Chapter 107: Difficult Brothers
The key Yan Liqiang was holding had the words "Tianqiao San" on it, and there was also a signboard of "Tianqiao San" on the wooden door number outside this small courtyard, and Yan Liqiang came in.
There is a small wooden house in the small courtyard, the small wooden house is divided into two floors, under the first floor of the small wooden house, there are four thick pillars, there is no wall between the columns, all sides are empty, only three adobes more than one meter high enclose on three sides of the four pillars, revealing a gap, in the middle of the yard enclosed part, there are two chicken coops, piled with some straw straw, next to the chicken coop there is a large pile of tools and miscellaneous items such as brooms and barrels, just next to the four pillars, there is a staircase leading directly to the second floor of the small wooden house.
At first glance, the cabin looks a bit like a stilt house.
The stairs of the cabin creak when stepped on, but it is quite sturdy, and people will not shake on it, Yan Liqiang took the key to the second floor of the cabin, and two steps away from the left hand side of the stairs, there was a locked door, and when he opened the door with that key, Yan Liqiang entered the house.
It seems that no one has come to live in the house for a long time, there is a layer of dust on the floor of the house, Yan Liqiang's foot stepped on it, it is a footprint, there is a bed in the house, a table, a chair, and a wardrobe, everything is extremely simple, all the furniture and furnishings, even this wooden house, are made of the cheapest pine wood, because the windows in the house are tightly closed, and the whole house is a unique smell of pine.
The bed was empty, only a layer of dusty slats, and there was not even a cup or jug on the table for drinking water, only a lamp, the oil in which had long since dried up, and only a small piece of burnt cotton thread remained.
Looking at such a simple residence, Yan Liqiang could only smile bitterly, but the only thing that could make Yan Liqiang feel a little comforted was that this wooden house did not leak, the house was not damp, there was no smell of mold, and there should be no problem with sheltering from the wind and rain and resting.
Yan Liqiang opened the wardrobe first and looked at it, the top of the wardrobe was empty, but under the wardrobe there was a set of bedding mattresses and mosquito nets on the bed, although the bedding looked a little old, but it was still clean and neatly packed.
"Yan Liqiang, this is where you will live for a long time in the future, come on!"
Yan Li encouraged himself loudly, and then put down the burden on his hand and began to roll up his sleeves energetically to tidy up the room.
Yan Liqiang first opened a closed window in this room to ventilate the room, and then went downstairs, in the pile of debris under the cabin, found a broom, a dustpan and other things, returned to the small building, cleaned the dust, and went down to find a wooden barrel and a burlap mop, fetched water, and cleaned the bed, cabinet, table, chair and the ground These visible places were cleaned, and after cleaning these, there was no dust in the room, Yan Liqiang opened the cabinet, took out the mattress and bedding in the cabinet, and carried it downstairs, on the bamboo pole driving in the yard to dry clothes, spread out the bedding mattress mosquito net or something to dry。
If the time is long enough, you can also disassemble the bedding and wash it before using it, but you will officially "take office" tomorrow, and time does not allow, so you can only talk about it first.
Just when Yan Liqiang found a wooden stick in the courtyard and slapped the bedding he was drying, two people had already come to the small courtyard where Yan Liqiang was, and one of them said hello to Yan Liqiang as soon as he entered the courtyard.
"Senior brother, are you new here?"
The two people who walked into the courtyard were both sixteen or seventeen years old, one tall and one short, one white and one black, the tall one was white and clean, a little handsome, and the short one was black and strong, both of them were wearing gray robes and gray belts around their waists, and they were also disciples of the outer gate in the Sword God Sect.
It was the tall white boy who spoke, and the white boy smiled, and there were actually two small dimples on his face, which looked very kind.
"Yes, I was just assigned here?" Yan Liqiang stopped.
"Haha, junior brother, you are unlucky, no one has come to live in this courtyard for a long time, all those who live in this courtyard will be responsible for cleaning the toilet above Tianqiao Peak in the future, this is the dirtiest and most tiring chores in the entire Sword God Sect, I didn't expect to be wrapped up by you, was it Huo Bin's bastard who assigned you here!"
"Well, it was Deacon Huo from the Gray Clothes Hall who assigned me here!"
"That's right, it's that bastard, he is the only one in the entire Gray Clothes Hall surnamed Huo, and the miscellaneous servants here in Tianqiao Peak, that is, that bastard are in charge of arranging, I don't know how you offended him, brother, he actually pampered you like this?"
"I didn't offend him, but in the past few days in the Discipline Academy, I didn't deal with a person very much, and that person happened to know Huo Deacon, so I was assigned here, by the way, did you two also offend Huo Deacon and was assigned here by him?"
"Of course, how else to say that the surname Huo is a bastard!" said the white young man through some gritted teeth, I just saw a new little junior sister in the gray clothes hall that day a little beautiful, I couldn't help but get close to the little junior sister and said a few words, and made a joke with the little junior sister, and was seen by the bastard surnamed Huo, he got me here, and said that I was misbehaving, I have to reflect well, damn, he doesn't look in the mirror, I chatted with the little junior sister for a few words, and he said that I was misbehaving, and he looked at the little junior sister himself, almost drooling out, fuck......"
"What about this senior brother?"
"He's just brainless, a few other disciples of the group who entered the Sword God Sect with him just arrived in the Gray Clothes Hall and discussed that one person gave the twenty taels of silver surnamed Huo, and he didn't send a copper plate with his neck, and he came to stand out from the crowd, and then he was assigned here by the bastard surnamed Huo!"
"That's twenty taels of silver, where do I have so much money, and besides, I came to the Sword God Sect to learn skills, not to learn to pat people, so I won't give him away, and I won't give it away if I have money, see what he can do to me?" said the black and stout young man angrily, looking unconvinced.
It seems that they are both fallen people at the end of the world, Yan Liqiang smiled, "My name is Yan Liqiang, I don't know what the two senior brothers call me?"
"My name is Gu Zexuan...... "The young man from Bai Jing introduced himself, and then pointed to the one next to him, "His name is Zhao Huipeng, he usually doesn't talk much, but he likes to listen to people, if you are with him and find that he doesn't say a word to you for a few hours, don't get me wrong, it's not that he has an opinion on you, but he is so ......"
"Hmm......" The young man named Zhao Huipeng hummed, and then stopped talking.
"By the way, Senior Brother Gu said just now that no one has come to live here for a long time, has no one come to clean the latrine on Tianqiao Peak for a long time?"
"How could there be no one to clean it!" Gu Zexuan laughed, " It's just that this kind of work, most of the time, it is in rotation among the outer disciples, it is considered a temporary miscellaneous service, whoever is drawn is whom, the longest is generally seven days, and the short one is only three days, because the time is not long, so those outer disciples who draw this job will not move here, tens of thousands of outer disciples in the Sword God Sect, even if one person is a day and many people in a few years, they may not be able to get their turn once, some outer disciples, who have a little background at home, the bastard surnamed Huo and other deacons dare not offend, and they will never be assigned to this kind of dirty work!”
"And who used to live in this house?"
"I heard that the first person who lived in your room was a very old senior brother, that senior brother violated the door rules in his early years, was abolished and cultivated, and was locked up in the prison of the Sword God Sect for seventy or eighty years, and was released when he was old, and he was still an outer disciple, after being released, that senior brother lived here with you, and was responsible for cleaning the thatched toilet on Tianqiao Peak every day, and then the senior brother was too old, and your room was empty, until a few years ago, there was a senior brother who had just entered the Sword God Sect who seemed to have offended someone, and he was also arranged here, and the senior brother lived here and cleaned the thatched toilet for nearly five years, until a year ago, that senior brother advanced to the Dragon and Tiger Warrior, and became one of the inner disciples, and finally moved away from here! Tianqiaosan's courtyard is not a good place......
"I see!" Yan Liqiang finally understood, these things were not something that he could understand in the Discipline Academy a few days ago.
Speaking of this, Gu Zexuan looked at Yan Liqiang, and his tone became serious, "I said junior brother, if you have money, it is better to find an opportunity to give the surname Huo a little money, be soft, and say a few good words, so that you can get rid of this job as soon as possible, otherwise you are here, you will revolve around a few toilets every day, and there will not be much time left in a day to cultivate, it is difficult to make progress, if you delay for a few years like this, your future in the Sword God Sect will also be greatly affected, and you will miss many opportunities, which is really not worth it......"
"Then why didn't Senior Brother Gu give in to that person surnamed Huo?"
"Hmph, although my family is not a wealthy family, but my family also has a head and face in the local area, several elders in the family are serving in the army, the surname Huo knows my background and background, don't dare to go too far, delay my future, I won't stay here for too long, at most a few months, I'll leave, I don't bow my head, and the person surnamed Huo can't press me forever!"
Yan Liqiang smiled, "Actually, my situation is similar to Senior Brother Zhao Huipeng, I don't have much money here, and I only have a few taels of silver on my body, even if I want to give it to the one surnamed Huo, I can't take it out, and I think that the job of cleaning the latrine, although it is dirty and tiring, is not ashamed, I want to try if I can do this job well, so I exercised myself at that time!"
"Brother, you are amazing!" Gu Zexuan gave a thumbs up to Yan Liqiang, but the look on his face was a little disbelieving, "If you can still think like this in two months, I will obey you......"
