[Comprehensive] The leader's knot occurs in this life

The heavy rain in deep winter is bleak and cold, accompanied by strong winds, it can be cold to the bones.No one wanted to stay outside at a time like this and do the cleaning. In fact, the errands of the handyman had their own rotations, and my turn was a very leisurely one. It was chopping wood and sorting it out to a dry place.But Guanshi Liu told me very clearly that I had to go outside. Elder Wang’s yard was low-lying and the drainage was not smooth. .

I was a little silly, and Guanshi Liu didn't leave after he finished speaking, but hinted at me with a meaningful look in his eyes.But I could only smile bitterly. He waited for a while, saw that I didn't respond, his face flushed, and he left angrily, and warned me that if I didn't get it right, I would deduct all my monthly payment for the next month.

I sighed, he must think I'm a bad person, but I'm really out of money.The thin monkey came over worried, and whispered in my ear: "Did you offend Zhu Han? Aren't you all good before?"

"What? Is he messing with me?" I squinted my eyes.

"Originally it's his turn to be with Niu San, what do you think?" Skinny Monkey shook his head, "You'd better be careful, I heard that he has a lot of friendship with the chief guards in the outer court, I'm afraid he will soon We are going to get ahead, we can't afford to blame."

My eyes cooled down, and I glanced at Zhu Han. He was sitting on the edge of the charcoal basin with his legs crossed, eating melon seeds, looking very uncomfortable.

It seems that after he counted me on the day of the lottery, I never spoke to him again.At first he would avoid me, maybe thinking that I would retaliate against him, and I planned to beat him up, but then I was so absorbed in the Eastern food that I forgot about him.So he saw that I was not moving, and that day I came back with a wound on my neck and blood on my clothes, and my mind was alive again.

The injury on my neck didn't heal until yesterday, and when I came back that day, I was still in a mess—my body was covered in blood from Dongfang's vomit.So the people in the whole yard mistakenly thought that I had provoked the leader's anger, and they were beaten to death.It seems that they are right to think so, so they don't bother to argue.Also, I don't want people to know that something went wrong with Dongfang's practice.

But I didn't expect that this would be Zhu Han's reason to plot against me again.Also, who dares to support someone who has offended the leader?After all, it is the life of a handyman.Besides, he and I have already broken each other, since there is no possibility of intersecting, so what if we step on a few more feet?Who would stand up for a helpless handyman?

Zhu Han noticed that I was looking at him, raised his eyebrows provocatively at me, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and chewed them.That malicious look seemed to lift his foot and crush my face hard.I clenched my fists, and my heart was full of anger, but I also knew that now I was no longer the Chief Manager Yang who could pretend to be powerful, and now I had no choice but to endure.

So I just looked at him and looked at him without saying a word. My eyes were definitely not friendly. Soon, Zhu Han's face turned blue and he turned his head. He was unwilling but dared not use such presumptuous eyes again look at me.

I put on my coir raincoat and bamboo hat with a cold face, picked up the iron hook behind the door, and walked into the rain alone.

The dark clouds rolled up, the sky was as dark as night, and the heavy rain was pouring, crackling on the bamboo hat. I hunched over and walked hard in the squally rain, my whole body was soaked.

I soaked in the stinky ditch for an hour, my legs were frozen and I couldn't even lift them up. I finally crawled out, and I couldn't even stand up after crawling out. I could only lie on my back like a bedbug. on the ground.

After wriggling stiffly for a long time, the cotton-padded clothes were all worn out, and I slowly got up and limped back to the courtyard.

When I came back, Dongfang Bubai’s food had been delivered for a long time, and the sky was dark and I couldn’t tell the time. He was kicked into the rainstorm.

When walking back to the mountain, Zhu Han was leaning against the door frame and looking at me with a mocking smile on his lips.I ignored him, how could I not know who was telling lies behind Guanshi Liu's back?He just wanted me to deliver food in a stinky and dirty body. He estimated that I would be slapped off the cliff by the extremely clean Dongfang Bubai just as soon as I walked into the stone room.

After all, we usually work and don't even dare to smell a little sweat.

I didn't want to die at all, so when I got to the back mangosteen forest, I stripped myself naked.Then he took a few deep breaths and jumped into the stream with thin ice.How cold it was, I can't describe it at all, almost the moment I jumped into the water, my whole body was frozen blue, and the hands that had been born with chilblains were directly split open and bloody.I washed myself hastily, not daring to wear the stinky cotton-padded clothes, but only put on a fairly clean undershirt, and entered the stone room so wet.

Zhu Hanliao was right. The moment I stepped into the stone room, Dongfang Bubai noticed something strange about me.Water was dripping from my body, my steps were sloppy, my breathing was heavy and short, and I couldn't even utter a sentence.

"Yang Lianting? What's wrong with you?"

Following the sound came an upward palm wind, and the hanging bamboo curtain was stirred up and rolled up.

Seeing my appearance clearly, Dongfang Bubai was slightly surprised.

I scratched my head in embarrassment, and pulled the corners of my mouth dryly, "Master, I...is too dirty." After a pause, I gently put down the food box that I had been hiding in my arms, "I still won't come in... "

"Are you going to let me go out to get it by myself?" Dongfang Bubai narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in an unhappy tone, "Get out!"

I sighed, and had no choice but to wring out the clothes with my unbendable fingers, but my hands were shaking too much. I was a little anxious, and I was gritting my teeth to compete with myself, when I heard the cold and hard voice of the leader: "On the wall behind you, the third stone from the left can be opened, and there are clothes inside, you can put them on."

After finishing speaking, with a "swish", the bamboo curtain was hit by the silver needle and fell down again.

I twisted my sleeves and stayed there for a while, then pinched myself, ah, it hurt so much, I hurriedly bent over: "Thanks... Thank you, Hierarch!"

According to Dongfang Bubai's instructions, I opened the secret pavilion, and there were several pieces of brand new clothes stacked neatly inside. Standing there, my breathing was inexplicably short of breath.Taking a deep breath, I slowly raised my hand to caress the soft and slippery brocade material. My trembling fingertips brushed over the intricate and intricate patterns, feeling a little itchy.

I know that Dongfang did it himself. Embroidery is a practice for him, but he doesn't often make clothes.But after I was with him, for so many years, every stitch and thread on my body came from his hands.

Carefully holding up a blue gown, I buried my face in it and took a deep breath. For a moment, the tip of my nose was filled with the familiar cool rosin, as if I was hugging the person in my memory, and my eyes couldn't help feeling a little hot.

"Yang Lianting, what are you dawdling about? Do you want to starve me to death?"

I suddenly came back to my senses, hurriedly changed my clothes, and combed my hair before picking up the food box and entering the inner room.

Dongfang Bubai was originally sitting on the stone bed with a worried expression on his face, when he saw my new look, he raised his eyebrows: "It's still pleasing to the eye."

I quickly flattered: "It's the leader's clothes."

Dongfang Bubai snorted.

I smirked a few times, lowered my head and arranged the meals in the food box one by one, setting up most of the table, and then I remembered—unfortunately, I forgot to open a small stove for the leader!

The movements of my hands froze, and I quickly scanned the dishes on the table, looking for a chance to save them.My eyes fell on the braised pork and steamed duck, I quickly picked out the fatty duck skin, and then used chopsticks to pick out the tenderest meat on the belly of the duck, dipped the oil in the soup, and dipped slices of it in the sauce of braised pork Juice, especially in a small saucer.

"I'm still a group of people in the kitchen who have become enlightened." Dongfang Bubai floated to my side at some point, propped his chin, and watched me prepare vegetables for him thoughtfully, "It turns out that these days are all your ideas... ..." Before he finished speaking, his tone suddenly changed, "What happened to your hand?"

I turned my head and saw that he was staring at my bloody hand that was swollen like a pig's trotter.

"Oh, it's always like this when working in winter, it's okay." I said casually, offering chopsticks with both hands, "Master, please use."

Dongfang Bubai took it with a frown, but still looked at my hand.I looked at his unhappy face, afraid that he would feel ugly and disgusted, and would not be able to eat, so I pulled the sleeve to cover it and carried it behind my back.

The delicate and gorgeous clothing covered the red, swollen and rough back of the hand, which did not match no matter how you looked at it.

He looked away slowly, but still frowned as he ate.

After he put down his chopsticks, I came in to pack up the leftovers and prepared to leave, but he suddenly threw me a white porcelain bottle and said, "Take medicine three times in the morning, afternoon and evening, don't touch the water."

I froze for a moment.

On the way back, I walked very slowly. Firstly, I was afraid that the rain would splash the clothes Dongfangshou gave me, and secondly, I tried to suppress my steps so that I would not be so excited. But no matter how I endured it, I still couldn't help being happy, so I had to take out the small bottle from my arms over and over again, and rubbed it carefully against my chest with my two pig's trotters, no matter how much I looked at it, I couldn't get enough of it.

This is what the East gave me, what the East gave me.I hum a song.

I even remember that when I took it, I felt the warmth of Dongfang left on the bottle. That little bit of residual warmth burned all the way from my palm to the bottom of my heart, and then my heart was like boiling tea, gurgling and running.

As soon as I entered the yard, I quickly restrained my expression.The room was very hot and lively, everyone was there, seeing me coming in, with different expressions, Niu San spoke first.He said "Yo" maliciously: "Isn't this Yang Lianting? Why did you go to the back mountain and limped in the aisle? Could it be that the leader broke his leg? Oh, look at this cold, really Pitiful--"

Zhu Han didn't speak, leaned on one side, smiled lightly, as if he was ready to watch a good show.

But the thin monkey rushed over immediately, held my shoulder to look up and down, and asked nervously: "A Yang, are your legs okay? The leader didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

I looked at the thin monkey, then at Zhu Han and Niu San, and said nothing, but raised my hand to take off the bamboo hat and the coir raincoat wrapped around me.When I did this action, I deliberately did it slowly. When the splendid costume I was wearing was revealed, I clearly heard the sound of the thin monkey gasping for air, and the room fell silent for a moment.

I focused on admiring Zhu Han's extremely ugly face, which was very refreshing.

"My grandma! Ah Yang! Is this a reward from the leader? This dress is so beautiful," the skinny monkey touched me up and down excitedly, "What kind of material is this, satin? It feels so comfortable It's so slippery that a fly would break its leg! Look at the embroiderer, it's amazing, the embroiderers in the palace don't have this skill, tsk tsk..."

That is, how can the craftsmanship of the East be bad?Although I was proud of myself, I still knew how to measure it, so I pretended not to care and patted him: "Okay, okay, make a fuss, isn't it just a piece of clothing!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as my words came out, Zhu Han's face was completely blackened.

Later, Skinny Monkey told me that when I said this, my face looked particularly unworthy of a beating, but I said it lightly, my mouth almost didn't reach the ears, and I smiled like a big fool.
