Chapter 3 Money and Talent (Part 2)

Chen Hao came out in the morning and drank water, and ate nothing, but kept fighting. He just learned about the situation and forgot to be hungry. Now he is about to start rushing. He suddenly feels hungry and weak all over. He asked Luo Jun, the leader of more than 50 strong men, for some dry food, and then swept it clean with the water, and then he became a little energetic.

When he arrived by the river, Chen Hao asked Luo Jun and Song Sicheng to arrange for everyone to take turns to take a bath in the river and prepare for food and accommodation. He asked Luo Jun for a short suit and soap kettle, and found a place with many trees to take a bath. The smell of blood on his body was too strong, and the blood stuck to his face and hands were frozen, which made him extremely unhappy.

After washing for half an hour, I felt clean and refreshed. I got up and changed my clothes, washed my camouflage uniform, and walked towards the camp. After walking dozens of steps, I saw Xia Xingyu and his two companions scattered in the place where he was taking a bath. Seeing that Chen Hao came out, they all came up to me. Xia Xingyu also handed over a few fruits and took Chen Hao's clothes over.

Seeing that their bodies were covered with blood, Chen Hao just wiped his face but didn't go to take a shower. He nodded while eating fruits, and asked, "You guys are so old, each of them will report their age and names."

Xia Xingyu first replied: "The villain is 21 years old!" Another one looked very excited and replied loudly: "The villain is named Liu Liang, 20 years old!" The last one seemed very shy, but he tried his best to improve his voice and answer: "The villain is named Chen Xiang, and he is also 20 years old this year!"

After they finished their answer, Xia Xingyu said again: "The three of us are the best in our Zhuang, and only the three of us can climb out of the back mountain of Zhuangzi."

When I returned to the camp, it was already dark. Everything in the camp was well organized. Two camp tents were set up, and more than ten piles of dry firewood were set up to light up. Several large pots of rice and horse meat were set up. The aroma of rice and meat was filled with fragrance. The fragrance blew with the wind made Xia Xingyu and the others roar without competing.

Chen Hao said to the three of them: "You three also take clean clothes and wash them, otherwise you will not have enough fighting power tomorrow if you can't sleep well at night. After washing, you will come back to have a meal." The three of them left in response.

At this time, Luo Jun and Song Sicheng came up. They didn't go to take a shower. They were always making arrangements and busy. Since Chen Hao's face was covered with blood when they saw Chen Hao, they had never seen Chen Hao's true face yet.

At this time, Chen Hao was blunt with a buzz cut, a bronze face, a flat appearance, a straight waist, and about 1.75 meters tall. He looked gentle and generous, approachable, and no matter how he looked, he could not associate him with the previous killer god. If he hadn't just seen Xia Xingyu and the other two follow him, both of them would not have believed that the young man in front of him had killed hundreds of natives and saved their benefactors.

Seeing that they kept looking at him, Chen Hao couldn't help but smile and said, "Why, I didn't know each other after leaving for a while. Don't look at him. Just like the three of them, go wash and come back to have a meal."

Hearing Chen Hao's voice, they were convinced that this person was really Chen Hao. They called two 30-year-old men and asked them to take Chen Hao to the prepared camp to rest, and then gave a greeting before they went to collect their clothes and take a bath.

At this time, except for the guards and those who did not come back to take a shower, they all came to salute Chen Hao. There was a young man who was only in his 20s. After saluting Chen Hao, he asked timidly: "Sir, you are so young and don't look fierce at all, not powerful at all. How can you kill the natives so easily? I have only killed three people all the way."

When Chen Hao heard what he said was interesting, he said to him: "Would I have to cut a few times on my face, get a few scars, and then stick a beard on my face to make me look amazing!"

Seeing that Chen Hao was not unhappy at all and even joked with him, the little Zhuangren became bolder and asked again: "Sir, can you teach me your abilities? If I had the abilities of you, my family would not have been killed."

"Bold! You can't learn the skills of yourselves! Go aside quickly." A strong man behind Chen Hao was afraid that the young man would be scolded and scolded by Chen Hao, so he hurriedly scolded him.

Xiao Zhuangdeng was about to leave with grievance, but Chen Hao called him and said to him: "What's your name? All the family members were killed by the natives?" Xiao Zhuangdeng's eyes showed a deep hatred, and he blushed and couldn't speak.

The stern man who had scolded him before sighed and said, "He was Yang Hu. Three years ago, his family members were killed. After being taken in by Mr. Luo, he practiced martial arts hard every day to avenge his family. As a result, the old revenge has not been avenged and new revenge has been added. Today, even a good man like Mr. Luo has been killed. If the adults had not appeared in time, we would have lost our lives."

Speaking of this, these Chinese who have been crying all the way and seeing life and death are silent. Chen Hao sighed and said, "Learning my abilities requires a lot of hardship. If anyone of you wants to learn, I will teach you, and I will teach you greater abilities! Can you endure hardship?"

After hearing Chen Hao say that he could teach them, everyone's eyes were bright, and Yang Hu even knelt on the ground with a thunderous sound, saying, "Sir, don't be afraid of death, are you still afraid of hardship? Yang Hu's life is originally an adult, but now he still has to teach Master Meng. I, Yang Hu, will never repay the kindness of my elders in this life, and I, Yang Hu, will be a cow and a horse for you in the next life!"

Chen Hao was so upset when he saw that they always knelt down at any time. He was determined to wait until the stability was settled and he must change this bad habit.

After chatting for a while, a strong man came over to invite Chen Hao to have a meal. Chen Hao knew that according to the etiquette of this era, if they did not move, they would not eat first even if they were hungry, and they would not be pretentious. They stood up and followed the strong man to the place where they were eating.

At this time, Luo Jun and Song Sicheng were chatting while washing. Song Sicheng was telling Luo Jun that Chen Hao was going to take over Nanyang. Although Luo Jun looked a bit rough and generous, he was actually smart and meticulous.

After Song Sicheng finished speaking, he asked, "Brother Jun, what do you think of sir?"

Luo Jun said in admiration: "Sicheng, God bless me overseas Chinese! With such a person who comes to help us and other overseas Chinese, and is holding the flag of the country, why worry about the big things going to happen! I am afraid that the Western devils, the guns and cannons in their hands are not something that humans can resist. However, since the adults say they want to buy powerful guns and cannons that we can't imagine, it means that he has made a long time to make a successful decision. Although I don't know where he will buy them, I believe he can do what he says."

Song Sicheng nodded and said, "I believe him too! Brother Jun, my family is only my 11-year-old brother, and my parents, wife and children are killed. Whether for public or private, I will do my best to help the adults! I am going to leave enough money and give all the others to the adults. In the past, our family kept the money too strong, only knowing how to save money, not knowing how to develop power and force, so it is so difficult."

Luo Jun shook his head slightly and replied: "Even if we have all our strength to develop our force, but there are no strong enough people coming to command the overall situation, they will still fail in the end because of power and profit. The Lanfang Republic did not organize tens of thousands of troops, and many officers were from the British and French Army Academy. In the end, they were eliminated by the Dutch because of disunity. Moreover, the Western devils were strong and powerful, and well-trained, and could defeat hundreds of thousands of troops of the Qing Dynasty with just a few thousand people. It was really difficult to deal with!"

Song Sicheng nodded and agreed: "It's better for Brother Jun to analyze it. Now that a strong hero like an adult appears, he should be able to lead us to create a good situation soon. It's best to succeed. Even if he fails in the end, he will not be able to do things with such a person in vain!"

Luo Jun raised his fist and smashed it hard into the water, stirring up a flood of water, and said angrily: "Westerns and natives slaughter us like this. If we don't resist and revenge, how can we have the attitude to see our dead relatives after death? Good brother, you are right. This time, our five families came out, and only two of us were left. The other three tribes have suffered, leaving only five children. The money of their three tribes is now kept by me. Now the adults have saved all of us, so I plan to leave 100,000 taels of silver for them each, and all the others are dedicated to the adults!"

Song Sicheng nodded and said, "Okay, it's not a good thing for a few children to have so much money. Without adults, they would die long ago, and they were afraid that they would give all the money to adults. When they grow up in the future, they would complain, which would affect their reputations at that time."

Luo Jun said angrily: "They dare! If they are so ungrateful, I will personally send them to see their parents!"

Song Sicheng said: "Maybe I think I'm left. They are still so young now, and I don't know how much money they have in their family. And now they still need us to raise them. When they grow up, they shouldn't be ignorant of advancing and retreating!"

Hearing the raising, Luo Jun's mind flashed and he smiled and said, "I have a good idea. As long as we ask the adults to accept a few of them as adopted sons and daughters, we can justify their money to the adults!"

Song Sicheng also praised him very much, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Brother Jun has many ideas, so no one can say anything. It's really the best of both worlds. I envy these children!"

The two agreed to make it happen, and after going back to have a meal, they sorted out the silver notes and checks, and led the three boys and two girls to Chen Hao's tent together.

Chen Hao was talking to Xia Xingyu to learn about the details of Qingyuan Village. Chen Xiang, Liu Liang and Luo Jun arranged two strong men outside the tent. They were surprised to see the two leading five children over here.

The two of them handed the child to the two men to take care of him. After entering the camp to salute Chen Hao, Luo Jun handed the cloth bag in his hand and said, "Sir, we have to do big things with the adults now. We will be in danger of life at any time. It is useless for us to keep the external things in the bag ourselves. I hope that the adults can make good use of them."

Chen Hao opened it and saw that it was all silver notes and checks, many times more than Xia Xingyu had. He refused and asked, "I am very pleased that you have such a heart! In this way, I will be more confident in our career! I won't count it. Tell me how many there are, so that I can have a number."

Luo Jun replied: "Sir, there are more than 8.6 million taels of silver notes, 3.5 million US dollars, and 1.3 million pounds. In addition, we have a reluctant request, and I hope you can accept it."

Chen Hao nodded and said, "Tell me! As long as it is not too difficult, I will agree." After giving such a large amount of wealth, it would be strange if he didn't ask for anything.

So Song Sicheng talked about the child. Chen Hao didn't expect that they still made a request for others, and he couldn't help but look up to the two of them again.

The two asked the strong men outside to bring in a few children and asked them to kowtow to Chen Hao, calling them Chen Hao's adoptive father in the future. Chen Hao was also very happy to see that the children were all very cute, so he asked them to call him his father in the future.
