Chapter 3 The Poison of Life
And what annoyed Zhang Huzi the most was that seeing that the time agreed with Li Zhutou had arrived, did he still want to go over and inquire?
Zhang Zizi jumped three feet high in anger, locked the door and hurriedly walked down the street, he felt that it was important to find the old servant and Ai Ye first.
Otherwise, what should I say if I really see Old Man Li?
"I saw your grandson, and I took him into the house, and then ...... Lost? Lost ......"
Damn, although he has a beard and a heavier heart for money, he is not an ungrateful person, so he really doesn't want to help Ai Ye to do anything, he really wants to repay the old Li Tou for saving his life.
Zhang Huzi has always been a man who fears ghosts and gods, and he is accustomed to believing that there are gods who are three feet above his head, although he helps his owner to do the thing of exploitation and looting, he thinks that it is also a matter of being willing to fight and be willing to suffer.
Since those poor sticks did not come to borrow money from his boss when he opened his beard or the boss forced him with a sword, then he should not be slow when he repaid the money, he was just fierce, and it was also a matter of duty, which was not a harm to nature.
Zhang Huzi, like all those singles who are in the market, helps the rich people and the common people on the one hand, and lives a lot of time, but this does not prevent him from occasionally being chivalrous.
However, today he felt that all his sincerity that was ready to repay his kindness had been poisoned by life.
"Bastard, I'll catch you in a while, and I won't break your dog's legs!"
Zhang Beard cursed hatefully.
Zhang's old servant was a distant relative he had brought with him from his hometown.
This old man has no children and no daughters in his life, he is stupid and honest, his father doesn't love his mother, and when he was young, he relied on his good strength to live to such an old age.
When I get older, I gradually can't make a living, and the poor almost have to beg on the street, and occasionally I meet Zhang Huzi who goes home to visit relatives, and immediately weeps bitterly and kneels on the ground and kowtows.
It turned out that when Zhang Huzi was young, when he was idle at home, he ran to the distant relative's house of this happy bachelor to eat when he had no wine or food.
Because the old servant was honest, he never had any intention of disgusting and despicable, and he didn't know at all that Zhang Huzi was actually deliberately bullying him honestly, and he was such an honest person who deceived him without shame, so he should treat him with white eyes.
On the contrary, as long as the old servant saw Zhang Huzi go, he liked something, as if it was a great honor for Zhang Huzi to go to him, so he always poured out his money to entertain Zhang Huzi.
In the end, Zhang Huzi committed an accident, and he also ran to his kennel to hide for several days, and finally saw that his salary was not enough for two people to eat, so he had to flee away.
More than ten years later, Zhang Huzi learned that the enemy of the year had braided his hair, and he also saved some money in his hand before he dared to go home to visit his relatives.
I didn't want to wander around the street, but I suddenly met this old acquaintance.
To be honest, in many cases, Zhang Huzi can't remember this person at all, because Zhang Huzi has never taken this honest man in his eyes, and the reason why he is willing to go to his stinky kennel is purely because he was too lazy to eat when he was young.
Now, I suddenly saw a grown man who was once strong and lewd like this, and I saw him as if I had seen a long-lost relative; You must know that even if the children and nephews in your family get a lot of money from him, they still look at him with a detached and indifferent look, not to mention crying, laughing is very reluctant.
seems to be afraid that Zhang Hu will do something outside to kill people and steal goods. It's going to hurt them.
A kind of pity rose from the bottom of Zhang Huzi's heart for the first time.
Zhang Huzi was suddenly very grateful in his heart for the kindness of this distant relative back then.
Thinking about it carefully, I was really angry and hateful back then, and it was this person who really didn't dislike myself and treated myself highly.
Zhang Huzi, who has gone through countless hardships in life, has long understood that it is those smart and clever people who are really hated and hated in this world, but the distant relative in front of him is the one who is really worth dealing with.
A few days later, Zhang Huzi said goodbye to his family and took this distant relative with him.
This matter has always been a beautiful talk in Zhang Huzi's hometown, and Zhang Huzi's name has become a thumbs up in his hometown because of this matter of gratitude and retribution, and Lang Zi is a model of chivalry.
Therefore, Zhang Huzi never questioned the old servant's loyalty to him, if Ai Ye was really going to be abducted by the old servant, it must be the old servant's stupidity again, thinking that he had a child at home, maybe he was uneasy and kind......
Hey, it's hard to tell.
However, Zhang Huzi estimated that even if they wanted to, they would not be able to run far.
The problem is that it's getting dark, and if they're already out of town, it's going to be troublesome.
I didn't want to go out a few steps before I met my old servant who was downcast.
The old servant knelt down when he saw the angry beard and was so frightened that he fell to his knees.
"What about the kid?"
Although he saw that the old servant was alone, Zhang Hu still felt a little relieved.
"Missing ......"
The old servant replied in fear.
"Is he unwilling to stay with us? Where did you chase him and he didn't see? Get up. ”
Zhang Huzi asked anxiously.
He wishfully thought that Ai Ye might be suspicious of him? So he slipped away, and of course the old servant couldn't catch up with a little broken child, so his anger at the old servant gradually disappeared.
"No, sir, let's go to the boy's house together...... The boy had to go back to his grandfather, and then we saw that there was no one in his house, and I was afraid that the city gate would be closed if it was late, and I was afraid that you would be angry when it was too late, so I took him back, and we kept walking, and we kept walking, and when we got to the city gate, I was left alone......"
The old servant almost cried, but he still said honestly.
"What? You went to Aiye's house? It's really nonsense, didn't you say that Old Man Li was arrested by the official? Oops, what a pair of stupid melons, I'm so angry, you must have come back with Ai Ye? Then why is it gone? Did you look back? ”
The old servant was in a hurry, and began to be confused again, looking at Zhang Hu with white eyes, nodding and shaking his head, and could no longer ask what was the reason.
Zhang Huzi knew the problem of this old servant, and he was afraid that he would be forced to tighten it, but he would be frightened, so it would not be enough.
He endured his angry temper, and said to the old servant Wen Yan: "Okay, I know, it must be that child who is not used to living in our house, don't blame you, you go back first, I'll go to Li Zhutou's house to see, Ming'er, I will go out of the city and bring him back." ”
The old servant looked at Zhang Huzi's face, and saw that Zhang Huzi was indeed no longer angry, so he dared to stand up tremblingly.
Zhang Huzi didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he shook his hand and walked towards Li Zhutou's house.
…………
"Childe, this is it."
Ai Ye pointed to the small mansion with a beard and said to Xie Xiang.
The old servant, who was cleaning the yard, looked up when he heard the sound, and immediately threw down the long-handled broom in his hand and ran into the house, shouting loudly as he ran: "Master, master, the bear boy has come back by himself......"
Xie Xiang and Ai Ye couldn't understand a word of the old servant's words, and the two of them could only look at each other, wondering why the old man threw away the broom in his hand when he saw them, and ran into the house with a loud shout.
Could it be that they look like they are robbing the door?
It turned out that the old servant knew that Zhang Huzi was changing clothes in the house and preparing to go out of the city to look for Ai Ye, he was full of anxiety and blamed himself, feeling that he was useless and made trouble for his master, if the master scolded and punished him a few times, it would be fine, but the old man was very good, which made him feel guilty and uneasy.
Suddenly, I heard someone talking, and when I looked up, I saw Ai Ye, who was lost by him yesterday, standing at the door of their house, and the joy of losing it was even happier than when he got a gold ingot.
This old servant was a stupid man, and he was glad to be another servant at best.
Then he would refrain and go first to greet the inquiring guests, because Ai Ye was accompanied by a gentlemanly son. But this old servant of Zhang Huzi will not care about this, and he runs in to report the good news to Zhang Huzi.
Therefore, the high wind and bright festival of the wild goose plucking and beard is here, and it can be regarded as the good fruit of this old servant's fool to be able to treat such a person and let him stay by his side, feed him and clothe him, and take care of his old age.
Zhang Huzi was very calm, he had also thought about it, since a little ragged child, since he was inexplicably lost behind the old servant, the most likely thing was that the child ran home by himself.
After he went to Li Zhutou's house last night, he found out very definite news, so he was ready to go out of the city to find Ai Ye today.
Now Ai Ye himself came back to him, which is very reasonable.
This kid should be more anxious than him to know if it was Old Man Li who was arrested and put in prison by the official?
"And ...... A son came with him. ”
Seeing that the old man was unhurried and ignored himself, the old servant was a little anxious, and hurriedly added.
"Bastard, why didn't you say it earlier?"
As soon as he heard the old servant say that there were other people accompanying Ai Ye, Zhang Huzi was a little busy, glared at the old servant and reprimanded him, and quickly dusted off his sleeves and walked out.
Zhang Huzi is a mixed man, he knows that his old servant has never lied in his mouth, since he said that he is a son, it seems that the child does not know where to find someone with identity.
For people with status, Zhang Huzi, who is now a ** lake, has always been respectful.
This is also an important reason why Zhang Huzi has eaten so well in Wuzhou City in recent years.
"Oh, I said eldest nephew, where did you run away quietly yesterday, but I was in a hurry, uncle, and I was about to go out of the city to look for you......"
Zhang Huzi walked out with a babbling mouth, and then saw Xie Xiang standing behind Ai Ye, and couldn't help but praise it in his heart first: "Good girl, whose son is really handsome." ”
"Yo, this son is ......"
Zhang Huzi hurriedly bowed his hand to Xie Xiang.
