Chapter 82: Xianyuan Town (4)
"cough cough cough ~~~ cough cough cough
Chu Liuxian and the others had just put their feet on the ground, and the gate of Xianyuan Town was less than ten zhang in front, and the mayor suddenly coughed violently, reminding that the taste was extremely strong.
The person he reminded was naturally the fat aunt.
Looking at the fat aunt again, a big fat hand covered her mouth, and when she saw Chu Liuxian and the others looking over in surprise, she put down her hand and smiled wryly: "It's okay, it's okay, my aunt said something wrong, look at this mouth." ”
She slapped her mouth a few times, and it made a "snapping" sound.
The cough reminded by the mayor and the actions of the fat aunt made Chu Liuxian and the others more and more uneasy.
Together, everyone turned back and looked at the place full of fruit trees.
"Scared!"
The little fat man reacted the most, jumping directly three feet high, as if he had seen a ghost.
Chu Liuxian and the others were not as exaggerated as him, and they also changed color instantly.
Looking back, the surface of the river, which was originally only ten zhang wide, stretched out indefinitely, mighty and mighty, as if there was no big river on the other side, and it was beyond the power of man.
On the river, the fog was heavy, and a bird that flew from nowhere flew into the sky above the river, and the next moment, it fell like a stone, and was swallowed up by the raging waves.
Beyond the big river, there are layers of mist, covering the sky and the sun, as if a fairy town has become a space of its own, and the outside is a place of Hongmeng chaos that has not been opened up.
Seeing this scene, no one was stupid enough to try to see if they could fall into the water without sinking, and one by one, their hearts followed the bird, and one of them sank down, and understood the meaning of the fat aunt's words before.
"Damn, this Xianyuan Town is not allowed to enter or leave at all!"
The little fat man couldn't wait to curse the heavens and the earth, and finally lowered his voice very sensitively, and only Chu Liuxian and Yun Xiangrong could hear it.
The orangutan, the rabbit, and the kitten were also whispering, and although they couldn't understand it, they didn't think it was much different.
"Haha~~. Ladies and gentlemen, enter the town, enter the town. ”
The mayor of the town snorted and winked, and a group of townspeople poured into the town surrounded by the people who were still distracted.
There was an uproar, and before Chu Liuxian and the others could see the situation in the town clearly, many townspeople surrounded them in the dark, blocking the entrance of the town, and they all stared at Chu Liuxian and the others with bright eyes, just like a vicious dog seeing meat and bones.
Chu Liuxian and the others were horrified by this gaze. If it weren't for the vast expanse of water outside, I would almost want to turn around.
The gaze, the desire in the gaze, was too scary.
"I'm suffocating. ”
"That's it, I've finally been tricked in. ”
"Hahaha, there are cows and horses behind you, so you don't have to work your own. ”
......
The noisy and noisy sound came into their ears, and Chu Liuxian and the others magically listened to it word for word, but they would rather not hear a word.
What are these words? What are you kidding?!
If it weren't for the fact that they hadn't figured out the situation yet, Chu Liuxian and the others would have the heart to turn their faces.
Seeing that those townspeople were so enthusiastic that they were so enthusiastic that they were about to ignite the air, Chu Liuxian hurriedly asked, "Mayor Town." What's going on?"
The mayor's originally smiling face fell, and he stopped the overly enthusiastic townspeople, and said bitterly: "There is a shortage of people, there is a shortage of people in the town." It will take many years for a few more strong men to come, and their eyes are green, and the old man can't help it. ”
The lack of people is understandable. What do you say?!
Before the mayor could speak, he was pulled to the side by a strong man with one arm.
The mayor's prestige is clearly not strong enough compared to the aspirations of the townspeople.
The strong man was a master who could run horses on his arm, he pulled away the mayor with one hand, held a huge hammer in the other, and said in a sullen voice: "Babies, let's go with my old iron, and eat three full meals." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a bad old man squeezed in the crowd, leaning over to reveal his toothless mouth, with a disgusting smell of on his body, shouting: "Don't listen to Lao Tie's fools, how tiring it is to strike iron, let's pick up dung with my old rice." ”
When Lao Tie said that when he went to strike iron, the faces of these families were already not very good-looking, and as soon as Lao Mi appeared, their faces were green.
Picking up manure, is this what they do?
God knows that they don't talk about picking dung, in this life, the land of grain reincarnation is all gilded toilets, the best incense, the wiping of brocade silk, and the support of delicate maids!
Let them pick up dung? What are you kidding?!
These townspeople may be desperately short of people, and they popped up one after another, so that Chu Liuxian and the others didn't even get the opportunity to refuse.
This is a dragon of fishing and selling fish, and that is raising pigs and killing pigs;
Here is chopping firewood and selling firewood, getting up early and greedy for darkness, and there is the shopkeeper and the second part-time cook......
Anyone who can think of all kinds of work in a normal town, who has heard of it or not, has stuffed it into the ears of Chu Liuxian and the others.
It's like, buzzing, countless flies are lingering in my ears, and my brain is about to explode.
"Stop!"
Chu Liuxian took a deep breath and shouted, covering all voices.
This domineering shout suddenly quieted down the entire Xianyuan Town, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Chu Liuxian slipped out the town mayor who had been pulled into the corner, but the image of the originally decent squire did not exist, and he looked embarrassed.
"Mayor Mare. ”
Chu Liuxian was not short of etiquette, and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
"It's simple. ”
The mayor glanced menacingly, and the townsfolk glared back without showing weakness, especially the old iron and brass bell-like eyes and casserole-sized fists, which made the mayor shrink back and withdraw his gaze.
He coughed a few times and said confidently: "If you don't work, you can't eat." ”
“......”
Chu Liuxian, Little Fat Man, Yun Xiangrong, as well as orangutans, rabbits, and kittens, the six of them looked at each other, listening to this is absolutely reasonable, but if it never matches them, how awkward it sounds.
The mayor was clear.
Either you will work, or you will starve to death in this fairy town.
After the initial stunned, except for Chu Liuxian, who showed a thoughtful expression, the rest of the people and everyone who could see their faces all had sneers on their faces.
All the before, plus the mayor's words. completely led out the hidden squirrels of these people.
The little fat man and Yun wanted to be a little better than Chu to stay in the immortal horse head, and the orangutan and the others shouted loudly, although they didn't understand what they were saying, but it was obviously not a good word, and the faces of the mayor and the others were a little unsightly.
Seeing this, Lao Tie Tongling's eyes glared, Lao Mi lifted the dung strip, took out the axe from the woodcutter, and ran the hall Xiaoer used the rag as a whip and snapped......
Seeing that the situation was about to deteriorate, Chu Liuxian's heart was racing. Although I haven't thought it clearly, I know that I can't do it if I don't act.
"Slow!"
Chu Liuxian waved his hand, except for himself, no one knew whether he was speaking to the townspeople or to the five people behind him.
Everyone's eyes were focused on him again.
Not to mention some people, it is easy to be the center of attention by nature, and in normal times, his words and deeds are easy to be listened to; His actions are even more impossible to ignore.
There is no doubt that Chu Liuxian is such a person.
He walked out slowly, past the mayor, past the bearded and glaring old iron. walked past the old rice that always exuded the smell of rice fields, and walked past the fat aunt who was wide and fat......
Walking all the way, pulling away the townspeople who were blocking the way, Chu Liuxian walked to a thin figure. The expression is decadent, but he looks at it in front of a middle-aged man with a clear face.
The decadent man held a carving knife in one of his hands. Holding the wood in one hand, he was engrossed in carving with his head down, and he didn't seem to come back to his senses until Chu Liuxian walked in front of him.
His coldness contrasted sharply with the warmth of the townspeople, and it felt as if a pile of fresh fruit was mixed with a walnut.
Chu Liuxian's actions are not eye-catching, the orangutan and the others who originally wanted to make a fuss temporarily quieted down and watched the changes, while the little fat man and the others followed Chu Liuxian's ass and got used to it, and when they saw his actions, they might be tired of it as soon as they saw him, and they would not act rashly.
After walking next to the decadent middle-aged man, Chu Liuxian didn't say a word, he looked at his carving movements very seriously, shaking his head from time to time, as if he was admiring something.
He acted like this, and the decadent middle-aged man couldn't pretend not to see it, sighed, stopped his movements, and asked, "You understand?"
"Slightly. ”
"I am short of people, you are willing to come. ”
"Dare to disobey. ”
The response was like a stream, three or two sentences, adding up to a six-word response, and Chu Liuxian finalized the "work".
Is this what to do?
The little fat man and the others were dumbfounded, and they didn't know what the situation was?
"Then wait for me. ”
After the decadent middle-aged man finished explaining, he nodded at the mayor, as if he had completed the task, and turned around and left.
What he had just carved halfway up was discarded by him and thrown to the ground.
The little fat man and the others didn't see it, the corners of Chu Liuxian's mouth twitched at the moment, if nothing else, just for the decadent middle-aged man's carving.
Chu Liuxian looked at the half-finished carving that was thrown on the ground, and wanted to ask: "Is this a wild duck, or a mandarin duck, or some other bird?" Don't tell me it's a swan......
The decadent middle-aged man has the temperament of a grandmaster, but the carving skills are not compared with Nantuo in Prison Town, even if the little fat man is lifted to carve and touch, he is better than him.
If the little fat man knew Chu Liuxian's thoughts at the moment, he would definitely shout Tianqu for a while: "Who am I trying to provoke?!"
But at this time, he didn't have the time to spare, and what kept coming to his mind was the look that Chu Liuxian gave him before he came out of the crowd.
"One world, two brothers, Brother Chu will never cheat us. ”
"It's done!"
The little fat man gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and rushed out like a wild boar.
"Master, take me. ”
The little fat man bowed directly to the ground in the most exaggerated posture, his voice was earnest, and his feelings were pitiful, making it impossible for people to refuse.
Opposite him, the fat aunt accepted this apprentice with an inexplicable gesture of emotion - making steamed buns! (To be continued......
