Chapter 244: It's a dung
"My lord, this house just collapsed once in a heavy rain last month, and Xia Guan and his officials just repaired it! It's only been less than a month, why did you tear it down again? ”
Tao Qingyun was crying when he said this, Shao Xi played a round of knives like this, and almost bankrupted him.
"Master Tao, it's okay if you're fine, rest assured, rest assured! All the losses will be borne by the official, not only will your county guard mansion be restored to its original appearance, but also repaired more beautiful than the original, this matter is to blame for my carelessness, and I hope that Lord Tao will not be surprised. ”
Tao Qingyun originally wanted to say "It's okay, it's okay", but when he looked up, it seemed that there was really no room, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart!
Lao Wu came up and slapped Shao Xi's head, and said angrily: "You can play, I told you a long time ago to go outside to play, if you don't do it in the house, it will make a mess, what should I do now?" What about knives? Get the knife back. ”
Lao Wu's reminder suddenly made Shao Xi and Tao Qingyun panic.
Oh, yes! What about knives? I don't know where the knife flew, and if it hits the head of an unlucky guy, it can't be solved by just two sentences, and it's not a joke to kill people.
Fast! Find the knife!
A few people were disgraced, and ran out of the county guard mansion in a panic, running in the direction behind the mansion, and it seemed that the knife was flying in that direction before.
Turning to the back of the county guard's mansion, whether it was Shao Xi or Lao Wu, together with Tao Qingyun, they all "chuckled" in their hearts.
Boy! Behind is a private house, it seems that there is more luck than luck!
"Hurry, hurry! Go and ask who dropped something and go in, and quickly ask if anyone was hurt. Ouch, my mother! This is terrible! ”
Several people hurriedly dispersed to ask the nearby residents who had dropped something and went in, but after asking for a long time, no one knew.
When several people were in a state of confusion, a doll with a sugar cane in his hand and a dirty face ran in front of them.
"Are you looking for something that fell from the sky? Still shiny? ”
Shao Xi picked up the child and hurriedly asked, "Yes, yes, we are looking for something that fell from the sky, shiny, little guy, do you know where it is?" ”
The boy turned his head and pointed to a house not far away, and said, "I saw that thing fell in Aunt Li's pigsty, and it seemed to have hit the big sow." ”
Shao Xi hurriedly put the child down, took out two pennies and stuffed them into the child's hand, and asked the child to buy candy to eat. took Lao Wu and Tao Qingyun and ran towards Aunt Li's house in a hurry.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw that Aunt Li was standing in front of the pigsty wiping her tears, and she was still muttering and scolding.
"Which god doesn't have long eyes? I don't take the guy in my hand well, I fell into my pigsty and hacked the only old sow in our family to death, could it be that this pig offended you in the previous life, and you have to behead it in this life? You've taken revenge, but what should I do? You goddamn fairy and give me back my old sow. ”
When Shao Xi heard it, isn't that god who can't kill the eyes be me? Fortunately, it fell into the pigsty, and if it fell into someone's house, something big might happen!
Seeing this, Tao Qingyun hurriedly ran up and explained to Aunt Li: "Aunt Li, Aunt Li! I'm really sorry, but an adult from the capital in my house got rid of it when he tried the knife, and this knife flew to your yard, not some heavenly immortal. Your sow's subordinate will definitely compensate according to the price, and please don't be surprised by Aunt Li. ”
Aunt Li's eyes widened, she looked at Tao Qingyun with a look of surprise, and said in disbelief, "My lord, what are you talking about?" I tried the knife in your house and got rid of it, and the knife flew to my pigsty, are you right? Look at how far your government is from our house? ”
Tao Qingyun turned his head and looked in the direction of his mansion, indeed, he could barely see a roof before, but now he can't even see the roof.
Shao Xi hurriedly took out half of the money from his arms, stepped forward and stuffed it into Aunt Li'er's hand, and kept apologizing.
"This aunt is really sorry! Sorry, sorry! At one moment, the hand slid knife flew out, but fortunately no one was injured. You take this half of the money to buy a few pigs and come back, as for the dead sow, you should be invited to eat pork by your aunt. ”
Looking at the half of the money in her hand, Aunt Li's face flashed with excitement, but she stuffed the money back with her backhand, and said to Shao Xi seriously: "You are a big official from the capital, right?" I can't ask for your money, you came all the way and are a guest of our Nanshui County. I'll pack up the pig and sell it for meat, and the money I get in exchange for can catch two piglets, but will you be able to hold it next time you try the knife, young man? This time I cut off the pig's head, and next time I may not know what to cut. ”
"Yes, yes, yes! I won't try knives in the future, not in my life. ”
Good guys, and next time? This time I was so scared that my soul was gone, where would I dare to have a next time?
Shao Xi still insisted on asking Aunt Li to accept the money, but after some excuses, Aunt Li had no choice but to accept it.
But then the matter of taking the knife stumped a few people, the pigsty was too smelly, there was pig manure everywhere, at this time, in addition to pig dung and pig blood on the knife, it was all dry, where did you dare to go in and take it out?
Shao Xi turned his head to look at Lao Wu, Lao Wu rolled his eyes and walked aside with the wine jug, and then turned his head to look at Tao Qingyun, Tao Qingyun hurriedly lowered his head and began to clean the dust on his body. This means that no one plans to bird him, and the disaster is his own, and it seems that this pigsty can only enter by itself.
I found two bundles of hay from the yard and spread the hay from the door of the pigsty little by little, so as not to step on the pig manure, and finally walked to the sow's side, Shao Xi almost vomited.
I saw the huge pig's head rolling to the side, the pig's neck cavity was still bubbling out of blood, the pigsty was already full of the smell of pig dung, and now with the smell of pig blood, it smelled like a top, Shao Xi almost poured out all the things he ate in the restaurant just now to feed the dead pig.
Shao Xi pinched his nose and squatted down, and picked up the treasure knife lying in the pig dung, the knife was full of a mixture of pig dung and pig blood, and when Shao Xi picked it up, he made his hands all over it, and almost threw it back as soon as he let go.
I finally dragged the treasure knife stained with pig dung out of the pigsty, but how did I get it back? You can't just drag it all the way, can you? With his small body, he definitely can't carry it back, and the only choice is to carry it.
"Woohoo......!"
At the thought of carrying such a large piece of pig manure back, Shao Xi immediately sighed.
Look at Lao Wu and Tao Qingyun again, at this time, the two of them have already pinched their noses and hid far away, as if Shao Xi is the biggest piece of pig dung right now.
Alas! The debts you owe are repaid by yourself, and the sins you have done are borne by yourself, who let you have to play with this knife in the first place?
I grabbed a few more handfuls of hay from the haystack in the yard, rolled the red tiger bite silver knife stained with pig dung, rolled it with hay and carried it directly on my shoulder, and staggered towards the county guard's mansion.
Lao Wu and Tao Qingyun followed from afar, and no one wanted to walk with him anymore.
Along the way, Shao Xi is like being poisonous, people hide far away wherever he goes, and some good people are still pointing behind his back to discuss whether this person will be a "dung green"? At first, Shao Xi was still a little red-faced, but later he simply got used to it, his eyelids went down, he couldn't see anything, he couldn't hear anything, and he just walked back.
Finally returned to the county guard's mansion, and when he entered the yard, he saw that half of the house had collapsed, and Shao Xi was a black line at the end again, he was really unlucky today, and he stuffed his teeth when he drank cold water.
Tao Qingyun hurriedly called someone and ordered him to boil water to prepare for Shao Xi to bathe and change his clothes, and asked someone to take down the knife and wash it. The people in the house also pinched their noses and came over to ask Shao Xi to put the knife on a door panel, and the two of them carried it away.
This time the loss of face is really too big, I originally wanted to show off my skills, but now the house collapsed, and I was covered with pig manure, which has become the biggest joke in Nanshui County. It is estimated that even if he leaves Nanshui County, he will be famous for a long time, no one knows it, no one knows it, but this reputation seems to be a little stinky, and it is still a real smell.
When Shao Xi finished bathing and changing clothes in the back hall, and came to the front yard refreshingly, he saw Tao Qingyun sitting on the pile of rubble, holding his chin with his hand in a daze, and his face was full of gloomy clouds. And Lao Wu was sitting on a stone bench in the middle of the courtyard, shaking his head and repairing his silver wine jug that had been smashed and deformed. The whole scene looks like the scene of a disaster after an earthquake.
Shao Xi sighed and shook his head. It's all his own trouble, it seems that he has to find a way to make up for it, otherwise, this Tao Qingyun probably won't want to see himself again in this life.
"Lao Tao, you go to find some laborers to come over, and then send someone to buy some new bricks and stones, wood and come back here, and in the next few days, you will renovate your county guard's mansion, the thing you originally repaired is too dealing, this time repair it well, all the money will be paid by me." As for those laborers, you just couldn't bear to requisition them at the beginning, so even if you hire them this time, I will pay for them. ”
Tao Qingyun looked up at Shao Xi pitifully, but still said very principledly: "This county guard mansion is originally public property, and it should be repaired at the expense of the county, but the lower officials are incompetent, and the county is short of finances and has no money to repair it, how can you let your own pocket to replace the incompetence of the lower officials to bear the consequences?" This is absolutely unacceptable. ”
"Old Tao, what nonsense are you talking about? This official sent an envoy to Nanzhao this time, and at the same time also had the responsibility of inspecting and supervising various places. Now I see that your county guard needs to be repaired, and naturally the court will pay for it, so why not? Hurry up and arrange for people to buy materials, and before I leave your Nanshui County, you must repair your county guard mansion in good shape, otherwise it will not damage the face of the imperial court? ”
Tao Qingyun made sense when he heard this! Immediately smiled, walked out of the pile of broken bricks and tiles, and said with a smile: "Thank you Lord Shao for showing compassion to the lower officials, don't arrange for the next person to do this matter, the lower official will run in person, the manpower and materials will be arranged soon, and the work will start today." This time, we have to make it stronger, lest it collapse again in the next heavy rain. ”
"The old doesn't go, the new doesn't. All the furniture and utensils in the house are completely replaced, and even if they are not damaged, the old ones are thrown away. ”
"My lord, you don't need to waste it so much, do you? Some of the old stuff still works. ”
"Then why don't I play with the knife again?"
"Gotcha! Whatever you say is what it is, can't I just do it? ”
