Chapter 57: Stormy (3)

In the rainy night, the minions splashed muddy water on their feet, and the cold rain was dripping on their heads, busy before and after, running around, wind and fire, and it was rare to take a little breather.

Sleepless at night, he was slightly surprised, and secretly said: "I ordered Chen and Si Taibao to set up an ambush in the area of this high chair slope. Although he is allowed the right to make decisions on the spot, why is there such a turmoil at this moment? That's not the case with ad-hoc decisions! ”

He split the convoy, jumped through the crowd, and came to the front to take a closer look at the minions. I could see it clearly, only to find that each minion was carrying a bundle of things on his shoulder.

This thing seems to be relatively heavy, and it weighs down some minions, and they can't breathe anymore, but they can't bear it hard, but I'm afraid they can't hold it anymore.

Sleepless Ye pulled over a minion and asked sharply, "What are you doing, making a mess!" What about your Taibao? Why don't you see it out of control! ”

This minion was in a hurry, busy carrying things, and there was already a nameless fire on his body, which was about to break out; At this moment, seeing that it was the big boss who asked in person, he hurriedly suppressed his anger, didn't dare not answer, and gasped:

"Back to the big boss, the Taibao, who went down the mountain to buy dry firewood last night, came back with his brothers. They bought dozens of truckloads of dry firewood, which were parked at the foot of the eastern slope of the peak, and we are now moving the dry firewood from the cart to the house. We at the CPIC are probably also moving. ”

Sleepless at night: "Why don't you push the car up, but let you move stupidly?" ”

The minion said "bah" and said, "Why don't the little ones think like this?" However, the Taibao and our Taibao said that the mountain is high and the road is difficult to walk, how can the cart be pushed! Only the points were given to the heads of the small ones, and they were divided into pieces, and the truckload of dry firewood, stacked and stacked, was carried up the mountain. ”

After the minion finished explaining, he was about to leave, when Sleepless Night grabbed him, pointed to the thing he was carrying on his shoulder, and said, "This is the dry firewood you are talking about?" ”

The minion nodded.

Ye Wumian looked up and down for a while, and said, "But what is it wrapped in?" Looking at the appearance, it doesn't look like dry firewood. ”

This minion thought that he would not be able to walk for a while, so instead of being stupid and burdened, he simply put things off his shoulders and put them on the ground, waiting for the doubts of the big boss to be solved.

The minion said, "It's really a layer of stuff." According to the Taibao, it was wrapped in an oilcloth to prevent the firewood from getting wet by the rain. At that time, the stove was full of wet wood, and even if it was barely lit, there was a choking smoke, and it was not good to smoke the brothers. ”

Sleepless looked around, and sure enough, he saw that the things that each minion was carrying on his shoulders seemed to be wrapped in oilcloth.

He squinted his eyes and said: "Every pile of firewood is wrapped in an oilcloth, so Taibao is afraid that he doesn't know how expensive the oilcloth is?" Losers aren't so defeated! ”

In those days, oilcloth was expensive, and dry firewood was very cheap.

It is okay to wrap the oilcloth with an oilcloth to prevent the rain from wetting the firewood, but if each bundle is wrapped in a oilcloth, it is too extravagant and wasteful, and it is also exaggerated.

When you think about it, it's too unreasonable.

When things go wrong, there must be demons.

Sleepless looking at what was placed on the ground, his eyes shining.

Suddenly, with a "bang", the dragon scale iron sheath sword on his waist flew out, and the sword fell in his hand, and the thing "snapped" and split into two halves.

The tarpaulin on the surface is stretched out, revealing the inside of it.

Through the dim light around me, I could see that what was wrapped in oilcloth was indeed just a bundle of dry firewood.

He was slightly relieved.

looked at the stunned minion and said, "You don't have to move this bundle of firewood, go and move other firewood!" ”

This minion was like being amnestied, thanked him again and again, and rushed to the east of the peak.

Just as he was seeing this minion go away, Wu Zhangshi walked up to him and said with a smile: "Guibao Land is really rich, this firewood for the winter, you can buy so much in one breath." ”

Sleepless turned his head away, and was about to pretend to talk to him for a few words, but suddenly saw that under the lights, Wu Zhangshi's face revealed insidious from the inside out.

And the impression of someone, like.

The light was half-hidden, and half of Wu Zhangshi's face was dark, and half of his face was bright, which was weird and inexplicable. And the smile on the corner of his mouth made him shudder.

His heart sank, and he couldn't help but distance himself from Wu Zhangshi, his thinking was running rapidly, and the faces he had seen in his life, familiar and unfamiliar, were all in front of him, like the wind blowing the pages of a book, turning quickly in turn.

At a certain moment, a person's face was sifted out of many faces and gradually fixed in front of his eyes.

As if something was manipulating, the face slowly panned and applied to Wu Zhangshi's face.

Syllable!

Ffit, fit!

"Like, like!"

Sleepless Night's hand holding the dragon scale iron sheath sword tightened and trembled. The rain fell on him, and he was soaked up and down, inside and out, and he didn't know it.

The phantom of the human face cracked silently in an instant, shattered into fragments, dissolved in the air, and was no longer visible.

It was like a thunderclap on the ground, and the pupils that had been sleepless at night contracted suddenly, and his face was full of disbelief.

Wu Zhangshi was stared at by him uncomfortably, turned his head, and disappeared into the darkness, only the sound of dry laughter came.

"Your master, righteous man, don't be in a daze, keep walking."

His voice was no longer as polite as before, but sank, and there was a coldness that spread from top to bottom, a little colder than the ice and rain around him.

Sleepless at night, he hurriedly turned around, and his eyes changed to a big hand, shuttling, fiddling, and probing among the minions carrying firewood.

In the end, it was fixed on the footprints that the minions stepped on.

"The rain was incessant, and the roads were already muddy and soft. Walking on it, carrying firewood, it is inevitable to leave footprints. But why, some of the footprints are so deep? However, the owner of these footprints is not very fat. ”

"How heavy is the 'dry firewood' on this back, and it can press out such deep footprints?"

Suddenly, there was a vague answer in his heart.

Doubt, shock, and the feeling of waking up from a dream all came up like a tide.

At this moment, Sleepless almost understood, but he still didn't dare to believe it easily, and he had to seek evidence to prove that his "understanding" was wrong.

He suddenly pointed at a person and said loudly, "Stop, little minion!" ”

A little minion carrying firewood turned his head blankly, looked at him and said, "Big boss, is your name me?" ”

Sleepless flew up and said, "Who are you called?" What do you carry on your shoulders? ”

The little minion wiped his face and wiped a handful of water, I don't know if it was sweat or rain, and said bitterly: "Back to the big boss, the small one is carrying dry firewood on his shoulders, wrapped in oiled paper." Alas, it exhausts me to death. ”

"Since you're so tired, let's put it down and rest for a while."

This little minion saw that the big boss had spoken, and as soon as his strength was unloaded, there was a bang, and the "dry firewood" wrapped in oilcloth on his shoulder fell to the ground.
