56. Pick up beans
This morning, Xia Gui was pranayama and recuperation, and there was a knock on the door outside the grass hut.
"Turtle, are you there?"
This familiar voice is violet!
Xia Gui touched his head with a headache, this girl came to him, there must be nothing good.
Seeing that he didn't reply immediately, Ziluo outside the door called in a sweeter and sweeter voice, "Little turtle slave, are you recuperating here?"
Xia Gui opened the door stubbornly, but saw that it was Ziluo standing outside the door.
Today she seems to be different from before, wearing a gorgeous purple short skirt and carrying a big bamboo on her back, and she doesn't know what is in it.
She showed two slender white legs, and a pair of off-white leggings were wrapped around her delicate calves, looking full of vitality. Her face was covered with a delicate layer of makeup, and her long eyebrows were carefully trimmed. Ziluo is already an excellent little beauty, and she looks even more sweet and lovely after putting on makeup.
Seeing Xia Gui, Ziluo also smiled sweetly, and two shallow pear vortices appeared on her cheeks as white as jade.
Ziluo smiled, if there were other men next to him, it must have been hooked. However, Xia Gui was furious in her heart when she saw it, what happened to this girl today?
"Purple Girl. Xia Gui gave up.
Ziluo looked at Xia Gui carefully, and really liked it more and more, and said with a slight smile: "Turtle, my young lady called me to come to you." ”
Xia Gui was stunned, "What's wrong?"
"She said she had a task for you," Ziluo smiled mysteriously.
Ziluo put the bamboo basket behind her on the ground, exerting too much force, and the things inside also bounced out a little. Xia Gui looked at it, and it turned out to be a few round beans. Ziluo let out an "oops", and hurriedly picked up the dozen beans that jumped out into the basket, and said with a smile while picking it up: "You can't spoil your task." ”
Task?
Xia Gui looked into the big basket, but saw that the basket of plums was full of beans. There are soybeans and mung beans, of different sizes, staggered and mixed together, not to mention hundreds of thousands.
I only heard Ziluo say slowly: "The little maid in the handyman workshop accidentally mixed the soybeans and mung beans in the warehouse, and now they are all busy sorting beans, and there are not enough people." Miss Xue Fu said that No. 63 must be sick in bed and has nothing to do, so it is better to let him help too. ”
Hearing the content of this task, Xia Gui also showed a look of disbelief.
Let yourself sort soybeans and mung beans? I'm afraid my brain is in water, right?
At this moment, the corners of Xia Gui's mouth twitched twice, this Mi Xuefu wouldn't be deliberately looking for trouble to embarrass herself. Picking up beans can't be done by a dignified team leader of the Hundred Beasts Garden.
If Mi Xuefu is really determined to embarrass herself, it makes sense. Maybe she felt that she had taken her three tricks and was haunted? she really couldn't think of any good way to torture herself, so she had to let herself pick up beans?
Xia Gui touched his nose, so he had no choice but to gather all the slaves in the Hundred Beast Garden, share a handful of beans each, and split this task to complete it in parallel.
Xia Gui was thinking about it, but Ziluo said with a smile: "By the way, Miss Xuefu said that this task must be completed within half an hour, and you must complete it independently, and you can't let others help you." ”
Xia Gui originally wanted to split the task, but Ziluo said that she couldn't let others help, and she had to complete it within an hour. Xia Gui had a bitter face now, "What will happen if I can't finish it?"
Ziluo threw out a malicious sneer, "Hehe, then wait to be punished." ”
She lifted her chin slightly, as if waiting for Xia to return and plead with her. However, Xia Gui lowered his eyes and looked at the beans in the basket seriously, as if he was thoughtful.
"Did you young lady really say that?" Xia Gui asked.
Ziluo nodded, "yes." ”
Xia Gui pointed to the bamboo basket, "Can I dismantle this bamboo basket?"
Ziluo was also stunned, and then said, "Miss didn't say no." ”
Xia Gui nodded, "Okay, come over in an hour." ”
Ziluo glanced at Xia Gui inexplicably, and then a light smile appeared on her face, "Okay, I'll go around the neighborhood and come back to you in an hour." ”
......
After Ziluo left, Xia Gui also shook his head with a wry smile helplessly.
"Think this can stump me? His Highness also has brains. ”
He forcefully tore the bamboo basket apart, divided it into two halves, flattened and straightened it, and became a dustpan.
Xia Gui carefully adjusted each bamboo strip of the bamboo basket so that the holes in the bamboo basket were slightly larger than mung beans and slightly smaller than soybeans. He then grabbed a handful of mixed beans and let the mung beans fall evenly from the dustpan, leaving the soybeans on top of the dustpan......
The homemade dustpan is really easy to use, and Xia Gui can sieve twice on average, and you can separate a large handful of beans.
"I sift and sift and sift and sift ......"
In less than ten minutes, the basket of beans had been cleaned and evenly divided into two stalls, stacked on both sides of Xia Gui like two hills. Looking carefully at the two bean mountains, it is true that there is not a single mung bean in the soybeans, and there is not a single soybean in the mung bean.
......
An hour later.
Xia Gui was lying between the two stalls of beans, holding his head in his arms, facing the warm sun, and fell asleep comfortably.
The warm sun shone on his stretched brows, the eyelashes on his thin eyelids trembled gently, and the smug smile still hanging on the corners of his mouth showed the youthful handsomeness and vigor on the young man's face.
Da-da-da.
Two slow footsteps came, and two figures fell on Xia Gui's face, blocking the sunlight above him. However, Xia Gui, who had entered a state of deep sleep, didn't know it, but slept sweeter because of this shade.
Appearing above Xia Gui was the cold beauty Mi Xuefu and the maid Ziluo in a white dress. The expression on Mi Xuefu's face is still so indifferent, but even if there is no half expression, this beauty is extremely moving.
However, she is not in a very good mood now, a pair of beautiful eyes gently looked at the two small mountain-like beans on Xia Gui's side, and her brows were twisted unconsciously. Ziluo beside her was even more surprised: "Miss, he seems to be asleep!"
It seems that he has been asleep for half an hour, which means that he has already completed the task of sifting through the beans.
Mi Xuefu's eyes fell on Xia Gui's face, sweeping down from his cheeks, neck, chest, and finally fell on the bamboo dustpan at Xia Gui's feet. Mi Xuefu's pair of beautiful contacts also shrank slightly, and suddenly understood what happened.
"Cheating ......"
A frosty anger quickly covered her beautiful eyes, and the willow-like eyebrows furrowed slightly.
A palm wind came towards him, and Xia Gui hurriedly jumped back in surprise, dodging this palm wind. I happened to see Mi Xuefu standing in front of him, and the maid Ziluo.
"Miss Xuefu. Xia Gui hurriedly saluted.
Mi Xuefu smiled coldly, "You can come up with this method to sift beans, you are quite smart!"
Xia Gui observed his words and looks, and soon understood what Mi Xue was angry. He pulled away his robe and said, "I completed the task with my own hands within an hour, and I don't know why Miss blames me." ”
Mi Xuefu snorted coldly, although she was angry in her heart, she couldn't blame him. Because Qi Xuefu really didn't say that tools are not allowed.
"How long did it take you to complete the sorting?" asked Mi Xuefu.
Xia Gui replied honestly: "About ten minutes." ”
"It's been too long. Mi Xuefu frowned.
She looked at Xia Gui slowly, raised her slender hands for a while, and stirred in the air as if she were embracing Tai Chi. A misty white true qi formed in front of her, slowly rotating like a circle. The true qi turned around twice, turning into a huge whirlpool, and when the true qi flowed against the two stalls of beans on the ground, it was like an invisible magnetic force, sucking up the two piles of beans.
The beans were absorbed into the air, and they spun one by one under the power of the whirlpool. In less than a moment, all the beans flew into the whirlpool, and Xia Gui saw the yellow and green ones in front of him, turning into two-color torrents, reflecting each other in the air.
Mi Xuefu's hands were suddenly closed, only to hear the sound of "bang", the beans fell to the ground, and the soybeans and mung beans were completely mixed together.
Xia Gui stared at the pile of beans, but the corner of his mouth was a "hehe" wry smile. The beans she had just packed were mixed up by her again.
"Sort again, and don't use any tools. Qi Xuefu said.
"What?" Xia Guiyi was stunned, this is clearly blatantly embarrassing himself!
Xia Gui now understands that what kind of handyman workshop accidentally mixed soybeans and mung beans together, which is clearly an excuse. This Mi Xue Fu is itchy skin, and he changes his way to embarrass himself!
Xia Gui glanced at Mi Xuefu deeply, and then said slowly: "Miss Xuefu, I heard that you are also a master of cultivation. If you really feel bored during the practice, you can hunt, plant flowers, and play chess to relieve the repetitive and boring mood. If you think I'd be amused in this way, then I have to tell you that I'm not like you ladies and nobles, who have a lot of time to spend their energies. ”
"I'm just a precarious little slave with a lot of important tasks to accomplish in order to survive. If Miss Xuefu is really bored, I can also introduce some good pastimes to Miss Xuefu, which must be more interesting than me sorting beans. ”
After finishing speaking, Xia Gui hugged his fists.
Although these words are long, the meaning is clear: you are too boring, I don't have time to spend with you.
If any other slave said it, Mi Xuefu would probably be furious on the spot. But this statement came out of Xia Gui's mouth without hurry and clearly, and it still had a bit of a fresh and refined taste.
Mi Xuefu smiled coldly, and a trace of anger flashed in her beautiful eyes, "You think I amuse you?"
