Chapter 29: Hell
After changing her clothes, Liu Xiaohua found that the word 'pick up' was written on her clothes.
She looks at other people's. Some people are like her, and some people are different from her. The three branches are followed by the words "baked".
Siniang divided the people in the clothes according to the words on the clothes. Then he called a few people who looked like stewards and took them away.
Liu Xiaohua and Sanzhi separated.
Liu Xiaohua's team has four people. They were taken to a warehouse full of medicinal herbs. There were already a dozen people working on the work, and these people were scattered around the room, sorting the herbs by size and color, and placing them in different baskets.
The one in charge of these people was a woman in her thirties. It's called scooping the mother.
Her face was calm and she looked very difficult to deal with. Use a sharp voice to ask these newcomers to find a random place to squat down and do things.
Liu Xiaohua remembered that she hadn't been able to go back to deliver a letter to Atai, so she hurriedly said to Niang: "I told Siniang that I would go back and report a letter and come back." ”
Scooping the mother didn't look at her, sat on the chair by the door with her legs crossed, and said, "Then you go." Who won't let you go? He sneered.
Liu Xiaohua hesitated for a moment, so she had to stop mentioning this matter, and squatted down to learn from the people next to her to classify the medicinal materials.
Before she could pick up the first fruit, a woman who came in with her suddenly screamed.
It turned out that when the woman reached for the nearest fruit, the fruit that looked like a white radish suddenly jumped up and bit her. She exclaimed and hurriedly stepped back, trying to shake off the fruit, but she collapsed into the pile of medicinal herbs. Suddenly, the fruit jumped up, and she bit so much that her whole body was full, and she didn't let go.
The newcomers all stayed where they were.
The women who had been working here were accustomed to it, and went up unhurriedly, and beat her with broomsticks and faces, and soon all the fruits were knocked down.
But the woman was so frightened that although she was rescued, she still had a lot of bite marks on her body, especially her exposed hands and face. She couldn't help but cry.
The others were horrified. They had never seen anything like it.
Liu Xiaohua looked at those little things and was even more shocked.
Scooping the mother laughed. Shaking his feet, he said, "I don't ask clearly, I just reach out and grab it, who will you bite if I don't bite you?" He scolded her again, "I don't have any brains in doing things." ”
The woman cried and said, "Can you give me some medicine, what should I do if my face is broken?" ”
Scooping Niang snorted coldly: "If you break the phase, you also made it yourself." Administration? I'll talk about that when I'm done. He ignored her and rebuked the other newcomers, "You are all a little vigilant in what you do." This immortal fruit has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, how can you reach out and grab it? If you don't understand, don't you know how to ask? Something is going to happen then, do you blame me?! ”
Liu Xiaohua knew that scooping her mother was giving them a dismount. Hurriedly asked humbly: "Then what are we going to do?" Please also advise. ”
Scooping the mother is really proud. The word 'show down' was very useful to her. "Although this longevity fruit likes to bite people, it is fine as long as it pulls the tassels on its head. If it is bitten, hit it with grass. It doesn't like the smell of grass and it loosens right away. Don't grab it and pull it hard, I can tear off a piece of your flesh alive. In addition, long-lived fruits are white, pink, and black. The medicinal properties are also different. White can be used to save people, pink is a little worse, but it can also be used. But black is poisonous and cannot be used. If you divide one wrongly, you will die. When the time comes, don't blame no one for reminding you. ”
Liu Xiaohua listened respectfully and thanked her for her teaching.
Scooping Niang looked sacrosanct and said to these people, "In the future, you will be under my control." If you don't understand anything, just ask me. ”
Liu Xiaohua smiled and said: "Siniang said that even if you want to communicate with your relatives outside, you must also tell you first." You're going to have to do it. ”
The scooping mother couldn't help but say, "That's certain." Don't talk about this, even if you don't do well, I can drive you away without telling anyone. ”
When the newcomers heard this, they became more honest, and hurriedly squatted back to do things.
Scooping the mother only sat for a while, and then she didn't know where she had gone.
Maybe you're standing outside in the yard chatting with someone? From time to time, her voice could be heard.
She was gone, and the atmosphere in the room relaxed. Several people immediately dropped their things and sat down on the ground to rest.
When Liu Xiaohua asked, she found out that they had been in a hurry to pick up medicine for the past few days and had not slept enough for two hours. Now seize the slightest opportunity to doze off.
Of the four newcomers, one was still crying. The other two were suspicious, ran to Liu Xiaohua's side and muttered, "Scoop Niang, I said that you can rest after picking these up." When will they be able to get their share like this? When will we be able to rest? This is because Liu Xiaohua reminded Siniang of her name before, so they were more willing to discuss things with her.
Liu Xiaohua was helpless.
After thinking about it, he took the handles made of grass, divided one by one, and said, "Pull them slowly one by one with our hands, and we will use this to sweep the same color into a pile." When the time comes, just live in a pile and sweep it in the basket. ”
When those people heard it, it seemed good, and they also saved the danger of being bitten. And immediately he got busy as she said. Two people were responsible for roughly sweeping out the three color piles, and Liu Xiaohua and the others took two straw poles to make long chopsticks, and picked up the missing elixirs into the right pile.
When the scooping mother came back, she found that so many people were sleeping on the spot, and she was so angry that she scolded. But she didn't dismiss these people as she said. I was so angry that I hit them a few times with a broom made of grass.
Those who were caught sleeping screamed exaggeratedly a few times and hurriedly got up.
After scooping the girl, she turned her head and found that the longevity fruits had been almost divided, and she couldn't help but be stunned. knew that Liu Xiaohua came up with the idea, so he looked a little better for her. After all, if these people are too slow, even she has to stay here and can't rest. After asking clearly, he called all the skilled workers and did what Liu Xiaohua said.
In order to show his good impression of Liu Xiaohua, he also took the initiative to chat with her. said angrily to Liu Xiaohua, "It was better at first, but now there are so many lazy people, I can't manage it!" If we were as diligent as you, I don't know how much better life would be. ”
Liu Xiaohua had a plan in her heart, and hurriedly made a sympathetic look, and sighed: "No matter whether you do something or not, you will take the same money, those diligent hearts are unwilling, and naturally they are unwilling to do their best after a long time." He disagreed, saying, "It is not difficult for everyone to be dedicated." ”
"Isn't it difficult?" Scooping Niang sneered, "If you come up with a way, Mr. Big will thank you." Now others are waiting to get the pill, but we can't hand it over. He was dying. It's not all dragged down by these lazy people! Seeing that Liu Xiaohua just smiled, she said suspiciously: "If you have any ideas, you might as well tell me." I'll see if I can do it. ”
Liu Xiaohua lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "It's better to stop giving less money every month in the future." Switch to counting to give money. One person is given a basket, and how much money is given to her for every ten catties picked up. After a month, you will naturally earn more money by working diligently. Everyone is here to make money, which one wouldn't want to make more money? Not only to pick up medicine, but also to do other things elsewhere, can also be imitated. ”
The lady was overjoyed when she heard this, and said, "So that's the case." Immediately, he said, "I have thought of such a simple method a long time ago." "Wave your hand at her" Okay, go do things, don't stay here to be lazy. ”
Liu Xiaohua went back to pick up the fruits. After a while, I saw the ladle leave in a hurry.
After the heavy physical labor, the night soon began to fall, Liu Xiaohua returned to the house where she lived after finishing the day's work, and collapsed on the bed, feeling that her whole body seemed to fall apart.
Sanzhi, who came back late, also complained. First of all, because the two of them didn't have time to live outside to deliver letters, they were afraid that Atai would be worried. And because the room where the medicine was baked was too hot, it made people breathless and annoyed. "As soon as I went today, within a few moments, a man fell. They didn't even need to see a doctor, they just carried the person out and threw him at the door of the workshop. Fortunately, I woke up later, what if I died? ”
But I can only complain. What can people do under the roof?
When eating, it is even more irritating.
It is said that it is in charge of food and housing, but it turns out that how many meals and dishes are eaten must be recorded in the account. It will be deducted from the salary every month. Therefore, Liu Xiaohua and Sanzhi didn't dare to eat more at all, so they could only eat the cheapest multigrain rice.
Although both of them were dissatisfied and had to confide in each other after a stomach, but because they were too tired, the two of them fell asleep quickly after eating, and they didn't have the spirit to think about things or chat at all.
The night went on like this, and early the next morning, before dawn, everyone was called up again and gathered in the open space in the backyard. There are more than 100 people who are all working. The backyard was packed. Everyone looked exhausted. Liu Xiaohua thought of the time when she was studying in the past, she stayed up late every time for a better future, in order to study in a better school, her future was hopeful. But here, they live this life just so that they don't starve to death.
Standing in the midst of this, she felt as if she was in the hell of Abi, and it was not a human being who stood with her, but a ghost locked in the 'bitter hell', and she would have to live this endless and hopeless life here for the rest of her life. Day after day, year after year. From small to old, from birth to death.
She gripped Sanzhi's hand tightly, especially hoping that both of them would get out of here quickly.
Siniang stood at the front of these people. Loudly announce that starting today, there will no longer be a fixed amount of money per person per month. Although the detailed rules are a little different from what Liu Xiaohua said, the supremacy of the big is a direction.
As soon as this matter was announced, some people were happy and some were worried. Sanzhi was very happy and said to Liu Xiaohua excitedly: "As long as we suffer hard, we can make more money." ”
Liu Xiaohua was also very happy because things were going well.
She is anxious to make the most money in the shortest possible time.
After explaining the new system, Siniang asked everyone to go back to their own workshops.
Liu Xiaohua walked for a while and looked back, scooping Niang was very proud to stand behind Siniang, and said something happily with Mr. Na.
When Liu Xiaohua and the others went to the workshop, they found that the person in charge of this side had changed their faces. When asked about scooping the mother, the person said, "The lady has made a great contribution and has been assigned to do other things, how can she still do this kind of hard work." ”
Several girls who came at the same time as Liu Xiaohua looked at Liu Xiaohua.
They all know about yesterday.
There was a person named Duoxi, who immediately moved to Liu Xiaohua's side, and said with an angry face: "It's obvious that she robbed you of your credit." It's shameless. Do you want to go to Siniang to complain? I can help you testify! In the future, you won't have to work so hard to pick up medicine here. "It's not a small sound.
The new steward immediately frowned and looked at the two of them.
Liu Xiaohua shook her head: "There is no matter." ”
Duoxi was stunned for a moment, and immediately said with concern and dissatisfaction: "Don't be stupid!" Are you afraid of her? Don't be afraid! She's the one who is shameless! Even if you sue Mr. Big, I will help you testify, what are you afraid of? Are you willing? ”
Siniang was passing by the door with the guest and following Mr. Da, and when she heard the movement over there, she stopped and looked over there with a smile.
Mr. Big frowned and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Scooping Niang angrily defended, "This little hoof, pure nonsense!" Secretly pulled Siniang's cuffs.
Siniang frowned, but then smiled and said, "It's not surprising, people want to climb up." Then he said to the ladle, "You are sitting upright, where can you be falsely accused?" Even if they come to kill you, there's nothing to be afraid of. How could they, the mountain village girls, come up with such a good way before their wisdom was opened? Ordinary people know the twists and turns as soon as they hear it, and Mr. Big is not a fool. ”
The old gentleman frowned and said, "The poor mountains and lowly waters give birth to the people. He said to the guest behind him, "Laugh." Let's go to the front Danfang. The medicine that Childe asked for was over there. ”
The guest smiled softly, waved his hand and said, "Where." The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. There are too many people doing things, and they still have to be strictly controlled, otherwise they will be full of tongues. Then he followed Mr. Big.
When Scooping Niang saw that this was the case, she had the confidence to say to Siniang: "You can't let them talk nonsense and ruin my reputation." You have to teach them a lesson! He said angrily that he was going to catch Liu Xiaohua.
But at this time, Liu Xiaohua, who had her back to this side, shook off Duoxila's own hand and said angrily: "I'm doing things well, you keep pulling me to say these irrelevant words, what are you going to do?" ”
Duoxi didn't expect her to react so much, and unwillingly let go of her hand, and hurriedly said, "What's your name!" Am I still good for you? ”
"I don't know what you're good for me. If you don't want to pick fruit here, go to the steward and say to me, and say something I don't understand, and say it's for my own good? What is your purpose? ”
Taki glared at her fiercely, and then immediately walked away.
She just wanted to tie up with Liu Xiaohua and get some benefits from this incident. If Liu Xiaohua can fight for benefits, it will also be her credit, if not, she will play a slippery head and get out, and it will not be a big deal.
Now I know that Liu Xiaohua is helpless if she doesn't listen to her instigation. scolded Liu Xiaohua for "being honest and treacherous", and squatted back to pick up the immortal fruit for a while.
The guest walked slowly, and these words all fell into his ears, and although he did not look back, the corners of his mouth turned upward.
Seeing Liu Xiaohua send away the three joys like this, the face of the scooping mother was better.
After sending off Mr. Big and the guests away. Siniang frowned and said to Scooping Niang: "Now is the time for a shortage of people, since they don't look for trouble, don't bother with it." Otherwise, if we delay Mr. Big's business, we will also suffer sin. If there are any more troublemakers in the future, just drive them all away! ”
Scooping the mother hurriedly smiled and said yes. Stuff the contents of her sleeve into her hand.
Siniang knew the severity when she pinched it in her hand, smiled and put it away. Say, "Don't cause trouble." Busy with your go. "Scoop the mother and leave.
Siniang waited for her to go away, stood in place and thought about it, and said to the person in charge, "Call Liu Xiaohua out." ”
Liu Xiaohua put down the fruit in her hand, walked out with her eyebrows down, knowing that her opportunity had come
