Zhang Bao quickly went to the chair aside and sat down.
Then I saw Lao He walking in with two middle-aged men.
One of them.
It was Li Daniu who had previously taken the initiative to say that he wanted to go into the mountains.
Another person was also in the yard at the time and had some impressions.
"Master, according to your instructions, I found these two people. If there are only one or two wolves in the mountain, we won't need so many people.
If you go too much, it will become a burden."
Lao He led the two of them to Zhang Bao.
"Master!"
"Master!"
The two of them saluted Zhang Bao.
That Li Daniu was really serious. He knelt down and kowtowed directly to Zhang Bao.
But the other man, with his right arm across his chest, bowed to Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao was a little surprised.
in the impression.
There doesn't seem to be any memory of this either.
But his face remained calm and he asked the two of them to sit down.
When Zhang Bao went to search the village before.
I found a lot of jujube wood stools and brought them all back.
The two of them sat in front of Zhang Bao with some restraint.
"Master, you were not familiar with them before. This man's name is Li Daniu. He has been with our Zhang family for many years and is now settled in the village."
"I know how to be a carpenter, and I helped with a lot of work at home before."
Lao He pointed at Li Daniu and said to Zhang Bao.
He knew that Zhang Bao was not familiar with these tenants, so he introduced them to Zhang Bao in detail.
"This is Hu Dugu, a man who escaped from Liaozhou."
“Although I haven’t been here long, I am honest and willing to contribute.”
"I worked as a blacksmith in Liaozhou before, and I have a lot of strength."
Lao He pointed to another person on the side.
This time, since Zhang Bao had already said to be more cautious, Lao He only chose these two people.
Of these two people, one is good at carpentry and the other is good at blacksmithing. They were the two of them who did the previous repairs of farm tools and the like.
Lao He had more contact.
It can be regarded as knowing the basics.
Secondly.
Both of them had families with them, they were not alone.
Naturally, it is easier to control than those people.
"People from Liaozhou?"
"I seem to have some impression that you came back with my father back then, and I heard that you saved a cart of grain."
"Why are you here?"
Zhang Bao recalled his impressions and was somewhat interested in Hu Dugu.
The state where Zhang Bao and his friends are currently located is called Hezhou, so named because there are many rivers in the state.
To the north of Hezhou is Liaozhou.
Liaozhou is adjacent to the grassland and is often invaded by nomadic foreign tribes.
There are more wars than in Hezhou, and there are soldiers stationed all year round.
"Yes, Master!"
"The nomadic tribes on the grassland are about to invade, but the Zhou Mu and the prince are recruiting their own troops. I know how to blacksmith. People on both sides are looking for blacksmiths. If they don't go, they will kill the whole family."
"He took his people and fled here."
Hu Dugu said respectfully to Zhang Bao.
"His mother-in-law is from Sanhe County."
Lao He added on the side.
"Um."
Zhang Bao nodded after hearing this.
"If you want to survive the next three or four months, you have to look to the mountains behind."
"But it won't work if there are wolves, we have to clear the place first."
"You all go back and get ready, and we will go into the mountains together early tomorrow morning."
Zhang Bao said to the two of them.
"Yes, Master!"
The two of them answered very simply.
There wasn't much hesitation.
Although Zhang Bao had many doubts in his heart, it was hard to ask too many questions at this time.
Asking too many questions is not good.
From the looks of it, Lao He still knows a lot.
Just ask Lao He when the time comes.
After listening to Zhang Bao's words.
The two got up and left.
"Master, I hear this, are you planning to go into the mountains tomorrow?"
"It's dangerous in the mountains, I just need to take the two of them there."
Lao He asked from the side.
Zhang Bao shook his head.
Will you be able to successfully spend the period before spring?
Zhang Bao is still a little unsure. He needs to go to the mountain to see for himself.
Regardless of whether the remaining wolves can be found.
At least I can know the situation inside the mountain, so I can make arrangements later.
Lao He looked at Zhang Bao.
There was no further obstruction.
The current young master seems to be very independent.
Naturally, Lao He would not interfere too much.
I originally thought that it was possessed by some kind of fox great fairy, but just now, the young master still remembered when Hu Du came here in ancient times.
That won't be the case.
Lao He was somewhat relieved.
Turning around to look at Su Xiaoyue who was going in and out.
"Master, I heard from the young madam that we are going to move to the courtyard in front?"
"But this old house..."
Lao He wanted to stop him, but he was afraid that he would say too much and make Zhang Bao unhappy.
"Just stay here."
"Is anyone coming to stay?"
"Can Lao Zhai be able to run away on his own?"
Zhang Bao asked Lao He.
"Of course not!"
Lao He shook his head decisively.
Can the old house still run longer?
The young master always likes to joke...
"That courtyard is a little dilapidated, but it's still strong. After this period of war and chaos, it won't be too late to come back."
"The old house is too conspicuous."
Zhang Bao said calmly, stood up and helped Su Xiaoyue move various things.
Lao He raised his head and looked at this courtyard with three entrances and three exits, steep ridges, cornices, masonry, stone and wood carvings.
He slapped his head in frustration.
He also followed up and carried it.
…
Worked until dark.
Only then did Su Xiaoyue hide all kinds of things again.
And Lao He has almost taken care of the rats in the yard.
The three of them sat down to eat.
The time before Lao He.
I don't want to stay, for fear that one more mouth will consume a lot of food.
But after seeing the elm bark cakes, wolf meat pieces and a large bag of millet rice that Zhang Bao and Su Xiaoyue had accumulated.
His eyes were as wide as bells.
The psychological pressure left behind has been reduced a lot.
Dinner has been a feast of gluttony.
Each person gets a large piece of elm bark cake, a piece of soaked wolf meat and a large bowl of porridge.
Lao He swallowed hard when he saw it.
"Master, even if we have a surplus of food at home, we still have to save some food during this period of disaster."
Lao He reminded somewhat helplessly.
"You were seriously injured, and I was also injured. Xiaoyue herself is malnourished."
"How can I recover when I'm full without eating?"
"If you don't recover, how can you respond?"
"You don't want to eat wolf meat?"
"Come on, come on, Xiaoyue, let's break up."
Zhang Bao said that he was going to pick up the meat.
Lao He subconsciously held the bowl and dodged.
But I immediately realized something was wrong.
Of all these things, which one was not brought back by Zhang Bao?
I couldn't help but blush.
But I am very touched by this feeling of intimacy.
How could the previous young master be like this?
Although Lao He himself is the housekeeper of the Zhang family, he has a life-long friendship with Zhang Bao's father.
Zhang Bao's father never looked down upon him.
Zhang Bao always asked him to call him Uncle He.
Therefore, Lao He never regarded Zhang Baozhen as a little master, completely his junior, otherwise he would not have scolded Zhang Bao desperately before.
In Lao He's view.
The master had no heirs in his life, but he finally got a baby at a young age.
Although it is a bit abnormal, it is still the blood of the Zhang family.
Naturally, we can protect it if we can.
Now if it could continue like this, it would really be an eye-opener.
