296. 296. I have wronged you
Xiao Zhengzi said, took out a little broken silver from his arms and handed it to Grandpa Xia.
Seeing that Qian Yankai was talking about people like Father-in-law Xia, when he saw the silver with white flowers, his round little eyes immediately lit up, and he didn't shirk it, he took it directly and put it in his arms, and said busily:
"Father-in-law Zheng can rest assured, I promise that they can support their old age, I promise."
In fact, what he was thinking at the moment was that if he could give him silver, it would prove that Gonggong Zheng took more, and he didn't have to be soft at all, which he deserved.
Xiao Zhengzi patted him on the shoulder again and said:
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
With that, he glanced back at the three of them, then turned to leave.
Father-in-law Xia nodded all the way and sent Xiao Zhengzi away respectfully, and then walked back while carrying the silver, and when he walked back to the steward's room, he saw that the three of them were still standing there, and couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his arms to cover his mouth and nose, looking disgusted.
He didn't look at the three of them any more, and only said to the eunuch beside him:
"Hurry up, send them down to work."
"Yes, father-in-law."
The eunuch led the three of them through the crooked verandah, and then came to the courtyard of the incense delivery room, pinched his nose and said:
"Go, go, go...... If you see if you don't, follow them and learn a little. ”
The eunuch's voice was neither male nor female, but it was even more difficult to hear when he pinched his nose and spoke, and he turned around and left after speaking.
When the three of them saw that he was far away, they glanced at each other, and then looked at the place where the eunuch pointed just now.
The courtyard was very large, and the eunuchs who sent the incense room were really as Xiao Zhengzi said, all of them were old, weak, sick and disabled, and their bodies were weak, as if a gust of wind could blow them away.
They picked up the toilets they had collected one by one, opened the lids, poured the excrement into two large wooden barrels, and then put the empty toilets on the car, and a special person was responsible for stacking them, tightening them with ropes to prevent them from falling, and preparing to transport them out of the city.
When the waste is dumped, the contents will inevitably burst out, and the people who work are covered with yellow soup and stained with an unpleasant stench.
The little eunuch with a yellow face and thin muscles looked at it, then turned around and couldn't help retching, and the people who worked looked at it this way, but they all looked sluggish, like a group of emotionless people, and they just glanced at it, and continued to work, without feeling the three new people.
The chubby little eunuch pulled the corner of the yellow muscle thin little eunuch of the ramen noodles and whispered:
"Li Guiren, I know that you are pampered, even if you are in the cold palace, with Xiao Zhengzi taking care of you, you have not suffered any grievances. But this time it's different, you'd better tighten your skin, and if someone finds out, none of us want to live. ”
Listening to Lin Ling'er's warning, Li Guiren hurriedly covered her mouth, nodded with her eyebrows down, and didn't dare to refute, whether she could successfully escape or not would depend on the two people around her, if she was allowed to be here alone, she wouldn't dare.
The black-faced eunuch with a mole face secretly shook Lin Ling'er's hand and whispered:
"Are you okay?"
This person is naturally Tuoba Jiuxiao.
Lin Ling'er smiled lightly:
"You are the prince, she is a nobleman, I am a maid, I have suffered the hardships you have not suffered, I have done the work you have not done, although this work is dirty and tired, but as long as you can escape, this is nothing, let me stay in the dung bucket I will do it."
She said softly, but firmly, which made Tuoba Jiuxiao chuckle.
She glanced at the man next to her, he was always so heroic and mighty on weekdays, and now although he was in good shape, he couldn't see this face at all, and he was such a high-ranking person, he actually endured this, which really made her admire.
Of course, in addition to admiration, there is also the distress of being a lover.
She shook his hand vigorously and added:
"It's you, it's so wronged to dress you up like this and let you work here...... It's all to blame on that little Zhengzi, it's not good to think of anything, but he came up with such a bad idea, and when I catch him in the future, I have to pick up his pants and give him a good meal. ”
Although the disguise tool was lost, but the ability and skills of the disguise are still in her heart, there are no tools, she asked Xiao Zhengzi to find some simple materials, it is impossible to make a new dough, can only do some hands and feet on the original appearance of the person, and this kind of disguise can not last long, can only be maintained for three or five days, the premise is that you can't wash your face.
For example, if the face of the noble lady is made yellow, and the corners of her eyes are drooping downward, she has been almost forgotten, so that no one will recognize her.
made Tuoba Jiuxiao into a black face and had melanoma, his silver hair, she also dyed it black, made herself a little fat man, so as to cover her slightly bulging lower abdomen, two steamed buns in her cheeks, and then smeared a layer of rice milk and a layer of grass juice on her face.
Tuoba Jiuxiao pretended to wipe his sweat, but in fact he turned his head to look at her and said affectionately:
"I wronged you."
She looked at him, her eyes instantly moistened, and she only needed this sentence to understand his intentions.
If she hadn't followed him here to take revenge, then she would still be in Luo Cuixuan in Wani, living a life of being served by people and clothed with fine clothes.
And he knew that it was her, but he insisted on revenge and did not change his original intention, and the two of them fell into today's field together, in order to escape for their lives, they actually had to pretend to be eunuchs and work in this dirtiest and darkest incense delivery room, it was he who did not protect her, and he affected her, so, in addition to love, he was full of guilt.
She swallowed the tears back into her stomach, gave him a bright smile, and stared only into his eyes and said three words:
"I-will-will!"
After speaking, she let go of his hand and took the lead towards the crowd, she wants to join them, from now on, she is an ordinary eunuch in the incense delivery room, she also has to do the work they do, she also has to eat the food they eat, and she also has to dye the stench on their bodies, so that she can integrate into them and become a real incense giver.
Tuoba Jiuxiao looked at her stubborn back, her eyes were a little red, and then followed.
Seeing that the two of them had already walked over, Li Guiren didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and silently followed the footsteps of the two.
This kind of work is very simple, there is no technical content, but it requires absolute courage, Lin Ling'er held her breath and picked up a toilet, this is a small urinal, also known as "Gong bucket", the weight of the barrel itself plus the waste inside, it doesn't feel light to carry, she seems a little difficult, after all, she is pregnant, and her movement is always limited.
Just turned around to go to the big wooden barrel, but the gong bucket in her hand was snatched away, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that it was Tuoba Jiuxiao who took away the things in her hand, turned around and walked away.
She bit her lower lip, knowing that he felt sorry for her, even if she lived with him in a place like the incense delivery room, her heart was sweet.
When Tuoba Jiuxiao came back after sending a gong bucket, she brought up another one, and then she only heard him whisper:
"Just be here and hand me the stuff."
To give him peace of mind, she nodded gently.
Even if everyone finds out that something is wrong with the two of them, no one cares, and no one will ask, they are all people who can't even protect themselves, living at the bottom of society, without dignity, no human rights, and even no right to live, their eyes are dark, their expressions are dull, because no one treats them as people, so gradually, they themselves have become inhumane, just a walking corpse that only cares about their own lives.
After the toilet was emptied, the rest of the work was to transport the excrement to Gongtian, and then pull the empty toilet out of the city, clean it by the river ten miles outside the city, and then transport it back.
All the toilets were loaded on fifty-eight donkey carts, neatly stacked layer by layer, tightened with ropes, tied firmly, the eunuchs who delivered the incense room stood by the carts in two teams, and the eunuchs who drove the carts gave an order, and the fifty-eight donkey carts made a creaking cry, and lined up to go out of the incense delivery room in turn.
The three of them walked at the end of the line, and Tuoba Jiuxiao kept looking at the two eunuchs who were gesturing with horsewhips, and when they saw that the donkey carts had gone out, they laughed and walked to the steward's room.
Seeing their figures hidden in the corner of the verandah, Tuoba Jiuxiao hurriedly grabbed Lin Ling'er and Li Guiren, and quietly returned to the incense delivery room.
"Aren't we going out with us?"
Lin Ling'er didn't understand what he meant, so she hurriedly asked.
He took her hand and walked into the house where the eunuchs who delivered the incense were living, the wooden plank room, the hay floor, the conditions were even worse than the firewood room where she lived in the Hades Palace, and the eunuchs here would presumably huddle together at night, and spend night after night in this sour room.
Tuoba Jiuxiao looked at the environment here, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and finally he found a place where the hay was relatively thick and sat down, and then took Lin Ling'er's hand and let her sit on his lap.
Lin Ling'er's face flushed, of course, it couldn't be seen on her face after her simple appearance.
Seeing that the two were so close, Li Guiren felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she didn't understand, Lin Ling'er was just a maid, but she could be so favored by the Hades King, and she was of noble birth and not bad-looking, although she was a little older than Lin Ling'er, but her appearance was especially good, why didn't the Hades King look at her more? He only seemed to see the little maid in his eyes.
In that case, why did you promise to take her out with you? Last night, just when she thought he wouldn't agree, he actually agreed, she was happy in her heart, thinking about a man, after all, he is a good woman/sex, Hades must have taken a fancy to her beauty, maybe after escaping, he will take her back to Hades' Mansion to receive a side concubine or something, although he didn't say anything, but she already decided so in her heart, but seeing the love of the two of them now, she was so angry that her face turned blue, and she sat down alone far away from them.
Women know women's minds best, and Lin Ling'er also feels that Li Guiren is pitiful, but that can't be an excuse for her to think about her man, seeing her go away, she didn't scream, but generously hooked Tuoba Jiuxiao's neck and snuggled into his arms.
