Chapter 138 Old Acquaintance
Yuan Changqing saw Captain Luo's expression change and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Don't get me wrong, Captain. This little brother is our brother Zhang Xiaohua. His name is Zhang Xiaohua. We happened to meet him in the town, so we brought him He came back and asked his brothers to meet each other. You think, even if he is not Zhang Tou'er's brother, at such a young age, since he is from Pingyang City, we can't just let him run around in this place alone. , do you think so?"
After hearing this, Captain Luo's face improved slightly, and he immediately asked, "Do you know him? Do you know that he is Zhang Xiaohu's younger brother?"
Yuan Changqing laughed and said: "The big escort is joking, how can I recognize him? But don't you see that this young man's face is exactly the same as ours? There is nothing to doubt."
Officer Luo looked at Zhang Xiaohua suspiciously for a while, then patted his bare forehead and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, right? I seem to have seen you somewhere?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "That's right, Mr. Luo, I was injured years ago and spent some time recovering from my injuries in the escort agency. Maybe we met during that time."
The escort leader Luo thought for a while and said with a smile: "Perhaps, there were a lot of affairs in the escort agency a few years ago, and I often went out as escorts. I didn't spend much time in the escort agency, so I probably met him once or twice."
Later, the escort leader Luo said to Yuan Changqing: "Zhang Xiaohu went out for some business and will probably come back in the evening. You should take this child to his room first."
After saying that, he walked out of the door with his head held high.
When the escort leader Luo walked far away, Yuan Changqing put away his smile and whispered: "Ignore him, Zhang Xiaohua, this guy just thinks he is the escort leader and always looks down on us as the escort. He is always picky about us, and for these trivial matters, we raise our heads, oh, it’s your second brother, and I’m very serious with him, otherwise why would he be so picky about you?”
Zhang Xiaohua didn't mind. A stranger suddenly barged in. Naturally, he would be questioned carefully. If he was simply let go, what would he be like?
When Yuan Changqing saw Zhang Xiaohua just smiling, he said, "Let's go, I'll take you to Zhang Tou'er's room. You look like this, you're tired, so take a rest first and wait until your second brother comes back in the evening."
After saying that, several people brought Zhang Xiaohua to a simple small room. The door was ajar. They pushed the door and entered. It was not empty. Yuan Changqing smiled and said: "This courtyard is where we came here years ago." When I arrived, I rented it temporarily, it was very simple, I will probably leave after a while, and I didn’t buy anything.”
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "This room is similar to the small room where my second brother lived in the escort agency."
Yuan Changqing said: "Touchou Zhang's house is not bad. He lives alone. Touer Zhang also likes to keep clean. Of course, this house can be tidied up. We are just next to it, but when we put it together, it is not dirty and messy." It can be described simply. Okay, Zhang Xiaohua, please take a rest first. Head Zhang will be back in a while, so let’s give him a big surprise."
Zhang Xiaohua's heart moved and she said: "Okay, it's settled, no one should tell him in advance."
Yuan Changqing and others all smiled and said: "Okay, it's a deal. Zhang Tou'er is very generous to us. I haven't seen him happy for a long time, so this must be very exciting for him."
Zhang Xiaohua asked again: "But that escort leader Luo also knows about it, won't he tell the second brother?"
Yuan Changqing and others said: "Haha, don't worry. This escort leader is out at this time, probably looking for fun somewhere. With your second brother here, he feels at ease. Many things are taken care of very appropriately. He won't be here It won’t come back at night.”
Zhang Xiaohua was relieved and said yes repeatedly.
Yuan Changqing and others saw that Zhang Xiaohua looked tired, so they said no more and left.
Zhang Xiaohua got up in the morning and ran all the way to the afternoon. When he had something to eat in a restaurant, he encountered gangsters and started to show off his power and kill everyone. Naturally, he was tired by now. Look at the wound on his arm. It had stopped bleeding. , it doesn’t seem to hurt at the moment, so I don’t care about it.
He spread out the quilt on Zhang Xiaohu Kang, got in, closed his eyes, and fell asleep quickly.
Time passed quickly, the winter days were short, and the twilight arrived quickly.
When the lamp was turned on, Zhang Xiaohu came back from outside, full of exhaustion and a little bit of joy. Although he was just the deputy of Mr. Luo, just assisting him in his work, this man seemed to think highly of himself and would do all the work to him. Just like today, when he was discussing the return trip and route with other merchants, he If you let yourself handle it, you are really treating yourself as a long-term employee who does not need to pay a monthly salary. However, it is okay. After this escort trip, you have learned a lot. Even if you let yourself run escorts alone in the future, There was no problem, but immediately, Zhang Xiaohu gave a wry smile and shook his head secretly. He was an escort, not a bodyguard, so how could the bodyguard agency hold him responsible?
Fortunately, the time and route for the return trip have been decided with the guests today. Returning to Pingyang City is imminent. Thinking about Pingyang City, Zhang Xiaohu is really eager to return home. The long escort that I had traveled to twice this year actually didn't stay in Pingyang City during the Chinese New Year, and I didn't know how my brother was doing at Huanxi Villa. However, thinking about what Zhang Xiaohua said, there are many people in the villa who care about and take care of him, so he must be able to have a good New Year. And Li Jinfeng, Mr. Li, promised that when he returned home years ago, he asked him to bring a message to his family and some money, but he came and went in a hurry and had no time to see him. Now, He must be enjoying family happiness at home. I wonder if he still remembers to go to Guozhuang?
Zhang Xiaohu entered the yard, greeted the people in the yard, and hurried back to the house. He opened the ajar door, walked to the small table in the house, took out the fire folder from his arms, and lit it. Then he poured a glass of water, sat on a small stool while drinking, and breathed a sigh of relief.
After finishing the water, he realized that there was another person lying on the bed. Zhang Xiaohu shook his head and thought to himself: "Who is this brother from the escort agency who went to the wrong room after drinking?"
So, Zhang Xiaohu stood up, picked up the oil lamp, and walked to the kang. The man was crawling sideways on the kang, sleeping soundly. Zhang Xiaohu angrily pulled him over and cursed with a smile: "Not so fast." Get up, it’s getting dark, go and eat quickly, if you want to sleep, go back to your room and sleep.”
But this man was very small and light in weight. Zhang Xiaohu easily turned him over. He was surprised in his heart. But when he looked at the man's face, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Little flower!"
The oil lamp in his hand almost fell onto Zhang Xiaohua's face.
Zhang Xiaohu was startled. He quickly calmed down and held the oil lamp tightly to avoid Zhang Xiaohua's disfigurement. He looked carefully and rubbed his eyes with his hands. Isn't it Zhang Xiaohua's little face? Who else?
Could it be that I am dreaming?
Zhang Xiaohu walked to the door and looked at the few bodyguards and waiters walking around in the yard. The snow in the yard was still very deep. Isn't this the small yard he just entered? Then, Zhang Xiaohu unconfidently pinched his cheek with his hand. The pain showed that he was indeed not dreaming!
But why did this little flower run from Pingyang City to his own kang?
Thinking about this, Zhang Xiaohu walked quickly to the kang, and was about to push Zhang Xiaohua awake and interrogate him, but when he saw Zhang Xiaohua sleeping soundly, he must be very tired, so he immediately took back his hand and let Xiaohua take care of herself. Go to sleep. No matter what happens, even if it is a big thing, since you are under your wings, this burden will naturally be borne by your brother. My brother is still young and must have eaten a lot when he came here. Pain, even if the cause of the matter is complicated, now is not the time to ask. We should wait until we wake up to talk about everything.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohu carefully blew out the oil lamp, carefully put it down, then carefully stood on tiptoes, walked out gently, and then carefully closed the door, lest it make any noise and disturb Zhang Xiaohua's sweet dream.
Walking into the yard, Zhang Xiaohu stopped a waiter and asked, "Is Head Guard Luo here?"
The man smiled and said, "Tou'er Zhang, you still don't know when this escort Luo had dinner here at night? He must have been outside at this time."
Zhang Xiaohu smiled and scolded: "Of course I know this. I am asking you if you have seen him today?"
The man said: "I haven't seen him since this afternoon."
Zhang Xiaohu asked tentatively again: "Did you see anyone enter my house?"
The man thought for a while and said, "I don't have any impression. Our yard is remote and strangers don't come here on weekdays. If they come, I will certainly have an impression. What's the matter? Mr. Zhang, is there something missing?"
Zhang Xiaohu smiled and said: "Where? It's nothing, I'm just asking."
After saying that, he let the man go.
Later, he asked several escorts, but they still got the same answer. Zhang Xiaohu was a little confused. Could it be that his younger brother flew here? Besides, how did he know he was here?
Just as he was thinking about it, he met Yuan Changqing and several other people who had a good relationship with him coming back from the outside. As soon as Yuan Changqing saw Zhang Xiaohu, he smiled and said: "Boss Zhang, did you just come back from the outside?"
Zhang Xiaohu smiled and said: "Yes, I just came back, why did you go out again?"
Yuan Changqing said: "It's boring to stay in the yard, why don't you go out?"
Zhang Xiaohu said: "If you go out and hang out, you might as well practice more boxing and kicking. Why don't you box and exercise?"
Yuan Changqing smiled and said: "Tou'er Zhang, we are not better than you. Our fists and kicks are just the same after practicing over and over again. What progress can we make? If I were as lucky as you, I could go to the martial arts hall to learn internal skills and mental methods. I will practice more frequently.”
Zhang Xiaohu said: "Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. As careless as you are, you won't be able to seize the opportunity if you get it."
Yuan Changqing said: "Okay, Zhang Tou'er, I know you are good to us. We will practice boxing after dinner soon. You are not wasting these few mouthfuls of saliva in vain."
Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Whether you practice or not is your business, you don't have to look at my face."
Later, Yuan Changqing asked mysteriously: "Touer Zhang, have you just come back? You haven't gone back to the house yet."
Zhang Xiaohu didn't understand what he meant and said, "I've been back for a while. I went back to the house just now."
Immediately, he woke up and asked, "Did you bring Zhang Xiaohua back?"
Yuan Changqing blinked and smiled: "It seems that I did it."
Zhang Xiaohu said with a long smile: "Good brother, it's not in vain that I treat you like this on weekdays. This time I want to thank you properly."
Yuan Changqing quickly shied away and said: "Touer Zhang is too polite. You are always very generous to your brothers. Although you are not very old, everyone obeys you and is happy to do something for you." Yes, you don't have to be polite. Besides, the few of us just happened to meet at the right time, and we really didn't do much."
Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile: "After all, Xiaohua is just a teenager. He can't find anyone here if he doesn't have a few people with him. By the way, how did you meet him? Do you know Xiaohua? ?”
When asked about this, Yuan Changqing and others had very wonderful expressions on their faces. He said, "Touer Zhang, a tiger father has no dog son, so he should be a dragon brother and a tiger brother with you."
Zhang Xiaohu was stunned, laughed and cursed: "Nonsense, my eldest brother is called Xiaolong, and I am called Xiaohu. Naturally, we are brothers, dragon and tiger."
Seeing that he was puzzled, Yuan Changqing explained with a smile: "I am your little brother, that's what I call awesome."
Zhang Xiaohu was puzzled, so Yuan Changqing told everything he saw and heard in the afternoon.
This statement lasted for half a quarter of an hour. I have to say that Yuan Changqing's eloquence is excellent. If he does not pursue a promising career as a storyteller, it will be a great loss to the storyteller industry.
There were several bystanders next to him. They all gave thumbs up and praised Zhang Xiaohu for having a great younger brother. However, Zhang Xiaohu's expression was cloudy and he was only worried about the injury on Zhang Xiaohua's arm. It was so easy. After Yuan Changqing finished speaking, he said: "You guys wait here for a moment, I will come as soon as I go."
Under everyone's puzzled eyes, Zhang Xiaohu quickly ran back to his cabin.
After a while, he came back with a normal expression.
Yuan Changqing asked: "Touer Zhang, have you forgotten something?"
Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile: "I haven't forgotten anything, I'm just worried about Xiaohua's injury. I won't feel at ease unless I see it with my own eyes."
Only then did everyone understand, and secretly booed in their hearts. Everyone else cared about the excitement of the fight. Only his biological brother didn't care about the outcome, and only cared about his brother's injury. Only when he saw that the injury was okay could he rest assured.
Yuan Changqing was also ashamed and said: "Boss Zhang, this is my fault. I just brought Zhang Xiaohua back and forgot about it for a while. I don't know, how is my arm now?"
Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just an oversight. I took a rough look just now. It can't be seen clearly under the oil lamp. It seems to have been scarred. It should be just a skin injury. It is probably due to blood loss. Xiaohua is so sleepy. Usually he But it’s a joyful one.”
Yuan Changqing said fiercely: "As long as Xiaohua is fine, if there is a little problem, our brothers will definitely find some justice for him."
Zhang Xiaohu also looked gloomy and said: "That's right, my brother can't be injured for nothing. Although I spared them this afternoon, since they lost the prize, let's just leave it alone. I have to look for it tomorrow and let them get some blood." !”
Hearing this, Yuan Changqing looked strange. In order to maintain Zhang Xiaohua's heroic image, Yuan Changqing used the Spring and Autumn style of writing, and skipped some things. Since Zhang Xiaohu said this, Yuan Changqing couldn't hide it, so Yuan Changqing looked around, Pulling Zhang Xiaohu aside, he said this to his ear. Zhang Xiaohu's face lit up when he heard it. When Yuan Changqing finished speaking, his mouth almost burst into laughter, and he asked in disbelief: "He really did this? ? Did you really see it with your own eyes?"
Yuan Changqing smiled and said: "I can still deceive Mr. Zhang. How about you ask him tomorrow, or you can go back and check it out later and you will know."
Zhang Xiaohu said with a long smile: "If that's the case, then I won't go and cause trouble for them, hahaha."
After finishing speaking, he said: "Brothers, come with me to have a drink in a moment. We will not come back until we are drunk."
Yes, this is good. I heard that my brother was fine, so I was so happy that I went to drink. However, I can't help but say that this is a celebration of the chance encounter between brothers.
Everyone saw that Zhang Xiaohu was angry just now, but now he was smiling and very surprised. They all gathered around Yuan Changqing and others and asked why, what can these people say? They just pushed the envelope and asked them to find Zhang Xiaohu. Zhang Xiaohu also gave up and refused to talk about life or death. Everyone was depressed.
It wasn't until the dinner table in the evening, when everyone asked Zhang Xiaohu again while he was drunk, that Zhang Xiaohu made it clear. Everyone laughed and raised their thumbs, saying: "Zhang Xiaohua, it's so fun!"
Then everyone was stunned.
He said he would never return until he was drunk, but there was a slightly injured younger brother who fell asleep on his bed. How could Zhang Xiaohu drink too much? The rest of the people returned home happily. Only Zhang Xiaohu returned to the small courtyard soberly.
At night, Zhang Xiaohu fell asleep next to Zhang Xiaohua, staying far away, fearing that he would accidentally wake him up. However, he was also concerned and confused, but he had forgotten that with Zhang Xiaohua's sturdy sleep, where was he? Wakes up when touched?
The next day, when Zhang Xiaohua woke up from his dream full of flashes, the first thing he saw was his second brother, whom he had longed for. He couldn't help but be overjoyed, and was about to scream, but when he heard Zhang Xiaohu Youzi fell into a deep sleep and quickly covered his mouth with his hands. However, such a small movement still woke up Zhang Xiaohu, who was thinking about him.
Zhang Xiaohu opened his eyes and saw Zhang Xiaohua's little face full of joy looking at him. He jumped up from the kang and said with a smile: "Xiaohua, you're awake!"
Zhang Xiaohua also smiled and said: "Yes, second brother, wake up."
There were not many words, both of them were happy.
Later, Zhang Xiaohu asked: "Have you slept enough? Why don't you just take a nap? It's still early in the day."
Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Second brother, it's hard for me to fall asleep as soon as I wake up. Besides, I went to your room and fell asleep yesterday afternoon. I slept for so long, so I won't feel sleepy again."
Zhang Xiaohu said: "Okay, let me take a closer look at the wound on your arm."
Zhang Xiaohua stretched out her arm as instructed. Zhang Xiaohu took advantage of the light outside the window and looked at it carefully again, and took a towel to wipe away some blood on the outside. As he thought, the wound had long been scarred. It's like it has been raised for several days.
Only then did Zhang Xiaohu feel completely relieved.
