Chapter 1893 Distress

With the help of the whole village, the child's parents first found a place to bury the child.

Niu Shun was penniless, and the child's parents did not leave any inheritance. They could only buy two cheap straw mats to wrap the child. They could not leave it outside.

The people in the village were quite nice. Although they did not contribute money, at least they contributed their efforts to help arrange it properly.

There was one big problem left, which was relatively tricky.

According to Jia Zhengjin's own idea, the current gambling game was the most important. Any existence that might affect the gambling game, such as this inexplicable child, should not be kept around.

But for the sake of the gambling game, it was necessary to ensure that the identity would not be exposed, so as not to let Yue Lang see the flaws and affect his actions.

Therefore, everything had to be done in accordance with the behavioral rules that were consistent with the current identity. Considering Niu Shun's honest personality, it was absolutely different from his own choice.

This created a contradiction. Keeping the child would obviously affect his plan. If he did not take him in, he would also be suspected and reveal flaws, affecting the gambling game.

It was not a good thing to think about it.

Find an opportunity for Nuwa to ask indirectly, and learn from the real Niu Shun that his father did mention a friend before his death. They met by chance when they went to the county to sell firewood. They got along very well and became as close as brothers after a long time. They almost burned yellow paper to swear brotherhood.

And from the child, it was learned that the deceased father happened to have the same name as Niu Shun knew, both of them were called Chu Wei.

In addition, the other party clearly knew the names of Niu Shun's deceased parents, and there was a letter specially written to Niu Shun's father, which was also signed by Chu Wei, so it must be true.

The other party obviously didn't know the situation of Niu Shun's family. It was estimated that he didn't move around because of his poor health, and didn't know that Niu Shun's father had died long ago. Because both his husband and wife were seriously ill and couldn't be cured, there was no one around to trust, so he could only put all his hopes on Niu Shun's father, who he thought was the most reliable and had the best relationship with.

As the best friend, he thought he could treat his children well.

When the couple passed away, their children obediently came to seek refuge with the suicide note.

Originally, he should have buried his parents first, but there were no relatives or friends around to help him. A twelve-year-old child would not abandon his parents in the wilderness to be eaten by wild beasts, right?

The child did not think of anything else. He simply pulled the only wooden cart in the family, took the only belongings - a few tattered clothes and some small copper coins, and brought his parents all the way with his thin body. His hands and feet were worn out.

It was horrible.

Since his father entrusted himself to that family, he thought they were trustworthy. In this case, they should also help him bury his parents. This was the child's simple idea.

The child got what he wanted. After burying his parents, he also got help from the villagers of Niulan Village and ate a bowl of hot white rice. He was exhausted and said he wanted to help Niu Shun with work when he came back, but he accidentally fell asleep on the bed.

It was late at night and the villagers went home to sleep.

Jia Zhengjin lit the oil lamp, squatted beside the bed with his chin in the dim firelight, staring at the sleeping child and sighing.

What should I do now? There is one more burden.

I am Niu Shun, a simple man, and I cannot drive this child away at will.

If I keep the child by my side, what about my gambling?

Go up the mountain with Niu Xi to the maze to get the treasure, and leave the child alone at home? It seems inappropriate...

Take the child with you? That is even more inappropriate!

The most terrible thing is that all the villagers have seen this child, and it is impossible to pretend that he has not come and send the child to Nuwa...

It is a headache! If I can't handle this child properly, I will have trouble every day.

I have been busy until now, except that I know that the father of this child is Chu Wei and the mother is Chu Heshi, nothing else is clear.

The couple who buried him did not set up any inscriptions, just a small mound of earth, and did not leave the child's name, so I don't know what it is.

Even Jia Zhengjin still hasn't figured out whether the thin and dirty child lying in front of him is a boy or a girl.

Of course, this is not the point.

The point is how to prevent this child from affecting his gambling? Especially in close contact, I need to use Niu Shun's identity to take care of the child of his father's old friend. This is different from a person, and it is easy to be seen through.

The time spent with him will definitely test my acting skills and reaction ability, and also test my determination to complete the gambling.

I must think of a way to deal with this situation...

I am still unfamiliar with this child and don't know his personality. It is not appropriate to leave the child at home or take him to the mountains to do things.

Even if I can find someone to watch for me during the day, there are still elders in the village who are willing to help. But I and Niu Xi will come back with treasures, and it is impossible to hide it from the children living in the same room.

Once the child speaks out quickly, the villagers will know immediately. At that time, not to mention the gambling problem, troubles will come one after another.

I want the child to not be able to influence me, and I have to let others not see the problem. Don't think that the honest "Niu Shun" has changed his personality and tries to get rid of the entrustment of his father's old friend.

What should I do?

After thinking about it, I suddenly had an idea.

Since it's a child, just send it to Wang Xu.

Wang Xu is a scholar, well-educated. He teaches children in the village to read and write, and collects a small amount of tuition.

This man is quite good. If you ask him, maybe you can use firewood instead of tuition and send the child there.

This way, there is no need to ask villagers to help take care of the child during the day.

Tell Wang Xu that the child will stay at his house before I deliver the firewood. When the firewood is delivered, I will pick up the child on the way.

In other words, before picking up the child, I have a certain amount of time to hide the treasure with Niu Xi.

If there is no Niu Xi, it would be more convenient to throw the treasure directly into the virtual backpack without worrying about being seen.

It's just that it's about the gambling, and we must consider all aspects, including Niu Xi. We can't be careless at all, and there can't be any flaws.

In short, I will go to Wang Xu to ask for help early tomorrow morning, and I must make him agree.

Only after dealing with the child's affairs can I continue the gambling.

As for after the gambling, let the real Niu Shun come back, it has nothing to do with me.

It's just a month of endurance. It's a little troublesome during this time, and I will be relieved after it's over.

I made up my mind and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There is still a small trouble next. This thatched house is really not big. The only bed is slept by this little guy. What should I do?

Sleep is not a problem for Jia Zhengjin, even if he doesn't sleep for a thousand years, it doesn't matter. But now Niu Shun is just an ordinary person. If he doesn't solve the sleeping problem, he will still be found out.

If the child accidentally tells others, it may reach Yue Lang's ears, and his identity may still be suspected, affecting the gambling.

Make a new bed?

It's very simple to make it with the system, but Niu Shun doesn't have such skills, which is a headache...
