Xu Kui persuaded his father to no avail for a long time, but instead everyone formed a team, leaving him alone with no friends.

so bleak?

He glanced at everyone resentfully.

When drinking, he sips a good brother, and leaves him after the game. Isn't he promoted to shopkeeper, monthly salary, proud of the spring breeze, generous and fat... Is he a little fatter?Just so disgusted?
The nurses and servants caught by his resentful little eyes looked around and did not dare to look at him.

joke!You can brag about the mountains while drinking, but what is the purpose of rowing?It is to pick the largest and fullest lotus pods of lotus seeds-to earn a lot of money!
Of course, you need to find a lean, nimble companion who knows how to steer. What's the use of a fat man who doesn't do business on the ship and can't row or swim?

Xu Kui scanned around, but couldn't find anyone willing to form a team with him, so his eyes returned to his father.

Xu Yin took care of the housekeeper, and directly gave him the stick with "one" written on it, so that he could directly compete in the first group without drawing lots.

After the competition, you can be like her—sitting comfortably in the shade of a tree drinking tea, peeling lotus seeds and watching the competition!Sheng's heart is always hanging on one unfinished business, and he can't calm down to watch the game.

At this time, Wang Huyuan, who was in charge of paddling with the old steward, had already sat down at the stern, and the old steward was tremblingly stepping on the bow.

Under the weight, the small fishing boat swayed with the water surface, scaring the old housekeeper with a cry, and took the opportunity to persuade:

"Father, why don't I get on the boat and watch from the shore? I'll definitely pick the biggest and fullest lotus pod for you!"

"Go aside!"

"..." Xu Kui couldn't help muttering, "Where am I going? I want to compete too, but no one is on my team..."

"You go to Sikong! He is alone."

Hearing that there was someone who was alone and had no teammates, Xu Kui immediately regained his spirits: "Where is Sikong? Sikong—Sikong—"

The accountant, who was hiding in the room, was dragged out by Xu Kui with a helpless expression.

Except for the housekeeper and Wang Huyuan, the other groups decided the order by drawing lots.

Otherwise, everyone wants to start the competition first, lest they fall behind and the mature and plump big lotus pods will be picked off by the people in front, leaving only the young lotus pods that are not yet fully grown.

After drawing lots, the second group is Ziyuan and Hongqian, the third group is the nurses who formed a free team, the fourth group is the two good friends, and the fifth group...

Looking at the wooden stick in his hand, Xu Kui choked speechlessly: What kind of luck is this?

Except for the old man, there were only [-] groups left, and he suddenly got the last group.

"Sikong, it seems that both of us are not lucky. Don't bet with others in the future. It's easy to lose."

Sikong glanced at him: "You caught it."

"...What do you mean? Aren't we in the same group?" Xu Kui said unconvinced, "My luck is naturally our luck, what's wrong?"

"If I catch it, it won't be the result."

"..."

"Hurry up! The first group has started!"

"Wang Nuyuan rowed so steadily! It is stable and fast!"

"The butler is an old chicken thief. The girl just said that there was a lotus picking competition, and he snatched away the Wang Nuyuan."

"Daddy! Daddy, you can do it!" Xu Kui shouted on the shore, "I hope to win the lottery! I will buy you wine with silver ingots later, and keep the hairpin for your daughter-in-law!"

The old housekeeper almost staggered and fell into the water.

"Hahahaha..." Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh, butler, you picked it too fast!" Seeing that the butler picked a lotus pod after entering the lotus bush, they all felt sorry for him, "Don't you want to pick one? The half stick of incense hasn't burned yet!"

"Father, you are too impatient!" Xu Kui shook his head regretfully, "Didn't you see the huge lotus pod in the back? Oh, what a pity! Now don't expect to be the first to win the lottery!"

The old housekeeper almost fell headlong: "You are stupid! See the big ones and pick them up later, why are you shouting!"

Xu Kui: "..."

Yes!He's going to be out of the game soon.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone's cheeks were sore from laughing at the teasing of these two men.

Sure enough, Ziyuan and Hongqian in the second group picked up the huge lotus that Xu Kui had mentioned.

Xu Kui lamented endlessly: "Ziyuan, I thought that based on our friendship, you would definitely not pick this lotus pod, but in the end you did, so do you know what this is?"

"What behavior?"

"Taking advantage of the fire!"

"Pfft..."

Xu Kui stopped Ziyuan from wrangling, and the other teams also finished the competition one after another.

"Let's go!" Sikong really couldn't bear his noise, jumped on the boat first, and sat down at the stern.

"Is it because the accountant Sikong is thin? Why did he jump directly and the boat didn't move at all? I almost capsized just now when I went down like this."

Hearing the two young men whispering to each other, Xu Kui, who was going to jump onto the boat like Sikong, quickly withdrew his foot, and put it gently into the cabin instead.

As a result, one foot went down, and the other foot was still on the road. The boat shook due to the uneven force.

He didn't stand still, and fell into the water with a "plop".

"..."

"Pfft..."

The people on the shore were silent at first, then turned their faces away and sniggered.

I didn't dare to laugh too loudly, and I almost suffocated in the end.

Xu Kui held onto the side of the boat and finally stood firm in the water, wiped his face: "Girl, does this count? Can we do it all over again?"

Xu Yin couldn't help laughing: "You are not afraid of getting wet and uncomfortable, so go ahead! I have no objection!"

"It's such a hot day, it's nothing to get wet, at worst, I took off my outer shirt."

He climbed slowly onto the ship's side, took off his outer shirt, and rolled up his trousers a few times, revealing a scarlet plum blossom birthmark on his left calf.

Seeing this birthmark, Sikong's pupils shrank, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

"Oh, I saw it!" Xu Kui was about to say something to Sikong, when he raised his head and stared at his calf, scratching his head shyly, "Isn't this birthmark quite effeminate? The ones are still bright red, tsk! If I’m a girl, I’ll admit it, but I’m just a man... You say it’s good to have a bruise, right? It’s because I don’t dare to pull up my trouser legs every summer, for fear of being seen joke……"

"call out--"

The air froze instantly, and a hidden metal weapon came through the air, flying straight towards Xu Kui's front door.

The speed was so fast that Xu Kui couldn't react at all.

Sikong rose into the air, threw a stone, and with a "clang", knocked down the hidden weapon.

Afterwards, he picked up the dumbfounded Xu Kui, held him under his arm, and left the fishing boat on the water of the lotus pond.

It's just a blink of an eye.

"Shhhhh-"

The fishing boat was hit with more than a dozen hidden weapons.

The two wild birds were frightened and fluttered their wings to fly away from the lotus pond. They were both hit by hidden weapons and fell to the bow of the boat with two slaps. They died, and the blood that flowed out was black.

"Poison, poison dart!" Wang Nuyuan turned pale with shock, "There are assassins! Protect the girl!"

Sikong, who returned to the shore with Xu Kui in his arms, twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw this, thinking that the fat man should be protected.
