Chapter 16: The Trouble of Delay
‘Did his father die after using my prescription?!’
At that moment, Zhao Hao wanted to escape.
He was only fourteen or fifteen years old when he was thin arms and legs, and he was far from the age of bravery.
But he thought that Zhao Shouzheng was also powerless. If he was implicated by himself, he would be really a fool...
Moreover, the father and son have been together for the past few days, so Zhao Hao really couldn't leave Zhao Shouzheng and escape alone.
I don’t know where the courage came from, but he shouted loudly at the strong man who was attracted by the sound of the soup bowl being smashed and turned around:
"There are injustice and debts, and I give you the prescription. Don't hurt your father's life."
When the strong man saw Zhao Hao, he glared at him and turned around and walked towards him with a knife.
When Zhao Hao saw a neighbor looking at his head, he felt a little relieved and forced himself to calmly scold him. "The world is bright and peaceful, aren't you afraid of the king's law?"
The strong man frowned when he heard this, and looked down at the knife in his hand. Zhao Hao saw a grim smile on the corner of his mouth...
Zhao Hao immediately broke his power and said in a crying voice while retreating:
"Besides, I agreed at that time that I would not find me if I couldn't cure it..."
Just as Zhao Hao was about to be scared, he saw the strong man throwing the knife in his hand to the ground, and actually kowtowed to him on both knees.
"Uh..." Zhao Hao was stunned.
Then he heard the strong man whisper: "My benefactor is here, Gao Wu kowtowed to you."
"This..." Zhao Hao and the second monk were confused.
The neighbors watching the fun in the distance were also stunned by this scene and whispered.
"Hey, aren't you going to kill someone?"
"How could this fierce god kowtow to a furry child?"
"Didn't you hear Gao Wu call him a benefactor?"
At this time, Zhao Shouzheng heard the movement and came out of the yard. Seeing this scene, he sighed regretfully and said, "I'm so sorry, duck blood vermicelli soup, it's hard to collect the water..."
That's not the point, okay? Zhao Hao almost went wild, looked at Zhao Shouzheng, and then looked at the strong man who claimed to be Gao Wu, and asked unhappy:
"what is going on?!"
Gao Wu spoke half a beat slower, and was about to speak when Zhao Shouzheng snatched the first.
"You went out, and Gao Zhuangshi came to the door. As soon as you came in, he kowtowed to me and said you saved his father from the gate of hell..."
"Ah? Rescue?" Zhao Hao opened his mouth for a while, looked at the sharp kitchen knife on the ground, and asked with a wry smile: "Then what are you doing with a knife?"
"I..." Gao Wu then realized that his little benefactor misunderstood him, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed, and he became increasingly unable to say it.
"He also brought five kilograms of meat as a thank-you gift. Seeing that our family had no knife to clean up, he went home to get the knife..." Zhao Shouzheng explained for Gao Wu.
Gao Wu only looked at Zhao Hao, and said shamelessly for a while: "Gao Wu deserves to die. He has been having a slow speech since childhood, which has scared his benefactor."
"Oh, that's right." Zhao Hao finally calmed down and felt that his back was wet. He thought to himself that you were not only talking a little slower, but also laughing incredibly terrifyingly.
Zhao Shouzheng also patted Gao Wu's shoulder and said in a gentle voice: "Get up quickly, go into the house and pack up the meat."
Back in his yard, Zhao Hao sat on the broken scepter next to the well.
He was so scared that he felt weak this time.
After a while, Gao Wu walked into the kitchen and carried the cut meat strips with hemp rope.
'It's quite quick to work.' Zhao Hao muttered in his heart and asked, "Have your father's illness really cured?"
Gao Wu grinned and hung the pork hanging into the town of the well, before answering: "When you say to me, the villain found that smelly wormwood by the river according to the method of my benefactor."
"Don't call me benefactor." Zhao Hao waved his hand, got up and prepared to make a bucket of water and wash the sweat on his face.
Although Gao Wu spoke slowly, he was very fast. Seeing this, he hurriedly grabbed the bucket of water in Zhao Hao's hand and made a bucket of water effortlessly.
While washing his face, Zhao Hao heard Gao Wu say slowly:
"The little man soaked the wormwood wormwood according to the young master's prescription and squeezed the juice. As a result, my father drank it in the middle of the night, stopped burning it in the second half of the night, and stopped shaking it. He could speak normally in the morning, and even drank a large bowl of porridge, asking me to come and thank Engong for him!"
Zhao Hao took the towel offered by Gao Wu, wiped his face clean, and smiled and said, "What's the point of being a little bitch?"
But I couldn't help but feel a little regretful, because the misunderstanding just now was a bit unnatural...
Fortunately, Gao Wu was very grateful to him and didn't care about Zhao Hao's appearance just now.
"It is a small matter to the young master, but it is a huge matter to the villain! The so-called 's kindness of saving the father is like a mountain and a mountain', the great kindness of the young master is unforgettable!"
Zhao Shouzheng, who was eating buns on the side, asked strangely when he heard this, "Sir Gao, you are quite particular about your words, don't you look like a serious blacksmith?"
Zhao Hao couldn't help rolling his eyes and took the bun that Zhao Shouzheng threw over. He thought to himself that he was talking like this? Is he an inappropriate blacksmith?
When Gao Wu wanted to reply, he felt in a difficult situation. Originally, he called Zhao Hao "benefactor" and Zhao Shouzheng "old benefactor", but now he changed his words to call Zhao Hao "private son", but he could not call Zhao Shouzheng "old son".
He had no choice but to remain silent, and went into the kitchen first, helped to get the stove in a few seconds, and then he thought of the title, and came out and replied:
"When I say to the master, the villain's father is the blacksmith. The villain once served as a team leader in the Qi family's army. The commander of the great commander was the one who knew literary characters, and even the big characters could be known to me."
"Oh? Qi's army?" Zhao Hao's eyes lit up when he heard this.
The Qi family army was not only famous four hundred years later, but it was so powerful at this time. It is no exaggeration to say that the Ming Dynasty could achieve the final victory in the fight against the Japanese, Qi Jiguang and his Qi family army would account for most of the credit!
Then Zhao Shouzheng asked strangely: "Didn't you hear that General Qi was promoted to deputy commander of the Shenji Camp, and the Qi family army also went north to Jizhou at the beginning of the month? Why didn't you follow him?"
"The villain originally wanted to follow the north, but when he passed by Nanjing, he saw his father being old and lonely..." Gao Wu did not delay this time, and obviously he had just finished writing the draft.
"I beg the general to let me go home to serve my father. Now the villain is a commoner."
"So that's it, it's a filial son!" Zhao Shouzheng said, looking at Zhao Hao with great meaning.
"What do you think of me?" Zhao Hao was stuffed with a cage in his mouth and couldn't speak clearly.
"If three people walk together, I will be my teacher. You must learn from Gao Zhuangshi." Zhao Shouzheng said with a serious lesson.
Gao Wu was worried about his father, and said a few words to Zhao Hao and his son, and then hurried home.
When he entered the house, he saw that his father could sit up, and his face looked better than before he went out.
"Have you been sending a kitchen knife for so long?" asked the blacksmith in a strange way.
General Gao Wu cleaned up the messy house before answering: "Following the words and behaviors of his benefactor and son, he should be a rich man who is not in a state of water and has no living eyes. He must have suffered a hardship and fell into a place like ours."
"So that's it." The high blacksmith naturally had already been used to his son's way of speaking. He nodded and said, "Then you have to help more, you can't use all your strength."
"I understand, I'll go when I finish my work in the afternoon." Gao Wu said without hesitation.
