Chapter 326 The place you can't go back is called hometown
Tang Zhengzheng was thinking about the Star Tower when Ye Qianhan came in and told him, and Li Xiaoren, the instructor of Yisou Academy, came to find him with someone.
When Tang Zheng heard this, he took Tang Xiaotang and others to the gate of the world's Minglu to welcome Li Xiaoren, the chief instructor.
Several people walked to the door and saw Li Xiaoren with someone from afar, waiting at the door. When they approached, they saw that the person beside Li Xiaoren was indeed Ning Mo.
However, after being demoted to his hometown of slavery, Ning Mo was put on a coarse linen, his hair was cut a lot shorter, and a fresh tattoo of the word Tang Dynasty could be vaguely seen around his neck, announcing his identity.
"Hey, why do you have to do these formalisms?" Tang Zheng saw that whether it was tattooing or haircutting... These procedures should be done on purpose by the institutions that manage slaves, in order to provide humiliating stimulation to newly-departed slaves from a physiological and psychological perspective, so that he could understand his identity as soon as possible. It was different.
However, as a stranger who came to Xingyao Continent who valued human rights and equality in the world, Tang Zheng was very disliked by these methods. However, he followed the local customs. Even if he was willing to change these bad habits, he would not have the ability to do so.
"Instructor Li, go to my house to sit?" Tang Zheng stopped looking at Ning Mo and turned to invite Li Xiaoren.
"I'm not interested. I'm here to give you someone. This is Ning Mo's slave nameplate. Please hold it away. From now on, Ning Mo has no relationship with the Academy. This nameplate is also specially made by Bailianfang. It has been linked to another nameplate that penetrates into the Xingzhi acupoint in his body. If he has any unfair intentions, if you input the star power into this nameplate, he will have to surrender!" Li Xiaoren said while throwing a dark nameplate into Tang Zheng's hand.
Hearing Li Xiaoren's words, Tang Zheng couldn't help but weigh the dark nameplate in his hand repeatedly, but did not enter the star power to inspect the goods on the spot like most slave owners, causing the slaves to suffer, and used it as a warning, but casually put the dark nameplate away.
Li Xiaoren looked at Tang Zheng's reaction and frowned: "You'd better be careful. Ning Mo was born in a military intelligence camp. He didn't kill you before. It was because you were lucky. Since you insisted not to kill him, you wanted to take it for yourself, be careful not to lead the wolf into the house. Also, if the injury is healed, don't slack off. Go back to the school as soon as possible to continue class!"
After saying these words with half scolding and half warning, Li Xiaoren turned around and left, without any thoughts about talking more than Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng had no choice but to wave to Li Xiaoren's back with a smile, turned to look at Ning Mo who was still there. He lowered his head and didn't say anything, "Let's go, from today on, you will follow me. Don't worry, I will arrange all kinds of dirty and tiring work for you to make up for my previous losses."
In this way, the group returned to Tang Zheng's home. The regular residents of Tang Zheng's family also changed from four to five.
"Five people... This number is not auspicious. No, you have to add one or two people if you have the chance." Tang Zhenggang went home and muttered a few words on his own.
"Ah? Master, why are the five people not very auspicious? Is there any allusion?" Tang Xiaotang said curiously with sharp ears.
"Well, of course, it's because of the five people, which sounds like a five-nut mooncake!" Tang Zheng curled his lips.
"What kind of mooncake is a five-person person? Is it very big? A cake that takes five people to finish? Is it delicious?" Xiao Lingling immediately became interested when she heard what she had eaten.
"Five-nut mooncakes... are a classic dark dish that has been circulating in my hometown for many years. The taste is, of course, it is very unpalatable!" When it comes to the Five-nut mooncakes, Tang Zheng showed a look of memories, and his voice was a little low.
"Teacher, do you miss your hometown?" Xiao Lingling saw Tang Zheng's expression, pinched his fingers, opened her eyes wide and whispered.
"The places you can't reach are called faraway places, and the places you can't go back to are my hometown... Unexpectedly, I found the places you can't go back to my hometown." Tang Zheng shook his head, drove away some sadness in his heart, looked at Tang Xiaotang and others around him, and smiled and said, "Forget it, with you guys here, this is my second hometown. Don't look like I'm exiled. Be careful that I'll make a few five-nut mooncakes for you to taste!"
"Five-person mooncakes? Okay, Master keeps his word. I must eat that five-person mooncake. I can finish it alone. Master pulls the hook!" Xiao Lingling stood on tiptoe and hooked Tang Zheng's little finger.
"Little girl, it's said it's a five-nut mooncake, not a five-person mooncake... Well, I promise you that on August 15th, I will definitely invite you to eat the five-nut mooncake I made with myself." Tang Zheng rubbed Xiao Lingling's hair docilely and said with a smile.
The living room in the whole house was suddenly filled with a faint warmth of family reunion. Only Ning Mo was like an outsider, standing crampedly outside the circle of people. He watched Tang Zheng and Xiao Lingdang play, his eyes felt a little astringent.
"Okay, Ning Mo, you sit down too. Although you still owe me a lot of things, I am not a harsh creditor." Tang Zheng noticed Ning Mo standing outside the circle and waved to him.
Ning Mo nodded, found the shortest stool, sat half of his butt, leaned forward, as if he was ready to listen to Tang Zheng's instructions at any time.
When Tang Zheng saw him like this, he knew that he was clearly showing his slave identity. He sighed slightly, and was too lazy to talk about it. Instead, he asked about another thing that he had been interested in for a long time, which was also the thing that Ning Mo cares most about in his life: "Ning Mo, tell me the story of you and your sister."
Ning Mo heard Tang Zheng's words, just like he was on the court ring that day, and his body suddenly shook. He hated Yingshan assassinating Tang Zheng in order to avenge his revenge. He gave up the dignity of a warrior and would rather be demoted to slaves, as well as to avenge him.
He thought that although Tang Zheng promised to help him, he didn't know when he would wait. He had already made a mental preparation for patience. Unexpectedly, less than a quarter of an hour after he arrived at Tang Zheng's house, Tang Zheng took the initiative to mention this matter, which made him excited.
Ning Mo swallowed several saliva, and spoke slowly in a low voice: "All this starts with my retirement from the military intelligence battalion ten years ago due to injury."
