Chapter 23 Sentenced to Sweep the Mountain
The drizzle is falling, the bamboo forest is quiet, the wind is shaking the wipers, and the bamboo leaves are rustling, which makes the silence in the forest even more obvious. The true nature of nature is washed by rainwater, which becomes more pure and clear. The air is full of the fragrance of grass and trees, and you take a deep breath and don't want to exhale for a long time. Grass
Water drips from the eaves of the hut, forming puddles. After listening to it for a long time, your soul quietly returns to peace.
However, there were people under the thatched cottage who could not find peace. The mountain roads were muddy and muddy, which made people feel bored and helpless. This was Chang Yu's second day of sweeping the mountain.
Sweeping mountains is a way for Si Tianjian to punish students.
Si Tianjian was built at the western foot of Huangshi Mountain. Yingtian Cave, which houses the historical records of observing the sky, is on the east side of the valley surrounded by mountains. The two places are connected by a mountain trail. Because people do not often walk on the trail, it is overgrown with weeds and dense spider webs.
As a result, Si Tianjian organizes people to sweep the mountain every month and cut weeds to restore the access road. The more than ten miles of mountain road requires climbing over a ridge, then going down to the dense forest at the bottom of the valley, and bypassing a small lake to reach Yingtian Cave.
It would take a normal person an hour just to walk. The mountain sweeper had to weed step by step and restore the width of the road to allow two people to pass side by side. It would take him three to five days to complete the task. During the period of punishment, the mountain sweeper was not allowed to
Si Tianjian could only live in a thatched cottage in the mountains and had to take care of everything he needed to eat.
It was drizzling, and it looked like it was going to rain for a while. Chang Yu didn't have rain gear, so he had to weed in the rain. Fortunately, the summer heat hadn't set yet in early autumn, so he didn't feel cold, but he felt very uncomfortable being wet. The weeds were there
Summer grows wildly, and it doesn't take three or five days to cover the trail. What's more, it's been more than half a month since the last time we collectively swept the mountain. Now if we don't search carefully, we will almost lose all traces of the trail. The rusty sickle in Chang Yu's hand
Banban, it was very laborious to cut the grass, and soon his waist and arms were so tired that he felt weak. The sound of bamboo came running to ask him to have lunch, Chang Yu straightened his back and followed the sound of bamboo back to the thatched cottage.
There is only one room in the thatched cottage, and the living and dining are all in the same place. The stove is connected to the fire pit, and there is also a lame wooden table and four or five old wooden stools. Bamboo is filling the stove with rice, and Chang Yu sits on the threshold.
Listening to the sound of bamboo and looking at the sound of bamboo, I overturned the five-flavor bottle in my heart.
This new girl made me feel both love and sorrow. From the bottom of my heart, Bamboo's voice was pure and well-behaved. He washed and cooked, made the bed and boiled the water. He simply lived like a young master from a wealthy family. With her by his side,
I was willing to be by my side ten thousand times, but just because the sound of bamboo followed me to the gate of Si Tianjian the day before yesterday, I couldn't figure out this stupid account, which made Yun Dashan angry, and he punished him to the back mountain.
When I went to Kuai Da, the mountains that I had to sweep once became even more difficult, and now I have to sweep them back and forth three times. In addition, such a delicate girl is inseparable from me, which is hard to say or not. Although I like the sound of bamboo very much,
But always treat each other with courtesy, but men and women are not close to each other, and everyone's mouth is awe-inspiring. These principles are still understood by Changyu. As time goes by, several layers of his face will be peeled off by gossip.
Chang Yu had just arrived at the thatched cottage the night before yesterday. Chang Yu held a quilt in his arms and saw that there was only one room and one bed. He immediately felt worried. No matter how hard it was, two people could not sleep together. He tried his best to coax Zhu Sheng to leave.
But Zhusheng politely refused at first, and then he felt aggrieved. Chang Yu spread his hands and simply asked Zhusheng to sleep on the kang, and he put together stools and prepared to stay there for a few nights.
Although Zhusheng was well-behaved, she was very smart. She had already known this situation. She told Chang Yu to go out to do some errands, but after an hour and a half, she returned to the thatched cottage packed with small bags. Chang Yu took a look.
Immediately I couldn't laugh or cry, I saw Zhu Sheng carrying a lot of pots, pans, quilts and mattresses, which were obviously dumped from the yard of Shiliu Lane, as if he was living at home. Zhu Sheng ignored Chang Yu and was minding his own business.
After making the bed and sweeping the floor, after a while, the messy thatched cottage changed its appearance. A pile of hay was spread in the corner and a quilt was placed. Chang Yu happily sat on the bed on the floor, but was pulled away by the sound of bamboo.
He got up and said that he was sleeping on the floor and wanted Chang Yu to sleep on the bed. The two of them fought over each other, and then Chang Yu got on the kang obediently as soon as he made a loud noise from his mouth.
Changyu couldn't sleep that night. Firstly, he was not used to sleeping on a hard bed. Secondly, he slept in the same room with Bamboo Sound. He was nervous and didn't dare to make any noise. Finally, he got really anxious and quietly got up in the middle of the night.
I left the house and ran far away and farted loudly several times.
The sound of bamboo called Chang Yu, and he came back to his senses. He saw two dishes and one soup on the wooden table: a large bowl of green wild vegetable soup, a plate of fried chili, and a pot of cabbage stewed with mutton. Although the sound of bamboo could not be heard,
Cooking delicacies and braised fresh food, but the home-cooked dishes have a special taste. When Chang Yu took the first bite of the dish yesterday, he was firmly attracted by Zhu Sheng's craftsmanship. He picked up a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth.
A strong aroma of meat penetrated into the nostrils without any odor. The meat was fat, tender and juicy, not greasy or sticky, and filled the mouth with delicious food. Before I could swallow it, I picked up another piece and stuffed it into my mouth. I could see the sound of bamboo.
laugh.
This mutton was sent by Kuai Da.
At the banquet that night, Kuai Da agreed to send Chang Yu mutton. The next afternoon, he packed up the fresh mutton himself, carried it on his shoulders to Si Tianjian, and walked straight to the gate. The guard saw a butcher greasy in the distance.
Carrying a sheep on his back, he thought it was ordered by the kitchen, so he ignored Kuai Da. Kuai Da walked up to the guard and asked in a loud voice where Mr. Chang was. The guard asked him which Mr. Chang he was looking for, but Kuai Da didn't know who Chang Yu was.
The name is just a bluff saying that Mr. Chang is Mr. Chang, who else? The doorman is considered a gentleman after all, and he is used to showing off his airs. He can't see a little butcher in his eyes, and there is something dirty in his mouth. Kuai
What kind of temper is there? How can there be room in his ears for a little bit of grudge? He slapped him with his big hand like a fan and knocked the guard out several times. He couldn't get up, but he couldn't stop talking.
When Kuai Da heard this, all the officials and teachers in the courtyard ran out. When Kuai Da saw a dozen people surrounding him, he even asked where Master Chang was. However, when everyone saw the guard lying on the ground, they all condemned Kuai Da.
The rough man turned his head in anger, threw the sheep to the ground, took two steps forward and punched each sheep. In the blink of an eye, there was no one left standing in the yard except himself.
The students hiding in the room saw that something was not going well and hurried to the backyard to report the news to Yun Dashan. At this time, Ni Ziping had already taken the Weidao people to Yingtian Cave first. Yun Dashan was scolding Chang Yu in the room, and there were no tears in the sound of bamboo.
He waited anxiously in the corner outside the house with his face glowing. As soon as the student told him what happened in the front yard, the angry waves that had just slowed down in Yun Dashan surged again, and he followed the reported students to the front yard with long strides. He saw a black tower standing in front of him.
In the middle of it, the whole courtyard was in a mess, and everyone simply lay down unable to get up after being beaten. They were beaten down again when they got scared.
Yun Dashan shouted harshly, and Kuai Dadou lost his temper. He wanted to beat Yun Dashan regardless of the government. Fortunately, Chang Yu ran out and yelled to stop. Kuai Dadou raised his hands in the air and saw the real owner at a glance.
The fierce face instantly grinned, saying that it would be better to use this trick, and Chang Yu came out as soon as he did it.
Chang Yu's head was about to explode. The sound of bamboo followed him like a shadow. He had already punished Yundashan by sweeping the mountain. How could he have thought that Kuai Dazhen would come to give him mutton and pick it at such a juncture? The most terrible thing was how could he
Many officials and teachers were beaten all over the ground, and their hammer-like fists almost hit Yun Dashan's head. Chang Yu ran to Kuai Da, glanced at the people lying on the ground with angry eyes, and pulled him
Kuai Da wanted to go out, but Chang Yu couldn't pull Kuai Da away. He first picked up the sheep covered in dust. Chang Yu had a bunch of them in his hands. Chang Yu couldn't hold any of them, and the sheep fell to the ground again.
Kuai Da joked that Chang Yu couldn't restrain a sheep with his hands, and then pointed at the people lying on the ground, warning them not to bully Chang Yu and to treat him well, otherwise they would get beaten up again. After saying this, he turned around and left, walking a few steps away.
When he turned around, the few people who had just wanted to get up lay down again. Kuai Dachang grinned at Chang Yu and said that he would come to him for a drink another day.
The evil spirit walked away, leaving Chang Yu to face the questioning of everyone. Everyone turned all their anger at being beaten for no reason into complaints and spread it on Chang Yu. Yun Dashan was even more annoyed, pointing at Chang Yu's nose, and sweeping the mountain
The penalty was three times.
Chewing the tender mutton in his mouth, and then picking up a chopstick of green chili. Although he was a little worried, he couldn't resist the wonderful food and drink. Chang Yu is an open-minded person, but he is also young, and he can't bear to worry about it. It's delicious.
With the beauty by his side, his worries had already been put aside. He turned around and saw that Bamboo Sound was just looking at him eating without moving his chopsticks, so he asked, "Why don't you eat?"
Zhusheng smiled sweetly: "Brother, please eat first, I'm not hungry."
"You're not hungry yet, but I can hear your stomach growling!" Chang Yu gave Zhusheng a piece of meat, "We agreed, we are brothers and sisters, not master and servant. If you want to eat, we can eat together, or I won't eat either.
." After saying that, he put down his chopsticks.
Zhu Sheng quickly waved his hand and picked up the bowl himself, "I'll eat it, I'll eat it, brother, let's eat it too!"
Chang Yu smiled at the sound of bamboo, "This is my good sister."
Zhu Sheng took a mouthful of rice and frowned, "The food is not delicious, brother, don't be surprised."
"What's not delicious about it? This is the most delicious dish I've ever eaten!"
Chang Yu praised a little too much, but Zhu Sheng still narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Brother knows how to praise me, but don't you know that I really work hard to protect my brother from gaining three pounds a month, but I don't have access to anything here. The materials
It’s too bad, so I can only make it like this. My brother will make do with it until he’s full. I’ll go back to the city in the afternoon, buy some good ingredients, and prepare a few dishes. I’ll also make a pot of wine and let’s have a few drinks.
.”
Chang Yu stuffed another piece of meat and mumbled, "Can you still drink?"
"Who doesn't know how to drink? You really look down on people!"
An evil thought flashed in Chang Yu's mind, and then he secretly cursed himself for being dirty, so he changed his mouth and said, "Do you have money to buy groceries? I don't have any with me."
"We have more than a dozen gold bars at home. How can we eat them? Brother, you don't have to worry!"
"Our family" makes Chang Yu feel warm in his heart. Ever since he left his parents and went north, he hasn't had the feeling of home for a long time. Thinking about how good fortune has turned out for him, he has met many noble people. For the rest of his life, he will eat and drink endlessly just from those gold bars. The girl next to him is pretty and cute.
People, when their career is stable, find someone to act as a matchmaker, go home and take their parents to Pomegranate Lane for retirement, and enjoy life leisurely. This beautiful little life scene repeatedly appeared in Chang Yu's mind.
Zhusheng from the side looked at Chang Yu talking and started to giggle, and asked: "Brother, what do you want? Let's eat first!"
Chang Yu came back to his senses, looked at the sound of bamboo, and felt proud in his heart. "My sister treats me so well, can take care of me, and can cook such good food. Boss Zhou actually asked you to be my maid. You are really overqualified."
Chang Yu's overtones could not be heard in the bamboo voice, but he just said: "You can't blame the eldest sister. The sisters in Linzhenfang are really versatile. I am young and can only do some chores, but don't worry, brother, I know a lot more."
Well, I will take out everything from now on and my brother will be shocked."
Chang Yu's test failed, so he followed Zhu Sheng's words and asked, "Really? What else do you want?"
Zhu Sheng's spiritual eyes turned, and he said to Chang Yu in a sly manner: "I know how to wash feet!"
Chang Yu choked with a mouthful of rice, snorted all over the table, and burst into tears. He thought to himself that this little girl looked so shy, but she didn't expect to be so naughty. How could she be so naughty after just two days of dating?
