Chapter 5: Deer Hunting (Part 5)

In Li Xu's heart, he has long regarded Sun Jiu as one of his relatives. Hearing Wang Mazi say that things are still taking a turn for the better, Hugh said that he would write a letter, even if he wanted him to go to Yuyang in person, he would be willing to do so. immediately went out of the account to find a pen and paper, ready to save the captain of the school. After the ink was soaked in wolf's hair, he suddenly remembered that he had never even asked the name of the infantry captain.

"General Bu's name is a single soldier, and the little old man once inquired on the way home!" Wang Mazi was a little bit eye-catching, and when he saw that Li Xu didn't write after lifting the brush, he immediately guessed that he didn't remember the name of the captain of the step. Uncle Zhang on the other side changed his face when he heard this, if Li Xu didn't even ask the other party's name that day, the friendship must have been general. With the friendship of Pingshui meeting, I am afraid that the captain of the step school will not have much spare work. Moreover, as a captain of the Tiger Iron Cavalry, he went to inquire about local government affairs, which could not be regarded as a matter of effort.

Li Xu has been training behind Xu Dayan for so long, and he is no longer as scheming as when the sun rises. Seeing that Uncle Zhang's face suddenly turned cold, he knew that he was worried about Uncle Jiu's future. He smiled, put down his pen, lowered his head, took out a jade bottle from the wooden box in the corner of the room, and placed it on the table.

"I don't know if this wine glass can make the county magistrate less angry?" Li Xu asked while continuing to revise the book.

"That, that, that will naturally, it will dissipate, dissipate some anger!" Uncle Zhang's eyes were straight by the color of jade, and he stammered in reply. He knew that Li Xu's status in the Su Si Department was not low, but he never expected that after half a year, an ignorant young man suddenly became so rich. The things in officialdom have always been where they don't smear oil and where they don't turn. There is such a jade bottle sent up, and it is said that it is to buy the county order to release Sun Jiuyi, that is, it is enough to buy the county guard to put pressure on the county order.

"Brother Jiu is too, too much to believe in those who are officials and officials!" Wang Mazi swallowed and sighed. A jade bottle is enough for the price of hundreds of sheep. If Brother Jiu didn't fight with the government last year, everyone would have shared the jade bottle, and they would have been able to go home to retire in the future. Now it's a good thing, the two horses didn't get their money back, and hundreds of sheep stuck in it again!

"Uncle Wang, give me all your goods. Early tomorrow morning, I will trouble you and the Xu family to rush back to the Central Plains, hand over this letter to Captain Bu, and then use this jade bottle to take care of Uncle Jiu! Li Xu put down the pen and said while blowing the ink on the paper.

Putting Uncle Jiu's life-saving money in Wang Mazi's hands, he really didn't dare to rest assured. But there is no one to trust at the moment, so I have to let the men of the Xu family supervise Wang Mazi's actions. The elders of the Xu family already knew about Xu Dayan's alliance with himself. With the help of the good brother, the backer fox and the fake tiger, presumably the guys will not dare to disobey.

This was already an obvious distrust, and Wang Mazi immediately darkened his face. But he didn't dare to do it to Li Xufa, so he had to force his anger and agree. Li Xu looked at the other party's face, knowing that his careful thoughts had been guessed, shook his head, and added with a smile: "Don't worry, the goods will be handed over to me to sell, and I will never lose money." I still have some gold and silver here, and when you save Uncle Nine from trouble, I will definitely thank you for the benefits! ”

After speaking, he lifted the lid of the storage box where he stored gold and silver, revealing half of the yellow and white things.

"Do your best for Brother Jiu, too, and it should be. You, you are still young, this money should, should be saved, save up, say, say daughter-in-law! Wang Mazi's throat moved desperately, and the words were no longer sentenced. The gems and gold jade in the box were enough for him to have food and clothing for half his life. Since Li Xu promised everyone to share the account today, in the future, in front of Sun Jiu, even if he regrets it, he will take out part of it to respond to the story. And with one or two of these treasures, who still has to go all the way to suffer from the wind and frost on the plug. Find a face in the downtown of the big city, and you can eat and drink spicy food in the second half of your life......

Li Xu took out a few pieces of silverware and handed them to Wang Mazi as a coil on the road. Uncle Mazi smiled with joy, and forgot all the offense just now. After finalizing all the details, Wang Mazi put away the letter and coiled, raised his hand and pulled the two young people who followed him in front of Li Xu.

"This, this is Lao Zhang and Xiao Lao'er's dogs, your two nephews, think, want to beg for food on the plug. Please, please, Lord Lee, take care of it! Wang Mazi explained while arching his hand to Li Xu.

"I've seen Uncle Li!" The two young people, who were several years older than Li Xu, immediately bowed down, and shouted affectionately with Uncle Li.

Li Xu had long noticed the two young people following Wang Mazi, and had always thought that they were hired by Uncle Zhang and Wang Mazi. Suddenly, the other party was a generation older, and he was caught off guard. Hurriedly dodged to the side, and while reaching out to support the other party, he didn't even dare to say it.

Third Uncle Zhang saw Li Xu's embarrassed expression, and was afraid that he would refuse to take him in. Immediately stepped forward and prayed: "Li, Master Li, the second child knows that he can't stand you." But Xiao Lao'er is such a son, and he can't watch him being dragged to Liaodong by the government. You, you can do it, let them eat with you in the Kabu! After saying that, he lifted his clothes and wanted to bow down.

Wang Mazi saw that Zhang San said desolately, and also rushed forward and bowed down. Li Xu picked up this, but couldn't stop that. I had to bite the bullet and agree to it. Now that he is a small rich man, it doesn't take much effort to feed two idlers. Besides, with these two young people here, Uncle Mazi will do his best to run for Uncle Jiu.

"I said a long time ago, Xuzi, no, Master Li is a kind person!" Wang Mazi saw that Li Xu promised to keep his son, and said with a smile. Why Li Xu left the book without reading that day and went out to engage in cheap work, he and Uncle Zhang had already speculated clearly. This year, the counties have begun to recruit soldiers on a large scale, and sending their children to escape outside the city is indeed the best choice for small families. Moreover, his son is far smarter than Li Xu, and he can soar within half a year, and his son will have to become a rich man in a few years.

"The dog is not sensible, and I ask Lord Li to bother. You are their elder, you should clean up them, don't be soft! "Uncle Zhang has seen more of the world than Wang Mazi, and his words are more organized.

Li Xu knew that others had relied on him, so he had to smile and take care of the two young people. The five of them said a few gossips with their hearts, and Ah Yun came in to add tea. Zhang San and Wang Mazi greeted each other with their eyes, stood up and said, "It's not early, we can't disturb the adults to rest anymore, let's go back, I'll be busy with Brother Jiu's affairs tomorrow!" ”

"Early tomorrow morning, I will prepare a fast horse for Uncle Mazi!" Li Xu stood up and yawned in response. Less than half an hour of conversation made him feel more tired than fighting a vicious battle.

When only Ah Yun and him were left in the felt bag, the feeling of weakness came to my heart again. "The government is not so bad!" This is what Uncle Nine swore to him half a year ago. At that time, the old man also advised him not to stay outside the Saiwai and return to the Central Plains as soon as possible after the news of conscription passed. But now, the descendants of Wang Mazi and Zhang San have also fled to outside the Saiwai. The family in the Central Plains is obviously unreturnable in the near future. And Su Si was ......, thinking about the scene when Su Si left to cut the throat of the captive and bleed that day, Li Xu's pores began to tighten.

"Master, do you want to rest in peace?" Ah Yun moved the brazier to Li Xu's feet and asked timidly. The boy in front of her was not as terrible as the legend, and in some ways even gentler than the man on the prairie, and after experiencing a storm last night, she clearly understood this. But the other party is her master after all, and no matter how gentle the master is, it is absolutely as harmful to the slave as a blizzard.

"Sleep! I'll get someone to make you a felt bag tomorrow! Li Xu agreed absentmindedly and planted his head on the felt. There was a hard thump on his chest, and he remembered that there was still a letter from home that he hadn't read. Pulling out the letter by the dim ghee light, he saw his father's stiff and kind handwriting. This kind of family letter has always been a good word, and the father and mother will not say anything to worry their son, who is thousands of miles away, even if they encounter any danger. The occasional hint of longing was quickly diluted by the words of encouragement that he wanted to read as many books as he could in his spare time. However, for what happened to Sun Jiu, his father and mother were very concerned, and repeatedly told Li Xu that if he could do it, he would definitely do everything he could.

"I'll go back as soon as possible!" Putting the letter on his chest, Li Xu thought silently. The night was dark, and all the limbs were not sore, but he could not fall asleep as soon as possible. The savage and ignorant Su Sibu, the affectionate Tao Kuo, and the warm but unable to return home, overlapped and made him toss and turn.

Ah Yun lay quietly on the edge of the charcoal basin, listening to the heavy breathing of the young man not far away. This person is the great nobleman of the Su Si Tribe, except for the patriarch and a few elders, there is hardly any man in the whole country who is more noble than him. This made Ah Yun, who was a slave for the first time, feel a little relieved. According to Xi Bu's life experience, a slave who follows a strong master is far safer than a slave who follows a weak master, so she doesn't have to worry about her life for a short time. But he was too young to anticipate the storm that might arise in front of him. If you don't remind him, you will inevitably be implicated in the future.

Ah Yun, who has become a slave, does not expect that she can return to her former status, she only hopes to live peacefully and quietly, forget the killing of that day, and forget everything that happened in the past.

"Ah Yun, are you asleep?" Suddenly, Li Xu on the felt collapsed asked in a low voice.

"Sleep, no, didn't sleep!" Ah Yun's body immediately stiffened, and she replied in a trembling voice. The kind-hearted Mrs. Wanqing gave her a task, and at the same time, gave her a chance to change her identity. ....... if the host needs it.

Ah Yun felt the brazier suddenly heat up, and the blood all over her body was burning. She knew what she was expecting, and she didn't want to hide any cravings for her body.

"You, do you hate me for storming your tribe?" On the felt collapse, there was the sound of Li Xu turning over, and he asked faintly.

"Hate?" Ah Yun froze, and the enthusiasm immediately disappeared. No one had ever asked her such a thing, and the slave hoop around her neck had stripped her of the power to hate. From the moment she put on this iron ring, she had willingly accepted the fate given to her by the Immortal Heaven.

Hate? Parents, brothers, sisters, countless people who fell in pools of blood and fire. In the nightmarish memory, a man armed with a scimitar slashed the patriarch under his horse.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you?" The voice of the felt collapsed was pleading, as if expecting an answer.

"This is the rule of the steppe, honorable Lord!" Ah Yun wiped the blood from her lips and replied very old-fashionedly.
