There are several villages located more than twenty miles northeast of Luoyang City.

This place was originally a wilderness and was uninhabited. After all, according to the previous regulations of the imperial court, it started from mountains in the south, the Yellow River in the north, the Hulao in the east, and the Hangu in the west. There could only be one Luoyang city between them, and no other villages or towns, to demonstrate the majesty of the Han capital.

However, after Liu He ascended the throne, this regulation was abolished. Due to the increasing stability of the Sili area under his rule, the business and traveling in and out of the country were very prosperous. In addition, this generation of rivers and streams were densely filled with water and fertile fields, more than a dozen new villages of large and small were developed in more than ten years.

After the completion of Yunhai County, Liu He ordered the engineering team led by He Chang to re-plan the villages and towns around Luoyang City, water systems, buildings, farmland, roads, etc.

With these conditions, many small caravans, after entering Luoyang City, could not afford the expenses of living in the city, and would rush to various villages and towns to rest before closing the city gate. In addition, their farmland output and various handmade products made these villages prosper quickly.

On this day, half a month has passed since the Battle of Hulao Pass.

The complete unification of northern prefectures and counties, including Yuzhou, is a major event that is naturally gratifying for the Han people under Liu He.

Therefore, after the war, the originally tense Luoyang area became more prosperous than before.

However, at this time, in one of the villages called Sanshui Village, on the shore where the three streams gather, there was a huge ginkgo tree that needed to be hugged by two people.

In early autumn, the leaves of the ginkgo tree gradually began to turn yellow. Such a huge canopy-like crown, once all the leaves turn golden, it is really a beautiful scenery.

However, a handsome young man sitting under the tree frowned, held his chin, and looked ahead with his eyes blankly, as if he didn't care about the scenery.

"Who am I...who am I..."

While the man was talking to himself, a girl trotted over not far away.

"Iron Head...Iron Head...It's time to eat..."

The girl's crisp sound like a lark immediately pulled the man's thoughts back.

He turned his head and looked over. As soon as he saw the girl, his sad face immediately turned into a smile.

"Xiaojuan, you are here."

In response, the man stood up and went straight to meet him.

"Hehe, Brother Tietou is looking for memories here again?" The girl was innocent and warmed up the man's heart.

"Yes, every time I sit under this ginkgo tree, I can calm my heart down. Perhaps only in this way can I clearly find my lost memories."

The girl smiled and said, "Actually, even if Brother Tietou doesn't remember what happened before, it doesn't matter. Isn't it good to live here?"

The man touched her head: "Of course I'm happy with life here, but I forgot my name and who my parents are. I always feel that something is missing in my heart."

The girl nodded: "That's true. When I was young, my father went to the mountain to hunt and didn't come back for several days. My brother and I were both anxious and wept, thinking something had happened to him. You forgot your parents and haven't seen them for so long, so they must be very anxious."

The man rubbed his temples and said, "I won't talk about these things anymore. This is not something I can remember just by thinking about it. Let's go and go home."

The two of them talked and laughed all the way, but soon arrived at the front of a small courtyard in the village. As soon as they pushed open the gate and walked in, they heard a somewhat sarcastic voice.

"Oh, I actually remember the meal time. I even thought you had lost your memory and forgot everything."

The man seemed to have been used to this voice and was completely unsurprising, but after hearing this, the girl pouted.

"Mom, why do you always treat Tietou Brother like this?"

A middle-aged woman with a slightly fat body began to look at the man, then quickly stepped forward and pulled the girl over.

"Stinky girl, I just knew him for a few days and my elbow turned out? I care about his food and living, what's wrong with him? I'm not a relative or accustomed to him. I'm not a relative or accustomed to him. I have to stay in our family for so many days. He eats more food alone than you and your brother combined. Our family is not rich and noble, so how can we afford it?"

She said this with confidence, without any slightest avoidance, and even said it to the man on purpose.

"Okay, let's say a few words." Inside the house, a middle-aged man knocked on the table and shouted: "Tietou was wearing armor at that time and was floating in the river for a long time. He must have been a bloody battle with Cao Zhe and loyal to the country. How could you be so mean?"

The woman glared at him: "So what if you are a soldier? When our family went to the city to sell bamboo baskets and duck eggs, they paid a lot of taxes to the city. They were given our money and food, so it was reasonable to fight to the death. Why do I have to raise it if I get hurt?"

The man seemed a little afraid. After the woman pushed back, he stopped talking in disappointment after he finally mustered up the courage to say something.

A little boy ran out of the house. He grabbed Tietou's hand, but looked admiring.

"Brother Tietou is so powerful. Dad can't move such a heavy millstone. He can move from this end of the yard to that end. When I grow up, I will be as powerful as Brother Tietou!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the woman grabbed the boy's ear: "I'm not dead yet. Do you want to join the army? You are the only one in the family? Do you want our Ye family to break the incense? Go back to have dinner quickly."

The boy looked aggrieved, but he did not dare to disobey his mother's words. He could only walk back into the house and look back at the iron head as he walked.

The girl stood up for justice: "Mom, the armor left by the Tietou brother two days ago was spotted by a caravan and said it was made of good iron. Didn't it be sold for a lot of money?"

The woman said angrily: "You stinky girl, are you embarrassed to mention it? You sold less than 2,000 yuan in total, plus two pieces of linen cloth. You girl, you took them all to buy medicine for him. You also took one piece of cloth to make clothes for him. They all said that women are too old to stay. Today, I have seen it for my mother. I have only known each other for a few days, and my heart has flew with me. I have raised you for so many years in vain."

"Mom, what are you talking about? Whose heart flew with him..." The girl suddenly became a little shy.

I didn't take Tietou's many mean words to the woman. It's been so many days that I've been used to it.

He bowed to the woman and said softly: "Don't be upset at the auntie. When I recover my memory and return home, I will definitely make good compensation and will never let the auntie's family suffer."

After receiving this promise, the woman didn't know if she really believed it or was just tired, so she glared at Tietou and turned back to the house. The girl quickly pulled Tietou in to have dinner together.

Soon after dinner, the middle-aged man said, "As these days, I have weaved some bamboo baskets, bamboo mats, and bamboo baskets, which are enough to fill a full car. I saw the duck eggs at home and saved more than fifty. Later, I, Tietou and two children, went to Luoyang City together, sold these goods, and bought some meat to come back."

"Okay, we can go to the city again." The little boy seemed most excited. He ran over and grabbed Tietou's hand and said happily: "Brother Tietou, have you been to Luoyang City before? The city is so fun, and there are many, many delicious foods. This time I will take you there and ask my father to buy you delicious food."

The girl shaved his nose and teased, "Look, you are just greedy, but you just said you were buying it for Brother Tieto."

At this time, the woman complained, "You all went to the city to make fun of each other, but they left me alone at home? No, I want to go too. I also want to make a new dress for myself and my nie."

"Okay, go together, go together. You go pack the duck eggs, I'll go get a cart."

After the man walked away, not long after, he drove a donkey cart filled with various bamboo crafts products to the front yard.

He put his daughter and son in the car and asked the woman to go up and drive, but he and Tietou walked along with the donkey cart together.
