Chapter 215: Burning the House

Li Su heard the meaning, Zheng Xiaolou is a very casual person, it is enough to do his best in everything, it doesn't matter if the craftsmanship is too trendy to save the lives of the living, he also has after-sales service, which can protect the dead from being dug up......

After thinking about it, Li Su still felt that the cost performance was not high enough.

Because the living person Zheng Xiaolou wants to protect is himself, if nothing happens, he only has one life.

is very irresponsible, Li Su suddenly felt that it was useless to find this bodyguard, if he encountered danger, he could only rely on himself to save his life.

Zheng Xiaolou still held the stone to hone his strength, beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his face and arms, the tendons and flesh on his arms bulged high, and his bronzed skin shone crystal in the sun, although he was sweating, his breathing was very steady, and he didn't see any wheezing, and carefully calculated the frequency of lifting the stone mill, Li Su had been talking to him for thirty or forty times.

Li Su stared at him for a long time, and suddenly smiled.

It should be a capable person, ordinary people may barely be able to lift one or two hundred catties of stone grinding, but it is a little difficult to lift it up and down dozens of times, not to mention the current realm of not blushing and panting, not to mention the common people, even if it is a general in the Tang army, I am afraid that the generals above the captain of Guoyi do not have this ability.

"Okay, let's talk about other ......" Li Su changed the topic, and now he was most concerned about Zheng Xiaolou's origin.

According to Wang Zhi, this guy suddenly came out of the East Market, he didn't know the past, he didn't know the future, he was picked up as a stray dog, and he was sold for a sky-high price of 30 yuan after a fight......

However, people always have to have a background, a guy of unknown origin follows him, acting as a guard, as the person being guarded. Can Li Su feel at ease?

"Brother Zheng, well, you are older than me, so I will call you Brother Zheng," Li Su changed his face to care and said with a smile: "Is the family okay?" Married? How many people are in the family? I don't like a Guanzhong person with an accent. Where is your home? ”

Zheng Xiaolou was holding a stone mill, and he didn't bother to take care of him at all this time.

After waiting for a long time, Zheng Xiaolou didn't seem to have any intention of answering the question, and Li Su sighed in disappointment.

Send him to Wang Zhi tomorrow, a person of unknown origin, no matter how high his ability is, Li Su will not dare to use it.

When he turned around and was about to tease the puppy, Zheng Xiaolou suddenly spoke.

"I heard that you are very capable, and you seem to have done a lot of things. was also made an official by the emperor, and many people in Chang'an City are talking about you......"

Li Su turned around and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I'm very powerful, and I'm still very handsome, in fact, I can get mixed up with this face......

Zheng Xiaolou ignored this very shameless sentence, and just stared at him fixedly.

"Don't worry, no matter where I come from. I have no ill intentions towards you, and I will do what I promised Wang Zhi. I'll take care of you for three years, unless I die. ”

Li Su put away his smiling face and met his gaze, and the two looked at each other.

"Can I trust you?"

Zheng Xiaolou nodded: "Yes." ”

Li Su smiled again: "Okay, I'll try." ”

Zheng Xiaolou's face also showed a warm color, nodded and said, "Are there any more questions?" ”

"And one last question......"

"You say."

"Thirty is too expensive. Can you pay me back ten times? ”

"I can't."

*************************************************************

Since then, Li Su has been confused and followed a guard of unknown origin.

Zheng Xiaolou is not a person of many words, he is silent and has a cold expression. In the future, when I marry my mother-in-law, most of them will also be the kind of domineering husband image who "sits up and moves by himself".

usually lives in the front yard of the Li family, and the family cleans up a side room for him. Steward Xue originally planned to add some furnishings to his room, such as screens, calligraphy and paintings, paper and pencils, etc., but who knew that Zheng Xiaolou didn't want anything, there was only one bed in his room, which was even more simple than the old monk's meditation room.

Now that Li Su is used to Zheng Xiaolou following behind him when he goes out, he is not used to having someone behind him always staring at him, so Li Su has to force himself to be patient.

It's not a daily patience, Zheng Xiaolou's whereabouts are very mysterious, sometimes he lives at home, and suddenly disappears, after a day or two, he returns to Li's house, and lifts a stone mill in the yard as if nothing happened, and those ugly girls at home will always blush and cover their faces to peek when they see his sweaty strong tendon meat......

Sometimes it is even more excessive, walking on the road with Li Su, and disappearing as he walks, causing Li Su to always think that he has attracted a ghost, and then disappears for a day or two, and this ghost appears again......

In short, because of Zheng Xiaolou, Li Su's recent psychological pressure has been particularly high, and he has signs of mental breakdown.

…………

Living in the same village, Li Su has not seen Dongyang much recently.

It's not that the feelings are weak, but that there are fewer opportunities. Since Gao Yang's brain convulsions inexplicably visited Sister Dongyang, and by the way, he met Li Su, who was fun and novel, and could often extort various fragrances from him, Gao Yang has been in a bright mood recently, so the frequency of coming and going to Taiping Village has become more and more frequent.

Li Su's relationship with Dongyang is not bright now, when Gao Yang is there, Li Su has to treat Dongyang with courtesy, when they meet, they bow down and give a salute, and they also give a salute when they say goodbye, and they have to give a salute when they say goodbye, and they are worried that Princess Gaoyang, who is a little ghost, will see something strange, Li Su and Dongyang have a tacit understanding that they will try to meet as little as possible on occasions where Gao Yang is there.

couldn't play happily with Dongyang, so Li Su had to find Wang Zhuan.

Wang Zhu is also very busy these days, Li Su handed over the perfume workshop to him, Wang Zhu did it very carefully, maybe not as awake as his younger brother Wang Zhi, but his attitude towards doing things is still very down-to-earth, and the typical stupid bird flies first.

Married a fierce mother-in-law, the Wang brothers are better than dead, in line with the principle of being able to save one and count one, Li Su first got Wang Zhi out of the house, and now he is thriving in Chang'an East City, and Wang Zhu, Li Su generously gave him a percentage of the profits from perfume trading.

Can't underestimate this profit, now the women of the powerful family of Chang'an City are eager for perfume, perfume is in short supply, the eldest grandson family originally planned to sell perfume to the entire Guanzhong area, but now even the needs of Chang'an City can not be satisfied, can only dispel the idea of expansion at the same time, and step up the construction of a new perfume workshop, Wang Zhu is one of the managers of the workshop, Li Su's full agent, spokesman, financial supervision and major shareholder.

In the first month of the perfume sale, a carriage loaded with copper coins and silver cakes drove into the courtyard of the Wang family, and the guards who drove the car told the Wang family's father and mother, this is the profit of the perfume, and your eldest son earns it.

The Wang family was immediately stunned, Wang Zhuan's fierce mother-in-law from that day, her voice suddenly became soft, looking at Wang Zhuan's eyes were so gentle that she could pinch out the water, and she looked submissive, so scared that Wang Zhu lived in the perfume workshop for three days and did not dare to go home.

It's almost November, the weather is obviously cold, the grass is withered and yellow, the geese are flying south, an autumn wind blows, and the whistling sound of breaking through the sky can be heard clearly.

Li Su sat on the edge of the river, holding a long fishing rod in his hand, the fishing rod was made by his own hands, the rod was brushed with a layer of varnish, and a few small words were carved at the end.

"Fortune and treasure."

No one can explain why such words are engraved on a fishing rod, and perhaps even Li Su himself can't explain it.

Purely a personal preference, these words seem auspicious.

Today, Zheng Xiaolou disappeared again.

Li Su was numb, anyway, the Firearms Bureau was on holiday recently, and he wandered around the village all day with nothing to do, it didn't matter if there was Zheng Xiaolou or not, there was no pair of eyes staring at him, maybe he was more comfortable.

Wang Zhu sat next to Li Su, holding a yellow grass stalk in his mouth, lazily looking at the slowly flowing river.

"It's all autumn, why are there still fish? Don't bother, if you want to eat fish, ask someone to go to the market and buy a few......"

Li Sutou didn't reply: "The purpose of fishing is not how many fish you catch, but your state of mind, understand?" ”

Wang Zhu grinned: "The purpose of fishing is not to catch fish, this is too weird, why are you busy not for fishing?" I've been sitting stupidly all morning, I haven't caught any balls, do you want to eat fish? I'll pay for you to eat, the largest restaurant in Jingyang County, you can eat whatever you want! ”

Li Su sighed: "Talking to a layman like you, my grade is falling down......"

The bored Wang Zhu struggled to find a topic, but he couldn't stand the quiet environment.

"Hey, Li Su, my second child came back yesterday, and he heard about something, something amazing......"

The tone was very exaggerated, trying to hook Li Su's attention back from the fishing rod, but Li Su didn't move, and didn't bother to pay attention to him at all.

Wang Zhu touched his nose stupidly, since the topic had begun, he was embarrassed to finish, so he had to continue.

"Do you remember the Hu family, the landlord of our Taiping Village? Later, the family that was forced by the Zheng family to sell their land and move to the house, and now Princess Dongyang's fief used to be his family's ......"

"Well, what's wrong?" Li Su responded perfunctorily.

Wang Zhu patted his thigh and sighed: "The Hu family has no good results, and they are all dead." ”

Li Su's expression moved, and he turned his head to look at him, obviously a little shocked.

"Why are you dead?"

"After leaving Guanzhong, the Hu family moved to Yuezhou, Jiangnan Province, settled down, and reopened the business with the Zheng family's 2,000 yuan of money, who knew that the business was opened less than a month, one night there was a strong man in the family, the whole family from the master to the servant all died tragically, the family property was looted, and finally a fire burned the yard ......"

Wang Zhu shook his head and sighed, "It's really ...... done."

Li Su was also shocked and muttered, "The house is burned...... What a hatred this must be. ”
