Chapter 19: Hope

Gu Bei took the middle-aged martial artist into the lobby of the inn, and the diners inside all looked at the middle-aged martial artist, everyone noticed what happened just now.

The middle-aged warrior felt that everyone's gaze was like thousands of needles, which made him very uncomfortable, he lowered his head, and his chin was almost close to his chest.

Gu Bei noticed the situation of the middle-aged martial artist, and he directly took the middle-aged martial artist to the single room on the second floor, so that he could avoid everyone.

Sure enough, after entering the private room, the middle-aged martial artist's face was much more relaxed, at least not as uncomfortable as in the lobby just now.

Gu Bei casually ordered a few dishes, a jar of wine, and then chatted with the middle-aged martial artist while drinking and eating vegetables.

"What do you call it?"

"Yang Shifu."

"Where is my hometown......?"

Gu Bei learned the basic information of this middle-aged martial artist in small talk.

This is a down-and-out martial artist, his talent is not high, he used to be a disciple of a small mountain gate three hundred miles east of Thorn City, but later that small mountain gate was not well managed and went out of business.

Yang Shifu has also become a wandering warrior with no sect and no sect.

Today, those young warriors deliberately bumped into him, and then bit back, in fact, they wanted dozens of taels of silver in his cloth bag, and the most important thing was one of the lower grade spirit stones.

Spirit stones, for Eastern cultivators, are very important, just like the value of gold to ordinary people is the same.

This lower grade spirit stone was obtained by him by accident, and he has always treasured it, and when he took the silver today, he accidentally exposed it, and then he was targeted.

If it weren't for Gu Bei, I'm afraid that his spirit stone, including all the silver on his body, would have been snatched away by those young martial artists.

Yang Shifu took out the lower grade spirit stone, which looked like a pale green crystal, which was not very transparent.

He put this low-grade spirit stone in front of Gu Bei with both hands, and said seriously: "Your Royal Highness, thanks to helping me today, this low-grade spirit stone is given to you, I hope Your Highness will not dislike it." ”

Gu Bei shook his head and said, "It's just a matter of raising your hands, this spirit stone is very important to you, you can keep it for yourself." ”

"If you really want to thank me, you can do it another way."

"In what way?" Yang Shifu looked at Gu Bei in a daze.

"Since you don't have a place to go, why don't you become my bodyguard, eat and shelter, and give you a hundred taels of silver every year, how about it?"

Gu Bei looked at Yang Shifu, he was very short of people now, and a wandering martial artist like Yang Shifu who had no door or sect was very suitable.

Although his strength is only second-order, and he is older, Gu Bei believes that he sees people, as long as Yang Shifu becomes his guard, it will definitely help him!

"How? Think about it, being my bodyguard is my person, and no one will dare to bully you casually. ”

Yang Shifu thought seriously for a long time, and finally nodded heavily.

"Hahaha, this prince knows that you will agree, come, drink and drink!"

Gu Bei was very happy, with Yang Shifu, the power of the City Lord's Mansion had grown a little more.

……

In the autumn of the 2531st year of the Eastern calendar, in August, the Bailu solar term.

The autumn breeze is picking up, and although it is hot at noon, it is cool in the morning and evening, and the scorching summer has passed.

The grain crops near Thorn City are also basically ripe.

In the grange of the City Lord's Mansion, 10,000 acres of all kinds of grain basically turned into a golden yellow.

Gu Bei took Ye Wei, Yang Shifu, and the housekeeper to inspect the grange.

"This year's wheat is growing well, and it's a good harvest."

Gu Bei picked up an ear of wheat and started with a heavy, full grain, he found that the grain yield in this world was not low, and it was comparable to the hybrids in the previous life.

Perhaps, it is because this world has sufficient aura, whether it is people, animals, or even these plants, they are all very powerful.

The housekeeper Lao Lu said with a smile: "Yes, with this food, our City Lord's Mansion can recruit some more people." ”

The City Lord's Mansion used to be too poor, and there was a Six Princes who spent all day and wine, and most of the grain was sold for money, and all aspects were saved.

Now it's different, the six princes no longer spend all their time drinking, and even created several ways to make money, and the treasury of the city lord's mansion gradually has a little savings, and the grain is also harvested, and it can be supported by recruiting more people.

The days are getting better and better, as a housekeeper, Lao Lu is very happy, he finally doesn't have to be busy all day like before.

Gu Bei walked to the fields rented by those craftsmen, and their grain grew very well, but because the planting was a little late, the harvesting time was also about half a month late.

The mason, his wife, and his son were harvesting vegetables in the field.

Some vegetables have a relatively short growth cycle and are ready to be harvested.

"Old horse, the harvest is good."

The old horse raised his head and smiled honestly: "Thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince, with these grains and vegetables, this year's winter is better." ”

Lao Ma's wife also looked at Gu Bei gratefully, if Gu Bei hadn't let them live in the grange of the City Lord's Mansion, and gave them a house and grain and vegetable seeds, how could they live a good life now.

"Work hard, I see that your son has also grown to an age, save more money, and then send him to a private school to study, it is not easy to be fooled if he is educated."

"Going to private school?"

Lao Ma was stunned for a moment, their family was too poor before, and it was not enough to work to earn a little money, and it was not enough to pay taxes, so he never dared to let his son go to a private school.

As long as his son can grow up healthy and healthy, learn some mason skills from him, and marry a daughter-in-law in the future, he will be very satisfied.

However, after living in the grange of the city lord's mansion, they not only had food, but also made a lot of money by building the Shenlong Ruins Scenic Area some time ago.

Lao Ma suddenly found that as long as he gritted his teeth, he could afford to send his son to private school.

Lao Ma's seven or eight-year-old son ripped his mother's clothes, and his eyes were full of longing.

Lao Ma's wife looked at Lao Ma, and said without words: "The ...... of the house"

The old horse gritted his teeth and said, "Send it, save some money, and send it next year!" ”

"Great! Oh oh, I'm going to private school! ”

Lao Ma's son jumped up happily, the field was full of his laughter, Lao Ma's wife secretly wiped a handful of tears, and looked at Gu Bei's eyes with even more gratitude.

Once, Lao Ma's son also made trouble to go to a private school, but at that time, Lao Ma had no money, and even the family often did not have enough to eat.

Lao Ma beat his son ruthlessly to stop making trouble, and then hid in the house to wipe his tears, hating his incompetence.

Now, he suddenly found that his son really had a chance to go to private school.

Lao Ma secretly swore that he must work hard for His Royal Highness the Prince in the future, because His Royal Highness the Prince changed the fate of his whole family.

This kindness is greater than the sky.

When Gu Bei was talking to Lao Ma's family, Yang Shifu was silently observing on the side.

He found that this sixth prince was completely different from other dignitaries and nobles, at least the dignitaries and nobles he had seen were all high-minded, and they would not talk to ordinary people like this at all.

Gu Bei's performance made Yang Shifu have a good impression of him, this prince seems to be kind-hearted, not those dignitaries who eat people and don't spit out bones.
