Chapter Twenty-Five: Li Hu's Friend
The eldest lord drank a lot, until the end, it was indeed carried out by everyone, looking at the drunken mess of the eldest lord, Li Hu originally thought that he would not go back to the village tonight, and there was nothing to live in the county government for one night, the county government had a special accommodation room arranged for the eldest lord, Li Hu went to see it, it was a small courtyard, although the yard was not big, but it was very elegant, everything in the three houses was brand new, the new person replaced the old person, naturally, whether it was the bed quilt, the table, chairs and benches, and even some large pieces of furniture were brand new.

Originally, the eldest lord was supposed to live here, but from the day the eldest lord took office, the eldest lord went home to live in the past two days, so really counted, the eldest lord didn't even look at this small courtyard that belonged to him.
In the eager eyes of a crowd of large and small catchers, when Li Hu was turning his horse's head and preparing to return to the county government compound, he didn't want to suddenly hear the voice of the eldest lord in the carriage!
"Go home!"
Go home, that is naturally to go back to the village home, immediately stopped turning the horse's head, after a moment of silence, Li Hu asked in a low voice: "Master, it's not early, if we go back now, we will definitely have to get home in the middle of the night, and we will get up early tomorrow morning to rush to the county seat, don't be unbearable for your body, otherwise, we will spend the night in the county government tonight?" ”
When Li Hu said this, he was worried about the people in the carriage, the eldest man drank a lot of wine, and there was a short and not close journey from the county seat to the village, and it was bumpy all the way, Li Hu estimated that the eldest master would definitely vomit at that time.
"It's okay, go back!"
Since the people in the carriage said this, Li Hu naturally didn't insist, and when Li Hu turned his horse's head and was about to rush towards the outside of the county, he saw Yang Putou and a few catchers who were seeing off next to the restaurant.
The head of the Yang shop is named Yang Chengyun, as the first person to take refuge in the old man, Li Hu naturally wants to have a good relationship with him, seeing that Yang Putou leaned over, Li Hu threw an inquiring look at the other party.
"It's dark, it's not good to see the road, and it's so late, the eldest lord has drunk again, but don't go wrong, Brother Li wait a while, I'll call a few brothers to lead the way for the eldest lord in front!"
Although Yang Zhutou said that it was a tone of discussion, the movements on his hands were undoubted, he was born quickly, and he paid attention to action in everything, so after saying this, before Li Hu could talk, Yang Putou followed a few people to mutter, and after a while, I saw that the two of them reflexively turned to the inn, and a few more people went to bring a few horses.
After a few people took a few lanterns from the restaurant, rode on horses and walked in front of the carriage to lead the way, the front four riders opened the way with lanterns, followed by two riders, a total of six catchers followed.
As for the others, although they also wanted to take this opportunity to show their faces in front of the county lord, it was a pity that there were not enough horses, so they had to disperse.
There are four horses in front of the road, and everyone is playing lanterns, but the road is illuminated, and Li Hu's skills in driving the car are already good, so the carriage travels all the way, but it is quite stable, rare, originally Li Hu thought that the old man who drank wine would be spit out on the road, but he walked smoothly along the way, until more than an hour later, he was about to enter the village, and the old man still did not vomit.
When he came to the door of the old man's house, it was already pitch black overhead, and at this time several earth dogs in the village found a group of people, and they barked happily, so that one of them picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at the earth dogs.
The gate of Zhang's house has been locked, there are lights in the yard, after getting out of the carriage, Li Hu, who came to the gate of the courtyard, looked into the house through the crack in the door, and made sure that the lights were indeed still on in the west room, so he knew that the family must not have slept yet, and should be waiting for the eldest master to come back.
"Auntie! I'm Xiaohu, and the big man is back! ”
Knocked lightly on the door, Li Hu shouted at the yard, and when he turned around, he saw that Yang Putou was driving with another catcher, and the old man was already drunk at this moment, and when Li Hu saw the filth at the corner of the old man's mouth, he suddenly woke up, not that the big man didn't vomit along the way, but that he vomited, and he didn't find it.
After hearing a burst of movement in the yard, Li Hu hurriedly turned around, and he didn't think how dirty the filth on the eldest master's body was, so he hurriedly wiped the filth on the eldest master's body with his sleeve.
Before Li Hu could fiddle with it, the courtyard door was opened, and the first to come out was the Wang family wearing a coat, but after seeing a large group of people with lanterns outside, his face stiffened slightly, and the Wang family turned his head back to the house, and shouted at the house: "His third uncle, his uncle, Xiaojie is back with the people from the yamen, come out and have a look!" ”
A group of catchers outside saw some disheveled Wang come out and retreated, but for a while they were a little unable to advance or retreat, after glancing at each other, they glanced at the sleepy old man they were driving, Yang Zhukuai whispered to Li Hu and asked, "The one just now?" Be? ”
"The eldest master's mother!"
That is, when Li Hu replied with a sentence, he saw a few men coming out of the yard, and when he saw the old man who was beating his head, a group of people just didn't need to explain, and naturally they all knew that it was the old lady of the big man's family.
"Why do you drink so much, Xiaojie, this kid, is really ignorant, how can you get drunk by yourself and dry the guests outside, a few of you please sit in the house and have a cup of tea at home!"
The old man warmly invited, but when the eldest man drove to the house, Li Hu and his group also retired, it was so late, people must have to rest, they want to eat tea, and there is an opportunity, but it is not a wise move to disturb the eldest lord's family at this time!
Naturally, at this time, Li Hu wanted to invite a group of catchers to sit at his house, not for anything else, in the past, ordinary people just wanted to make friends with these catchers in the yamen, and people would not buy it.
Of course, the most important thing is that Li Hu naturally knows that if he wants to keep up with the pace of the big man in the future, then he can no longer be as passive as before, and he has to take the initiative to attack everything. It's not just about getting yourself behind the wheel.
And if you want to know the entire county government well, naturally, there is no harm in having a good relationship with these people who have worked hard in the county government for decades.
The enthusiasm of Li Hu's invitation, and the fact that it was indeed very late at this time, took more than an hour to rush to the county seat, and it was already the middle of the night, so a few catchers discussed a few words with each other, and planned to have a cup of tea at Liu Hu's house, and then see if they could find a place to rest their feet, and early tomorrow morning, they could go to the county government with the eldest lord.
Everyone has horses, because there is no big man in the car, Li Hu dares to drive the carriage fast, that is, the kung fu of tea, and a group of people also go from Zhangjia Village to Xiao Li's house.
When he came to the door of his house, he found that the door of the courtyard was not closed, and the lights were also on in the house, and when he saw the woman who came out of the house after hearing the sound, Li Hu said: "Mother, go and boil some tea, the brothers of the county government want to stay here for one night tonight, and they have to bother my mother to go to the neighbor's house to borrow a few quilts!" ”
The little woman who came out of the house was stunned at first when she saw a large group of men leading horses standing in the doorway, and then the little woman who said yes immediately went to the kitchen to boil water. (To be continued.) )
