiger.
"Don't rush, let's ask someone." Chonglou wasn't the oldest among the eight; the oldest was Suoyang, who was twelve. But Chonglou was the most composed of them all, and this composure had earned him a voice among them.
Yu Zhu was the second most influential person, because she knew a lot of characters, knew more than others, and was very opinionated.
At this moment, all we heard her say was, "But we don't know where the master lives, nor do we know the name of the mansion. How can we ask for directions?"
"What should we do then?" Chonglou was also stumped.
"We'll just wait here by the roadside. When the two masters remember, they'll send someone to pick us up," Yu Zhu said softly.
No one else objected, so they listened to her and told Tian Qi to park the carriage on the side of the street and wait obediently.
