Chapter 137: The Girl Who Knows Grace and Wants to Repay
"Do you remember that little girl you rescued on the street that day? We didn't see her for a long time...... Today she came with her military father, waiting on the first floor! β
Xiao Gui's expression was a little surprised! Don't talk about him, Zhou Daoan himself was a little surprised - almost 1 month has passed since that incident, and in the first few days, he himself was a little worried about the beautiful mixed-race girl in his heart, not to mention that he had any extraneous thoughts, but there was also an expectation of some beautiful encounters.
However, it backfired, the girl never appeared again after that incident, Zhou Daoan and Xiao Gui both suspected that the military household Huang Tianyang took a lot of money, perhaps worried about the Xia family's subsequent retaliation, so he simply moved away from Yuzhang County, and over time, this idea was faded.
Unexpectedly, after a long time, the other party actually came to the door. What's going on this time? - Zhou Daoan's first reaction was that the other party came to the door when he had something.
"Wow, what little girl? What am I missing? Tell me about it! Zhou Daoqi was on the side, and his eyes immediately widened when he heard this.
"Young Master Qi, you know thisβit's the time when Qingming and Tie Niu paid to redeem themselves......" Xiao Gui hurriedly said the matter.
"So what are you waiting for? Go and see, I want to see what kind of beautiful little girl she is, who has lost the fourth child and pulled out a knife to help! After hearing this, Zhou Daoqi immediately stepped away and did not wait for Zhou Daoan to greet him. The last time I heard Qingming say it briefly, Zhou Daoqi didn't take it to heart. Now, he is very "concerned" about things related to Zhou Daoan, and he immediately couldn't hold back when he heard it.
The group walked out of Zhou Daoan's room and came to the side hall, while Xiao Gui ran back quickly and went to the first floor to pick up Huang Li'er's father and daughter - according to the rules, Huang Li'er's father and daughter are not qualified to go up to the top floor of the Hui building, and Zhou Daoan should not go downstairs to meet them.
After waiting a while, the girl and her father arrived. I saw that the girl's appearance had not changed, and her demeanor was still shy. However, the military man Huang Tianyang is much more energetic than the last time he saw it, although he was wearing old clothes, he was very clean, standing in front of Zhou Daoan, even if he lowered his head, he could see that he was tall and tall, and he had a bit of a soldier's temperament!
Zhou Daoqi on the side only glanced at Huang Li'er, and his face showed a look of disappointment. However, because he is on the side, the front position is Zhou Daoan, and the father and daughter of Huang Lier are restrained, so he will not pay attention to Zhou Daoqi's face.
Huang Tianyang spoke first, and the father and daughter saluted Zhou Daoan respectfully, and then mentioned the old matter again and thanked him. The politeness didn't last long, and Huang Tianyang, a military household, had no words, so he had to get down to business.
I saw him take out a coarse cloth package, untie the tie, and present it to Zhou Daoan.
Zhou Daoan completely opened the package with some confusion, revealing the things inside - I saw that there were more than a dozen gadgets inside, with strange shapes, but the most conspicuous thing was something like the sea clan relics that Huang Tianyang "sold" to Zhou Daoan last time. Under the identification of the ark, Zhou Daoan knew that this was called a mutated earth dragon tooth.
This thing can be used to upgrade R-class items, and the market estimate given by the system at that time was 850 points of hard work! That's a lot of money!
Zhou Dao'an suddenly had little stars in his eyes - fortunately, he would refresh himself with a "Pure Heart" buff from time to time, and the negative impact of the bloodline of the Lord of Greed had been suppressed a lot, otherwise...... Now he might just grab these things in his hands......
"Uncle Huang...... What are you? Secretly swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Zhou Daoan asked.
"Back to Young Master Zhou's words, the last time you spent a lot of money to buy the villain's thing, although you don't care, but the villain knows that that thing is actually not worth that much money - the villain later asked a few of his old buddies, and many of them sold the things they had harvested on the battlefield, and the price they got was only tens or hundreds...... The villain knew that Young Master Zhou had spent too much money. β
"Originally, Young Master Zhou relieved the villain, so this money shouldn't be asked for you...... But the villain didn't have much knowledge at the time, so he was cheeky and took it, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became......"
Although Huang Tianyang definitely didn't drink alcohol today, over the years, his nervous reaction was somewhat destroyed by alcohol, so he was a little nagging when he was talking now. After repeating his uneasiness, he returned to the topic.
"The villain saw that Young Master Zhou was interested in those sea devils' things, so he paid attention. That money, the villain used part of it to pay off the debt, part of it to my dead Hun family to repair the grave, and the remaining half of it, if it was returned to the young master, the villain was also ashamed, but just took it, and his heart was very uneasy......"
So, the villain thought, since Young Master Zhou is interested in these things, those old fellows of mine still have some stock in their hands...... During this time, Li'er and I went to several places, and bought all the things that could be collected and left behind by sea devils, and I came today to dedicate them to Young Master Zhou......"
I see!
Zhou Daoan was a little ashamed in his heart - he thought that the father and daughter had come to the door and asked him for help, but they were grateful to repay him. In the past 1 month, they may have run to several other counties! In this way, the livelihood is actually delayed...... Eh, why do I always unconsciously calculate the income problem in the first place?
Zhou Daoan shook his head slightly, drove away the distracting thoughts, and his eyes left the pile of "trophies" of the military households, and looked at Huang Li'er's father and daughter. That Huang Tianyang's expression was nothing, but although Huang Li'er lowered her head, she also aimed her eyes at Zhou Daoan at this moment, obviously wanting to get affirmation from Zhou Daoan's eyes. Otherwise, they would have used the wrong force for all their hard work.
As soon as the two looked at each other, Huang Li'er immediately retracted and lowered her head.
"Uncle Huang, Miss Li'er, you have a heart! I really didn't expect you to take this matter so seriously...... These things are exactly what I need, thank you so much! I'm not polite to you, I want things, but I don't know how much money is missing? I'll let the bookkeeper make up the ...... for you."
Zhou Daoan said this sincerely! In his opinion, this burden is worth the hard work! Even if the thing inside wasn't as valuable as the mutated Earth Dragon tooth from before, it would still be worth a small penny. In order to prevent ferrymen from using their real-world goods to change currency, the Ark introduced a series of harsh rules, and it was difficult to obtain the value of hard work. Even if these things are only worth one or two hundred hard work, they are far more than the original value of five thousand dollars!
"No, no, no, where can I let Young Master Zhou take the money again! These things aren't worth that...... The money given by Young Master Zhou last time was enough! No, it's too much...... Oh, young master, don't mention it again, otherwise the villain will be even more ashamed...... Young Master Zhou's kindness and other villains can't repay it, so we can only do something like this. Huang Tianyang hurriedly excused himself, and in his eagerness, he couldn't speak even more.
Zhou Daoan was polite, his eyes kept looking at Huang Li'er and Huang Tianyang, and he knew very well in his heart - with Huang Tianyang's crude character, in the past, even if he was grateful to himself, he would not think of doing these things to compensate. If you want to say that you have a heart, it can only be a pineapple. The girl saw that she really wanted the tooth of the earth dragon - and it was only the tooth of the earth dragon, not the attached bounty - which was very discerning. After that, she must have urged Huang Tianyang to collect similar things and try to return as much as possible.
This girl is really grateful.
Zhou Daoan suddenly felt that his standing up at that time was not in vain, and he was very happy. In fact, everyone thinks that they don't want to repay kindness, but if the recipient has the intention of repaying it, who will not be happy? That joy will be greater than what you have paid at the beginning!
"I said fourth, don't be polite! Your kindness to them is not just about money! Seeing that the two sides were polite to each other, Zhou Daoqi couldn't help but speak, "You stand up for them, but it is the Xia family who offends." In 10 days, we will have to go to public school. Hey, the Xia kid is also coming!
"I've seen that kid, the entire first and second ancestors, he doesn't have much ability, and he is a good hand at causing trouble. The heart and eyes are also very small...... I think that although the Xia family is admitting cowardice on their faces, they will definitely not let it go so easily, and they will find some places to come back no matter what......"
Zhou Daoqi said, his eyes glanced over, and he saw that Zhou Daoan's face had not changed, but the faces of Huang Tian's adoptive father and daughter were suddenly not good-looking, obviously, they were more afraid of the Xia family.
"Fourth, you don't have to be afraid, your ability to clean up that kid is more than enough, I'm afraid of beating the small one and the old one. Moreover, if they play yin, bypass you and directly face this Huang ...... Uncle Huang is unfavorable, and it is also a trouble. At the very least, the government will not embarrass the Xia family for Uncle Huang......"
"Third brother means ......" Zhou Daoan frowned slightly. Why did Zhou Daoqi say this in front of the father and daughter? Isn't this scaring the other side? Could it be ......
"I mean...... Listening to what Uncle Huang himself said, he is a retired soldier, and his skills are all honed on the battlefield. And the fourth child, you are about to perform the crown ceremony (the coming-of-age ceremony of a seventeen-year-old man in the Han region of the world), as a child of a family, wearing a turban, you can recruit guards. Uncle Huang doesn't have any good work right now, right? I think you might as well accept Uncle Huang as a guard, first, you have to study and travel in the future, with a serious guard, and secondly, Uncle Huang is even under the protection of our Zhou family, and the Xia family is helpless. β
Hey, listening to Zhou Daoqi say this, Zhou Daoan knew that although his cousin acted unreliable and absurd, he was by no means a stupid person. After observing the words and expressions on the side for so long, he must think that it is the beauty of this little girl that he covets to be so good to them.
Although it is said that Huang Tianyang is to be a guard, it is actually the drunkard's intention not to drink!
