The system said that Deng Ai substituted the question and asked Liu Mang to ask Deng Ai himself, of course, it was a joke. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, in the process of communicating with Deng Ai, Liu Mang really found the answer to the question.

It's just that listening to Deng Ai tell about his past experience is quite sad......

Nanyang Xinye Deng clan is a prominent family inherited from the Warring States period.

But what pushed the Deng family to the top was Deng Yu and Deng Zhonghua, the founding heroes of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the top of the 28th Yuntai.

Although Deng Ai is also surnamed Deng, it is said that he is related to the Xinye Deng family, but there is no way to verify it.

However, one is a famous family, and the other is a dilapidated and poor family.

Don't say that the Xinye Deng family doesn't recognize this family, that is, people recognize this family, and Deng Ai's family has no face to climb this family of wealth.

Deng Ai's family is not prosperous. Having lost his father since childhood, Deng Ai and his mother depended on each other.

At that time, Deng Ai did not have a big name. Like other children from poor families, he only has nicknames such as cats and dogs.

Although the family is poor, her mother still saves money to provide Deng Ai with reading and literacy.

coincided with a disaster year, and Deng Ai's family couldn't survive it.

Just in time for Yuan Shu to move the capital of the puppet Han court to Shouchun, Deng Ai's family, following the team that moved the capital, fled to Yingchuan.

Via Xuchang. Deng Ai had read books and heard of the daimyo of the four chiefs of Yingchuan.

One of the four elders of Yingchuan, Taiqiu Ling Chen Yu, that is, Chen Qun's grandfather, died and was buried in Xuchang.

Deng Ai, admiring Chen Yu's high esteem, specially went to Chen Yu's tomb to pay respects.

The two sentences on Chen Yu's tombstone, "Literature is a model for scholars, and behavior is a rule", which means that Chen Yu's articles and virtues can be called the norms and models for scholars to learn.

Deng Ai was deeply touched. Then he took one of the words, named himself Deng Fan, and crowned the word Shize.

……

Deng Ai's family also had a difficult time in Yingchuan.

Later, Liu Mang defeated Yuan Shu and captured Yingchuan and Nanyang.

Liu Mang implemented a new policy in the two places, reducing taxes and recuperating in life.

Deng Ai's family returned to their hometown Xinye and started a new life.

Deng Ai gave himself a good name, he was very proud, and it was inevitable to show off to people of the same race.

I never thought that Xinye Deng had a son, and his name was also Deng Fan.

People are from famous families, how can they share the same name with the children of poor families.

Xinye Deng ordered Deng Ai to change his name, and Deng Ai had to be forced to give up the proud "Deng Fan Deng Shize......

People, with low status, must be angry.

Losing property, land, and houses is the fate of the poor at the bottom.

For the poor, losing their lives is not terrible, it is just a relief.

It is the most tragic thing that the proud name is taken away by others, and even the right to choose a name is deprived!

There is no way......

It can only be renamed "Deng Ai".

And "Deng Ai" is not a proper name.

Deng Ai stuttered since he was a child and was ridiculed.

Deng Ai secretly vowed to get rid of his stuttering.

However, stuttering is not something that can be changed by swearing!

Deng Ai is really tenacious......

After years of hard work, whenever I speak, I grit my teeth first, hold out the word "hey", and then I can say the next words smoothly.

Although I couldn't completely overcome this natural problem, I managed to overcome half of it o(╯□╰)o

And the people around him called him "hey".

To call it like this, it naturally has the meaning of ridicule and insult.

Although Deng Ai is angry, everyone calls it that, and he is helpless.

Others ridicule it, it's not scary.

The point is that you can't look down on yourself!

"Deng Fan" can't be used, so I simply changed my name and called it "Deng Ai"!

Wait until the day of your emergence and see who laughs at whom!

……

The family is poor, has little labor, and has little land, making it difficult to continue life.

The Wuguan channel was opened, and many people from the same township crossed the mountains and ran to Hongnong to transport goods.

Although it is risky, there are people who make a lot of money.

So, Deng Ai joined the hawkers.

Trafficking in illicit goods to feed a family is one of the purposes.

Crossing the mountains is where Deng Ai's interest lies.

Deng Ai likes to read, and is more interested in the military. In particular, he likes to study various mountain terrains and study various tactics.

During the trafficking, Deng Ai studied it when he had nothing to do.

A poor man who couldn't even eat enough to eat, and on the way to traffic goods, he had nothing to do and gestured against the mountains, saying "hey, hey" that it was suitable for camping here, and how many soldiers were suitable for stationing there......

Fellow vendors, all sorts of ridicule. But Deng Ai has long been accustomed to it, and his resistance to all kinds of taunts and ridicule is full, and he completely ignores it.

Even, take those ridicule and ridicule as cheers!

It's also a coincidence.

This time he trafficked goods and encountered a large group of bandits.

The fellow vendors and the Nanyang messenger were stunned.

At this time, Deng Ai stepped forward!

Although he has no ability to deal with a large group of bandits, Deng Ai can run!

Relying on his understanding of the mountainous terrain, Deng Ai led the hawkers to run with the top and fell countless times. Although he was embarrassed, he finally saved his life.

It was because of this experience that Deng Ai was able to meet Liu Mang.

……

Deng Ai's experience made Liu Mang full of emotion.

In the past, Liu Mang always felt that his background was bitter.

But compared to Deng Ai, he is simply living in a comfortable nest!

Although the land is scarce, it is self-sufficient.

Although the house is broken, it can shelter from the wind and rain.

Although the food is coarse, you can eat and drink to your heart's content.

Although the family is poor, in childhood and adolescence, he has always been accompanied and cared for by his parents.

No matter how hard and poor you are, at least no one will come to grab your name!

Because of his previous life, Liu Mang always felt that his name was awkward.

However, looking at Deng Ai, who was forced to give up his beloved name and use the word "Ai" full of ridicule as his name, Liu Mang finally felt how happy it was to have a name exclusive to himself!

Famous, dignity too!

The name is honorable, others can't call it directly!

"Shizai."

"......" Deng Ai Muran......

Although the crown word "Shizai", the people around him have never called him so respectfully!

Mother, call his milk name.

Others will only call him "hey, hey".

Deng Ai now knows Liu Mang's identity.

As the most powerful Liu Taiwei in the dynasty, he was the first person to call himself with his words!

"Shizai?"

Liu Mang shouted again, but Deng Ai still didn't react.

Deng Ai was not moved, but he didn't react for a long time, Liu Mang was calling him!

I finally came back to my senses, and the excitement came belatedly.

"Hey...... Taiwei ......" Deng Ai's eyes were full of tears.

"Saddened to be forced to give up your beloved name?"

To say that it is not sad is a lie. However, Deng Ai's heart has already been wounded and there is nowhere to hurt.

"Hey", nodded, and shook his head again.

"A name represents dignity, but it's just a title. When I was young, the villagers called me 'egg baby', and I was helpless. The dignity of the name is earned by oneself. If you feel sorry for yourself, then, no matter how profound the meaning of the name, it is just a title. ”

"Hey...... Got it. ”

"The name can change, but the heart can't! In the name of Ai, I hope and believe that you can fight for the dignity you deserve for this name! ”

"Yes!" This time, Deng Ai didn't stutter at all, and nodded firmly.

Liu Mang sent Deng Ai's shoulder hard.

"Hey...... The lieutenant said that he had something to ask, what did he dare to ask? ”

"Oh, I wonder if there is a path in the mountains that leads to Yongliang."

"Yes!"

"Yes?! Is there really a way to get through? Deng Ai replied so affirmatively that he didn't even stutter, which made Liu Mang incredulous.

"Yes!" Deng Ai repeated, and replied in a very firm tone: "Hey...... Only people dare to walk the road, and there is no road! (To be continued.) )
