Chapter 33 Reemployment after being laid off

"It just so happens that we are also planning to change places, why don't we escort Miss Zhang back to the caravan, and by the way, we will also settle in the caravan tonight." Shao Xi decided.

Lao Wu nodded, indicating that he did not object.

Ding Yu'an is a little embarrassed at this time, he just went to rob the caravan with the horse bandits, and now he is the one who escorts Miss Zhang back to the caravan, how can he explain it then?

Shao Xi saw Ding Yu'an's concerns, turned to Zhang Wan and asked, "Miss Zhang, when the caravan was robbed just now, did this Brother Ding make a move?" ”

Zhang Wan looked at Ding Yu'an, shook her head and said, "I didn't see him make a move at that time, so he was scolded twice by that person." ”

After speaking, Zhang Wan glanced at Shi Jintang on the ground, and hurriedly raised her sleeves to block in front of her, not daring to look at it again.

Ding Yu'an also explained: "At that time, there were many caravan guards, and they did not grab any property, but when they were leaving, Shi Jintang found Miss Zhang and took her captive. For this reason, Shi Jintang complained about me all the way. ”

After hearing this, Shao Xi said to Zhang Wan: "Miss Zhang, if someone misunderstands when you arrive at the caravan camp in a while, please ask Miss Zhang to come forward to help explain." I wonder if Miss Zhang is willing? ”

Zhang Wan nodded and said, "If I go back in a while, if my father and they misunderstand Engong's friend, I will come forward to explain." ”

When Ding Yu'an heard this, he hurriedly bowed to Zhang Wan and said, "It was really not my intention to let Miss Zhang be frightened just now, but now Miss Zhang has thanked her regardless of her previous suspicions." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Wan hurriedly clenched her hands half-handedly, put her upper right and lower left in front of her abdomen, and bowed slightly to return the blessing.

Now that it has been discussed, Lao Wu helped Zhang Wan onto Shi Jintang's mount before, handed over the reins to Ding Yu'an, and the four of them slowly walked all the way in the direction of the caravan camp.

Soon after they left, wolves surrounded them. In just a moment, Shi Jintang's corpse was torn into pieces and eaten separately.

Just as a few people had walked in the direction of the caravan for a while, the sound of horses' hooves was heard from the front. Shao Xi turned his head to look at Lao Wu, Lao Wu waved his hand to wait and see, but Ding Yu'an on the side had a calm face, as if he knew who was coming.

When the horse team marched in front of several people, the leader of the black-faced man raised the big knife in his hand, pointed at Shao Xi and the others and shouted: "You thieves are really blind, you dare to rob the caravan of Taihe Trading House, and dare to kidnap my young lady." Now I will give you a chance to beg for mercy, and immediately release our young lady, kneel down and apologize and confess. Otherwise, don't say I'm not kind to you, just kill and bury it. ”

Shao Xi was happy when he heard it, was this guy also from a horse bandit before? How can it all be a routine? He probably didn't know that the last person who said this had already fed the wolf.

"Uncle Geng, you're finally here. Don't get these people wrong, if it weren't for these benefactors, I might have suffered an accident, and they saved me. Zhang Wan hurriedly explained.

When the big man surnamed Geng heard this, he hurriedly put away the knife, clasped his fists at Shao Xi and the others, and said, "It turned out to be the benefactor who saved my young lady, but I really misunderstood a few people just now." In Xia Genghu, he made amends to several heroes. ”

Shao Xi and the others also hurriedly clasped their fists and returned the salute, and Lao Wu told Geng Hu about what had just happened. As soon as Geng Hu heard that Ding Yu'an was also one of the previous gang of horse bandits, without saying a word, he pulled out a big knife and slashed it with a swing.

Ding Yu'an raised the spear in his hand and dissolved the knife with only a slight flick. said lightly, "You are not my opponent." But I can explain it. ”

Geng Hu was about to swing his knife and slash again, when Zhang Wan shouted on the side: "Uncle Geng, don't get me wrong, although he came with the horse bandits before, he didn't participate in robbing the caravan and kidnapping me, he is not a treacherous person." ”

From the move just now, Geng Hu already knew Ding Yu'an's strength. In addition, Zhang Wan said this, so she also got off the donkey and put away the knife, and took Shao Xi and the others towards the caravan's camp together.

The caravan of Taihe Trading House was very tense at this time, there were large and small fires burning around the camp, and the guards of the caravan were waiting on their horses with swords in hand. The most anxious thing to say is that Zhang Huanzhi, the big shopkeeper of Taihe Commercial Bank, is walking around constantly at this time, and from time to time he looks in the direction where Geng Hu went before. He is such a daughter, if he is brought out this time and something happens, he will really regret it for the rest of his life.

Suddenly, I heard someone in the guard shouting, "Uncle Geng, they are back, and it seems that they have also brought Miss back." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Huanzhi hurriedly took two steps forward, looked in the direction pointed by the guard, and indeed saw that the horse team that had gone out before was returning, and vaguely saw Zhang Wan on the horse. Zhang Huanzhi almost cried, and said in his mouth, "It's finally okay!" It's finally all right! Thank God! Thank God! ”

Shao Xi and his party approached the caravan camp, Geng Hu took the lead in jumping off his horse, ran to Zhang Huanzhi, and repeated what Lao Wu had told him before. After hearing this, Zhang Huanzhi hurriedly greeted Shao Xi and the others, tidied up his robes, and bowed deeply to several people.

"Little girl is lucky! Being able to be rescued by a few heroes is really a blessing from the previous life. In Xia Tai and Zhang Huanzhi, thank you to all the heroes here, please accept the next worship. As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed to Shao Xi and a few others.

Lao Wu's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly stepped forward to hold Zhang Huanzhi. smiled and said: "Big shopkeeper, what kind of person are you in Daliang City!" Little old man, where can I and this child stand your worship? Today's event is also what we happened to encounter when we passed by, and I really dare not be a hero! ”

Shao Xi secretly snickered, Lao Wu, this old guy heard the name of Liang Chengtai and the big shopkeeper of the commercial bank, and wanted to make friends with others! What an old fox.

After Zhang Huanzhi and Lao Wu exchanged a few polite words, they came to Shao Xi. He arched his hand and said: "This young man is dignified and talented. I just heard that you stabbed the leader of the horse bandits? Sure enough, he is a young hero, and the future is limitless! ”

Shao Xi muttered in his heart, "You guys are so beautiful, who knows what you have in your stomach?" There is no treacherous business in the world, no business is not treacherous, and people who do business are all interests in their eyes, how can there be affection at all? ”

I thought so in my heart, but I said, "Don't dare, don't dare, the reputation of the big shopkeeper is too much, and I'm just a fluke." ”

"The young man is too modest. Now that a few of us have arrived, let's rest together in our camp tonight! Although it is not as good as Taihe Trading House here, we still have to express our gratitude for today's events. So saying, he commanded them to fetch wine and meat.

Ding Yuan was more embarrassed at this time, although no one came to trouble him anymore, but no one seemed to pay attention to him, and it was estimated that he was still a horse bandit. It's just because of Shao Xi's face that he didn't say anything.

It was only at this time that Zhang Huanzhi cared about his daughter Zhang Wan. It can be seen that this person is very good at accidents, and he can distinguish the priorities of everything, and greet people with a smile at any time, and he is not rude. He is worthy of being a big shopkeeper.

"Wan'er, are you okay? Did it hurt anywhere? Those thieves didn't do anything to you, did they? I told you a long time ago not to come out with me, you kid just don't obey. You see, now that such a thing has happened, if something really happens to you, how can your father explain it to your deceased mother? ”

Zhang Wan is Zhang Huanzhi's only daughter, so Zhang Huanzhi has always loved her as a piece of flesh in his heart. Now that he sees that his daughter is fine, he finally has some peace of mind.

"Father, my daughter came out with you this time, only to know that it has been difficult for my father over the years, and my daughter will no longer mess around in the future, and she will definitely honor her father at home."

Zhang Wan is really as good as her name, she is indeed gentle and lovely.

At this time, Ding Yu'an walked up to Zhang Huanzhi, clasped his fists and arched his hand: "The junior Ding Yu'an came with those horse bandits before, but the junior is not a bandit, and he refuses to go along with him. It's just that Miss Zhang's abduction, although the younger generation did not participate, but they did not help at that time, it is indeed against the way of chivalry, and it is really ashamed. The younger generation is here to apologize to the chief shopkeeper and Miss Zhang. ”

Zhang Huanzhi looked at Ding Yu'an, but he was also a talent, and couldn't help but nodded. He asked, "You don't look like an evil person, but why are you with those bandits?" ”

Ding Yu'an looked embarrassed and replied: "Don't hide it from the big shopkeeper, my parents died when I was a child, and I learned martial arts from my teacher. It's just that not long ago, the master and his old man also passed away, and in addition to the martial arts of this body, he has no strengths, and he doesn't know how to make a living, so he went astray? ”

"I see. Since this is the case, I just heard Lao Geng say that your martial arts are good, so it is better for you to be a guard in my caravan, although the remuneration is not much, but there is always enough to eat. In the future, if you have a good place to go, you can leave at any time, and you don't need to be responsible for Taihe Commercial Bank. ”

Zhang Huanzhi is indeed very good at being a person. At this time, instead of offending Ding Yuan coldly, it is better to give him an errand and turn him into his own person. In the future, if he leaves, he will have nothing to lose, it is better than offending him and burying a thunder for himself.

"In this way, the younger generation will thank the big shopkeeper, and the younger generation will do their best to live up to the trust of the big shopkeeper." Ding Yuan bowed and thanked him.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Since you and Shaoxia have come all the way, I can naturally trust you. ”

Although this Ding Yuan is low-key and modest, he is indeed a smart person, and he has completed the layoff and reemployment in the original competing company in a few words, can you believe it?

As he spoke, the wine and meat were ready to stop. A group of people sat around the fire drinking and chatting, Zhang Huanzhi asked Shao Xi and Lao Wu, "I don't know where the two of you are going here?" ”

Lao Wu replied with a smile: "My young master and I went south to the Central Plains this time, and now we have decided to go to Daliang City for the time being. ”

When Zhang Huanzhi heard this, his face showed joy, and he said, "Oh? Isn't that just right? When I return to Daliang City after this trip, won't we be able to meet again? ”

"I'm not sure how long I can stay in Daliang City, so I really don't dare to make a promise." Old Wu arched his hand and said with a smile.

"It doesn't hurt." As he spoke, Zhang Huanzhi took out an object from his arms.

"...... this?"
