Liang Jia drank the gruel and ate half of the nest, which can be regarded as having some strength. Looking at Xiaohua's eyes, he handed over the nest head in his hand and said with a smile: "The amount of food is small, and I can't finish eating." ”

"That's a good feeling." Xiaohua was also polite, snatched it with her hand, and stuffed it in one bite.

After drinking the remaining gruel, Liang Jia sat down to rest, preparing to leave after a while. Xiaohua had already stepped aside to chop wood, and he could split the thick roots directly with an axe, and he didn't even need a second blow, which was powerful enough.

It seems that there is a bodyguard who looks like a cow when he knows him, thinking of this, Liang Jia suddenly had an idea.

He was not in a hurry to leave, and after the old woman finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, he began to put the old woman's words on and off.

The old woman's surname was Xu and she married a man surnamed Zhou. Later, the man joined the army and went to war, and once he left, he was never heard from again. The old woman was alone with the little flowers.

At first, he could afford to raise it, but when Xiaohua was twelve or thirteen years old, the amount of food increased greatly, and he couldn't afford to feed Xiaohua by relying on the income from washing people's clothes.

Xiaohua can also chop firewood to sell and increase her income. But these incomes can't buy much at all, and life is hungry and full.

Even so, Xiaohua's body has grown taller and stronger, and now it is 1.8 meters tall, and her body is as strong as a yak.

"Auntie, don't you have any land in your family?"

"Instead, he rented two acres of land from Wang Yuanwai's house. However, this year's drought is severe, and the grain harvested is not enough to pay the rent. The old woman sighed.

"Auntie, my family still has a lot of resources, if you can, I think Xiaohua has a lot of strength, you can hire my bodyguard, the salary will be determined later, but you can ensure that you have enough food every day." Liang Jia stated his purpose.

The old woman glanced at Liang Jia, and couldn't figure out Liang Jia's identity, so naturally she couldn't agree.

She hesitantly glanced at Xiaohua, who was chopping wood, and asked, "I don't know where Gongzi's family lives?" What does it do at home? ”

"The family is in the capital, and the family can be regarded as an official. Yesterday, I went out of Beijing with my friends to play, and I encountered robbers on the way, and my companions and I scattered and fled, and I came here unintentionally. Fortunately, my aunt gave me food, otherwise I would have starved to death. ”

"Childe is polite. You'll have to ask Xiaohua about this to see what he thinks. ”

After the old woman finished speaking, she called Xiaohua over.

After hearing his mother say that he should follow Liang Jia, he was a hired bodyguard, and he looked at Liang Jia suspiciously.

"I have a lot of strength, I don't know martial arts, and I'm afraid I can't keep you safe as a bodyguard." The little flower urn said angrily.

"Don't worry, I have a girl in my family with excellent martial arts, I can let her call you."

"Childe is not kind, you have a master to protect you, why do you need to hire me?" Xiaohua is not stupid.

"She's a woman, it's not too convenient."

"Oh, you're not going to let me do bad things, are you?"

"You're just my bodyguard, keeping me safe, how could you let you do bad things."

"And what if you're a bad person?"

"Huh?"

Liang Jia was speechless for a moment, good people and bad people, just talking about it is not convincing. After thinking for a while, he said helplessly: "In this way, you follow me first, if you look at my behavior like a bad person, you can leave on your own, and I will pay you double the salary, what do you think?" ”

"That's not going to work either. If I leave, my mother will have no one to take care of me. ”

"You can take your mother, and after you arrive in the capital, I will find someone to settle you down."

"Mother, what do you see?" Xiaohua looked at her mother.

"I don't know if I'm a mother, after all, we've lived here for so many years, and it's very reluctant to leave all of a sudden." The old woman said with emotion.

"This place should not be far from the capital, this house can be kept, come back and see it when you are homesick." Liang Jia said with a smile.

Seeing that the mother and son were still hesitating, Liang Jia said again: "After Xiaohua went, she not only ate enough, but also ate well. As for the eldest lady, if you don't want to be idle, I can find you an easy job. If you don't want to move, I will send someone to deliver rice and money every month. ”

"Mother, I can see it."

Seeing that Xiaohua nodded in agreement, the old woman didn't have any opinion. However, Liang Jia did not return to Beijing with them today, because he did not dare to guarantee whether the gang of his abductors was still searching for him.

If he can't find it, it is very likely that the gang will be waiting for him near the capital to throw himself into the net, but for now he still finds a way to continue to a safe place, and at the same time leaves a mark for Ying Yue, hoping that Ying Yue can find him as soon as possible.

He didn't wait for Xiaohua and his mother to pack up their things and tell them how to find people in the capital, Liang Jia left Xiaohua's house and continued to travel east.

Before leaving, he asked Xiaohua for a set of clothes that he was about ten years old for, and even so, it looked wide on Liang Jia's body.

Liang Jia did not take the main road, and continued eastward along the path in the fields, passing several villages along the way, and only then did he see a market town at noon.

The market town is not small, with two main roads dividing the town into four. Liang Jia continued eastward, all the way to the easternmost part of the market town, and stopped.

There is a small stall in the easternmost part of the market town, which seems to sell some tea and snacks, and a middle-aged couple is busy entertaining the few three guests.

After observing and seeing that there was no threat, Liang Jia walked over.

At the cost of scrubbing the dishes and chopsticks, Liang Jia got a meal. The middle-aged couple had a good attitude, and did not scold or despise Liang Jia because he exchanged labor for food, but took care of him.

Because there are not many guests, Liang Jia is not very tired. In this way, until the evening, when Liang Jia had washed everything and was about to leave after eating a meal, an accident suddenly happened.

More than thirty men in black suddenly surrounded the tea stall.

When the middle-aged couple saw the sudden arrival of these people, they panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them. But as soon as the uncle surnamed Wu walked up to the man in black and asked if he wanted to eat, he was kicked back by a man in black.

"Wu Zhengqian, what kind of tricks are you playing in front of Lao Tzu?"

After rolling on the ground a few times, Uncle Wu patted the dust on his body, slowly stood up, pushed away his wife who ran to his side, and said to the man in black: "I didn't expect you to find this place so quickly." ”

"So fast? I've been looking for you for ten years. Hand over the things, Lao Tzu will protect your whole body, otherwise you and your wife will die without a place to bury. Oh yes, a family of four. The man in black who did it said angrily, waved his hand, and two figures dragged up by two subordinates behind him.

"Light snow! Light rain! When Wu Zhengqian and his wife saw the two unconscious figures, their faces suddenly changed greatly, and they wanted to rush over directly.

But after rushing a few steps, he hurriedly stopped, because the two figures had a long sword across their necks at the same time.

"Duan Fei, you dare to hurt my daughter, don't you want to get anything from me!" Wu Zhengqian yelled.

"So, let's make a deal. Give me the things, you two cut off on yourselves, and I can let your daughter go. ”

"How can I trust you?" Wu Zhengqian said angrily.

"You don't have any other choice." Duan Fei said coldly.

Wu Zhengqian and his wife hesitated, and Liang Jia was also a little puzzled when he looked at it on the side. What is so important, more important than the lives of the two daughters?

Liang Jia felt that if it were him, he would definitely choose to exchange things for his daughter without hesitation.

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Zhengqian gritted his teeth and said, "Okay." I promise you. But it's not on me, I need to get it. ”
