Chapter 64 Bodyguard
Under the gloomy sky, An Xu and Fang Bo got out of the carriage, followed behind Mrs. Qian, and walked into an empty courtyard with only four walls.

There was no snow in the courtyard, and the ground was clean. There were two low houses on the east side. Mrs. Qian shouted: "There is a home for the owner, everyone come out."

Then, right under An Xu's eyes, there were no less than twenty people coming out of these two small rooms.

There are two older ones, and several children who are about one or two years old.Both men and women had numb expressions on their faces.

The kind of burly physique that An Xu wants to sell can beat three by one, but there are almost none.

All of them were wearing puddings, or jackets and shoes with their toes exposed, and their lips were black and purple from the cold.

To be honest, Rao An Xu has accepted the ancient national conditions, seeing so many people who are worse than African refugees, feels like there are tiny needles in his heart.

It doesn't matter who these people are in front of her, she is a person with normal empathy, and she is very uncomfortable.

But she is just an ordinary person, and she has to "cooperate with others".

Seeing the girl's unsightly complexion, Mrs. Qian smiled and said: "These are from clean sources, the kind you want, you really have to work hard to get it."

Those who are strong and skilled don't really need to come to her place, do they?
An Xu nodded, his eyes flicked over these people one by one.

A few of them moved back obviously when she looked at them, and there seemed to be disgust in their eyes.Could it be that they have all become "commodities" being picked by others, and they still want to pick a master with more wealth?

An Xu wanted to laugh a little, but was more sad.

She took a fancy to a middle-aged boy, probably fifteen or sixteen years old?But sallow and thin, maybe older than fifteen or sixteen years old, not necessarily.

One of his hands has been protecting a child who is not even around his waist. It should be a little girl with withered and yellow hair, and her little face is dry and dirty.

Meeting her gaze, the boy's eyes were clear and clear, while the little girl's was still a little ignorant.

Following her gaze, Mrs. Qian explained: "It was sold by my brother and sister-in-law at home. The little brother insisted on taking his little sister with him, so that he would not let him fight us desperately."

An Xu didn't speak, and looked at the rest of the people. Among them, there were still those who were disgusted and retreated, but there were also those who were begging.

"Just them," An Xu looked away, hardened his heart and ignored the others.

Joy flashed in the young man's eyes for a moment, and those who were looking forward to it were disappointed for a while, and then they all turned and went into the house.

The young man brought the little girl over, and with the little girl, he knelt down for An Xu with a plop, making three thud bangs.

Perhaps because of the soft-heartedness of An Xu, Mrs. Qian even asked for a tael of silver for the little girl who couldn't do any work and could only support her, while the young man was worth five taels of silver.

An Xu didn't bargain with her. No matter how profiteering she was, she couldn't argue with an ancient matchmaker about the price of one person.

The money does not need to be handed over on the spot, but you have to go to the government office to leave a deed. In this way, the boy and the little girl will stay in the government office, and their physical characteristics will be recorded. If they escape in the future, based on this, the master will kill them. The government does not pursue it.

Including the handling fees at the government, the two of them spent a total of six taels of silver.The clouds of cold air brought out by breathing slightly obstructed the sight, looking at the two thin papers in his hand, An Xu sighed deeply, suppressing all the discomfort in his heart.

Holding warm silver in her arms, Mrs. Qian happily showed her teeth, and said to An Xu, "Young lady, come to our dental shop if you need it in the future. I will never let you suffer."

An Xu smiled perfunctorily, told the brothers and sisters to get in the car first, and said to Fang Bo: "Let's go to the tailor shop first, and see if there are any ready-made clothes to buy."

At this time, Fang Bo whispered: "If you want to buy such a person, you don't need to go to the dental shop in this city. Just tell your Aunt Siping that there is one in the nearby village."

And now I'm in a hurry to buy, and I have to stay in the city for a few days. Isn't it a waste of money for these two extra people?I used to see Dani as a sharp talker, but I didn't expect her heart to be so soft.

At the beginning, An Xu really rushed to buy someone who could fight back. Didn't these two days just happen to protect Zong Che?Who would have thought that her thinking would be so simple, but for those people, her ability can fish out two, so she fished.

As for those who can fight, she will go to the Escort tomorrow to have a look.

After buying new clothes for the siblings and some insect repellent, An Xu asked Fang Bo to drive back. Fortunately, he had a good relationship with Chef Zhao before. She used both hot water and a bathtub. , Chef Zhao made peace, and the innkeeper didn't show any signs of embarrassment.

After tidying up the two of them and letting them eat something, it was already dark, and a big bunk was arranged for the boy, and the little girl An Xu planned to take her to sleep.

In a bean of light, An Xu took the grate and grated the little girl's head before letting her get into the warm bed.

When she was combing her hair, the little girl showed her head, looked at her without blinking, and suddenly said the first sentence: "Miss, you are so kind, Cao Ya will take good care of you in the future."

"Your name is Caoya," An Xu said with a smile, "What's your brother's name?"

When the contract is noted in the yamen, these people who are commodities have no names, only a code name, which is the date they were bought by the Yamen, and then they are distinguished in the order of one, two, three, four, five, and six.

The little girl noticed her slip of the tongue, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly said, "Brother said, the name Miss will choose from now on will be our name."

An Xu laughed, put down the comb and went to bed, then blew out the lights, "I still have to give you names, I have to think about it."

Next door, there was no voice on the other side of the wall, so Zong Che put all his thoughts on the book. An Chong outside was about to go to bed. Seeing that the light was still on inside, he reminded: "Brother Che, you too Sleep, you will enter the venue the day after tomorrow, my sister wants you to relax these two days."

"Understood." Zong Che replied lightly.

Here, An Xu thought about the name for a long time before falling asleep. The next day, he was woken up by the little girl who was moving around. He yawned and asked, "What's wrong?"

The little girl blushed and said embarrassedly: "Miss, I want to go to the latrine."

An Xu put on his clothes and saw that it was still dark outside the window, so he said, "There is a bucket behind the screen, go."

The little girl went to pee, An Xu also went there, and then lay back on the bed, both of them lost sleepiness.

A gurgling sound came from the little girl's stomach.

An Xu laughed and said, "I'm hungry."

The little girl hurriedly shook her head: "No, I'm not hungry."

My brother has already secretly told her to be sensible. No matter how good the young lady is, she can't trouble others when her parents are around.Most importantly, they need to be grateful.If there is no Miss, they don't know where they will go in the future.

There is an hourglass in the outside room, An Xu just glanced at it, and knew that it was almost time to get up, so he planned to get up.

She didn't make many rice balls yesterday, in fact, she made a few samples and asked Zong Che to try them.We only need to do a lot today, and they will enter the arena at five o'clock tomorrow. According to what An Xu heard from other people in the inn in the past two days, basically they can't sleep tonight, and they have to get up in the middle of the night to queue up.

With An Xu together, the little girl will also get up, but what can such a small child do, An Xu said: "You continue to sleep."

The little girl said: "I want to help Miss."

An Xu laughed and said, "We'll talk about it when you grow up."

Although the little girl didn't dare to sleep anymore, she kept her brother's words in mind and wanted to listen to the young lady, so she pulled the quilt and lay down again.

"Miss," An Xu closed the door, and then saw the young man waiting at the door. After being surprised, he pulled him to the corner of the stairs, "Why did you get up so early?"

"I always wake up at this time. I was worried that the ladies and masters needed hot water, so I came here first."

An Xu was helpless, she could see that the siblings were very anxious, and she couldn't get rid of this anxiety with a few words, so she ordered: "Then you go to the kitchen with me."

In the morning, I made some meat floss rice balls and the meals for the morning. When An Xu and the young man returned to the guest meal with their things, they saw the door of the room where An Chong and Zong Che lived was open. Sit at the table and read a book.

The little girl had also gotten up, and An Chong played with her.

"Sister, when did you get up?" Seeing her sister, An Chong hurried out to catch the things in her hand.

"Maochu," An Xu replied, and said to the young man, "Go down and ask Uncle Fang to come up for dinner."

"Well," put the tray on the table, the boy turned around and went out.

Zong Che then put down his book and looked up at An Xu. Does this woman have no concept of male and female defense at all?

"If you think there are few people in your family, why don't you buy a proper maid?"

A teenager who is about her age, and a young girl, are both tasteless.

An Xu started serving the rice, and said to Zong Che, "Mind your own business, wash your hands."

Zong Che got up and went to wash his hands.

An Chong whispered to his sister: "Brother Che is not in a good mood when he wakes up in the morning."

Well, I see it.But isn't it just that he has such an awkward temper, and he has to make an eighteen-mile turn when he says anything.

During the meal, Zong Che asked the siblings who were eating together at the small coffee table, "What are your names?"

The boy hurriedly put down his chopsticks and replied: "The previous names have nothing to do with us, I implore the young lady and the two young masters to give me a name."

Zong Che frowned slightly, this young man was a bit too slippery.

By the way, name.An Xu smiled and said, "I thought about it last night, Caoya, from now on you will be called Daohua, and your brother will be called Fengnian."

She was named Fei, and after thinking about it for a long time last night, she finally thought of the phrase "the fragrance of rice flowers speaks of a good harvest" by Xin Qiji, who often took exams in high school, and decided on it.

The boy took his sister to thank him quickly, no matter what the name is, it sounds better than Ergouzi and Caoya before.

Zong Che shook his head slightly, and An Xu asked, "Do you have any comments?"

"No, you can do whatever you want," he said.

An Xu snorted triumphantly, and then solemnly announced, "By the way, I also named myself An Xu."

Uncle Fang, who was having a good meal, was choked up and looked at Dani in surprise. Does this girl hate to marry?
The girls in the city, Jingui, are given a boudoir name by their parents when they are born, and they are called by the family, while those in the countryside are usually called by Ji Ni Ji Ni.

The official name is to be officially taken by the elders when they get married, and written on the Geng post so that they can be exchanged with the man.

He was about to say something when Zong Che asked, "Which one?"

"Three drops of water," An Xu thought for a while, and the traditional and simplified characters are written in the same way, and then said: "Add a narrative."

"What do you mean by the water?" Zong Che asked.

An Xu nodded and said, "How is it? I will be called this name from now on."

Fang Bo wanted to interject again, but Zong Che smiled and said, "Just as long as you like it." Then he looked at An Chong, "What do you think?"

An Chong's complexion was a bit uncomfortable, but when he was asked, he quickly laughed, nodded and said, "I think it sounds good."

And little Zhao Cheng also nodded, agreeing.

There is a lot of fun on the table.

Fang Bo: Okay, you all think it’s okay, I’m an outsider and I won’t say much.

After breakfast, Feng Nian packed up the dishes and took them to the back kitchen to wash. Little Zhao Cheng wanted to help, but he refused to let him. Although he didn't understand the relationship between this child and the master's family, he still treated him politely.

Seeing this person's behavior, Zong Che was a little relieved, it doesn't matter if he is naughty, as long as he is a person who knows his duty and remembers his gratitude.

"I'm going out for a while," Zong Che said to An Xu who was rearranging his test basket.

When An Xu heard the words, he refused without even thinking about it, "No, we have an opponent behind the scenes, and the exam is coming soon, so don't go out and wander around."

It is because there is an opponent behind the scenes that I want to go out to fish.

Zong Che said, "I just want to relax."

An Xu thought for a while, "I'm going out too later, you and I will ride in Uncle Fang's car."

Zong Che: How can you catch people like that?

An Xu glanced at him, is there anything else?
Zong Che didn't dare to stick to his opinion for a moment, turned around and sat on a chair beside him.

Outside the Guixiang Inn, a beggar was squatting opposite and playing with stones, but he would look curiously at every person who came out of the inn.

It wasn't until the sun was almost in the middle that the man in the portrait he had seen appeared, but there was also a middle-aged man with a young woman.

The beggar thought for a while, waited for them to get into the car, watched their car go to the street east of the inn, and then ran to inform the two men who were eating roast goose at the street corner.

These two men are taller than the other, both have afro-haired beards, and their small eyes reveal a bit of fierceness when they occasionally look at passers-by.

Because they were here, no customers in the roast goose shop dared to approach.

The boss has been thinking hard in his heart, why did he recruit the Fan family brothers in this small shop.

A little beggar ran over to say something, and Boss Fan confirmed it: "Is that the carriage just now?"

The little beggar nodded, his eyeballs were almost glued to the roast goose in front of him.

Boss Fan threw a half-gnawed bone to him, motioned to his second brother, grabbed the oil paper wrapped with goose meat, and left, sticking tightly behind the carriage.

Today the snow stopped, the sun was bright, there were many pedestrians on the street, the carriage was moving slowly, the Fan family brothers followed very easily, and threw the goose bones all the way.

But the more I followed, the more I realized that the carriage was going in the wrong direction.

"Where are we going?" Zong Che looked at An Xu who was pulling the curtains of the car to see the scenery on the street.

An Xu pointed to the gate of the martial arts hall, which was already visible, and said with a smile, "Hire two bodyguards."
