The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 111

[Chapter 111 The apprentice comes to look for him]

Some time ago, he had sent someone to release the news.

A female assassin from the southwestern chieftain overestimated her abilities and sneaked into Anping’s house to harm the young master, but she failed and was captured.

If the female assassin really has an accomplice in the capital, she will definitely try her best to sneak into Fang Mansion to rescue her in the past few days.

At that time, it will be time to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, he would always feel a little uneasy.

There is a saying that if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you. This must be true.

The night was getting darker, Fang Xiu was lying in the yard, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

After a long while, he sighed.

The trees wanted to be quiet but the wind didn’t stop…

Early the next morning, at dawn, Bai Xiaochun left the house.

He has always remembered the young master’s instructions yesterday.

Saltpeter

is not a rare thing. You can buy a lot of it from vendors who make fireworks and firecrackers for a little money.

However, the young master only said that he wanted saltpeter, but did not say how much.

After struggling for a moment, I finally bought a whole package and carried it back to Fang’s house.

As soon as I walked to the door, I suddenly saw a small figure standing there, seeming to be arguing with the door.

As I got closer, I heard the disciple say: “What master? There is no master here. You can go and look elsewhere.”

Then, there was a childish voice with a bit of stubbornness: “My master lives here, let me in.” I got it.”

Menzi opened his mouth and was about to say something when he saw Bai Xiaochun. He hurriedly approached him with a flattering smile on his face and said respectfully, “Young manager, you are back.”

Bai Xiaochun waved his hand. Signaling him to step back.

When the disciples saw this, they didn’t dare to show any signs of neglect and stepped aside in a hurry.

“You are?”

Bai Xiaochun walked up to the little boy, feeling somewhat familiar.

Looking at him, he is dressed very luxuriously. He is definitely not a refugee. Why did he come to Fang Mansion to find a master for no reason?

When the child saw Bai Xiaochun, his bright eyes flashed, and he said loudly: “Brother Bai, I came to see my master, but he didn’t let me in!”

Brother Bai?

Bai Xiaochun was slightly startled, looking at the little boy’s delicate face, and kept searching for memories in his mind.

After a moment, he suddenly remembered that that day in the suburbs, the young master seemed to have indeed accepted a disciple.

He remembered that the apprentice seemed to have saved the young master’s life!

“It turns out to be Young Master Zhao. The little one is just a slave. Young Master Zhao calls me brother, which really hurts me.”

Bai Xiaochun showed a smile on his face, put the package in his arms on his back, and took the little boy’s hand. He said in a very gentle tone: “Sir, I will take you to see the young master, who is also your master.”

Seeing that he finally remembered him, the little boy showed joy on his face and followed Bai Xiaochun into the Fang Mansion.

Before crossing the threshold, he turned back and made a face at the door, which shocked the door.

But I am not afraid of a child’s grimace, but I am afraid that he will hate me.

After all, the person that the young manager respected so much, even if he was a child, Ye was definitely not something that his little disciple could mess with.

Seeing the young steward leading the little boy away gradually, Menzi regretted it endlessly and wished he could slap himself in the face.

Why was he so blind that he didn’t even recognize the young master’s apprentice?

Bai Xiaochun led Zhao Hao through the long corridor and into the courtyard. Fang Xiu had just woken up and was stretching in front of the door.

“Master, the saltpeter you ordered is here.”

Bai Xiaochun bowed his waist, took two steps closer, and gently placed the baggage on his back on the stone table, whispering.

Fang Xiu had just woken up and was a little confused. He glanced at the baggage and still didn’t react.

After a moment, he came back to his senses, thought about it, and ordered: “Go and get two more iron basins.”

“Yes.”

Bai Xiaochun looked back at the little boy and said, “Master, there is one more thing, Mr. Zhao. Here you go. “

Mr. Zhao? “

How do you know Mr. Zhao?

Fang Xiu was slightly startled, and suddenly he heard a childish voice coming from not far away, with a hint of excitement in his tone: “Master, I finally see you.”

Hearing the voice that was obviously a child’s, Fang Xiu suddenly Confused.

What the hell is Master?

Turning his head, he saw the little boy’s handsome face and reacted instantly.

It turned out to be him.

When he first accepted a disciple, it was just a whim. More than a month passed without hearing any news from his apprentice, and he had gradually forgotten about it.

If the little boy hadn’t saved him, he might have completely forgotten that he had such an apprentice.

Looking at the little boy’s excited face, the thrilling scene that day seemed to be vividly in front of his eyes.

Fang Xiu smiled and said, “I thought you forgot to be a teacher.”

The little boy walked up to Fang Xiu, knelt down, and said guiltily: “After I returned home, I always wanted to see the master, but I didn’t have the chance, so I delayed it until now. Master, please don’t blame me.”

Fang Xiu looked at him, Some were astonished.

At such a young age, he speaks like an adult.

If he hadn’t known that he didn’t understand gravity, he would have almost thought that he, like himself, had traveled from the earth.

Fang Xiu smiled, helped him up from the ground, patted the dust on his knees, and said with a smile: “Why do you have a chance now? Could it be that you escaped?”

Zhao Hao lowered his head when he heard his master’s words. not talking anymore.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he understood immediately.

This kid really escaped.

If his family knew about this, they would not be able to sue him for child abduction in Kyoto Prefecture.

Although one’s own reputation is not important, if someone’s family loses a child and still doesn’t know where it is, they should go crazy.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiu’s face darkened.

But then I thought about it, it was not easy for a half-year-old child to find himself here without telling his family.

So, looking at the little boy, he said: “Master knows that it is not easy for you to see Master once. Today, you are allowed to stay in Master’s house for half a day, and then Master will send you home.”

When Zhao Hao heard this, his little face He showed a stubborn look and said: “I want to learn the principles of heaven and earth and all things from my master. I don’t want to go back!”

Somehow

, Fang Xiu remembered the determined face of the little boy when he first met him.

Seemingly seeing his master’s expression loosen, the little boy added: “When I came to find my master, I left a letter telling my mother not to worry.”

These words sounded a bit like a rebellious young man who had run away from home. the meaning of.

There seems to be no difference.

Fang Xiu thought for a while and said, “Write another letter and send someone to deliver it to the master. Otherwise, your mother will never be relieved.”

After waving his hand, Bai Xiaochun immediately came over.

“Go and get my young master’s Four Treasures of the Study.”

“Yes, young master.”

Bai Xiaochun entered the room. Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Hao and asked, “Where is your home?”
