Chapter 151: Be careful

No matter how dull a person is, he can understand this. He can get the benefits in front of him, but he has to figure out the disadvantages. Everyone has blood on his hands and a lawsuit for life. If he wants to report to the official and causes trouble, he will not be able to wash away his family. The benefits he gets now will disappear, let alone pay some. If there is no compensation, he may throw his life in it.

The handlebars had a flexible mind and thought things very clearly. Several people exchanged their eyes without saying a word while the hired workers were hesitant and wavering, but their final eyes were still focused on the pile of scattered silver coins. No one could tell what happened in the future. The money in front of them was the real one.

It’s a pity that the hired workers used to live hard life, and most of the transactions were physical transactions. The currency and money I had seen were pitifully small. This time, they were working for Zhu Da to eat enough. Who would have thought that they could see cash, and everyone could share a lot.

"We...we are all bad lives...they are given by the two masters, and...they have given so much money to the young. The young masters will repay them in the future. Whoever is not afraid of the men? We will kill him first without waiting for the men to do it!" A hired worker spoke in a rough voice.

The person who spoke was not Zhang Jinbei, and Li He didn't even say this. He was a young man of low height. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a black and thin figure, and was ordinary. He was an inconspicuous character even among the dozen or so hired workers. Of course, Zhu Da remembered the name of each hired and Ji Xiaodong. When he knew the name, Zhu Da was quite surprised. He asked it specifically and found out that his family hired an old boy from the village.

Ji Xiaodong was a little stuttering when he first said this, but later he became fluent. He said it very realistically. Now everyone is sitting on the same boat, and they are still working together to maintain the boat not sinking. Whoever wants to leave will cause damage to others. If anyone wants to betray the informant in reality, others will not only lose money, but even lose their lives. Ji Xiaodong explained it clearly, and others will also understand it.

Everyone first looked at each other, then looked at the money in front of Zhu Da. Starting from your statements, "Whoever says will be struck to death by lightning", "You can live a good life with the master." "If you really have money, you can kill a few more."

Under the clamor, Li He distributed the silver and copper coins to everyone. After getting the handlebars, they thanked him with a smile. The first hired worker to get the money was Zhang Jinbei. He kowtowed to Zhu Da, and the others also followed suit. After getting up after getting the money, his expression and attitude were different from what he had just now.

The thieves did not have any decent weapons, they all had farm tools, wooden guns, etc. They only had three axes, two hatches, and were still iron tools. Zhu Da kept them and found a suitable flat stone to grind them. They gave them to several hired workers, but they specifically advised that they still had to rely on wooden guns.

When the night was arranged, every employee was willing to obey orders. Zhu Da clearly remembered that in the past, he would think of ways to be lazy when he arranged for the hires to do more.

During the day, Zhu Da was busy and harder, so at night he was at the back. Zhou Qingyun led the team first. Before going to bed, the handlebar with wine was pleased to bring the wine gourds. He smiled and said, "Master, take a few sips before sleeping and get tired of it. I will be more energetic tomorrow."

"I used to teach me that I could sleep quickly when I drank, but I couldn't sleep well. If I wanted to rest well, I couldn't drink to help me sleep." Zhu Da waved his hand and refused. This was Yuan Biao's teaching, and he kept it in mind.

The handlebar nodded with a smile, with a look of disappointment on his face. Zhu Da didn't care and just closed his eyes on the covered felt. He adjusted his breathing and soon entered a state of sleeping.

"......I thought it was a workmanship, but why did I become a good man? This is not a thief..."

"......The days are not bad. You can have enough food and still have money to take. Your back will be straightened in the future, so you don't have to be idle..."

Listening to the whispers of the hired workers, Zhu Da fell asleep and slept very soundly. From the moment he saw the Mongolian horse team destroying Baibao Village, Zhu Da always dreamed, but he was sleeping all night without dreams. When Zhou Qingyun called out, he felt refreshed.

"It's nothing, it's quite quiet. A few guys asked me if I'll go up the mountain to make trouble in the future." Zhou Qingyun and Zhu Da explained a few words. Although they were younger than most of the hired workers, they called each other a boy. In terms of experience and mentality, they were indeed much more mature.

He and Zhou Qingyun came to guard the night in the middle of the night. When Zhu Da got up, it was the lateest moment of the night. The cart was dark and there was nothing to see. There was a little phosphorus fire floating around, which seemed even more quiet. You could hear the screams of beasts in the distance, which made people feel something.

"Will there be ghosts?" a hired worker whispered below.

"If there are ghosts, the Tartars will not come and leave well." Zhu Da sat on the roof of the car and replied, and quieted down below.

After dawn, Zhu Da woke Zhou Qingyun up. The two of them arranged for everyone to cook and eat enough for breakfast. Each of them also gave each cooked eggs for breakfast, and they specially brought meat and bones to make soup. Not to mention the poor and poor employees, they even ate the handlebars with sweet food.

However, the cost of the meal made Li He very uncomfortable. He advised Zhu Da privately several times, saying that this time he came out was too expensive, and just eating and using it, he had to eat most of the cooked eggs and pancakes. It would be a profit to sell them. Zhu Da didn't listen to him, just said that it was a small amount of money and didn't have to worry about it.

After having breakfast together, Zhu Da took a rest in the cart and told him to wake him up after an hour and calculate the time. It was time to go to Zheng Jiaji in the afternoon.

"......I'm afraid of having sex? I'm alone in rushing to the road, but I don't know how the family is..." Zhu Da was woken up by this sentence.

Getting up from the cart, I saw that the team had not changed much. A man shouted and spoke on the left side of the team, always following him, never daring to approach him.

Seeing Zhu Da wake up, the handlebar said enthusiastically, "Master, we will walk for a while and this person followed the path. He said that when the Tartars came, he went to visit relatives in the south and escaped the Tartars' disaster. Now he is in a hurry to go home. Seeing that we want to take a partner, Master Zhou will not allow him."

Zhu Da rubbed his eyes and jumped off the cart. He didn't rush to get on the horse. He took the opportunity to go to the roadside to see the lone man who wanted to get along. The man was wearing a short shirt, thick hands and big feet, and dark skin. There was no doubt about it if he was a farmer or a vendor. When he saw Zhu Da looking over, the man smiled and nodded with a very humble attitude.

If this man is really a bandit and wants to do something, then it would be a good opportunity to restrain Zhu Da at this time. Zhu Da also acted very relaxed and acted as if he was about to start. The man approached two steps and stopped again, and said in a pleasing manner: "Young master, I can work too. Let me join you in a group. Just take care of a meal these days. This is a messy man, and I feel unsure if I don't. Can I help you?"

Zhu Da glanced at the man without responding and went straight back to the team. If the man wanted to take action just now, he would be shot by Zhou Qingyun with an arrow. Even if Zhou Qingyun failed to shoot, Zhu Da still had a short knife waiting. Although it was convenient just now, it was also a test.

Although this man was not tested, it could not prove that the other party was safe. He did not know the truth about his chance encounter and did not dare to put him in the team.

"Turn him farther away." Zhu Da turned over and said to a hired worker casually. The hired worker agreed and drove him away with a wooden gun.

"I am an honest little businessman. I want to rush home, why can't I do it? With such a wide road, why can't you just leave? My parents, wife and children don't know how to live or die. You...you..."

When the man heard that he was about to be driven farther away, he immediately jumped and made a fuss. The hired worker had seen blood yesterday and had so many companions around him. He immediately raised his wooden gun to threaten with a face. The man didn't dare to do it. He found that the young people in his team were not kind, and he was holding equipment in his hands to poke him. The man muttered a few words and walked away by himself.

However, the young hired worker who went out did not drive him away too far. Zhu Da knew the reason. He saw that the employer and the handlebar had an unbearable look on his face. The man's experience made them empathize with him. The Mongolian horse team invaded, how many families were destroyed, and how many wives and children were separated. The man didn't know how to cry or laugh after returning home, and asked him to follow him, but he wouldn't lose a piece of meat anyway.

After walking forward for a while, a few more people were traveling with them, some were in groups of three or five, and some were alone. The man didn't just follow the convoy.

It was already dawn, and Zhou Qingyun and Zhu Da greeted him and rode forward first. He expected to arrive at Zheng's family at noon. However, no one knew what the situation there was now, and Zhu Da was also betting, and he knew very well.

It was already a tacit understanding for the two of them to take turns to investigate, so there was no need to say hello or anything. Zhu Da tied the bow string to the bow. Because he had to use the bow and arrow, he had to take care of it diligently and not have any ambiguity.

Zhou Qingyun was driving away in the distance, and pedestrians on the road were watching. Their convoy was crowded with people and goods, which was naturally eye-catching. Everyone also saw that Zhou Qingyun was a member of the team, and the sudden departure was still quite eye-catching.

Even though he was curious, this matter was at most a topic of conversation. No one cared about it. Everyone walked forward silently. The road ahead was much wider and flat than when he came out of the county town. Zhu Da was a little sad on this road. This was because of the prosperity of Zheng Jiaji that the road was better built in all the miles and villages, and then brought more prosperity. All of this was closely related to him, but this prosperity and small situation were so fragile that it was completely destroyed in this disaster, as if it had never existed.

The farmlands on the roadside have not been damaged much, and the employees whispered, saying that the year is good, but these crops have been ruined.
