Chapter 139: Harvest
At this time, Zhang Xiaohu frowned, stared at Zhang Xiaohua, and asked: "Xiaohua, why don't you stay in Huanxi Villa, why did you run to this country town inexplicably? Did you come alone? Or did you come with someone else? Did you make a mistake in the villa and flee here without permission? If that's the case, Xiaohua, don't be afraid, talk to the second brother well, see what's going on, don't be afraid of anything, even if the sky falls, there is a tall man like the second brother, but you must tell me the truth. β
Zhang Xiaohua heard the second brother ask so many questions, and the more she talked, the more outrageous it became, she quickly waved her hand and said, "Farewell, second brother, even if the sky falls, there are still higher than you, you don't have to worry about me." You ask so much, how can I answer, you should pour me some water first, I am thirsty, and I will tell you more when I finish drinking the water. β
Zhang Xiaohu had no choice but to turn around and pour water for him first, and then asked again, "It's time to talk about it." β
In fact, Zhang Xiaohua was not reluctant to tell Zhang Xiaohu about Zhang Xiaohua and Ou Yan and others going south, but He Tianshu's instructions before going out, as well as the attack on a rainy night, Zhang Xiaohua hesitated, and didn't know if she should tell Zhang Xiaohu, not to mention, she was injured by a man in black and almost died, although it is okay now, but if you tell the second brother, it will definitely make him worry, how can this be good? Moreover, Mrs. Jingxuan didn't seem to want others to know her whereabouts, and she didn't even tell Zhang Xiaohua about her origin, of course Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but think about it.
But Zhang Xiaohua thought about it again, this Zhang Xiaohu is his second brother-in-law, if he can't believe it, who else in the world can trust? After thinking for a long time, Zhang Xiaohua spoke: "Second brother, there are some things I have to keep secret, so you must keep it a secret, what I told you today, you must not tell others, even if your Luo Da Dart asks about it, you can't say it." β
Zhang Xiaohu saw Zhang Xiaohua hesitating, thinking that he had done something bad, and when he said this, he couldn't help but look serious, nodded and replied: "Haode, Xiaohua, I promise you, I only know these words, and I will never tell anyone else." β
So, Zhang Xiaohua said that he followed the convoy of Huanxi Villa from Pingyang City until he was attacked on a rainy night, but he didn't say anything about fighting with the old man in black, but just said that he accidentally fell into the water while he escaped in the dark, and fished a wooden plank in the water, which floated all the way down the turbulent river.
Zhang Xiaohu and Zhang Xiaohua grew up together, and they know Zhang Xiaohua's water nature well, and it is okay to be a little frog in the small river in front of Guozhuang, but if they are loaches in this river, they are far behind, so there is still no doubt that Zhang Xiaohua can not get ashore in time in the turbulent river with a plank. However, when he heard that Zhang Xiaohua had been drifting for a long time, he was rescued in a slightly slower Gulf Stream, and his face turned pale with fright.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the second brother's frightened appearance, and was very puzzled, and said, "What's the matter, second brother, isn't this a good haode?
Zhang Xiaohu said with a stiff smile: "The ancients are good, but the ignorant are meaningless." Xiaohua, do you know, this is already very close to the sea, the river near the left is to converge to the Luojiang River, not far ahead, presumably the same is true of the river you drifted over, if you are not rescued at that time, you must soon drift into the Luojiang River, the river is wide, it is difficult to go ashore, and this is already the mouth of the Luojiang River, you can't dock before entering the Luojiang River, there is no chance, with the river into the sea, the sea is boundless, only with a plank, I am afraid that there is little vitality. You say, can you not make me afraid?"
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, a trace of cold sweat broke out on her spine, and she secretly thanked Xiaomeng for her fishing rod, if it weren't for this, I was afraid that she would have slept in the endless sea water by now!
Then, Zhang Xiaohua said that he had been drifting for a long time, and he fell ill when he got ashore, and it was not until yesterday that the person who rescued him took him out and put him in this strange town.
Zhang Xiaohu was already distressed when he heard that his brother was almost alive, where to distinguish his words, he only took Zhang Xiaohua's little hand and held it tightly, just wanting to replace the pain suffered by his poor brother some time ago on his own body.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua felt that her decision was correct, if Zhang Xiaohu knew that he was almost killed, wouldn't he immediately burst into tears?
After a while, Zhang Xiaohu spoke: "Since you drifted here by yourself, and the life and death of the owner of Ou Zhuang is unknown, then naturally you can't tell anyone about this matter, you just say that you were sent here by the steward of Huanxi Villa to do business." β
However, he then smiled and said, "It's also difficult to do, where did you send such a young child so far? Now that I happened to meet us, let's go back with the team of this dart game, everything will be known when we arrive in Pingyang City. β
Zhang Xiaohua blinked and said with a smile: "Then according to what the second brother said, fortunately, Brother Yuan brought me back yesterday, and when he saw that I was tired, he didn't ask me in detail, otherwise, I really don't know what to say." β
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaohu seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "I heard that someone was very majestic yesterday, killed all sides, and got a lot of loot." β
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, her face immediately turned red, and she muttered, "I don't want to let them go for nothing." β
Then, he shook Zhang Xiaohu's arm and said, "Second brother, don't dare in the future, okay?"
Zhang Xiaohu turned pale and said strangely: "Why don't you dare? Not only will this be the case in the future, but also let them bleed heavily, these ruffians and hooligans, I can't wait to pump them myself, why should I blame you?"
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Zhang Xiaohu in surprise, stopped shaking her arms, didn't believe her ears, and asked, "Do you really agree with what I did yesterday?"
Zhang Xiaohu smiled and said, "Yes, the second brother raised his hands and feet in agreement." β
Zhang Xiaohua listened, giggled, and said: "This is my good second brother, by the way, I haven't looked at yesterday's harvest yet, now it's time to take stock." β
After speaking, he took out a bunch of money bags from his arms, large and small, and of different styles.
I casually took one from it that looked bulging, opened it and looked at it, Zhang Xiaohu also found one from it and opened it directly.
Zhang Xiaohua had some scattered silver taels in the money bag, and some copper coins, and he was counting them, when he heard Zhang Xiaohu shout: "Yo, there are a lot of things in this money bag, and there is actually a bead flower, hey, why is there a small stone?"
Zhang Xiaohua looked up, no, the second brother was holding the money bag he picked up, looking at it with taste, Zhang Xiaohua snatched it over, and said: "This is not yesterday's trophy, I picked it up on the mountain a few days ago." β
Zhang Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, and did not doubt him, and said with a smile: "Xiaohua, your fortune is here, how can you pick it up casually, it is a money bag, and there is a lot of silver in it." β
Zhang Xiaohua didn't bother to explain to him, took a money bag from the table and threw it to him, saying, "Let's hurry up and see it." β
Zhang Xiaohu caught it and said, "It's so slow, it's better to fall on the table." β
Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Second brother, this is a good idea. β
So the two of them picked up the money bag and poured out the contents one by one.
Although there are seven or eight money bags on the table, there are really few things in them, except for one of them, there is a little more silver in the money bag of Brother Fan, and the others are mostly copper coins, Zhang Xiaohua looked at it and said in her heart: "The money bag is so empty, no wonder you have to fight your own ideas." β
However, the ancients are good, gather sand into a tower, gather armpits into a fur, although each money bag does not have much silver, but there are seven or eight as many as one, this look carefully, in addition to dozens of copper coins, the scattered silver is also as much as five taels, Zhang Xiaohu is overjoyed.
After cleaning up, Zhang Xiaohu pushed the silver and copper coins to Zhang Xiaohua and said, "This is your harvest, put it away yourself." β
Zhang Xiaohua smiled, left the copper coins, and pushed the rest to the second brother, saying: "Second brother, I will leave the copper coins for pocket use, you put away the silver for me first, and bring it back to my father and mother when I have time." β
When Zhang Xiaohu heard this, he was not polite, he found a good-looking one from those empty money bags, put the silver in his arms, and said: "Okay, I'll be disrespectful, I always have my own money bag today, hehe, it's no worse than the one you picked up from the mountain." β
Zhang Xiaohua didn't say anything, and took out the jade plate from her arms, and said, "I'll give you this too, the man said it was a fake yesterday, and I will find a pawnshop for some silver when I have time." β
Zhang Xiaohu took it with his hand, looked left and right, and returned it to him, saying: "Forget it, there is a lot of silver, this is a fake after all, it is worthless, you can just take it and play with it." β
Zhang Xiaohua listened to the words and held them in her arms.
Then, he took out his little sword from his arms and handed it to Zhang Xiaohu.
Zhang Xiaohu saw that Zhang Xiaohua kept taking out things from his arms, and couldn't help laughing: "Is there a treasure bag in your arms?
Zhang Xiaohua smiled, and then told Zhang Xiaohu about the incident with He Tianshu in the small town weapons store, Zhang Xiaohu listened, secretly funny, before Pingyang City did not dart, I only thought that the weapons everywhere were the same price, these few times, only to find that the price of each weapon in each place is different, these seven taels of silver must not be much in He Tianshu's eyes, but in the eyes of the blacksmith, it is a large amount, no wonder people will buy one get one free.
Zhang Xiaohu saw that his younger brother liked this little sword very much, so he took it and took a look, looking left and right, in addition to being very heavy, he couldn't see any fame, and he didn't have the feeling of being connected by blood as Zhang Xiaohua said, so he smiled and said: "It seems that this little sword is in love with you, I don't see anything strange." However, it is also something that is given away for seven taels of silver, so it must be a good thing. β
Zhang Xiaohu said this, but he didn't think so, thinking that it was just that his younger brother didn't have many toys since he was a child, and now it's easy to find one, and he can't put it down.
Zhang Xiaohua saw that the second brother didn't pay so much attention to it, and his interest was also lacking, so he naturally couldn't tell him about killing people with this little sword, so he had to hold it in his arms again.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and Zhang Xiaohu said: "Let's go, Xiaohua, let's go eat first, wait a while, I'm still busy, you can play in this yard." The time for us to go back is basically set.,Just go back with us.,Don't worry about anything else.,Just play well.γ β
Zhang Xiaohua pursed her lips and said secretly in her heart: "You still treat me as a child!"
Zhang Xiaohu led Zhang Xiaohua out of the door, and met Luo Darthead head-on, Luo Dart's sleepy eyes seemed to be a hangover and did not wake up, looking at Zhang Xiaohu was not embarrassed, but yawned and asked: "Zhang Xiaohu, how did you talk about yesterday's incident?"
Zhang Xiaohu replied respectfully: "Da Dart, everything has been negotiated, and after breakfast, I will report to you and ask you to decide." β
Luo Darttou nodded and said, "Okay, well done, you go to eat first, and find me later." By the way, this little brother is really your brother-in-law?"
Zhang Xiaohu smiled: "Yes, he is my younger brother Zhang Xiaohua, it is a coincidence that he actually met here, and I will tell you in detail later." β
Luo Dart waved his hand and asked the two Zhang Xiaohu brothers to go to dinner, covered their mouths and yawned, and went somewhere else.
Zhang Xiaohua carefully pulled Zhang Xiaohu and asked, "Second brother, I don't think this Luo dart head has the appearance of a big dart head, is it that the dart head of the Lotus Dart Bureau is like this?"
Zhang Xiaohu looked around and said cautiously: "Xiaohua, you can't say that, don't talk about others casually, be careful of the misfortune that comes out of your mouth." Other darts are not like this.,It's probably because Luo Dart has been away for a long time.,The reason for homesickness.γ β
Subsequently, Zhang Xiaohua followed Zhang Xiaohu to have some breakfast in the kitchen of the small courtyard, at this time, there were still a lot of dart masters in the kitchen, and there were still a lot of executioners, and many people in it already knew that Zhang Touer met his younger brother here, and Zhang Xiaohua's performance on the street yesterday has been known to everyone by Yuan Changqing's big mouth, so everyone has a great impression of this seemingly inconspicuous teenager, how to say that this is also our brother from Pingyang City, who can actually beat the ground snake all over the ground to find teeth, thinking about it is very comfortable, like his own handsγ
Zhang Xiaohua has not seen her relatives for many days, and now she has seen so many villagers in Pingyang City, of course, she is very close, and she talks to everyone obediently, and before the meal is finished, everyone feels that Zhang Xiaohua is becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, just like her brother.
Zhang Xiaohu has a lot of affairs in the team, and he doesn't have much time to take care of Zhang Xiaohua, he was afraid that he would not be suitable here, but at this time, everyone liked Zhang Xiaohua, so he was relieved, and hurriedly ate dinner, told Zhang Xiaohua some words, and hurried to Luo Daotou's house.
Luo Da Dart's house is obviously bigger than Zhang Xiaohu's, it is just one of the two houses with a hall house, at this time Luo Da Dart is sitting in the hall, with a bowl of gruel in front of his face, and he is rubbing his temples vigorously, obviously the hangover has affected his appetite and made his head swell.
Seeing Zhang Xiaohu enter the house, Luo Daotou pointed to the stool next to him and said, "Sit." β
Then, he took the rice bowl, drank two sips, and called someone to take it out.
Luo Darthead took two more sips of tea, then turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaohu and asked, "Deputy Darthead Zhang, tell me about yesterday's events." β
Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly got up and said: "Luo Da Dart head doesn't have to be so polite, although I am grateful to Fourth Master Wen and let me be your deputy, however, I am still the executioner, you don't have to call me so, just call me Zhang Xiaohu." β
Luo Darthead said with a smile: "Although Deputy Dart Head Zhang is now an executioner in the dart bureau, he has entered the martial arts hall to learn advanced martial arts, and it is not a matter of words to be a dart head in the future? You don't think so?"
Zhang Xiaohu still prevaricated: "If you don't have a dart for a day, then you can't call it that for a day, do you say yes?"
Luo Dart smiled, disapproving.
Zhang Xiaohu saw that Luo Darthead didn't speak, knowing that he was a little jealous of himself that he could go to Xiwutang to study, and moreover, the position of this deputy team leader was also fought for by Wen Siye, so he probably didn't mean to call this Luo Dadart, so he didn't argue, and said with a pleasant face: "This is what I discussed with the merchants yesterday. β
Subsequently, Zhang Xiaohu discussed the haode matter with the merchants yesterday, and said it in detail with Luo Da Dart, Luo Dart nodded while listening, and waited for Zhang Xiaohu to finish the report, then said: "You did a good job, Zhang Deputy Dart, everything is as you agreed, you go to give them a letter in a while, and it's decided." β
Zhang Xiaohu nodded yes and said, "Na Luo Da Dart, I'm going out now, tell the brothers to pack up in advance and prepare to leave in a few days?"
Luo Darttou nodded and said, "Haode, it's time to tell them, they've been here for so long, and the New Year has passed." β
After Zhang Xiaohu gave a salute, he turned around and prepared to go out.
At this time, Luo Darthead spoke again and said, "Deputy Dart Zhang, wait a minute." β
Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly retracted his steps, turned around and asked, "Luo Da Dart, what else do you have to do?"
Luo Darttou smiled: "That's the case, Deputy Dart Zhang, we should lead by example, we should lead by example, take a good lead in everything, and be a haode example?"
Zhang Xiaohu was stunned and said: "Luo Da Darthead, what I did wrong, please remind me a lot, it is not too long to arrive at the dart game, and many places still have to learn from you veteran dart masters." β
Luo Darttou listened, very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, we people go out to be bodyguards, the dart bureau has a cost, and there is a standard for everyone's daily eating, drinking, and Lazar, and you also know this standard, and the team's finances will also be truthfully recorded, if there is a discrepancy, I can't explain it to the dart bureau, right? β
When Zhang Xiaohu heard this, his face changed greatly.
