Chapter XVIII Tasks
"Playing mahjong. ”
"Who do you play mahjong with?"
"Madame's husband. ”
"I asked you to find his wife, what are you looking for his husband for!"
"Of course, tell him that you let me secretly find his wife, let him be careful, and it is best to quit your steward of wolf ambitions. ”
"The task you accepted is to find Madame, you don't look for Madame well, what are you messing around!"
"What about me, why are you doing to launch the task of 'finding the lady' when you have nothing to do? and sneakily ask someone to help you find it, if you don't have a ghost, why do you want someone to help you find it!"
"Yes, Steward Wang, what are you sneaking into asking people to find my wife!" a middle-aged man with a big belly and wearing a staff uniform stood up and pointed angrily at the old man and asked.
"Old ...... I ...... old man," the old butler's tears were about to flow out, "I...... I...... Woo...... I won't play anymore!" the old butler was speechless for a moment, bit his black lips, and ran out of the crowd with his face covered.
He clapped his hands with Liu Xiu tacitly, and the middle-aged man stroked his goatee and laughed heartily: "Haha! I really let the little brother say it right! Steward Wang is really a sissy, by the way, how did you see it, little brother? You must know that he has been with me for more than ten years, and I haven't found out!"
"Of course I can't find out!" Liu Xiu said with a smile: "When I was playing mahjong yesterday, Blacksmith Ji told me, and he said that Mrs. Tianzun inadvertently revealed it when she asked him to play the iron whip before yesterday. ”
"The day before yesterday?" Ji Yuanwai was stunned for a moment, "Didn't Mrs. the day before yesterday say that she would go back to her parents' house?" Suddenly realizing something, he was furious, gritted his teeth, and said, "Damn blacksmith!
Ji Yuanwai rubbed his aching forehead, and when he saw the person he hit, the pupils of his eyes contracted suddenly, and he shouted with little confidence: "What are you doing! It's amazing to look like a blacksmith!" After speaking, he smiled dryly and retreated, turned his head and raised his feet to slip away, but who knew that he accidentally stepped on the air and fell into the ancient well.
"Ahh Hearing his words, the nervous crowd immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boy, do you remember me!" The long eyebrows twisted, and the white-haired old man pointed at Liu Xiu angrily and said, "Don't think that Steward Wang's matter will be fine if it is solved! Yesterday I asked you to name my newborn son, what did you call it!"
"Ji Lao, what's wrong?" Liu Xiu wondered.
"Tell me what the name is, and is it still a human name!" the old man snarled angrily.
"No, I think Ji Lao is very good, if you don't want it, my son will be called Ji Lao in the future. A village woman who was watching said with her eyes shining.
"Yes, my grandson will be called Ji Lao, too!" cried another gray-haired old man with a hunched waist, pulling his eyelids.
"See, right?" Liu Xiu pointed to the villagers and said to the old man, "Everyone wants this name! If you don't want it, I'll give you a new one, huh...... How's Ji You?"
"You don't know how to name it! It's embarrassing to say such an ugly name!" said a scholar disdainfully, "I think the name Ji You is too cheesy, so I just call it ...... Calling ......" His forehead gradually overflowed with beads of sweat, and his eyes rolled drippingly, and he said excitedly: "Ji You's name is good! I think it's good to be called Ji You!
"Yes, yes!" the crowd echoed.
"Ji Lao, Ji You, both names seem to be in high demand, which one should be called?" the old man thought reluctantly.
"It's not easy. An onlooker said: "The little name is Ji You, and the big name is Ji Lao!"
"Reasonable, reasonable!" the onlookers nodded in agreement.
"I didn't think I was lucky to get two good names at once! No, I had to write it into the family tree so that no one else would get the first priority. The old man smiled, and couldn't wait to squeeze through the crowd and run towards the village, and when he came to the ancient well, he paused and looked down at it and said contemptuously: "This is the well that Ji De's boy fell into, and I have always paid attention to it." ”
As he spoke, he moved his body to the side, and was about to leave, when suddenly a familiar voice came from the well, "Haha! This place is so hidden, even if the blacksmith Ji has three heads and six arms, he can't find here! Haha! I have found a treasure!"
"What are you looking for me for?" asked the blacksmith when he came to the well at some point, stuck his head in it, and asked in confusion.
"Treasure?" The old man who was about to leave with his feet raised heard the word "treasure", his eyes flashed, revealing a greedy look, and he quickly pulled away the blacksmith Ji who was lying on the well, he bent down and looked at the bottom of the dark well and asked, "Ji De, what did you just say?"
"Is it the village chief?" A surprised and vigilant voice came from the bottom of the well, and then Ji De's laugh echoed inside: "Hehe, it's nothing, I haven't picked anything up, ah! The weather is so good today, and the earthworms at the bottom of the well have come out to bask in the sun." ”
"There's a problem! Could it be that this kid has really picked up a treasure?" the old man's eyes rolled slightly, and he looked down with wide eyes, trying to see the bottom of the well, but one of them accidentally fell down.
"The village chief fell into the well to save Ji De!" someone shouted, and the crowd immediately stirred.
"Don't worry, everyone! Ji De's belly is very big, and the village chief will definitely be fine if he falls!" A farmer holding a triangular iron fork and wearing a straw hat walked out of the crowd to calm down everyone, and after everyone calmed down, he came to Liu Xiu and glared at him and said: "Boy! Remember that I don't! Yesterday I asked you to look for a bride according to the clue of the mission, and you found something for me!"
Pulling out the white-haired old woman who was wearing a big red wedding dress next to him, he said angrily: "Look, everyone! I asked this kid to find the bride and gave him a hint, but he found an old woman for me! I mistakenly thought she was a widow grand, and she tossed her all night, and now I still have a back pain!"
"Hey, old man, what do you mean!" Liu Xiu said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't she the bride, the new bride, I worked hard to find her for you, but I didn't expect you to do such a beastly thing to her!"
The old woman on the side listened to the farmer's words, raised her lifeless eyelids, waved her stick and smashed the yellow dragon, and exclaimed strangely: "What!
"No, no, no!" the farmer covered his pants and gritted his teeth, and said righteously, Ling Ran: "My farmer will naturally not repay his debts!"
"That's pretty much it. The old woman nodded with satisfaction, raised her wrinkled old face, pursed her lips and made a strange sound of "poo ......".
The farmer forcibly kissed the old woman with discomfort, and then under the dull gaze of everyone, he pointed at Liu Xiu with tears in his eyes and said, "Fellow villagers, you have all seen it, this kid ...... me Anyway, he's broken the rules badly, and I'm proposing to bring in the village chief! Let's sign a declaration denying this kid to pass the second level! Everyone ......."
Before he finished his words, a frightened scream suddenly came from the ancient well next to him, "Help! There are snakes! I'm most afraid of snakes!"
"It's noisy!" the farmer was interrupted, his forehead was bruised, he raised his iron fork and threw it down, and then turned to face the crowd with indignation, and said, "I hate to be interrupted when I speak, by the way, where did I just speak?" ”
