This was related to Ya'er's life experience, so Sun Tu naturally did not dare to act rashly. Even if it was already past the third watch, he would not let her go. He only asked her to tell the details of the recognition of her family. And in Ya'er's slow narration, he finally had a basic understanding of the cause and effect of this matter, and had to sigh, fate is really mysterious -
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, when Wu Song and the others made a surprise attack on the mountain and finally captured Fang La, Ya'er, who was already in Bianjing, also experienced another important moment in her life.
At that time, they already knew that they had been deceived by the court and became more aware of their situation. But even so, what they cared about most was still the husband who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River to quell the chaos. So after learning that the Dongyue Temple in the capital was the most effective, the two women decided to go to burn incense and pray together on the Dragon Boat Festival. .
Fortunately, as long as they don't try to escape from Bianjing, everything is free in this city, so this trip is quite smooth. It was only after arriving at Dongyue Temple that they discovered the fact that there were quite a number of believers who went to the temple to pray today. They were really crowded with people, not to mention them, but those who were high-ranking officials in the capital. The family members could only line up and squeeze in slowly.
Just like when there are crowds on other festivals, there will always be people fishing in troubled waters. At this time, there were many people in Dongyue Temple who took advantage of the pilgrims, or took advantage of them, or looked for opportunities to steal some property. And Ya'er, who looked a bit weak and easy to bully, and was a woman, was naturally attracted by several thieves.
When she and Hu Rong came to kneel down in front of the Buddha statue to pray, someone suddenly took action, cut open Ya'er's skirt with a knife, and took off the purse hidden in her waist. But after all, the thief underestimated the person. Just when he succeeded and was about to leave, Hu Rong beside him noticed something was wrong. He immediately shouted loudly, jumped up and tried to take the person.
However, this thief was also a habitual offender, and he had already found a way to escape after being discovered. The moment Hu Rong broke his hiding, he jumped straight into the crowd behind him like a swimming fish. As the hall was full of people, and the outside was even more crowded, Hu Rong failed to hold him back, allowing him to blend into the crowd.
Ya'er, who had already woken up, realized that her purse had been stolen. Originally, she might not have taken it too seriously if some of her personal belongings were stolen, but the contents of the purse were extremely important. Her eyes turned red with anxiety: "She screamed out loud, Sister Rong, he stole it." My wallet, where is it..."
As a sister for many years, Hu Rong naturally knew what the contents of this purse meant to her. She was also annoyed at the moment and immediately pursued her with all her strength. Even in such a mixed situation, she was staring at the person and refused to let him go. . The two of them were chasing and running away, causing chaos inside and outside the Dongyue Temple. Even the few followers who were guarding outside and the government officials who were keeping an eye on them were alerted and immediately surrounded them from all sides.
But in the end, the thief did not fall into the hands of any of them. Instead, he ran into an old woman who was very elegant in her appearance and was directly killed by several followers in front of her while escaping in a panic. Take it.
When he was pushed to the ground with his hands cut behind his back, the purse that had been carelessly placed in his arms fell out, and it fell to the ground.
At the same time, a jade pendant rolled out. The old woman, who had not taken this seriously at first, was stunned when her eyes fell on the jade pendant.
Next to the old woman was a middle-aged man with the same extraordinary bearing. Seeing her sudden change of color, at first he thought it was because her mother was frightened, until he noticed that her eyes were staring at the familiar patch of ground on the ground. After putting on the jade pendant, he suddenly got excited and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up both the purse and the jade pendant. Then, after carefully examining it, he softly called out: "Mother, this is..."
At the same time, Hu Rong and several followers hurriedly chased after him. Seeing this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to thank him and wanted to ask for the jade pendant and purse back. But the middle-aged man just looked at her: "Little lady, are this purse and jade pendant yours?"
"No, it belongs to my sister." Hu Rong was straightforward and didn't even notice the strange expressions of the mother and son in front of her. At this time, the old woman finally calmed down and asked with some urgency: "Then, where is your sister?"
Although she thought it was a little strange for these two people to ask this, Hu Rong still looked back and pointed at Ya'er who was chasing after her anxiously: "Here, it's her. This purse and jade pendant are both Ya'er."
At this time, Ya'er also saw the situation here. Seeing that the thief had been caught and all the things were there, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to thank him and wanted to get the things back immediately. But to their surprise, the old woman was not in a hurry to ask her son to return the things. Instead, after looking at Ya'er for a while, she said in a trembling voice: "Little lady, where did you get this jade pendant?" Come?"
When Ya'er looked at her like this, she felt a sense of intimacy in her heart. At the same time, her eyes were slightly red: "I, I'm not too sure. I only know that this is the jade pendant I have worn since I was a child. It’s the only thing my parents left me.”
As soon as these words came out, the old woman's expression changed even more, but the man next to her frowned, and then said: "If you don't mind, would you like to find a place to talk first? There are so many people here. It’s really inconvenient.”
Indeed, after this commotion, many spectators had gathered around them, and the thief was still being caught. Ya'er looked at the old woman again, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed. Seeing this, Hu Rong naturally wanted to go with her.
So in a private room of a restaurant not far from Dongyue Temple, Ya'er told two familiar strangers about her origins and the relationship between this jade pendant and her: "... Anyway, as long as I can remember , this jade pendant has always been with me. I only know that this is the only token left to me by my biological parents, but the world is so big, how can I find them... "
"You... do you have a dark red, moon-shaped birthmark on your lower back?" After hesitating for a while, the old woman slowly asked the most critical question in a tone full of expectation and uneasiness. After Ya'er heard this question, she was completely stunned: "How did you know?" Only Sun Tu and herself knew this.
The answer was naturally very clear. The old woman burst into tears immediately, rushed forward, and hugged Ya'er into her arms: "My poor daughter, after twenty years, I finally found her." is you… "
At this time, even though they were prepared, the other three people in the room were still completely confused. Hu Rong opened her mouth wide with a look of disbelief. This actually made Ya'er find her biological mother
It turned out that Ya'er was indeed the youngest daughter that the old woman gave birth to twenty-three years ago. At that time, she and her husband regarded her as the apple of their eyes. But no one expected that on a Lantern Festival night when she was three years old, when her family went out to enjoy the lanterns, because there were too many people on the road, and some kidnappers were really clever, people would actually be let out of their sights. My daughter was stolen from me.
This incident was like a bolt from the blue for the whole family. Even though they were actually court officials and held some power of city defense, when the father began to use these powers to find the whereabouts of his daughter, the kidnappers had already passed through them. His own channels brought Yaer out of Bianjing.
In this regard, for twenty years, the family tried all kinds of methods but failed to achieve anything. The mother spent many nights in pain and blame herself, crying constantly. She also went to the temple every year to seek blessings from Bodhisattva, and she was a vegetarian all year round. , but still couldn't find any clues about this little daughter.
But who would have thought that when everyone no longer had any hope, the daughter they had lost for twenty years would actually come back to them, and in such an unexpected way.
After listening to Ya'er's story, Sun Tu was stunned for a while, and then he had to sigh: "The mysteries of things in the world are really inexplicable. By the way, are you sure they are really Is this your family?”
"Well..." Tears were hanging on Ya'er's face. She began to cry when she got to the emotional point just now: "My mother not only knew about the birthmark on my lower back, but also told me that other brothers and sisters in the family also had such a jade pendant. ." After saying that, he took out the jade pendant that was already hanging on his chest.
On the front of the jade pendant is a cluster of exquisitely carved orchids, and on the back is a small word "ya" - in fact, the name "ya'er" comes from it. Otherwise, given her status as an adopted mother and the knowledge of the Sun family, she estimated that her current name should be Erya or something that would be more normal.
"Actually, my name is already on it. My name is Di Lanya... My ninth brother also has a similar jade pendant. It has an eagle on it, followed by the word Yang, so his name is Di Yingyang. There is also the second brother, his name is Di Huchen.”
They had the same jade pendant, and they even knew the hidden birthmarks on their bodies. In addition, Ya'er and their identities were not easily known at that time. Sun Tu was almost certain that the other party was Ya'er's family member who had been separated for many years.
Then, his eyes narrowed again: "Di Yingyang, Di Huchen..." He had obviously heard the names of these two people. For a moment, he took a deep breath and stared at them with strange eyes. Ya'er's pretty face said: "Could it be said that your biological father is actually the Marquis of Gemen, Mr. Di?"
While Ya'er nodded in confusion, Sun Tu's breathing suddenly tightened. At the same time, some previous doubts were solved. No wonder the people cheered when he entered the city. It turned out that someone was helping his brother-in-law...
