Chapter 17
Cao's father and Cao's mother knew that Cao Su had taken over the job of a guard.

Can't help but be happy.

The Cao family is not a large courtyard, and what the two elders most want to see is that their two sons will have a future.

Originally, Cao Jia Dalang was a good benchmark, but he was beaten and disabled later.

This disability forced out a Cao Jia Erlang who was more capable of doing things.

Today's Cao Su joined the martial arts school as an outer disciple and was hired by the Yu family as a guard. His personal social status and family status have risen rapidly.

The wealthy businessman's guard, that is already an existence that ordinary people would not dare to offend.

Although Cao Su is not very unusual, Cao's father and Cao's mother attach great importance to it.

It is comparable to the most important thing during this period of time besides picking a relative for Da Lang.

Cao's father and Cao's mother bought a new pair of cloth shoes for Cao Su.

Because Cao Su had been wearing martial arts practice uniforms, which were considered new clothes, but now he had a new pair of cloth shoes and a new outfit, which was quite different from before.

This made Cao Xing feel a little appetizing after seeing it.

"I don't know if I can wear a new pair of shoes when I get married."

He muttered in a low voice, but Cao's mother just happened to hear him.

Cao's mother smiled and said, "It's okay, your feet are all about the same size, just ask Ah Su to lend you the shoes for two days later."

It turned out that I really didn't plan to buy new shoes.

Cao Xing felt an arrow hit his knee.

The marriage was too miserable.

After Cao Su and Yu Wu joined forces.

Then he joined the Yu family guard team.

There are three old guards in the guard team, who are the Yu family's own guards.

The leader is called "Old Huang".

Lao Huang is very old, but his mental state is good.

He was wearing a gray robe, with a long knife hanging on the back of a high horse, and a deep scar on his left cheek.

"As guards, the most important thing is to know the meaning of "guard"."

"It protects the safety of the master, and protects the life of the master."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was the old guard.

Lao Huang then talked about some "rules".

It probably means that everyone should obey his command. If you encounter a thief, you should send out a warning message as soon as possible, and don't fight alone.

Although the words are trivial, they make sense.

Cao Su memorized it carefully.

After leaving Beicheng, everyone quickened their pace.

After being in this world for so long, this is the first time Cao Su has left the city.

He had long wanted to get out of town.

It's just that I was too weak before, and I was still a little flustered about the unknown world.

Now that everyone is out of the city in groups, it is obviously much better.

The world outside the city is vast and boundless.

On the fields on both sides of the official road, the white snow has not yet melted; looking far away, it is full of weeds and wild, and the sky and the earth are vast.

The Yu family's manor was more than ten miles north of the city, and it took them an hour to walk there.

"Let's take a rest tonight. Tomorrow, many tenants in the manor will go to work in the fields. I will trouble you to guard the manor."

Yu Wu cupped his hands and said to the crowd.

Everyone clasped their fists in return, this was a good job, as it should be.

Guards are divided into two types: patrolling and standing guard.

According to Zhuangzi's layout, three teams were divided.

In addition to the original guards in Zhuangzi, the new guards formed a new patrol team, which was a squad with three sub-teams, wandering around in Zhuangzi.

Cao Su followed Lao Huang and belonged to the first team.

The whole Zhuangzi sits north and faces south.

Hard hill, sloping roof, brick, wood and stone structure, the layout is three groups of six courtyards, the main house is in the middle, and other buildings are distributed on both sides, in an orderly manner.

Cao Su carried a dagger in his pocket, watching as he walked.

Compared with the compact houses in the south of the city, although the manor here belongs to the "countryside", it has a very spacious space, which can be regarded as a "mansion in the wild".

"The Yu family is really rich."

"It is said that this manor is not inherited from the Yu family's ancestors. It was bought by the Yu family from another wealthy businessman a few years ago, which shows that it has strong financial resources."

While patrolling, Cao Su heard the guards talking.

They are all outer disciples of the martial arts school, everyone is familiar with them, and they started chatting casually.

"Brother Cao, I heard that you have a very good relationship with Senior Brother Yu. This Zhuangzi, it's not your first time to come here, right?"

One of the disciples spoke to Cao Su.

But Cao Su really came here for the first time.

The relationship between him and Yu Wu was not as good as expected.

It's just that some time ago, he and Yu Wu were the same "martial arts hall crane tail", and he never looked down on anyone, so he had a few words with Yu Wuduo and had a little friendship.

Cao Su smiled: "I have only been a teacher in the martial arts gym for less than a month, and it is indeed the first time I have come."

"Then we are all the same, it is the first time."

The disciples talked and laughed, which was relatively relaxed.

This is indeed an easy job. Once half a month is up, you can earn 2 taels of silver.

Of course, there will be some risks, but compared with the benefits, the risks are insignificant.

"Zhuangzi is very good, but everyone is busy with spring plowing, so the popularity is less."

"The New Year's Eve is coming soon. Once the New Year's Eve is over, Zhuangzi will be even busier."

The annual festival is the most important festival of the year.

Once the New Year Festival is over, it means turning over the old year and ushering in the new year.

Part of the reason for the "high salary" of Cao Su and others is that it happened to be during the annual festival.

The end of Latvia and spring come, everything grows.

By offering sacrifices to gods, ghosts and ancestral spirits, people pray for good weather in the new year and avoid disasters.

In the boundary of Pingcheng, what people worship is "Supreme Tianyuan Shenzun".

Usually, it is also called "God".

New Year's Day.

People in Zhuangzi slaughtered pigs and sheep and gathered together.

In this village, most of them are tenants of the Yu family.

A small number of people are members of the Yu clan, about 200 people.

At first glance, it is also dark and cloudy, which is really a lot.

In front of the main hall, an altar was placed.

On the offering table are family tree and family rules, god tablets and spirit tablets, incense burners, offerings and so on.

"Play music, welcome the ancestors!"

With a shout.

The whole Zhuangzi became solemn.

The members of the Yu clan suddenly burst out.

All fell to their knees.

Clan Chief Yu stepped forward, took three long incense sticks, and respectfully inserted the long incense sticks into the incense burner.

After three knocks.

The head of the Yu clan began to recite the sacrificial oration.

"In the seventh year of Zhengguang, Yu Feng, a member of the Yu clan, dared to use the sacrifice of the animal prison to sacrifice to the supreme god of heaven and the ancestors of Yu's family. The gods are in Xuanji, and the benefits are in the wild. The most virtuous and deified, who will be with Ji"

The richer the big family, the stronger the formal sense of worship.

Cao Su stood in the distance, watching silently.

Like their Cao family in Pingcheng, there are only a few branches, poor and no place.

During the New Year Festival, we can't get together.

They are all self-sweeping.

After the complicated sacrificial activities.

The Yu family began to hold a dinner party, singing and dancing, which was a lively scene.

"I didn't expect the tenants' life in the manor outside the city to be much more comfortable than in the city."

It was the first time for several martial arts disciples to see a large-scale sacrificial event at Yu's family, and they were very surprised.

"Last year, although there were floods and cold disasters, and the grain harvest was not good, the Yu family's cloth business in Pingcheng did very well and earned a lot of money."

"The tenants may live in poverty, but the Yu family is still rich. These are two different things."

"I heard that the Yu family has a good vision in business. They bought a batch of grain before the cold winter. If they sell it now, they can make a lot of money."

The lively night of singing, dancing and peace washed away the hardships of the world.

It made the people in the manor feel a virtual image of "peace".

"Stop talking, let's patrol well."

Several disciples shook their heads, turned and left.

Liveliness and happiness belong to others.

They just want to make money.

Cao Su also left and continued to patrol the manor.

The atmosphere of the New Year Festival is too relaxing.

Although it was a patrol, everyone was obviously absent-minded, and they were more or less homesick.

When walking to the backyard part of the estate.

in the air.

Suddenly there was a slight smell of blood.

Where is the bloody smell coming from?

Cao Su's expression changed.

Several outer disciples also took out their short knives one after another, raising their hearts of vigilance.

"it's me."

In the darkness, the man who came out surprised everyone.

Yu Wu?

Yu Wu is the senior brother from the outside martial arts school who hired them.

There is no one here who doesn't know him, and they can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Brother Yu, why are you here?"

Out of respect for Wu, an old foreign disciple, all the disciples called him Brother Yu. For example, when talking with Cao Su, they would only call Cao Su "Brother Cao".

Upon hearing the question, Yu Wu smiled and said, "I'll arrange some meals in the back kitchen."

The backyard is really where the back kitchen is.

As if to verify Yu Wu's words, several servants came out after him.

On the tray in his hand were some cooked meats.

Has a light aroma.

"These are all freshly butchered meat, so delicious."

"Brothers have worked hard. When this class is over, I will treat everyone to a feast."

Yu Wu patted the shoulders of the people in front, showing the demeanor of a good boss.

When he came in front of Cao Su, he was about to pat Cao Su on the shoulder, just like the others in front of him.

"Brother Yu, you don't need to see outsiders, this is all a matter of duty."

Cao Su suddenly spoke.

Yu Wu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "It should be like this, but the New Year Festival is hard work, and one or two rewards should be given."

After hearing this, everyone smiled.

"My host is too polite."

Cao Su's expression suddenly became very strange.

He stared straight at Yu Wu and said, "Brother Yu."

"You also take care of such small things yourself?"

When Cao Su said it, everyone took it seriously.

That's right, for such a small matter, the housekeeper can just do it, why should Yu Wu do it himself?
Yu Wu was a little flustered by Cao Su's question.

"It's a big event for the New Year's Festival, and I'm still idle when I'm idle."

He casually said something that was wrong with the horse's mouth and tried to evade it.

When ready to leave.

Cao Su made a sudden move!
He raised his iron fist and struck out with a bang.

He punched too fast and without warning.

It's a very typical sneak attack.

Yu Wu, who had already turned his back on Cao Su, changed his expression.

But it was too late to dodge again, and Cao Su punched him hard in the back.

As if hit by a hammer, a mouthful of blood spewed out.

The whole person went limp.

"Bold!"

Seeing this, several servants didn't hide it.

He took out his hidden dagger and rushed forward.

Two people went straight to Cao Su, their movements were quick, and they were warriors who had completed a blood breakthrough!
"Why are you still standing still?"

"Have you forgotten what we're here for?"

"Kill these thieves!"

Cao Su shouted loudly, reminding the outer disciples of the martial arts school who were dumbfounded by this incident.

Lao Huang, headed by the guard, was the first to react.

Shouted: "Guards, kill the thief!"

Then he reminded: "Ah Yun, you just entered the martial arts gym, and you are not their opponent, so go report it!"

The outer disciple of the martial arts school known as Ayun reacted when he heard the words.

Yes, report to the police, go to the police!
"Stop them!"

At this time, another group of thieves came out of the darkness.

About five or six people, each armed with martial arts, rushed forward.

The guards drew their swords and fought.

Lao Huang is full of energy and blood, and he fights three with one.

On Cao Su's side, he was completely entangled by these two thieves who had completed the energy and blood breakthrough.

Careless, they should be let go first.

What Cao Su thought at the beginning was that it would be better to strike first, so when he found something was wrong, he suddenly got into trouble.

In order to prevent the other party from completely falling into a disadvantage after their conspiracy succeeds.

But he was the only one who noticed something was wrong. The guards even thought he was crazy the moment he shot.

A good opportunity for a sneak attack was missed.

There are many thieves, and it seems that not only this place is causing trouble.

After the fighting here, there were shouts from all over the village.

The raging flames shot up into the sky.
