Chapter 139 Harvest
At this time, Zhang Xiaohu frowned, stared at Zhang Xiaohua, and asked: "Xiaohua, if you don't stay well at Huanxi Villa, why did you come to this country town inexplicably? This place is not far away from Pingyang City. Yeah. Did you come alone? Or did you come here with someone else? Did you make a mistake at the villa and escaped here privately? If so, Xiaohua, don't be afraid. Talk to your second brother carefully and see what's going on. What’s going on? Don’t be afraid of anything. Even if the sky falls, there will still be a tall man like my second brother to hold it up. However, you must tell me the truth.”
Zhang Xiaohua heard that the second brother asked so many questions, and the questions became more and more outrageous. She quickly waved her hands and said: "Farewell, second brother, even if the sky falls, there are still people higher than you. You don't have to worry about me." Yes. You ask so many questions. How do you ask me to answer you? You'd better pour me some water first. I'm thirsty. I'll tell you in detail after I finish drinking the water."
Zhang Xiaohu had no choice but to turn around and pour him some water. After watching him drink it, he asked again: "Now is the time to talk."
In fact, Zhang Xiaohua was not unwilling to tell Zhang Xiaohu about Zhang Xiaohua, Ou Yan and others going south. However, He Tianshu's instructions before going out and the attack on the rainy night made Zhang Xiaohua hesitate, not knowing whether he should Tell Zhang Xiaohu, what's more, he was injured by the man in black and almost died. Although he is fine now, if he tells the second brother, it will definitely make him worried. What should he do? Moreover, Master Jingxuan didn't seem to want others to know her whereabouts. She didn't even tell Zhang Xiaohua her origins. Of course, Zhang Xiaohua had to consider others.
But Zhang Xiaohua then thought again, this little tiger is his biological second brother. If he still can't believe it, who else in the world can trust him? After thinking for a long time, Zhang Xiaohua finally spoke: "Second brother, there are some things I have to keep secret, so you must keep it a secret. What I told you today, you must never tell anyone else, even your big escort Luo." If you ask me, you can't tell me."
Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's hesitation, Zhang Xiaohu thought he had done something bad. When he talked about it again, he couldn't help but look serious, nodded and replied: "Okay, Xiaohua, I promise you, I am the only one who knows these words, and I will never Tell someone else."
So, Zhang Xiaohua told the story of how she followed Huanxi Villa's convoy from Pingyang City until the rainy night when they were attacked. However, she did not talk about her fight with the old man in black. She just said that she escaped in the dark. He accidentally fell into the water, fished out a wooden board in the water, and then floated down the fast river.
Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua grew up together, and they know Zhang Xiaohua's water properties very well. It's okay to be a little frog in the river in front of Guozhuang, but it's a long way to be a loach in this river, so Zhang Xiaohua is Even though I couldn't get ashore in time in the fast-flowing river even though I was carrying a plank, I still didn't have the slightest doubt. However, when he heard that Zhang Xiaohua had been drifting for a long time before being rescued in a slightly slower Gulf Stream, his face turned pale with fear.
Zhang Xiaohua was very puzzled when she saw the scared look on her second brother, and said: "What's wrong, second brother, am I not doing well? What's there to be afraid of?"
Zhang Xiaohu said with a stiff smile: "The ignorant are fearless. Xiaohua, do you know that this place is very close to the sea. The nearby river converges to the Luojiang River, which is not far ahead. You must have drifted here. The same is true for the river. If you are not rescued by someone at that time, you will probably drift into the Luojiang River soon. The river is so wide that it is even more difficult to get ashore. Moreover, this is the mouth of the Luojiang River. You cannot rely on it before entering the Luojiang River. If we go to the shore, there will be no chance. As the river flows into the sea, the sea is boundless. With only a piece of wood, there is no chance of survival. Do you think you can stop me from being afraid?"
After hearing this, a cold sweat broke out on Zhang Xiaohua's spine, and she secretly thanked Xiao Meng for the fishing rod. If it hadn't been for this, she would have been sleeping in the boundless sea water by now!
Then, Zhang Xiaohua said that she had drifted for a long time and fell ill when she landed on shore.
It wasn't until yesterday that the person who rescued him took him out and put him in this strange town.
Zhang Xiaohu was already heartbroken when he heard that his brother was almost alive. He couldn't distinguish his words. He only took Zhang Xiaohua's little hand and squeezed it tightly. He just wanted to take away the pain that his poor brother had suffered some time ago. All replaced by oneself.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua felt that her decision was correct. If Zhang Xiaohu knew that he was almost beaten to death, wouldn't he burst into tears immediately?
After a while, Zhang Xiaohu said: "Since you drifted here by yourself, and you don't know the life or death of Master Ou, you can't tell anyone about it. Just say that you were sent by the manager of Huanxi Villa. Just doing business here."
However, he then smiled and said: "It's hard to do. How could a child as young as you be sent so far away? Why don't we just say that we came with someone else and got separated when we got here. Now we happened to meet us, and we just followed The team of the escort agency should go back, everything will naturally be resolved when we get to Pingyang City."
Zhang Xiaohua blinked and said with a smile: "That's what the second brother said. Fortunately, Brother Yuan brought me back yesterday. He saw that I was tired and didn't ask me in detail. Otherwise, I really don't know what to say."
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaohu seemed to have thought of something, and said with a smile: "I heard that someone was very majestic yesterday. He killed everyone and got a lot of trophies."
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she immediately blushed and muttered, "I don't want to let them go for nothing."
Then, he shook Zhang Xiaohu's arm and said, "Second brother, I won't dare to do it anymore, okay?"
Zhang Xiaohu, however, had a straight face and said strangely: "Why don't you dare? In the future, not only will this be done, but we will also have to make them bleed profusely. These ruffians, I can't wait to whip them myself. Why should I blame you?"
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Zhang Xiaohu in surprise, stopped swinging her arms, didn't believe her ears, and asked, "Do you really agree with what I did yesterday?"
Zhang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Yes, the second brother agrees with both hands and feet."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua burst into laughter and said, "This is my good second brother. By the way, I haven't seen yesterday's harvest yet, so I just want to take stock of it now."
After saying that, he took out a bunch of money bags from his arms, large and small, and different styles.
He casually picked up a bulging-looking one and opened it to look at it. Zhang Xiaohu also found one and opened it directly.
There were some scattered silver coins and some copper coins in Zhang Xiaohua's purse. As he was counting, he heard Zhang Xiaohu shout: "Hey, this purse has a lot of stuff, and there is even a pearl flower. Hey, why are you returning it?" Is there a small stone?”
Zhang Xiaohua looked up and saw that the second brother was holding the money bag he had picked up and looking at it with interest. Zhang Xiaohua snatched it away and said, "This is not yesterday's trophy, it is mine from a few days ago." Found it on the mountain."
Zhang Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, not doubting that he was there, and said with a smile: "Xiao Hua, here comes your fortune. Why did you just pick it up and find a money bag? There is a lot of money in it."
Zhang Xiaohua didn't bother to explain to him, so she took a money bag from the table and threw it to him, saying, "Let's take a look quickly."
Zhang Xiaohu caught it and said: "It's too slow to look at it, I might as well fall on the table."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Second brother, this is a good idea."
So the two picked up the money bag and poured out the contents one by one.
Although there are seven or eight money bags on the table, there are really very few things in them. Except for one of them, which should be Brother Fan, there is a little more silver in the money bag. The others are mostly copper coins. Zhang Xiaohua looked at them. , thought to himself: "The money bag is so empty, no wonder you want to make your own plans."
However, the sand becomes a tower and the armpits become fur. Although each purse does not have much silver, it cannot hold up seven or eight. If you look closely, in addition to dozens of copper coins, there are also five taels of silver scattered around. Zhang Xiaohu was overjoyed to see it.
After cleaning up, Zhang Xiaohu pushed the silver and copper coins to Zhang Xiaohua and said: "This is your harvest, keep it yourself."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled, kept the copper coins, and pushed the rest to the second brother, saying: "Second brother, I keep the copper coins as pocket money. You can collect the silver for me first and take it back to your parents when you have time." "
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu was not polite. He found a good-looking one among the empty money bags, put the money in it, put it in his arms, and said: "Okay, I'll be disrespectful. I always have my own money bag today." Haha, no worse than the one you picked up from the mountain."
Zhang Xiaohua didn't say anything, and took out the jade token from his arms and said, "I'll give this to you too. The man said yesterday that it was a fake. When I have time, I can find a pawnshop to pawn some money."
Zhang Xiaohu took it with his hand, looked around, handed it back to him, and said, "Forget it, this is a lot of money. This is a fake after all, worthless, so just play with it."
Zhang Xiaohua held Yi Yan in her arms after hearing this.
Then, he took out his small sword from his arms and handed it to Zhang Xiaohu.
Zhang Xiaohu saw Zhang Xiaohua constantly taking out things from his arms, and couldn't help but smile: "Is there a treasure bag in your arms? Why do you always bring out good things?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled, and then told Zhang Xiaohu about what happened with He Tianshu at the weapons store in the small town. Zhang Xiaohu was secretly amused after hearing this. In the past, before there were escorts in Pingyang City, he just thought that weapons everywhere had the same price. , these few times I came out, I discovered that the price of each weapon is different in each place. The seven taels of silver must not be much in the eyes of He Tianshu, but in the eyes of the blacksmith, it is a large amount. No wonder people would buy one. Give one away.
Zhang Xiaohu saw that his brother liked this little sword very much in his words, so he took it and took a look at it. Looking from left to right, he saw that besides being very heavy, he couldn't see anything special about it. It didn't have the feeling of being connected by blood as Zhang Xiaohua said. He smiled and said: "It seems that this little sword has fallen in love with you. I don't see anything strange about it. However, it is a gift that costs seven taels of silver, so it must be a good thing."
Although Zhang Xiaohu said this, he didn't take it seriously. He thought it was just because his brother didn't have many toys since he was a child, but now he finally found one and couldn't put it down.
Zhang Xiaohua saw that his second brother didn't take it so seriously and lost interest. Naturally, he couldn't tell him about using this small sword to kill people, so he had to keep it in his arms.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and Zhang Xiaohu said: "Let's go, Xiaohua, let's go eat first. I'll be busy later, so you can play in this yard. The time for our return has basically been decided, follow us Just go back together, don’t worry about anything else, just have fun."
Zhang Xiaohua curled her lips and thought to herself: "You still treat me like a child!"
Zhang Xiaohu led Zhang Xiaohua out, and met Mr. Luo. Mr. Luo looked sleepy, as if he was still hungover. Looking at Zhang Xiaohu, he didn't look embarrassed. Instead, he yawned and asked: " Zhang Xiaohu, how did the discussion go yesterday?"
Zhang Xiaohu respectfully replied: "To the head escort, everything has been discussed. I will report to you after breakfast and ask you to make a decision."
Head Guard Luo nodded and said: "Okay, well done. You go to eat first and come to me later. By the way, is this little brother really your biological brother?"
Zhang Xiaohu smiled and said: "Yes, he is my brother Zhang Xiaohua. It's a coincidence that we met here. I will tell you in detail later."
Captain Luo waved his hand and told the Zhang Xiaohu brothers to go to eat. He covered his mouth, yawned, and went elsewhere.
Zhang Xiaohua carefully pulled Zhang Xiaohu and asked: "Second brother, I don't think this Luo escort looks like a big escort. Are all the escorts in the Lotus Escort like this?"
Zhang Xiaohu looked around and said cautiously: "Xiaohua, you can't say that. Don't talk about others casually. Be careful that trouble comes from your mouth. Other escort chiefs are not like this. It is probably because Mr. Luo has been out for a long time." Yeah, maybe it’s because I’m homesick.”
Later, Zhang Xiaohua followed Zhang Xiaohu to have some breakfast in the kitchen of the small courtyard. At this time, there were still many escorts in the kitchen. Many people inside already knew that Zhang Tou'er met his brother here by chance. , and Zhang Xiaohua’s performance on the street yesterday has been widely known by Yuan Changqing’s big mouth, so everyone has a great impression of this seemingly inconspicuous young man. After all, he is also a brother from Pingyang City. Being able to beat a local snake to the ground with teeth, just thinking about it makes me feel very relieved, as if I had done it myself.
Zhang Xiaohua has not seen her relatives for many days. Now that she has met so many fellow villagers from Pingyang City, she is of course very close to her. She talks to everyone obediently. Before the meal is finished, everyone feels that Zhang Xiaohua is becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, just like His own brotherhood.
Zhang Xiaohu had a lot of things to do in the team and didn't have much free time to look after Zhang Xiaohua. He was originally worried that he wouldn't adapt here. But seeing that everyone liked Zhang Xiaohua, he felt relieved. After a quick meal, he told Zhang Xiaohu Xiaohua said something and hurriedly came to Luo Biaotou's room.
Luo Darthead's house was obviously larger than Zhang Xiaohu's. It was a two-room house with a main room in the middle. At this time, Luo Darthead was sitting in the main room with a bowl of gruel in front of his face and was kneading it vigorously. His temples were obviously a result of a hangover that affected his appetite and made his head swell and hurt.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohu enter the room, Biao Luo pointed to the stool next to him and said, "Sit down."
Then, he picked up his rice bowl, took a few sips, and asked someone to take it out.
Officer Luo took two more sips of tea, then turned to look at Zhang Xiaohu and asked, "Deputy Officer Zhang, tell me what happened yesterday."
Zhang Xiaohu quickly stood up and said: "You don't have to be so polite, Mr. Luo. Although I am allowed to be your deputy thanks to Fourth Master Wen, I am still the assassin. You don't need to call me that. Just call me Zhang Xiaohu." .”
Head Guard Luo smiled and said: "Although Deputy Head Guard Zhang is working as a waiter in the bodyguard bureau now, he has already entered the martial arts hall to learn advanced martial arts. In the future, being a bodyguard leader is not just a matter of words? I am just calling him that in advance. You think so?" No?"
Zhang Xiaohu still excused himself: "If you are not a bodyguard, then you cannot be called that, don't you think?"
Luo Biaotou smiled and didn't take it seriously.
When Zhang Xiaohu saw that the escort leader Luo was silent, he knew that he was jealous that he could study in the martial arts hall. Moreover, the position of deputy team leader was fought for by Fourth Master Wen, so he might not have the intention of calling this escort leader Luo. Well, so he didn't argue and said pleasantly: "This is what we discussed with the merchants yesterday."
Later, Zhang Xiaohu explained the matters discussed with the merchants yesterday in detail to the head escort Luo. The head escort Luo nodded while listening. After Zhang Xiaohu finished reporting, he said: "You did a good job. Deputy Guard Zhang, let everything be as you agreed. You can give them a confirmation soon, and that’s it.”
Zhang Xiaohu nodded in agreement and said: "Naruto, Head Guard Luo, I'm going out now. Tell the brothers to pack up in advance and prepare to leave in a few days?"
Head Guard Luo nodded and said, "Okay, it's time to tell them. They have been here for so long and the New Year has passed."
After Zhang Xiaohu saluted, he turned around and prepared to go out.
At this time, Guard Luo spoke again, "Deputy Guard Zhang, wait a moment."
Zhang Xiaohu quickly stopped his steps, turned around and asked, "Defender Luo, what else do you have to do?"
Captain Luo smiled and said: "That's right, Deputy Captain Zhang, as leaders, we should lead by example. We must take a good lead and set a good example in everything we do?"
Zhang Xiaohu was stunned and said: "Master Luo, if there is anything I did wrong, please remind me. I have just been to the escort agency for a short time, and I still have to learn a lot from experienced escorts like you."
After hearing this, the escort leader Luo was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal. For those of us who go out as bodyguards, the escort agency has costs. Everyone has a standard for eating, drinking and eating every day. This standard You also know that the financial affairs of the team will be recorded truthfully. If there are any discrepancies, I can't explain it to the escort agency, right? You see, your brother suddenly came to our team, and the food and accommodation expenses are not good. Forget it."
Zhang Xiaohu's expression changed drastically after hearing this.
