Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 309 Husband 1 Wants to Be a Widow (9)

Mei Xiaowu was already sweating profusely when he returned to Fengzhu Village. He quickened his pace and returned to the Gu family. He knocked on the door, but found it was ajar.

He pushed the door open, slipped in, and called to Hu Zhaomei's room, "Uncle, everything is done, it's time to get up."

Then he knocked on Guda's door and found the person inside snoring.

Boom boom boom!

"Ah...who?"

"Cousin, I'm back."

After saying that, he went to knock on Gur's door, but he didn't expect that the other party had already stood up.

"Cousin, have you asked everything?"

"I have asked them all. They gave me a deposit of one or two taels of silver. Here it is."

Mei Xiaowu knew that one cannot catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb, so he took out a tael of silver. Gu'er suddenly woke up and grabbed the silver in his hand, looking at it.

"Oh my goodness, Yinghonglou is so generous that they even give us the deposit. Let's get started!"

"Cousin, they said the place is..."

Gu Da watched Mei Xiaowu take out all her money and push the cart out of Gu Yuxi's yard, and reminded her: "Big sister, it's important to transport the people out first."

"Ah."

Mei Xiaowu felt strange. Why didn’t he see Gu Zaiwei and his wife?

"Cousin, where are my cousins?"

"Who knows?"

At the moment, Gu Er wished that the couple were not there. She instructed Gu Da and his wife, "Sister, brother-in-law, let's go and come back quickly. It will be bad in the morning."

She pushed open the door and saw two men in sacks in the room. She pulled the sacks down to prevent anyone from seeing what was going on.

After Guer carried the men out, Guda and his wife didn't even look at them, but took a torn straw mat and covered the two unconscious men with it.

"Cousin, uncle hasn't come yet? I'll go to the room..."

"Xiao Wu, this matter is inconvenient for the old man. You push the cart in the back. We should leave now."

Mei Xiaowu wanted to say something, but there were three strong laborers, one pulling in front and two pushing in the back. Thinking that he didn't want to be seen by too many people, he hurried to catch up.

Wu Zhuang and he are almost from the same hometown, separated by a river. She will definitely not tell anyone about this matter. How the Gu family divides the spoils is none of his business.

"Slow down, this is going downhill and it's not easy to walk."

When they got to the back, Mei Xiaowu felt that he was willing but not strong enough and gradually lost his strength. He patted his back and slowly caught up with the cars and people in front.

"Cousin, the road below is flat. If you are tired, just walk over slowly. We will go first."

"Hey, cousin, wait for me."

How could the skinny Mei Xiaowu possibly catch up with those people? He had hardly eaten a drop of water today. The thin porridge given by the Gu family was like water. He was now starving.

But he couldn't let the Gu family send people directly to Yinghonglou, otherwise he would have been working for nothing for the past two days.

The Gu family had just walked out of the road and onto the main road. Mei Xiaowu was about to speak when he suddenly felt dizzy and passed out.

On the deserted street, three people pushing a wooden cart stopped in front of a big shop and knocked on the door.

"come in!"

"Who are you?"

"Sister Ma, Xiaowu is not feeling well and can't come, but we have brought the person you wanted. What's the price?"

Ma Dazhuo saw clearly that the person in the yard was from the second branch of the Gu family. He rolled his eyes and opened the straw mat. Lying inside was the lovely girl he had been thinking about for several days.

"We have just agreed on the price, a total of fifteen taels. Here you are. This matter is known only to heaven and earth, and only to you and me."

"Don't worry, this man won't wake up for a while, so we won't disturb him. From now on, he's yours."

"Well, is there anything else?"

"Nothing."

The men moved in unison, like puppets without any life force. Ma Dazhuo had a flash of doubt in his mind, then he picked up the man on the ground and walked towards the room...

The Gu family breathed a sigh of relief when they could no longer see Mei Xiaowu. They said cheerfully, "Fortunately that guy didn't follow us. We'll be back soon."

"My dear wife, I can't enter Yinghong Tower."

"Don't worry, just wait for us outside, we will be back soon."

Guda and Gur approached a building full of lights and wine. It was bustling inside and a heavily made-up man was standing on the railing, greeting guests loudly.

"Girl, come up!"

"Sister, that jealous old man in your family is willing to let you out."

Guda and Guer stood aside and asked a worker near the door, "Sister, how do you recruit people here?"

"We look at appearance. The ugly ones are cheap."

"Of course we understand."

"What about people?"

"Over there, we brought it."

"Come with me to the backyard. I'll call the head of the household over."

Guda and Guer were listening to a little tune coming from the building. Just when it was getting exciting, an old man dressed in seductive clothes came over, waving a round fan.

"My two guests, I heard that you want to do business with our Yinghonglou. Have you brought this person with you?"

"I brought him. The two young sisters just carried him to the woodshed."

"I need to go check on this person. You guys go have some tea, some snacks, and listen to some music first."

Two men holding a flute and a guqin came forward to salute, then sat down and prepared to perform. The two sisters of the Gu family refused: "No need, sir, we..."

"Yes, yes. I'll be right there."

The owner of Yinghonglou walked towards the firewood room not far away, and saw that Guda and Guer were both good-for-nothings, and smiled knowingly.

There were two men in the woodshed. The older one did not look like someone who worked regularly, but he was quite good-looking and could be given to special guests. The younger one did not look very good, perhaps because of years of hard work.

"Boss, we need a group of soldiers at the border. Five taels of silver per person, regardless of age. We can make a difference."

"Of course, having this kind of stuff in our store tarnishes the reputation of Yinghonglou."

"Yes."

When the boss opened the man's arms, there was no uterine blood. He shook his head a little disappointedly and then walked out.

"Boss, have you seen anyone?"

"Well, I saw them. One of them is good-looking, so I'll give him five taels. The other one is old, not a virgin, and very thin. Can you take him back?"

Hearing that they had to drag Yao Zhigang back, how could Guda and the others possibly do that? Besides, the price was a little lower than their expectations.

"Boss, is this five taels of silver too little?"

"It's already enough. We are planning to move to another place to make a living. It's inconvenient to have more people. We only gave the price because we are from the same county. Otherwise, we would not have planned to take it."

"don't want?"

"That's right. If it doesn't work, drag them all back. Think about it yourself."

Of course, Gu Er would not do that, and he directly made a condition to the boss: "Boss, seven taels of silver, and these two men are from your Yinghonglou."

"Girl, that old man is so thin and pale, I'm afraid he has some hidden illness. If he dies before he can even serve any customers, it will be a big loss for our Yinghonglou, don't you think?"
