Chapter 80: Mozi
Xiao Han touched his chin and asked thoughtfully, "How do you know to ask him about the repeater?" ”
Uncle Zizi looked around nervously, then leaned into Xiao Han's ear and whispered: "It's not that I went to look for him, but when we were searching for the assassin, we saw him, and he recognized this repeater at a glance, so I took him to see you, Master Hou, or ......."
Uncle Zizi said, with a chopping action in his hand, how could he not see that this person had some relationship with the assassin?!
"Don't ......" Xiao Han hurriedly waved his hand, he knew that this old man could really say it and do it!
"Just pay more attention to him, I see that this person is a little bookish and angry, I will arrange a livelihood for him in a while, you and Steward Lu find a few clever people to join him, don't let him find out, first look at his heart to make a conclusion, I have a feeling, it's not good, this is a big fish!"
"Then, okay, Master Hou!" Although Uncle Zizi hesitated a little, he finally nodded and agreed.
After deciding this matter, Xiao Han touched his chin and slowly raised his legs and walked back, stunned and Xiaodong followed closely behind......
Seeing this, Xiao Han suddenly wanted to laugh, now even when he goes to the toilet, someone has to follow, who am I recruiting to provoke whom?
Just after walking two steps, Xiao Han seemed to think of something, turned his head and asked Uncle Zizi: "By the way, does this person have any family members?" ”
"Yes!"
Uncle Stunned was very sure about this, because it was he and Steward Lu who came to receive these people and distribute accommodation for them at that time, so he remembered it very clearly.
"He has an old wife and a grandson in the back."
"Oh, that's good, that's good......"
Xiao Han nodded in agreement, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
A few returned to the tent, the man may have been waiting a little impatiently, and was sitting cross-legged on a piece of broken skin, Xiao Han noticed that this person was sitting cross-legged in a very neat way, and his body was more like a javelin, so straight that no one seemed to be able to bend it.
"This is a proud person...... Xiao Han said in his heart.
"Mr. Cao, can I call you that?"
The footsteps of Xiao Han and the others came back alarmed the thin old man, Xiao Han saw this, smiled and walked over, feeling that something was not quite right standing there, as if there was a condescending feeling, so he patted his butt and sat opposite him casually.
Of course, Xiao Dong quickly pulled out a mat from the side and spread it on the ground when Xiao Han slapped his buttocks, and now he is more and more integrated into the identity of a pro-soldier, in comparison, it seems that the stunned man can only be used to block the gun......
Xiao Han Shi Ran sat down, but he didn't cross his legs, because the cross-legged technique he specially practiced in order to go to his mother-in-law's house for dinner in the future really couldn't be used in front of this person.
The thin old man was not surprised, but nodded very flatly, as if he was not Xiao Han's subordinate, but Xiao Han's superior.
Xiao Han was not ashamed when he saw this, but smiled very happily, and said to the thin old man: "Mr. Cao, I also thought about it just now, the assassin or the ranger, if we don't know, let's not speculate, save yourself all day long, I can see that Mr. Cao must have great talent, I have also seen the situation here Mr. Cao, there is a lack of talent like Mr. Cao, if I don't give up, I want to ask Mr. Cao to add the master book of the house first, and help me coordinate some things in the house." ”
The thin old man listened to Xiao Han quietly, and seemed relieved when he heard that the assassin would not be pursued, but he did not say anything about Xiao Han's invitation to him as the chief bookkeeper, but there seemed to be some excitement on his face, as if he was in the way, and he did not directly agree.
As soon as Xiao Han saw that there was a door, he suddenly became more enthusiastic, took the thin old man's hand and continued: "Mr. Cao, why don't our family talk about two families, you have also seen it, our family is in ruins now, there are too many things, I have a headache when I think about it!" It would be great if you helped me coordinate these things first, oh, I almost forgot, sir's share, first according to the housekeeper's share standard, a month, five dollars, how about it? ”
"This ......"
The thin old man was expressionless when he heard that he was invited to be the chief bookkeeper, but before the last five yuan of money, he was finally moved, and his hand unconsciously touched the straw sandals with half-leaking toes under his feet.
Five guan money, that is, five thousand dollars, five thousand big sons! This was already a very high treatment in the Tang Dynasty, and at this time, the prime minister was only ten yuan a month!
Thinking about his whole life, his wife is still busy all day long, and she has not enjoyed a day of Qingfu, and the little grandson can't move when he sees the jujube cake seller on the street, but he says: "Grandpa, I don't ...... hungry"
Every time the thin old man thinks of this, he seems to want to cry, his heart seems to be pressed by a boulder, and he is uncomfortable, but the road is chosen by himself, and he is also self-seeking to endure the hardships, and he can't complain about others, but it's a pity that his family also suffers with his own bad old man, why bother?
After a long time, the thin old man seemed to have figured it out, sighed deeply, and said simply: "Okay! Thanks to the little marquis, he looks up to the old man, and the old man is willing to take responsibility. ”
"That's good! Everyone will be a family in the future, Xiaodong, go and get Steward Lu up, distribute clothes to Mr., and then give Mr. two months in advance, don't go quickly! ”
As soon as Xiao Han heard that he agreed, his heart became happy, and while scolding Xiaodong loudly, he diligently helped the old man Cao up, and secretly looked at the joy in the depths of the old man's eyes, Xiao Han smiled like a fox who stole a chicken......
The sky was already dark at this time, and Xiao Han instructed the hurried housekeeper Lu to distribute things to Old Man Cao, and then came to the river with his hands behind his back.
Xiao Han has always liked water, and looking at the slowly flowing river when he is upset can always calm his restless heart.
He didn't know who the assassin was targeting, and he had been very careful since he came here.
Up to now, it should be said that an enemy has not been knotted, for his own sake, let an assassin cost so much, Xiao Han always felt that it was unlikely, but everything is careful, it seems that he needs to change his plan!
Xiao Dong stood behind Xiao Han, watching Xiao Han's face gradually turn from confusion to firmness, he knew that his master had made a decision, and after getting along with him for a long time, Xiao Dong gradually felt that his Hou Ye was different, and what kind of heart was hidden under that grinning smile, Xiao Dong didn't know......
The sun rises in the east, the bright sun dispels the darkness cleanly, due to the danger of last night, this morning to start the camp again, the atmosphere is a little more dignified.
Steward Lu is very happy that the team has changed so much, in his opinion, this is the right way for the Hou Ye to go out on patrol, and he has had a lifelong dream of worshipping the Hou, when the dream is broken, his greatest wish is to help a Hou Ye build a perfect Hou Mansion in his mind, although in the future this dream will be broken more completely......
The convoy is moving forward gradually, and there are times when you can see enough of the best scenery, not to mention that there is no scenery to see now......
In the shaking carriage, Xiao Han threw the repeater dismantled into a pile of parts to the corner of the carriage with some anger, stretched his waist, got out of the carriage, and stood next to the driver to breathe.
How does this damn repeater have so many parts? Such a delicate thing as a weapon, I don't know which two hundred and five designed!
Don't know that what is used in war must follow the two basic principles of simplicity and stability? A Gatling that will break with two shots is not even as good as a rusty pig-killing knife on the battlefield, after all, people will not be broken!
However, Xiao Han did not gain nothing, and he was surprised to find that this small repeater actually used a metal bow arm.
This discovery really surprised Xiao Han, he always thought that the metal bow was a product of later generations, who knew that in the thousands of years today, someone invented and used it, the wisdom of the ancients is indeed not to be underestimated!
In the long convoy, there was a well-dressed teenager standing in a somewhat luxurious carriage, which was indeed a little strange.
But there is no way, Xiao Han doesn't like to ride a car, but he doesn't like to ride a horse even more, when he thinks of the skin under his crotch, Xiao Han feels uncomfortable in his heart, but compared with the two, walking is the most fatal......
Even the best Majia leather boots in Chang'an City, the soles are only a few layers of cooked cowhide, and there is no problem with walking on a flat road, but this damn Tang Dynasty dirt road has small stones at every turn......
When you step on it, it's sour......
When they walked together, Xiaodong and the stunned man dared to pout, did you grow up barefoot since you were a child? Xiao Han's two lives without shoes are estimated to be less than the time they spent in a day when they were children!
It may be that there are villages nearby, and the grass on both sides of the road is no longer green, but patches of wheat fields that have begun to turn yellow, and from time to time there are farmers looking up towards Xiao Han, a huge convoy, with envy in their eyes.
Xiao Han's eyes swept from the wheat field, feeling that these wheat seemed to be much shorter than those in the later generations, and he didn't want to make any more jokes, so he honestly closed his mouth and looked forward, and saw a lonely pavilion, standing by the road in front.
Xiao Han pointed to the pavilion and asked the person next to him, "What is that?" ”
The honest groom looked forward along Xiao Han's fingers, and smiled honestly: "Master Hou, that's the Long Pavilion." ”
"Long Pavilion?" Xiao Han touched his head, feeling a little familiar, as if he had sung a song when he was a child: Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green......
I still remember that the song is very good, and the lyrics express the melancholy and sadness of parting vividly......
It's a pity that in the process of urbanization in later generations, this ancient thing has disappeared in the long river of history, Xiao Han didn't expect that he hadn't seen the real thing in his previous life, but he would let him see it in this life.
Xiao Han was looking at the Changting Pavilion that was getting closer and closer with interest, but the face of Steward Lu on the side was getting worse and worse.
Walking through the long pavilion, five miles forward, it is another pavilion, this time without waiting for Xiao Han to ask, the groom said to Xiao Han in general: "Master Hou, we have arrived at the short pavilion, and if we walk five miles, we will go to Sanyuan County!" ”
