Chapter one hundred and eighteenth confidant
Chen Shou began to pace the room, holding his chest with his left hand and pinching his chin with his right hand, completely ignoring the passage of time...
First of all, Chen Shou was completely sure Qiuguo was a normal person. Although she was a little cold, she would occasionally laugh under his influence. She even talked to the birds on the tree when there was no one. The possibility of such a person being self-abuse is really small.
Then, Chen Shou also ruled out that Qiu Guo was practicing some evil technique, because those scars were simple scars that would hinder the flow of blood but not stop the demonic power. The most important thing is that Qiu Guo was obviously only in the Qi Refining Period, and there was no change at all in the past six months.
It’s not self-abuse, nor is it practicing evil skills, and then it’s a possibility that Chen Shou is completely unwilling to accept: those scars are beaten every time she returns home!
At least 70% of the cases may be like this! Her faint bitterness that cannot be hidden was explained by this.
In the past six months, she actually has to be whipped every three days? Looking at the whip marks, she just wants her life! If she hadn't been in the Qi Refining Stage and had a certain amount of recovery, she would have died long ago, right?
At that moment, Chen Shou suddenly had the urge to hit the wall, because in the past six months, when Qiuguo lived a life of being beaten every three days, what was he doing? He was still unaware of anything, enjoying the fruits of Qiuguo's labor, thinking that it was quite warm!
Chen Shou became popular all of a sudden. He was both blamed himself and hated the culprit behind it!
Chen Shou clenched his fists, and it was already creaking, and he squeezed from his mouth word by word: "You better give me a reason to not kill you!"
Now he is afraid that Qiu Guo's injury is caused by a very special and strange situation, and it is even inevitable. For example, if she suffers from hidden diseases, she must rely on whipping to divert her pain regularly, so that his anger will become very funny.
Therefore, his top priority is to confirm the real cause of Qiuguo's whip and then make a decision.
That night, Chen Shou couldn't sleep at all, so he simply stopped sleeping and meditated on the bed until dawn.
I saw Qiuguo again the next morning. He tried a lot to hide his emotions, but Qiuguo still discovered something was wrong.
"Mr. Chen, are you uncomfortable?" Qiuguo asked with concern while eating.
After living together for more than half a year, Qiuguo has almost regarded him as a family member. In special circumstances, he will show concern for him, just like now.
Chen Shou really wanted to ask Qiuguo directly, but with Qiuguo's temperament, there would probably be no good results.
After trying hard to squeeze out a smile, Chen Shou shook his head and said, "It's okay, maybe I'm too tired."
"Then I'll make soup at noon and then send it to Lord Chen." Qiuguo was still doing her duty.
"No, thank you. By the way, you have to go home tonight, right?"
As soon as he heard the word "Go home", Qiu Guo's concern for Chen Shou immediately disappeared, and nodded and said calmly: "Yes."
"Maybe I can come back a little early tonight. Can you wait for me to come back before leaving? I can send you."
Qiuguo's face showed a hint of panic, but she immediately hid it and said quickly: "No. I will cook the food and heat it up for you. You can eat it when you come back. I'll clean up the dishes when I come back."
Qiuguo has always been a very steady girl. At this time, the reaction fell into Chen Shou's eyes, which made Chen Shou even more affirm his speculation.
"Okay, you can help me prepare the meal and go back early, don't wait for me."
"Um."
After breakfast, Chen Shou frowned as soon as he left the door, because he guessed that 80% of the time he would have to be busy until late tonight, but he didn't even know where Qiu Guo's home was. If he didn't follow her, how could he touch the house and find out the matter?
On one hand, he is in business and he will definitely not be able to escape. The position of Xuanwuwei is the foundation of all the benefits he has received at present, even including living under the same roof as Qiuguo; on the other hand, there is the safety of Qiuguo, a relative. Otherwise, he would be considered a man if he checked and solved as quickly as possible?
At this time, Chen Shou wanted to know the clone technique, one on the one hand and the other on the other to check Qiuguo, but that kind of high-level magical power could not be mastered by him, a small Jindan cultivator...
As he flew, Chen Shou couldn't help but get upset. In this Xuandu Zi Mansion, there was no one who had a confidant. He did big things by himself and had to do small things by himself. But he was fine. Since he was admitted in an extraordinary way, he had no three-year buffer period at all. After he arrived, he had been improving his strength. So far, he didn't even have a confidant subordinate! If so, like the situation in front of him, at least he could share some of his burdens, right?
"Damn it, until now, it's even worse than some assessors!" Chen Shou couldn't help complaining.
He complained so much, and after being a training officer for more than a month, he had a general understanding of the situation of those examiners. Although those guys had to pass the assessment before they could become lieutenants, there were many young masters and young masters in the big lords. These people simply came with servants and servants, and they were served by others in everything they did!
"Okay, I can't continue to work alone anymore. I'd better write a letter and ask the elder to send someone to me." Chen Shou quickly became scheming and muttered in a low voice.
However, although there are some people in the Gou Chen tribe in Aoshan, it will take at least three months to go back and forth. The distance cannot quench the near thirst. His current problem can only be solved by one person...
etc!
Really a helper?
Even if it was two days ago, Chen Shou might not be able to find someone, but just since yesterday, there have been several potential candidates!
It was exactly the eight people who came yesterday afternoon!
They were the people of the city who were temporarily recruited, and they had not even stepped into the threshold of the Xuandu Purple Mansion, so naturally there was no faction. And they were eager to find a job in the Xuandu Purple Mansion. Even those who were just running errands and doing hard work were all grateful and worried that they had no way out! At this time, if he threw an olive branch to them, they would not be able to swear to be loyal to them?
That's no difference from stuffing a steamed bun into a beggar who is about to starve and then saying, "Fuck with me, I'll introduce you to a job, so you can have no worries about food and clothing in the future." Isn't it?
Of course, the other party may also be an ungrateful wolf, but aren’t there eight people? Chen Shou still has to choose! At present, he can actually find the one with the best character from those eight people.
Thinking of this, Chen Shou finally became a little excited. He felt that he had grasped the psychology of the eight young people. They were all eager for an opportunity, and he had such an opportunity in his hands! As a lieutenant, he had the power to recruit subordinates!
Every time you get one more day, autumn fruit will suffer more than one day, so the faster you will find your subordinates, the better, and then you can do it without delaying it!
During the day that day, in addition to working normally, Chen Shou also kept paying attention to the eight people. Since Lu Luo was the only one around him, Lu Luo was naturally the one he observed the most.
He asked casually, and then put the boy's background in a close way. This year, his parents opened a small shop in the city, both of which were incarnations of monsters called Tugui Demon who were good at earth escape. Although he was only seventeen years old, Lu Luo was already in the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage, and he was a little talent in his practice. In addition to his parents, there was also a little girl in the family, who was ten years old this year, and it was the time of innocence.
Lu Luo has a beautiful face and learns very quickly when working. He is very respectful to Chen Shou in his words and deeds, which is really popular. The most rare thing is that he has always been neither humble nor arrogant when dealing with the people in the city and is extremely patient.
Of course, everyone will try to perform better at this time. What Chen Shou may not be their nature, but a small detail in the afternoon made Chen Shou completely recognize Lu Luo.
That detail was really a "detail". At that time, Chen Shou and Lu Luo were in the house. Chen Shou was facing the account book with his back to Lu Luo, at least on the surface he didn't have time to look at Lu Luo.
Lu Luo held a roll of bamboo mat and piled up the debris by the wall, but the mat accidentally rolled down. Fortunately, Lu Luo was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and used his body to squeeze the half-displayed mat on the pile of debris.
Next, Lu Luo just put the mat on the roll and put it back carefully, but since the mat was half-unfolded, Lu Luo could naturally see the situation on the mat. Perhaps he glanced unconsciously, but he saw a bamboo mat on the bamboo mat, and divided a few fine thorns. The bamboo mat was already very thin, and the thorns were naturally thinner, almost soft, and they couldn't hurt anyone at all, but Lu Luo still reached out to carefully remove it. This was not the end, Lu Luo simply unfolded the mat completely, carefully examined it before putting it back, and finally smiled with satisfaction.
It was this smile that made Chen Shou give up his plan to find someone else and decided to choose Lu Luo. This young man is really a simple person and has kind thoughts. It is hard to say what he will do when he grows up, but Chen Shou is completely confident to take the young man in a good direction.
However, what I was about to hand over to this young man was not simple, but was a little dark...
