Chapter 10: Grievance and Humiliation

The two of them walked cautiously in Zhang Yuanwai's house, and walked along the stone-paved path to the backyard kitchen.

The short-necked cook is busy sorting out the kitchen utensils, with piles of dishes and chopsticks ready to be cleaned in front of the desk, and a larger stack of bamboo boxes next to it.

The cook saw the two of them coming from a distance, and instantly blossomed, and walked a few steps to them and said, "You two are finally here, go and carry a bucket to fetch water, this pile of things has to be washed, and the water in the pot is not enough, and you are still waiting to use it!" After saying that, he pulled up the two buckets and stuffed them into the dog's hands to urge him to hurry up!

"Don't worry, don't worry! The two of us haven't eaten breakfast yet, and our stomachs are really hungry, so anxious to go," said the dog, rubbing his stomach at the same time, and the dog next to him also hurriedly cooperated.

"I still think what's the matter, there are a few cold cooking cakes left from last night, I'll bring them to you." After speaking, he turned around and went into the kitchen, and walked out with four cooking cakes in his hand, nagging and saying as he walked: "You two take it and eat while walking, quickly fetch water, the little ladies in the backyard are about to get up, and they are still waiting to freshen up with hot soup, go quickly, don't miss the time and get punished!" Then he put the bread in their hands and urged them to go quickly.

The dog took the bread, and the brothers knew it, so they took the bucket and walked to the well in the front yard.

After all, they were young and frail, and the two of them had no strength after a few trips, only to feel that the wooden barrel carrying the water was getting heavier and heavier, and they stumbled two steps, and one of them spilled all the little water on the road without paying attention! Looking at the barrel that was spinning, the dog kicked it out with a big kick.

The dog next to him also sighed and sat down and said, "Brother Lang, we can't catch up with the chef when we mention it like this!" The tank was just half pulled, and he used it up in a blink of an eye, when will it be full. ”

The dog rubbed his feet with one hand and his head with the other and thought for a while: "Dog leftover, our brothers fell for his trick, that pile of things should have been washed last night, he deliberately waited for our brother to fetch water for him today, so he saved his strength and ran to carry water." After speaking, he patted his thigh and gritted his teeth and said, "This guy has a good plan!" ”

"Brother Lang, if you don't abandon this barrel and go to the utility room to pack your things, whatever happens to him?"

The dog shook his head and said, "No, after all, we are domestic servants, and we are not as old servants as he is in the house." If we leave, the guy will find a steward and punish us, and it is not cost-effective to continue to work even if we are fined! ”

"I see a flat pole in the kitchen, let's go and borrow it, and we can save some effort by carrying water!"

With a sigh, he went to pick up the barrel that had been kicked into the distance, and went back to the well to refill half a bucket of water and walk towards the kitchen.

But on this side, Cao Bao'er dragged Dasha out of the south city in one breath before letting go, turned his head and looked back at the gate of the city, and saw that it was far away, so he sat on the big stone on the side of the road with his legs spread.

Dasha on the side also sat next to him, just walked in a hurry, the injury on his left leg was a little painful, and he rubbed it silently with his hand and didn't make a sound!

Cao Bao'er was bored, turned her head and stared straight at Dasha. After watching the old man for a long time, he didn't see Dasha say a word, so he said angrily: "Dasha, why did you call me out early in the morning, where are you going to say something?" ”

The big fool slowly scratched his hair with his hand, and said with a blank face: "I didn't call you, I really just went to eat cooking cakes!" ”

"Nonsense, when my grandmother beat me, I clearly heard her say that Dasha is coming, and she dislikes me for sleeping in bed, so I beat me! You don't have to deny it, and you will eat and beat me in vain. ”

Dasha listened to the explanation, but saw that Ah Bao patted his ass and stood up and said: "Okay, Dasha I don't blame you, but where are we going to play today, why don't we go to find Ah Lang and the dog?" ”

Dasha said: "Brother Ah Lang and the dog are left to go to Zhang Yuanwai's house in Dongcheng, and when they come back, they will bring me some meat steamed buns and wound medicine!" ”

"Wound medicine?" Bao'er rolled her eyes, and then looked at Dasha's left leg, and instantly got along with a ghost idea. I saw him laughing and foolishly said: "Let's go to Chai Mountain, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that if someone is injured, they will go to the deep mountains and old forests to pick immortal medicine, just eat one, your leg will be healed immediately, and the most important thing is that you can grow your strength for decades!" ”

Dasha shook his head and said, "I don't want any skills, I just need to heal my leg and follow Brother Lang to eat meat steamed buns!" ”

"Very good, very good, when the time comes, we will divide half of the medicine, you treat the leg injury, I have the strength to walk the rivers and lakes, and be a hero of that generation!" After saying that, Bao'er was excited by a carp and stood in the middle of the road and played a set of messy boxing.

The big fool on the side pouted, and his heart was not as good as my fight, and then shouted loudly: "Bao'er, what should I do if I have a leg injury and can't walk that far?" ”

yes, what to do?

Cao Baoer was not in the mood to box, and the two of them squatted on the side of the road again with their heads down and thinking about the move!

I only heard the sound of horses in the distant woods, startling a flock of birds to fly into the sky. Then a team of people came out of the woods!

Looking closely at this group of men and horses, the first is five or six strong men on horseback, wearing black clothes and black robes, wearing dust-covering warm hats, wearing cooked cowhide boots under their feet, and carrying various blades on their bodies, and two of them also carry longbows! This is the nursing home of a large family.

Behind them there were three carriages, and on the left and right ends of the roof of the carriage in front of them hung small flags made of satin. On the left is written the words "Yuchuan County Lord", and on the right side is written the words Lizhou Dache Dealership.

The three carriages were followed by mules pulling a flatbed cart, and several large baskets were placed in the cart, which contained some sticks, shovels, iron pots and other materials, and an old man was sitting in front of the cart.

At the back of the line were two younger officials, who followed slowly on horseback, with a quick knife hanging from their waists!

A glance at this team of people and horses shows that there are some forces.

The common people can't afford to be provoked, and the front is carrying a basket and carrying a burden to make way.

Seeing that the convoy was about to come, Dasha was also on his legs and ready to get up to avoid it, but Cao Baoer, who was in a daze on the side, made a move that made all fools stupid. This action made Dasha think about it for five years and didn't understand!

I saw that Bao'er, who picked up the wooden stick that Dasha used as a crutch next to him, jumped to the middle of the road in three or two steps, pointed to the sturdy man who led the team in front of him and shouted: "Oh, Wuna man, I am the famous Bao'er hero of Youchuan City, I quickly abandoned my weapon, and sent a horse to take my brothers to Chai Mountain to find immortal medicine, if you are not convinced, you will come to fight with me for three hundred rounds!" After speaking, his head turned to the sky, and he looked like a hero with no one in his eyes!

This sound was interrupted, and the startled convoy and the pedestrians rushing around were silent, and for a while, there was only the heavy panting of the horses pulling the cart.

Fortunately, a soft female voice came from the carriage in front of the end: "Liu Tou, why did you stop?" ”

The man in front of the horse team who was in a daze hurriedly replied: "Mrs. Hui, two beggars stopped the carriage, I will go to cook quickly and I can leave immediately!" ”

When I heard it in the car, I saw that the side curtain was lifted, and I couldn't see what was inside. After lifting it for a moment, he put it down, and then a soft voice came from the car: "I was informed by Sun Lang from the letter earlier that this Youchuan County is remote and often ravaged by war, and there is not much land to cultivate, so the people under his rule are many poor and destitute. I've always complained that he was perfunctory to me, but now I understand Sun Lang's difficulties. ”

"That's it, Liu Tou rewarded some copper coins and hurried away, don't hurt them!" After saying that, the car stopped.

Liu Tou, who was outside the car, responded to the promise, turned his horse's head and walked to Cao Bao'er, who was blocking the road. took out a handful of copper coins from the money bag in his arms and didn't count them, but scattered them directly at Bao'er's feet, and when the voice rolled away, he was about to turn around and return to the convoy!

Na Bao'er's face turned red with anger when she saw it, and she gritted her teeth and said loudly: "You man, how dare you insult me like this, leave now!" Let's have a big fight with my hero! With that, he raised his stick and rushed towards the man!

The man laughed when he saw it, and said, it's good to come! grabbed the spear in his hand, saw him, and with a light slap of the gun, Cao Bao'er plunged into the weeds on the side of the road with a pop.

Dasha on the side saw that he was busy limping to save him, but the man on the horse stretched out his spear and was about to pull Dasha, wanting him to plunge into the grass like Bao'er. Saying that it was too late, Dasha raised his arms to block, and rolled to Bao'er with the force of the spear, and pulled Bao'er to protect him.

The man, with a soft pout, stretched out his spear and was about to provoke the fool. Who knew that the stupid man knelt down with his legs and kowtowed three times and said: "Uncle spare my life, my brother just wants to find a car and take me to Chai Mountain to find immortal medicine and treat my leg injury, I don't have the courage to rob all the heroes, I have no intention of colliding, and I hope to forgive you." After saying this, he burst into tears, and while crying, he showed him his bleeding left leg.

The man saw that Dasha was crying and his voice was boring, so he pulled the reins and rode back to the front of the convoy. Immediately after that, the convoy restarted and walked towards Yukawa Castle.

Dasha saw that the man had gone away before he let out a sigh, and was about to get up to take care of Bao'er, when he saw a head suddenly emerge from the side window of the second carriage passing by, with a pair of big eyes on his white and tender face, and a pair of small tiger teeth exposed under the bridge of his round nose were smiling at Dasha. After laughing, he stretched out a hand and gave a thumbs up. Then the scolding of an old grandmother sounded in the car, and the little brain retracted into the car.

Dasha was stunned, he couldn't think of how such a sturdy car could grow a small head, and it was gone, scratching his head and throwing it behind his head, and turned around to look at Bao'er.

This Bao'er was pulling the grass clippings on her hair angrily, and she was relieved at the moment, knowing that the man was not struggling, otherwise Bao'er would have already broken her head and was bleeding, but it was not like now that she just soiled her clothes and was not injured at all. I've seen my father use a big gun to smash a fist-sized fruit tree in the yard with just one collapse, and then my mother chased and beat me all over the yard with a broom!

Dasha didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to squat in front of him and help him pull the grass clippings on his body. Na Bao'er pushed Dasha away, stood up and said fiercely: "I have a little back today, I met a good man, and I will fight with him when I find the elixir and get the skill!" ”

Dasha on the side thought about it and echoed him and nodded: "My father is such a powerful person, and when he sees my mother, he also asks for mercy again and again, and I guess she also took some kind of immortal medicine to be so powerful!" ”

Saying this, Bao'er next to him also became happy. The two of them pouted and struggled to pick up the copper coins on the ground.
