Chapter Forty-Eight: Care

An old man and a young man talked so much that their eyebrows were flying, and their saliva was flying, and Lu Hong, who had forgotten that he was on the side, couldn't hold on, and snoring all over the place, until a chicken hoof, the two of them reacted, it turned out that the sky was already about to dawn, and Lu Hong also woke up, and saw that the two were still in high spirits, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The sound of the rooster also woke up Gao Yuan, and he couldn't help sighing, when it came to making money, he forgot to go to Ye Jing'er's windowsill, but this night was still very rewarding, not to mention the prospect of the restaurant, just Wu Kai exempted this thousand old accounts, it was enough to make him ecstatic, which means that at the end of the year, he can pay dividends openly.

"Brother Wu, it's dawn, we should go too!" Lu Hong stood up.

It was only at this time that Gao Yuan suddenly remembered something, suddenly came to his senses, and returned to reality, "Lord Wu, Uncle Lu, I almost forgot, there is an important thing to tell you two. It's about the Donghu people."

"What's wrong with the Donghu people?"

"I have a friend of the Huns, according to him, in the fifty-mile buffer zone between us and the Donghu people outside the Curie Pass, there is now a tribe of the Donghu people, and he also said that this Donghu tribe is very likely to make a move on us before the year and come to my Fufeng County to loot!" Gao Yuan said, "We have to prepare in advance."

"Ahem, what else should I be, you fuss!" Wu Kai waved his hand, "It's okay, it's not unheard of before, they want to rob, that is, to rob the village outside Curie Pass, and they can't cross Curie Pass, this is the customary rule between our Dayan and Donghu people, it's okay!"

"Then he robbed the village outside our gate, and we watched him rob it?"

"I'm used to it!" Lu Hong sighed, "They are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, we can't beat them if we want to, fortunately, the people outside the pass are also prepared, once they come, they will run away first, these Donghu people only need money, don't die, rob the property, and naturally leave."

"Then the people were robbed, how can they spend this winter?"

"Every year when something like this happens, the county will subsidize part of it, and you can't let people starve to death anyway, right?" Wu County ordered: "The Donghu people are really hateful, and they come here every year, which makes me break a lot of money."

"I see!" Gao Yuan nodded, "You can earn it again if the money is gone, but if the people are gone, it will be troublesome."

"The virtuous nephew is right, don't worry too much about this, everyone is used to it, after you go back, don't forget to send me the recipe quickly, my restaurant in the county has already begun to make preliminary preparations, ready to open before the year, you can't miss the time."

"Lord Wu, don't worry." Gao Yuan patted his chest.

Out of the gate of the Wu Mansion, Lu Hong looked at Gao Yuan, "Gao Yuan, are you going back to the barracks, or are you going home to live for a day?"

"I'd better go back to the barracks!" Gao Yuan looked at the sky and said, "Lest those rabbit cubs see that I am not there, they will be lawless."

"Well, Gao Yuan, you're good, good!" Lu Hong said slowly: "I am very surprised by your performance, and I am relieved, even if I am not there in the future, you and your eldest brother can survive for a while."

"Uncle, don't worry, I will do my best to support the eldest brother to make great progress, whoever dares to be unfavorable to the eldest brother, I will use a knife to talk to him!" Lofty and righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Okay, okay, with your words, I'm relieved!" Lu Hong hahadaxiao, "I was going to go to the county a few years ago, and by the way, I will also take you to open your eyes!"

"Thank you, uncle!" Gao Yuan was overjoyed, he was just going to Liaoxi County to have a look and learn more about this shijie.

When I returned to the barracks, it was not yet dawn, and Gao Yuan was very pleased that from a distance, he could see that the barracks were brightly lit, the morning class that had become a routine was underway, and the sound of the soldiers' running trumpets could be heard clearly.

The horse's hooves stepped on the ground, in the dark, Sun Xiao and Cao Tiancheng were already in a hurry to rush out, yesterday Gao Yuan a bouquet of plum blossoms as a gift to the Wu County Order of the 50th birthday banquet, and did not come back overnight, so that these two people are very worried, for fear that Gao Yuan has been annoyed and angry Wu County Order to take down, if another soldier Cao comes, it will definitely mean that their happy life will come to an end. Following Gao Yuan, although it is bitter, but in terms of material, compared with them before, it is a heaven and an underground, completely incomparable, Gao Yuan did not return all night, and the two of them almost did not sleep all night, and now they are facing two panda eyes, and they welcomed Gao Yuan into the house with concern.

Although Gao Yuan is not at home, the kang in his room is still burning hot. took off his cloak and lay on the warm kang on all fours, "I'm tired!" He shouted, he hadn't slept for two nights in a row, and it was really hard for him.

"Bing Cao, nothing happened, Wu County Commander didn't embarrass you, right?"

"What am I doing to embarrass me, he is very happy!" Gao Yuan stretched out his hand and pulled over the quilt, covered his head and face, and poked his head out again after a while, "Oh, Tiancheng, by the way, I don't have to pay back the thousand guan money I borrowed from Wu Xianling, Wu Xianling was very interested in the gift I gave, and generously exempted this thousand guan money, in this way, we will have a sum of money at the end of the year, well, the days are much more comfortable, I thought about it, you go to the bazaar to buy a batch of cowhides, let's make a leather armor for the brothers, poor to see, we are a hundred people, not even a body of armor, we can't afford the iron armor, Leather armor doesn't cost much, but it can still play a role in some protection, right? You do the math, how much it costs to buy cowhide plus the sales system and make the armor, just make a front chest and back armor, and then give the brothers a bracer to make a cowhide, that's all, now I want to sleep. Don't bother me!"

After saying this, even the head and face were covered, and after a while, there was a snoring sound. The rest of Sun Xiao and Cao Tiancheng looked at each other.

"I don't have to pay it back?" Sun Xiao looked at Cao Tiancheng and asked in disbelief, a thousand guan, for him, it is completely an astronomical amount, with his current military salary, if he doesn't eat or drink, it will take nearly a hundred years to pay off.

"Bing Cao is really a god!" Cao Tiancheng also shook his head again and again, "No matter, it's good to follow Bing Cao anyway, Sun Xiao, I have to do what Bing Cao ordered immediately, otherwise he will inevitably be angry when he wakes up and sees that I haven't done it, you take care of it at home, don't bother Bing Cao!"

"I know, don't worry, that one dares to bare his teeth, see that I don't kill him!"

The two of them exited the room as they spoke.

Gao Yuan slept very sweetly this night, and he didn't even get up to eat lunch, Sun Xiao also guarded Gao Yuan's orders, and let him sleep for a natural awakening, only until it was getting late, Gao Yuan stretched out with satisfaction, and climbed up on the warm kang, and when he saw the sky, he was startled.

Sleep until you wake up naturally, count the money to the hand cramps, this is the highest state of life, but unfortunately, it is such a day to sleep until you wake up naturally, it is not much for yourself, as for counting the money to hand cramps, this is completely unimaginable, even if there is money in hand, Gao Yuan is also the left hand in, the right hand out, not much at all.

After finishing the noodles, it was ready for dinner, and the door knocked softly, Cao Tiancheng was holding a tray with two mixed noodles and another bowl of mutton soup, the difference was that Cao Tiancheng also brought a small plate of pickles. Sun Xiao also walked in.

"Bingcao, it's time to eat!" Cao Tiancheng put the tray on the table and said.

"Uh-huh, have you all eaten it?"

"I've eaten, I've eaten!" The two said in unison.

"Sit down, I have something to tell you, let's talk while eating!" Gao Yuan pointed to the stool and said.

While nibbling on the mixed noodles and drinking mutton soup, I didn't eat all day, but I was really hungry.

"By the way, Lao Cao has a lot of things to do now, and there are fewer soldiers, I am going to raise a new one, and I will also share the burden with Sun Xiao, what do you think?" After taking a sip of the soup, Gao Yuan slurred his words.

"It's all up to the soldiers." Two people.

"So, who do you think is suitable?" Putting down the soup bowl and looking at the two of them, Gao Yuan asked very seriously.

"I think Yan Haibo is suitable!" Cao Tiancheng immediately said, these days, he can also see that Gao Yuan is looking at Yan Haibo differently, Yan Haibo is also angry, although he is only sixteen years old, but at the moment, whether it is liliang speed and other military qualities, it is not as good as Sun Xiao.

"I think he's the right fit, too!"

"That's him!" Gao Yuan is simply authentic." After Sun Xiao went down, he told him, from tomorrow onwards, let him do everything he should do, and you teach him more."

"Yes, Hyosa!"

"By the way, Lao Cao, Sun Xiao is a bachelor, the whole family is not hungry, I heard Sun Xiao say last time, you still have a wife and a baby?"

"Yes, I live in Xiawa Village, a daughter is sixteen years old, and a son is just twelve years old!" Cao Tiancheng said with a smile.

"Sixteen-year-old daughter, married, right?" Gao Yuan asked casually.

"Not yet, my family used to be so poor, I basically can't get money here to support my family, my daughter has to help her mother at home, our family is too poor, who is willing to marry, isn't this making trouble for yourself?" Cao Tiancheng shook his head and said, "It's delayed, it's delayed!"

"It's only sixteen years old, don't worry, Lao Cao, I think so, this Donghu people are patronized again and again, although Xiawa Village is in the Guannei, but it is not far from the Curie Pass, I think there is some danger, you simply take your wife and children to live in the army, so as not to worry about you."

"This, this is not in accordance with the rules!"

"What are the rules and regulations, your wife is here, you can't just eat and not work, we don't even have a husband, your wife is here, let her do this first, I will still pay, how about it? In this way, the brothers below don't have to take turns to cook, to be honest, the things that our brothers have made are really unpalatable, look at this nest, it's as hard as a stone, it's a loss to my teeth, and this mutton soup, good haode mutton, the flute is ruined, this pickle, it's trying to salty people, salt is precious! Bring your wife, Sun Xiao doesn't have a wife, otherwise he will also take it, why don't we take care of the things within our authority, isn't it?" Gao Yuan is inadvertently authentic.

Cao Tiancheng paused for a moment, and when Sun Xiao looked over, he found that there were tears flashing in his eyes. Hurriedly touched him, "Lao Cao, don't thank you Bing Cao yet!"

Cao Tiancheng stood up and slammed deeply towards Gao Yuan, "Bing Cao is very kind, Tiancheng is unforgettable."

"After finishing the business at hand, hurry up, take two brothers, ride a horse, go back quickly, I find that this team, leaving me, this is going to leave you, but it will be a mess!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.
