Chapter 149: Start with Miscellaneous Labor
The recruitment office is located in the southeast corner of the academy, there are more than 100 people, and they need huge logistics support to eat and drink every day, and there are more than 50 people who are responsible for chopping wood and cooking rice, basically a handyman serving two disciples.
And the eight students who happened to be new also joined these teams every day in addition to cleaning work.
It was about to be dinner time, and the horse-faced disciple led the eight people to the back mountain of the academy to prepare firewood for dinner.
He Xiu's foot injury can't walk on the flat road at all, let alone climb the mountainside, he finally climbed to the mountainside, and blood has oozed from the side of his shoe, Zhou Songli tried his best to share some of it for him, and the firewood knife in his hand kept slashing.
The rest of the people are in their own hands, in order to be able to get out of here faster, the rich boys who are usually used to eating and stretching their hands to stretch their hands have blisters on the soles of their feet and palms.
He muttered quietly and hated this place.
The horse-faced disciple was afraid of Zhang Junfei and his group of retaliation, so he didn't dare to ask He Xiu to be too strict, turn a blind eye, and still get by.
Zhou Songli helped him tie up a load of firewood, came to the horse-faced disciple in a hurry, and said attentively: "Senior brother, dare to ask the name of Gao?"
"Hmph!" The horse-faced disciple rolled his eyes at him, clasped his hands to his chest and said, "Senior Brother of the Recruitment Office, Lin Geng." ”
Zhou Songli's eyes rolled, and he smiled: "Oh, it turned out to be Senior Brother Lin, I have heard of your name in Qiman Town!"
Lin Geng turned his head in surprise, suppressed the joy in his heart, and asked, "What do you mean about me outside?"
Zhou Songli danced with his hands, and said with a very admiring expression: "That's a lot, some say that Senior Brother Lin is the best disciple of Xuanchu Academy in recent years, and some say that Senior Brother Lin is the future star of Xuanchu Academy......"
"Hahahaha, low-key, low-key, these words, don't say them in front of so many people in the future......" Lin Geng waved his hand.
He Xiu sat on the firewood, shook his head and smiled, admiring Zhou Songli's sleek life in his heart, if he let him put down his face and flatter others, I am afraid it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky.
Zhou Songli approached Lin Geng with a smile, quickly stuffed a gold ingot into his arms with one hand, and whispered: "A little meaning, not a respect, our brothers ......"
Lin Geng smiled greedily: "Hehe, it's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
With Lin Geng's line, Zhou Songli blatantly picked up the firewood for He Xiu and walked down the mountain.
Chang An also saw the wind and rudder, and immediately took out two ingots of gold and stuffed them into Lin Geng's arms, compared to Zhou Songli's sleekness, he seemed more shrewd.
The rest of the people saw that Lin Geng did not refuse, and they rushed up to show their courtesy.
Lin Geng patted his bulging pocket, not to mention how satisfied.
During the night cooking time, Zhou Songli caused a big disaster, he actually poked a big hole in the bottom of the pot when he added firewood under the stove, and in an instant, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he looked at He Xiu in a daze, and asked, "Brother He, how is this good?"
The handyman around him was afraid of causing trouble to himself, so he retreated to the side.
He Xian was burning the second stove, and was amused by his action: "Brother Zhou, you are too hard, aren't you......"
Zhou Songli said with a sad face: "Oh, Brother He, don't laugh, there is still half a moment to eat, quickly think of a way for me." ”
"Go find Lin Geng, you forgot, he is the future star of the academy......" He Xiu covered his mouth and smiled.
Zhou Songli slapped his thigh, wiped his nose, and suddenly said, "Yes, gold can't be given for nothing, I'll go to him." ”
He Xiu said to the miscellaneous servants who were hiding far away: "Big brothers, you don't have to be afraid, the matter has nothing to do with you, go get busy." ”
He has always been thinking about others, serious like a fool.
A group of miscellaneous servants only resigned themselves to their own work.
"Dang!"
"Dang!"
"Dang!"
A bell rang out of nowhere.
Before the bell fell, Zhou Songli walked in with his head down, sat down in front of the stove with a slumped ass, and said with a dull gaze: "It's over, it's over......"
He Xiu hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Didn't you find Lin Geng?"
Zhou Songli was completely helpless, and said, "I found it, he asked me to figure it out by myself......"
He Xiu smiled and said, "Hehe, I have a way......"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Songli's eyes were golden, and he grabbed his sleeve, like grabbing a life-saving straw when he was drowning, and said eagerly: "What way?"
He Xiu smiled evilly and muttered in his ear, and then said: "You just have to cooperate with me, remember, if you bite to death, you must not have stage fright." ”
Zhou Songli pulled his mouth and said bitterly: "This is not very good, in case it ......"
He Xiu said seriously: "It's okay, even if you do what I say, if you can't do it, he still has to thank you." ”
Zhou Songli questioned with a questioning face: "God, I just beg not to be punished, and I don't dare to ask for anything else." ”
The recruitment office is partial to the courtyard, and the candles in the west hall are bright.
The disciples who had been leisurely for a day were sitting in front of the desk waiting for the food to be served.
He Xiu and the others walked in cautiously with a tray, gently put the food on the table, and retreated with a low waist.
When he entered the main hall, his eyes swept around, but he didn't see Guan Zhihe, Gu Tiantian and the two of them, and he couldn't help but worry in his heart.
Zhou Song stood restlessly outside the door, listening attentively from time to time.
Suddenly, there were many broken voices from inside.
As if to say that today's food was much less than usual, and he had to go to the elder to report, Zhou Songli was like a frightened bird, and returned to the kitchen with his head in his hands.
He sat next to He Xiu, his legs trembling.
Soon, three imposing disciples came in, and one of the leaders scolded, "You two come with me!"
Zhou Songli pulled He Xiuwei to get up, hid behind him, and bowed his head.
In the main hall of the side courtyard, in a large hall, Jude Law sat with a dark face.
Next to him stood Lin Geng with an indifferent face.
The two were pushed and walked in, Jude Law suddenly slapped the case a few times, and said angrily: "Do you know what Lao Tzu called you to do?"
Zhou Songli looked weak and said, "No...... No...... Didn't ......."
"Elder Hui, it's because today's food is not as sufficient as before!" He Xiu's eyes were tough, and he looked straight at Jude Luo, and said without humility or arrogance.
Jude Law lowered his eyebrows, clenched his hands into fists, and said, "Oh, do you kid know what kind of cool methods you have to suffer from withholding food without permission?"
He Xiu said loudly: "Elder Hui, the junior did not deduct food, let alone violate the rules of the court, the reason why I did this was completely in accordance with Senior Brother Lin's arrangement. ”
Lin Geng was so frightened that he almost couldn't fall in one breath, and said angrily: "You...... You're spewing blood!"
He Xiu said again: "Elder Hui, what the junior said is true, and Zhou Songli beside me can testify." ”
“...... Be...... That's the thing. Zhou Songli said in horror.
"You ...... You ......" Lin Geng's face turned pale, pointed at them, and almost jumped up: "When did I ask you?"
He Xiu still said unhurriedly: "Senior brother, when you chopped firewood today, you personally told the two of us that you would make one less pot of food tonight, why did you forget?"
"Bold! You two dare to perjury in front of the elders and plot to kill me, what are your intentions?" Lin Geng said in a grand manner.
He also knew that the pot was transparent, but now he had missed the opportunity to report, and at this time, there was a feeling that he couldn't say what was hard for a dumb person to eat Coptis chinensis.
If he said this now, he would be tantamount to becoming an 'accomplice' of the two of them, and Jude Law knew his methods like a mirror, so he didn't dare to say more.
If you push the two of them into a hurry, and bite back again, the gains outweigh the losses.
Jude Law glanced at the three of them, and finally stared at He Xiu, as if he wanted to see through him, and said, "I can trust you guys and bring out the evidence!"
He Xiu then said: "The evidence is in the main hall!"
Lin Geng scanned the house, but saw no evidence.
Jude Law's fist suddenly loosened, and said, "Find out!"
He Xiu slowly raised his head, his eyes stared at his back, and said resolutely: "On the screen behind the elder!"
Lin Gengti looked at it and saw eight columns of text written on the screen, the first column read: The family and the country are on the cliff, and my generation is the province.
He Xiu suddenly smiled and said: "Senior brother told us that our family and country are in a prosperous period, and we need to build with more manpower, and also taught us that we should save expenses from today onwards, starting from the basics, so I asked the rest of the people to eat less than one soup a day except for the elders, reminding themselves that the current situation is not easy." ”
Lin Geng Muran, I didn't expect him to wait for him here.
Zhou Songli saw that half of the matter was done, and his courage also increased, and he lowered his head and said: "Yes, yes, the junior can testify, the senior brother is kind as a heart, and he is a model for us to learn." ”
Jude Luo stared at the three of them, and suddenly laughed after half a ring, and said: "You are worthy of being a disciple of my recruitment office, Lin Geng, you are doing a good job, but you can't push the old man to the forefront, since you eat less than one soup a day, the old man is an example, and he decides to eat one less meal a day!"
He laughed so hard that the three of them stood on end.
After laughing, he said to Lin Geng: "The old man still has to report today's matter to the 'Award Office' and ask them to reward you." ”
Lin Geng was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to thank him.
Jude Law seemed to be very happy, as if he had fallen into a honeycomb in an instant, and then said: "In addition, after the award is handed down by the award office, the old man will ask someone to write a praise essay and publicize your virtues in the academy. ”
Lin Geng felt like gold falling from the sky, although he was caught off guard by smashing, he benefited a lot, and he was busy kowtowing to thank him.
Zhou Songli looked at He Xiu with admiration, and felt that he should be the new star of this academy.
He Xiu took advantage of Jude Luo's good mood and said, "Elder Qiu, the junior wants to ask you for an errand. ”
Jude Law suddenly laughed, and said with a smile: "Oh, you kid will pick the time, let's say, the old man is in a good mood today, you can let go of the courage to speak!"
He Xiudao: "Junior: I heard you just say that you want to entrust someone to write a compliment for the senior brother, and the junior wants to take over this errand, you can rest assured, the junior will definitely write the article with emotion, and will not embarrass the recruitment office." ”
Jude Law suddenly felt that there was an inescapable attraction in this kid, and appreciation rose in his heart.
He pretended to be deep and asked, "Really?"
"Really!" He Xiu said categorically.
