Chapter 28 The road to part-time work is a long way to go
Chapter 28 The road to part-time work is far away
"Ahem, that, is there anyone else going to drink the warming soup?"
The cold, white voice sounded in the ears of the three of them, and Dong Li's eyes turned back to their former coldness.
No one paid attention to Bai Miao's question, and Dong Li then asked Qing Yue: "So, you have a way to find her, right?" β
"How, how is it possible, her breath is hidden in that hosta, you are helpless, what can I do, have you forgotten that I only have three points of spirit......"
"Qingyue!" Dong Liang suddenly raised his voice, "Although the evil god wants to abandon the ancestral body for some reason, it does not mean that the evil god's involvement with this body will be completely severed, once she fully recovers, she will soon understand the role of Nanshan relative to the heart of the realm, if it is ......"
"I know, if Nanshan is influenced by her and falls into evil and loses his true heart, you will no longer have the power to return to heaven, right?"
Dong Liang smiled bitterly, "At that time, we can only wait for the end times to come again......"
"Alas! My little Nanshan ......" Qingyue shook his head sadly, "Okay, okay, I'll recruit it, but, you have to promise me one condition......"
"I naturally understand what you want, don't worry, I will do my best to protect the Five Realms and no longer let the heart of the Realm be damaged, so that Nanshan can live in peace."
"Tsk, who wants you to commit to this?"
Qing Yue waved his hand, narrowed his eyes and said: "Your old man loves to be a savior, that's your business, I'm not so noble and great, I only hope that in the future, you can give Nanshan more freedom, let her experience in the world more, maybe she can rise and cultivate, no matter how good it is, it's better than being detained by you on Xianling Mountain, and it's no different from a rabbit in a cage to be slaughtered, to be honest, Xianling Mountain's ghost place feng shui is not good, I don't like it very ......much."
β¦β¦
It is probably that the two successive lords of the demon world are not very serious, and there are simply so many places in the demon world that there are so many of them, and there are countless of them of this scale. This made Nanshan feel very gratified, as the saying goes, she never expected that she would not only successfully escape, but also find her first job in life so smoothly.
Carefully placing the spice strips into the quaint incense burner in front of him, Nanshan turned back to the beaded curtain and asked, "Girl, do you think this taste is okay?" β
"Well, Shang Ke, I've worked hard for you, go down and rest."
A woman was pouring tea for the brocade boy in front of her, her bright eyes were full of grace, and she answered softly.
Nanshan straightened her dress, bowed awkwardly, and exited the room, but her ears were so good that even if she retreated outside the door, she could still hear the voice inside.
The voice of the boy in brocade: "Huh? What about the little maid who used to serve Dan'er? Why did you change people today? Looking at her dress, she looks like a fire girl from the back kitchen. β
"Hey, this time is different from the past," the peony flower demon covered his face and cried delicately, "Now, Sister Tan has become an Oiran, and we old people still don't know each other, and after the election last night, she immediately asked for a maid from me, and moved many large utensils in my house, saying that I don't have to receive those distinguished guests anymore, and I don't need ......."
"Don't be angry, aren't Dan'er's distinguished guests still sitting here now......"
"Oh, childe, you're used to making people happy......"
"Here, let me smell what you rubbed today......
"Oops, I hate it......"
Nanshan stood under the porch, and heard all kinds of indescribable private voices of the two people inside, and his heart was nervous and excited.
At this time, a middle-aged woman passed downstairs, saw Nanshan's leisurely appearance, and immediately shouted to her, "What are you doing there, come down quickly, there is just a distinguished guest who drank too much wine in the backyard and vomited a large piece, you hurry up and clean up." β
"Yes, yes, Aoi Mama......"
Nanshan was a spirit, nodded like a chicken pecking rice, took the broom and dustpan at the corner of the door, and went downstairs with a smoke.
She has been working as a helper in this Bairui Fang for three days, not only has she got a place to stay, but she can also eat and drink enough, and what is even more fortunate is that the demon soldiers will not come here to look for people at all, and the breath of Senior Brother and Senior Sister Xiaohua has not appeared nearby, she feels like she is in a dream.
Recalling the night of the Oiran campaign, Nanshan hesitated for a long time outside the gate of Bairuifang with hunger, until the crowd gradually dispersed at midnight, and she finally mustered up the courage to step in.
But she didn't take two steps and was stopped by the little guy guarding the door, seeing that her face was covered with a thin veil and she couldn't see her face clearly, the little guy asked coldly, "What are you doing!" β
"I saw a notice posted outside the door, your store...... Are you planning to hire some helpers? β
Nanshan made a timid gesture, lowered his head and pinched the placket of his clothes and asked.
"It's right to recruit helpers, but the girl's figure is ...... It's not like you can do rough work. β
The little guy looked Nanshan up and down, and when he saw that she was in a weak wind and supporting the willows, he shook his head.
"Can do it...... can do it" Nanshan looked around, there was a stone table and stone bench next to it, placed at the entrance may be for some guests to sit and wait for someone to use, immediately planned to go up to the left hand stone table, right hand to move the stone bench.
As a result, the little guy didn't look at her, but turned her body to another place, and a middle-aged woman walked out of the front porch, who was the fangtou Kui mother of Bairui Fang, and the little guy hugged her fists and saluted.
"Hello Aoi mother."
"Today is a hard day, so let the brothers go to the back and have a good drink...... Well? Who's this? Aoi's mother said, her eyes naturally drifting to Nanshan's body.
"Aoi...... Hello Aoi Mama! I'm the new helper! Nanshan had an idea and immediately responded.
"Oh?"
"No, no, Aoi's mother, I want to come to work as a helper, and I see that she is not competent, and I am about to drive her away." The little guy folded his sleeves, revealing a fierce face and was about to step forward.
Aoi's mother raised her hand to stop it, her voice was very loud, and said, "Do you have the strength?" β
The corners of Nanshan's mouth raised behind the veil, and he quickly jumped to the stone table, and did what he had just planned to do without saying a wordβhe lifted the big stone table with his left hand, held the thick stone bench with his right hand, and deliberately waved it up and down as if he was holding only two pieces of tender tofu in his hand.
"Ho, that's a lot of energy...... But why do you cover your face with a veil? β
Aoi's mother was a little amazed when she saw that Nanshan's every move was very light, but she was not unseen in the world, so she quickly turned her attention to Nanshan's face.
Nanshan put the stone table and stone bench back in place, fell to his knees all of a sudden, and said sadly: "The little girl is really desperate this time!" The little girl was originally a watermelon demon in the countryside outside the city, her husband died of illness and widowhood, she never thought that the new funeral was less than half a year, and her father and brother forced the little girl to remarry, but the little girl did not obey, they ...... They ruthlessly ruined the little girl's appearance, saying that they would marry me to a blind old demon, and the little girl was terrified for a while, so she escaped......"
I really acted too vividly in this part! Thinking of this, Nanshan couldn't help but thank Qing Yue a hundred times in his heart, thanks to this second senior brother, he often showed her these folk tale albums on weekdays, and now she is easily acting in this hard-working woman's play, which really brings the word "learning into practice" to the fullest.
"Disfigured?" Aoi's mother didn't seem to believe it, and leaned closer to take a look at Nanshan's veil.
Who knew that Nanshan skillfully bent down and began to kowtow, Aoi's mother's hand hung there and grabbed the air, seeing her so earnest, her heart really softened a little for a while.
"Hey, how many girls in this workshop are not hard-working people......" Aoi's mother shook her head and sighed, and said to the little girl next to her: "Ah Da, take her to the backyard, and let her do some chores from tomorrow." β
So she did this smoothly on the fourth day, and the first three days she was indeed diligent, sometimes helping in the dining room, sometimes repairing tiles on the roof, sometimes carrying drunken guests into the carriage with the servants, and sometimes she would be pointed out to which Meiji room to do some idle work of a maid.
And Nanshan also found that most of the demon world is not too bad, at least to this day, no one has any "special" interest in her "ruined" appearance, and when he looks at her, he will also use a sympathetic expression very considerately, "by the way" to ask her about her "tragic experience", and then shake his head and sigh and turn away.
