21. Accumulation of goodness (I)

It was not someone else who made a hand gesture for Hu Fulang, it was Zhao Xi, the old housekeeper of Yuzhang Villa.

In addition to Zhao Xi, Zhao and Ju were also there, and he stood beside Zhao Xi with a cold expression.

Like Hu Fulang, Zhao Youju asked Zhao Xi to ask the neighborhood about the cause of the incident, but unlike Hu Fulang, he saw more and more distant things.

The so-called "uncontrollable temperament" of the young man surnamed Li is a symbol of his naughtiness in the eyes of these people, but in the eyes of Zhao and Ju, it is just that he is curious. He always causes trouble, and that's because he always wants to change the recipe of the explosion, which was originally the only way to explore the mysteries of the unknown world, but in the eyes of these people, it is dishonest!

Zhao Youju sighed, don't blame these mediocre people, they can only see three or five inches in front of their eyebrows.

Over there, Hu Fulang signed the paperwork with Li Er, and after drawing the charge, he gave the money and led the young man surnamed Li to Zhao Heju's side. But Zhao Xi made a hand gesture, and Hu Fulang understood, so he walked past the two of them, but he didn't say hello.

When he arrived at a place where no one was around, the young man surnamed Li - now Hu Fulang already knew his name, called Li Yilao, and knelt down to Hu Fulang with a tom: "Thank you for saving your life!" ”

Hu Fulang smiled and pulled him up: "But it wasn't me who saved you, it was my boss who ordered me to save you, if it was just me, I wouldn't be able to take out those fifty yuan." ”

Li Yilao was stunned when he heard this: "The owner? ”

"I'll take you to the owner tomorrow, and I'll rest the night at my place." Hu Fulang said.

He also had some doubts in his heart, as far as he knew, Zhao and Ju were getting along with the children in Yixue every day, how could they be here today, and how could they signal him to accept this child?

"Yes, he has more than 30 bought servants at home, and it doesn't hurt to add more of them......

Hu Fulang is not Zhao and Ju after all, and he is very different from Zhao and Ju in looking at problems. Buying Li Yilao, Zhao and Ju are not simply merciful, but also have other purposes.

Li Yilao's heart was panicked, although he was well fed and slept warmly, but he tossed and turned all night. In Li Er's house, although he was beaten and scolded, he was used to it, but now that he was going to be taken to a strange owner by this seemingly very kind person, he always felt a little confused, and he didn't know whether it was evil or lucky.

Therefore, after being woken up by Hu Fulang the next day, his eyes were bloodshot, which frightened Hu Fulang a lot: "Are you sick?" ”

"No, no, just overnight...... Can't sleep. Li Yilao looked at Hu Fulang and asked cautiously: "Big brother benefactor, ...... the owner?"

Hu Fulang was less than thirty years old, and he had a round and chubby face, so he was called the eldest brother by Li Yilao. Hearing him inquire about the owner, Hu Fulang smiled: "You will know when you see it, what kind of person the owner is...... I can't tell. ”

After speaking, Hu Fulang was stunned, he really couldn't describe his young owner in words. However, a young child is not only intelligent and wise, but also far-sighted, as if he is an old man who has gone through countless stories. He had lived with Yu Zhangshan Villa for a while, and those days with Zhao and Ju were almost day and night, and it was rare to see Zhao and Ju laughing, and when he laughed occasionally, it was also that faint shallow.

Li Yilao was unharmed, and the two of them rushed to Yuzhang Villa on the same horse. Yuzhang Villa is not next to the official road, and Hu Fulang remembers that after leaving the official road, he has to walk more than 20 miles. It is a country road, which is naturally rugged and curved, and there is a lot of water in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is necessary to cross the bridge every time you pass through it. Some of the bridges were built with money donated by squires and celebrities, and it was extremely convenient to walk, but more often they were simple wooden bridges with three or five pine trees tied together. About five or six miles away from Yuzhang Villa, there was such a wooden bridge, and when Hu Fulang passed by, he saw many people carrying stones by the bridge.

"Excuse me, big brother, is this to build a bridge?" Hu Fulang stopped his horse and asked.

"All the children of Yuzhang Villa (Note 1) do good deeds and accumulate virtues." The stonemason's voice was very loud: "The whole widow made a big wish to build ten bridges for the township, and this is only the first one!" ”

Hu Fulang nodded, and said in response: "Sure enough, it's a good family, thank you." ”

The two continued to move forward, and Li Yilao, who was originally dozing off the horse, listened to the conversation between Hu Fulang and the stonemason, and the doze was gone. He was originally a bold young man, otherwise he would not have been taught repeatedly, and he felt that Hu Fulang was kind, so he boldly said: "The master saved me, and he is also such a good family." ”

"You kid is treacherous too!" Hu Fulang laughed and scolded, Li Yilao was obviously praising the master, but he was actually asking him about the character of the owner, how could he hide this little trick. After thinking about it, Hu Fulang said: "The owner is extremely benevolent and righteous, but if he disobeys him, his methods ...... It's not comparable to your second uncle's two bamboo whips. ”

Li Yilao's heart sank, in his opinion, the second uncle is the most vicious person in the world, listening to Hu Fulang's tone, the master who bought him was more ruthless than the second uncle, which made him even more uneasy.

"Hugh is going to be cranky, you take a nap, and I'll call you when it's time." He was thinking about it, but Hu Fulang pushed him.

Li Yilao was indeed sleepy, so he leaned on Hu Fulang's arms and took a nap, although the horse was unhappy, but it was extremely steady, and it was not long before he fell asleep in a shake. In the dream, he came to a very large mansion, the owner of the mansion was a white-haired old man, who was smiling and very kind when he saw everyone, and Hu Engong said that he was the owner. But not long after, another thin man appeared in a dream, arguing that he was the owner, scolding himself for not saluting him, and chasing him with a bamboo whip. Li Yilao ran desperately, and when he saw his dead father, he fled to him, but when he was caught by him, Li Yilao found out that it was the second uncle!

Then he was woken up by Hu Fulang.

"This is the owner's Zhuangzi." Pointing to a courtyard in front of him, Hu Fulang said with a smile.

The first impression of this village was that of the lush camphor trees. Among the camphor trees, there are also some bamboos, although it is a harsh winter, the bamboo leaves are still green, so that the whole village is surrounded by green shade.

The gate of the village is not big, the lacquer on it looks a little old, and there are no evil slaves with horizontal eyebrows and vertical eyes at the door. Li Yilao's heart was even more nervous, and when he got off the horse, he didn't stand firm and almost fell.

Then, he saw a person poke his head out of the porter, glanced at them, and when he saw Hu Fulang, the man smiled: "The big shopkeeper is here, Da Lang said, please go to the study when you come." ”

Hu Fulang nodded, and instructed the man: "This kid was bought by Da Lang yesterday, you let him bake the fire in the gatehouse, and bring some tea and snacks with him." ”

(When Li Yilao came to the fresh place, he felt strange when he saw anything in his eyes, and when he saw that the porter was rummaging through things, he quietly went up to take a look, and only saw a large number of flowers, which he had never seen before.) He was curious, but he forgot to be inhibited, and asked in a stubborn manner, "Brother Concierge, what is this?" The porter glanced at him, and his expression revealed a bit of disdain: "Don't you even know the recommendation ticket?" At a glance, you can see that you only read books and don't vote! Li Yilao's face turned red, and he stammered: "I vote, I vote, I will vote!" ”)
