Chapter 424: The Man Who Picks Dung
"Whoa-la-la-la-la
Lao Gong poured buckets of dung into the vat, then took out a long iron spoon, pressed it against the wall of the bucket and began to scrape, until the barrel became relatively clean, and then he put away the utensils.
"Xiaoyun, come, hand over the leaves you are holding!"
Xiao Yun immediately sent over a large bag of leaves in his arms, and Lao Gong took more than a dozen pieces, densely stained them on the iron spoon, covered the surface as much as possible, covered the filth, and finally put them into a cloth bag around his waist.
After Lao Gong finished everything, he put the bucket back on his back, put the lid on it, and said with a smile: "I haven't come for three days, and it's really a little heavy." Well, you walk behind me, and if something goes wrong with my bucket, you must alert me! ”
Xiaoyun responded: "Okay! ”
So the two of them went out of the house and returned the way they came.
Nothing happened along the way, but all the Liufu people who saw them covered their mouths and noses, looking disgusted, very unhappy, as if they had encountered something unlucky.
Lao Gong just smiled at them happily, he was used to it.
"Miss Liu, it stinks here, let's go!"
While walking on a stone path, the two suddenly bumped into a handsome sword boy and a girl with a beautiful face in red and green.
Although the lid of the dung bucket has been tightly closed, it is inevitable that some smells will come out, and the boy has a very smart nose, and he smells it at once.
Lao Gong still smiled at them.
He couldn't do anything else but that.
Seeing this, the boy said even more angrily: "This hateful tilting of his feet, while stinking me with dirt, and laughing at me, is he looking at my jokes?" ”
Lao Gong hurriedly explained: "No, no, don't be angry! I....... I'll leave right away, I'll go. ”
He pulled Xiaoyun by the hand, quickened his pace, and hurried away.
The person known as Miss Liu was a little unhappy, and said angrily: "Li Anzi, the people of your Hainan faction are fragrant and clean, and only the people of our Liu Mansion are stinking, so don't follow me, okay?" ”
Li Anzi was a little anxious and defended: "Miss Liu, of course I didn't mean that? ”
His face flushed red, apparently not knowing how to please the girl.
Miss Liu was even more angry and said, "You don't mean that, what do you mean?" Also, don't call me Miss Liu in the future, call me Miss Stink! ”
With that, the beautiful girl was so angry that she stomped away.
Li Anzi clenched his teeth, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he glared at Lao Gong and Xiaoyun a few times, scolded and scolded, and then hurriedly chased after him.
Lao Gong and Xiaoyun walked more urgently, walked through the door again, and saw the two guards.
"Brother Zhang, please help us open the door again."
Because the two family members were scolded before, they didn't have a good face for Lao Gong and the others at this time.
"Hurry up, what a hassle!"
They coldly opened the door, saw them off, and then slammed the door shut.
After going out and walking half a mile, Lao Gong smiled bitterly: "Xiaoyun, we have offended others this time." ”
Xiaoyun still nodded: "Yes." ”
Lao Gong didn't care if Xiaoyun could understand what he was saying, but he muttered again: "First of all, I offended Miss Liu Rushui and the others, and those two family members were scolded, and we should be blamed.......
"When you come here in the future, you must be careful, you have to talk less and do more."
Lao Gong and the two walked together, knocking on the door on the street again, waiting for the people next to them to hand out the dung bucket, and at the same time pouring all the dung water into the big bucket on their backs.
In the end, the buckets on the backs of the two became very heavy, and Lao Gong wiped his sweat and walked out of the city with Xiaoyun.
Lao Gong said: "Fortunately, except for the Liufu family, everything else is fine." Next time you go to Liufu, you have to be careful, you have to squeeze out a smiling face, you know? ”
He said this sentence many times on the road.
Maybe he didn't have anything else to say besides this sentence, so he could only repeat it over and over again.
It can be seen that Lao Gong does not have many opportunities to speak on weekdays, probably because there are not too many people willing to talk to him.
"The Liufu is not only the largest family in Willow Springs City, so you must not offend them, even if you are punched and kicked, you must try to endure the ......."
Lao Gong began to repeat the words tirelessly, telling Xiaoyun to listen.
Xiaoyun, who had been silent, finally spoke up and said, "I understand. ”
Lao Gong looked at Xiaoyun in surprise and said, "You understand? What do you know? ”
Xiaoyun said: "I understand that we can't afford to offend the Liu Mansion. ”
"I also know that we are the lowliest people in the city, and everyone can make a face to us, and we must be as patient as possible."
"I also understand that the reason why the housekeepers who come to the door later make us look ugly is because they can't afford to offend the housekeeper, but they can afford to offend the footman."
Xiao Yun said a lot in one breath, maybe he didn't want to listen to Lao Gong's nagging anymore.
The look of surprise on Lao Gong's face became even stronger, and he opened his mouth wide, almost speechless.
- Only then did he realize that the young man in front of him was sometimes stupid and stupid, and sometimes he was very smart.
Lao Gong cleared his throat and said seriously: "I'll ask you another question, if you can tell the reason, then it's amazing." ”
"Do you know who the two people we bumped into were, and what their relationship was?"
Xiaoyun didn't speak again, but kept moving forward silently.
Lao Gong smiled: "It seems that you are still a little worse after all." ”
He was about to tell the gossip he had heard from elsewhere, but Xiaoyun sighed.
"Even the blind can see it. That Li Anzi of the Hainan Sword Sect is Liu Rushui's admirer. Although Miss Liu Rushui may not like him, she will definitely marry him in the end. ”
Lao Gong's words suddenly swallowed back into his mouth, and what he wanted to say was that he had only heard from the teahouse yesterday: The Hainan Sword Sect had come west this time and had already proposed their relatives to the Liu family.
- Lao Gong suddenly couldn't see through the little cloud in front of him. Perhaps, as Xiaoyun himself said, he just forgot too many things.
The sun sets, and the west wind crosses the street.
The two of them gradually walked to the gate of the city.
Lao Gong's footsteps gradually sank, and suddenly he seemed to be more than ten years old, and sighed: "Go faster." We're coming back before dark. ”
Xiao Yun looked up at him, and an indescribable strange emotion appeared in his eyes, so he said one word forcefully: "Good!" ”
The city gates were sparsely populated, and the vendors avoided their dung cans and closed their stalls.
Lao Gong stepped out of the city gate and smiled reluctantly: "We are carrying all the dung in the southern district, as well as the good dung on the Liufu, and sell it to those who collect dung outside the city, and we will definitely give a good price." ”
Somehow, he didn't seem very happy when he said this, but his voice became weak, as if he was tired and in good spirits.
After looking at his face for a day, walking for a day, carrying dung for a day, and talking for another day, he should indeed be tired.
