After dealing with the day's hall affairs, Zhang Chu was dizzy and surrounded by four close brothers, and went home in the twilight.

In winter, it gets dark quickly, and a group of five people has only walked a stick of incense, and the sky is completely dark, and the human eye can only see the scenery within three or two meters in front of them.

This situation and this scene reminded Zhang Chu of the night when Cheng Daniu ambushed him.

He glanced around the four close brothers surrounding him.

"It's time to expand the staff!"

He said secretly.

"Big Bear, come here!"

As his name suggests, he was born like a blind bear, a tall and swarthy little brother, Da Xiong, who came to Zhang Chu's side when he heard the sound, and called in a low voice: "Master Chu." ”

"Ming'er, you go to find Yu Er and Li Gouzi, from our old brothers, pick seven more reliable brothers to form a guard, you are the captain of the guard, follow me every day!"

Zhang Chu pondered as he walked, and checked and filled in the gaps: "Send someone to the cattle and sheep market again, buy a larger carriage and come back, and the carriage will always have gauze, gold sore medicine, and iron shields to stop bleeding...... Anyway, as long as you think that we can use things when we are ambushed, we can prepare them. ”

A hall master-level figure, accompanied by a ten-person guard, is a bit exaggerated.

But as long as he can be kept thorough, no matter how exaggerated Zhang Chu is, he can do it.

He spared his life.

"Yes, Master Chu!"

Da Xiong received the order, retreated behind Zhang Chu, and continued to protect his back.

This person has a dull temperament, and he can't make a sound fart with three sticks, but he is loyal and honest, plus he is strong, and he is born to be a bodyguard.

Zhang Chu clasped his hands and continued to walk forward, and said without looking back: "After the guard is formed, you pay forty taels of money from the account at the entrance of the hall every month, you take five taels, and the other brothers, each of them takes three taels and five cents!"

"Xie Chuye brought it. ”

Zhang Chu: "I won't say polite words, we eat in one pot every day and sleep in one house, we are brothers and siblings." ”

"If there is really someone who is not afraid of death to attack me in the future, I, Zhang Chu, will definitely not leave you and run for my life, and please don't have any worries when the time comes. ”

"If you are injured, you have my doctor, you are disabled, you have me to raise, if you unfortunately die, your father and mother are my father, your baby is my baby, your brothers and sisters are my brothers and sisters, but if I have a dry mouthful, I will never let them drink it thin!"

The people around him are changing all the time.

The first to be close to him were Li Gouzi and Yu Er.

Later, the two of them were injured, and they were busy with business, and they couldn't follow him every day.

So Zhang Chu could only pick out a few younger brothers from his side at random when he went out.

Only now, it can be regarded as gradually fixed.

The big bear didn't say a word, and Luo Dashan, the little brother who walked in front to guide Zhang Chu, turned his head and said with a smile: "Okay, what are you talking about! Your person, who of us who are small, don't know? Please also believe us, if there is really something that is not afraid of death dares to do something to you, as long as the four of us brothers are not dead, we will never let people hurt a single hair of you!"

This guy is nicknamed Mule, and he is a master who can speak well, but he is very neat, and Zhang Chu has always used him as a herald.

"Yes, Master Chu, as long as there is one of our brothers alive, we will never let anyone rush in front of you!"

"Yes, whoever dares to do something to you, I will kill his whole family!"

The four of you are loyal to me in every word.

They all understand!

To make a close body for Chu Ye, this is a shortcut to the big guy!

Didn't you see that the two most popular bigwigs in the hall now, Yu Er and Li Gouzi, both climbed up from Chu Ye's close seat?

As for the danger?

Gangs, there is no tomorrow today, why is it not dangerous?

Zhang Chu smiled and said, "If I can't even trust you, who else can I trust?"

......

The red lantern outside Zhang's house has not been removed.

The warm candlelight came far away in the night.

Zhang Chu saw the old lady standing at the door from a distance, her rickety body looking extremely thin in the cold wind.

He couldn't help but speed up his pace and trotted over, "Mother, it's snowing, don't you have a good rest in the house, what are you doing here!"

Zhang smiled and patted the fine snowflakes on his shoulder, and said, "This house is too big, my mother stays in the house alone and her heart is empty, so I want to come out to greet you." ”

Zhang Chu frowned, and his heart was negligent.

There are more than ten rooms in a large mansion with two entrances and two exits, and anyone who stays in this house alone will feel deserted.

"Then Ming'er, let those children also move over to accompany you, anyway, there are many empty houses, and you can live there!"

Zhang nodded with a smile: "That's a good idea...... But which kids come here and won't disturb you, will they?"

Zhang Chu: "It's okay, anyway, I'm at the entrance of the hall during the day...... By the way, I asked the dog and his brothers to come over to practice martial arts during the day, our big yard is empty and wasteful!"

He also suddenly realized that his home had to be guarded as well.

At night, he and the close guards are at home, and he is not afraid of anything, but during the day, his wife and a group of half-grown children are at home, and if there are really unscrupulous people to touch them, wouldn't it be a pot?

What he said, Zhang rarely refused, "Okay, you look at the arrangement!"

There was a brazier in the house, and the whole room was warm, and as soon as people entered the house, they immediately felt comfortable.

Zhang beckoned Da Xiong, and they sat down in the hall with Zhang Chu, and went into the kitchen by themselves and came out with four dishes and one soup.

Shredded potatoes.

Chinese cabbage.

Braised pork head.

Chicken.

Radish pork rib soup.

Plus a dustpan of steamed buns.

It's steaming, oily, and makes you whet your appetite at first sight.

Zhang's life is frugal, an old clothes, sewn and mended for several years and are reluctant to throw away, but when he treats Zhang Chu, he is afraid that he will not be able to eat enough and not warm up, and everything good will be close to him.

Zhang Chu held chopsticks in one hand and steamed buns in the other, looking at the old lady busy, thinking that it was time to find a few people at home.

"Big Bear, I want to add a few people to the family, do you know where to find them?"

Big Bear gnawed on a piece of ribs in his mouth, and said without thinking: "There is a human market over there in Nancheng. ”

"Human City?"

Zhang Chu took a bite of the steamed bun, frowned and said, "Is there still a selling?"

"Master Chu, not a human trafficker. ”

The mule took over and said, "There are many poor people who can't survive, selling their sons and daughters and selling themselves there, and I remember that the half-grown girl seems to be only five or six taels of silver a piece!

"Five or six taels of silver alone?"

Zhang Chu was taken aback, "So cheap?"

"There are cheaper ones!"

The mule fished the food into his mouth and said over and over again: "Those old immortals who can't pick up their shoulders and can't lift their hands can sell themselves for dozens of dollars as long as they are willing to give them a bite to eat!"

Zhang Chu exclaimed twice.

He had always thought that these poor ghosts in Wutong were the poorest poor people in AllHeaven.

Unexpectedly, there are poor ghosts who are so poor that they can sell themselves for dozens of dollars.

It's been a long time!

"Nacheng, big bear, you hurry up and get the guards done tomorrow, and let's go over and have a look the day after tomorrow." ”

"Okay, Master Chu. ”
