Chapter 58 I will find you

Hu Wanghai quickly laughed and said, "Mr. Gu, forgive me, I am also for the safety of the whole family. I know this is unkind and righteous, but there is no way... Mr., I am very grateful for my hard work for our whole family. I must express my feelings. - Come! Come quickly and get the money you always have! There is a bag of rice! Hurry up!"

The servants hurriedly went to prepare.

Hu Wanghai said to Zeng's head again: "The chief head of the head, there is another thing to discuss with you."

"Master Hu, please tell me!"

Hu Wanghai also looked at Gu Yezhou nervously before lowering his voice and said, "The bandit said, if you are Mr. Baogu, he will cause trouble for your escort agency. If that is the case, you will stay with me to take care of you, I am afraid that the bandits will vent their anger on me. So..."

Zeng Pao's heart sank. Hu Wanghai was a big customer and could not be lost. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Please rest assured about this matter. I will arrange it after I go back..."

"Don't wait to go back!" Gu Yezhou interrupted, "I will resign from Chief Zeng now. If I don't work in the escort agency, I will not implicate the escort agency and your family."

Zeng Piaotou's face suddenly became wider, and then he said with great guilt: "This matter is a must..."

"Needless to say, I'll go back to pack up and leave overnight!"

Zeng Lingmei's pretty face as a lotus flower was full of anxiousness, and she stomped her feet and called out: "Dad!"

Zeng Biao waved his hand and signaled her not to speak.

Hu Wanghai was relieved when he heard that Gu Yezhou was about to leave the escort agency. He was very satisfied with the Wenshun escort agency's performance this time, and he was reluctant to change the escort. Besides, he was the only one escort agency in the entire county town, and he could not find a suitable person to replace him. As long as Gu Yezhou left the escort agency, the bandits would naturally not come to cause trouble for themselves.

At this time, Hu Wanghai's housekeeper and servant came back, took a gold-patterned wooden pallet and delivered it to Gu Yezhou, with a thousand cents on it, which is Yi Guan, which was filled with money. Another servant was carrying a bag of rice on his back.

Hu Wanghai said: "This reward is not thankful for not thanking me, so please accept it with a smile."

Gu Yezhou did not refuse, took the purse, put it on his shoulder, and said, "I still have to go to the escort agency to get my luggage and come back to get the food, okay?"

"Okay! No problem! Wait a moment, I'll ask the servant to send it to you."

"Thank you!"

At this time, an escort from an escort agency ran in and reported that the bandits had withdrawn from outside the county town. The officers and soldiers had closed the city gates and began to send troops to defend the city. It must be that the county magistrate had just felt the crisis now.

After hearing a news, Hu Wanghai and his family felt at ease.

Zeng Maitou sent several other escorts to guard the Hu family, and then led the escorts back. At the door, Luocao and his family had almost put the rice on the ground in their own clothes. Seeing them coming, they quickly moved out of the way.

When Gu Yezhou walked past Luocao, he smiled: "Thank you! Luocao."

The dirty face finally showed a hint of relief, and she smiled shyly at Gu Yezhou.

When he returned to the door of the escort agency, Zeng Biao said to Gu Yezhou: "You don't have to be too anxious. You can live in the escort agency first. When you find your residence, it will not be too late to move slowly."

"No need! I have a place to live." After saying that, Gu Yezhou went straight back to his room.

Ning Sanmei had already fallen asleep. When she heard Gu Yezhou slap the door, she quickly got up. Gu Yezhou didn't say much, but just said that she had resigned and left immediately.

Ning Sanmei was very surprised and asked why repeatedly. Gu Yezhou smiled: "No need to ask, let's go, don't worry, I have the ability to support us both."

Ning Sanmei had no choice but to say oh, help pack up her luggage, and after packing it, they didn't have much stuff, so they packed it out. Gu Yezhou carried the bedding out and arrived at the gate, and saw Zeng PaoTou and Zeng Lingmei waiting there, looking at them one by one without saying a word.

Zeng Paota sighed, pointed to the half-pocket of rice placed on the ground, and said, "I won't say much if you don't want to. You have worked here for a month, and this is the reward for you. There are five dou of rice in it."

According to the prior agreement, during use, we will be responsible for food, accommodation and salary for another dou of rice. However, Zeng Pao gave Gu Yezhou five dou of rice to make up for his own debts.

Gu Yezhou bowed his fists and said, "Thank you!"

Zeng Paota patted his shoulder: "You have the ability and don't worry about not being able to find a job. If you are tight, just stammer. We have nothing else, but we still have some food. Don't be polite!"

Gu Yezhou nodded.

Zeng Duanqing looked at Ning Sanmei reluctantly, but Ning Sanmei was always looking at Gu Yezhou. Zeng Duanqing looked sad and said to Gu Yezhou: "I hope you can take good care of the third sister!"

Gu Yezhou glanced at him and said nothing.

Ning Sanmei approached Gu Yezhou and looked at him: "Sir, he has always taken good care of me."

"It's different now," Zeng Duanqing said to Ning Sanmei: "There are bandits to deal with him. It's dangerous for you to be with him. If you want, you can stay in our escort agency to do things. It's safe here..."

Hong Weiqiang and other corpses nodded and looked at Ning Sanmei eagerly.

"No need!" Ning Sanmei said decisively, "I am the maid of my husband, and I will follow him wherever I go."

Zeng Duanqing and others looked at each other, with nothing to say.

Zeng Lingmei walked over with her belt, her eyes were red, and she asked Gu Yezhou in a low voice: "Where do you live?"

Gu Yezhou smiled without answering, and walked out the door with the half bag of rice in one hand.

"Wait!" Zeng Lingmei chased after him, blocked her face, and bravely looked at his eyes with tears: "You hurt the mountain god to save me. You saved my life. The mountain god wants to kill you, and I will definitely help you! Don't worry..."

Gu Yezhou shook his head slightly: "It's really no need, I can deal with it myself. Your escort agency should not get into this muddy water!"

After saying that, he walked around her and took Ning Sanmei down the steps.

Zeng Lingmei twisted over sadly, looked at his back with resentment, and finally opened her crisp voice and said, "I will go find you!"

Gu Ye Zhoutou didn't look back and walked towards the darkness along the street that had recovered from peace.

He first arrived at Hu Wanghai's house. The servant with rice on his back was already waiting at the door, followed by rice on his back, and all the way to the simple courtyard where Gu Yezhou originally lived.

Because the city had been in trouble, the whole yard had risen up. After talking for a while, seeing that there was no movement, they were ready to go back and continue to sleep. At this time, they heard the sound of Gu Yezhou and the others calling.

Zeng Feisong, who was selling medicine, carried a single knife to open the door. When he saw it was Gu Yezhou, he was very surprised: "Oh, it's you? Gu's escort, why are you here? He is still carrying such objects. Are you..."

"I quit and want to move back. I don't know if there is no empty house yet?"

"Yes! The room you used to live in was still empty. I'll go and tell the landlord and invite him! - Why didn't you do it anymore? I've always envied you for having such a good opportunity." Zeng Feisong muttered and ran to call the landlord, a fat woman named Niu. He held a lantern in his hand and looked at them with his eyes slanted. His words were still as cold as before: "Pay the rent first and then live!"

Gu Yezhou immediately took out the copper coins he had with him and counted ninety cents for her.

The landlord Niu took it and snorted: "It's dark, do you want a lantern?"

"Thank you!" Gu Yezhou hurriedly took the lantern from the landlord."

"Give me back tomorrow morning!" Landlord Niu turned around and went back to the house, saying as he walked, "I want straw, I will carry it myself, don't expect me to deliver it to you!"

Ning Sanmei hurriedly agreed.

Gu Yezhou pushed the door and entered the room he had lived in with a lantern. It was still empty and the straw on the ground was gone. He asked the servant to put a bag of rice on the ground and gave him a reward of two cents. The servant happily thanked him. Ning Sanmei began to clean up the house.

At this time, Zeng Feixia, who had already lying down, heard that they had come back, got up and came out quickly, and asked in surprise why she didn't do the escort. Zeng Feisong glared at her and said, "I asked for a long time, but he refused to say that there must be something hidden."

Zeng Feixia said: "No! I want to ask Zeng Piao Head!"

Gu Yezhou had not spoken yet and kept helping Ning Sanmei clean up.

Ning Sanmei quickly packed up and went out to carry straw.

Gu Yezhou sat on the stool and said to Zeng Feisong's brother and sister: "I don't want to do it, so I resigned. You don't need to ask, this matter is not about Zeng's head."

Zeng Feixia sat on the short stool in front of her, raised her pretty face and looked at him: "What will Mr. Gu do? Still keep setting up a stall to see a doctor?"

"What else can I do except this?" Gu Yezhou smiled bitterly.

"Actually, instead of sitting and waiting for the patient to come, you might as well go to the door!"

"What's the meaning?"

Zeng Feisong said: "My little sister means that you might as well be a bell doctor! That is, a traveling doctor."

"Yes!" Zeng Feixia pointed to the next door, "Although the doctor next door cannot make a lot of money, he can't starve to death, and he can eat white flour buns every now and then! Once, I smelled the aroma of meat from his house! Dr. Ling, it's hard to walk around the streets and alleys, and it's also eye-catching. However, he can make money. Many patients are sick, don't want to move, and have no money to go to the clinic, but the pain is so severe that they want to find some painkillers to eat. At this time, if you deliver it to your door, you still have a business, which is not better than you waiting for the rabbit?"

When Gu Yezhou heard this, he couldn't help but feel that what Zeng Feixia said was still very reasonable. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your reminder, I think you can try it. However, I have never been a bell doctor and don't understand the rules."
