Chapter 17: Collect a bodyguard
Coming out of Xiaofu, Gao Buer was in a good mood, seeing that it was still early, he was not in a hurry to go back, and walked along the embankment, but there are still many refugees on the street, standing or lying on both sides of the road.
Gao Fuji has been thinking about taking advantage of this gap to find some people to cultivate, so as to deal with the turbulent period of the next two or three decades.
While thinking about it, I suddenly heard a drunken voice: "This son, please stayβ"
Gao Buer saw that under a big willow tree not far in front of him, there was a man with ragged clothes and messy hair and beard, he couldn't see his face clearly, and he shouldn't be very old when he heard the voice, Gao Buer walked up to him and said, "Your Excellency, is there something?" β
"After a few days of observation, I saw that the bones of the son were strange, it was a good material for martial arts, had you ever apprenticed?"
What do I do, isn't this the opening remark of the liar above, his lips tugged, and he joked, "What? Been following me for a few days? Do you want to take me as an apprentice? β
"That's exactly what I mean, but tracking is not my generation's doing, it's what you have seen from me." The man said righteously.
This is a teasing comparison, Gao Fuji deliberately teased him, and said, "I don't know what to say about this apprenticeship." β
"Oh, it's simple, just kowtow a few dozen taels of silver."
"You're using your buddy as a mallet." After saying that, he walked away.
"Wait." The man suddenly flashed in front of Gao Buer, holding a ruler-length sword horizontally in his left hand and said, "I don't know if Gongzi wants a weapon for self-defense, cheaper, this sword is sold to you." β
"You haven't woken up, can this girl be called a sword by about a foot, it's a dagger to death."
"Okay, you say yes, you can't buy it."
Gao Fuji touched his chin: "Show your hand, look at the sharpness-"
Saying that, he only felt a silver flower flickering in front of him, and when the surroundings quieted down, his clothes became holes, Gao Buer was furious, this Nima, although Lao Tzu's clothes are not worth a few dollars, but this is still on the street, if you shake your hands, brother, will you still have your life, quickly pull this clothes to see if there is a wood injured, and after confirming that it is safe, he yelled at the man: "Your sister, you are sick, Lao Tzu buys your NN legs." With that, he flicked his sleeves and left.
The man didn't say a word, swayed and followed him, Gao Buer turned around sharply: "What are you doing?" Don't force your buddy to be called J Cha. After that, continue to walk, the man continued to follow, Gao Buer suddenly felt a headache: "Hurry up, I am also a poor man, and I won't let you pay for my clothes, of course, you insist on using that dagger to compensate me." β
"Childe said with a smile, you are not poor, a few days ago I saw that Childe made a generous move to help many victims."
"Why, you want a meal ticket, right?"
The man didn't know what the dinner ticket meant, so he thought about it and said: "Born in troubled times, the son has compassion at a young age, and he is definitely a person with ambitions in his heart. β
This thing can also read minds, Gao Buer touched his chin, thought for a while and said: "Look at the mess you made a mess just now, your skills should not be bad, why don't you find a big force to take refuge, and then look at a rich family to rob the house, wouldn't it be better." β
It seems that Gao Buer said that he insulted him by robbing his house, and snorted: "The chivalrous people of my generation pay attention to a righteous word, and it is not the work of a husband to rob a house." β
Shouting, this Nima has learned from Yang Zhi, a good man in Liangshan, to sell daggers on the street, and he is still chivalrous and pedantic. However, Gao Buer didn't want to stimulate him anymore, if he gave himself a guy, he couldn't draw more, so he changed the topic and said: "Why don't you find a big force to take refuge?" What ambitions can I have as a doll? Do you believe it? β
"Faith! , and besides, I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. β
"If you want to follow me, why do you have to sign a deed of sale, are you still a chicken head and a phoenix tail?"
Seeing that the man seemed to be thinking, Gao Buer simply ignored him, and continued to walk along the lake embankment, looking at the lake painting boats and boats from afar, so it was not lively, many people on the road pointed at his strange clothes, Gao Buer didn't care, thinking about his own things.
Suddenly, the man seemed to have made up a lot of determination, and said solemnly: "I am willing to sign the deed of sale." β
Gao Buer glanced at him, obediently, it seems that life and death can be controlled by others after signing the deed of sale, even if he kills him for no reason, the government will not ask, and the future generations have encountered this kind of thing, Gao Buer felt a little uneasy in his heart: "Are you sure?" Do you know what it means to sign a deed of sale? β
"Your life is yours, and there is no difference between being a cow and a horse."
"It's good to know, what made you spend so much money? What are your qualifications? β
The man was silent, and Gao Buer was not in a hurry, just staring at him.
After a long time, the man said slowly: "I just want a full meal, and I still have a young son under my knees, but I ask my son to take me in." β
Hearing this, Gao Buer's heart was touched, and sure enough, his father's love is like a mountain. Gao Buer looked at the lake and meditated for a while, and said, "Where is your child?" Take me to see it. β
On the road, Gao Buer learned that this person's name is Zhang Zhongping, living in Jiangdu (Yangzhou in later generations), a martial arts family, but because of the distant relationship with the family, although he has learned a skill, but he will not make a living, and he can still support his family in the peaceful years to be a dart master or something, but in this troubled world, it has become difficult to make a living, Jiang was conquered by the Sui army and fell into Hangzhou with his son, and placed his young son, and he has not found a livelihood so far, it is really difficult to live.
Zhang Zhongping took Gao Fuji in the street and didn't know how many turns, only in a low rental house, saw a forty or fifty-year-old woman with a five or six-year-old well-behaved little girl, according to Zhang Zhongping, this woman used to be the child's wet nurse, and she couldn't bear to abandon each other in the troubled times. From this point of view, this person's character is okay.
The two stood in the courtyard and whispered: "In this way, I will hire you as a martial artist, responsible for protecting my safety, and give you three taels of silver every month." β
Zhang Zhongping did not agree, he had to sign a contract, otherwise, he would never accept alms. Gao Buer couldn't understand the temper of this ancient, so he agreed half-pushed. Because Gao Buer still stayed at Su Xiaoxiao's house, he couldn't take them with him, and the contract was signed, Gao Buer left him ten taels of silver, asked him to change places to settle the child, and would give him three taels of silver every month in the future, but Zhang Zhongping didn't refuse again. After a few more words, he took his leave.
