Chapter 1552 Comrades
"Well, don't worry, I'm fine." Gu Jinli raised his head and smiled at him. After seeing a smile on his face, he lowered the car curtain and sat down again.
Qin Sanlang rode away, leading the way with Uncle Mutong.
They were a team of nearly 3,000 people, with horse-drawn carriages, mules and all kinds of supplies. They were very large, and they followed many people along the way.
However, these people followed them for less than half an hour. After seeing them entering the range of Leijiazhuangzi, they did not dare to follow them anymore.
In front of the gate of Leijiazhuangzi, a group of people were already standing to greet him. In addition to Zhuangtou, there was also an acquaintance - Kunzi.
Kunzi is Lei Wuye's right-hand man. He has been going to the workshop to get goods since Gu Jinli's family first started the seasoning and spice business, and he knows Qin and Gu Luotian's family.
Kunzi also took over the goods from Qin Sanlang's fishing village.
"Uncle Kunzi." When Qin Sanlang saw Kunzi, he dismounted happily, clasped his fists in salute, and was the first to say hello.
When Kunzi saw Qin Sanlang, he was also very happy. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have grown up. He is half a head taller than me. He has become a householder, married a daughter-in-law, and is very successful."
When they learned that Sanlang was getting married to the second daughter of the Gu family, they were extremely happy. As soon as the news of the engagement came, they began to prepare gifts.
Thanks to the early preparation, there was no delay in sending the congratulatory gifts.
Kunzi said to Qin Sanlang again: "This is Lei Zhuangtou. He is a servant born in the Fifth Master's family. He is trustworthy. If you have any problems in Zhuangzi, just come to him."
Lei Zhuangtou was younger than Kunzi. He looked like he was only in his early thirties, but he was a good practitioner. His lower body was very stable and his movements were powerful. He cupped his fists towards Qin Sanlang and said, "Greetings to Qin Baihu."
Qin Sanlang nodded and said hello: "Lei Zhuangtou."
"Uncle Kunzi!" Gu Jinli raised the car curtain and shouted towards Kunzi.
When Kunzi looked over, he was almost frightened to death on the spot.
Mom, who is this ugly monster?
Kunzi trembled with his hands, pointed at Gu Jinli's face, and then looked at Qin Sanlang... Could it be that you got married early not because you were coming to the northwest, but because the face of the second girl of the Gu family was ruined?
Saburo, you have suffered!
Qin Sanlang helped Kunzi and said with a smile: "Uncle Kunzi, there is no need to worry, Xiaoyu's face is fine."
As he spoke, the hand holding Kunzi suddenly tightened. Kunzi seemed to understand, felt a little relieved, and said, "It's okay."
Then he looked at Niu Dabao and the others and said, "Are these the adults from the hundreds of families who are traveling with you?"
Qin Sanlang nodded and introduced him to Niu Dabao, Xie Cheng, Zhang Yan, Liu Baihu, Tang Zongqi and others.
Kunzi smiled and said: "Mutong has shown us the list, and the place has been marked out for you. Come with me to the village."
Kuang and the others had already opened the car curtain and were waiting. They were extremely happy when they heard this: "You can enter the village now. You guys, please be quick with your hands and feet. Enter the village quickly and have a rest!"
Then he said to Kunzi: "Brother, I'll help you."
Unexpectedly, the Gu family is so capable and has such capable acquaintances in the northwest, allowing them to settle in Zhuangzi and live in a big house again.
Cao Baihu was frightened, and was once again glad that he just led his troops to hide, and did not follow Ding Ge and the others to deal with Qin Sanlang... The Qin family couple looked at their young age, but they were not easy to mess with, and they had many backers. It was like a magic trick, a patron would pop up from time to time, leaving him dizzy.
Liu Baihu was very proud, and once again praised his good vision. On the night of the banditry and annexation of soldiers, he had quick eyesight and quick hands to hug Qin Sanlang's thigh. Now he is enjoying the blessing.
But before they entered the gate of Zhuangzi, they heard a shout: "Brother Zhang, is this Brother Zhang? I am Guo Daming!"
Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked back and saw a person shouting towards him from behind a long queue.
The guards of the Lei family's village immediately rushed over, pointed their swords at Guo Daming, and shouted: "This is the village of the Lei family's caravan. If outsiders dare to take a step forward, kill them!"
Guo Daming knew that the Lei Family Caravan was a local tyrant in the northwest. He really deserved to kill people. Even if he didn't dare to kill Bai Hu, he would still dare to give him a good beating.
"Misunderstanding, brothers, a certain household from Linhe Prefecture is here to see my comrade." Guo Daming raised his finger and pointed at Zhang Yan and said, "That's the man wearing the black iron armor."
Not everyone can afford to wear black iron armor. Historically, only the Xungui family has it. Zhang Yan is the grandson-in-law of Uncle Guangcheng. After the old uncle Guangcheng knew that he was a general, he was afraid that he would be hacked to death. People spent a high price to build a black iron armor for him.
Kunzi looked at Zhang Yan and said, "Is that an acquaintance of Zhang Baihu?"
Zhang Yan could only nod his head and said: "We are from the same hundred households in the city. They got separated halfway. I didn't expect to meet them here. I'm really sorry."
Kunzi smiled and said to the boy next to him: "Familiar, go and bring him here."
"Hey." The boy hurried over, said a few words to the nursing staff, and brought the person back after a while.
"Brother Zhang, it turns out to be you. God bless us. We finally met again." Guo Daming said with a flattering smile, then lowered his head and said guiltily: "Brother Zhang, what happened back then?" , it’s my fault, my family also wants to stay and go with you, but my brothers really don’t agree, and everyone is afraid.”
Before Zhang Yan and his wife met Qin Sanlang and the others, they were hunted down twice by the Jiao family. Each time, they suffered heavy casualties. Even Guo Daming and others from hundreds of families were killed.
Everyone was really scared, and they had their wives with them, so they had no choice but to abandon Zhang Yan and his wife and run away secretly... This noble family looked noble, but the fighting inside was fierce, and they couldn't afford to interfere.
But……
"I originally thought I could have a safe journey to the northwest, but I didn't know that the farther northwest it became more dangerous...Liu Baihu's family, Zhang Baihu, and half of the soldiers were all dead, either killed by bandits or died of illness. Take them with you. My supplies were also robbed by other armies heading west, and now I don’t even have a horse.”
As Guo Daming spoke, he almost shed tears and choked with sobs: "Who would have thought that the westward journey could be so dangerous? He even robbed his comrades in uniform, he is simply inhuman!"
We were all members of the westward-bound anti-Japanese army and were supposed to help each other. However, seeing that they were from the south and not that fierce, the soldiers from other prefectural cities simply robbed them.
It's just that the female relatives were not touched, which is better than the bandits.
Zhang Yan was very unhappy when he heard this. Seeing Kunzi and the others waiting nearby, he said: "Uncle Kunzi, you go in first, I'll say a few words to Guo Baihu."
Kunzi was generous and said with a smile: "Since we are acquaintances, let's go into the village to rest together."
After hearing this, Guo Daming was overjoyed and looked at Zhang Yan pleadingly.
Zhang Yan looked at Qin Sanlang... Now he was following Sanlang and the others. He would only agree if Sanlang agreed.
Qin Sanlang would naturally give Zhang Yan face, nodded in agreement, and said to Guo Daming: "Come in with us, but we are also guests in Zhuangzi and need to abide by the rules of the Lei family."
