Chapter 10: Life in the Fairy World from Scratch
Chen He seemed to have entered a strange space at this time, white on all sides, only him and the woman in front of him, this was a woman who was so beautiful that she could be described as "exquisite", there was no superfluous decoration on her body, and her turquoise robe slid to the ground like water waves.
If such a perfect woman is not enough, it is that this woman feels resentful all over her body, like a ghost, and this woman has no life fluctuations, nor does she have a sense of intelligence, just like a terrifying painting, and she feels the breath of resentment on her body that makes people uncomfortable, as if she is waiting for someone and hates that person.
Chen He wanted to move, wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't do anything, as if he had forgotten how to control his body, couldn't move, and couldn't speak.
At this time, a woman's love poem sounded in the sky: "The spring water is just born, the spring forest is in full bloom, and the spring breeze is not as good as you." The face in the season is like a lotus blossom, I don't believe in the love that comes but can't wait for your agreement, sometimes, at dusk, the sound of the flute comes from the lake, if you don't love me at this moment, I won't care. Sweet upset, pleasant upset......"
This is not so much a poem, but a singing, although Chen He didn't understand a sentence, it's quite numb, the first sentence gives people the feeling of "Why is this sound so good?" but the second sentence began to sound smaller and smaller, Chen He couldn't help but want to step forward to hear it clearly, at this time he seemed to return to control of his body, but he didn't know it, but just as he took a step forward, suddenly the music stopped, the singing stopped, and Chen He returned to the burial sword pit!
The sight in front of him disappeared completely, and in its place, a layer of ripples appeared on the sword body, and a huge wave of sea ripples in the air violently rolled him up!
Chen He screamed, was hit into the air and flew weakly, dizzy from the impact of the waves, and was about to fall to the ground, at this moment he felt a huge force grabbing his hand, taking him out of the burial sword pit, and quickly fled.
When he opened his eyes, Chen He was already outside the cave.
"You two also failed, but luckily you didn't get any injuries, let's go. Elder Chen looked at Chen He who was lying on the ground and said.
Wu Shishi helped Chen He up, and the two saluted Elder Chen, and turned around and walked towards the miscellaneous servant under the leadership of the monk.
"Ahem, ahem...... Wait. Elder, can we still come here in the future?" Chen He suddenly turned to Elder Chen and asked, he felt that this sword was not as domineering as the other swords, and if he tried a few harder, it seemed that there was a way to take it away.
"There is no restriction on this sect, but it takes a lot of spirit stones to open the protection ban, and the protection ban cannot be opened, but it will die, so don't make trouble for my old bones." Elder Chen said without opening his eyes.
Chen He remembered, bowed to Elder Chen, and turned to leave.
The monk who led the way didn't go far, so he casually pointed the way and left, the people here seemed to be dark, and they didn't come out when they returned to the dormitory, Chen He and Wu Shishi wasted more than an hour looking for the registration office, and almost got lost, the moon was in the sky, and a thin layer of fog rose in the mountains, it was very cold, but fortunately, Chen He and the two finally found a house specially arranged for named disciples before the weather became colder. A pock-faced female monk cultivated cross-legged wherever she didn't even look at the two of them, so she casually threw each of them a waist card and a gray robe, so that the two of them could go, and let them close the door casually.
When Shishi saw that the clothes were thin, ugly and dirty, she was about to lose her temper after receiving this treatment, Chen He stopped her, and the other party looked like a monk, and the monks shouted and killed one by one, what if she was angry and risky? We can't do dangerous things, and we are kind to the other side, not like a bad person. So Chen He obediently closed the door for the other party, and by the way, respectfully asked where they lived outside the door.
Seeing that the other party knew the current affairs so well, the numb-faced woman said in detail: "Go north, see a row of houses and arrive, where to show the disciple the waist card, the lady is a little farther away, the steward of the lady's room is a dead pervert who is greedy for money, you be careful, the new female disciple who goes back so late will definitely be arranged by her to the west room, the female friars in the West are all bitches and masochists, and they like to bully newcomers the most." If you are not prepared, it is better for me to let her sleep in the men's room tonight, otherwise this junior sister will have to sleep in the toilet tonight. ”
Chen He was taken aback, Wu Shishi came to this Star Fortune Sect with herself, how could she let Wu Shishi suffer like this, and immediately took out a silver ticket and stuffed it in front of the female monk along the window, the female monk was stunned for a moment, her face changed, and she spoke again: "If you are so rich, you can ask her to send this junior sister to the east room, where is there a female disciple called Bai Huaqi, he is the younger sister of the inner disciple, and she is also the first sister of the miscellaneous maid department, she can speak among the miscellaneous virgin friars." As for the friars, I don't know. I'm a monk, the money is useless to me, take it. ”
The nun waved her hand, and the silver ticket flew out of the window and fell into Chen He's hand, and Chen He hugged his fists in thanks.
The pock-faced woman said again: "Everyone in the Xingyun Sect has the right to cultivate, you go straight to the mountain tomorrow morning, on the first floor of the tower of this mountain, there is a Fu bookstore! You can go to the Fu Bookstore to rent the mental method of "The Three Layers of Qi Training", as long as you complete the first layer of Qi training, you can become a registered outer disciple, many people have entered the sect for more than a year and don't know about it, remember, this door Fu bookstore is only open at noon, and the miscellaneous disciples will return the books within three days each time they borrow them, otherwise they are stealing books, and no excuses are allowed. ”
Chen He hugged his fists and expressed his gratitude, the senior sister is really a good person, and sure enough, there are good people among the monks.
The two of them went all the way to the north, the night sky above the mountains was really too cold, and the gray robe of the Star Luck Sect was much thinner than expected, Wu Shishi had already put on his gray clothes, it was still so cold, in fact, Chen He was also cold, but it was a little stronger than Wu Shishi's clothes, so Chen He also put his gray clothes on Chen Shishi's body. Wu Shishi didn't know whether she was moved or cold, anyway, her nose was red.
Not long after, the two saw a row of simple thatched huts, and they knew that Chen He's men's bedroom was in place, but Chen Heli should send Shishi first, because from what they had just said, Shishi's women's bedroom was in big trouble.
Sure enough, not far away, is the place where the women's handymen live, compared to the woman's house is indeed much smaller, because there are very few women who can become handymen, and generally if the qualifications are not enough, they will die to go home and marry, thinking of this, Chen He knows that for Wu Shishi, who came here with her impulse to endure hardships, although she was impulsive, but her own responsibility cannot be escaped, Chen He's did something for her, and she must protect her safety in the fairy world.
Knocking on the door, the first thing they saw was naturally the female steward who didn't do anything in the mouth of the pockmarked face, this steward was quite fat, Chen Hefang's father had taught, fat is a symbol of power! It is also a warning not to be provoked! So he asked Shishi not to leak his dissatisfied expression with her, and Chen He talked to her first.
The housekeeper was disturbed by someone in the middle of the night, and when she came out, she spoke viciously to each other, and then the firelight, and saw that Chen He was quite handsome! Moved her hands and feet to Chen He's little white face, and even wanted to pull it into her room, and the angry Shishi couldn't wait to slap it, but Wu Shishi's angry expression naturally made the housekeeper angry, and said that she would let her sisters take good care of Wu Shishi, but Chen He took out the almighty silver ticket tactic and shouted: "Sister! I will buy out the title of your "sister" for Wu Shishi from today onwards!"
People are under the eaves, Chen He spent a lot of money to feed the housekeeper, and when he saw that there were only three silver tickets left, Chen He handed over all his remaining three silver tickets to Wu Shishi, saying that after entering, don't forget to go to the senior sister called Bai Huati, put away her young lady's temper, this is the last power that he Chen He can protect Wu Shishi, I hope Wu Shishi's mouth is sweeter, otherwise, Chen He can only take Wu Shishi down the mountain.
Wu Shishi is not an ignorant person, knowing that Chen He has reached the limit, she will return the gray robe on her body to Chen He, and she will return the money to Chen He, because the time is now that the mountains are as cold as winter, and without money, Chen He may not be able to knock on the door of the housekeeper's house.
Chen He didn't ask for it, because he saw it just now, without this money, Wu Shishi would be enough to sleep in bed at night!
Perhaps in the minds of the two of them, out of fear, these monks had been demonized, but ironically, what they feared happened without deviation.
Wu Shishi did give all these three silver tickets as tribute to the senior sister named Bai Huaqi, and immediately got a bed of her own, a set of warm and clean bedding, and even some winter clothes to keep out the cold at night.
And Chen He returned to his accommodation, the man's accommodation manager was too lazy to open the door for Chen He, Chen He touched himself up and down, but there were still some scattered silver taels and copper coins in his arms, maybe he was in a hurry, Chen Yuanwai stuffed all the money on his body into his son's clothes.
After handing over all the money to the male steward, the male steward thought that Chen He was a poor scholar and it was not easy, so he showed great mercy and let Chen He successfully enter the house, but Chen He did not have his own bed, let alone a quilt, after sparing a circle, he could only hide in the haystack, at first it was still very uncomfortable, took out the business booklet left by Chen Yuanwai for a while, read it for a while, and entered the dream fragrance.
The next day, as soon as the rooster crowed, the male steward came, and the rooster here seemed to be different from ordinary roosters, and the crow was so loud that it was deafening!
Although Chen He often gets up early, he has never been woken up by a chicken, the feeling is really different, his body is clear, but he doesn't want to open his eyes.
"Don't play dead there, get up. I've divided a room for you, look at your sissy face, what do you do when you chop wood, carry water, lay bricks, farm, breed, and cook?" asked the steward.
Chen He rubbed his eyes, reacted for a while before remembering where he was now, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Ah, I said to write and read the secretary's account!"
"Oh, it's rare to play with a pen, but we have bookkeepers, and there is no elder who lacks children, and you are not capable of doing heavy work, so let you copy books, but your momentum is too weak to write words with spirituality, how is this good......" The steward touched his chin.
Just when the male steward hesitated, Chen He remembered what his father wrote in the booklet: "If one day you run out of money and send someone to the fence, don't treat yourself as a servant!" You can't lose the initiative to be at the mercy of others, otherwise any hard work will fall on you, maybe you have no room to choose work at that time, but you can take the initiative to change your work, even if you make it up, but also make up a great thing you can do, and then do more things and talk less, so that you can have the most free time after you finish your work, these free time will be the key to your comeback, so, take the initiative, Mao Sui self-recommendation! ”
Thinking of this, Chen He immediately spoke: "It's really a bit difficult for me to work hard, but I've been working since I was a child, otherwise how about I do housekeeping for everyone?"
"Housekeeping?" the steward was stunned.
Chen He: "You see that everyone is usually working, very little hygiene, after a long time there will be diseases, I will plant them to wash and fold quilts, and do not use water! I take everyone's clothes to the bottom of the mountain to wash, and when I come back after washing, I promise that I will not lose them." ”
The steward looked Chen He up and down: "You are a big man, I see that you are also a scholar in the world, don't you feel ashamed to wash and fold quilts for others?"
"There's no shame. Chen He hurriedly put on his gray robe, and suddenly became exactly the same as those disciples who were working outside, and said: "Not only do I wash and fold quilts, but I also have good needlework, and when I was a child, I often sewed toys for my younger brother, all of which are high-end goods, not to mention patching up the clothes, even if I make a new set of clothes, it's no problem!"
As soon as Chen He's words came out, the steward's eyes lit up.
However, it was Chen He who bragged that he could not sew and mend clothes, let alone make clothes.
His father wrote in the book: If you want to be trusted in front of your boss, you must first learn to brag about your talents, even if you make something out of nothing.
"Yes, yes, that's good, although we have the job of washing clothes for the outer disciples, but we haven't washed the clothes and bedding for the miscellaneous servants, it is true that they are dirty and often get sick, then during their future work, the matter of washing the clothes of the miscellaneous servants will be handed over to you, anyway, there are many of us who are not bad for you to eat, do you know how many clothes we have to wash? Is there a problem?" said the steward, in a heavier tone.
"No problem!" Chen He said.
"Okay, okay, that's it. Go, go to the two big pots in the props storeroom, the biggest one, start working today. The steward went satisfied.
Chen He smiled slightly, he would not be frightened by the number of 500 clothes, because who would wash 500 clothes in one go? He knew yesterday that a person usually only has such a gray dress, and after 500 clothes have been washed, they have to work bare-chested? Moreover, the handyman cannot live on the top of the mountain, but on the mountainside, and it should rain here often, so naturally there is no need to wash clothes when it rains, even if the sun is so sufficient, wash it in the morning and dry it at noon, and don't blame me for deserting in the afternoon.
Chen He went to the props room to ask for a huge basin, and then began his own journey, on the first day he asked for a total of ten clothes, ten bedding, and washing clothes is fake, mixed face is real! Chen He did not say what his duty was, only said that he wanted to wash everyone's clothes, then these miscellaneous disciples naturally accepted it happily, although they had various attitudes, but most of them said: Young man, you are very good.
On the first day, he rinsed the clothes and dried them, and observed the quality of the laundry, because he didn't actually know how to wash clothes. After calculating how long it took to complete the amount of ten people, the next day he asked for twenty clothes in the same way, and on the third day he asked for fifty, and found that the quality of the washing had greatly decreased, so the fourth day said that he had knocked over the clothes yesterday and rewashed them for everyone today. On the fifth day, it was reduced to thirty, and half a month later, when everyone's clothes were washed, Chen He found that since these people had no time to rest, Chen He wanted to run to find the steward.
It was Chen He who proudly said to the steward that everyone was very satisfied with their laundry, that is, there was only one piece of clothing, and they hoped that every thirty people would take turns to give them half a day off every month, so that they could wash their clothes, and they would wash all of them every month, and of course they would wash their own bedding.
When the steward heard this, he felt that something was strange, and asked the disciples of the miscellaneous service department, and the miscellaneous service department did not know that Chen He was responsible for washing clothes, and the steward asked Chen He how to wash clothes. They all said, yes, the young man is very good, so I heard that you want to take half a day off every month? Then they must all say, "Ah, that's great! The steward was naturally at a loss, so ...... It's good.
So Chen He's real good days of "working for half a day and taking a half-day vacation" began.
Chen He cooled up today's clothes, took a big breath of fresh air from the top of the mountain, leaned against the tree, took out the books he rented from Fu Bookstore today, looked at the sky and said to himself: "I always hear that it is tiring to work for people, is this what it feels like to work for people? ”
