The villain is being forced to whitewash again

The window is open, and a refreshing breeze comes in. There is a smell of sweet-scented osmanthus, crape myrtle, okra, and earth. There is no large area of ​​​​water vapor formed due to too much heat. The floor is still as dry as last night. It has just been paved for a few days The brown wooden boards are smooth without sticking to the feet, and have a unique and reassuring sense of solidity.

Qin Shi carefully wiped a gold ring with a dyed cloth. The scorching heat had turned a page, and the cicadas that always screamed had disappeared. The images were all phantoms, only the water in the tank still looked cool and cool. , Occasionally, there are birds grabbing plankton on the surface on the edge, and there are waves of collisions in circles.

The smooth surface of the gold ring can reflect a blurry figure. It looks very ordinary, not much different from the gold and silver jewelry worn on the neck, wrist, and earlobe. The weight is neither light nor heavy, which is what most people think it should be. , but just like that, Qin Shi dawdled with his fingers for a long time.

He always had a feeling that this thing that fell from the unknown gambler was very unusual, but he couldn't figure out where it was unusual and how to test it out.

Mysteries surround me for a long time and cannot be dissipated. That lord... he murmured in his heart, holding this golden ring tightly in his hand. The strange power is given by that person, that person really has ulterior motives, deliberately using a set of fallacies to brainwash others into doing evil, I am afraid he is a more dangerous person than imagined, but why instruct others to collect souls?What exactly are you going to do...

As he was contemplating, something scratched at his feet suddenly. He turned his head and looked down. The long-haired hazel civet cat stared at him dissatisfied with its yellow eyes, as if displeased with his neglect.

"What's wrong?" He stretched out his hand to caress the slightly knotted long hair, and took a little space to distract himself. How nutritious it is. Yesterday, he repaired most of it with scissors with extreme difficulty like crazy resistance. Hanging color, and today it has returned to the same old way. Is it because of the variety?

He wanted to rub his chin familiarly, but in the next second, his hand was bitten by an angry mouth. After a while, he came back again, this time not empty-handed, but with a wooden basin as wide as a head in his mouth, dragged it abruptly and threw it on the ground in front of him, making obvious clacking noises, and stared at him uncomfortably.

"..." After a total of eight seconds of silence, he got up from his chair and went outside, came back again, squatted down and poured a basin full of pork and dried fish mixed with other grainy food by the way, and pushed it tentatively. In front of it, it stood so tall with its fluffy chest, explaining what it means to be as cold and noble as a mountain, completely ignoring the pot of food on the ground in front of it, he sighed dumbfoundedly, "Okay, I Impressed."

Pick up a pot full of food from the ground, walk across the threshold to the outside yard, there is a big and beautiful sweet-scented osmanthus tree beside the fence, with yellow flowers the size of rice grains blooming between the pointed leaves at both ends, densely clustered in clusters, Under the slanting sunlight, it looks like broken gold dazzling, embellished with a lingering sweet fragrance that can be smelled from a distance.

Take the broom and move the squishy yellow petals aside, put the wooden basin full of pork and dried fish mixed with other grainy food by the way, fill up the water in the tank, dip your fingers in some sprinkles Bringing a little coolness on the slightly dry loess, after a series of preparations, I squatted on the ground and watched the civet cat come over with restraint and pride. I observed the surrounding scenery from left to right, and then lowered my head to enjoy lunch after confirming that it was suitable for eating.

"I really picked up an ancestor and came back to serve." He rubbed the big fluffy tail that swayed from side to side, and complained moaningly, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly unconsciously, and the soft wind blew his silver-white tail up. The ends of her hair were tied into small curls.

Speaking of which, a few days have passed since the first month of the month, and he thought absently that it was time to go to the town to see the shop that he cooperated with.

To be on the safe side, I gave up the black top and bottom that I often wear, and a simple and plain style that is slightly dark blue. It looks like I am holding a fish in my hand, and will stay for a long time next to the tofu stall. He took out a human face mask, which was not worn before, and the probability of being exposed first was so high that he wondered if the people around him had their own clairvoyance.

After a long period of pondering and drawing, after a few days and nights of transformation, it became much more refined, and the cheeks on both sides were painted with special paint to make them look thinner. Really smooth silvery white hair.

Not daring to mess with it too casually, he drew a few times with an eyebrow pencil in front of the bronze mirror, and then took a powder cream and rubbed it evenly on the fair skin that could not be covered by clothes. The hour-long disguise was finally officially completed. Turning left and right with satisfaction, the impression of ordinary people who are malnourished and from poor families is perfectly released.

I almost forgot, I went out to the vegetable garden and squatted down, rubbed a handful of soil on my hands, stood up and patted casually on my clothes, so that there would be no flaws.

Lock the door, put a few food and water bags in the package and plan to go out for a long trip, don't use your cultivation but walk barefoot, this is a real long trip, you should use less cultivation, silently Thinking carefully, I am too used to it, but it is easy to reveal my flaws in daily life.

He didn't close the door of the barn. He knew that civet cat was used to sleeping there, even if it was left open in broad daylight, none of them would dare to run in and be beaten by it's hair-destroying fur. Its fluffy head, which was full of food and sleepy, was pawed with disdain as a matter of course, so it had no choice but to smile and not speak.

In fact, the distance is not very long. I walked halfway and ran into an ox cart that happened to pass by.

The cowman has a long beard but it is not messy. It can be seen that he takes good care of it. There is a heavy hay behind the cart. To be precise, it is a box that does not know what is under the hay.

The cow husband likes to talk very much. Qin Shi was walking by, and he sat in the bullock cart and chatted about some trivial things: how many calves were born this year, the back hurts from mowing the grass, how soft the bed can save No, maybe I should find some young and strong helpers, and complain about how much this year's tax has increased.

He didn't care whether the person listening to the story nodded or talked. He asked a few words about where the little brother lived and what he did. Plump pink peaches with a bit of prickly white fluff but a fresh smell.

The sun was shining brightly above his head, and the wind was blowing cool and refreshing. He was lying in the haystack behind him, and continued to listen to the gossip of the cowboy in front of him. Before he knew it, he wanted to close his eyes and take a small doze. The voice in the ear is getting farther and farther until it is blurred in the silence.

"Hey, little brother, the place you want to go is here." His eyes opened slowly, the sun was so bright that it hurt his eyes, he sat up from the haystack with a strong smell of sun-dried grains, his back was a little stiff, Leaning against those boxy boxes is still too awkward.

After saying a few words of thanks, the cow husband couldn't help laughing, and patted his back, which was slightly stiff because of the bad sleeping place. This slap was as powerful as a falling willow tree and almost made him fall to the ground without any defense. Before leaving, he said one more thing, if he didn't mind, he could go to his cattle farm to see if there was any suitable job, and he didn't force him to stay, so he walked away with a bullock cart with a smile.

He packed his clothes for a while and then walked a few steps. He always felt that there was something in his arms. When he touched it, it turned out to be a piece of silver. Turn around, but the ox cart pulling the box is no longer visible, green grass and trees grow lushly on both sides, purple and white sheep's hooves and yellowish golden camellia grow in it, the smell is very strong, but it covers Can't help the fragrance of fresh peaches in my arms, pink, plump and lovely.

He sighed helplessly, he had to put the money away first, and return it when he meets the cowboy someday.

The town is still the same, although it is very good in the county, all aspects are taken care of, to ensure that you will not be dizzy in the face of miscellaneous shops when you are inside because the thief stole your wallet to chase after it, but you have seen the county. In other towns, almost no one can find out that there is something worth talking about besides cleanliness and tidiness.

He walked to the spice shop between the cloth shop on the left and the pawn shop on the right. The clerk was pushing an uncovered wooden drawer on a wooden ladder into the empty cabinet by the wall, with a book under his arm. .

I haven't seen this person before, and he looks very young, probably newly recruited by the boss. He is white and clean without any feeling of working in the fields. The most fashionable magnolia pattern is sewn on the sleeves, and a matching pattern is worn on the waist. Beaded jade, but it is obviously a defective product that cannot be put on the table. The germ quality of the jade material is extremely poor, and the transparency makes the insiders too lazy to glance at it. There will be no one who is greedy for cheap to pick up.

He has seen at least thirteen people with this kind of fashion matching elements in the short time on the street before. Forgive him for lacking a keen sense of fashion. He really can't understand the aesthetic difference between the auspicious cloud pattern and the magnolia pattern.

Hearing the footsteps caused by someone walking into the store, the clerk turned his head. He wanted to greet the customer with a smile and say what the customer needed, but when he saw Qin Shi was dressed plain and simple, with dry and forked hair, he looked like he had just caught a fish. The look of the family preparing to go to work in the fields, coupled with the pink color of the fruit protruding from the seam while holding the flat and thin luggage, the sentence that the warmly entertained guests need something is choked out in the throat, cut, he is boring He scoffed, it turned out to be a poor ghost.

He ignored it, turned his head on the ladder and continued to count the number of empty wooden boxes that originally contained spices. Anyway, this kind of person came in just to look at it casually and would not buy it.

The spices in their house are sold by a big family, and those poor ghosts who have to shop around for every vegetable will walk away in a hurry when they come to their shop door, as if they will clutch their chests and have a myocardial infarction just by looking at the price. Thinking of this, I am very impatient. It is really annoying to come in and wander around without buying.

Even though the clerk pretended not to notice and acted very rude, Qin Shi was not angry. There were two chairs in the store. He put his luggage on the small table, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea, but the tea was a bit weak Ah, although the taste is much worse than usual, but at least we should be considerate when we are in someone else's territory. Drinking tea leisurely and looking at the ledger brought here is as natural as if we were at our own home.

The clerk glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and actually sat down on the chair gracefully, and drank their tea, which was prepared for the manager in charge of purchasing in the rich and powerful mansion, how could he be so cheeky, Frowning angrily, he didn't even have the mood to count the numbers, so he thumped down the ladder.

Standing in front of him, "What's the matter?" the man asked, but his tone of voice was aggressive, as if to say, "Do you know what you are doing?!"

"I'm looking for the boss." Not being frightened, he didn't even move the cup in his hand. He just closed the book and put it aside, mainly because he was worried that the other party would pour tea on it, but the ink on the paper would If it's pasted, it won't come back even in the sun.

Could it be that a relative of the boss who lives in a remote area has come to seek refuge?The buddy saw that he didn't jump up from the chair immediately in fear, shrunk to the wall and his shoulders collapsed. Instead, his face was so plain and weird. It's impossible. The boss never said that he had any poor relatives. This guy must want to A liar who wants to lie about something, "The boss is not here."

"When does he come back?"

"I don't know." The guy said in a bad temper, trying to use such a bad tone to blast this person who seems to have a problem with his mind, but obviously, his countermeasure failed.

"Then I'll wait here until he comes back." After finishing speaking, he went to do small things to pass the time.

"You...!" The clerk was very angry, but he couldn't understand it clearly. If such a brash-skinned scumbag broke out, he might roll all over the floor or swear outside. Their store valued their reputation the most. I know, even if it's not their fault, it will affect the future business, so I can only endure it, go back to the counter, pick up the abacus and slap it on it to vent my anger, seeing Qin Shi still ignore it, I can't help being even more angry.

Half an hour later, a man walked in from outside the gate. He had a chubby figure, his fingers were as fat as carrots, he spoke loudly, but his eyes were bare, and he was dressed imposingly but black and purple. Too ostentatious, he glanced at Qin Shi when he came in, and was talking to the buddy about the type of recent purchases, telling the buddy that a certain horse in a certain racecourse had amazing explosive power and endurance, and he bought its winning, relying on this to make money in horse betting How much money was paid, the man asked enviously and curiously how to distinguish a good horse from an ordinary horse, then collected the ticket, stamped him a receipt and returned it.

He took away the stamped receipt, and didn't even throw a glance at Qin Shi during the period, as if it was an air that didn't exist.

It was more than two o'clock when the sun slanted a little in the middle, and the guy put all the paper items on the counter aside.

After a while, another person came in, he ran in, his forehead was covered with sweat, he was holding a high food box in his hand, and carefully placed it on the counter as if it was full of red and green gems And Fei Cui, took the money from the buddy and put it in his arms, carried yesterday's food box and ran out again.

Opening the lid of the food box, the man took out a bowl of rice, a plate of pork slices in sauce, a plate of vegetable and radish soup, an apple, and a small packet of three shortbread wrapped in paper.

He quite proudly put those dishes on the table with a rattling sound, the smell of food was very attractive, and he felt that Qin Shi must be very hungry, as if he hadn't eaten for a few days, his eyes glanced this way from time to time For a moment, thinking about it this way, the food tastes even more delicious.

Qin Shi did move, but he didn't glance this way from time to time hungry, but because he had finally re-checked the ledger. He rubbed his temples, and the soreness in his eyes temporarily eased a lot. Not everyone can do a good job in business.

The bitter taste of the tea has not dissipated in his mouth, and it is more obvious at this moment. He remembered a few peaches given by the cow husband, took them out, and the white fluff was gently rubbed away by his fingers. It was light and not violent. The strength is just right, and ordinary people can't see the doorway inside.

The pink, plump peaches are so juicy that the water flows out after a bite. The sweet taste is so strong that it almost occupies the mouth. The bitterness of the original tea leaves can no longer be found. It is delicious, and I did not expect it to be so delicious.

Probably because he ate so well, the food in the buddy's mouth was tasteless, and he frowned. Thinking about his proud behavior before, it was like chewing wax. After Qin Shi finished eating the peaches, his hands were full of sticky juice. It smelled sweet, took the handkerchief that he carried with him to wipe his hands, and heard a bang, the clerk dropped his chopsticks and came over aggressively and stood in front of him, his eyes staring like copper bells.

"How long are you going to stay here so shamelessly! Don't you think it's embarrassing?"

Finally angry, Qin Shi raised his eyebrows, and even though he was answering seriously, he still found it a little funny, "I have to wait until your boss comes back."

"Let me tell you so plainly, our boss doesn't have any poor relatives or friends, and you won't get any money if you keep messing around." The man showed a disgusted expression, and fanned the air. "It's like a farmer's smell. I don't know how to wear good clothes when I come to Pengci. The mud on my body stains the chairs, tables, and the ground everywhere. It's disgusting. I warn you to get out of here, or you will die now." Tell someone to beat you out with sticks!"

Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders, "Since that's the case, please tell him a word. I'll come back in the afternoon six days later. Don't be empty again like this time. My patience is not particularly good."

"Get out of here quickly, our boss won't accept such a nonsense poor man like you, get out of here quickly." The man pushed him out impatiently, and suddenly there was a doubtful voice from outside the gate, "It's so noisy, what the hell? What happened?"

The clerk immediately complained angrily, "Boss, it's him, this poor guy who stays here with a smug face wants to touch our shop, and I'm trying to find a way to drive him out!"

Hearing this, the boss became angry, picked up the willow sticks placed by the store door, and walked towards them with his sleeves rolled up, "Who dares to touch porcelain? Our store wants to cheat money. I think it's two things." You have too many legs, don't you see if I don't beat you to death..."

With a slap, the willow stick fell from his hand to the ground, and the boss was dumbfounded, "Brother Goudan, you...why are you here?"

"I wanted to chat with you about the latest business, but I couldn't make time for things last month and missed the beginning of the month, so I came here today to make up for it." Qin Shi held up the ledger in the blue cover, gently With a half-smile, "You won't welcome me, right?"

"How is it possible? I'm looking forward to it with joy and it's too late. How can I not welcome you." The boss rubbed his hands with a smile.

"Then..." Qin Shi's eyes fell on the willow sticks on the ground.

Noticing the staring eyes, the boss awkwardly kicked it into an invisible corner, "This... this is a misunderstanding, brat! Why do you dare to mess with our big boss? If he is unhappy and withdraws his investment , our other business is all gone, and only this poor little store is left, and you are still cursing the poor, you are so courageous! See if I don't beat you to death!"

"Boss, please forgive me, I... how would I know." The guy was crying in his heart, how could he have imagined that the person dressed so poorly was actually the owner of the shop that was said to have funded their store, and besides, the name that was so earthy. No match.

In fact, I also know that their spice shop is able to operate steadily because of another business. Otherwise, how could it be possible to make a steady profit every month with such a high price?

"You still dare to quibble, if you don't kill you, a stinky brat who has not accomplished enough and has more than failed, I will write my name, Qian Guanghan, upside down!" He didn't stop them, just watched them fleeing and scurrying around with a smile on the corners of their mouths, making a mess like a cat catching a mouse.

Seeing that the pretentious farce was almost over, he said: "Okay, Boss Qian, let's talk about something serious, I've already wasted a lot of time."

"Of course." Qian Guanghan wiped the hot sweat from his forehead with a smile, and heaved a sigh of relief. He was scared to death just now. He thought that if he really wanted to lose such a big investor, if the nightmare came true, he would be afraid. It was too late to sit on the ground and cry, and said to the guy in a bad tone: "Hurry up and prepare some snacks for us, it will be an eyesore."

"Yes, yes, I will go right away!" The man hurriedly fled.

Qian Guanghan sat down and poured tea for Qin Shi himself on the chair on the other side, "Brother Goudan, where do you want to get to know first?"
