Chapter 2044 Gifford

Gu Dalin and the others have been traveling to the northwest since last year, and it took them almost half a year to reach the territory of Changliang Wei until now. The journey to the northwest was long and arduous.

"Tang Baihu, are we almost here?" Gifford rode over and asked, looking at the barren mountains and ridges around him, he really didn't know where Changliang Wei was hiding?

Tang Baihu, the former Tang Zongqi, smiled and said: "Master Ji Jiu, don't be impatient. After walking for half an hour, after passing the waterless ditch in front, you will find Changliang Wei's territory."

This huge convoy is composed of the Ji family, the Xie family, and the Gu family, so in addition to Bao Zongqi, there is also Tang Baihu from the big port guard who came to pick them up.

However, they will stay in Changliangwei tonight, and then set off for Dabuwei tomorrow.

After hearing this, Gifford felt relieved and said, "It's hard work for hundreds of households."

Then he smiled at Bao Zongqi and said: "Bao Zongqi, this is going to trouble your guard station. You have to entertain so many of us."

Looking at the huge and almost invisible team, he asked worriedly: "The guard station is an important military area. If we have so many people staying here, we won't cause any trouble to Qin Qianhu, right?"

Bao Zongqi said with a smile: "Master Ji Jiu, don't worry. The people you brought can all prove their identities and have been registered at the Long'an Prefecture and Mu County gathering places, and our three health offices have jointly cooperated." Sure, you can enter the guard station. I just have to force you to live in the camp outside the guard station."

Only people close to the guardhouse can enter, such as the bodyguards escorting the convoy. General servants and guards are not allowed to enter for the time being.

Gifford smiled and said: "It's not aggrieved. We traveled all the way west and lived in the wilderness for several months. We have long been accustomed to living in tents. As long as we don't cause trouble to Chang Liang Wei."

After saying that, he took out a sheepskin water bag and handed it to Bao Zongqi: "The cold wind is blowing. Bao Zongqi's mouth is a little purple. He must be freezing. Drink some ginger soup to warm yourself up."

Bao Zongqi took the sheepskin water bag and drank a few sips. The spicy taste of the ginger soup made him sneeze several times.

After sneezing, the coldness went away a lot and my whole body felt warm.

"It's refreshing!" Bao Zongqi felt completely comfortable and returned the sheepskin water bag to Gifford: "Thank you."

"Mr. Bao, you're welcome." Gifford took out another sheepskin water bag from a thick bag on his horse and handed it to Tang Baihu: "Tang Baihu also has some."

Tang Baihu smiled: "Ji Jiuye is really a meticulous person. He even brought me a new one. I am so familiar with Lao Bao and they have fought together. We even lay in the pile of corpses together and drank his saliva. I I don’t mind it.”

After hearing this, Bao Zongqi gave a fist-cup salute and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, Tang Baihu, for your kindness."

Tang Baihu laughed and scolded: "Go away, you have become more and more naughty after your life has been good."

Gifford was very happy when he saw the two of them playing around. It seemed that not only Qin Qianhu and Uncle Xie had a good relationship, but also the soldiers of the two guards got along well with each other, so he felt relieved, and so could his clan uncle.

Ji Fudou's clan uncle is Mr. Ji... Ji Fudou had a bad life. His mother died when he was born, and his father was incompetent. He was good at eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. Within two years, he was choked by the food he had eaten when he was vomiting because he was drunk. The trachea was blocked, and I was suffocated.

After that, all he had left was his sick grandfather and the debt left by his biological father.

The creditor was from a gambling house. He came to the house with the deed signed by his father and took over the house and land. There was nothing left in the house.

Grandpa knew that he was sick and would not live long, so he took him all the way from the countryside to Ji's house in Fucheng. Using his kindness of helping Mr. Ji when he was young, he met Mr. Ji and begged him to buy him as a wife. My slave, I said that I can sign a death contract, all I want is for him to grow up safely, and then help him start a family and leave a trace of incense in his family.

But Mr. Ji didn't agree, and said, "Where is the reason to buy a member of the same clan as a slave?"

Instead of asking him to sign a deed of betrayal, he took in their grandparents and grandchildren, let them live in the mansion, help the mansion do some work, and paid them some monthly money, which was regarded as hiring them.

As a result, their grandparents settled down, and under the care of Mr. Ji, grandpa lived for several more years until he became a man at the age of twelve, and then passed away.

When his grandfather was dying, he only left him one sentence: "I must repay my kindness. Although you did not sign the deed of betrayal, your life and your abilities were all given by your uncle. In this life, you will die." You can't do anything to disgrace the Ji family."

Grandpa said this because he was learning to be an accountant at that time. After completing his studies, he would help his uncle's family do the accounts. As an accountant, accounting skills are secondary, and the most important thing is to pay attention to the master. You are loyal to your family and cannot have any bad intentions towards your master’s family.

He agreed and swore a poisonous oath.

And because of all these, the clan uncle trusted him very much. This time he did not send his own son, but his clan nephew.

From then on, he worked as an errand for Uncle Xie and his aunt together with Mr. and Mrs. Ji, Master Ji, and others until he died of old age.

Cough cough cough!

There was a coughing sound. After hearing it, Gifford said: "I'm going to see Brother Dalin. He has been in poor health."

After saying that, he rode his horse and rushed to the carriage where Gu Dalin was sitting. He dismounted and asked the horse to follow the convoy. Then he signaled the driver to slow down, climbed on the front panel of the carriage, lifted the curtain and got in. .

"Brother Dalin, why are you coughing again? Are you coughing up blood?" Gifford asked nervously. When passing through Gujia Village in Gaoshui County a few years ago, Gu Dalin met Qin Qianhu's people who stayed in the village and learned that Something happened, and he vomited blood on the spot and became seriously ill.

Later, I contracted a cold and started to cough. There was blood in the sputum I coughed up.

However, the doctor said that Gu Dalin's disease was not tuberculosis, but blood sputum caused by blood flowing into the trachea and throat after vomiting blood. As long as he didn't cough up bloody sputum again after a few days, there was no need to worry.

Although more than a month had passed, Gifford still remembered this. Whenever Gu Dalin coughed, he would ask if there was bloody sputum.

Xia Zhang was ordered to follow Bao Zongqi to pick up Gu Dalin and the others. At this moment, he replied: "I'm not coughing up blood. Don't worry, Master Ji Jiu."

After hearing this, Ji Fudou felt relieved and was about to lift the curtain and call the doctor in to check Gu Dalin's pulse, but Gu Dalin stopped him: "Brother Ji Jiu, no need, I'm fine. I just thought of something and got a little excited and lost my temper. The cough just now...is gone now, no need to call the doctor in."

Gifford looked at his face, although it was a little pale, but fortunately he already looked like a human being, unlike when he was in Gujiacun before, his face was all golden and purple, and he looked like he was about to die.

"Okay, let's not call the doctor. You have a good rest and don't think too much." Although Gifford didn't know what Gu Dalin had learned, it hit him so hard that he had to comfort Gu Dalin. Two sentences: "We are almost at the health center. We should be happy. We can put aside the bad things around us and they can always be solved."
