Knife Back in The Scabbard Chapter 23

There was no such person as Finn Ye in the world, only a young boy named "Gu Xiao".

At that time, the world was in a bad state. The late emperor was dying, and several princes were fighting for power, but they had no time to take care of people's livelihood. As a result, there were refugees in the east and bandits in the west. The life of the common people can be described by a couplet. The first line is "live one day at a time", the second line is "die one after another", and adding a horizontal banner means "half dead".

I can’t even support myself, let alone raise a child?

According to Master Gu Qifang, she once spoke the truth after drinking. She said that she single-handedly charged into the bandit's lair and fought until it was dark and gloomy. It was a horrible sight with blood flowing like a river. In the end, she stepped over the corpses of bandits all over the mountains and finally picked out a baby who was still sucking his fingers from the pile of dead bodies. She felt that the child was lucky but seemed to have a weak brain, and she was afraid that no one would want him even if she paid him money, so she had to keep him as her apprentice.

Her surname was Gu, so the child took her surname. She thought that although giving birth to this child was not easy, the child should at least live a free and happy life, so she named the child "Gu Xiao".
