Chapter 140 Return (1)

Zhang Xiaohu thought for a while, his face returned to normal, and he said with a smile: "It's okay, Chief Security Officer Luo, I have little experience and didn't notice this aspect. I didn't expect my brother to come here to bring us so much trouble. All right, Xiaohua will live with me, and I will immediately notify the gentleman who accompanied the team to keep records, and when I get back to the Escort, how about I settle the score with the Escort?"

Escort Luo smiled and said: "That's very good. Deputy Escort Zhang, don't take it to heart. We leaders should always pay attention to these details, otherwise it's not a good thing to let others point out or sue the Escort Bureau." , I am also right about things and not about people, so please don't mind."

Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile: "You are doing it for my own good, how could I blame it? If such a situation happens in the future, please remind Chief Luo as soon as possible. Well, if there is nothing else, the subordinate will leave."

Luo Escort smiled and waved his hands and said: "No, I can rest assured that you handle the matter, you have worked hard this journey, and I will definitely give you credit in front of Fourth Master Wen later."

Zhang Xiaohu quickly clasped his fists and said, "Boss Luo is working hard, I'm just playing drums."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiaohu walked out of the main room vigorously.

Na Luo looked at Zhang Xiaohu's back, with a contemptuous smile on his lips.

Zhang Xiaohu went to the yard, first called everyone, told everyone the news about going back to Pingyang City, and asked everyone to make preparations in advance, everyone was very happy when they heard it, they all cheered and were about to leave.

Zhang Xiaohu waited for everyone's cheers to subside, then stopped the gentleman accompanying the team, and told him in front of everyone, asking him to record in detail everything about his younger brother Zhang Xiaohua from today until he returned to the Lotus Escort in Pingyang City accommodation situation.

The gentleman was taken aback, and asked: "Boss Zhang, what is this for?"

Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile: "My younger brother came to our team unexpectedly, which will definitely increase our cost. His food, drink, and accommodation will take up the money of the brothers in the Escort. You should record it well. When I go to the Escort, I will settle the bill together." .”

The gentleman was puzzled, and said, "He's just a child, what expenses can he have? I think it's better to forget it."

The people around were also very puzzled, and Yuan Changqing yelled loudly: "Don't worry, Zhang Touer, Zhang Xiaohua is not only your younger brother, but now also our younger brother. What is it if he eats and drinks here? Why divide it?" Is it so clear? It seems that our brothers are divided."

Zhang Xiaohu listened, smiled at everyone, and didn't say much, just let the gentleman who accompanied the team keep a good record.

The yard is not big, Zhang Xiaohua was in the hut, and she could hear clearly. When Zhang Xiaohu entered the room, she quickly grabbed him and asked nervously, "Second Brother, what's going on? Did I cause you trouble by coming here?" ?”

Zhang Xiaohu pinched his little face with a smile, and said: "It's nothing, isn't it just to give them some food expenses? Not to mention that the little money you got yesterday is more than enough. Don't tell me you don't have any money when you go out in Huanxi Villa?" Subsidies? Just give them, why let others talk about it?"

"Oh~" Zhang Xiaohua suddenly realized, and said, "It couldn't be that big bodyguard Luo said it, why is he so serious?"

Zhang Xiaohu patted his little head, and said lovingly: "You are still young, you will know when you grow up."

Zhang Xiaohua nodded thoughtfully, this guy's brain is very bright now, although Zhang Xiaohu doesn't want to say more, but since he has already pointed it out, how can he not have a little understanding?

It's a pity that I didn't really come here to do business, but I don't know if Huanxi Villa can give me a subsidy? If not, but I want to give some of my harvest yesterday to the Lotus Escort, I feel a little distressed when I think about it, and immediately feel a lot of headache and hatred for that Escort Luo.

Zhang Xiaohua wasn't the only one who cursed the head of escort Luo? The people in the courtyard were very surprised when they heard Zhang Xiaohu's words. Seeing that Zhang Xiaohu didn't explain, they all secretly grabbed the gentleman accompanying the team and asked,

That gentleman also said that he didn't quite understand, but after deliberation, everyone knew the whole story, and they all secretly scolded Boss Luo for being narrow-minded. At the same time, more people gave Zhang Xiaohu a thumbs up. The status in the hearts of the people is judged.

In the next few days, it was very normal, Zhang Xiaohua was in this small courtyard, if she didn't go out a step, she would still make herself pay for the joke, why go out and waste it?

In fact, the more reason is that Zhang Xiaohua has been out alone for a while, now that she has found an organization with great difficulty, she really doesn't want to go out again, and besides, where can she go in such a world of ice and snow? Going to the wild to look for plums in the snow? Please, Zhang Xiaohua just came out there, how could she be interested?

Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua had just educated the ruffians here, to be honest, Zhang Xiaohu was really afraid that they would gather people to take revenge, so he repeatedly told Zhang Xiaohua not to let Zhang Xiaohua out of the courtyard.

And Zhang Xiaohua also likes this kind of life very much. When she has nothing to do in the morning, noon and night, she practices boxing in the yard. Anyway, there are still many troopers and bodyguards in the yard who also practice boxing. Zhang Xiaohua also likes it. It wasn't eye-catching, but Yu Lao's sword moves couldn't be practiced, and Zhang Xiaohua's hands were itchy, so he could only play a little in the room.

What pleased Zhang Xiaohua the most was that he actually found a few travel notes from the gentleman accompanying the team, which talked about the customs and customs of various places. I didn’t read it, and I didn’t want to borrow it, but seeing Zhang Xiaohua’s longing eyes, my heart softened, so I only kept one copy, and borrowed the rest from Zhang Xiaohua. Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua spent time reading and writing in her busy time, and reading and writing in her free time. The leisurely life of practicing martial arts.

Compared with Zhang Xiaohua's leisure, Zhang Xiaohu is busy with his feet on the ground. He handles the up and down affairs of the bodyguard team, while the head of bodyguard Luo is just a hand-off shopkeeper, setting out the bodyguard team, negotiating with merchants, etc. , Naturally, there are too many, there is nothing to do, Zhang Xiaohu is not in the yard every day, so naturally he can't even see Zhang Xiaohua's face.

However, what makes Zhang Xiaohua envious is that Zhang Xiaohu's way of practicing martial arts is different from his. Every night when he comes back, Zhang Xiaohu will sit cross-legged and meditate, and occasionally do Liuhe boxing. When Zhang Xiaohu is practicing internal skills, Zhang Xiaohua stays He didn't dare to move, for fear of disturbing the second brother. And most of the time, Zhang Xiaohu waited for Zhang Xiaohua to fall asleep before practicing his kung fu.

After being so busy for a few days, everyone in the bodyguard team packed up their belongings and negotiated with the merchants. Today, everyone who was eager to return home finally waited for the day of departure.

It was a sunny day with bright sunshine. Although the snow had not yet melted, the north wind was blowing and there was not much chill. It was a good day suitable for traveling.

At the gate of the small courtyard, the bodyguard team’s stuff was loaded into four large carts, and a lot of horses were tied to the trees next to it. Zhang Xiaohua put the second brother’s stuff in a carriage, and looked enviously at the carriage. The escort and trooper next to the horse, he has grown up so much that he has never really ridden a horse.

Not long after, horses came running from the alley, it was Zhang Xiaohu and others who picked up the merchant's convoy and came back. The merchant had more carriages, and there were ten or twenty escorts, so the two teams formed a team together. The team, with a little order, is ready to set off.

Eating, drinking and fighting in the same yard on weekdays, Zhang Xiaohua didn't feel that there were too many people. It was only after this departure that she realized that there were dozens of people in the bodyguard team.

At present, it is a part of Zhang Xiaohu's men who are traveling to explore the way, and most of them are the head of Luo Da and his bodyguards, protecting the merchants and their carriages and goods. On the carriage in the middle , all had a huge pennant with the word "Lotus" embroidered on it, and Zhang Xiaohu and the rest of the riders were behind the tailgate. Except for the accountant and a few handymen, everyone else was riding tall horses. , with a weapon hanging from his waist, it is very majestic.

Although there were many people and cars in the bodyguard team, they were all well-trained, and they were not chaotic at all. Not long after, they had already left the town and embarked on the official road. At first Zhang Xiaohua thought it would be inconvenient to move around with so many cars and people, but the facts proved that the speed of this convoy was not much slower than Ouyan's four carriages.

Although Zhang Xiaohua wanted to ride a horse by himself, he was still arranged to sit in a carriage with the accountant and others. At first, Zhang Xiaohu didn't have any extra time to take care of him, so he entrusted Yuan Changqing and others to look at Zhang Xiaohua. When they got to the main road, the convoy moved forward steadily. Looking happy, she asked, "Xiaohua, we're on our way now, we're going back to Pingyang City, why are you unhappy?"

Zhang Xiaohua pouted and said: "Of course I am happy to be able to visit Pingyang City, but I can't always ride in a carriage. I also want to ride a horse. I see there are some unmanned horses behind. Can you let me ride?" ah?"

"Haha," Zhang Xiaohu laughed when he heard this, and said, "So it's like this, Xiaohua, it's not that I don't let you ride a horse. This horse riding is also a technical job. If you have never ridden before, you have to learn how to ride it first." It will work. The horses in our Escort are used to running outside, and they are very hot-tempered. They are not suitable for you to ride and learn. When you go back to the Escort, find a gentle horse. You can learn it first. .”

After Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she realized that she had to learn how to ride a horse, and not just anyone could ride a horse. However, he still didn't give up, and said, "The horse behind looks very docile, too? Let me try riding it."

Zhang Xiaohu heard this, and said with a straight face: "Xiao Hua, don't be self-willed, this is a dart, how can I make you mess around? The horse behind looks very docile, but it's different when you ride it. What's more, the horse behind A few horses are kept as spares, if there are any problems with the horses in front, they will be used, and you can’t ride blindly now.”

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua rolled her eyes helplessly, and stopped talking.

In fact, this person is also strange, just like Zhang Xiaohua, when he is alone, he does things and thinks like an adult, even meticulous and mature, but if there are relatives or elders around him, he will restore the innocence of a child, It really looks like a teenager, perhaps, this is the inertia and dependence of people.

Since she couldn't ride a horse, Zhang Xiaohua stopped pestering her and obediently looked at the scenery.

The scenery here seems to be different from the previous one. Although the snow in winter has not yet melted, there are some green plants tenaciously surviving in the fields and fields beside the road. Playful children, leading puppies, sprinkled joy on the snow, leaving strings of plum blossoms in the white fields.

The speed of the carriage was very fast, and the howling cool wind poured into the car. Zhang Xiaohua habitually covered up the cotton-padded jacket. This cotton-padded jacket belonged to the second brother Zhang Xiaohu, and his jacket had already been washed by Zhang Xiaohu. When he got up, it was hard to change that Zhang Xiaohu was so sad that he wanted to cry. His younger brother was in the new year, and he hadn't got any new clothes to wear, and even the autumn clothes were cut open with a knife. He only hated the short time to make cotton clothes. Zhang Xiaohua repeatedly claimed that she was not cold, but how could Zhang Xiaohu believe it? He just kept forcing him to wear it, no, the clothes were much bigger, and the wind could get in.

The accountant next to him looked at it, shrunk his neck, and asked, "Xiaohua, is it cold?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "No, Mr. Mo, it's not cold at all."

Mr. Mo smiled and said: "This is a sensible child. It's okay. If it's cold, I still have a shawl here. Of course, it's also very big, but it can also block the wind."

Zhang Xiaohua was speechless, and said with a smile: "It's okay, although it's a bit cold, but I can bear it, how can young people grow fast if they don't freeze?"

Sometimes it is also strange, Zhang Xiaohua is obviously not cold, but when he says it is not cold, others think that he said that because he does not have clothes that fit, and think that he is very sensible, so they should care about it, so Zhang Xiaohua also If I have a long-term mind, it’s okay if I don’t tell the truth, I’ll tell half-truths.

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the scenery for a while, and got a little tired, so she asked: "Mr. Mo, I want to ask you a question."

Mr. Mo said, "Okay, what's the problem?"

Zhang Xiaohua said strangely: "Mr. Mo, I feel that the weather here and the scenery outside seem to be different from Pingyang City. I think at this time, Pingyang City should be three feet frozen, the wind is cold, and the snow is thick. And the leaves are all gone, how can it be like here, although there is a lot of snow, but it feels a lot too cold, the wind is mild, and there are still some green things over there, still growing."

Mr. Mo smiled and said: "You are right, Zhang Xiaohua. The climate here is indeed different from that of Pingyang City. The climate here is very mild, and the surrounding area is very humid, which makes you feel less cold than Pingyang City."

Zhang Xiaohua asked: "Why is that?"

Mr. Mo said: "It's very simple, because this place is in the southeast of Pingyang City, and it is close to the sea."

"Sea? Ouch." Zhang Xiaohua yelled when she heard this, and said, "I forgot, I haven't seen the sea yet when I come here!"

Zhang Xiaohua patted the back of her head remorsefully, a few days before leaving, why didn't she think of looking at the sea when she was so bored? The book said that the sea stretches as far as the eye can see, the sea and the sky are the same color, and the scenery is very magnificent. At that time, I let myself yearn for it. Now that I am here, why have I lost the opportunity for nothing?

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's annoyed look, Mr. Mo said with a smile: "It's okay, I didn't see it this time, you can see it next time, this town is just a small bay next to the sea, you can't see too far, the sea is magnificent I still can't appreciate it properly, but if I have the opportunity, I will go out to sea by boat, it will be enjoyable."

Zhang Xiaohua smiled wryly, that's all she could do.

Then, he asked again: "Then tell me, is this weather related to the sea?"

Mr. Mo said: "This town is close to the sea, so the climate is naturally very humid, and the water in the sea will not freeze, so it can affect the surrounding climate. Moreover, this place is closer to the south than Pingyang City. , so you feel that this place is much warmer than Pingyang City."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua nodded half-understood, then asked again as if thinking of something, "Mr. Mo, if you go all the way to the south, won't it be warmer?"

Mr. Mo said with a smile: "Yes, it is said that even to the far south, there is also a piece of sea, where the summer is hot all year round, and no snowflakes have been seen."

"Ah? That's it." Zhang Xiaohua exclaimed for a while, and said, "In that case, children there won't be able to make snowmen and have snowball fights. It's really pitiful."

Mr. Mo said: "That's true, but they also have their own fun, which you don't have. Moreover, going further north, the extreme north is said to be the sea, which is frozen all year round, and there are more mountains than mountains." There are big ice blocks that are still tall, and the people there live in houses that are covered with ice.”

"Ah? It's so strange." Zhang Xiaohua was horrified again, and said, "It's frozen all year round, so they don't even have the fun of bathing in the creek. It's really pitiful."

Mr. Mo said: "Actually, there are still many wonderful places in this world, but we don't know them. It would be great if one day we could travel all over the continent."

As he spoke, countless little stars flashed in Mr. Mo's eyes.

Zhang Xiaohua asked strangely: "Then why doesn't Mr. Mo go out for a walk? Although you can't travel all over the world, you can visit a corner first?"

Mr. Mo said helplessly: "There are too many unknown things in this world, and the outside world is too dangerous. I don't have the power to protect myself. Where can I talk about traveling? It is estimated that within two days of leaving Pingyang City, I will be killed by the people in the mountains." Beasts eat it, there is nothing to do, let’s read other people’s travel notes and enjoy it.”

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua also felt the same way. People in this world must do everything according to their ability. If they have no power to protect themselves, they must force themselves to travel. Naturally, they are the prey of wild beasts.

The two chatted for a while, Mr. Mo seemed to be a little sleepy because he got up too early, and dozed off with his eyes closed. Zhang Xiaohua didn't speak anymore, and found the few travel notes from the luggage, took one casually, and relished it. looked up.

Although I can't go there in person, it's good to read a book and have a dry addiction.

Time passed in such a hurry, the bodyguard team didn't stop for a meal at noon, Zhang Xiaohu patted the horse over, handed Zhang Xiaohua and others some dry food, everyone ate casually, and then went on their way.
