Zhao Yao didn't wake up until four quarters after the hour.
"Yao Yao, Li Zheng wants to recommend someone to you."
Zhao Yao was eating snacks. When he heard Liang Run's words, he stopped what he was doing and asked curiously: "Who is it?" Liang Run bought the snacks from the snack shop early this morning. Because he would be staying in Dahua Village for the past two days, Liang Run was worried that his precious nephew would not have snacks to eat, so he bought a lot of them.
"A ten-year-old child." Liang Run added with a smile, "A very strong child."
When Zhao Yao heard this, his eyes suddenly shone with interest. He hurriedly asked: "How strong can you be?"
Liang Run did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you still remember the two stone lions in front of Li Zheng's house?"
Zhao Yao blinked and said, "Remember." He said, a look of shock suddenly appeared on his face, "Second uncle, don't you say that the ten-year-old child recommended by Li Zheng can lift the two stone lions at the door?" If this is the case, is the ten-year-old child recommended by Rizheng still a human being?
Liang Run laughed and said: "You can't lift two stone lions at once, but he can lift one stone lion."
Zhao Yao opened his mouth in surprise and asked in disbelief: "Is it true?"
"Really, I saw him lift a stone lion easily with my own eyes." When Liang Run came to Dahua Village before, Li Zheng brought Er Gou to see him and asked his second uncle to perform a stone lion lifting for him. At that time, he was shocked when he saw it. He couldn't believe that a ten-year-old child could lift a stone lion easily. "This kid is very good at eating. He can eat more than a dozen bowls of rice in one meal."
"Anyone with strong strength can eat it. He can lift a stone lion. It's normal to eat more than a dozen bowls of rice in one meal." Zhao Yao has never seen a real strong man, so he hurriedly asked, "Where is he?"
Liang Run knew that Zhao Yao was interested in Ergou, "I'll bring him here."
After a moment, Zhao Yao saw Liang Run bringing a tall man of fifteen or sixteen years old in. He immediately felt doubtful in his heart: Didn't the second uncle refer to a ten-year-old child? This man looked like an adult, how could he look like a ten-year-old? Year old child?
Li Zheng also walked in.
As soon as Ergou saw Zhao Yao, he immediately knelt down towards him with a pop.
When his tall body knelt down, Zhao Yao felt the ground tremble.
With a bang, Ergou kowtowed hard to Zhao Yao.
Zhao Yao felt a headache when he heard the loud kowtow sound.
Boom, the two dogs kowtowed heavily to Zhao Yao twice again, causing the ground to shake slightly.
Zhao Yao was stunned by Ergou's sudden movement and forgot to stop him from kowtowing for a moment.
After Ergou kowtowed three times, he said awkwardly: "I am very strong." Then he stopped.
Satomasa, who was standing behind Ergou, saw him saying this. The smile on his face froze and he looked at Ergou in disbelief.
Li Zheng taught Er Gou to say a lot of nice things before, but he didn't expect that Er Gou only said this sentence when he saw Zhao Yao.
Zhao Yao came back to his senses and saw that there were no wounds or bruises on Ergou's forehead. He thought to himself, how hard this man's forehead was, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Li Zhengzheng kicked Ergou and reminded him: "Keep talking."
Ergou turned around and looked at Li Zheng with a confused and innocent face: "What did you say?"
Li Zheng: "..." Bai Jiao said.
Zhao Yao looked at Ergou, and then he realized that Ergou looked very...full of flesh, with small eyes, a big nose, a big mouth, and dark skin.
So ugly!
Also, a pair of small eyes full of clear stupidity!
"Young Master, Ergou is very strong and can lift the stone lion in front of my house." Li Zheng saw that Ergou had completely forgotten what he had taught him before, so he could only speak for him. "The stone lions in front of my house weigh several hundred pounds each. My second brother can lift them easily."
Ergou corrected Li Zheng on the side and said: "I picked him up, not lifted him up."
Li Zheng glared at Ergou and told him to shut up.
"The two dogs are very strong and can help you look after Zhuangzi."
Ergou interrupted again: "I can still fight. No one in the village can beat me."
"Young master, Ergou can protect you and prevent you from being bullied."
Ergou echoed Li Zheng's words, raised his hand and beat his chest, and said honestly: "Well, I can protect you and prevent others from hitting you."
"Young master, Ergou is very obedient. He will do whatever you ask him to do."
Ergou nodded vigorously and said very obediently: "I am very obedient. I obey Grandpa Lizheng's words the most. Grandpa Lizheng said that I am the most obedient child in the village."
Li Zheng nodded and agreed, "Yes, Ergou is the most obedient child in the village."
When Ergou heard Li Zheng's compliment, a happy smile appeared on his honest face.
"Young Master, Ergou is also very capable of enduring hardships. He will do whatever you ask him to do, and he will never complain about hardship or tiredness." Li Zheng continued to recommend Ergou, "Don't think Ergou is small, he can do a lot of things. Dig. He knows how to land, transplant rice, and cut rice..."
Ergou interrupted Li Zheng and said: "I can also kill pigs and chop down trees. I can fight many trees."
Li Zheng was not angry when Ergou took over his words. Instead, he smiled and said, "Yes, Ergou can carry several trees from the mountain alone."
Next, Li Zheng praised Er Gou, and the second brother himself added.
Liang Run and Zhao Yao looked at Li Zheng and Er Gou singing in amusement.
"Young master, Ergou doesn't need to pay for his wages, as long as you let him have enough to eat." Li Zheng felt guilty when he said this. With Ergou's appetite, he definitely spends a lot of money on meals every month.
"I don't want wages, I just want to eat." After Ergou finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Yao, and after some hesitation, he said hesitantly, "If...it would be better if I could eat meat..."
Before he could finish his words, he was kicked in the back by Satsuma. He was so frightened that he quickly shut his mouth, then quickly shook his head and said, "It's okay if you don't eat meat."
"Young Master, if you take in Ergou, it's equivalent to taking in ten people." Li Zheng continued to brag about Ergou, "No, it's twenty people. Ergou can do the work of twenty people alone. If you take him in, It saves money on hiring twenty people.”
Ergou looked at Zhao Yao longingly: "I'm fine, you can have me."
Zhao Yao looked at the two dogs kneeling in front of him, and inexplicably decided that they looked like a big dog waiting for its owner to take him home.
"Young Master, I asked Ergou to lift the stone lion in front of my house for you to see." Li Zheng kicked Ergou again.
Ergou quickly stood up and ran outside.
Zhao Yao stood up and followed to the door of Li Zheng's house.
Ergou held the stone lion's belly with both hands, and then picked up the stone lion little by little. He didn't stop until he had the stone lion in his arms.
He did not put down the stone lion in a hurry, but hugged it for a while before putting it down.
Dingyuan and Tongan were stunned when they saw Ergou actually picking up the stone lion. Tongxi didn't quite believe it, so he walked over and imitated Ergou's action of holding the stone lion just now, preparing to give it a try, but the stone lion pattern didn't move.
Tongxi tried again, using his greatest strength, but still could not pick up the stone lion.
This stone lion weighs at least two to three hundred kilograms.
Zhao Yao looked at Ergou's expression of waiting for praise and said with a smile: "You are really strong."
Ergou said with a proud smile on his face: "I am the strongest in our village, no one can compare with me."
Tongxi smiled and said: "I'm afraid there is no one in the whole capital who is stronger than you." Are these two dogs really only ten years old? What kind of treasure did this kid eat to have such great strength?
"Young Master, do you think you should take in the two dogs?"
"The most important thing about the people who follow me is not strength, but loyalty. You will only be loyal to me in this life. Can you do it?"
Ergou said: "As long as you accept me, I will only have you as my master."
"Young Master, Ergou will definitely listen to you and be loyal to you." Li Zheng said again, "Ergou is an honest kid, has no thoughts, and is obedient and filial. If he follows you, Jedi will not betray you. "
Liang Run, who was standing next to Zhao Yao, didn't say anything.
Tongxi and the others didn't say anything.
They cannot interfere with Zhao Yao's ideas.
Zhao Yao looked at Ergou and smiled: "Okay, then I will accept you."
He was overjoyed and said to Zhao Yao gratefully: "Young master, thank you." After he finished speaking, he kicked Ergou's calf, "Ergou still doesn't kneel down to pay homage to your master."
Ergou hurriedly knelt down, quickly kowtowed to Zhao Yao three times, grinned and said: "Ergou greets his master!"
"Get up."
Ergou stood up obediently.
"Ergou is your nickname, so what's your big name?"
"Master, my name is Ergou. I have no other name."
Li Zheng explained: "His mother had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to him. In order to let him grow up safely, she gave him the stupid name [Er Gou]."
Zhao Yao thought for a moment and said, "Let's call him Dingshan from now on." Ergou looks like a mountain.
Ergou didn't expect that he could still have a famous name. He said happily: "Dingshan, I like it. Thank you master for giving me a name."
When Li Zheng saw that Zhao Yao had really accepted Dingshan, he felt very happy: "Young master, if you accept Dingshan, Dingshan will never let you down!" The child Dingshan finally has a destination. This young master comes from a wealthy family, and Dingshan is with him. If nothing else, at least he can have enough to eat.
Zhao Yao looked at Dingshan and thought, as long as he trains Dingshan properly, he can be of great use in the future.
He is very strong and is a good candidate for martial arts. When he returns to the capital, he will ask his second uncle to find a master for Dingshan.
"It's still early, uncle, let's go to the mountains to have a look." Zhao Yao did not forget the dream he had at noon. Bai Bai and Xiao Bai are still waiting for him in the mountains.
Liang Run thought Zhao Yao was interested in the mountains, "Okay, let's go and have a look."
"Young master, let me go with you, otherwise you may not be able to find the way down the mountain when it gets late."
"That would be troublesome."
"Young Master, you are so polite." Li Zheng said, "You have accepted Dingshan, and you are a benefactor to us in Dahua Village."
"Benefactor, that's not the case, is it?"
"Young Master, you don't know that Dingshan's parents are the heroes of our village..."
On the way to Dongbian Mountain, Li Zheng told Zhao Yao and others about Dingshan's pitiful life experience. As he talked, he started crying, and then kept thanking Zhao Yao.
Coming to the flat land again, Zhao Yao shouted: "Bai Bai, Xiao Bai, I'm here."
Liang Run hurriedly asked: "Yao Yao, who are you calling?"
"Second uncle, you will know soon." Zhao Yao called out into the distance again, "Bai Bai! Xiao Bai!"
Tongxi thought to himself, is there any... um... animal friends that His Highness knows here?
After a while, a white deer, which had always been covered in snow-white, appeared in front of them.
Seeing the white deer, Zhao Yao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It turned out that the dream was true.
When Satsumasa and Dingshan saw the white deer, they were stunned and stunned. They wanted to say something, but were too shocked to say a word.
Zhao Yao ran towards Bai Lu and hugged Bai Lu's head.
The white deer rubbed Zhao Yao's little face with its face.
Xiao Bai, who was wrapped around the white deer's antlers, was too shy to rub Zhao Yao's face like Bai Lu did.
Liang Run and the others were also stunned, looking at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
Thank you fellow veterans. Yesterday, I received more than a dozen monthly tickets, the most ever. Thank you very much, fellow veterans.
It's the end of the month now, and I still have to keep asking for monthly tickets from the veterans!
