Chapter 73

Before Qiu Tong could speak, the sound of footsteps could be heard. The two of them looked up to see the one-armed old man walking into the hall.

The one-armed old man walked up to them and bowed. The young miss nodded and Qiu Tong quickly returned the greeting. The young miss asked, "Elder Yu, why are you so flustered?"

Boss Yu said with a straight face, "Young miss, Liu Er, who was in charge of weeding in the herb field, asked for leave yesterday because his mother passed away. The herb field is short of manpower and I told Qiu Tong this afternoon, but I saw a ten year old child standing in the yard just now. Is he the helper that Qiu Tong found?

Was there not even an adult standing over at the Lotus Flower Escort Agency?

Isn't this just brushing me off? "

Qiu Tong's face flushed red from the series of questions that were thrown at her.

At this time, the young miss comforted Elder Yu, "Elder Yu, Qiu Tong has always been cautious. Why don't you sit down first and listen to her. If you're not satisfied, why don't we swap?"

Elder Yu's expression softened as he apologized to Qiu Tong, "Qiu Tong, you know how impatient I am. Why don't you tell me first?"

Qiu Tong also hurriedly said, "It's nothing, Elder Yu. The medicinal field is very important to begin with, and it was just a coincidence that I pulled Zhang Xiaohua over. I was just about to report this to the young miss. Why don't you listen before making a decision?"

Elder Yu nodded and found a chair to sit down. Qiu Tong also poured some tea and placed it in front of Elder Yu.

Then, Qiu Tong told the two of them everything that happened today. When they heard that Zhang Xiaohua helped Qiu Tong get back her purse, the two of them nodded and thought that she was a very good child. When they heard that Zhang Xiaohua lifted the five hundred jin stone, the young miss was extremely moved. Elder Yu didn't quite believe it and asked, "Were you there?

Did you see that stone weight was five hundred jin? "

Qiu Tong said, "I wasn't there when she lifted it. I was talking to Third Uncle Qu. When I saw Zhang Xiaohua, he had already lifted it. I'm not sure if that stone weight was five hundred jin, but I heard from the people around me that it shouldn't be wrong."

Elder Yu shook his head and said, "It's just hearsay. That stone lock might not necessarily weigh five hundred kilograms. Three to four hundred kilograms should be the limit."

After all, Qiu Tong didn't have any experience in this area. She had only heard from the people in the escort agency that she didn't have any concept of weight. She could only agree and say, "That's possible. After all, I haven't personally seen the weight of the stone locks in the escort agency."

Elder Yu smiled and said, "Qiu Tong, the weight isn't written on the stone lock. You won't know even if you look at it, haha."

Qiu Tong blushed and said angrily, "Elder Yu knows that Qiu Tong doesn't know martial arts, yet you still use this to make fun of me."

Seeing that there was no barrier between the two, the young miss was very gratified and said, "Elder Yu, even if it's three to four hundred kilograms, it's still extremely rare for a ten year old child.

However, his age is just as Third Uncle Qu said, extremely awkward. With such aptitude, if it was discovered a few years ago, he would have been accepted into the Misty School and would have been a great help to our sect. However, now that he's been accepted into our Huan Xi Manor, it's not good to let him continue to be buried. Elder Yu, I'll leave this child with you for now. Let him do some manual labor and there's no need for him to help out in the medicinal fields. Once the Lotus Escort Agency has received confirmation that we can use him without worry, we'll let him work in the medicinal fields. If that's the case, you'll have to take good care of him in the future. Take a look at his martial arts talent and if there's a possibility of nurturing him, give him all the help you can. I'd like to see if our Huan Xi Manor can produce a stone cow. "

When Elder Yu heard this, he saw that the young miss's arrangements were watertight and didn't say anything else. However, when he heard the last sentence, he immediately thought of the giant stone cow's figure compared to Zhang Xiaohua's small and tender body. He couldn't help but shake his head. Were they clearly not on the same level?

Then, he bowed to the young miss and took his leave.

Seeing that Elder Yu had left, Qiu Tong couldn't help but pat her forehead and say, "Young miss, I was thinking about how to arrange for Zhang Xiaohua and completely forgot about Elder Yu. It's all thanks to young miss speaking up for me, otherwise this Zhang Xiaohua wouldn't even be able to enter his eyes."

That young miss smiled and poked Qiu Tong's forehead, saying, "You little girl, I've never seen you do anything good all year round. Why are you helping Zhang Xiaohua today?

If it wasn't for his young age, I would have thought it was you …? "

Qiu Tong immediately refused and said with a smile, "Young miss, look at what you're saying. I only thought of my younger brother when I saw Zhang Xiaohua and saw how pitiful Zhang Xiaohua's situation was. That's why I wanted to help him. Why are you thinking of other things?

Moreover, I'm even younger than young miss. Young miss doesn't even have a place to settle down, so what am I thinking of?

Hahaha! "

Qiu Tong actually started to tease the young miss. It seemed that this young miss really didn't put on any airs and had a very good relationship with the servants.

The young lady didn't argue and sighed. Looking at the dark sky outside the hall, she said, "That's right. Blood ties are always strong. Someone you don't know made you think of your younger brother, and thus you have the heart to help. It can be said that love the house, love the crow. Only, I don't know if my elder brother is progressing smoothly?"

Qiu Tong saw that the young miss was frowning and hurried forward to say, "Young miss, you don't have to worry. Chief Ou has achieved great success in his martial arts and there are only a few people in the jianghu who can hurt him. Moreover, this time we're not attacking any large faction, just a small Luo Shui Gang. Our large Misty School has planned for a long time and there's no reason we can't take them down. Moreover, our Misty School's strength has greatly improved and we definitely won't give the Luo Shui Gang any chance.

This young miss was actually the Misty School's Head Ou Peng's younger sister, Ou Yan.

Although Qiu Tong's words weren't without reason, Ou Yan still sighed and said, "If you stand by the river, how can your shoes not get wet?

In the jianghu, a storm of blood is common and it's hard to guarantee that one day you won't make a mistake.

We see the Luo Shui Gang as a fat piece of meat, but won't others see our Misty School as a fat piece of meat as well?

I only hope that Buddha will protect my big brother and allow him to return safely. "

Qiu Tong also said seriously, "Not to mention that Chief Ou is kind-hearted and has boundless fortune, just based on the young miss' benevolence in everything, you'll be able to ensure Chief's safety."

Ou Yan smiled and said, "I know, little girl. Hurry up and make arrangements for your brother. If Elder Yu makes arrangements, won't he be wronged?"

Qiu Tong said, "I won't go. Although I was the one who brought him in, he has to be like the others. Otherwise, Zhang Xiaohua will be lazy and Elder Yu won't be able to manage him."

Ou Yan said, "Qiu Tong, I've always said that you're smart. Why are you so muddle-headed now?

Zhang Xiaohua is just a child who just came from the countryside. If he mingles with a group of young people, it's inevitable that he'll be bullied. "

Qiu Tong finally understood Ou Yan's meaning and said, "I understand. En, I have to hurry up and take a look. Those people in the medicinal field aren't good people. I can't let this child be bullied."

After saying that, she bid farewell to Ou Yan and turned to leave the hall. Suddenly, Ou Yan called out to her, "Qiu Tong, wait."

Qiu Tong obeyed and returned, asking, "Young miss, is there anything else?"

Ou Yan said, "You don't have to go either. Let Elder Yu make the arrangements."

Qiu Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, saying, "My dear Young Miss, what do you mean by this? One moment you want me to go, and the next moment you don't want me to go?"

Ou Yan smiled and said, "I'm not teasing you. I wanted you to go just now because I was afraid that the child would be wronged. I'm not letting you go now because I want the child to be wronged a little and see his mentality. He's a child after all. Being wronged a little is good for him to understand the ways of the world and grow up well. Zhang Xiaohua grew up in the countryside and doesn't know how to scheme and scheme against others. It's good to let him experience it. Isn't there a saying that 'when the heavens are about to bestow a great responsibility, they must first torment the heart'?

Qiu Tong nodded thoughtfully. She was secretly happy for Zhang Xiaohua in her heart. The Young Miss must have meant that she wanted to nurture Zhang Xiaohua well. It was also an opportunity for Zhang Xiaohua. Thus, she gave up on the idea of going out and stayed to chat with Ou Yan.

Zhang Xiaohua's heart couldn't help but be in a mess after Elder Yu's harsh words. He didn't know whether to sit or stand. He was afraid that the hateful one-armed old man would come back and tell him that he should leave. Huan Xi Manor didn't want someone like him.

Then where should he go in this boundless night?

Just as Zhang Xiaohua was worrying about his gains and losses, there were noises and footsteps outside the door. Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly stood up and carefully looked at the small round door. Not long after, the light of a fire could be seen. A group of people holding torches or lanterns walked into the small courtyard.

The person at the front was a young man who was as thin as a bamboo pole. He was in his early twenties and wore a green robe and a small hat. He held a lantern in his hand. When he saw Zhang Xiaohua standing under the shelf, he couldn't help but be stunned. He walked up and asked, "Who are you?"

Before Zhang Xiaohua could reply, the group of people had already entered the courtyard. Zhang Xiaohua didn't count them, but there were about ten people. Most of them were holding lanterns and wearing green robes and small hats. There were also some who held torches and were dressed in martial attire. Zhang Xiaohua noticed that the people dressed in martial attire didn't mingle with the people in green robes and small hats. They didn't even walk into the courtyard together. The people in green robes and small hats came in first, and the people in martial attire walked in last. Moreover, the people in martial attire were obviously burly and looked very powerful. The people in green robes and small hats were slightly more ordinary.

Zhang Xiaohua knew that the young man in front of him was probably the leader of this group of people. Thus, he respectfully replied, "This one is called Zhang Xiaohua. I'm here to plant the medicinal herbs. However, there seems to be … there seems to be a problem. Just now, a one-armed old man went inside to look for someone."

"Zhang Xiaohua?

Hahaha, Xiaohua, this name is not bad. "

Hearing Zhang Xiaohua introduce himself, some of the people in green robes and small hats couldn't help but laugh. They all whispered, "Hearing this name, it's a girl's name. However, he looks ordinary. Now that the sky is dark, I wonder how his skin is?

How can he be worthy of the name Xiaohua? "
