Chapter 14 The Comer Is Not Good
I continued to observe Brother Nu's every move, but he and the two security guards said no more, and all three of them fell silent.
Beard and I continued to fill out the form, and after about a quarter of an hour, we both finished the form one after another. I wrote very mediocre, but when I looked at the bearded watch, I was stunned for a moment.
This man, he is really not afraid of being thick-skinned, and he can even blow it. According to what he said, his family's ancestral craft is bricklayer, and he grew up under the influence of his father and grandfather, and he is proficient in all eighteen kinds of bricklayer tools, and has participated in many big jobs before, and many tourist attractions have the shadow of his craft.
I made a point of clicking on his form. As for the beard, I don't think there's anything at all.
We both handed the forms to Brother Nu. Beard also glanced at the door, but there was no trace of Lusha.
Huzi asked me, "Shall we wait for Lu Sha or go directly to work with Brother Nu immediately?" He's not leaving? β
Through these few contacts, I don't think Rusha is like an unreliable person, I shook my head, that means, wait.
Brother Nu also had plans in this regard, he didn't rush to take the two of us away, but held the form and looked at it carefully.
After a while, two people appeared at the door, and the person who took the lead looked like a bad three, but he was too short, and if you wanted me to say, he couldn't hold on to one meter six, and he was round, and the most impressive, he still had a little buckteeth.
The one behind the dwarf bucktooth, looking like a Tibetan, should be a manual worker.
After the dwarf bucktooth entered the house, he immediately shouted at Brother Nu and Brother Nu short, and looked like he was stammering.
Brother Nu is very familiar with him, and he said a few polite words at this time. I tasted the accent of dwarf buckteeth, and I thought to myself that if he was a bad three, it would be impossible for him to speak Chinese so fluently, and I noticed that his expression was a little stiff, and I could even faintly see the marks left by a row of needles on the edge of his forehead.
I have a guess, this dwarf bucktooth can't be plastic surgery, and it's made himself into a bad three?
In the meantime, Bucktooth came to us with the Tibetan. The dwarf bucktooth also pointed to the Tibetan and said to Brother Nu, "This is a new bricklayer who has come to report, can Brother Nu take a look?" β
Brother Nu looked at it casually, he nodded, and said that he would come with me in a while and start work immediately.
Hu Zi snorted, pointed at the Tibetan, and asked Brother Nu, "Why didn't he fill out the form?" β
As soon as these words came out, Brother Nu and Dwarf Bucktooth both looked at the beard. The dwarf bucktooth snorted, and took out a very bullish posture, and moved closer to the two of us.
Bucktooth had to look up at me and the beard because he was short.
Dwarf Bucktooth asked, "Where did you come from?" It's not big or small, how can you talk to Brother Nu, how did your parents educate you? β
I thought to myself that this dwarf was too ugly to hear, and that he was very choking.
Beard couldn't help himself, and he took a step forward. He was already close to the dwarf bucktooth, and all of a sudden, the beard hit the dwarf bucktooth's body.
How strong is the bearded body? After such a collision, he was carried by that force, and the short bucktooth couldn't bear it and took half a step back.
Beard smiled contemptuously. Bucktooth's face was very bad, and he asked Brother Nu again, "These two are new bricklayers?" β
Brother Nu nodded. I noticed that the dwarf buckteeth were blushing all of a sudden, and there was a posture of gnashing teeth. I couldn't figure out where the dwarf's anger came from, but I tried to think deeper.
I remember that Lu Sha said that the two places of me and Beard were specially applied for by him and Bianba, and he squeezed out the other two people who were originally scheduled.
I wonder if there's something to say about it, or even something to do with dwarf buckteeth.
But I didn't have a chance to ask, and Brother Nu leaned into the ear of the dwarf bucktooth and muttered a few words.
The dwarf bucktooth took out a look of sudden realization, and muttered, "Damn, so that's it." Then he stared at us again and said, "Your fate is great." β
I frowned as he listened, because he was still so choked.
I don't like this kind of person the most, and I'm wondering how to damage my buckteeth, and who knows that the beard speaks first.
He looked up at the window and said to me a few times, "Brother have you noticed, this sky is very low, clouds or something, very close to us, you said that we have a lot of lives, unlike some people, the sky is not afraid of falling, after all, there are so many people for him." β
This is actually a secret mockery of the height of the dwarf buckteeth, how can the dwarf buckteeth not hear it.
As it happened, Rusha came back at this time. The moment he entered the door, Brother Nu and Dwarf Bucktooth both changed their attitudes, and even the two security guards all smiled.
Rusha seemed to sense something, after all, my face and my beard were a little cold.
Rusha also knew the dwarf buckteeth, and he had a few polite words with them, especially when he mentioned that we would get together for a drink in a few days.
These people all replied enthusiastically. Then Rusha asked the two of us, "What's the matter?" β
The beard took out a gesture of wanting to say something, and I shook my head, after all, I felt that what I had just done was a trivial matter, and there was no need to block Lusha.
Lusha stayed for a while, then said goodbye to us completely, and before leaving, Lusha looked at the dwarf bucktooth with great meaning.
Bucktooth immediately took his leave, leaving the servant behind and leaving with Rusha.
Brother Nu watched the two of them go away. He waved at us again, which meant that we should go with him.
We followed him into the gates of the Doge's Palace. Brother Nu took the opportunity to tell us some precautions.
In fact, most of them are clichΓ©s, nothing worth noting, but there is also a place, I listened very carefully, in the Governor's Palace, you have to work ten hours a day, and the daily wage is two hundred rupees, which is definitely the highest salary for bricklayers in the entire Dawang area, and it is settled at the beginning of each month, and the Governor's Palace also provides three meals and accommodation, but this is casual, if you have a home in Tawang, you may also go home at night.
Brother Nu thought about the Tibetan, and he finally muttered again, and specially told the Tibetan the precautions.
We don't have a problem with any of that. And after we walked for a while, we came to the place where it was being built.
My first impression was that it was spectacular, with small covered "palaces", bridges being built over the river, ponds and paved brick roads.
Nu Ge told me to wait with Hu Zi in the same place, and he left with the Tibetan first.
My brothers and I couldn't walk for a while, so we had to look around under the scorching sun.
In fact, during this period, there were also many working helpers, who also looked at us from afar.
Their expressions were different, some were unfriendly, and some were smiling coldly. I don't understand what these people are thinking.
As for the beard, he set his eyes on an unkempt old man not far away.
At first glance, this old man reminded me of Einstein, because he had a head shape and a rickety figure, and he was different from the other helpers, who were all in groups of threes and twos, and at least had a companion, while he was squatting alone by a pond, silently carving wood on a row of handrails.
Beard fed me and told me to take a look at the old man.
I listened to him and looked at it closely, but the problem was, I couldn't see anything very special.
I asked what happened to the beard? "This old man is not easy," said the beard, "especially when he is a carpenter." β
Of course, I didn't believe what Beard said, and I retorted, "You said you knew bricklayer before, why do you know carpentry now?" And you used to be a thief, can you be reliable? β
Beard smiled, and he said it wasn't impulsive. Then he explained, "Don't look at me as a thief, but I have vision and insight." He made it for me to show me the handrails that the old man had carved. It was full of carved finished products.
The beard said, "Do you know the ancient six workers? β
I shook my head. The beard snapped his fingers and said, "I remember someone told me about it, it seems to be from the Book of Rites." What's that going on? β
Hu Zi took out a contemplative posture, and then added, "The six crafts of the Son of Heaven are said: earthwork, metalwork, masonry, carpentry, veterinary work, and grass work, and the six materials are pawned. And the carpenters here are actually carpenters, they are a big school, the earliest can be traced back to Lubanmen. And if you look at this old guy, that craftsmanship and appearance, is it very similar to Lu Ban? β
I had heard the words of the beard, especially when he had even figured out the old words, and I really believed it, but in the end he almost ran away with his mouth full.
I said in my heart that he could pull it down, and he hadn't seen what Chief Lu Ban looked like.
I waved my hand and told him to stop.
But the beard has a good impression of this old man, don't look at me nonsense, but his eyes are always on this old fellow.
After a while, Brother Nu came back alone.
He arranged work for the two of us, which meant that we went to the pond and helped the group of people who built the bridge to carry cement and bricks.
My first reaction was to sigh and put it bluntly, we were in charge of the handling, which in some businesses is also known as water spiders. I thought to myself, this job is not very technical, it is very easy to do.
As for the beard, he did the opposite of what I thought, and his face sank.
He asked Brother Nu, "We are bricklayers, how do you arrange the work of the laborers?" β
Brother Nu's face also tensed, and he retorted, "What is the bricklayer in contact with?" Sand, cement and bricks, you say, you two go to transport cement and bricks, isn't that not the category of bricklayers? β
The beard was angry and wanted to argue with Brother Nu. But Brother Nu finally said, "Do you want to do it?" β
The beard was speechless. I said in my heart that he was more serious, and we were not real helpers, and we couldn't work in the Governor's Mansion for long, so why did he really do so much.
I took over again, and even slapped a few sycophants incorrectly.
Brother Nu took out a very unpleasant posture to look at the beard, and after glaring at the beard a few more times, he turned around and left.
He also went to the pond to shout a few words, and pointed to me and his beard halfway. I guess he was telling the workers who were building the bridge that Beard and I were going to give them a hand in a moment.
During this time, I also comforted the beard a few words. The beard has been opened a lot.
Not far from us, there were piles of green bricks and cement as high as a hill, plus two small carts.
My brother and I walked there. I found that the workers who were building the bridge were not very authentic, and some people immediately shouted at us, which means that there are fifteen truckloads of cement missing, and the new ones should be transported quickly.
My beard and I didn't even rest, so we got busy...... And after such a busy life, a fork in the road also came.
