Sitting on the boat of the Hu family, although Xiao Hecao was wearing ordinary green clothes, the attitude of the people on the boat towards him was completely different. All the boatmen knew that Xiao Hecao was a disciple of Hu Yuan, and the Hu family
These boatmen know very well where the Hu family is. They are all sons and daughters of the Hu family. Under such circumstances, the attitude of the boatmen towards the little crane grass is really good and there is nothing to say.
Speaking of the captain of this ship, Xiao Hecao is also familiar with it. It is none other than Hu Quan. Hu Quan is still the captain of the Hu family. He is still driving the passenger ship of the Hu family, and now
There is no one else on this boat but Xiaohecao. From this point, we can also see Xiaohecao's status in the Hu family.
Of course, this is only on the surface. In fact, Xiaohecao is not the only person on the Hu family's boat, but there is also a member of the Hu family, and this person is Hu Xin.
Hu Xin is a young man from a branch of the Hu family. He met Xiao Hecao when he first entered the Hu family. At that time, he was still guarding the two Supertrees in the valley and the one in the castle.
, and there was a young man named Hu Hai with him. The two of them were not on family missions at the time.
Now that Hu Xin has left the army, he is regarded as the official combat planter of the Hu family. This time he has also taken over the family's mission, and his family's only mission is to secretly protect the little crane grass.
Hu Xin knew about the little crane grass. Hu Xianer valued the little crane grass so much at first, and later the little crane grass became Hu Yuan's disciple. Although now the little crane grass seems to have not learned about natural energy, Hu Xin knows
, it’s not that Hu Yuan doesn’t want to teach. It’s because he doesn’t teach for the sake of the safety of the little crane grass. From this point, we can see that the status of the little crane grass in Hu Yuan’s heart is based on the current status of the little crane grass.
, even Hu Xin would be polite when he saw him, so Hu Xin naturally did not dare to show any slightness. The family asked him to protect Xiaohecao secretly, so he did not dare to appear in Xiaohecao's sight.
.
Although Xiao Hecao felt that there was another person in the boat, he didn't think much about it. After all, this was the Hu family's passenger ship, and it was specially built for some core members of the Hu family. It was normal that there were people inside.
After Xiao Hecao got on the boat, he read in the cabin every day just like when he went to Hu's house, or practiced for a period of time below the cabin. He took a wooden knife with him, and this wooden knife was Hu Yuan's.
What was given to him looked like an ordinary wooden knife on the surface, but in fact, this wooden knife was made of ten thousand-year-old iron birch. It was not only stronger than fine steel, but also very heavy.
Xiao Hecao has been using this knife to refine her sword for the past year. Although this knife is not long, it is no different from an ordinary steel knife, and the appearance of this knife is very deceiving.
Hu Xin also paid attention to Xiaohecao when he was practicing his sword skills on the boat. When he saw Xiaohecao's swordsmanship, he was really surprised. Xiaohecao's swordsmanship didn't seem very special.
It's exquisite, but what he uses is very proficient. He has never seen anyone who can practice basic sword skills to this level.
After going through the knife skills, Xiaohecao practiced boxing and kicking for a while. Xiaohecao didn't have exposure to the boxing and kicking skills for a long time, but he was able to practice them well.
It takes about fifteen days to travel all the way from Lingshan City to Juyun City. This time Xiao Hecao went back home, but he was going upstream, so it took a little longer.
Moreover, the Hu family's boat is not an ordinary boat. There is a water wheel under the boat. This water wheel is designed so that as long as a handle is shaken under the cabin, the boat can move forward. They sent Xiao Hecao to the Hu family before.
At that time, we encountered Liu Ying's attack, and we had used this water wheel before, but at that time it was just to stabilize the ship, but this time it was to make the ship move forward.
In addition to controlling the wind direction, a boat going upstream must have its own power. There are many boats with large oars, and hand-cranked waterwheels like the Hu's are used throughout the world.
They are rare on large ships and are relatively high-end inland ships.
The hand-cranked waterwheel of the Hu family is composed of many gears. When shaking, it does not require much effort. If a person keeps shaking it, even an ordinary person will not be able to shake it.
I feel so tired, and it is impossible for one person to rock the boat all the time. In addition, the waterwheel is in the water, very hidden, and the speed of the boat is also very fast, so although the boat is going upstream,
It's all about speed but not very slow.
In about twenty days, the ship arrived at Juyun City. Xiao Hecao's destination was of course not Juyun City, but he wanted to stop here because he wanted to see his old disciple.
Lao Menzi is from the Liu family, and the Liu family is a wealthy family in Juyun City. Xiao Hecao and Lao Menzi have been exchanging letters in recent years. Lao Menzi is now one of the chief managers of the Liu family.
Belonging to the absolute core of power of the Liu family, it is even more prosperous than before.
This is partly due to Laomenzi's ability, and partly due to Xiaohecao. Laomenzi is Xiaohecao's godfather. Xiaohecao has now entered the Hu family and has become the disciple of the most famous elder of the Hu family. With this
With a first-level relationship, the Liu family can establish a relationship with the Hu family. In this case, the status of the old disciple in the Liu family will naturally be higher.
When the Hu family's boat arrived at Juyun City, it directly entered the Liu family's dock. This was already agreed upon. Xiao Hecao stood on the boat and looked at the Liu family's dock. He couldn't help but think of his first time.
The situation when he arrived at Juyun City was that he came on a cargo ship. The cargo ship was attacked in the Wuling River and almost sank. At that time, the old man came to pick him up at the dock, and there were people beside him.
I followed that little girl Yu'er, and I don't know how that girl is doing now.
The boat slowly approached the pier. Xiao Hecao took a look at the pier and found that there were many people at Liu's pier. He saw an old man and a figure in the distance. When he saw that figure, Xiao Hecao
Cao Cao's eyes couldn't help but become moist for a while, because that figure was none other than Lao Menzi.
The boat came to rest and the gangplank was lowered from the boat. Xiaohecao walked off the boat, while Hu Quan followed Xiaohecao like a servant.
Xiao Hecao actually respects Hu Quan very much, because Hu Quan is a son of the Hu family. He is also very trusted by the Hu family. Even core members of the Hu family like Hu Xianer have to call him Brother Quan, Xiao
Naturally, Hecao would not put on airs in front of Hu Quan. He still called Hu Quan Uncle Quan as before.
But Hu Quan was very polite to Xiaohecao. Hu Quan had a higher status than other boatmen on the ship. He naturally knew more about the Hu family's affairs. He was very clear about Xiaohecao's status in the Hu family. Although this
For the past two years, the little crane grass has been quiet. But Hu Quan is very clear that as soon as the little crane grass comes out of the mountain, he will immediately become a core member of the Hu family, because the Hu family has completely become a core member of the Hu family in the past two years.
He was cultivating Xiaohecao according to the standards of core members. No one knew this better than him. Naturally, he did not dare to take advantage of Xiaohecao.
As soon as Xiao Hecao stepped off the pier, an old man came up to him. As soon as Xiao Hecao saw the old man, he immediately rushed towards the old man, hugged the old man and said: "Grandpa Men, you miss me so much."
."
Lao Menzi gently patted Xiao Hecao's back and said, "Okay, baby, be good. Don't cry. You are already a young man. Don't cry." Xiao Hecao nodded in Lao Menzi's arms.
, but the tears couldn't stop flowing out.
It took a while for Xiao Hecao to calm down. He let go of Lao Menzi and looked at Lao Menzi carefully. He found that Lao Menzi's face was still very good. He nodded and said: "Grandpa, you have been here for the past two years."
How are you doing? I miss you so much, Baoer."
The old man's old face was already smiling. He said with a smile: "Grandpa, how are you? Grandpa misses you too. By the way, look who this is, do you still know him?" After saying that, he turned around and pointed at him.
Two young men behind him.
Xiao Hecao was stunned when he saw these two people, and then he couldn't help but smile and said: "Seventh Young Master, Men Qing, I didn't expect that Seventh Young Master was at home. What's wrong? Didn't Seventh Young Master study at Daojun Pavilion?"
When Liu Renli saw that Xiao Hecao was so polite to him, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Hecao, you are back, how could I not come to pick you up? You don't know, brother, I have already learned from Daojun Pavilion."
I have been here for several years, and I am about to graduate and go home recently. I just happened to get familiar with the situation in the family. Well, as soon as I heard that you were back, I ran here to greet you, brother."
Even though Liu Renli and Xiao Hecao were very familiar with each other back then, Liu Renli seems to be even more affectionate now. After Xiao Hecao's two years of study, he has understood a lot of things. He knows that Liu Renli is so polite to him not just because of them.
We were familiar with him before, not because he was an old disciple, but because he was Hu Yuan's disciple.
However, Xiao Hecao didn't have any objection. He still had a good feeling towards Liu Renli, so he also smiled and said: "So that's it. When I wrote letters to Sister Xian'er in the past few years, she also mentioned it
You, I heard that Young Master Seventh is quite famous in Daojun Pavilion, and your reputation for lightning swords is very good."
Liu Renli smiled and said: "I didn't expect that Miss Xian'er could mention me. This is my honor. But the lightning knife is just a false name. It can't be taken seriously. When it comes to Brother Hecao, you don't want it."
You called me Seventh Young Master. If you think highly of me, how about calling me big brother?"
In the past few years, Xiao Hecao often went to free clinics and got along well with Hu Ding. Naturally, he also learned how to deal with others. So when he heard what Liu Renli said, he also smiled and said: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful. Then I will
I’ll call you Brother Renli, Brother Renli, I came to Juyun City this time just to see grandpa, but you are so polite."
As soon as Liu Renli heard Xiao Hecao calling him Brother Renli, he immediately said with a happy face: "Yes, you come to see Uncle Men. As the eldest brother, I must entertain you well no matter what, brother, you are here
How about staying here for a few more days?”
When Xiao Hecao heard what he said, she couldn't help but said in embarrassment: "What about this? I'm afraid I don't have much time. This time, Master mainly gave me a family leave and asked me to go home and see my family.
I will start my formal training after I go back, so I can’t stay here for too long, I can only stay for about two days, Brother Renli, please forgive me.”
Liu Renli couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard what Xiao Hecao said. He knew very well that Xiao Hecao was not yet ten years old, and the Hu family would start to let him practice formally at this time. This shows his talent.
It really impressed the Hu family. He immediately said: "Practice is important. When you succeed in practice, brother, you can come to the Liu family and spend a few days. I wonder who this is?" After saying this, Liu Renli kept looking at him.
Hu Quan stood beside Xiao Hecao but said nothing. He knew Hu Quan's clothes and knew that he was from the Hu family, but he didn't know who Hu Quan was.
Hu Quan immediately bowed to Liu Renli and said: "Hu Quan has met Mr. Liu. I am the captain of the Hu family's Greenland. This time I was ordered to take Master Hecao home. On this way, Hu Quan is not Master Hecao."
Servant."
When they heard what Hu Quan said, Liu Renli and his old disciples were shocked. Although they had never heard of Hu Quan's name, they had heard of the Luyin number. The Luyin number was one of the important names of the Hu family.
One of the passenger ships, which could not be used by non-core members of the Hu family, was now dispatched to send the little crane grass home. From this point, it can be seen how much the Hu family attaches importance to the little crane grass. Hu
The family has already cultivated Xiaohecao as a core member!
After figuring this out, Liu Renli naturally did not dare to neglect him. He immediately cupped his fists at Hu Quanyi and said, "This will help Brother Hu. We must take good care of Brother Hecao."
Hu Quan clasped his fists and said, "I dare not accept Master Liu's gift. This is Hu Quan's job." After saying that, he stopped making a sound and stood quietly behind Xiao Hecao. It was obvious that he had no idea about his identity.
, the grasp is still very good.
At this time, the old man said: "Seventh Young Master, let's talk at home. It's inconvenient to stand here at the dock. We can't miss the work here at the dock." At this time, he was the only one who dared to say such words.
, after all, Xiaohecao has the highest status among the people here now, and he is Xiaohecao's godfather. No one will have any objection to him saying such words.
Xiao Hecao smiled and said: "Yes, brother Renli, I will also go to Liu's house to visit Uncle Liu. I heard from Grandpa Men that Uncle Liu has helped people in the village a lot over the years. Hecao must thank him in person.
Only Uncle Liu can do it."
When Liu Renli heard what Xiao Hecao said, he was already happy. He was really happy for his original decision now, so he immediately said: "Brother Hecao, you are too polite. Why don't you thank me?"
Yes, you and my brother, I should take care of my uncle and the others, but it’s not a good idea to talk here all the time. Brother, let’s talk about it when we get home. The food has been prepared at home and is waiting for you. Come on, let’s get in the car.
.”
Xiao Hecao was not polite. Before going out, Hu Ding told him that this time he went out to represent the Hu family, so he must be careful when talking and doing things. He also told Xiao Hecao some things he should pay attention to.
Something needs to teach the little crane grass how to deal with this kind of situation, so the little crane grass behaves like this.
Liu Renli did not ride a horse today, but took a car with Xiao Hecao. Sitting with him was Lao Menzi. After getting on the car, Liu Renli gave up the seat to Xiao Hecao. He and Lao Menzi were on the left and one on the left.
The companion on the right is sitting in the car. Xiao Hecao did not let the old disciple sit in the chief seat. In any case, the old disciple is a son of the Liu family. If he was allowed to take the chief position, it would only make things difficult for him. (To be continued.
