Chapter 36: Hometown
With a wave of his hand, a bag of gold coins appeared in his hand and stuffed it directly to Randy.
"I'll give you the money in advance, I'll leave in five days, if you have something, I can wait for you for a few more days."
This employer is so easy to talk to, Randy is deeply puzzled, "Big brother, you are so rich, buy a few more storage space, and still need to hire bodyguards to transport goods?" ”
The bald man sighed, patted his belt, and showed the bracelet, jade pendant, and ring, "I have brought everything I can, it's not enough, it's far away."
We are not short of money, and there is still a lot of demand for goods in the Central Plains, but the distance is too far. It took ten years to come out to purchase such a thing, and those hateful elders were picking and choosing one by one, and they wanted everything, what could I do?
No matter how good my kung fu is, can one person take care of so many goods? Don't worry, if there is really a master robbery, I will deal with it myself. You can help me take care of the goods, and deal with the minions.
By the way, my name is Long Wu, and we will meet at this gate in five days. ”
"That fifth big brother dragon, we're going to Qiuzi to do something......"
"It's okay, it won't take much of a detour. When I came, I went to Tingzhou, where the battle was very hot, so we turned to Qiuci in Gaochang, just in time to avoid the large-scale decisive battle in northern Xinjiang. ”
Long Wu happily paid the deposit and turned away, he still had a lot of goods to purchase nearby. Employers don't have to worry about Randy absconding with the deposit, this is guaranteed by the Mercenary Association.
The clerk looked at Randy like he was looking at a dead man. Long Wu has been wandering around here for two days, and no one has been willing to accept his commission, and today he finally ran into a fool. You can afford to raise a tiger, do you really have to die so much to make money?
Randy walked out of the Mercenary Guild humming a ditty. For him, the Western Regions is going anyway, earning two hundred gold coins along the way, and when he meets a master, there is a strong dragon five in front of him, and there is a caravan to sit on, Meidi is very.
The newly registered adventure team spent fifty gold coins, and in the blink of an eye, one hundred gold coins arrived, and the money in their hands exceeded three hundred gold coins, which is a huge amount of money that can buy one hundred and fifty acres of paddy fields.
He led Sanmao to visit the weapons and equipment store, and bought him an ordinary leather armor with ten gold coins, a hand crossbow with hardware coins, and a dagger with three gold coins. As a scout and mechanic, he basically doesn't need to be desperate in front, and this equipment is basically enough.
This commission can earn two hundred gold coins, of which at least twenty will be returned to three cents, and it is enough to advance it here from Randy.
At Henry's strong suggestion, Sanmao bought a new set of clothes from the inside out, spending only two gold coins.
Ordinary clothes are much cheaper than combat supplies, but people are different all of a sudden, and although this young man is not tall and has a little big head, he is still quite energetic.
Walking on the streets of Tanzhou, Henry sighed with emotion, "It's very prosperous and tidy here, if the Houxia is like this, how can it be bullied by the feudal state?" ”
Randy knew about this, "When Governor Yu was a political envoy, he followed Governor Chen Baozhen to support the reform of the law, implement the new policy, ban smoking halls, open up people's wisdom, and develop industry and commerce."
Therefore, our Shonan is one of the best places for the post-summer atmosphere, and there will definitely be many outstanding people. You see, that island is called Orange Island, and I used to go up with my friends a lot, and they were all very good people. ”
Henry didn't look at any islands on the river, "Wow, the Hunan girls are very beautiful." ”
Looking back at the Qinglou where many beauties beckoned on the street, "Tanzhou is really a good place!" ”
Henry looked at the beauty and was reluctant, and saw Randy go straight forward, so he hurriedly followed.
When he arrived in Tanzhou, Randy became quite familiar with it, and after turning around, he found a place where he could rent horses.
Henry's posture on horseback was very elegant, Randy had trained in the academy, only Sanmao had never ridden a horse, and he would fall backwards as soon as the horse swooped out. But he was agile and quickly flipped back, as if he were performing acrobatics.
Randy's hometown of Shilanchong is a hundred miles away from Tanzhou, and in the past, he used to come to Tanzhou City by taking a carriage into the city, and he set off before dawn. Now riding a horse, the three of them are all kung fu, and there is no luggage, there is no problem with the speed of the scout, and they can get home in half a day.
After riding twenty miles, Sanmao began to complain, "Wow, my ass is about to turn into four petals." ”
"Don't sit on the horse's back, but put your feet between the horse's belly......"
Henry patiently teaches Sanmao to ride a horse, but Randy's heart has already flown to his hometown.
…………
Shi Lan Chong, the old home of Randy's family.
Randy's father was also strong back then, and he was able to go up the mountain to fight monsters to support the family. In addition, the family had fifty acres of paddy fields at that time, and Randy's family background when he was a child was still in the middle and upper ranks of the village.
Therefore, Randy's ancestral house is still very well repaired, with two acres of land in front of the house and behind the house, which looks like a well-off home.
At this time, a guest came to Randy's house, and it was Li Erjin, Randy's playmate when he was a child.
Erjin is about the same age as Randy and tall. But fair-skinned, chubby, with a belly at a young age, apparently living conditions are very good.
The Li family is the only outsider in Shi Lanchong, who moved from the distant coast of the East China Sea a few years ago when there was a war with the Japanese invaders.
At the beginning, this outsider was ostracized by the two surnames Shilan. However, the Li family was rich and could be a man, so they quickly integrated into the local area.
The Li family did not buy land in the village, but went out to do business, and soon made a fortune, buying a large number of real estate in the nearby county town of Xiangnan, and had the reputation of "Li Bancheng".
The head of the Li family has moved to the city, but he left his only son Erjin in the old house to study with Xu Fuzi in the village.
Xu Fuzi is also an outsider, but his family is not here, and he was invited to teach by the village collective.
Who knows that Erjin doesn't like to read, and ponders the craftsmanship of craftsmen all day long, after Randy went to Jianqiu, he was finally called to the county seat by his family, and today he made a special trip to visit Randy's house.
"Auntie, these twenty silver coins are the pocket money I saved, you must accept them."
"How can I ask for your money? Hurry up and get it back. ”
"Randy is not at home, Auntie, the situation in your family is so difficult, Shi Yong and I are Randy's best friends, who can help you if we don't help? Just wait for Randy to come back. ”
"Well, then I'll take it. In the past few days, Lan Batian has always come to collect debts, and I really can't hold it anymore, so I will take your children's money with a thick old face. When Randy makes money, he will definitely pay you back. ”
"What does I have to do with Randy, you can use this money with confidence, if it's not enough, I'll ask my parents for it." Auntie, you are busy first, I'll go to Lan Zuo to chat. ”
Lan Mu looked at the tall back of Erjin, "Randy has made two good friends, thanks to the two of them taking care of him, Randy, he should be back soon, right?" ”
Lan Zuo is already fourteen years old, thin and weak, squatting in the yard, concentrating, and he didn't pay attention to the two catties.
Erjin leaned over and took a look, Lan Zuo was holding a book in his hand, which was the "formation foundation" he had sent, and there were two piles of stones on the ground.
"Lan Zuo, I don't understand this thing, you still have to go to a professional academy to learn it in the future."
Lan Zuo didn't say anything, seeing that Erjin was coming, he didn't get up, "Brother Erjin, look, the book says that the Five Elements Array can break the sword formation of the Japanese Kou, but I don't think it is applicable now."
Now that the soldiers are using muskets and weapons, it should be better if one person is added to form two three-talent formations for a short assault. ”
Erjin shook his head, "How do I understand this?" When Randy comes back and works as an errand boy, and you have money, you don't have to be a long-term worker, you should finish the private school first, what's the use of studying this? ”
"I just love it. And since I got sick two years ago, I can't get off the ground to work as a long time, I'm a wreck, and I don't have anything else to do......"
"Bang bang bang!"
Someone smashed the door of the Lan family's compound.
"Open the door, you old and poor ghost, you have been owed money for two years, it should have been repaid a long time ago, now we are here to collect the house, let's get ready to move!"
