Chapter 77: The Soldier Dies, for His Confidant
I'll talk about that later.
Besides, what if you can learn this skill yourself? Wouldn't that even be a hidden danger in the future?
Zhao Guo'er thought about it in her heart and asked Lei Jing directly, "Look, can you teach me this skill?" If you can, if you teach me that you don't count the money you owe, I can give you another five thousand taels. No, I'll give you another 10,000 taels, enough silver for you to live comfortably for the next few years?"
"I don't want money."
Why didn't she treat herself like this? If you don't want to see yourself, why should you help yourself?
Only then did he let go of his stable heart, and Lei Jing only felt that a thick resentment was surging up, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable. The words were also uncontrollable, and rushed out with a thick resentment.
Zhao Guoer: "......"
This must be because he offered too little and annoyed this ancestor? So how much should she make so that she doesn't continue to anger him?
Just when Zhao Guo'er was uncertain, she suddenly heard Lei Jing speak.
"I, I don't mind signing the deed of sale."
"What?"
Zhao Guo'er thought that something was wrong with her ears, so she was surprised and asked in a lost voice, "What did you say?"
"I said, I can also sign the deed of sale."
The words have been spoken, and repeating it again is not so difficult for Lei Jing.
Seeing this, he even showed a hint of a smile on his face very quickly, and naturally said it again.
"You?"
If you dare to sign the deed of sale, I won't dare to accept it.
Isn't it good for this man to take the money and leave?
Zhao Guo'er had a bitter face, she didn't understand Lei Jing's brain circuit, and asked her doubts: "Why? Isn't it good for you to take your money and live freely and unfettered? If you sign the deed of sale, you will have no freedom, and even your children and grandchildren will be slaves of the adult family in the future. Aren't you afraid that your children and grandchildren will hate you when they know about it?"
"I am not married, and I will not have children or grandchildren. Naturally, no one will hate me."
When Lei Jing said this, he felt that his heart was slightly shaken, and it seemed that he no longer had the firmness when he had this thought.
He frowned slightly, a little puzzled by his own slight wavering.
But soon he got rid of the little strangeness in his heart, in order to win Zhao Guo'er's trust and make her believe that his idea of wanting to sell himself to her was for a reason, and it was also a reasonable explanation: "I know, the owner, you are kind. But you must be worried about letting me teach you.
But this skill is not so easy to learn. There are many ways in it, and it's not that I don't want to teach them. It's that you can't learn at all in three or five years.
I continued to study one after another, and it took me four years to become a teacher. According to the words of the master who taught me, I still have to have some wisdom roots in this. If not, it is seven or eight years of study, and ten years is not uncommon.
You have saved my life for me, and for my mother. Over the years, there have been changes in my family, and I have seen the warmth and coldness of the world, and I know how difficult it is to meet a kind-hearted person like you."
Saying that, he sighed, and Lei Jing continued to pretend to be pitiful and said, "Maybe there is no such shop after this village. I don't want to miss it. After all, being able to talk to a good master is far more reliable than holding tens of thousands of taels of silver yourself, but not having enough ability to protect yourself, and you can't tell when you will be snatched away by people's eyes." ….
"I see."
Zhao Guoer thought about Lei Jing's words carefully, and found that what he said really made some sense.
In her previous life in the capital, she had heard of a wealthy family with tens of thousands of properties, and she would rather take her family property to join the powerful as slaves?
"Master, my skills are actually a bit chicken. If you are free, then at most it is to help people dig and dig cellars where vegetables and rice are stored. That doesn't take much to dig up on their own."
Seeing that Zhao Guo'er seemed to believe what she said, Lei Jing immediately beat the snake and changed her name on the stick, and said while the iron was hot: "And the people who want to dig secret rooms and tunnels won't, and no
Dare to hire outsiders to dig. Even if you hire someone from outside, you will try to dispose of them afterwards, so as not to leak your secrets."
"So you want to sign the deed of sale, and you're afraid that when I learn your skills, I'll do it to you?"
Zhao Guo'er suddenly realized and laughed: "Don't worry, I'm not so ruthless. If you still don't feel at ease, then we don't need to sign a deed of sale. How about a long-term contract? If you want to stay, you can stay for the rest of your life. If you don't want to stay one day, if you want to tell you, tell me, and if you don't want to tell, you can leave quietly. I'll give you the 10,000 taels of silver first, so that you can settle your mother."
So there are no worries, there is no need to leave his "mother" as a hostage, Lei Jing should be relieved, right?
Zhao Guo'er came up with this for herself, and secretly praised the treatment that only Lei Jing could enjoy.
Lei Jing: "......" finally met a really pure and good master, why is it so difficult for him to sell his body?
"Then I'll just say yes."
Lei Jing didn't speak, Zhao Guo'er was speechless as if he was moved, and immediately arranged with a smile: "When you arrive at the Zhuangzi in Xiushui Village, you can settle your mother first with the silver." Then he helped me dig a few secret rooms and tunnels in the Zhuangzi. Well, you've got to get the traps set up. When the digging is done, my house in Tianjia Village should also be built. There will be a time when you are busy."
「…… You, aren't you afraid that my mother and I will run away with your money?"
The mood was extremely complicated, and Lei Jing was silent for a while before he asked with a smile.
"Will you run?" Zhao Guoer asked rhetorically.
Lei Jing: "...... Of course not."
"That's the end of it."
Zhao Guo'er didn't take Lei Jing's answer for a long time seriously, and smiled with extra confidence: "I can look at people, so I don't believe that I can look away."
He laughed twice, and she continued with some nonchalant, "Even if you run, it doesn't necessarily mean that you really want to run. There must be something unspeakable, or something unavoidable."
Isn't it just a matter of 10,000 taels of silver? If Lei Jing really ran away. At most, it's a pity that there is one less hired person around me who is good at digging holes. Where do you dare to really blame him? Aren't you afraid that he will be stingy, and in the future, when he remembers that he has had such a black history, he is afraid that he will be publicized, and he will turn around and kill her?
Therefore, if he ran away, even if he didn't have to run away, she would have to be.
Where could Lei Jing guess Zhao Guoer's true thoughts at this time, he was really moved. Feel like you've been blinded by something?
He wiped his eyes, only to find that his face was wet, and he didn't know when he was already in tears.
"Master, in the future, I, Lei Jing, will definitely not do anything unfavorable to you, if you violate this oath, you will thunder."
In the past, when I was studying, I read that the ancient scholars died as confidants.
At that time, Lei Jing still scoffed at it, but now he really experienced the feeling of being truly touched and trusted.
At this moment, Lei Jing felt that he would do it for the rest of his life, no matter what Zhao Guoer asked him to do. Even if she asked herself to jump off the cliff, she would probably be able to jump without hesitation.
