Xiaowu: "I went out to relieve myself last night, and I saw the fourth aunt go to the old road house in the guest room. I thought to myself: What is she doing in the guest room in the middle of the night? So he quietly followed.
"When I walked outside the door, I heard a 'pop' sound inside, and I thought it was strange, so I licked through the window paper and looked inside, just in time to see the two of them doing that. This is what I saw with my own eyes, you are good to me, usually you hurt me and protect me, I only said it to you.
"I also want to say to you, let the master think of some way to get that old man out and not let him come again."
The little guy is very serious, not like he is lying.
Li Xiangming was suspicious and told the little guy not to talk about it to others. In order to find out the situation, the next night, he paid attention to the fourth aunt.
Sure enough, before midnight, the fourth aunt ran to the old road house and didn't go back until dawn.
The next day, when he told his father about the situation, he said with tears in his eyes: "I have known for a long time that she has not only had dealings with this old man, but also with a newly bought servant. ”
"Then get these two away!" Li Xiangming said angrily.
The father shook his head and said helplessly: "The only thing I can do now is to regret marrying this fourth aunt!" ”
Looking at his father's painful expression, Li Xiangming didn't say anything more.
Just two days after this incident, Li Xiangming's mood has not relaxed, and the little girl next to him has never come back after being called away by the fourth aunt.
He went to question the fourth aunt, and the fourth aunt said: "This little guy is disobedient and talks nonsense everywhere, I drove him away, no, I will find you a new little guy." He gestured to a strange little boy in the room.
The new little guy is thirteen or fourteen years old, but he is also clean and neat, but he has a fox smell on his body, and his temper is arrogant, and he points fingers at Li Xiangming at every turn, asking him to do this and that, not so much his little guy, but rather that he is being a servant for this little guy.
He went to his mother to complain, and his mother cried into tears, choked up and said to him: "Child, this family has been controlled too much by the fourth aunt, don't talk about you, she dares to move the maids and servants around me."
When I asked, I jumped and pointed at my nose and cursed. Since she entered this house, her mother has not had a good time. For the sake of this family, and for the sake of the child, my mother swallows her anger every day.
"Child, my mother is looking forward to you marrying a virtuous daughter-in-law in the future, you will enjoy your own happiness, and your mother will live a comfortable life with the past for a few days."
He took his mother's words to heart.
He really can't stand the arrogance of the little guy, and this is the case at home. So, he chose to escape - he went away alone, went outside to break out of his new world, and then picked up his parents to enjoy Qingfu.
He walked south along the field avenue and kept going south. After walking for a whole day and night, with blood blisters on his feet and a "growling" stomach, he remembered that he should go to the hotel to have a full meal, sleep for a night, and continue his journey the next day.
He came to a restaurant in the market town, and when he touched his body, he didn't have a penny.
It's no wonder that he is used to the days when he comes to stretch out his hands for clothes and open his mouth for food, and he has a small servant and servants to cook when he goes out, and he has no consciousness of going out to bring money.
No money, no food, no guest house. When he went back, he really didn't want to go into that house. The only way is to sell labor to support oneself, like the long-term and short-term workers hired by the family.
As long as you can't see the evil eyes of the fourth aunt, you can get rid of the humiliation of the little girl, and you won't be afraid of being tired for the time being.
He is convinced that a good boy has ambitions in all directions, and he must rely on his own efforts to create his own world, bring his parents here, and let his parents get rid of the bullying of the fourth aunt!
Li Xiangming thought so in his heart, so he walked out of the market town and wanted to try his luck with the rich families in the village.
His family was a wealthy family in the village and employed long-term and short-term workers. He thinks that all rich families are like this, he is the young owner of rich families, and it should be no problem to work in rich families.
At this time, it was already night, and there were running clouds in the sky, and the moon came out for a while, and then it was covered in the clouds, and the things were hazy.
Just out of the market town not far away, there seems to be a manor not far away, the buildings in it are scattered, although the night is dim, with that large number of houses, you can also see that it is a big family.
Isn't this exactly what you're looking for? Li Xiangming didn't think about it, so he walked along the path that led to the manor.
The manor was very large, no smaller than a royal palace, and the houses were very peculiar in construction. Li Xiangming was a little apprehensive in his heart, and his uncompetitive stomach "growled" at this time.
In order to solve the stomach problem and have a place to sleep tonight, Li Xiangming encouraged himself to go in.
He walked through room after room, each prettier than the other, but there was nothing alive in sight.
"Anyone?" He shouted.
No one answered, and there was silence in the house.
He wandered in it for a long time, from one parlor to another, from house to house, and at last he came to a room that was more beautiful than all the rooms, and he was startled.
On the sofa in the living room, there sat a little female dwarf, she was no more than half a foot tall, her complexion was as black as ink, the whites of her eyes and teeth were snow-white, and the whole person looked very evil.
Li Xiangming only glanced at her, then lowered his head and turned around to walk out.
"Stop!" The little girl dwarf said, although her voice was very thin, but she could hear it clearly:
"My manor is not for anyone to enter, since you are here, you must explain where you are, what your name is, and what is the matter with entering the garden!"
Since people asked, and it was in someone's manor, Li Xiangming answered truthfully:
"I went out without money and wanted to sell my labor to support myself."
The little dwarf said, "If you want to work here, you can stay, I need a servant now." ”
Li Xiangming thought to himself: Although it is weird here, there is a house after all. It's night, and there are clouds in the sky again, and if it rains for a while, I really have nowhere to hide. Then he said: "If there is work, food, and housing, I am willing to stay." ”
The little female dwarf was happy to hear this, and her voice became very soft: "Welcome! If you follow my command and do what I ask you to do, you will be in good hands. ”
So, they came to an agreement:
The little dwarf provided him with food and lodging, and told him to do what he ought to do, and to pay him handsomely if he did what she said;
Li Xiangming promised to be loyal to her, as long as she did not make harsh demands on him.
Li Xiangming finally had a place to eat and live, so he cheered up and followed the little girl dwarf to the garden outside the house.
The garden was large, more than three acres in size, and was overgrown with weeds and thorns, with the occasional dried branch of peony.
The little dwarf pointed to the garden and said to Li Xiangming, "You have to cut out all the peony branches in it in three days, and there will be no one left." Then stacked in the courtyard we just passed. That's what you do for three days. ”
Li Xiangming thought to himself: Although the garden is not small and full of thorns, there are not many peony branches in it. I happily agreed.
The little dwarf took him to a bedroom and said, "From now on, you will live here." When you want to eat, sit down at this table, and a servant you can't see will serve you food. When you have eaten your fill, you will leave, and the servants will come and clean up the dishes.
"When you want to rest, make this bed, and use the bedding on the bed as you like. You enjoy full freedom in all aspects. Just keep your word for what you do. ”
With that, the little female dwarf moved a pair of small feet and walked away with a twist.
Li Xiangming was hungry and "cooing", remembering the little girl's command, and sat down at the table she designated.
Suddenly, a bowl of snow-white rice was placed on the table, followed by three dishes and one soup, and there were many chopsticks and spoons.
There was not a single person, and the food and food seemed to suddenly come out of the air.
Because of the prompting of the little girl dwarf in advance, Li Xiangming was not surprised and ate beautifully. I filled my stomach and ran out of food.
After walking for a day and a night, he was too sleepy, lying on the bed designated by the little female dwarf, and slept until dawn.
The next day, Li Xiangming came to the garden with a woodcutter, cut off the dead branches of peony from the thorn bushes one by one, and then stacked them in the courtyard.
Three days passed quickly, and in the thorn bushes in the garden, there was no longer a single dead branch of peony, and the little female dwarf was very satisfied with Li Xiangming's work.
"Then you have to spend three days tying a big red string on each branch, and then you will put the branches in all the courtyards.
"It must take three days, and every day the rope tied and the branches placed must be equal, not more and not less."
With that, he put down the big red rope, moved his little feet, and walked away with a twist.
Li Xiangming thought to himself: This work is much easier than cutting branches. In three days, you can cut the branches from the thorn bushes, tie them up, and lay them away, and you can't use them for even two days.
In order to work evenly, he divided the branches into three equal parts, and rested after one for each day. Three days passed easily.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to place branches in each courtyard, he looked into every house, and all the houses were not locked, and some of the doors were still open, but he did not see a living thing in Ren He, nor did he hear any sound.
The whole manor was lifeless, not a single wisp of cooking smoke, not a puddle of clear water, not a single small worm. Even the little female dwarf, who is not inspecting work and assigning work, is nowhere to be seen.
Li Xiangming's life in the manor was very good: he was not tired of work, he had to eat, drink, and drink, and he wanted to rest and lie down on the bed, and he wanted to be more moisturized.
The only flaw is that it is too lonely.
