Chapter 1409: Old Don't Be Ashamed of You
"Satsuki?" The old man stopped what he was doing, twisted his gray eyebrows and thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "Oh, you said that little girl? I heard that she managed to get acquainted with the youngest son of a family in the town and became a concubine for others! β
"What?! As a concubine? Cheng Mengying thought she had heard it wrong, and confirmed again: "You mean she went to be a little wife for others?" β
"Isn't it?" The old man shook his head and sighed helplessly: "How can a little girl like her, who is young and has some appearance, be willing to do this kind of hard work all the time? In the past, many poor young women who came to work couldn't stand the temptation of glory and wealth, and ran to be concubines for others, and I don't know what happened later! β
"No...... No way? Satsuki is actually a person who loves vanity? Why didn't I find out......" Cheng Mengying muttered to herself in shock, feeling a little unacceptable.
Although she often heard Xiaoyue complain about the unfairness of fate, Cheng Mengying always thought that she just liked fantasy and was more naΓ―ve, but she didn't expect her to leave so suddenly, and disappeared without even saying hello.
"How not?" The old man glanced at Cheng Mengying and said lightly: "A few days ago, she kept asking me about the rich children in the town, and I knew as soon as I heard that she couldn't continue to endure hardships, and it was only a matter of time before she left here!" β
After finishing speaking, the old man didn't bother to pay attention to the stunned Cheng Mengying, and turned around to do his own work.
Cheng Mengying felt as if she had been struck by lightning at this time, and she was completely speechless.
She also admits that the drunken world of flowers outside does have an incomparably huge temptation for a young girl whose mind is not yet mature, but if she stands on her own side. She will never marry someone she doesn't know the details casually because of money or power, what is the difference between this and selling herself?
What's more, Xiaoyue still married into the family as a concubine, which is even more unacceptable to Cheng Mengying!
"Yo, Aunt Cheng. Seeing you like this, shouldn't you be tempted too? The Xishan Giant Bull happened to pass by at this time, looking at Cheng Mengying's thoughtful appearance, he carried a wooden barrel containing quenching materials, and teased with an evil smile: "Why don't you learn from that Xiaoyue, just find a rich kid to marry, and then wait until the wedding night, and I will sneak in at night to help you knock people out." Get all the spirit crystals out of his house, so that we don't have to do coolies anymore, what do you think? β
Hearing the proposal of the Xishan Giant Bull, Cheng Mengying couldn't help but be angry, and simply kicked him hard, glaring at him and scolding angrily: "you!" Why don't you go and be a concubine, and then Miss Ben will find a way to rescue you! Thinking about something all day long, aren't you ashamed? Don't hurry up and get to work! β
"Ouch, hey......" The giant bull of Xishan was kicked by surprise. Suddenly, I felt a pain in my calf, and my center of gravity was unstable and fell to the side. The barrel in his hand tilted slightly, and some of the quenching material inside leaked out and dripped into another barrel containing other materials.
But at this time, the Xishan Giant Bull was trying to maintain its center of gravity, and did not notice anything unusual at all, and Cheng Mengying did not notice this situation, but just snorted. I'm ready to go back to where I worked.
"Hey, that old cow, the raw materials in these pots have been almost quenched, you can add that bucket of star rainbow oil to it!" The old man who had been chatting with Cheng Mengying before happened to check all the cauldrons, turned around and commanded at the Xishan Giant Bull.
"Good, good. I'm coming! The Xishan Giant Bull hurriedly agreed, then put down the wooden barrel in his hand, picked up another wooden barrel containing Xinghong oil on the ground and ran over.
"Slow down, slow down, you pay attention to the amount of additives, don't blow it up again like last time!" The old man looked at the way the Xishan Giant Bull trotted all the way, and couldn't help but admonish.
Xishan Giant Niu carefully poured Xinghong oil into each pot, and proudly showed off: "Lao Zhang, don't worry!" I'm a journeyman now, how could I make that kind of low-level mistake? β
"Hehe, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!" The old man, who was called Lao Zhang, grinned and said with a smile: "After all, these are all dangerous materials, if you are not careful, you ...... it."
Lao Zhang's half of the words were pinched in his throat, he inadvertently swept his eyes just now, and felt that something was wrong, Huo Ran looked down, only to find that the materials in the pot were constantly changing color, and immediately sank his face, and said sharply: "This color is not right!" What did you put in there? You're probably confusing other materials, are you? β
"How is that possible!" The Xishan Giant Niu was stunned, flatly denied it, picked up the barrel and argued: "What I put is obviously Xinghong Oil!" See for yourself, there's some leftovers here! β
After finishing speaking, the Xishan Giant Bull handed over the barrel, Lao Zhang looked into the barrel, and found that there was some yellow-brown material left at the bottom, which was indeed Xinghong oil, but if you looked closely, you could still find some purple sticky matter floating on it.
"No, look at that purple thing, it's obvious that other materials have been mixed in!" Lao Zhang saw the problem at a glance, pointed to the purple things and said.
"Huh? This is not my ......" Xishan Giant Bull found out about this situation, his expression was a little surprised, and he was about to say that he didn't do it himself, Lao Zhang happened to look up at the cauldron, and suddenly his face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Everyone run!" These materials are going to explode! Find a safe place to take refuge! β
After that, Lao Zhang didn't care to listen to the explanation of the Xishan Giant Bull, and took the lead in escaping the scene in stride, and the other laborers nearby were also shocked when they heard this, so they hurriedly put down the work in their hands and took refuge in the wooden house not far away.
Seeing the strange purple smoke coming out of the five or six cauldrons in front of him, the Xishan giant bull was alarmed in his heart, and immediately beckoned Cheng Mengying, who had walked not far away, and quickly ran away in the direction of the wooden house.
Although I don't know how powerful the explosion was as strong as Lao Zhang said, the Xishan Giant Niu can feel that the problem this time must be very serious, and the entire backyard will be destroyed in one fell swoop!
"Boom, boom!"
Sure enough, not long after the Xishan Giant Niu and Cheng Mengying hid in the cabin, several cauldrons in the middle of the courtyard made an earth-shattering noise at the same time, and the purple slime inside instantly erupted into the air, like a beautiful and strange fountain.
