Pirate Song

This time when he returned to Shaoxing, Gao Huaiyuan did not bring many people with him. Instead, he packed lightly and only took Liu Er, Li Tong, Huang Yan, and Zhou Hao with him on the road. This way, he would not be ostentatious while walking on the road, and he would not have to worry about returning home.

After Shaoxing, let Gao Jian see what happened. After all, he was still young and it would be hard for Gao Jian to explain to him if he took slaves without permission.

This group of five people, who had left Shaoxing more than a year ago, drove two mule carts, loaded some local specialties from Daye's hometown, and then hit the road towards Shaoxing.

This time Gao Huaiyuan chose to go back to Shaoxing by land. Although it was more comfortable to take a boat from the Yangtze River by water, it was more time-consuming. After arriving in Jiankang, he had to get off the boat and go back to Shaoxing by land. This would inevitably delay time and might not be good.

After they return to Shaoxing, it will be difficult after the New Year!

So in order to rush for time, Gao Huaiyuan arranged things here, and then ordered Xue Yan to send New Year's gifts to the county magistrate Liu and others, and then hurriedly set off on the road with Li Tong and others.

Originally, he didn't want Liu'er to follow him and suffer from the fatigue of driving and horses, but Liu'er refused to agree to anything. He was worried that Gao Huaiyuan would have no one to take care of him on the road, so he insisted on going back with Gao Huaiyuan, so Gao Huaiyuan just

He took her with him and let Li Tong, Huang Yan and Zhou Hao clearly see how he doted on her.

Going back this time was no better than the last time they came here. They had to return to Shaoxing Prefecture before the year before, so they lost interest in sightseeing and did not stop along the way. Basically, they even had lunch in the car and only went there at night.

After traveling once, I became familiar with the route, so it was a lot faster than the last time I came here.

Along the way, I still saw refugees in many places. Regarding this situation, Gao Huaiyuan was helpless and could only let it go. His current power in this world is still too small and too small to change so much.

man's destiny.

Because of the problem of refugees, the road was not peaceful, and they were harassed by thieves three or four times along the way. However, Gao Huaiyuan, Huang Yan, and Zhou Hao are no longer the children they were more than a year ago. They have grown up.

They are tall and strong, and their kung fu is also improving by leaps and bounds. After many experiences, Huang Yan and Zhou Hao are not only much better in kung fu, but also much more courageous.

These few times when he met the robbers cutting the path, Gao Huaiyuan almost didn't let Gao Huaiyuan take action. The two of them each had a big stick in their hands, and they beat the robbers crying for their fathers and mothers. If they ran slower, they would be beaten to a bloody head.

, if it’s serious, you’ll be beaten to the point of breaking your muscles and bones on the spot. You won’t die, but don’t even think about having a good time this year!

With Gao Huaiyuan and these three ruthless people around, they were not afraid of anything big happening. After just a few days, they arrived at the foot of Huangshan Mountain.

As in the past, they quickly passed Huangshan without making any stops, and continued to rush towards Shaoxing. In the afternoon, they passed the boundary of Huangshan, and there were fewer pedestrians on the road. There were some mountains and forests on both sides, and the road was also crowded.

It was difficult to move, so the car slowed down.

Gao Huaiyuan lamented that in future generations, let alone flying, trains and cars, we could reach Shaoxing in one day. But now, if we go quickly in one day, we can only travel one to two hundred miles, and we still have to meet the enemy.

What a delay!

After walking so many roads, they now have richer travel experience. Places like this are generally not peaceful and are exactly where bandits are. So after entering this section of the road, Gao Huaiyuan and others were careful.

Get up, put all the guys who can take advantage of you, and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

The sky paid off, and what you were afraid of came true. Two mule carts were on their way, when twenty or thirty thieves in different clothes suddenly jumped out from the side of the road, blocking their way.

This time Huang Yan and Zhou Hao were a little nervous. After all, when they met the thieves several times before, there were only seven or eight people at most, so they could deal with them more easily. But this time there were too many opponents.

To deal with them, I'm afraid the two of them alone won't be able to do it.

As soon as Li Tong saw this situation, he immediately followed Gao Huaiyuan's instructions and jumped into the car. He didn't know martial arts and he would only cause trouble in this kind of thing, so it was safer to hide. As for Liu'er, he pulled out

Sitting in the car with a dagger, although she was a little nervous, she had blind confidence in Gao Huaiyuan, feeling that as long as Gao Huaiyuan was around, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Gao Huaiyuan is a little tired of things like this. Fighting bandits was fun for the first time, but it becomes meaningless after more fights. How did the Song Dynasty become such a virtuous person? The last time he only met Xue Yan

They have encountered a thief so many times this time. Could it be that they are just too lucky?

As soon as the thieves came out, they immediately shouted at Gao Huaiyuan and others to get out of the car immediately, leave their belongings and get out, threatening them to do whatever they wanted to do otherwise.

Gao Huaiyuan saw that it was impossible to be kind. There were so many thieves that could not be beaten with just two dollars, so he was not polite and just beat them.

So he picked up a long stick and led Huang Yan and Zhou Hao to kill him. This frightened the gang of thieves. He thought to himself that these three young men were really courageous. They dared to fight with so many of them.

As soon as he started to take action, his murderous intention immediately arose, and he rushed forward with a howl.

Gao Huaiyuan was not polite. After he swung the stick, he showed a kind of courage that no one can match, and soon he knocked down several thieves. Huang Yan and Zhou Hao, with Gao Huaiyuan as their boss, were not soft-handed, and they continued one after another.

He put his opponents to the ground and beat them until the thieves screamed and no longer dared to look down on them.

The thief was a ruthless person. When he saw the idea, he became murderous and secretly asked several of his men to take out their bows and arrows to launch a sneak attack on Gao Huaiyuan and the other three.

At first, Gao Huaiyuan and the others did not expect that the other party had such advanced gadgets as bows and arrows. When they realized that the momentum was not right, it was already a little late. Gao Huaiyuan quickly stopped Huang Yan and the others, and raised a few bows and arrows to fly away.

, and was almost hit by a cold arrow, so he broke into a cold sweat!

He was also angered at this moment. If you rob, you will rob. If you have to kill someone, it will be unforgivable. No matter why you robbed, this alone violated Gao Huaiyuan's taboo. He would not come to this world by himself.

Easy, how can one die so easily in the hands of a bunch of thieves!

Now Gao Huaiyuan has the same understanding. To protect yourself in this world, sometimes being too soft-hearted is not enough. If you are not careful, you will be harmed by others. So when the other party shot them with bows and arrows, Gao Huaiyuan no longer held back.

He took out the three-edged flying knife from his waist and swung it with his bow left and right. The thieves were unlucky now. How could they avoid Gao Huaiyuan's flying knife? After a while, those guys with bows and arrows

, then wailed and fell to the ground. Everyone had been stabbed in the vitals, and even if they didn't die, they would probably be disabled.

Now the thieves knew that something bad was going on and they were in trouble, so they yelled, turned around and ran away, so they couldn't care less about their brothers.

Gao Huaiyuan hated this group of people who were ruthless and unjust. They deserved to go out and ignore the life and death of his brothers. So he picked up a pair of bows and arrows on the ground, raised his hand and fired an arrow. As a result, the bandit ran out.

Not far away, Gao Huaiyuan was stabbed in the back of the heart with an arrow. He fell to the ground and saw that he would not survive.

After dealing with this group of people, Gao Huaiyuan did not dare to delay here, and quickly went on the road to continue moving forward, so as to avoid killing people and causing lawsuits. He did not even stop at night, and crossed the boundary of Huangshan Mountain all the way, and then he felt relieved.

Once here, it's not far from Lin'an. As the capital of a country, it's relatively safer on the ground.

Counting the days, there were still four or five days before New Year's Eve. They basically didn't have much delay along the way. They were finally able to get back to Shaoxing Prefecture before the New Year, so when they got here, they were no longer anxious.

In this way, finally at noon on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, a group of five people entered the city of Shaoxing Prefecture, which they had left for more than a year. As soon as they entered the city, Huang Yan and Zhou Hao said goodbye and went home first, looking very surprised.

Eager, Gao Huaiyuan naturally knew their mood and did not delay them. He took out two packages filled with various gifts from the car and handed them to them for them to take home for their families.

The two of them were not polite to Gao Huaiyuan. After taking it, they said goodbye and walked home. Gao Huaiyuan drove himself and returned to Gaofu in the south of the city with Li Tong.

Standing in front of the Gao Mansion, looking at the Gao Family Courtyard that seemed to have remained unchanged, Gao Huaiyuan felt very complicated. Although this was his birthplace, he could not feel any cordiality at all. If it weren't for

If Gao Jian recruits him back, Gao Huaiyuan will really never come back here, and he doesn't want to come back here, because in the memory left to him here, there is no family affection at all, and everything is full of cold looks and discrimination, which makes him feel uncomfortable.

He felt uncomfortable thinking about it now.

But now that we have come here, it is impossible not to go in, and the gatekeeper of Gaofu has already seen the three of them, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and inform the master that our third young master is back!" Li Tong is no longer the doormat servant he used to be in Gao Mansion. He is now Gao Huaiyuan's trusted subordinate, and he also knows that,

Gao Huaiyuan is now very capable, and he no longer has to worry about being as annoyed as before in the Gao family.

But Li Tong felt good about himself, but the two guys at the door still didn't treat him as a dish. After seeing clearly that it was Gao Huaiyuan and the others, his heart was still the same as before, full of contempt, although Gao Huaiyuan was now taller.

People are tall and strong, but in their minds, Gao Huaiyuan is still the silly boy he was before, but he has just grown up.

So one of them walked out coldly, gave Gao Huaiyuan a salute indifferently, and said to them: "The master is still in the Yamen and has not come back, so you can go in through the side door!"

Li Tong was not happy when he heard this. In his eyes, Gao Huaiyuan could be said to be as big as the sky now, but this guy didn't even let them go through the front door, and asked Gao Huaiyuan to drive the car and go in through the side door. This was clearly a sign of neglect.

Gao Huaiyuan, how could he be willing to do this!

So Li Tong immediately stepped forward and scolded him: "You are so rude, open your eyes and look, this is the third young master of our family who is back, but you haven't quickly taken over the car and invited the young master in."

Rest, our third young master is very tired and has traveled for several days to get back here. Is there anyone like you at this moment?"

As a result, the guy was scolded by Li Tong, but he quit and sneered: "Who are you? You are quarreling with me here? Isn't it just that the third young master is back? What's the big deal? Stop showing off for me.

, if I tell you to go through the side door, you can go through the side door. I am guarding the door and have no time to wait for you! What do you think you are? How dare you scold me? See if I don’t slap your mouth!" This guy is actually serious.

If he dared to make a move, he would raise his hand and slap Li Tong in the mouth.

Gao Huaiyuan naturally knew why this guy was so arrogant. Needless to say, he still regarded himself as the stupid boy with no roots. In addition, he was not in Shaoxing during this period. In their eyes, he was exiled to Daye's old house, so

It is basically impossible to make them respect themselves!

But this guy is really annoying. Beating a dog depends on the owner. Li Tong is following his trusted subordinates now. If he doesn't stand up for him, then who will stand up for Li Tong!

So without waiting for the guy to take action, Gao Huaiyuan moved his hand first. After the big palm was swung away, there was only a popping sound. Then he looked at the arrogant guard boy and immediately spun around like a spinning top.

He formed a circle, staggered and rushed out, hit the wall next to him, rolled his eyes, fell to the ground, foamed at the mouth and fainted.

Gao Huaiyuan looked at the other guard boy coldly and said: "I tell you, no matter what, I am your third young master, and I will not tolerate you being arrogant in front of me. Take the car and rush to the yard quickly, and then

If you dare to neglect me, he will be your fate!"

He has always been soft and afraid of the hard. This time Gao Huaiyuan came back and behaved very strongly. He immediately suppressed the boy. He suddenly remembered that more than a year ago, before Gao Huaiyuan left the Gao family, that Li

The fate of Gao Huaiyuan's young man, and now Gao Huaiyuan has obviously grown up to the level of an adult. I can't live with him. In fact, I can't live with myself. After all, they are now in charge of so many people in the Gao family's old house, and I have to offend him.

I can't afford him.

So the boy didn't dare to care about the boy who was knocked unconscious. He quickly took Gao Huaiyuan's car, carefully walked Gao Huaiyuan into the gate with a smile on his face, and ran to drive the cart into the yard.

Li Tong is so proud! It's great to follow Gao Huaiyuan. He was unhappy because of this at first, but just thinking about it makes him feel like he should be slapped. Now let's see who else in the Gao family dares to bully him. With Gao Huaiyuan here, the door

The one lying outside is the best example.

After entering the courtyard, Gao Huaiyuan took a look at the situation inside the courtyard. Basically, there were no changes around him. Some of the servants in the courtyard had just heard about what happened outside the door and were too frightened to see Gao Huaiyuan come in.

Again, they were arrogant in front of Gao Huaiyuan, and they all came over with smiling faces to give Gao Huaiyuan gifts.

Gao Huaiyuan didn't put on any airs. He was respectful to others and returned the courtesy with his head. As a result, he immediately aroused the favor of these servants, and they all thought, in fact, this silly young master is quite good.

!At least there is no arrogance! The guy outside the door deserves it. He asked his master to beat him. He really does not deserve sympathy.

Gao Jian was not here, so Gao Huaiyuan wanted to put away the things he brought back first, so after asking, he found out that the small courtyard where he used to live was still empty, so he asked someone to put the things that were not brought back to the Gao family first.

In his former small courtyard, he asked Liu Er and Li Tong to tidy up the small courtyard first. He still lived in the small courtyard.

Li Tong and Liu Er immediately responded and got busy. However, out of courtesy, Gao Huaiyuan had to go to see Gao Jian's wife Zhang first. Otherwise, he would inevitably arouse criticism from these women. It would be less troublesome.

Not wrong.

Mrs. Zhang was surprised and looked at Gao Huaiyuan in front of her. She felt quite unhappy in her heart. Although she was Gao Jian's wife, her life was not good and she gave birth to a son who did not live up to expectations. Ever since her son had a dispute with

After the scandal of Gao Jian's concubine's adultery, she herself was also implicated and lost her influence over Gao Jian. Now she hardly even sees Gao Jian for ten days and a half.

And her son Gao Huailiang was severely beaten by Gao Jian after that incident. Later, after Gao Huaiyuan left Shaoxing, Gao Jian felt that it was embarrassing to keep this boy in the Gao family, so he went to the south of Fujian to

He found a place and drove Gao Huailiang to the south, so as not to be upset. Compared with Gao Huaiyuan, Gao Huailiang's end was quite miserable. He went on the road alone and went to sleep in the south. He never dared to return to Shaoxing.

coming.

Mrs. Zhang looked at Gao Huaiyuan, whom she hadn't seen for more than a year, and saw that he was unusually tall and strong. He had the demeanor of an adult in every gesture, but he still had the silly feeling from before! And from the look in his eyes, he looked like an adult.

There was also a strong sense of self-confidence in it, not like a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old at all, but more like a young man, so I was very surprised.

But Zhang and Gao Huaiyuan had nothing to say. After just chatting for a few words, they asked Gao Huaiyuan to go down to rest first and wait for Gao Jian to come back. The family was reunited. When they thought that even Gao Huaiyuan, who had never been favored by Gao Jian,

The sons he values ​​​​all have the right to come back and reunite with their families, but her son who failed to live up to expectations is still suffering in Fujian. Looking at Gao Huaiyuan's back, Mrs. Zhang felt sad and shed tears secretly.

Gao Huaiyuan was too lazy to pay tribute to Gao Jian's concubines one by one, so he simply went back to his small courtyard to rest and wait for Gao Jian to come back.

As soon as I walked outside the small courtyard, I heard someone inside scolding: "Do you, a slave like me, need to take care of my young master's affairs? Get out of here!..." As he said this, he heard a snap, followed by

Li Tong groaned in pain.dd
