Xiao Lan turned back to Xiong Chen and said urgently: "It's Xiang Butler, he may have come to me, you quickly hide in the willow bushes behind the stones, don't let him see it." ”

Xiong Chen only felt an indescribable aggrieved aura surging in his chest, he grabbed Xiao Lan's hand hard, and hissed, "Xiao Lan!"

Xiao Lan stomped her foot, pointed to the willow bushes behind the stones, and said, "Hurry up...... Hide, you're good at the water, you can sneak down there from underwater...... Silly brother, if you want to take me out of this hellish place, you have to keep me alive first, right?"

The sound of Da Da's footsteps was getting closer and closer, Xiao Lan pushed Xiong Chen hard, Xiong Chen bit his lip, turned over and rolled down the stone.

The sound of falling into the water was very small, just a slight snort, Xiao Lan looked at the lake, and saw a circle of ripples slowly swinging away, she stroked her heart and breathed a sigh of relief, and also slipped down the stone, picked up two pieces of clothes from the barrel, trotted to the lake, soaked the clothes in the water, and scrubbed them hard.

The pot-bellied butler held a wooden stick as thick as a child's arm, Shi Shiran came to the big stone, he kicked the barrel with his big foot with cotton shoes, picked up a piece of clothing with a wooden stick, and shouted: "Lan girl, you must be lazy, aren't you? This little bit of clothing, I haven't washed it for more than an hour, is it itchy, and I want the uncle to beat you to be happy?"

Xiao Lan wiped her face with her wet hands, and said without looking back: "Butler Xiang, I'm not lazy, you can count, how many pieces of clothes there are, a full ninety-three, each piece of clothing is covered with a thick layer of hard mud...... You have to soak it to rub it off, I don't believe you can take a look......"

Xiang The butler snorted a dull sound from his thick nostrils, and said: "You don't have to go into the mountain for the past two days, it doesn't hurt to wash this clothes slowly, Lan girl, you are getting more and more bold, you dare to talk to the uncle like this, after you will dry the clothes, you will go to the pigsty and take a bath for the thirty pigs, Grandma Chen of Neizhuang will come over in the afternoon to see how the pig looks, and the little boy's 100-day banquet next month can be used, you have to take care of this pig, you know?"

Xiao Lan's heart was bitter, the pigs in the pigsty were eating and sleeping well, they were fat and swaying, and a pig weighed four or five Xiao Lan, so let me wait for those fat pigs to take a bath......? But I'm going alone? Those pigs are very big and violent, and I'm afraid that one person won't be able to wash them well, so can you send one more person to the housekeeper?"

Xiang Butler kicked Xiao Lan's back, Xiao Lan turned over and fell into the lake, the water by the lake was not deep, but it was very cold, she climbed the stone by the lake with both hands, turned her head, and looked at the butler with trembling.

"You stinky girl, the uncle told you to bathe the pig, you just need to say that the slave knows, and then go immediately...... And not rhetorical quibbles...... Drink a few sips of water to wake up your mind and understand what it means to be humble, understand?"

Xiao Lan opened her mouth and spit out a trilled sentence: "Yes...... The slave knows about it, so she will go immediately......"

Nodding with satisfaction to the butler, he was about to speak, when suddenly a silver arc flew up from the water, and landed impartially in his wide open mouth.

Slippery and greasy, with a fishy and salty taste, it was still beating in his mouth, and he hurriedly swept his hand at the butler, grabbed the tail of the thing, and pulled it out.

Xiao Lan looked at it with wide eyes, and after seeing the thing that was pinched in her hand by Steward Xiang, she unconsciously cried out: "Steward Xiang, a fish has swam into your mouth......

Xiang kept spitting on the ground to the butler, and the fish was pinched in his hand, and he was struggling desperately, and he used his two thick fingers to squeeze the fish to death.

"Bad luck, even the fish have become fine these years, and I dare to look at the uncle's mouth...... What are you looking at? Still laughing, why don't you get up and go to the pigsty?"

Xiao Lan couldn't help laughing, climbed the stone with both hands, and was about to climb ashore, when there was another pop in the lake, and another stream fell into the butler's face like a moon.

This time, Xiang Butler had already taken precautions, and the wooden stick in his hand met him on the head, and hit the thing on the head.

Xiao Lan exclaimed again: "Xiang Butler, this time it's a big turtle." ”

The turtle was swimming leisurely in the lake, but somehow it was thrown ashore with a strong force, and when it hit a hard object, it was immediately launched, and it bit the stick in one bite.

Xiang stared at the butler and looked at the turtle hanging on the wooden stick, and couldn't help laughing: "What a fat turtle, knowing that the uncle has been empty during this time, he ran over by himself, okay, take your stew." ”

He was in a good mood, and no longer paid attention to Xiao Lan, who was still soaked in the water, and picked up the turtle and hummed a small tune.

Xiao Lan watched the figure of the butler disappear into the woods with palpitations, she slowly moved to the shore holding the stones on the shore, the water in the lake was too cold, she was soaking wet, she hugged her thin shoulders and sneezed loudly, tears and snot all flowed out.

The ripples on the surface of the lake spread, and a straight line of water rushed straight to the shore, and Xiong Chen pinched two big fish and went ashore.

He threw the fish into the grass casually, walked to Xiao Lan's side, leaned over and picked up Xiao Lan, who was shivering, walked to the forest by the lake, found a dry place to put her down, turned around and found a few stones, held them in his hands, moved his hands from side to side, and hit the stones hard.

"What are you doing?"

"Take a fire and dry your clothes. ”

"You threw the fish and turtle at the beginning?"

"Well, I just hate that I haven't caught a snake, or I'm going to scare the butler to death......"

In the splash of sparks, a faint blue flame burst between the two stones, and Xiong Chen used his feet to gather the fallen leaves on the ground into a pile and buried the fire inside.

Xiao Lan looked at the grilled fish that kept spinning in the fire, the fish fat dripped into the fire, making a sizzling sound, she sniffled, the smell of the grilled fish was so fragrant.

"Brother Xiong Chen, we are here to grill fish to eat, aren't afraid to smell the fragrance to the manager, and run over to arrest people?"

Xiong Chen handed a grilled fish to Xiao Lan and said, "What are you afraid of, he is busy stewing turtles, eat quickly, the fish must be eaten hot, otherwise it will be fishy." ”

Xiao Lan took the grilled fish, took a bite, and felt that her mouth was full of fragrance, it was really delicious that she had never eaten in her life.

"Delicious...... I haven't eaten fish in a long time, Brother Xiong Chen, it turns out that you can grill fish!"

Xiong Chen made a grimace at Xiaolan: "I will also roast chicken, roast duck, roast suckling pig, and when we are free, I will torture you to eat every day." “

Xiao Lan licked the meat crumbs at the corner of her mouth, wait for us to be free, free? What a beautiful word!

"I'm going to the pigsty later...... Bathe the pig, and tell the housekeeper that the pig is used at the 100-day banquet of the little boy next month. ”

Xiong Chenhei put a calm face, put another fish on the branch, and put it in the fire: "The pigsty is dirty and smelly, dozens of big fat pigs are crowded together, you little girl, how can you get it? Don't go, I'll go for you!"

Xiao Lan said in a low voice: "This is not good, let the housekeeper Xiang know, it is another good fight." ”

Xiong Chen snorted: "Let him beat me, you will go back to the room to sleep and cover your sweat later, otherwise you will easily catch a cold." ”

He turned the fish over and said thoughtfully, "Is the owner's little son going to hold ......a 100-day banquet next month?"
