Chapter 5 Your clothes are really beautiful
To join the Huo Gang, one must first register, wait for a one-month probation period, and sign a contract to truly become a Huo Gang guard.
Yun Chen, Xiao Liu and Xun Xun were sitting in the registration room.
Xiaoliu and Xun Jian wrote furiously, detailing everything from their name, age, specialties, identity, family background, parents, relatives, personal experiences, friendships, and grudges.
Xiaoliu almost wrote about the time he wet the bed when he was three years old.
A book of briefing that all guards must fill out after following their master.
Only in this way can one be innocent and transparent in front of the master, and it also shows that one is willing to hand over one's life and property to the master.
Looking around, the guards' ID cards were neatly stacked on the bookshelf, covering an entire wall. Each person's ID card was a thick book, with the thinnest having eighty or ninety pages.
So, when the recorder saw that Yun Chen had sat for half an hour but only wrote a thin page, his expression was one of surprise, confusion and suspicion, which was very complicated.
It’s not that Yun Chen doesn’t want to write, it’s that he really doesn’t dare to write.
The Huo Gang will send someone to verify the authenticity of every sentence written in this book.
If she wrote that she was from the Yun family in Youzhou, within three days, the people from the Huo Gang would find her home and discover that she was actually a woman. How could she still serve as a guard?
She wanted to write that she was an orphan, but she was a straightforward person and was not good at telling lies.
She wanted to truthfully write down her experience of learning martial arts from her master, but her master was a taciturn and mysterious person.
She only knew that her master's surname was Jiang, and she knew nothing else.
So, she scratched her head and thought for an hour, and finally wrote down on paper, only daring to say a few simple words:
"Yun Chen, seventeen years old."
The recorder did not dare to act on his own initiative and quickly reported the matter to Huo Gannian.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Ye Yan arrived.
It is said that Huo Gan read it correctly, page by page, and can be saved.
Mr. Ji Ce thought that Huo Gannian was magnanimous. He would not employ people if he doubted them, and would trust people if he employed them.
Ye Yan became even more convinced that Yun Chen would not live long.
He felt that Huo Gannian would sooner or later find a reason to kill Yun Chen, making sure she wouldn't even survive the probation period, and her ID card would be nothing more than a piece of waste paper.
After registration, Xiaoliu and Xun Xun were sent to different places.
Yun Chen received five days of instruction, received her uniform and badge, and then took on her first task in the Huo Gang:
Cat Assassin.
When Ye Yan gave her this task, her expression was as if she had eaten fly shit.
Catch yourself, that's good.
Ye Yan thought she was lacking confidence, so he patted her shoulder and comforted her:
"I know this assignment is difficult. New recruits usually start out as patrol officers or night guards, and rarely receive such a big assignment right out of the gate. But this is the Young Master's personal order, which shows how much he appreciates you."
In fact, what he wanted to say was: How could you possibly catch the assassin that we couldn't catch even with such a big net? Alas, the young master will probably use this as an excuse to deal with you.
Yun Chen accepted the task with mixed feelings, walked out of the Huo Mansion alone, and wandered aimlessly on the street.
Her mood fluctuated between "surrendering" and "escaping".
Just turn yourself in. She doesn't want to give her face to Huo Gannian as a footstool.
If he ran away, he would probably implicate Xun Jian and Xiao Liu, who had worked so hard to become his guards.
When they received the Huo Gang guard uniforms, even though they were the lowest grade, the two were overjoyed. Xiao Liu even smiled in his dreams.
She couldn't bring trouble to her brothers, so she could only find a quiet lakeside and sit there for the whole day.
Looking at the people coming and going on the street, she couldn't help sighing, feeling quite unemployed.
Seeing that it was getting darker and darker and it was time to go back to draw the morning clouds, Yun Chen walked back leisurely.
When she passed through the familiar streets, the neighbors saw that she had changed her appearance and was now wearing the bright uniform of the Huo Gang guard. They all surrounded her, looking her up and down, with smiles on their faces, as proud as if a top scholar had emerged from their village.
The old lady on crutches was so happy that she burst into tears, and the more she looked at Yun Chen, the more she cherished him.
"Boy Yun has finally made it!"
"Who would have the heart to bury such a good child? God finally has eyes!"
"This is just the beginning. Yun boy has a long way to go in terms of promotion and wealth!"
Yun Chen couldn't bear to disappoint his neighbors, so he could only swallow his worries and cheer himself up to respond one by one.
At this time, Miaomiao came out from nowhere, with a mouth full of candied haws crumbs, hugged her knees, raised her little face and asked:
“Brother Yun, now that you’re a guard, are you still catching cats for me?”
Yun Chen squatted down and pinched Miaomiao's little face lovingly, "Catch it, Brother Yun will always catch cats for you."
"Oh, great!" Miaomiao cheered happily, "Then go quickly, the cat has run away again."
So, Yun Chen followed the old method and used dried fish as bribes to ask the stray cats on the roadside.
Following the cats' meows, she quickly found the black cat who was embracing two little female cats and leisurely basking in the sunset on the roof.
Yun Chen was both angry and amused.
If it weren't for this guy, she wouldn't have offended Huo Gannian.
"If it doesn't work, I'll take you as my 'cat assassin'. Catching the 'cat' is half the battle, right?" She grabbed the black cat and started squeezing it, trying to scare it.
"Don't be so cocky, that Huo Gang's young master is really powerful. He wants to use your cat skin as a foot pad!"
I don’t know if Yun Chen’s words worked, but on the way back to the Huo Mansion, the black cat didn’t struggle or cry at all, and was held obediently in Yun Chen’s arms.
Yun Chen didn't really want to use a cat to take the blame. She wanted to find a sturdier cage in the Huo Mansion to put the cat in and then bring it to Miaomiao.
However, Yun Chen is still too naive.
How can a guy who never goes home and takes two female cats to pick up girls be a decent cat?
Yun Chen had just entered the Huo Mansion through the side door and was about to look for the cage when the black cat suddenly jumped up, bit Yun Chen's nose and ran away.
Yun Chen was so angry that he cursed and chased after him, covering his bleeding nose.
At the distant sentry post, the guards of the Huo Gang saw a figure and a cat jumping around in the mansion. They subconsciously thought of the cat-carrying assassin that night and immediately gathered all their strength, slammed the wake-up bell, and shouted at the top of their lungs:
"The cat assassin is here again!! Protect! The! Young! Master!!"
Accompanied by the loud "bang bang" sound of the bell, the entire Huo Mansion was like a pot of boiling water, and everyone was startled.
The servants quickly closed the doors, and the guards drew their swords and prepared for battle. Ye Yan jumped onto the sentry post and quickly deployed the troops and gave orders.
Everyone gathered at Beining Hall where Huo Gannian was.
Yun Chen was completely unaware of all this. She was busy jumping onto the roof to chase the cat. When she heard the bell, she thought it was the Huo Gang having dinner.
She ran quickly with her light Kung Fu skills and pounced on the black cat.
Because the impact was so great, she had to hold the cat and roll on the roof to cushion the impact.
Just as I was about to turn over and get up, I felt a sudden emptiness under me——
She hadn't expected there to be a skylight on the roof, and it was facing inwards! She fell through, cat and all, landing with a thud in a large pool.
A huge splash of water exploded in the bathroom.
The black cat was afraid of water, and while meowing heartbreakingly, it struggled to escape from the pool.
Yun Chen held the cat with both hands and refused to let go. She tried to stand up on her legs, but she didn't know what she put in the water and she kept slipping. She tried several times and fell back every time.
The man and the cat were like two large hammers, stirring the bath water, making loud noises and splashing water.
In the midst of the chaos, Yun Chen heard a voice with suppressed anger questioning:
"Have you had enough fun?!"
Yun Chen stopped and looked in the direction of the sound. Huo Gannian was leaning naked against the edge of the pool with his arms stretched out, most of his body soaked in the water, his phoenix eyes staring at her with cold disgust.
It should have been a very beautiful and pleasing scene of a handsome man taking a bath, but because Yun Chen and the cat made the pool "big waves", all the water splashed on Huo Gan's mind.
At this moment, his hair was wet and stuck to his face like water grass, and his head was covered with licorice and mugwort leaves used for bathing... and a big red lotus.
He slowly raised his hand, pulled off the hairpin, slightly opened his red lips, and spit out a handful of wet cat hair from his mouth.
He gritted his teeth and said nothing.
The air fell into a deathly silence.
Yun Chen, all wet, was holding the cat in his arms, staring at Huo Gannian's naked chest with wide eyes, his mind blank.
At this moment, Ye Yan and his guards arrived in a hurry, and a huge crowd of people screamed:
"Young Master! That cat-carrying assassin is here again!"
"Protect the young master!"
"Hurry up and dress the young master!"
"Put on your pants first!"
Then he broke open the door.
Ye Yan rushed in first and stopped at the edge of the pool.
He looked at the disheveled and naked Huo Gannian, and then met the gaze of Yun Chen who was standing stupidly in the pool.
Under Ye Yan's questioning gaze, two lines of blood slowly flowed from Yun Chen's nose where the cat had bitten him.
In the almost frozen awkwardness and silence, someone said, "It's so white."
Everyone subconsciously looked at Huo Gannian's body.
At the door of the house, the maids and old women who arrived a little later also stretched their necks to look into the bathroom and exclaimed "Wow".
If nothing unexpected happens, the topic of conversation in the mansion for the next period of time will all be about Huo Gannian's "Bath of the Handsome Man"...
Huo Gannian had a blank expression on his face, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word:
"roll."
His voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for Ye Yan to hear clearly.
Ye Yan quickly said, "It's safe here and there are no assassins. Take your time washing up, young master," and then ran away without looking back.
The other guards were also very smart. They lowered their heads and ran very fast.
The bathroom, which was packed just now, became empty again in an instant.
Yun Chen was the last one to react. She tiptoed out, not daring to look at Huo Gannian, but she caught a glimpse of his frosty face, staring at her.
She climbed out of the pool using her hands and feet. She felt it was too quiet and thought she should exchange a few words before leaving, but her mind seemed to be stuck.
Say something, this is so embarrassing.
You're such a jerk! Think fast!
She tried hard to control her nerves, but ended up laughing awkwardly:
"Master, your clothes are really beautiful. Where did you buy them?"
