Chapter 425: The Scramble
Winter is getting colder and colder.
There are also fewer and fewer people on the streets.
Lao Gong's figure is still day and night.
Now he no longer talks about Xiaoyun and makes some big truths, but sometimes complains to himself: "It seems that I am really old, and I can't carry such a small bucket of dung!" โ
He staggered as he gasped: "I want to ....... At the beginning, I had no problem carrying two buckets of this size by myself! โ
When Lao Gong said this, he couldn't help but glance at Xiaoyun, with some envy and a little fear in his eyes.
Xiaoyun stopped talking again.
He was always silent, as if he was thinking about something, but not quite like that.
After that day of communication, there seemed to be a sudden gap between the souls of the two people, but the cooperation of the bodies gradually became better.
After a while, after Xiaoyun became familiar with the operation, he also began to go from house to house to collect manure alone, instead of acting with Lao Gong.
In this way, the efficiency is higher. Originally, Lao Gong was going to do a day's work, but with Xiaoyun's help, it was all over before noon.
Afternoon.
There was a faint hint of the sun in the sky.
The bright sun shines down, and the mood becomes very gentle.
The two met at an agreed meeting in Nancheng District, each carrying an empty dung bucket that had been sold out.
"Today's manure is finished, it's so fast!"
Lao Gong wiped his sweat, showed a rare smile, and said: "The day before yesterday, I went to Liufu alone, and Miss Liu Rushui said that she would reward us with two sets of unwanted bedding, and I only went to get it last night, so I put it in my room." โ
"At that time, I saw that you were already asleep, so I didn't tell you."
At this time of year, Lao Gong is the happiest.
Because Liu Rushui in Liufu is the most kind and generous, he will distribute a lot of warm clothes to poor people every winter to send warmth, including Lao Gong who often goes to Liufu.
It is said that in the spring of next year, Miss Liu Rushui will marry Li Anzi Swordsman of the "Hainan Sword School", so she has a lot of thoughts this winter.
The original winter coat turned into a thick quilt, which made Lao Gong smile from ear to ear, and generously went to take a bath, and then officially went to the door to get it.
"When the time comes, I'll build a bed, and you will share a bed."
Xiao Yun actually smiled rarely, and said, "Okay." โ
The two walked to the north of Willow Spring City, and Lao Gong took Xiaoyun back to his home in the North District.
Home at the end of a deep alley.
The house is an ordinary house, although it is not large, but it is neatly built.
After Lao Gong entered the door, he put down the dung bucket, hurriedly cleaned his hands in a small basin, and his eyebrows danced happily, and he shouted, "I'll take you to see the new quilt!" โ
Xiaoyun followed Lao Gong into the house, but realized that something was wrong.
Lao Gong lived in the back room, while Xiao Yun lived on a large wooden plank set up at the entrance, which had been overturned.
Xiao Yun silently picked up the plank and gently put it back in its place.
Lao Gong smiled: "Did you accidentally knock it down when you went out?" Pay attention to ....... next time"
As he spoke, he suddenly felt as if the few things he had placed had been moved.
So Lao Gong's face was solemn and he hurriedly walked back to the back room.
There were indeed two futons in the back room, but the futons were not so clean, and they had been poured with the things that Lao Gong was most familiar with.
Big feces.
The thick bedding was full of yellowish dung that had not yet dried!
Lao Gong looked at it blankly, as if he had seen his most beloved daughter raped by a bully.
He was so angry that he kept shaking, pointed to the quilt on the bed and said, "Who did it?" Who did this?! โ
"Lao Tzu really fucked him, which turtle bastard did this deliberately......."
Lao Gong scolded and scolded, and suddenly stopped scolding, he walked to the side of the bed and saw a very large and white piece of paper, on which were written very black and deep words.
The white paper was snow-white, clean and spotless, apparently after pouring dung.
Lao Gong's hands trembled a little, picked up the white paper, walked out of the door tremblingly, picked it up and looked at it in the sun, and finally didn't understand what was written on it.
When he saw Xiaoyun coming out, he immediately asked, "Do you recognize words?" โ
Xiaoyun said: "Recognize some." โ
Lao Gong said anxiously: "Help me take a look!" What's written on it? โ
โโโโโโโโโโ
On the outskirts of Dongcheng, under the hanging neck tree, on the sixth day of the lunar month, waiting for you to fight. Decide the ownership of the southern city area, who wins and who occupies!
โโโโโโโโโโ
A simple piece of paper, with neat pedantic words, but there is a bit of fierceness between the lines.
Xiaoyun read these contents to Lao Gong as they were.
Lao Gong's expression was both worried and a little excited, and he looked very complicated. In the end, he threw the white paper into the dung and said, "It's that mongrel again, and sure enough, he's here again!" โ
Xiaoyun asked, "Are those dung tyrants who grabbed land here again?" โ
Old Gong shouted majestically: "Yes! That's them! That bastard surnamed Pang has been fighting with me for seven years, and every winter he comes to me to duel, and every year he loses in disgrace, and this year must be no exception! โ
"It's really bold, the first time he actually came to my house, I want to teach him a good lesson!"
Lao Gong said that, he rubbed his hands, strode out, looked east and west, and went to find clean water to prepare to wash the bedding.
And Xiaoyun sighed and said a few more words to Lao Gong.
What he said was that since the person surnamed Pang dared to come and give such a big dismount this year, most of them had a new reliance, and they had to be wary.
But Lao Gong was full of confidence and didn't care, and replied that this person was getting more and more cheap.
ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท
On the sixth day of the lunar month, outside the eastern suburbs.
Early in the morning, Lao Gong went out with Xiaoyun.
Sure enough, there was a large hanging neck tree, and the leaves had long since fallen off, leaving only bare branches and a thick, old trunk.
There was a man standing under the tree, about the age of middle age to old age, but his arms were still thick and his posture was still straight.
When Lao Gong and Xiaoyun went, his figure was facing away from them, and it wasn't until he felt someone approaching that he turned around and looked at Lao Gong with a pair of small eyes.
"I didn't think you would dare to come!"
Lao Gong snorted coldly and said, "It's huge, I didn't expect you to dare to come!" โ
Huge put his hands behind his back and smiled lightly: "I came this year to retrieve the fecal water belonging to the Nancheng City!" โ
He deliberately said it very imposingly, as if he was not talking about "the belonging of Nancheng dung water", but what "the position of the head of the martial arts faction".
- The dung water of Liuquan City is roughly divided into four urban districts: east, south, west and north, of which the southern urban area is the smallest in the territory, but it is the richest, and the people who live there are rich people, and the dung is also "fertilizer water".
The food eaten by the rich is good, and the things they pull out are also "fat", and the price paid by those who collect dung is naturally higher.
Therefore, the manure water in Nancheng District has always been the most sought-after, and Lao Gong is relying on his years of experience to occupy this area.
At this time, Lao Gong crossed his hands on his waist and explained to Xiaoyun in an atmospheric manner: "Xiaoyun, you recognize it clearly, this huge guy is the most scoundrel in Willow Springs City, and you will beat him once you see him in the future, you know?!" โ
Huge finally couldn't hold back a little, and pulled his mouth and said: "You dare to move me, let me tell you, I learned a new trick under the Huashan Gate, what is it called pushing...... Push the door and watch the house, and then I will teach you to walk around if you can't eat, and eat my big feces like eating your mother's milk! โ
Lao Gong was furious when he heard this, and rushed forward with an arrow step, swinging his fist violently, and slamming it into the huge right temple.
Who knew that he had already prepared, with one side of his body, his left foot stretched out at Lao Gong's feet, and with a push of his right hand, Lao Gong was pushed to the ground.
Bang!
Lao Gong couldn't hold back and didn't make a sound, but hugged his hands with both hands, grabbed the huge ankle tightly, and then bit down hard!
"Hahahaha...... You didn't fall lightly this time......"
Before he could laugh out loud, he also fell to the ground, and the two of them immediately started to fight with one leg and one punch!
