As for why he could not find it, although the sturdy man did not say it, Yan Zheng knew in his heart.

He wiped away the tears that had not dried on his face and silently asked, "Father, do you know …" The next words were stuck in his throat, so he couldn't say anything.

Know what? Do you know that he spent four years in that unclean place? Or did they know that he had done something to humiliate his family and disgrace his ancestors?

With a bitter smile on his lips, Yan Zheng fell silent.

The bag beside his feet suddenly turned over and over. A soft and soft object stuck itself to his feet. It was warm, lively and full of life. A thread of heat was transmitted into his cold heart.

Yan Zheng extended his hand out to untie the rope at the entrance of the cloth bag, but the sturdy man stopped him and said: "This is not an ordinary crow."

Yan Zheng raised his eyes and looked at him seriously, saying, "I know. This is a goblin. "

The brawny man looked surprised. You know about it, yet you're still close to it? "

"Nothing, he treated me very well, I raised him for three years. He had even helped me deliver a letter to the Yan Family before. "Unfortunately …" There was no reply.

The brawny man raised his eyebrows. Who would have thought! This Bird Demon would still repay the kindness!

"However, monsters are still different from people. Without the blood oath of the Dao Alliance, who knows how many monsters it would devour? Do you have a contract with him? " the brawny man asked again.

Yan Zheng shook his head. As a mere mortal, how could he know all this?

The brawny man frowned and didn't say anything else. When he reached a fork in the road, he tugged at the cow's tail and the cow obediently took the left path and continued to move forward.

Yan Zheng clicked his tongue in wonder and untied the ropes, carefully bringing the Ya Jiu out.

After the binding on its body was released, the Ya Jiu stretched its wings and flapped it wings a few times. It let out a few croaks and suddenly turned around angrily, spitting out a wind blade at the bearded man.

"Whoa!" The brawny man was unaware that his clothes had been cut by the wind blades.

Yan Zheng was so scared that he almost fell off from his seat. He hurriedly grabbed onto the Stupid Bird, wrapped the bird in his embrace and forcefully nodded the Ya Jiu's head. Then, he smiled at the sturdy man with an innocent face and apologized: "Sorry, sorry! My clan's Ya Jiu didn't mean to … "This, benefactor's clothes are torn, why don't you change them and let me sew them up for benefactor?"

The Ya Jiu knew that it had gotten into trouble and quickly shrunk into a little quail, hiding in Yan Zheng's embrace and not coming out.

The sturdy man waved his hand, "It's fine. "He's quite the grumpy one."

The Ya Jiu buried them for a while and realized that they were no longer in danger. It stretched out its head and pecked Yan Zheng's sleeves lightly.

"What now?" Yan Zheng had a helpless look on his face as he wiped away the feathers of the stupid bird.

"Gua — —" The Ya Jiu cried out twice, suddenly pounced out from Yan Zheng's embrace, flapped its wings and flew around in the air for a few rounds before descending, landing on the ox's back, jumped two steps on its small feet, tilted its head, and looked at the teenager.

Yan Zheng understood what he meant and looked at the sturdy man a few times.

"Ask." The muscular man raised his head and took another gulp of wine.

Yan Zheng cleared his throat and asked: "I wonder if benefactor knows who reported the letter to the external ancestor?"

The sturdy man's surname was Mo, and he was Yan Zheng's grandfather, Jiang Dai Gong's retainer. He had only heard from Jiang Taisui that he was going to save this child, but he did not know who reported it to him. However, he was aware of the fact that guests had come to visit those two days.

"As for the specific person who sent the message, I do not know." However, I met a young man at the gatehouse that day. He looked to be no more than twenty, and seemed to be from a remote village somewhere.

Yan Zheng thanked the benefactor and looked towards Crow.

The Ya Jiu knew who it was. He jumped up and down happily. It seemed that he had made the right decision when he transformed back into his human form!

"Caw Caw!" The Ya Jiu howled towards the sky twice, then suddenly jumped onto Yan Zheng's shoulder and started chattering in bird language.

"Don't worry, we won't let them down." Yan Zheng smiled and rubbed the bird's head.

Monet was very surprised that this youth could understand the language of birds. Or perhaps, he only understood this one.

It was late in the afternoon when the cart pulled up at a farm to the east. The surrounding people were a bit far, and even Yan Zheng was unable to find them after thinking for a while. In fact, he still couldn't fully trust the bearded man in his heart. However, being able to escape that place was already a pleasant surprise. He didn't dare to ask for anything else for the time being.

Monet did not care, but told the boy what he was going to do.

"Let's temporarily rest here for a month or two before returning."

Yan Zheng was shocked! "Why?" It can't be that he wants to harm me...

Monet wrinkled his nose and said, "Remove the smell of your makeup."

"Yan Zheng lifted his sleeve and took a sniff. There was no fragrance. I've already changed my clothes. "

Monet began to grow impatient. How could this man know only bird language and not human speech?

"With such a small body like a white chicken, you can't lift it by your shoulder. How are you going to tell your family where you have been all these years? You have to be tanned, you have to be strong, you have to have rough hands and feet, you have to be taller, you have to look like a real man! When your father asked you, you said that you had experienced the ways of the people! "

Yan Zheng was in a bit of a trance. Was it for this reason? He thought that even his grandfather despised him and didn't want him to enter the house, so he casually raised him in the manor! But originally, they had actually paved a road for him to openly return to the Yan Family …

Hot tears welled up in her eyes again.

This time he did not cry, but cupped his fist and bowed to Monet.

When he stood up, Yan Zheng's face was filled with a brilliant smile.

"I will live up to grandfather's expectations!"

Yanzhou Prefecture

The sound of clashing porcelain came from a luxurious little building in the Yan Family's backyard.

"What?" He didn't even look at her? "He ran away?" Master Yan's successor, Madam Wan, closed the teacup and slammed it on the table.

"With so much silver, I can't even look at a piece of trash!" Wan's exquisite face was a little distorted.

The woman who came to report the news bowed even lower and replied in a soft voice, "It's all the fault of those guards that they were greedy for wine. The little woman's elder brother had already severely punished them! I wonder, what kind of constitution is this lady going to have next? "I'm afraid that I won't be able to search in such a large scale …" Yan Family was a business in Shouxian as well, the manager of the shop was in contact with the merchants of the towns below. The kidnapping of a good son was a serious crime! Not to mention that the Jiang Clan wasn't someone to be trifled with …

Wan of the Clouds understood this logic. That was why she felt aggrieved!

His efforts failed! He had originally thought that after his own child grew up in two years, he would be able to deal with that brat in secret. He could either sell him to those old men with strange fetishes, or take advantage of the Lord's time to discuss business and arrange a chance encounter for them … It would be best if the old master was drunk before sending the person up. In that case, even if the old master was angered to death, he wouldn't be able to keep the person alive!

The good plan of killing two birds with one stone was ruined just like that!

Wan Shi took a deep breath, frowned, and thought about how to deal with the man if he came back.
