Chapter 35 I Don't Want to Become a Bandit
Liu Hu was in no mood to go back with her, and said quickly, "No need, I don't want to become a bandit."
As soon as he finished saying this, he seemed to have stepped on the tail of a firefly, and said in dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with becoming a bandit? If you can have enough food and clothing, who would want to be a bandit? Isn't it the government's injustice that makes us hungry and cold?"
Liu Hu covered his eyes, not wanting to discuss whether to become a bandit with Hua Ying, and said, "Take off the black cloth, and I promise that I won't like any of these things of yours."
Hua Ying was unwilling to believe Liu Hu's words. She had carefully selected her treasures and would never let Liu Hu see them.
On the way, Liu Hu got to know Hua Ying a little better. It turned out that Hua Ying was the sister of the head of a nearby mountain gang. Because of the government's encirclement and suppression, her brother was captured and sent to Nanshan to mine stones, and the rest of the people were scattered like birds.
Some ran away, some left, and she was the only one left.
Fortunately, her brother left her a lot of food, so she lived alone in the mountains.
"Then why don't you go down the mountain for a walk?" Liu Hu didn't understand why Hua Ying, who looked quite smart, was so rigid.
Because he was wearing a blindfold, Liu Hu didn't know Hua Ying's expression, but he could hear from her tone that Hua Ying was disdainful.
"If I leave, my brother won't be able to find me when he comes back."
In fact, Hua Ying wanted to send Liu Hu to Nanshan, and she had some little ideas of her own, that is, if Liu Hu went to Nanshan, he could still take care of his brother.
Liu Hu thought about it and didn't continue speaking. Hua Ying's brother had made up a beautiful dream for her, so how could he bear to expose it?
How could a bandit leader who was captured by the government be sent to Nanshan to quarry stones? It was already considered good enough that he was not executed on the spot.
The two chatted for a long time and finally arrived at their destination.
"We're here. This is the Ting Lanxuan you mentioned. He looks quite wealthy." Hua Ying wiped the sweat off her forehead. She had never been down the mountain and had no idea where Ting Lanxuan was. Fortunately, Ting Lanxuan was famous enough and she got there after asking around.
Hua Ying lifted Liu Hu up with one hand and helped him take off the blindfold with the other hand. She looked at Lan Xuan and said, "This place is quite expensive. It will cost at least a few taels of silver for a meal."
"Take me in." Liu Hu said in a deep voice, cursing in his heart.
I don’t know if it was my bad luck or Huaying’s bad luck, but I was sent to Tinglanxuan in the next town.
Hua Ying carefully tied up the carriage and walked in with Liu Hu on her back.
As soon as he entered the room, the waiter came up to him and asked, "Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?"
It can be heard that all the guys at Lanxuan were interviewed by Liu Hu himself. He would not look down on anyone because of the way they dress, nor would he look down on others.
Therefore, if Hua Ying was dressed in such cheap clothes in another restaurant, she would have been kicked out long ago.
Hua Ying had never encountered such a situation before. She said timidly, "I'll go find someone."
"Girl, who are you looking for?" Looking at Huaying's strange posture and the big man covered in gauze on her body, the waiter was a little confused.
Before Hua Ying could speak, Liu Hu shouted on her shoulder, "Tell your shopkeeper to come over and tell him that Boss Si men are here."
These people didn't know him, but they knew Ah Si after all. Liu Hu smiled bitterly: He actually had to rely on his brothers' reputation to survive.
The shopkeeper was cooking in the back when he heard someone report that Shopkeeper Si had sent someone over. He started to feel suspicious as it was not the time to check the accounts.
He didn't dare to be negligent at all, so he quickly put down the food and trotted to the front hall.
There is not the slightest fear in my heart. A person of integrity is not afraid of his own shadow. I have not done anything wrong to my boss, so naturally I am not afraid.
There are all kinds of people in the world, and not everyone is afraid of the powerful.
"I didn't know that Master Si's people were coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me." The shopkeeper looked at Hua Ying's strange appearance, but he was not surprised. After all, Ah Si often did surprising things, and he was used to it.
Liu Hu knew who was coming just by the voice, and shouted with his big mouth: "Old Jin, save me from this woman."
The shopkeeper's heart skipped a beat when he heard the name "Old Jin". It was impossible. Why would the Grand Tutor come here?
But in this world, who else would know that I am Lao Jin? Could it be that Asi is in disguise?
"Lao Jin, don't hesitate. I am Liu Hu. Hurry up. If you don't hurry up, I will die at the hands of this woman." Liu Hu shouted.
Even a normal person wouldn't be able to bear being carried like this, let alone a seriously injured person.
Lao Jin hurried forward and said to Hua Ying, "Miss, can you put my master down first?"
Seeing Lao Jin like this, Hua Ying concluded that Liu Hu was definitely a big fish and that her one thousand taels would not be lost. She put Liu Hu aside and said, "I've been walking for so long, and I'm hungry too. Pick out some delicious food and I'll deduct it from the one thousand taels."
"One thousand taels?" Lao Jin didn't know what it meant and didn't want to continue asking, so he quickly sent someone to carry Liu Hu to the private room on the second floor. He waited until there was no one around before he asked.
"Boss, why are you like this? If you run away, you have to take me with you. Without you, I have no place to cook." Lao Jin said as he helped Liu Hu adjust his position.
Lao Jin is a man who doesn't care about worldly affairs and is not interested in anything except cooking. As a result, he doesn't care about the affairs of the world or the court. As for the salary, he doesn't want it and just focuses on his own business.
If it were someone else, they would have heard about such a big thing a long time ago, but Lao Jin knew nothing.
"Hehe, let's not talk about this for now. That girl saved me, and I promised to give her a reward of one thousand taels. How much money do you have here?" Since she has already sent him back safely, he has to give her the money no matter what.
Lao Jin was a little hesitant. He didn't know how much money was on the account . Seeing Lao Jin's embarrassment, Liu Hu rolled his eyes and said, "In that case, there is no need to give her the money?"
"What? Boss, are you going to be ungrateful?" Lao Jin was straightforward and spoke out his thoughts as soon as he opened his mouth.
Liu Hu said helplessly: "One thousand taels of silver? Is it worth my effort? I mean you should serve all the delicious food and drinks, and also send the treasure of the town."
"Ah? Giving the ginseng worth three thousand taels to that little girl?" Lao Jin was a little reluctant. He begged for a long time before Ah Si stole it from the palace for him.
Liu Hu smiled and said, "Give it to her. Wait for Ah Si to come over and ask him to get you three more."
After hearing this, Lao Jin smiled and agreed with a smile, but in his heart he felt sorry for the girl. She saved someone with good intentions, but ended up starving herself.
Liu Hu thought for a moment and continued, "Can you contact the Qingyi Guards? Let Luo Fanchen come to see me."
