The door of the small courtyard was closed, Dugu Zhishui pushed the door open, and silently closed the door, the flowers in the flower garden bloomed just right, but unfortunately he was not in the mood to appreciate it. As soon as Yuetong left, he really became an idler, and he had nothing to do.

After Yuetong left, the news of her entering the Shenwu Altar spread in the Yue family, causing quite a stir. Many people didn't believe that she would be able to pass this assessment, after all, this time, there were more than ten people in the Yue family who passed the selection of the Divine Martial Altar. But the facts are in front of them, and they can't be unconvinced. As a result, Yue Changhao's residence, which was originally deserted, has suddenly had many "relatives" who came to visit recently.

In the next few days, Dongmei Lanzhi didn't come, they went to serve Yue Changhao and Mrs. Yue, and only when they came to clean Yuetong's room every few days would they meet Dugu Zhishui, and everyone would stop chatting casually. Dugu Zhishui had nothing to do, and he couldn't think of what to do in the future for a while, so he simply stayed in his room all day to practice. It didn't take long until one day someone suddenly knocked on the door of the courtyard. It's not accurate to say it's knocking, it's actually slamming the door. Dugu Zhishui opened the door, and there was a short and fat middle-aged man standing outside the door, with an impatient look on his greasy face.

This person Dugu Zhishui recognized, his name was Jin Sanfu, and he was his nominal boss. In the Yue family, the subordinates are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, because the Yue family is too big, there are too many subordinates, and it is impossible for the big housekeeper to manage everyone. The chief butler directly manages the ministers of various functional departments with a clear division of labor, such as the minister of clothing, the minister of cleaning, the minister of living, the minister of catering, the minister of sundries, and so on. There is a small team leader under the minister, and the team leader manages the subordinates of various functional departments. And like Dugu Zhishui and Dongmei Lanzhi, they are more special, they do not belong to a specific functional department, they will not serve the entire Yue family, their service objects are only for specific people but there are all kinds of things to do, so they have a proper name, called domestic helpers.

Each clan has a steward, who is responsible for managing these domestic servants, and the direct supervisor of the domestic helper is the chief steward. It is actually a bit reluctant to say that it is managed, because domestic servants like Dugu Zhishui are unique to each house and branch, and to a large extent, they are only under the control of their own masters. However, in the Yue family, the commissions of the subordinates are uniformly paid, so there must be someone to pay the domestic helpers, so there is the position of helper.

Each helper is in charge of hundreds of domestic helpers, and although their power is limited, the fact that they are in charge of the domestic servants' commissions alone is enough to make them go sideways, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the food and clothing of the domestic helpers. Therefore, most of these people are used to being intimidating and domineering to the domestic servants on weekdays.

"Why are you only opening the door now? I've been waiting for you for a long time! I'll tell you, your salary this month is gone. Jin Sanfu pointed at Dugu Zhishui, full of spittle, and the stars flew wildly.

Dugu Zhishui wiped his face and said, "I don't know what Lord Jin is doing, it seems that the day has not yet come to send money, and even if you want to send money, you don't need to make a trip yourself." ”

"Hmph, I heard that you haven't done anything with money recently, and you've been doing some shady things in Miss Yuetong's yard all day long, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect you to be really nested here. Let me tell you, my Yue family doesn't support idlers, and if you take the money, you have to do things for me, otherwise you will get out. ”

"Our young lady went to the Shenwu Altar to practice martial arts, and I am her entourage, so naturally I can only help her guard the house and wait for her to come back silently. I'm doing my duty right now, and I really don't know where to start with that. Dugu Zhishui bowed his head slightly, arched his hands, and behaved neither humble nor arrogant.

"Where do you need to guard Miss Yuetong's courtyard? You can't eat rice as the guards of my Yue family, or are you saying that my Yue family will steal from their own heads? A waste who can't even cultivate, and I'm embarrassed to open this mouth?" Jin Sanfu sneered, his face full of disdain.

Dugu Zhishui not only did not get angry, but asked, "Then what does Master Jin think I should do?"

"Recently, the government is preparing to plant a batch of new flowers and plants, and a few people need to go to the mountains and forests outside the city to find some fertile soil, so you can go with them. ”

"On weekdays, this kind of thing is done by someone in the horticulture department, when do we need to do these things?"

"The gardening department has been busy recently, and the manpower is tight, so I temporarily transferred you over to help, what, do you have any opinions?" Jin Sanfu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Dugu Zhishui waved his hand and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, how dare I disobey Lord Jin's orders, since my young lady's yard doesn't need me to take care of it, I'll just go." ”

"Hmph, you kid is sensible. The others are already waiting outside the door, go quickly, don't delay. ”

After speaking, Jin Sanfu walked away. The corners of Dugu Zhishui's mouth rose slightly, glanced at his back lightly, and went back to pack his things.

After staying in Yue's house for three years, except for a little commission and a few clothes he saved, Dugu Zhishui had nothing. He carried all his money in his arms, cleaned up the room, and withdrew. He re-examined the small courtyard from beginning to end, a warm smile on the corner of his mouth.

"That's it...... Goodbye, maybe I won't have a chance to come back here again in my life. He slowly closed the door of the courtyard as if it had been closed for a while.

When Dugu Zhishui walked out of Yue's house, he saw two people standing outside the door and pacing impatiently. Each of the two had a horse-drawn platoon next to them, and they all looked at him with unkind expressions when they saw Dugu Zhishui come out.

"What's the matter with you, who is responsible for making us wait so long and delaying things?" one of them shouted angrily.

"You're a fucking king, hurry up, you're leaving!" the other scolded and beckoned to Dugu Zhishui.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Dugu Zhishui hurriedly trotted all the way and jumped into the car, and the two drivers glanced at each other vaguely, and the corners of their mouths flashed with imperceptible arcs.

"Do the two eldest brothers recognize me?" asked Dugu Zhishui, sitting on the wooden cart.

The driver of the wooden raft he was riding in replied, "Of course...... I don't recognize it. ”

Dugu Zhishui smiled, "There are so many people who come in and out of the yard every day, since the eldest brother doesn't recognize me, how can he see at a glance that I am the one who wants to run errands with you?"

The atmosphere suddenly became a little eerie.

"I know you, aren't you Miss Yuetong's big guard, you are a big celebrity among our people. The driver of the other row said sarcastically.

"That's right. I just saw that he recognized you, so I knew you were the one who went out of town with us this time. The driver of the row where Dugu Zhishui was located hurriedly echoed.

Dugu Zhishui said in a long voice: "Oh......"

The wooden cart slowly drove out of the city gate under the traction of a horse, and the tall city gate tower gradually faded away, and the eyes entered the unfathomable mountain forest.

The wooden cart suddenly stopped in the dense jungle, and Dugu asked puzzledly, "Why did you stop? ”

The other two silently jumped out of the car, their mouths raised, and stared at him with sarcastic eyes, like a butcher looking at a lamb to the slaughter.

"What's wrong, two? Dugu Zhishui smiled.

"I've been asked to give you a message," one of them began.

"Oh, who is it? Dugu Zhishui wondered.

"You're damned!"

The other person suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and slashed it at Dugu Zhishui's throat, Dugu Zhishui turned sideways slightly, and the other party missed. The man looked at Dugu Zhishui incredulously, with the strength of his martial artist, he would miss. As if he couldn't believe what had just happened in the lightning, the man stepped forward again, and the dagger in his hand was reversed, and it slashed horizontally.

Dugu Zhishui's fingers opened slightly, and with a ding, the chopped dagger was sandwiched between his fingers. The attacker's pupils shrank suddenly, and the other person saw that the situation was not good, and pulled out a scimitar from the bottom of the platoon, and slashed directly at the Dugu water surface door. Dugu Zhishui used his fingers hard, and the dagger was broken by him, and the broken section flew straight forward, and hit the scimitar blade with a bang, and the person holding the knife was shocked by the strong force from the knife body to crack the tiger's mouth, and the scimitar came out of his hand. At the same time as the dagger broke, Dugu Zhishui pushed forward and slammed a palm on the chest of the person holding the dagger. The man's chest suddenly sank, and a clear sound of bone cracking came out, and his body flew in response, and he fell out five feet away before falling to the ground with a dull thud, and blood choked out of the man's mouth, and he couldn't live.

The remaining one glanced at the man on the ground in horror, turned around and wanted to run away, but unexpectedly, a flash of Dugu Zhishui in front of him had blocked the way, so frightened that he suddenly collapsed on the ground, trembling all over.

"Rao...... Spare me, I ...... I'm also on orders, it's none of my business......"

"You've been with me for so long, why do you only want to do it now?" Dugu Zhishui squatted down and looked at him.

"You, you...... You're ......," the man's eyes widened, "I...... I, I, Miss Yuetong was at home before, and we followed you several times but didn't find a chance to get down...... Take action...... , Oh, hero, please spare the little one, it's all strange that the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, I still have an old mother and wife at home, and they still point to me for dinner......" He burst into tears and kowtowed again and again.

"You didn't look like you could have spared me before. Dugu Zhishui got up, turned his head to look at the person who was seriously injured by him, and seemed to be no longer moving. He frowned, even today, he still couldn't kill with peace of mind. "How many times has you killed someone?" Dugu Zhishui asked himself, thinking of this, he was slightly distracted.

The man who was paralyzed next to him saw that he was distracted, and his eyes suddenly flashed with cold light, and a needle with a black surface suddenly slipped down from his sleeve and stabbed straight into Dugu Zhishui's abdomen.

However, as soon as the man lifted the needle, his neck had been twisted to make contact with his shoulder.

Dugu Zhishui withdrew his hand and glanced at the man indifferently, sighing.

"I gave you a chance, but unfortunately you don't cherish ......"

The two corpses were burned to ashes along with the two wooden raft carts, and Dugu Zhishui left. The Yue family definitely can't go back, and the servant who came out of him seems to be with them, and he plans to stay in the mountains for a while before making plans.
