Chapter 50: The Troubles of the Past (3)

Pang Qiushui already has experience, that is, there is hot water at night, so he decided to take a lot of hot water at night and take a good bath, he took a bath not purely for comfort, he rarely took a bath when he was a beggar before, and he was also used to the bites of various insects and lice, he took a bath just to follow the local customs, everyone here was very clean, only his neck and wrist were dirty, he was afraid that others would look down on him, especially Manager Liu knew that he was arranged by the master, and always kept looking at him, as if he could see gold from him.

And tomorrow he can't wear strict clothes anymore, it's a cadet's student uniform, he's not a cadet. You can only wear very poor quality miscellaneous uniforms, the cold protection effect of this kind of clothing is much worse than that of student uniforms, but miscellaneous uniforms also have an advantage, that is, they are wear-resistant, no matter how you wear them, they can't be worn badly, and the color is dark, and it is not easy to find out if they are dirty, and things always have advantages and disadvantages.

When it was time to eat in the evening, all the handymen sat around a very long rectangular table, of course, there was also Pang Qiushui, who ate white rice and cabbage fried pork, and there were a lot of pork slices, but these meals would be deducted from their handyman labor fees, no matter how much they ate, the price was the same, in a word, if they didn't eat for nothing, they didn't eat for nothing.

When did Pang Qiushui see such white rice and so much meat, and he could hear the sound of drumming in his stomach through his belly.

With the sound of Manager Liu's meal, everyone rushed to beat the rice, the dishes were ready-made and placed on the table, lined up in a row, the spacing was equal, six people had a large plate, Pang Qiushui found that it was useless to go to eat early to queue, it was better to take the opportunity to eat vegetables, so Pang Qiushui began to pick out the fat slices inside, which were moderately salty and melted in the mouth, so fragrant!

A "snap" slap hit Pang Qiushui on the back of the head, and a twelve or thirteen-year-old fat man stretched his chin forward and said, "New here, it's so unruly, I'll beat you to death believe it or not." ”

Manager Liu looked at Pang Qiushui who was beaten, and didn't say much, it was he who broke the rules first, even if he was the person arranged by the master, then he should be beaten, this slap was light, Manager Liu lowered his head and began to eat.

Pang Qiushui covered the back of his head with one hand, and stood up with the bowl in the other, everyone thought that he was going to eat, but in fact he was not, today he suffered from the eyes of others, and was kicked and beaten again, how much patience can an eight or nine-year-old child have, the pottery bowl in his hand was fiercely buckled on the head of the young man opposite, and blood flowed down his cheeks.

Although Pang Qiushui is young, he has a slender figure, and the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy is a few inches taller than him, but after all, he has a lot more strength to eat for a few more years, and he grabbed the clothes on Pang Qiushui's chest and pulled it back suddenly, Pang Qiushui immediately fell to the ground, and the thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy kicked him again, and then ran out to find the doctor on the mountain to bandage him, Pang Qiushui slowly got up at this time, the bowl for eating fell on the ground, not broken, but fell a gap, Pang Qiushui picked it up, and then walked towards the wooden barrel containing rice, today this incident blamed him, so no one sympathized with him, and one of them deliberately turned the wooden barrel over, The purpose is to tell him that there is no grain of rice, this is the end of unruliness, but who can understand the humiliation he suffered today, the master spoke coldly to him, Yan Ming asked him for bribes, the three senior brothers beat him indiscriminately, and the other students also looked disdainful.

Pang Qiushui carried the crowd on his back, and forced back the tears that were about to flow, then turned around and walked out of the canteen where the miscellaneous servants ate, this was not the place where the master and other formal students ate, just the miscellaneous servant canteen. He swore that before he learned martial arts, he must first learn to endure, endure all the time, and endure everything.

Pang Qiushui came to the place where he lived, and after a while he smiled heartily again, although he didn't eat today, he wouldn't be attacked by the cold wind tonight, because he had his own house, although it was smaller, it was just a single room, and it could only put a bed, a bath bucket and a charcoal basin for burning fire. So Pang Qiushui carried the kettle to the place where the hot water was boiled to fetch water, this time he was clever, he couldn't make too much hot water, because others may not be enough, but later he found that everyone went back and forth several times to make hot water, he was relieved, so he also played four pots full of hot water, he mixed the hot water and cold water into the bath bucket, closed the doors and windows, and burned the charcoal fire more vigorously, and then took off the clothes given by Yan Ming, and got into the bucket like a thin fish, very comfortable, if it wasn't for the gradual drop in the water temperature, he wanted to lie in the bath bucket all night。

The first day of miscellaneous service.

Pang Qiushui habitually touched the pillow to see if there were any leftover dry cakes from yesterday, no! Pang Qiushui was shocked, and then shouted: "Who stole my cake." The two eyes opened wide, and suddenly realized that the scene in front of them was so strange, and then realized that he was no longer a beggar, and no longer lived in that small broken house.

So Pang Qiushui got up in a miscellaneous uniform, and couldn't sleep anymore, this is the need of work, of course, the main thing is to be woken up by hunger, first of all, to clean the toilet, if the students find that the toilet is not cleaned, then they are sabotage, and they will be driven down the mountain. Pang Qiushui carried two buckets, each containing half a bucket of water, approached the toilet, and then the water in the two buckets merged into one bucket, the reason why he did this is because he carried the bucket like this, balanced on both sides, not tired, and the role of the two buckets is different, one for dung, the other for flushing water, Pang Qiushui cleaned one pit after another, and then transported the manure out and poured it into a donkey cart loaded with manure one by one. Until now, he had not seen a single cadet get up, while the handyman had already gotten up for the most part and had been working for a long time.

Pang Qiushui greeted Mr. Liu enthusiastically, because Pang Qiushui knew that the reason why Mr. Liu didn't help him yesterday was because he was not very enthusiastic about Mr. Liu, and now he has learned to be obedient, if he wants to mix, he must have a good relationship with his superiors, and he decided that he must know Mr. Liu's character, and prescribe the right medicine, Pang Qiushui planned to give his first month's salary to Mr. Liu, but he immediately dispelled this idea, he will have to pay tuition fees in the future, and let's talk about it later, Pang Qiushui finally understood his thoughts at this time, a few days ago he was just thinking about the problem of food and clothing, but now he is actually the head of the house, what a big ambition!

After unloading the dung, the donkey cart slowly drove back again. The back and forth time is longer, it's not that I can't drive, it's not that the donkey is lazy, the main thing is that there is snow on the ground, if you drive the donkey to run fast, the donkey will slide, and you can only let the donkey walk slowly.

However, when Pang Qiushui went, there was nothing on his body, and when he came back, he carried something in his arms, which were two books, to be more precise, there were two picture albums, one with a picture of the Spring Palace, and the other was a sword book, although Pang Qiushui was young, he had just turned ten years old, but he used to be a beggar, and his experience was much richer than that of his peers, he knew what was going on in the Spring Palace, and even knew that other young people who were careless were very yearning for it, he picked up these two books by the river, and the person who practiced the sword must also be a merry person, Pang Qiushui thought in his heart。

He hid two books in his arms, one of which he wanted to keep, and then study this sword book when he was introduced to swordsmanship in the future, and he decided not to wait for the master to teach him swordsmanship, he wanted to secretly learn swords, and strive to get started as soon as possible, this was the decision he made after picking up the sword book, and the other book, he wanted to give it away, he lived in the market for a long time, and those who entered and exited the Chunfeng Building were obscene on weekdays, and he listened to it a lot, and even hid under other people's windows at night, peeking at the love affair between lovers, which can be said to be close to spring. This album doesn't have much attraction to him, but it's different for these ordinary teenagers, so he wants to give it away, and he hasn't decided who to give it to, maybe in exchange for some silver, or in exchange for "friendship".

Pang Qiushui hurriedly ran into the house.

"It's almost time to eat, what are you still running around the house for?" Mr. Liu shouted at Pang Qiushui.

"I've just cleaned the toilet, so I'll wash my hands first. Pang Qiushui said deceptively, but his face was red, after all, he was young and would not hide his face. Manager Liu didn't see it, thinking that he was tired from working and running.

"Just go to the kitchen and wash it, and take a long detour. Manager Liu said again.

"I haven't poured the bath water from last night, I'm going to pour the water first. Pang Qiushui replied again.

"Regardless of you, it seems that yesterday's loss was not enough. Manager Liu turned around and shook his head.

Pang Qiushui came to his room, but the room is so small, and there is little furniture, where are these two books hidden, if they are not dealt with before, they are discovered, they are two crimes, one is to steal swordsmanship, is to be expelled from the mountain gate, but committed the crime of adultery, or expelled from the mountain gate, because the ground is dirt ground, Pang Qiushui wants to dig a pit, bury the book in it, and is afraid that the insects in the ground will bite it out, there is really no way, and finally Pang Qiushui is heartbroken, and the book is stuffed on the top of the bed board under his bed, and as far back as possible, almost close to the wall, then he took a breath, adjusted his clothes, and pretended to go to the miscellaneous canteen calmly。

Because Pang Qiushui greeted Mr. Liu warmly in the morning, Mr. Liu left him half a bowl of rice, the reason why he didn't leave much was that Mr. Liu wanted to teach him a good lesson, not following the rules, not eating on time, this is the end.

Pang Qiushui was really hungry, he hadn't eaten for a long time since yesterday, and he poured all the leftover vegetable juice from others into his rice bowl, as if it wasn't enough, so he said to the person who was about to wash the dishes: "I'll wash today's dishes." ”

The dishwasher understood what he meant, but it was too late to rejoice that someone was helping him with his work.
