Chapter 4 Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven
In the inn, Chu Xiu rubbed his face at the bronze mirror. He just now killed someone with a neat look. He was extremely cruel, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
Chu Xiu in his previous life watched the underground black fist and murder game in order to find excitement, but he himself did not kill anyone himself.
My performance just now is mostly due to the memory of this life.
When he was in the Chu family before, Chu Xiu was indeed very cowardly, but in places like Nanshan mining area, facing various criminals and murderers, Chu Xiu's original personality would be affected by the environment, from cowardice to violent and crazy. In his memory, he seemed to have killed several disobedient criminals in Nanshan mining area before.
Now Chu Xiu vaguely understood why in the original world his body turned from a cowardly son of a family to the final villain of the third version. This experience in the Nanshan Mining Area had a great impact on Chu Xiu.
Maybe even the Chu family itself could not have imagined that it was because of their family struggle that a great devil who was confused and confused the world was created.
After nightfall, Chu Xiu suddenly called Gao Bei, a servant under his command.
Gao Bei is responsible for managing the more than ten small leaders of his subordinates. Of course, although he is called the small leader, he is actually a servant and has a very low status within the Chu family, otherwise he would not have been sent to follow Chu Xiu.
In Chu Xiu's memory, Gao Bei was mediocre in his ability. He came to the Chu family in his teens and was always a chore. Although he didn't flatter, he was diligent in his performance. It took almost ten years to teach some superficial martial arts and reach the realm of body tempering. He practiced with the caravan several times, but he was also unknown in the Chu family.
A year ago, Chu Xiu was framed by his third brother and made a big mistake and was demoted to the Nanshan mining area. However, he was the second son of the Chu family. Even if he was not valued, he would at least prepare some reliable servants for him. Therefore, Gao Bei, who has been diligent in his work, was thrown to Chu Xiu.
However, he is honest and has no complaints. He has been by Chu Xiu for the past year and is no different from being with the Chu family.
"Young Master, are you looking for me?"
Gao Bei walked in carefully and looked at Chu Xiu. There was a hint of fear in his eyes. Obviously, things during the day had brought him a great impact.
Chu Xiu looked at Gao Bei and said lightly: "Gao Bei, you have been in my Chu family for more than ten years and have worked diligently, but in the end, he is still a servant. He has two taels of silver every month, which is only higher than the one who does odd jobs and sweeps the floor.
Those who entered the Chu family with you were either transferred to the caravan, or became the shopkeepers of various stores, or even became the managers of the Chu family. Do you feel unwilling to accept it?"
Gao Bei pursed his lips. He was not really stupid. He saw that his companions who came into the Chu family with him were farther away than him. Because he was the stupidest, he could not flatter and offend others, so he was always at the bottom. Of course, he felt uncomfortable.
However, Gao Bei's only advantage is that he knows himself. He smiled bitterly at Chu Xiu and said, "Young Master, I, Gao Bei, are stupid and stupid. The Chu family has not driven me out for so many years. I have also made me go from a servant who sweeps the floor and does odd jobs to a guard serving the second young master. The villain is already content."
Chu Xiu looked straight into Gao Bei's eyes and said, "No, you are not satisfied. Even if you are a native dog, you have fed him a year of flesh, it is unwilling to eat leftovers and bibimbap again. Dogs are like this, let alone people. People will never be satisfied."
Chu Xiu's eyes seemed to be able to see his heart through his eyes, which made Gao Bei take a step back and move his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
After retracting his gaze, Chu Xiu said slowly: "You know what my status is in the Chu family. If you were sent to me, then we will lose both of them and prosper together."
Gao Bei hurriedly said, "The villain understands."
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "No, you don't understand, life and death have fate, wealth and honor are in heaven. Everything depends on yourself to grab and fight for it yourself.
Some of the servants who entered the Chu family with you became shopkeepers, some became managers, but more died in the caravans and the struggle between my Chu family and other families."
Speaking of this, Chu Xiu's tone became deeper and said: "The future, wealth, these are all things that require life to fight. In the past, you didn't even have the chance to fight your life!
Now I will give you a chance to go to Shangmiao Mountain outside Yuanbao Town, find the bandit leader there, and bring me a word. As a result, one hundred taels of silver will belong to you, and you will be my confidant in the future."
As he said that, Chu Xiu directly put the 100 taels of silver notes on the table and said lightly: "According to your monthly money in the Chu family, even if you don't eat or drink, how many taels of silver can you save a year?
I still remember that both your parents died, but there was a young brother who had entrusted him to my uncle's house. Now it's time to become an adult? I want to ask for a wife in Tongzhou Prefecture, the price is not low."
A trace of struggle flashed across Gao Bei's face. Shangmeng Mountain outside Yuanbao Town is not a good place. It is barren mountains and has no roads, but it is full of bandits. They are all the ones who kill people if they are disagreeing. Now the second young master actually wants to find them by himself?
However, the price offered by Chu Xiu in front of him was beyond his control.
He is an honest person, but because of his honesty, he will never see any opportunity or hope to make a comeback in his life.
Now Chu Xiu put an opportunity in front of him. Even if he was in danger of losing his life, Gao Bei was reluctant to give up.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and took the one hundred taels of silver in his hand.
If it were Chu Xiu in the past, Gao Bei would not agree, but today he saw Chu Xiu's cruel side, but he was shocked and respectful in his heart and did not dare not refuse to agree.
Chu Xiu nodded with satisfaction. He called Gao Bei over, gave him a few instructions, and asked him to set off overnight.
Looking at Gao Bei's departure, a trace of splendor flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes. He asked Gao Bei to leave with the money, and he was not afraid that Gao Bei would just leave.
He could afford to lose 100 taels of silver. After all, he was the second son of the Chu family and the manager of the Nanshan Mining Area. The monthly money the Chu family gave him was hundreds of taels every month.
Also, he was sure that Gao Bei didn't dare.
He also has a younger brother in Tongzhou Prefecture. He was raised by him since childhood, and even like his own son. If he dared to escape, the Chu family would not be a good man and a trustworthy woman. The saying that the disaster would not be as good as his family would be a joke.
The next morning, when Chu Xiu and others set off, Yue'er didn't see Gao Bei. She couldn't help but wonder: "Young Master, where is Gao Bei?"
Chu Xiu casually said: "Gao Bei returns to Tongzhou Prefecture first and prepare to tell the mansion that we are about to arrive."
Yue'er didn't doubt it. After all, Chu Xiu was also the second son of the Chu family. Before returning to the family, he really had to inform him of the location in advance.
However, Yue'er sneered in her heart. Whether you can return to Tongzhou Prefecture smoothly this time is an unknown!
The carriage was walking hard on the small road of Shangmeng Mountain. Compared with the main road, Shangmeng Mountain was indeed much closer, which saved many days.
However, bandits are emerging here, and some caravans with powerful power to protect them are nothing more than. When encountering single-man businessmen or weaker caravans, those bandits usually kill and rob, and their methods are extremely cruel.
In the carriage, maybe knowing that things were about to begin, Yue'er's face had a look of unnatural expression.
At this time, Chu Xiu, who had been closing his eyes and resting, suddenly opened his eyes and scared Yue'er.
"Yue'er, do you think we will meet bandits?" Chu Xiu asked calmly.
Yue'er forced a smile: "Young Master, don't talk about these unlucky things, and even if you meet a bandit, they will definitely not dare to touch your son. After all, you are from the Chu family."
At this time, a smile suddenly appeared on Chu Xiu's face and said, "It's a blessing, not a disaster, it's a disaster. What should come will always come. Besides, sometimes natural disasters are not scary, but man-made disasters are terrifying."
