Chapter 334: The Entrustment of the Old Man
Zhang Xuebing took a glance and found two men with their eyes closed on the stretcher.
One of them is Huo San, and the other one is much younger than Huo San. I have never seen this person before.
The two men were covered in blood and lay motionless on the stretchers. They looked like they had lost their lives.
What happened? Zhang Xuebing was full of doubts.
Huo Jueyuan let the three Zhang Xuebing into the main room, invited them to sit down, and asked his family to pour tea.
The person who came to deliver the tea was a young girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old. Her clothes were very shabby, her figure was thin, her skin was yellow from malnutrition, but her appearance was very pretty.
After the girl put down the tea, she immediately returned to the back room.
Zhang Xuebing was stunned because this girl reminded him of the little girl Su Xin'er from a few months ago.
Huo Jueyuan said, this is my granddaughter Hua'er, and then told the whole story.
It turned out that the other body lying on the stretcher was Huo San's son.
In the village, this boy was a second-rate guy who was neither good at literature nor martial arts and was lazy in work.
However, his father doted on him very much.
When the male elders get married, the female elders get married. When they reach adulthood, this boy falls in love with Hua'er, the village chief's granddaughter. However, the village chief's family, from the oldest to the youngest, are opposed to this marriage.
Hua'er herself looked down on second-rate people.
Huo San agreed at first, but he couldn't stand his son's constant teasing.
Huo San subconsciously believed that the reason why the marriage failed was because the village chief looked down on him.
This year happened to coincide with the time when the old village chief realized that his physical strength was not enough and planned to ask the village to find someone to be the village chief.
So Huo San thought that an opportunity had come, and went around to win over the villagers to recommend him.
But everyone in the village knew what his virtues were, and there were a lot of ridiculing remarks about him behind the scenes.
There is no airtight wall. After Huo San heard these words, he thought that the old village chief was deliberately going against him.
Hatred suddenly emerged in his heart, and he planned to take revenge, but he knew that he could not defeat the old village chief and his grandson.
Today, after he learned that Zhang Xuebing was going to trade his shotgun for livestock, he planned to trade his packhorse for a new shotgun. Then he and his son killed the old village chief and his family overnight, kidnapped Hua'er, and left the village with them and their finances.
However, he didn't expect that although Zhang Xuebing gave him a shotgun, he arranged for a horned wood dragon to keep an eye on him.
Jiao Mujiao lurked for a long time and noticed the strange movements of Huo San and his son, so he followed them and pulled the trigger first when they sneaked into the village chief's house and prepared to shoot.
The gunshots alerted the old village chief's family and nearby villagers.
Only then did the scene seen by Zhang Xuebing appear.
The old village chief and several elders in the village stamped their feet and beat their chests, cursing that they had no problem teaching and allowed such an evil thing to happen in the village.
Zhang Xuebing gave a few words of advice, and seeing that it was already midnight, he planned to say goodbye and go back to rest.
Huo Jueyuan suddenly said, "I've figured it out, it's the 1990s now, I heard that people can go to the moon, and I'm stopping people in the village from going out. This is offending people, and I don't know who will be behind it in the future."
If you want to beat me up, they can do whatever they want in the future. The worst is, the old man here will grow it himself!"
"Boss Zhang, I think you are a capable person, and you are calm and kind-hearted. I am going to entrust you with something, but I don't know if you can agree!" Huo Jueyuan said with a sad expression.
Zhang Xuebing frowned and said in a calm tone, "Old village chief, please tell me first. If it can be done, I won't refuse. If it can't be done, then I can only help you!"
Huo Jueyuan pondered for a while and shouted loudly, "Shengwu, Hua'er, come out!"
Following the old man's voice, a man and a woman walked out of the back room and the wing room.
The woman was Hua'er, whom Zhang Xuebing had just seen. The man was about the same age as himself, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a very loyal appearance, not tall, but full of energy, standing there like a vigorous green pine.
Huo Jueyuan pointed at them and said, "These are my grandson Huo Shengwu and granddaughter Huo Hua'er. One is twenty and the other is eighteen. They are both hard-luck children. Their mother died before they were ten years old. Later, their father also died in the wilderness.
They disappeared, it was me who helped them grow up!"
Zhang Xuebing listened patiently to the old man's ramble.
In the end I finally understood what he meant.
It turned out that after the two children grew up, they learned about the wonderful world outside from the fur traders, and planned to find their father who had been missing for many years and see the outside world.
However, the old village chief felt that the two children were too young and that it was more dangerous outside. He was afraid that they would be like his son and disappear without a trace.
So the old man kept blocking them and planned to let them stay in the village to practice martial arts, hunt and farm.
Until today, the old village chief finally changed his mind. He felt that Zhang Xuebing was reliable and capable, so he planned to entrust his grandson and granddaughter to him.
Let him take him outside to have a look. Of course, if he can find his son, it is a dream. If he can't find him, he can also take care of the two children.
Zhang Xuebing was about to refuse this kind of thing, but then he thought about it. The old village chief had saved the lives of three people, and he needed his support to leave here.
Besides, it’s not too much of a burden to take two people with you. As long as you get to Vostok, you can let them do anything, and they will definitely not suffer any loss.
If they get tired of it in the future, you can send them back.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuebing said in a deep voice.
"Originally I didn't want to agree, but because of the old village chief's warm hospitality to us, they can come with me, but I have a word in advance. First of all, everything will be subject to my arrangements. If they leave on their own initiative, I won't
Be responsible. After arriving in Vostok, if you don’t pick up the troublemakers, I will send them back!"
After a pause, he continued, "In addition, I only got one pack horse from Huo San. I'm afraid I won't be able to pull three people along the way. Old village chief, you still have to sell me horses and food!"
When the brother and sister heard this, their faces suddenly showed joy and excitement.
The old village chief's face was filled with joy and a bit of sadness. He sighed and said, "Did you listen carefully? Boss Zhang's conditions cannot be violated. Besides, when you go there, it's different from home. You have to take care of yourself when the time comes.
!”
The two children nodded repeatedly and were so excited that they were speechless.
The old village chief then said to Zhang Xuebing, "Don't worry, the horses, sledges, grain, and children's salutes will all be prepared tomorrow. I will definitely not delay you!"
Zhang Xuebing was overjoyed and was not afraid that the old village chief would regret it, so he immediately asked Xiong Zhan to keep the banknotes and the three shotguns.
Then he took Xiong Zhan and them back to the big house.
Before going to sleep, Xiong Zhan said with a smile, "Boss, you have found a treasure this time. This boy's kung fu is no less than mine!"
