Chapter XXVII
Chu Xiaowen didn't go far, and saw several people walking out of a courtyard.
One of the most conspicuous is a thin middle-aged man, he has no unique temperament, and there is no peculiarity in his appearance, the reason why people will look at him at first glance is because there is a pair of huge wings behind him, and looking at his appearance, he may be bigger than a hut when he stretches out.
This is the national of the Yu Republic of China, Chu Xiaowen is the first time he has seen a foreigner, but after his eyes flashed with surprise, he immediately saluted the others: "I have seen the head of the family, the chief teacher, the incense teacher, and a few stewards." ”
If the person who walked out of the courtyard was not the pair of wings of the middle-aged man, no one would pay attention to him at all, because these people standing beside him all exuded the aura of a strong man, especially Chu Long, who stood at the front like a high mountain, and Chu Mengshen, who exuded a majestic spirit in his gestures.
Everyone showed appreciation when they saw Chu Xiaowen, and Chu Mengshen smiled: "No need to be polite." ”
Then he turned to the national of the Yu Republic and introduced: "Come and introduce the Yule brothers, this Chu Xiaowen is one of the several children who rescued the brothers yesterday." ”
Yu Le showed surprise when he heard this, and thanked Chu Xiaowen: "Thank you little brother for coming to the rescue, the Chu family really deserves to be a famous family, and all the children are young heroes." ”
Yu Le was sincerely grateful and emotional, but Chu Xiaowen's expression did not change, but he just arched his hand and said: "The predecessor is too famous." ”
Chu Mengshen smiled mildly and said, "You don't have to be humble, it's really a blessing for my Chu family to have someone as talented as you among the children of my Chu family, this time you are not lightly injured, so let's go back and rest quickly." ”
"Yes. Chu Xiaowen returned the salute respectfully, and stood aside to watch the head of the family and the stewards leave.
It's just that Xiang Jiaoxi didn't leave, but stood next to Chu Xiaowen.
After the others walked away, Chu Xiaowen looked at Xiang Jiaoxi strangely.
Xiangjiao Xi also looked at him, and said with a smile: "How about it, my dagger is easy to use." ”
No one saw the final fight between Chu Xiaowen and the old man, but the masters of the Chu family were like clouds, and some traces left from the scene, and the neatly broken knife, they also knew what weapon it was broken, so it was not surprising that Xiang Jiaoxi knew that Chu Xiaowen had used that dagger.
Chu Xiaowen nodded and said, "If it weren't for it, I would have died a long time ago, but fortunately I didn't sell it." ”
Xiangjiao Xi smiled even more proudly, but after laughing for a while, he suddenly reached out and knocked Chu Xiaowen's head.
Chu Xiaowen stroked his head and looked at her dissatisfied, thinking that he didn't provoke you, why did he like to knock people's heads so much.
Xiang Jiaoxi looked at his dissatisfied eyes but snorted, and said: "What a boldness, I found that the traffickers didn't come to inform the steward, and you want to solve it? ”
When Chu Xiaowen heard this, he put away his gloom and said, "It's true that we are too bold and reckless. ”
Seeing the remorse on his face, Xiang Jiaoxi didn't blame him anymore, and said slowly: "It makes sense for the Chu family to require every disciple who leaves the academy to go through a few years of training, and now that you have experienced it, I won't say anything." Chu Li and they have already explained everything before and after, their stinky boys are ignorant, thinking that you are taking care of stealing the limelight, you have done a good job this time, many children have to show up to rescue them for the first time in the face of the rivers and lakes, it is really rare for you to calmly make a judgment that let them form a formation. ”
Xiang Jiaoxi patted Chu Xiaowen's shoulder with great satisfaction, and said: "Although you and Liu Meixue were both injured a little, but there were no fewer people in the past, it really made me have a long face, the head of the family said, you have made a great contribution, and you will be exempted from your errands in the future, you just need to cultivate with peace of mind." ”
Chu Xiaowen was overjoyed when he heard this, his cultivation time was already extremely short, and he could only use the evening time to remedy it every day, but now that he was exempted from his errands, he could put more time and mind on cultivation.
It's just that I thought that I would have no money for errands in the future, but I was a little reluctant.
At this time, Xiang Jiaoxi said with a straight face: "However, your performance so well is all due to my blessings, and famous teachers are high-level apprentices, so should you repay me well?"
Chu Xiaowen's expression tightened when he heard this, and he suddenly felt that the red-faced dagger in his arms was full of thorns, and said carefully: "Teach you, you better raise your noble hand." ”
Xiangjiao Xi was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Chu Xiaowen's expression and this tone, he immediately understood what he meant, and under the blushing face, he knocked Chu Xiaowen's head hard, and said angrily: "What do you think, I originally thought it was a little embarrassing to let you continue to run errands, but now I am really not embarrassed at all, I will continue to run errands every month in the future, if you dare to refuse, I will peel you now." ”
After saying that, he snorted and walked away in a huff.
Zun Wuyi also snorted and scolded: "If you dare to flirt in front of me, I will also peel your skin." ”
Chu Xiaowen touched his head and smiled bitterly, is this called flirting and scolding? Xiang Jiaoxi was not polite to him at all, which made him almost burst into tears, but the strength was also controlled just right, so that he was only in pain, but his head was not swollen.
Although helpless, Chu Xiaowen was still grateful, after all, the money for running errands was a lot of paving for himself and his mother. Xiang Jiaoxi naturally thought of this, so he would continue to help run errands.
The matter of slaves has been disturbed for half a month, and the people of the Yu Republic are extremely grateful to the Chu family, and they are also extremely grateful to Chu Xiaowen, although they are vulgar and cheesy, but they are much less scheming than the people Chu Xiaowen has seen, simple and gentle, and Chu Xiaowen has a good impression of him.
Then he was escorted back to the land of the poor mountains and rivers by a steward.
As for the other two slave girls, the girl was abducted because of her good looks, but fortunately the traffickers hoped to sell them for a good price, but did not damage her body, which was also a great luck in misfortune. After asking about his background, he quickly contacted his family and was sent away.
The only thing that is a little difficult is the little girl, who is the same age as Chu Xiaowen, but she looks very thin because of malnutrition, like a seven or eight-year-old child.
She has been a slave since she was a child, without parents, without family, confused, she doesn't even know who the previous owner is, she only remembers that when she helped her master move the goods, she brought it out by the way, because she was too thin to work, and she was also ugly, and she didn't even have the mood to play with, so she casually sold it to a gang of old people passing by.
The Chu family weighed one or two, so they handed her over to an old shopkeeper of a cloth shop in the city to take care of her as a daughter.
The old shopkeeper and his wife have no children under their knees, Chu Xiaowen has seen him a few times, he is kind, but he is a good home for the little girl.
However, Chu Xiaowen also knew about these things from Chu Li and Xiao Ji, and he hadn't seen the two unfortunate women since he saw them outside the small courtyard that day.
I heard that the girl wanted to come over several times to thank Chu Xiaowen for saving her life, but Chu Xiaowen was busy with her practice, so the girl didn't dare to bother more, and she was disappointed every time.
Now that he has time, Chu Xiaowen prefers to devote all his energy to cultivation.
