Chapter 65 Expedition to the West (Accepting retainers)
The sight was full of broken branches and roots, and those crazy snake trees seemed to have had their life energy completely drained, leaving only a place of decay.
I took off the aircraft on my back and saw that it was "Made Inus". I couldn't help but sigh, it would be great if it was "Made in China". When I traveled through time, China's manufacturing capabilities were already the best in the world, especially high-end products like this.
With quality assurance, there will never be such defective products that break after just one use.
I patted my injured thigh, and then I realized that there was actually a circle of leeches hanging on my injured leg. These leeches were all dead. The originally fat leeches had become deflated. I don’t know why.
He picked off the leeches one by one, shook his thigh a few times, and found that his injured leg was completely healed.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) knew that leeches have the function of stopping bleeding and restoring muscles, but he did not expect that these mutated leeches would be so magical. If he had known about it, he would not have blown them up. This is a good medicine given by God. He did not expect that he would be killed like this.
Gone.
"Dafoe, where are you?"
Looking around, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) did not see a dead body, let alone a living person. It would be strange that these people would disappear out of thin air.
After traveling five miles to the east, there was nothing; after traveling five miles to the south, I saw that the horses I had brought were eating beans behind a sand dune there, but there was still no one; and then I traveled west.
Less than three miles away, I saw Dafoe and many soldiers lying neatly in a big sand pit, sleeping soundly. Although there were only more than 400 people, at least Dafoe was still there.
It was a great blessing among misfortunes. Baoyu's heart was bleeding, these were his brothers.
They are all neatly coded here, what's going on?
I woke up one by one, not knowing what happened, not knowing why I was in this sandpit, and even falling asleep.
This is a difficult mystery. No one can tell the reason. Is this another miracle?
The soldiers started kowtowing again and again. Damn it, I want to kowtow to everyone now. It’s so fucking brain-burning.
The way Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) dealt with brain-burning things in later generations was to let him go. Didn't a great man in later generations say, "Don't be anxious, let things go first."
Many things are like this. There is no answer at the time. As long as you let it go, as time goes by, you will either have the answer or forget it. No matter which way it is, things will pass. This is how things in the world are.
Dafoe has already fallen in love with this little twelve-year-old Mr. Jia. Only this little Mr. Jia can risk his own life to save them. This is completely beyond the scope of being a leader. But Mr. Dafoe does not
You know, Lord Dafoe and these soldiers don't know, "Don't give up, don't give up." This is the first lesson our special forces in the army learn.
Such a good boss, what are you waiting for?
Master Dafu took the lead and walked to Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi), squatted down and saluted with his fists, then cut his thumb with a knife and dripped blood on Baoyu's boots. This was strange. Could it be that they really
Do you want to praise me as a "god"? In Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi)'s mind, he would only use this trick when offering sacrifices to gods.
Seeing the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Baoyu really couldn't bear to interrupt them. I had really become their "god".
There was no God in this world, but with too much worship, some people became gods.
"I have become their god! It's not bad to become a god..."
Just when Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) was lusting after, Lord Dafu approached Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi), led everyone to half-kneel in front of Baoyu and said, "Greetings to the head of the family."
After saying that, he and his four hundred soldiers knelt down together and kowtowed three times.
What on earth is going on? When did I become the head of your family again?
Lord Dafoe looked serious and said: "Just now all of us dedicated our most noble blood to you. From today on, you are our most noble head of the family, we are your retainers, and we are your life. Even if it is
Death, only after we have died will it be your turn, head of the family."
"This... Mr. Dafoe, can you make it clearer?"
"That is to say, from now on, we are your people in life and your ghosts in death. We will accompany you in life and death and will never be separated."
This is a bit outrageous. How can it be like the "life and death love between men and women" in later generations?
But he didn't dare to say anything, because no one would take this as a joke at a time like this. Being a retainer means entrusting your life to the person who is the head of the family. This is the greatest trust.
"What virtues and abilities do I, Baoyu, have for you to entrust me with like this for the rest of my life?"
They helped them up one by one and hugged them one by one. It was their own lives. It was impossible for people not to cherish their own lives.
This is the biggest touch, because Baoyu knows that men in this world who regard their promises as their lives will bet their entire lives, including the lives of their entire family, including their descendants, on themselves. How big is this?
The trust and commitment of Baoyu. At the same time, this is also a responsibility of Baoyu, because now the fate of these people is closely connected with himself, and he can't mess around, he has to be responsible for these more than 400 men.
"From today on, you are half the masters of the Fuguizi Mansion. You can be half the masters of the Fuguizi Mansion! Although my Fuguizi Mansion has not yet established a mansion, I will definitely open it as soon as I return to the capital...
…”
"Open the government and establish the system, open the government and establish the system!"
Looking at the men standing next to him, Baoyu was filled with emotion. He never imagined that he, "Baoyu", had changed from a wealthy idler to such a busy man.
Mount your horses and gallop southward in unison. This is a good time to run wildly.
"Hoo hoo ho", one person shouted, and four hundred people responded. There was a momentum of thousands of horses galloping here. This momentum infected everyone, and the roar of the crowd shook the entire desert.
This was a kind of venting, but also a kind of self-improvement. Only 400 people came back out of 6,000 people. This was a "tragic victory".
Under the command of Madman Xing, the factory has begun to recover and rebuild. Four hundred people rushed into the camp, and thunderous applause and shouts rang out all around.
Accompanying Madman Xing was Lord Obai. Lord Obai was looking at the thumbs of the men who had dismounted from their horses, all of which were wrapped with small pieces of hemp.
While counting, Master Aobai said to Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi): "Okay, kid, you have to accept retainers at this age. Four hundred retainers, that's awesome!"
"It's all because of everyone's flattery. Lord Dafoe, I will never agree to it, life or death."
"Hahaha, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it... This is your business, I won't get involved... When you become the head of the family, you have to pay them a salary. At this time, the money they get from you is not called wages, it is called salary.
Do you understand what I mean? It means you are no longer alone..."
Hey, with great power comes great responsibility. This is life, and it is the same in this world.
At this time, a soldier ran over and whispered something in the little master's ear, and Madman Xing hurried away without even saying hello.
(What exactly happened to Little Master Xing Crazy, please see the next chapter for the breakdown.)
