Chapter 32: Wu Chuanzong
"Thank you, kind sir, for saving our lives!"
Water Monkey led the boy over, and the boy immediately tried to kneel and kowtow, but Water Monkey quickly pulled him up.
Qin Sang glanced around and motioned for Zheng Kun to stay alert. They led the children into a nearby grove.
Qin Sang looked the boy up and down, asking, "What's your name? How old are you?"
"My name is Xiao Liuzi. I'm fifteen. I’ve had no parents since I was a child and don’t have a proper name or surname."[1]
"Have you ever studied?"
"When I was begging, a teacher took me in and let me stay in the school overnight. I listened in on lessons for three years, but after the teacher passed away, I was thrown out."
"Did you all come from the north?"
"Yes, there was a drought in the north, so we all headed south. Their parents died on the way, so I took them with me to beg for food."
