To Lu Tu's surprise, this unassuming young man was actually quite responsible.
He naturally knew Liu Yang. There was also a younger brother named Liu Hu, who was a year younger than him. The two brothers were usually very hardworking and kind-hearted. They would go to help anyone who needed help with chores. They didn't ask for much, just wanted to eat. In the chaotic Wuchuan, they were truly rare.
When Zhao Liang and the others heard that they had to keep watch all night, they lowered their heads and refused to accept the offer. After all, who would want to keep watch outside all night in the freezing cold? Besides, they had just gotten married today, and it was impossible to skip the wedding night just because their mother had died. That would not be in line with the customs and traditions of Wuchuan.
Lu Tu observed their performance but did not pursue it further; his principle was that more work meant more pay.
"Didn't you go pick up your wife today?"
Liu Yang shook his head: "I'm 15 this year, not old enough to get married yet. By the way, Sergeant, can I let my younger brother come with me to keep watch at night? He's 14 years old, he's been working with me since he was little, and he's very clever."
Lu Tu immediately expressed his approval: "Then you should call your younger brother over. Your brother will keep watch for the first half of the night, and you will keep watch for the second half. Give him a string of cash every month!"
Liu Yang clasped his hands in delight and said, "Thank you so much, Sergeant! We definitely won't doze off and will keep watch properly!"
"Go on, take the meat home, and bring your brother out so I can meet him."
Before long, Liu Yang brought over a young boy. The two brothers looked like they were cut from the same mold, especially the stubbornness in their eyes.
Liu Hu bowed somewhat timidly: "Greetings, Squad Leader."
Lu Tu tossed him a knife he had confiscated: "You and your brother can use this knife for now. Start working hard from today onwards. I won't say you'll become rich and powerful by following me, but at least you'll be able to eat your fill!"
Upon hearing the words "full stomach," Liu Yang and Liu Hu's eyes lit up! Having lost their parents at a young age and grown up relying on the kindness of others, they naturally knew how tempting the words "full stomach" were.
