Chapter 9 The Situ Family

"Old man, do you know Situ Enze?" Liya listened to the shopkeeper's tone as if she was familiar with Situ Enze and asked curiously.

"My son is one of those more than fifty swordsmen. Their brothers have a good relationship. Do you think I can be unfamiliar with it?" The shopkeeper said sadly.

"So, in order to commemorate their more than fifty heroes, they put their statues on the entrance square, right?" Seeing the shopkeeper's sad past, Elisa staggered the topic with the statue she saw in the square.

"That's right!" The shopkeeper said proudly, "There is also my son's share in it, and I'm proud of him."

"What does that have to do with the dung beety outside?" Valia pointed to the Huayi teenager who was smashing the stall outside and said, "Is he still the son of Situ Enze?"

"Ha ha, you really got it. Situ Enze had a daughter before he died. After his death, his wife gave birth to another son. When he gave birth to this son, he died in childbirth. This son has never seen his parents, and everyone in his family treats him like a treasure.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but they didn't expect that the hero father had such a son.

"This is what many people want but can't get. Why do you say he is pitiful?" Li Qiang remembered that the shopkeeper said he was pitiful, so he asked his doubts.

"The child has heard rumors about his father from people around him since he was a child. His family has high hopes for him and helps him become a hero. He also wants to be a hero like his father. But it's a trick! As the son of a talented swordsman, he can't practice martial arts due to physique problems, and can't even feel the magic elements. He consulted all the famous tutors nearby, but said that there was nothing he could do. His family also sent him to the best college in Dishuites to study, hoping that there would be a way to solve his problem, but there was still no progress in a year. In the magic continent, if you don't know magic or martial arts, you will be laughed at. Therefore, others have always called him "Magic Warrior Abandoned Man", and the title of "Magic Warrior Abandoned Man" made him very uncomfortable. What embarrass him even more is that he has a heroic father, and others always compare him with his father. Don't you think he is pitiful?"

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper sighed again and then said, "Look, he is doing a bad thing by smashing people's stalls now. In fact, this is just a superficial phenomenon. Every smashed stall, after returning home, the Situ family will compensate its owner, and it is more than the value of the smashed goods. Many poor people in our small town have received such assistance, so many people specially take out things and wait for him to smash them.

"Then if he wants to help the poor, he can also help the poor in another way, can't he just help them directly?" Ling Hao couldn't help asking the shopkeeper.

"In his opinion, being a good person is easy to be forgotten, and being a bad person is easy to be remembered. He can't be a hero like his father. If he is remembered, then he will be a bad person that can't be forgotten." The shopkeeper shook his head with a wry smile, "This is the time when he drank in the inn and said it after he was drunk. What a stupid child. In order to be remembered, he comes to Enze City every once in a while to do some pranks.

Hearing these words, everyone has a new understanding of Situ Yinghao, and they feel that he is really pitiful. During the conversation, Situ Yinghao came to the door of the teahouse and saw Ling Hao and his party. His eyes lit up, so he no longer care about the stall people and walked straight to Ling Hao and the others.

Seeing Situ Yinghao walking towards a group of girls, he suddenly remembered the sound of discussion on the street.

"Why didn't Master Situ smash the shop? Instead, he went to find a girl. Is Master Situ interested in robbing people's women now?

What was surprising was that Situ Yinghao ignored the four beautiful women in front of him. Instead, he went to Ling Hao and knelt down and shouted, "Your benefactor, please accept me!" I want to learn martial arts from you.

Looking at the familiar teenager in front of him, Ling Hao didn't remember for a moment and asked, "Are you? It seems that we haven't met before."

"I've seen it. Two days ago, by a small river, you saved me from a group of killers in black. At that time, you left in a hurry without leaving your name. I have been looking for you and finally found you. Please be sure to teach me martial arts. Seeing Ling Hao's puzzled face, Situ Yinghao explained.

Listening to Situ Yinghao's words, Ling Hao remembered that this was the teenager he rescued when he took in the two days ago because he couldn't stand Liya's pleas and took in the two daughters of Alisa and Nia. When he was in a bad mood, he left the team and went out for a walk. "Get up, I won't accept you."

"Please take me as an apprentice, or I won't be able to get up." Situ Yinghao's attitude towards teaching a teacher is very resolute.

The experience of Situ Yinghao has made the girls sympathize with him very much. Seeing that he has a firm heart to learn martial arts, they have persuaded Ling Hao to accept Situ Yinghao's request to become a teacher.

After listening to the introduction of the shopkeeper, Ling Hao himself had a good evaluation of Situ Yinghao. In addition, he was a little relaxed in his heart, so he took a closer look at Situ Yinghao. He was about 17 years old. He was also handsome, but he had a little sense of vicissitudes. His dark eyes were very flexible. At first glance, he was a clever person, which did not look like A bad guy.

Ling Hao was satisfied with him, so he asked, "It's hard to learn martial arts. Can you stick to it?"

"No, I will definitely stick to it." Situ Yinghao replied happily when he heard that Ling Hao's tone was relaxed.

"Well, I'll accept you. If you can't do what I asked, don't blame me for removing you." Ling Hao said sternly.

"Yes, Master." Situ Yinghao replied confidently.

"I think you are not much younger than me. Don't call me Master, just call me big brother." Ling Hao said angrily.

"Yes, Master, no, big brother." Situ Yinghao said with joy.

The episode of the apprenticeship did not dispel the enthusiasm of the women for shopping. At sunset, after shopping, the group returned to the inn. The four women commanded Situ Yinghao's entourage to put the purchased goods into the girl's room, while Li Qiang sat aside drinking tea desperately to replenish water.

Ling Hao just entered the door of the inn and received a note handed over by the shopkeeper. It turned out that it was the middle-aged man in the mercenary regiment that had been in the previous conflict who invited him to talk. Ling Hao smiled and walked to the table of the middle-aged man who had been sitting.

When he came to the other party's table, the middle-aged man immediately stood up and said happily, "My name is Bonifers. I'm the employer of the mercenary regiment who clashed with you today. It's nice to meet you. What's your name?"

"Ling Hao."

After exchanging names, Ling Hao asked directly, "What's the matter with you looking for me? Say it."

For Ling Hao's directness, Boniface, who had not yet figured out how to speak, was obviously a little unprepared and quickly changed the topic and said, "Sit down, you sit down first, let's sit down and talk slowly."

When Ling Hao sat down, Bonifes also made up his mind and said, "We want to ask you to be my bodyguards, so that you can protect me and my goods all the way and get to the castle of Dishuites safely."

"How did you think of hiring us as bodyguards?" Ling Hao asked.

"After the chief bodyguard I invited was defeated by you, he left the team, and this position was vacated. So I thought of asking you to protect me and my goods. Bonifers said, and then said, "If you can be my bodyguard, I can pay you five gold coins per person a day."

"Oh, the treatment is not low. Can you tell me what kind of goods you are shipping this time? There are so many mercenaries that you can't protect?" Ling Hao felt that something was strange for him to invite him to have such a large-scale mercenary regiment, so he asked.

Boniface replied helplessly, "I'm sorry, the goods we shipped this time are highly confidential. I can't tell anyone, even I don't know what it is."

Ling Hao looked at Boniface's expression and knew that he was not sincere. He knew that he must have hidden something. At this moment, he said, "Let me think about it. I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning."
