Chapter 53: Who is your own person?
Wei Xiaoge and Qianhongji chatted for a long time, basically talking about chickens and ducks, and didn't get to the point at all. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoOne says this life, the other worries about the afterlife. One wants to throw off the burden, but the other wants to hitchhike and rely on the big guy.
The two of them were fully aware of this, and each was worried about each other.
Xue Shaoxi, who was listening, kept his ears pricked up, and the work in his hands did not stop.
After he finished eating, he was rubbing hemp rope, and to make a fence, he needed a lot of rope. It's much more tiring than running errands on the streets, blistering, cocooning, and fraying back and forth, with several layers of cocoons back and forth.
He lowered his head and secretly pondered the conversation he had just heard.
Aunt Qianhong is right, if she has a son who inherits her surname, she will have a head start in the next life. What is the picture of being a human being, isn't it just that you can become a human being in the next life? But why did you annoy Miss Wei and even drive her away.
Is it because I didn't go to the yamen to back up and write a letter of refuge?
Hearing Wei Xiaoge's footsteps gradually approaching, Xue Shaoxi raised his head, and his whole person tensed.
He hurriedly put down the half-rubbed rope in his hand, stood up very crampedly, and bowed respectfully.
Wei Xiaoge frowned, Xiao Xue was originally very clever, why is he so stupid these days, pluck it and move. Especially at this moment, it looks like there is no place to put your hands and feet.
How did she know that the scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping in Daohua Village left an indelible psychological shadow on Xue Shaoxi, and she was always worried about following the wrong boss.
"Xiao Xue, you sit down and rest for a while, I have something to ask you. ”
Xue Shaoxi nodded obediently, "Yes, girl." ”
Wei Xiaoge picked a flat stone and sat down. "You sit down too, I'm so busy these days that I don't have time to ask you. You can also see, I did something that lost my head, why don't you want to follow it?"
Xue Shaoxi sat down upright, hesitated for a while, and didn't know whether to say it or not.
"Girl, when I was eight years old, something happened to my family, and I survived alone. It's not always a good idea to wander the streets, so I want to learn some skills and slowly find out why something happened at home in the future. ”
I see, in order to take revenge, the whole family must have died, and he was the only one left.
Wei Xiaoge felt some sympathy in his heart.
The eight-year-old child lives on the streets, but she is not as cunning and unscrupulous as the beggars she knows. Presumably, the parents at home should be very reasonable and have been well educated since childhood.
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of Changgui, who was completely different from Xue Shaoxi, this upbringing was very problematic, the Wei family's father and mother......
She walked down slightly, and then said to Xue Shaoxi with a smile: "Don't worry about the family in advance, the gentleman will take revenge, ten years is not too late." Let's cultivate first, and we also have to read some books. Changgui also needs to read and write, and you will learn with him in the future. Tomorrow I'll start teaching you some basic exercises. ”
Hearing this, Xue Shaoxi seemed to have taken a reassuring pill.
Even if the people in the village treat the Wei family sisters and brothers as demons and monsters, it must have nothing to do with Miss Wei, and eighty percent of them are caused by Changgui.
He nodded and said, "Don't worry, girl, I will study hard." ”
Wei Xiaoge smiled: "You don't have to be too restrained, since I promised to keep you, we will live together for a long time, so you don't have to be so careful." You're not tired, I'm still tired!"
Xue Shaoxi exhaled softly, it seemed that the girl was different from Qianhong to him.
Thinking that he would be able to start cultivating soon, he couldn't help but show a look of joy and hurriedly said, "Thank you, girl, there is just one thing I have to mention." Now it is naturally inconvenient, or I will go to the yamen another day and handle the letter of refuge. ”
Wei Xiaoge didn't know why.
"What is a letter of refuge?"
Xue Shaoxi was surprised that Miss Wei didn't even know about the refuge book.
He explained, and Wei Xiaoge understood. It turns out that accepting others as subordinates is not just a matter of verbal words. There has to be a written formality to indicate that he is considered a domestic servant.
Because it is not a sale, it is not considered a slave.
There are two kinds of refuge letters.
The first is the signing period, when the time comes, the letter of refuge will become invalid, and you can leave directly.
The second type is more vague, there is no time limit, it is written that certain things will be handled, and when the things are done, the host will return the letter of refuge.
It's just that whether things are done well or not is a matter of one sentence, and it all depends on the mood of the head of the family.
If you are unlucky enough to encounter someone who is unreasonable and does not return the letter of refuge, you can also report to the department in charge of household registration in the yamen and let the government intervene. It's just that no one will take the path of the government unless they are forced to do so.
If you have no power or money, you will definitely lose the lawsuit.
In fact, signing a letter of refuge is not much different from selling oneself.
After listening to this, Wei Xiaoge thought to himself, the second type of refuge book is similar to the system. Sign a treaty, but don't give people a letter, be chewed like a chewing gum, and let you be in whatever shape you are.
Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
She waved her hand and said, "Don't mention the book of refuge." You help me with things, I'll give you some money for food and lodging, and teach you some cultivation matters by the way. As for what you want to do in the future, when you want to leave, it's up to you.
Then again, if you are not motivated, lazy in your work, and timid, then I can only ask you to find another job. ”
This is equivalent to hiring Xue Shaoxi as an employee and paying remuneration, his duty is to work and help watch a little Changfu.
Xue Shaoxi reacted immediately, a little like the apprentices in those shops, who worked while learning their skills while eating and living.
He didn't know if he was disappointed or happy.
If you don't accept the letter of refuge, you don't treat him as your own person.
However, there is no need to be a servant, and the father and mother are at ease underground.
Qianhong, who secretly hid in the distance and eavesdropped, didn't feel good in her heart.
Miss Wei doesn't talk much, but she says one is one, and she seems to take Xue Shaoxi as her own person, and she will also teach the method of cultivation.
And she is old and worthless, no wonder people don't look down on her. Listening to the girl's previous tone, it seemed that after a while she was sent away.
At this moment, Qianhong completely forgot that Wei Xiaoge never said that she would keep her from beginning to end. At first, it was agreed in Yi County that in the future, everyone would go their separate ways, and the two female dolls would be raised by her.
After dealing with Xue Shaoxi's matter, Wei Xiaoge went straight to chop wood and worked in the sun.
Qianhong and Xue Shaoxi are different.
But with the heroine system, I have to do a bunch of weird and frustrating tasks, and people who can't even run away will suffer with them. Xue Shaoxi can follow her side, but Qianhong is weak and delicate, and she is afraid that she will fall into the soy sauce bottle even when she hits soy sauce.
The weather was very cold, but the late autumn sun was a little dry, Wei Xiaoge raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat on his face.
Changgui was digging a trap very hard in the distance.
This kid's favorite thing to do is to dig holes.
According to Changgui, although the fence is made of sharpened wood and there is a trench outside, there is no trap that is very inappropriate.
Of course, it's best to stick sharp wooden thorns in the trap, and if you fall into it, you will die.
However, Wei Xiaoge immediately slapped him on the back of the head and knocked him out of this idea. If the little doll runs out to play and accidentally falls into the trap, it will be pierced by spikes.
Changgui thought that Changfu might fall into the trap, and he no longer dared to say that he was going to put wooden thorns, and he didn't even dare to dig too deep in the hole.
No matter how cunning and hard-hearted Changgui is, he is sincere to his younger brother, Wei Xiaoge thought to himself.
She thought about it in a daze, some things should be asked again, and they have been buried in her heart, like grass.
Wei Xiaoge said a little to Xue Shaoxi, and then walked to Changgui.
Changgui dug so hard that he didn't hear his sister come to his side at all, and he heard her cough twice before he raised his head from the big pit.
"Sister, this hole is four feet deep, and there are no wooden thorns underneath, but you can stagger a few wooden sticks. If a beast falls in, it will definitely get stuck. ”
Changgui's eyes were shining, as if to say, praise me, sister.
