Chapter 29: The Shepherd
Seeing this man, Ruan Bai realized that the craftsmen he saw in the morning were not even thin.
Xu Wu's clan brothers are obviously better than others. After all, there is a brother who is the general flag, and he can always take care of some.
The man in front of him is not so much skinny as a skeleton with human skin. His hair was scorched and thin, and his clothes were ragged.
Xu Wu's two clan brothers paused, stretched out their hands to pull, but Ruan Bai waved his hand to stop: "What's your name?" โ
The man raised his head suddenly, revealing a face that he couldn't see clearly without knowing whether it was stained with tears or blood, he shook his lips, lowered his head and said, "Villain Tang Xinhou." โ
The scene was a little chaotic before, but now Ruan Bai heard it clearly, this person still spoke authentic official dialect, at least more authentic than him.
After having one more Tian Kaifu, he has more people who can communicate with officials, and theoretically there should be a Chu Hao, but in fact, Chu Hao can only be counted half, or minus 0.5. In front of him, this person almost didn't speak serious official dialect, but Xijing dialect mixed with Shunyang dialect, plus the dialect he learned from the army that he didn't know where, it was simply confusing, and Yan zhรฒng slowed down his learning progress, and the legendary pig teammate said this kind of person.
The pig teammate slowly drank a sip of boiled water, but his movements seemed to be tasting tea, elegant and oppressive, and asked, "Where are you from?" When? What did you do? What's going to happen? โ
Tang Xinhou lowered his head, and his voice was clear in replying: "The villain was born in Zhai City, and later entered the Wei Palace. Three years ago, King Wei had an incident, and the villain was implicated in the assassination of Shunyang. The villain used to herd cattle and sheep at home, and managed some cattle and horses pulling carts in the palace of King Wei, and occasionally some livestock such as dogs and sheep. โ
Zhaicheng is in northern Xinjiang and is one of the few horse grazing lands in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Almost every family there has cattle and sheep, and there is no shortage of horses in better conditions. The surname Tang is a big surname in Zhaicheng. Of course, Tang Xinhou was not a member of the Yanzhi, and after barely achieving a small success in his studies, he was recommended to the Wei Wangfu stationed in the northern Xinjiang at that time. At that time, he also used some small means for this quota, but he didn't expect that in just a few months, King Wei rebelled......
At that time, he said that he was working in the Wei Palace, but in fact the scope of his activities was only in the stables and the back kitchen. The Wei Wangfu is heavily controlled, and he is one of the last people, to put it bluntly, he is just a long-term worker, and he has not even seen the face of a serious master for a few months.
Ruan Bai's expression remained unchanged, but Chu Hao only felt that the mood of these two dogs suddenly improved, and the reason was too simple. It's just that someone sent a pillow to sleep, and the Tang Xinhou in front of him appeared at the right time.
"Very good, pack up your things, see if there are any formalities that need to be done, and go back with me today." Ruan Bai agreed very happily, and said to the two brothers of the Xu family, "You are the same. โ
When the three of them heard this, they were all grateful: "Thank you, sir." โ
Xu Wu saw the opportunity: "The subordinates will take three people down and complete the formalities." โ
Ruan Bai nodded, and waited for the four of them to leave before asking Chu Hao: "Was that Tang Xinhou really so unlucky just now?" โ
Chu Hao lazily raised his eyes to look at him, and said for a long time: "I thought you really trusted him so much." He took the bowl in front of Ruan Bai and called the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, change a bowl of hot water!" โ
The shopkeeper answered, quickly changed two bowls of hot water, and retreated silently.
"No way. Where is the horse breeder so easy to find, even if you have to tie up a few Huns, you can't find it at this time, right? "About this, Ruan Bai really has a headache, "The sheep in the house are easy to say, it is nothing more than a bite to eat." But horses are different, they will be of great use in the future, and they can't be raised directly as sheep. โ
In fact, the people in the barren post are all border people, almost all of them have one or two cattle and sheep and other livestock in their original homes, and even a few like Pan Daning, and some common diseases of livestock will also be cured, which is worth half a veterinarian.
But now in the barren post, there are small-scale herds of cattle and sheep, and they are a little blind, and their professional Cheng is even inferior to the third and fourth.
Chu Hao nodded, and shook his head again: "That Tang Xinhou's bottom is definitely not as simple as he said." There is also a shortage of horses in the army, and if he really does what he said, even if he is a thief with the army, he will not fall into that situation. "But there are no extra people in the army, he can find someone from Xijing, but Yuanshui can't save the near fire, plus Xijing is not the only one who can call the shots, thinking of what is said in the family letter, he doesn't want to have anything to do with Xijing, at least not for a short time.
"Hmm." Ruan Bai raised the corners of his mouth slightly and took a sip of water. He just needs a horse breeder, and don't play tricks under his nose if he is smart, otherwise he will also have tricks to play with people.
Chu Hao sat opposite, watching the heat directly pick up Ruan Bai's eyelashes, and the whole teenager felt soft. He picked up the bowl in front of him and slammed it dry!
The hot water that has just been changed for a long time is not hot, but it can't stand Chu Hao's way to drink. There is nothing to restrain or not restrain himself, he just squirts.
Poofโโ
Ruan Bai was caught off guard and was sprayed by Chu Hao.
Chu Hao didn't care about his scalded tongue, and quickly leaned over to wipe Ruan Bai's face. When the finger crossed his eyebrows, Ruan Bai naturally closed, and when he opened it again, the ferocity in his eyes almost turned into substance.
Boom!
Chu Hao almost heard the sound of his own heartbeat, and watched with a dry mouth as Ruan Bai grabbed his wrist and pressed his hand to the table. The mana of the male ghost seems to be advanced again, why can't he move?
"Baby, are you still spitting up?"
Ruan Bai finished speaking softly, took a handkerchief and wiped his face and hair. The place that was rubbed by Chu Hao's palm always felt a little strange, as if it had left a body temperature that had not subsided for a long time, transmitting a not very wonderful signal.
"Second brother." Chu Hao shouted a little angrily, "I'm sorry, my brother didn't mean it." โ
"Huh." Ruan Bai sneered, stood up and put on his shoes, caught a glimpse of Chu Hao's somewhat awkward expression out of the corner of his eye, and explained faster than his brain, "I'll go and see if Li Niang has finished shopping." Later you bring those people back. โ
"Hey!" Chu Hao smiled, and then felt that he was a little stupid with joy, so he forcibly stopped his expression, reshaped his face into a non-smiling face, and raised the corners of his mouth from time to time, which made the hearts of people who saw him in the afternoon chill.
Even Mu Caiying, who had been preparing to provoke him, subconsciously hid to the side.
Tian Kaifu also wanted to hide. He and Chu Hao grew up together, but they had never seen Chu Hao like this. Where is this stimulated?
Chu Hao even took the initiative to greet Tian Kaifu: "Lao Tian! โ
Tian Kaifu's whole body almost jumped. At another time, of course, he would be ecstatic. After all, when he was a teenager, Chu Hao just politely called him Brother Tian; Until now, Chu Hao still just politely called him Lord Tian.
But now...... Something is wrong, something is very wrong! At this moment, he was deeply aware that he Lao Tian ...... No, although Tian Kaifu has a deep love for Chu Hao, he has not yet reached the promise of life and death!
"Lord Chu." When things go wrong, there must be demons.
Before Chu Hao could speak, he grinned first: "Who are the two people following you?" โ
Tian Kaifu replied even more respectfully, and said, "Back to Lord Chu, these two people were found by the lower officials from the auxiliary army, and they plan to recommend them to Lord Ruan as post guards. There can be four places in the sixth-class post, which should be enough. โ
Chu Hao's eyes showed interest: "Oh? โ
Tian Kaifu knew that Chu Hao hated the idea of others beating Ruan Bai the most, and explained with a numb scalp: "Xiaguan is not calculating Lord Ruan. These two people were carefully selected by the lower officials...... Of course, what Xia Guan said doesn't count, and Lord Ruan has to nod. โ
Chu Hao glanced at the two people behind Tian Kaifu: "Then you can show the person to the second brother in a while." He should be going back soon, and I advise you to go find him quickly. โ
Tian Kaifu didn't know what Chu Hao meant when he said this, but he still followed the words to find someone.
If Ruan Bai wants to prepare to go back, he first has to meet with Li Niang and the others. The whole Guancheng is just a little place to buy and sell things, and with a very eye-catching ox cart, it is simply impossible to find it better.
Not long after Tian Kaifu walked away, Mu Caiying came out of the corner, subconsciously followed up, and saw Tian Kaifu and Ruan Bai talking, so he muttered in a low voice: "Second brother? โ
Over there, Tian Kaifu already knew the reason, looking at the two people behind him, he frowned, and pulled Ruan Bai to the side and took a few steps: "These two people look ordinary now, and they have also missed the best age to practice martial arts, if they are given a chance, their achievements now will definitely not be lower than that of Lord Chu...... Well, a little lower than Lord Chu. โ
What level Chu Hao is, Ruan Bai still doesn't know. But he also knew that Chu Hao's martial arts might be enough to reach the superhuman level in the eyes of ordinary people. At present, these two people are the talented people mentioned in martial arts novels?
Ruan Bai was a little moved: "But they have missed the best age." "He started studying at the age of eighteen in his last life, and he has already suffered enough. Coupled with the fact that he is poor and rich in martial arts, he doesn't even have a brick for a post now, can he afford two people to practice martial arts? He didn't even plan for himself.
"That's better than the average postman." Tian Kaifu was very confident, "Although there is Shunyang Pass here, the Huns are not without other ways to bypass the checkpoint. Even if there were no Huns, the road was not without danger. As a post man to send letters and goods back and forth, you still need to have some ability. โ
Ruan Bai thought for a while and nodded: "Then stay and have a look first." Five people, just right. โ
Tian Kaifu reminded: "But there can only be four postmen in the sixth-class post. "Could it be that he is trying to figure out some other means to increase the number of places?
"Of course." Ruan Bai nodded, "Observe the last month, and when the time comes, the worst and the unsuitable will be directly eliminated, won't there be only four people left?" โ
Tian Kai was stunned, and then felt that this was a good idea: "What Brother Ruan said is very true. โ
