Chapter 33 Buying a Horse
After sending Zhang San and Lao Nian away, Chen Gu locked the door and went to Suan Xiucai's house. On the way, he bought a roast duck and then bought some malt sugar after thinking about it.

When he arrived at Suan Xiucai's house, the first person to greet him was Chen Ermei.

"Uncle Master!" The little guy was still waiting behind the door. After calling Uncle Master, he reached out for Chen Gu to hold him.

Chen Gui did not buy candy for the little girl every time he came, but even if Chen Gui did not bring any candy, the little girl still acted very close to Chen Gui. Not only did she wait for Chen Gui at the door every day, she would also go to the school room with him to study.

The sour scholar had no objection to this.

"I knew that my uncle would come today!" Chen Ermei said while hugging Chen Gu's neck.

Chen Gu hugged the little girl and asked, "Then guess whether the master uncle will come tomorrow?"

Chen Ermei rolled her eyes and asked, "Master, do you have anything else to do tomorrow?"

"It's true. Second sister is really smart." Chen Gu patted Second sister Chen on the back, then handed her the roast duck in his hand, "Give the things to mother-in-law first."

Chen Ermei's nose twitched, her eyes lit up, and she cheered, "It's roast duck, I can smell it, it smells so good!"

Since Liu Er was able to convince the sour scholar to teach him, Chen Gu felt that their relationship was not that simple.

"I was delayed yesterday!" Chen Gu had to explain. Although he didn't give a reason, he had to have the right attitude. "I probably won't have time to come over in the next few days. I have to do something with my master!"

Chen Gu first secretly gave the maltose to Chen Ermei before he began to take notes.

After a tiring day, I can always fall asleep easily, and my sleep quality is very good, and I sleep for a long time.

Suan Xiucai had heard the noise and came out. He did not blame Chen Gu for his absence yesterday, nor did he even ask any questions. He just said "I'm here" and led the way to the school room.

The sour scholar nodded, took a book of famous warnings from the bookshelf and handed it to Chen Gu, saying, "Learn as much as you can. You can read this book more often when you have nothing to do. You should be able to gain something from it!"

Chen Gu did not take the initiative to ask for help. After all, in his opinion, the Hundred Family Surnames mentioned by the Suan Scholar were enough for him to record and learn. No matter how many books he read, it would be useless if he did not learn them thoroughly.

"Thank you, sir, for the book!" Chen Gu took the book with both hands.

Liu Er did not say what the specific situation of Suan Xiucai's family was, when and why they fell into decline, or whether Suan Xiucai was a member of the Gelaohui at that time. Chen Gu did not ask any more questions.

However, judging from the fact that the sour scholar did not care about Chen Kui's affairs today, he should know what Liu Er was doing.

Although the Chen family's life was not very good, there was no need to keep a roast duck for guests. Having roast duck to eat tomorrow was naturally a happy thing. Although one roast duck was not much for a big family, it was good to be able to taste two pieces.

Chen Ermei took the roast duck and ran quickly to the main house.

Half an hour later, Chen Gu left the Chen family.

There were a lot of books in the private school, with hundreds of them on the bookshelf alone, but the sour scholar had never given a single one to Chen the Assassin.

Today we continue to talk about the Hundred Family Surnames. Just as Suan Xiucai started talking, Chen Ermei ran in and snuggled into Chen Gu's arms.

Of course, now is not the time to think about these things. After returning home, Chen Gu quickly fell asleep.

I go to bed around eight o'clock in the evening and wake up around six o'clock the next day. It is another day full of energy.

When Chen Gu opened the door, Zhang San and Lao Nian were already waiting outside.

"Come in first, where are the other three?" Chen Gu asked as he let the two in. "Still in the rented house!" Zhang San replied, "It's not good to have too many people together!"

It really wasn't a good look, especially when you were at the executioner's door.

Chen Gu nodded and gave a small ingot to Lao Nian, "Go buy some food, enough for ten people to eat for a day, and come find us in Niuma Market later!"

"Okay!" Lao Nian took the money with a smile, nodded to Chen Gu, and ran away.

One tael of silver is not a small amount. Even if it is divided among ten people, each person can get a hundred coins. In addition to buying enough staple food, he can also buy some meat. This shows that Chen Gu, the young leader, is a generous person. It is not a loss to follow such a person.

Chen Gu took Zhang San to the cattle and horse market to buy a carriage first, then gave the silver to Zhang San and asked him to buy ten mules and horses. He then drove the carriage home to get the explosives tanks and rifles.

When Chen Gu arrived at Niuma City again, Lao Nian and his men had also arrived there.

Chen Gu shook his head at them, stopped Lao Nian and others who wanted to come over to say hello, pointed in the direction of the city gate, and walked out with the carriage.

Not long after, a group of people met outside the city.

"Stop it!" Lao Nian brought his three brothers to pay their respects to Chen Gu.

Chen Gu clasped his fists and bowed, then asked with a smile, "What are your names?"

"Young Master, just call me Scar!" A gentle and clean-looking young man saluted and said with a smile.

Facing Chen Gu's puzzled look, Scar smiled a little embarrassedly, but Lao Nian explained: "Young Master, don't be fooled by the fact that this guy looks like a woman, he is actually a ruthless person.

He once fought a group of bullies with a bamboo carrying pole. He was stabbed five times on the chest but remained standing. He even killed three of the other bullies with the pole and scared away more than a dozen of them.

Lao Yao spent several taels of silver to rescue him, but after he was revived, he had five hideous scars on his chest, so he asked people to call him Scar.

Everyone has an unknown past. These former trackers have survived to this day because they have had some experiences, and most of them are too painful to look back on.

So Chen Gu didn't ask any more questions, just nodded to Scar, and then looked at the remaining two people.

"Just call me Sanlang, Master!" said a tall and thin young man.

Chen Gu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Workaholic?"

"It's almost the same, but still a little worse than Scar!" Sanlang nodded and smiled.

"Just call me Roadblock, Young Master!" said the last young man.

All three were very young, probably around twenty years old. What Chen Gu didn't understand was that judging from their nicknames, these three seemed to be violent people, so how could they be accepted by Lao Nian?
You know, Lao Nian’s sixth platoon is responsible for collecting intelligence.

"Okay, who among you can ride a horse and who can drive a car?" asked Chen Gu.

"I know a little bit about riding a horse, but as for driving a car, I'm the only one who knows a little bit." Lao Nian said.

"Then Lao Nian will drive the car, and the rest of us will ride horses. We will rush to the mountain stronghold as soon as possible to pick up the others, and then rush to meet up with Lao Yao!" Chen Gu said as he walked into the carriage first.

Chen Gu could ride a horse, but the explosives tanks in the carriage had to be watched by someone. If something went wrong by accident, it would be a big trouble.
