Chapter 1297: Tiger
Later, the young and green Hu Zi became the most capable general under the King of Yan. He was the object of flattery and fear by many people. Even the court officials had to give him some face when he went out.
But at the beginning, he was just a starving child.
A group of people huddled in a cave with nothing to eat. They could only gnaw on wild grass and tree bark every day. Occasionally they could have a good meal, but it had to be robbed.
When Zhou Guo appeared in front of him for the first time, he felt like a fat sheep had arrived. With the outfit and this deal, he wouldn't have to worry about food and drink for a long time.
But he didn't expect that this seemingly small person was not weak at all in terms of momentum. Just one look from him made him feel a little guilty. He thought it was an illusion at first.
It was not until he became a servant of the Zhou family and her follower that he realized that it was not an illusion, but that everyone had that kind of aura.
Later on, he also developed this kind of aura, which was a natural result of killing people and being in a high position for a long time. People without this experience could never learn it.
Having said that, their good days have come since they signed the Zhou family's death contract.
Not only could he have enough food and clothes to eat, but he could also eat meat and wear good cotton-padded clothes, and even learn to read. This was something he never expected.
Learning to read was taught by his master himself. Even when he was at home, his family couldn't send him to learn. It was something he wanted to do even in his dreams at night.
It actually happened here?
Hu Zi looked at Zhou Guo standing in front of him and giving them a lecture in a daze. She was so young, even younger than him, but she knew so much, everything.
There seemed to be a layer of light around her when she was giving a lecture. She didn't even need to look at the things in the book, she could talk about so much in one breath like flowing water.
He was deeply attracted by this thing and vowed to learn it from now on.
He studied very hard and was one of the best students among them.
Of course, once they learn to read, they will start working.
Zhou Guo was doing big business at that time, at least that was what Hu Zi thought at that time.
If he studies well, he can share her worries, maybe even become a manager, then he can earn more every month, and even eating meat every day will no longer be a dream.
Because he was good at studying and had a smart mind, it was easy for him to become a small manager at this time.
He often followed his master out to discuss business and sell mushrooms. Once he understood the process, his master would let him go on his own.
It was the first time that the young Hu Zi received such an important task as delivering mushrooms alone. He was very excited for a while. He knew that this was just the beginning. If he did well, his master would give him more things to do.
So this thing must be done well. If it is done wrong, there will be no future.
As expected, the job was completed smoothly and Hu Zi breathed a sigh of relief.
From then on, he received more and more tasks, and they became bigger and bigger...
He tried his best to complete every task assigned to him, and sometimes he had to use some tricks. Over time, everyone was afraid of him.
But the master has such a big business and has to support so many people. If he didn't use some special means, he would have been in a lot of trouble.
For the sake of his master and such a large industry, this measure is necessary. He thinks it is worth it even at any cost.
In this way, Hu Zi became the chief steward and Zhou Guo's right-hand man.
He can do everything, and in some aspects, he is even better than Wu Jiang. From his youth to now, he has become very capable.
He was so powerful that his subordinates would tremble when they heard the three words "General Manager Hu".
It's a pity that such a capable person never got married in his entire life.
Wu Jiang asked, "You're not young anymore, and you don't have any problems with that. Why don't you want to get married and leave a child for your family? Without a child, what will happen when you get old? What will happen when you die? Wouldn't your family's lineage be cut off in your generation?"
Hu Zi said nonchalantly, "Brother, I don't even know my last name. Even if I have a child, I don't know which family it will be passed down from. What's the point? Besides, someone like me, who has done so many bad things, is destined not to have children. lest the retribution of my deeds come to my child, and he bear the brunt of my sins."
Wu Jiang disagreed. "How could you have done too much harm? He deserved it. Why do you think that?"
Hu Zi said, "Don't worry about it. This is how I'm going to live my life. I think it's fine this way. It's the same as my master. She also said that she will never marry. As a steward, I can follow my master and no one will say anything."
He didn't worry about his future at all. He had earned enough in this life. Would he be unable to find a few servants to serve him when he got old?
Wu Jiang sighed deeply, looked at him and said, "You, there are some things that people like us can't even dream of."
Hu Zi was silent for a moment, then met his eyes without dodging or avoiding them, and replied, "I know, I think I did a good job."
It’s really good. Even though I have such thoughts, I have never shown them, nor do I dare to show them.
Wu Jiang sighed in his heart. It was not surprising to fall in love with such a person. There were countless people who liked her, but there was really no one who could stay single for his entire life like Hu Zi.
I don’t know whether it is Hu Zi’s fortune or misfortune.
How could Hu Zi feel that he was unfortunate?
As long as he could see her, he felt that there was nothing more beautiful in the world.
He still has self-awareness. He thinks that others are immortals in heaven, while he is like a rat in a stinky ditch, and dares not have any thoughts at all.
As long as he could work under her and share her worries in this life, it would be his greatest happiness.
