Chapter 18 Returning Home
Su Mo regretted the moment he said this.
Why did I suddenly suddenly decide to agree to visit him?
He wanted to say something and tried to slip away, but seeing Yang Xiaoyun's happy face, he couldn't bring himself to say it out loud.
I smiled bitterly, that's all I can do.
It will be fine later. I'll just visit them when I have time and deal with it.
And then he and Yang Xiaoyun just made small talk.
The two people have had very few opportunities to contact each other in the past few years. After Su Mo traveled through time, apart from having memories of each other, they had very little in common.
It would be better to say that we are familiar strangers rather than childhood sweethearts who grew up together.
However, it can be seen that Yang Xiaoyun takes good care of Su Mo.
Tell him about your experiences as a bodyguard while traveling around the world.
It's a pity that her eloquence is average, and her story is just plain and straightforward. Besides, the Tiexue Escort Agency is different from Su Mo's declining Ziyang Escort Agency.
When she goes out, shouldn’t the outlaws in any mountain or village give her some face?
Of course, this face is given to the Tiexue Escort Agency, or to Yang Yizhi.
But even so, with the foundation and Yang Xiaoyun's outstanding performance, the journey was naturally quite smooth.
After this chat, Su Mo had a different understanding of Yang Xiaoyun.
The Yang Xiaoyun in my memory was more of a violent person, and my impression of this person is often more of fear than anything else.
But now it seems that Yang Xiaoyun's concern for Su Mo is sincere.
And there are extremely high expectations for him.
As for love between men and women, we haven’t seen any of it for the time being.
Is it more of a habit that is developed from childhood?
That's good.
Can save a lot of trouble.
We were drinking tea and chatting. In the blink of an eye, the sun was setting. A middle-aged man from the Tiexue Escort Agency came over and said, "Young Escort Chief, we can't delay any longer. We have to go back."
"Okay, Su Mo, come with us."
It doesn't matter.
Su Mo had to walk on his own two legs, so if he followed the people from the Tiexue Escort Agency back, at least he would have a horse to ride.
The escorts in the Tiexue Escort Agency had no objections. Two of them shared a horse and gave one to Su Mo.
In this way, they returned all the way to Luoxia City with the people from the Tiexue Escort Agency. After entering the city gate, they parted ways.
"Remember to come find me."
Before leaving, Yang Xiaoyun waved to Su Mo as a reminder.
Su Mo had no choice but to agree again before heading towards the Zi Yang Escort Agency.
…
…
The location of Ziyang Escort Agency is not remote, and in front of its door is one of the main roads of Luoxia City.
When it is busy, there are cars coming and going in front of the door in an endless stream, which is very lively.
However, it was not yet dark and the night market had not started, so the place was empty and not bustling.
Standing at the door of the escort agency, I looked up and saw a plaque hanging high with four big characters written on it: Zi Yang Escort Agency!
The handwriting is simple, vigorous and powerful.
It is said that this was the plaque that our ancestor Su Chengyu personally went to Ziyang Gate to ask for.
As long as this plaque remains intact, the Zi Yang Escort Agency will always be protected by the Zi Yang Sect.
However, this asylum is a matter of two opinions.
Of course, we cannot bother the sect with trivial matters.
If they really encountered some unsolvable grudge, even one that involved the lives of the entire family, Zi Yang Sect would naturally not sit idly by.
But this promise was useful to Su Chengyu at that time.
When it comes to Su Mo, he has even less contact with Zi Yang Sect. Although they are not to the point of being disgusted with each other, Zi Yang Sect probably looks down on him as a useless member of the Su family.
Naturally, this signboard only has a nominal function.
He came to the door, pulled the knocker and knocked.
After waiting for a while, the door opened, revealing a pair of slightly cloudy eyes.
He wanted to ask, but after seeing Su Mo, a look of surprise flashed across his face.
"The Master is back!"
Immediately the door creaked open and an old servant came into view.
Uncle Fu!
Uncle Fu is very old, he must be at least sixty years old this year.
Ever since Su Mo could remember, Uncle Fu had been serving in the escort agency.
It is said that in his early years, he was a poor man who was rescued by Su Mo's grandfather.
I have been serving in the escort agency since I was young.
He served the Su family for three generations.
Even though Su Mo was a bad person and his followers scattered, Uncle Fu still stayed loyally by Su Mo's side.
When he saw Su Mo coming back, he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes no matter what, but he did not overstep his duty and looked Su Mo up and down carefully. After making sure that Su Mo was not injured and had no missing limbs, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He said quickly, "Master, please come in. You must have had a hard time on this trip. You are a few days later than expected. I was thinking this morning that if you don't come back today, I will go to Shili Pavilion to meet you tomorrow morning."
Su Mo smiled bitterly: "Don't, you are old, remember not to rush around."
"How could it be... When I was young, I followed the old master around and even slept in the snow. I am in good health."
Uncle Fu smiled, revealing the only three teeth left in his mouth. His face was full of wrinkles, but there was also an indescribable pride in it.
"That's right, but don't worry, this human escort trip is short and safe, and there were no accidents. It's just that the scholar was a little slow, so it took some time."
"A scholar is good for nothing. This is true."
Uncle Fu suddenly realized: "I'm glad you're back safely. I'll go to the kitchen and get some hot water for you. Take a bath first to get rid of the dust on your body. After you're done, you can eat."
"Um."
Su Mo nodded slightly, but stopped him again: "Uncle Fu, this is for you."
As he spoke, he took out the silver note and the five taels of silver that Li Yishu had given him at that time from his arms.
"Ah, why so many?"
Uncle Fu was a little surprised.
"Don't worry about it, just put it in the account."
"Okay, okay."
As expected, Uncle Fu didn't ask any more questions and put all the banknotes and silver into his arms.
In this small and run-down escort agency, all current expenses are managed by Uncle Fu.
Although Su Mo had also considered it, since they were the only ones left, old and young, to depend on each other, why bother about it?
But Uncle Fu said that there is no order without rules, and the escort agency will not always be like this, so the rules must be established from the beginning.
There is no available accountant now, so I will take the position temporarily. When the escort agency becomes prosperous in the future, there will naturally be an accountant to take care of the accounts, a groom to take care of the horses, and a doorman to take care of the door, each with his own duties.
Su Mo was not someone who would not listen. After thinking about it, he felt that the advice made sense and agreed to it.
After leading Su Mo into the door and through the corridor, they came to Su Mo's bedroom. Uncle Fu turned around quickly and came back a moment later. However, he did not bring hot water, but a copper basin. The old man smiled:
"Master, go home and wash your face first."
