"You bastard, you still know how to sleep at this time!"
Wow——, seeing that Zhao Hu was still yawning and not waking up, the second master directly grabbed the tea cup on the table and poured it down.
A cup of herbal tea immediately made Zhao Hu shiver and wake up a lot. He hurriedly wiped the water stains on his face and came closer with a smile, "Master, what are your orders?"
Shan Baozi then put down his tea cup with satisfaction, told him what the few people had discussed, and finally asked him what he should do.
Zhao Hu's heart skipped a beat and he felt his throat was a little dry.
This matter is really too big. It should have been kept absolutely confidential. Normally, only a few heads of family would know about it. Now that I know about it, this is not a good sign.
Zhao Hu secretly glanced at the leaders around him and found that they were all staring at him. He knew that if he couldn't get anything useful today, he might lose his life here.
Since you let yourself know about this matter, it means that you hope that you can come up with useful strategies. In this way, you are tied to their chariot, and you cannot escape even if you want to.
But if they can't come up with any useful strategies, then they have no value in living. In order to keep the secret, they will definitely kill them mercilessly.
Although Zhao Hu has been a bit arrogant recently, Zhao Hu knows very well whose prestige he relies on. If there are no bosses, then he will be worse than himself. Who will take him seriously?
Although scheming against the master is also a very dangerous thing, Zhao Hu felt that it was better to get through the crisis at hand first, so he immediately started thinking about bad ideas.
It has to be said that this kid is born with a bad temper. He came up with an idea in a blink of an eye and hurriedly explained his plan.
After hearing this, several people clapped their hands and immediately agreed to his plan.
When the Seventh Master sent Zhao Hu to the door, he patted Zhao Hu on the shoulder meaningfully, "Huzi, it will be good for you to follow us well, and your mother and sister in the village below will not suffer. I will
Send someone down the mountain to pick them up to enjoy the blessings."
Zhao Hu's heart trembled suddenly. He did not expect that several family leaders had long known about the fact that he secretly brought his mother and sister from the pass to the small village at the foot of the mountain. But now this has become a threat to his weakness.
Zhao Hu lost his father when he was young, and it was his mother who worked hard to raise him, and his sister has a particularly good relationship with him. Now she is seventeen years old, and she is like a flower.
Zhao Hu, who was originally thinking of fleeing the village if the opportunity came up, was completely discouraged. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master Seven, I promise to use 100% of my strength to come up with ideas."
"That's right. We are a family, a family that loves each other, hahahaha." Master Qi, who had already made up his mind to come down to find Zhao Hu's girl to exchange "feelings", laughed and turned around and walked back.
.
Standing at the door and looking back at the retreating figure, Zhao Hu couldn't help but secretly cursed in his heart, "You bastard, why didn't I fall and kill you?"
Now he has no choice but to do his best to help the scheming boss Poinsettia, otherwise he will be in trouble first.
"Master, I'm sorry. As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist. I can only think about myself first." While thinking to himself, Zhao Hu stopped, then turned around and walked back towards the door of the house.
He came up with this plan, and now he feels that he has some ideas that might make the plan more perfect.
While Shan Baozi was waiting for several leaders to conspire, Poinsettia returned to her residence.
This residence was where she lived when she was the head of the family, and it has never changed. Although she got married, no one wanted to occupy it.
The two maids had already laid out all the gifts they had brought, and put away all the bedding that had been placed there, and put on the new bedding.
"Miss, are you back?" Seeing Poinsettia coming in from the outside, the two maids immediately greeted her, taking off her coat while one of them brought a copper basin of hot water to her.
Please wash your feet, this is the boiling water just brought from the kitchen."
Poinsettia sat on the chair, then took off her shoes and socks, soaked her feet in the hot water, and let out a sigh of relief while feeling the slightly hot water temperature.
With her eyes closed, Poinsettia's mind could not be idle. She was thinking about what happened in the hall during the day, and scenes flashed through her mind.
Why do they look a little unnatural? And Lao Jiu and the others are missing, or is the back figure I saw on the road actually Lao Xu...
One question after another came to her mind, making her suddenly confused.
The last time she came here, Lao Jiupo Tianlang seemed to have something unspeakable and hesitantly wanted to say it, but then she didn't say it because she was pressed for time and didn't have time to ask. But after going back, she felt uneasy no matter how much she thought about it.
So I came to Siping Village again.
But this time, as soon as she went up the mountain, she encountered strange things one after another, which made her doubts even deeper.
He lifted his feet out of the copper basin, wiped them quickly with poinsettia, put on his shoes and socks, and stood up.
"Miss, what are you doing?" Two maids were sitting nearby. When they saw Poinsettia reaching out to grab the two guns on the table, they ran over and asked.
Inserting both guns into her waist, Poinsettia reached for her coat and said casually, "I can't sleep, let's go for a walk." After that, she walked out.
The two maids did not dare to neglect and hurriedly chased after him.
The night in the village seemed very quiet, with a full moon hanging high in the sky, and the watery night falling from above, casting mottled shadows on the buildings on the ground.
The three people were walking on the mountain road, and there was silence all around. Only the soles of their shoes made a soft rustling sound on the ground.
Poinsettia walked along the mountain road toward the back mountain. She passed through a moon gate, walked out of the front yard along the path, and came to the backyard.
The cottage is divided into two courtyards, front and rear. The front courtyard is the hall and where people live, while the backyard is the kitchen and a place for storing sundries, with only some handymen living there.
Poinsettia planned to go to the back mountain to relax. It was easier to go to the back mountain through a corner door in the backyard. She had often walked this way in the past.
Just as we were about to reach the corner door, suddenly there was a violent coughing sound from a row of side rooms on the left, as if someone was not asleep yet.
Poinsettia's footsteps stopped instantly. She turned her head and looked at the row of side rooms, and found that one of them had a light on, and the coughing sound came from there.
"Miss, what's wrong?" The two maids asked a little strangely when they saw Poinsettia stopped.
Poinsettia raised her hand to stop what they were saying, and then listened carefully.
The coughing started again, this time it seemed much more severe than last time.
It's Lao Xu, it must be him!
Poinsettia instantly determined the identity of the coughing person. She turned around and walked quickly towards the wing.
When she came to the door of the wing, Poinsettia didn't knock on the door, she just stretched out her hand and pushed the door open.
In the room, a skinny old man sat on the ground. There was a broken bowl in front of him, which contained vegetable soup. There was half a dry and hard steamed bun on the ground next to him. At this time, his face was red and his neck was thick from coughing.
"Old Xu!"
Poinsettia's voice trembled. The old man in front of her was one of the old team members who followed her to conquer the world of Siping Village. Old Xu, the famous sharpshooter in the Guandong Mountains.
After Poinsettia killed someone, the first person she met when she fled into the mountains was Lao Xu, who was kidnapped by his people.
I originally thought I was finished this time, but I didn't expect that after hearing her experience, Lao Xu actually let her go, then took her in, and in the end even handed over the entire village to her.
According to Lao Xu, he is getting old and no longer wants to live the life of fighting and killing. He wants to spend the rest of his life like an ordinary person.
Later, as Poinsettia became more and more powerful, Lao Xu and a bunch of older guys retired and arranged to live in Siping Village for retirement, and lived a good life.
When Poinsettia was about to get married, she repeatedly told her to take good care of these old people. She didn't expect that the old Xu she saw today was so depressed, which made her nose feel a little sore.
Lao Xu was coughing vigorously when he suddenly heard someone calling his name, and it was so familiar. He struggled to raise his head and looked towards the door. He saw Poinsettia standing at the door of the house and was stunned.
"Girl, you're here, I never imagined it." After being stunned for a moment, Lao Xu smiled like a child, "Are you okay? They didn't bully you over there, right?"
Poinsettia nodded, holding back her tears, and hurriedly came to the old man, reaching out to help Lao Xu, who was about to struggle to get up, "I'm fine, really fine."
Two maids ran forward, helped Lao Xu up, and then helped him to sit down. Only then did they realize that there was no bed in the room, and the chair was missing. There was only a broken straw mat on the ground, and it was only half of it.
block, with several holes in it.
Poinsettia's eyes fell on the old man's hands and found that there seemed to be something wrong with his hands. Although they were thin, they were very flexible, but now they can only stoop and cannot straighten.
Brows suddenly raised, Poinsettia asked in a deep voice, "Old Xu, what's wrong with your hands?"
Seeing that Poinsettia saw his hands, Lao Xu subconsciously hid his hands behind his back and said, "It's okay, girl. I accidentally smashed it while working some time ago. It will be fine in two days."
"No, let me take a look." Poinsettia couldn't help but grabbed his hand and examined it carefully.
At this sight, her anger suddenly rose.
Lao Xu's hands were not broken by his own work at all. They must have been broken by someone, because some of the bones were deformed and could never be restored.
Poinsettia's eyes flashed with fierceness, "Old Xu, tell me who did it."
