Chapter 514: The Cannon Fodder Cousin of the Male Protagonist of the Imperial Examination (37)
Xu Kui persuaded his father for a long time to no avail, but everyone formed a team, leaving him alone and without friends.
Is it so bleak?
He glanced at everyone with a wryful look.
When drinking, he is a good brother, and he will leave him when he competes, isn't he just promoted to the shopkeeper, increased his monthly money, proud of the spring breeze, and has a wide heart and a fat body...... Got a little fat? Just disliked like that?
The nurses and servants who were caught by his resentful little eyes looked left and right one by one, and they didn't dare to look at him.
Joke! Drinking can brag about the mountains, what is boating for? It's to pick the largest and fullest lotus pod of lotus seeds - to earn a lottery!
Of course, what is the use of looking for a fat man who is lean, flexible, and preferably knows how to steer, and who does not do business on a boat, and who does not row and cannot swim?
Xu Kui swept around, but he didn't find anyone who was willing to team up with him, and his eyes returned to his father.
Xu Yin took care of the housekeeper and directly gave him the stick with "one" written on it, so that he could directly compete in the first group without drawing lots.
After the competition, you can be like her - sit comfortably in the shade and drink tea, peel lotus seeds and watch the game! The province's heart is always hanging with a thing that has not been done, and he can't calm down to watch the game.
At this time, the royal guardian who was in charge of rowing with the old butler was already sitting at the stern of the boat, and the old butler was trembling towards the bow of the boat.
The little fishing boat was weighed, and shook with the water, which frightened the old butler and took the opportunity to persuade again:
"Dad, why don't I get on the boat and watch from the shore? I'm going to pick you the biggest and fullest lotus flower! β
"You go aside!"
"......" Xu Kui couldn't help muttering, "Where am I going?" I want to play too, but no one is on the same team as me......"
"You're looking for Sikong! He's also alone. β
As soon as he heard that there was a lonely figure with no teammates, Xu Kui suddenly came to his senses: "What about Sikong people? Sikong-Sikong-"
The account room, who was lazy in the house, was dragged out by Xu Kui helplessly.
Except for the steward and the royal guard, the other groups set the order by drawing lots.
Otherwise, everyone wants to compete first, lest the large lotus canopy that is behind and mature and full will be plucked away by the people in front, leaving only the young lotus canopy that has not yet grown full.
After drawing lots, the second group is Purple Kite and Red Qian, the third group is the nursing home of the free team, the fourth group is the two good little guys, and the fifth group is ......
Looking at the wooden skewers he caught in his hand, the two huge ones on it, Xu Kui was speechless: What kind of luck is this?
Except for Dad, there are only sixteen groups in total, and he was stunned to draw the last group.
"Sikong, it seems that both of us have bad luck, don't bet with others in the future, it's easy to lose."
Sikong glanced at him: "You caught it." β
ββ¦β¦ What do you mean? Aren't we all in this together? Xu Kui said unconvinced, "My luck is naturally our luck, what's wrong?" β
"This will not be the result if I catch it."
ββ¦β¦β
"Hurry, hurry! The first group begins! β
"The royal courtyard is so stable! It's stable and fast! β
"The housekeeper is an old chicken thief, and a girl just said that she was going to have a lotus pod picking competition, so he snatched the Wang Huyuan away."
"Daddy! Daddy, you can do it! Xu Kui shouted on the shore, "There is hope to get the lottery!" Go back and buy you wine with silver ingots, and keep the hairpin for your daughter-in-law! β
The old butler almost stumbled and fell into the water.
"Hahahaha......" everyone couldn't help but be happy.
"Oh, butler, you picked it up too fast!" Seeing that the housekeeper wore into the lotus bush and picked a lotus canopy down after a while, they all felt sorry for him, "Don't you pick one?" The half-burnt incense hasn't burned yet! β
"Daddy, you're too impatient!" Xu Kui shook his head regretfully, "Don't you see a particularly big lotus pod in the back?" Oops, what a pity! Don't expect to win the first prize now! β
The old butler almost had a green onion upside down: "You are stupid! When I see a big one, I pick it up for a while, what are you doing shouting out! β
Xu Kui: "......"
That's right! He's going to play in a while.
"Hahahaha......"
Everyone was so amused by these two that their cheeks laughed sourly.
Sure enough, the purple kite and red Qian in the second group picked up the extra-large lotus pod that Xu Kui said.
Xu Kui choked his wrists: "Purple kite, I thought that with our friendship, you would definitely not pick this lotus pod, but you picked it, so do you know what kind of behavior this is?" β
"What behavior?"
"Loot while it's hot!"
"Poof......
Xu Kui blocked the purple kite's work, and the other groups also finished competing one after another.
"Gone!" Sikong couldn't stand his noise, so he jumped on the boat first and sat down at the stern.
"Is it because the empty account is thin? How can you jump straight down and the boat won't move? I almost toppled over like this. β
Hearing the exchange of words between the two little guys, Xu Kui, who was going to jump to the boat in a hurry, quickly retracted his feet and gently put them into the cabin instead.
As a result, one foot went down, the other foot was still on the way, and the boat shook because of the uneven force.
He didn't stand still, and with a "plop" sound, he fell into the water.
ββ¦β¦β
"Puff ......"
The crowd on the shore was silent at first, and then turned their faces away and snickered.
I didn't dare to laugh too loudly, and I almost choked my breath as a result.
Xu Kui held on to the side of the boat and finally stood firm in the water, and wiped his face: "Girl, is this a handful?" Can you do it all over again? β
Xu Yin couldn't help but be happy: "If you're not afraid of getting wet and uncomfortable, just continue!" I'm okay with that! β
"It's such a hot day, what's the point of getting wet, it's a big deal that I take off my coat."
He climbed slowly onto the side of the boat, took off his coat, rolled up his trouser leg a few more times, and showed a scarlet plum blossom birthmark on the calf of his left leg.
Seeing this birthmark, Sikong's pupils shrank, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
"Oops, you saw it!" Xu Kui was about to say something to Sikong, when he looked up and stared at his calf, scratching his head shyly, "Isn't this birthmark quite embarrassing?" Not only like plum blossoms, but also bright red when unlucky, tsk! If Lao Tzu were a girl, he would admit it, but he was a man...... You said it would be nice to get a bruise, didn't you? It's hard for me to dare to pull my trouser legs every summer, for fear of being seen and laughing......"
"Whoaβ"
The air instantly froze, and a metal hidden weapon broke through the air and flew straight towards Xu Kui's faΓ§ade.
The speed was so fast, Xu Kui didn't react at all.
Sikong volleyed up in the air, threw a stone, and with a "bell", knocked down the hidden weapon.
Then, he scooped up the dumbfounded Xu Kui, clamped the person under his armpit, and stepped on the water surface of the lotus pond to leave the fishing boat.
It's just a blink of an eye.
"Woooo
The fishing boat was hit with more than a dozen hidden weapons.
The two wild birds were frightened, fluttering their wings and trying to fly away from the lotus pond, but they were both mistakenly hit by hidden weapons, and fell off the bow of the boat with two clicks, and the blood that flowed out was black.
"Poison, poison darts!" Wang Huyuan was shocked, "There are assassins! Protect the girl! β
Sikong, who returned to the shore with Xu Kui, twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw this, and said in his heart that it was this fat man who should be protected.
