The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 478

It is said that Mu Xu and his party crossed the boundary of Tokyo, and they were supposed to arrive at the Yellow River Ferry in the evening of that day, but unfortunately, halfway through the trip, it suddenly snowed heavily.

As a result, the trip was delayed due to the muddy road, and when it was almost midnight when they arrived at the ferry, Mu Xu had no choice but to order to find an inn to rest for the night.

But because of the heavy snow, many merchants are trapped here, where is there any vacant inn to shelter them?
But Mu Xu didn't want to overwhelm others with power, so in the end, everyone had to come to a warehouse, intending to take a rest for the night and go back on the road tomorrow.

That night, when the appointment was over, Mu Xu, Chai Jin and the others were sitting on the pillars in the lobby, taking a nap around the brazier, when they heard the sound of arguing from outside.

As soon as Mu Xufang opened his eyes, before he could ask any questions, Shi Xiu walked up to him lightly and reported to him.

"My lord, a big man came to the door with his old mother, wife and children. He missed the dormitory on the way, so he wanted to take a rest here. The store saw that he had no money to ask, so he stopped him from coming in."

Mu Xu nodded, "Go and tell the shopkeeper, let him make it convenient, and give him the money tomorrow, so don't disturb the rest of the brothers."

Shi Xiu responded, and was about to go out to do something. She didn't want Mu Xu to startle, stopped him, and said, "Wait, I'll go with you."

Faced with Shi Xiu's puzzled look, Mu Xu didn't explain, stood up suddenly, and waved to Wu Song and the others, signaling that they don't have to follow.

The reason why Mu Xu acted this way was that after he gave Shi Xiu an order, with his astonishing hearing ability, he suddenly heard someone outside say, "Please do me a favor, for my mother's old age, let me wait for you." Go in and take shelter from the wind and snow, I, Niu Gao, will be rewarded in the future!"

Although he didn't know whether the name on the speaker's mouth was Niu Gao or Niu Gao, how could Mu Xu continue to be at ease?

When Mu Xu brought Shi Xiu to the gate of the warehouse, he saw a big man of about ten or thirty, nodding and bowing his head, apologizing to the store owner.

After just taking a look at it so simply, Mu Xu felt that this big man was probably Niu Gao, why do you think so?
Because the big man is eight feet tall, even with his back bent at this moment, he is more than half a head taller than the shopkeeper.The whole body is like cast iron, and the worn clothes are bulging.

Seeing that the storekeeper refused to let go, and the big man was persuaded by his mother, he wanted to find another place. Mu Xu couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately shouted loudly,
"Wait a minute, the expenses of this hero's family will be included in my account."

Following the sound of Mu Xu's voice in the silent night, the attention of the shopkeeper and the big man's family was naturally attracted.

Different from the vigilant eyes of the big man, the shopkeeper welcomes and sends people every day, and he has already cultivated a pair of eyes for observing words and demeanor.

Therefore, when he saw Mu Xu and his party today, he knew that he must be rich or noble. At this time, when he heard Mu Xu's voice, he did not dare to neglect it. Move luggage.

Just when the two guys put their hands on the luggage, the big man held down the shoulders of the two guys, and the two guys couldn't move at once, and then he asked in a low voice,

"Thank you for the kindness of this high official. It's just that a certain family and you have never lived together. I don't know why they are so kind?"

Of course Mu Xu would not say, I want to recruit you, so he replied like this, "You are so suspicious, I just can't bear to see your mother and a pair of children trembling with cold. , is there something worthy of my plot?"

The shopkeeper flattered him at the right time, "This guy is so ignorant, it's simply inexplicable. What kind of status is this high official, how can he care about these three melons and two dates!"

After hearing what the two of them had said, the big man realized that the young master in front of him was the only one he had ever seen in his life, no matter his clothes or demeanor, and after thinking about his family, there was really no one else to covet except for his strength. Yihong said, embarrassedly,

"Forgive me, high officials, but it's the villains who don't know good people, so please don't take offense!"

Mu Xu understood the truth that haste makes waste, so he nodded with a flat face, and turned back to the warehouse.

Not long after Mu Xu entered, the big man followed the store into the lobby. When he saw soldiers resting all over the floor, he couldn't help but tighten his expression, regretting Meng Lang just now.

After settling the old mother, wife and children, the big man hesitated for a while, but finally came to Mu Xu, bowed down and said, "Little man Niu Gao, thank you for your help."

Mu Xu deliberately pretended not to care, and said casually, "I think you are quite filial, so I specially help you, don't take it to heart."

After finishing speaking, he waved to the storekeeper again, and told him, "Go and slaughter some sheep, cook some pots of sheep soup, and wait for me to get rid of the cold. By the way, I also sent some sheep to the family of this strong man." bowl."

Niu Gao hastily thanked Mu Xu again, and said, "I don't know your lord's name, so I can let the villain know who your benefactor is!"

Mu Xu said seriously, "Why should such small favors be kept in mind?"

Seeing that Mu Xu was unwilling to answer, Niu Gao had no choice but to question Shi Xiu.

Shi Xiu had already seen that Mu Xu was quite interested in this man, so he didn't say when he would wait, and then he replied, "Listen well, my envoy is the envoy of Dingxiang Jiedu, Yingguo Gong Muxu!"

"Oh, it turned out that Master Mu was in person, Niu Gao is being polite."

Mu Xu's reputation was already extremely resounding, but as the news of his recovery of Yunzhou and other places spread, it became even more powerful. How could Niu Gao have never heard of it?

After knowing that the person in front of him was actually the famous Mu Xu, Niu Gao immediately bowed down and couldn't help expressing his admiration.

Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Mu Xu helped Niu Gao up with a smile, and asked him to sit aside, and asked nonchalantly, "I see that you were born with a powerful force, and you are not an ordinary person. I don't know your name. Where do you live?"

Niu Gao replied excitedly, "The villain's surname is Niu and his name is Gao, he is from Lu County."

As soon as Mu Xu heard that they were all right, he knew that he was indeed that Niu Gao, and asked, "Lu County is in the south of Tokyo City, why did you bring the old and the young here?"

"Master Lao asked, the villain's family was poor since he was a child, and he only lived on chopping firewood and hunting for a living. But I don't want the forest to catch fire for no reason this winter, and the villain's family will lose their livelihood. In the end, there is no other way. My mother proposed to go to Weizhou to join my uncle's house."

"So that's the case, but you don't have any livestock, and you don't have a frame, how can you take your family on the road?"

Mu Xu's question immediately caught Niu Gao's pride, and he said to himself, "It's not that the villain is boasting. The villain has been strong since he was a child, and his arms are as strong as a thousand catties. Therefore, he has come all the way. , Whenever encountering rough places, the villain will carry the old mother and the two sons on the burden, so it will save trouble."

Lin Chong and others, who had been awakened by the movement here, were in an uproar when they heard this, and Chai Jin even sighed, "If what you said is true, then apart from being inferior to my envoy, the world should respect you and Master Lu's strength is the most important!"

Niu Gao was taken aback when he heard this, and he didn't dare to answer, "The official said, that Master Lu is not inferior to me in strength, and Master Mu is even more superior to me?"

Chai Jin nodded and said, "That's right. If you don't believe me, you can compare it with my envoy and you will know what I said is true."

Seeing Niu Gao eagerly looking at him, Mu Xu didn't give in, he was about to take this opportunity to subdue Niu Gao so that he could use it for himself.

"Forget it, if you are idle, you are idle, so let's compete with Niu Zhuangshi, let you open your eyes, so that you know that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky."
