Bai Zhu looked at the calf seriously: "Have you ever been framed, sir?"
Niu Dao said: "It's not a false accusation, it's just an injustice."
Bai Juan hesitated for a while and then said cautiously: "Can you tell me?"
The calf smiled: "Of course, what's wrong with that?"
He sighed and said to Niu Dao: "I think back then, the Exalted Immortal had just entered Xianyang City and had just established this Shangjun Courtyard."
"At that time, the banished immortal invited everyone to drink at a banquet. I was the poorest one during the banquet and was not very gregarious. As a result, the jade pendant of the banished immortal was lost."
"Everyone suspected that I had stolen it, so they ordered me to hand it over. In fact, I didn't do anything, so how could I hand it over?"
"These people didn't care. They beat me up when they caught me. They first searched my body and then my apartment. They found nothing, but they smashed all my bottles and cans."
Bai Juan looked at the calf with some sympathy.
The calf smiled and said: "They didn't find anything, but they still didn't let me go. Instead, they seemed to be angry and beat me harder."
Bai Juan hammered the ground angrily: "It's really too much of a lie."
Niu Calf hummed: "Yes, it's too much to bully others. But I never said anything or admitted it."
Bai Juan said: "I've never done it, why should I admit it?"
Niu Calf said: "Yes, that's the truth. I haven't done it before, why should I admit it? I will never admit it."
He turned to look at Bai Juan and said, "My original experience was so similar to yours. So after I saw you, I immediately felt sympathy."
Bai Juan was about to shed tears.
He said to the calf: "Sir, I am really grateful that you believe in me."
Niu Calf waved his hand: "This is nothing. I believe you are a good man and will not do such sneaky things."
Bai Zhu nodded seriously, and then asked Niu Calf: "What happened next?"
Niu Calf chuckled: "Later, I found the jade pendant that banished the immortal. It turned out that it fell into the toilet when I was going to the toilet."
"Fortunately, I just ransacked the toilet two days ago, so I didn't fall. Otherwise, my innocence would be completely ruined."
Bai Juan also said with a scared look on his face: "It's so dangerous."
The calf nodded.
He said to Bai Juan: "Later, I was put down without apology or comfort. The banished immortal just pointed at the jade pendant in the toilet and said: I don't want it anymore, I will reward you."
The calf touched his body and took out a crystal clear jade pendant: "This is it."
Bai Zhu looked at the calf in surprise: "You...you really took out this thing?"
Niu Dao hummed: "We were poor at that time. A piece of jade pendant is too valuable. Not to mention falling into a manure pit, I have to take it out even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire."
Bai Juan nodded slowly: "That's true."
The two were silent for a while, and Niu Calf suddenly said: "Are you despising me?"
Bai Juan was taken aback and quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, how is that possible?"
Niu Dia chuckled: "Do you think it's very unbearable that I picked up a jade pendant from a manure pit and even gave up my face for a little money?"
Bai Juan quickly said: "Really not."
The calf laughed.
He took a deep breath and said calmly: "Actually, this jade pendant is valuable, but now that I am not short of money, I still wear it. Do you know why?"
Bai Juan shook his head.
Niu Calf said: "When I wear this jade pendant, I can remember the humiliation I suffered that day."
"I have washed the jade pendant clean, but I can still vaguely smell the smell on it."
"This stench reminds me that I must be a superior person and someone who is respected by others. I am speculating in Shangjun Courtyard and doing whatever it takes to be respected by others."
He said to Bo Juan: "Do you think I really regard those people as brothers? Haha, I actually hate them to the core."
When Bai Juan heard Niu Dao say this, he immediately regarded him as a confidant.
It turns out that the calf is an alien from Shangjun Courtyard.
Of course, Li Shui had never lost his jade pendant, and Niu Calf had not had such a tragic experience. Everything is just making up stories and deceiving Bo Juan.
And this guy Bai Juan is really pitiful, being deceived all over the place.
After the two were silent for a long time, Bai Juan said to Niu Calf: "Sir, can I call you Brother Niu?"
The calf smiled: "Why not?"
Bai Juan suddenly shook his head: "No, no, it can't be done."
The calf asked in confusion: "Why can't you do it?"
Bai Juan said: "Because Niubi also has the surname Niu."
Speaking of this, Bai Juan's voice was a little hoarse, as if he was crying.
The calf looked at him sympathetically.
Then he said: "That's all, just call me Brother Du."
Bai Juan thought for a while and said, "We scholars, when we address a person respectfully, we add a character."
Niu Dao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "So, Confucius, Mencius, Mozi, and Zhuangzi are all honorific names?"
Bai Juan said: "Exactly."
Then he looked at the calf with respect and said, "You are the person who has helped me the most since I arrived at Shangjun Courtyard. You are the one I respect the most here. Please allow me to call you calf."
The calf nodded and said, "You're welcome."
There was another moment of silence between the two.
Then, as if he had finally plucked up the courage, Niu Du said to Bai Juan: "Dou Zi, I am actually very lonely in Shangjun Courtyard. I don't even have a single friend."
The calf said: "Why?"
Bai Juan said: "I am different from others. Others come here to do research seriously and ignore what is happening outside the window. But I can't. I have a mission."
Niu Diao suddenly became nervous, but he tried his best to relax so as not to let Bai Juan notice that something was wrong.
He smiled slightly and said, "What mission do you have?"
Bai Juan said: "When I was young, my living conditions were actually pretty good. But then something happened. My family fell into a state of poverty, leading to extreme poverty."
"In the worst time, I used to beg for food on the street. But people are generally not rich, so when they can eat, I will starve, and when they starve, I will starve to death."
"Fortunately, life got better later and the people were able to eat enough. I lived half-starved and half-full."
"Once, I saw a Guizhou man feeding his dog the leftover cake. I felt so sad. I picked up the cake and stuffed it into my mouth."
"Who knew that the dog would get angry, rush over and bite me, and pull my legs hard."
"I fought with the dog for an hour, and finally, I choked its neck. The dog's claws scratched my body, leaving many scratches on my chest."
Speaking of this, Bai Juan suddenly took off his shirt.
The calf took a look and saw that there were indeed many shocking scars on it.
Niu Dao imagined the scene at that time and felt that this guy, Bai Juan, had been disemboweled.
Bai Juan sighed and said to the calf: "After I killed the dog, I ate its meat. It was the first time I had a full meal, and I haven't eaten meat for a long time."
"However, after eating the meat, I was quickly caught. The dog owner beat me half to death, then tied me to the door and asked me to guard the door for him."
Calf: "..."
Bai Juan said: "However, I am always smarter than a dog. I thought of many ways and finally broke the lock, and then I escaped while it was dark in the middle of the night."
"I didn't dare to go back to my hometown, so I just ran away as far away as possible. I ran away for a long time. Then I met a kind man. He helped me find a job as a manure digger, and from then on From now on, I will work there.”
"Once, when I was working with several masters, one of them wanted to worship the toilet god."
Niu Calf waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute. What is the toilet god? Why have I never heard of it?"
Bai Juan hurriedly hissed nervously and said to Niu Dao: "Dou Zi, don't dare to blaspheme. The toilet god is the god of toilets, and he is very good at acting."
"If you don't respect the God of the toilet, you may not go smoothly after entering the toilet, and then you may urinate dryly and bleed."
"Have you heard of Dr. Chun Yuyue in Xianyang City? It is said that this man did not respect the toilet god, and as a result he offended the toilet god, who made him miserable."
Calf: "..."
Oh, was Chun Yuyue’s hemorrhoids caused by disrespecting the toilet god? What the hell.
The calf shook his head and said nothing.
At this time, Bo Juan added: "Besides that, there are also our excrement workers. If you don't respect the toilet god, something may happen."
"That day after the master worshiped the toilet god, a gust of wind suddenly blew over and blew sparks into the toilet."
"It just happened. There was something special about that toilet. The opening was very small, and then there was a bang and an explosion occurred. I was relatively far away at the time, and the remaining three people were seriously injured. They died after lying in bed for a few days. ”
At this point, Bai Juan untied his pants and said, "But I was facing away from them and going to the toilet far away, so I didn't suffer much harm."
The calf looked at it and found that Bai Juan's lower body looked like dry tree bark.
Niu Calf said with some confusion: "No, aren't you dung collectors? Isn't the toilet right here? Why do you have to go to the toilet far away?"
Bai Juan gave a bitter smile and said, "Dude, you don't know something. How can people like us have the right to go to the toilet? The toilet is for nobles, at least for the upper class."
Niu Calf said: "Isn't this level being phased out now?"
Bai Juan said: "Yes, it has basically been canceled now, but... not all of them have been cancelled. There are still some among the people."
The calf nodded slowly.
Bai Juan said: "Those masters are all dead, and I am the only one left to dig out the excrement. Every time I work, I am careful and strictly prohibit fireworks."
"But the scene always lingers in my mind, and I wonder why it happened. Did someone hide explosives in the pit?"
"I am different from others. My family used to be wealthy, so I thought about a problem and would keep thinking about it. Until one day, by chance, I discovered that after fermentation of feces, a kind of gas will be produced. This gas It can be ignited.”
"Because there are a lot of this stuff in swamps, I named it biogas. Then I discovered that not only can it be distinguished, but dead branches and leaves can produce this stuff as long as they are fermented and densified."
"In the future, when the winter is particularly cold, you can use this thing to keep warm. Of course, if you want to use it, you must be careful and it must not explode again."
"I didn't realize at the time what the use of this invention was. Until I met a distinguished person who encouraged me to come to Xianyang City to apply for a patent."
"Actually, I don't even have travel expenses. The noble man gave it to me."
"Actually, that noble man is also from a poor family, but his skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so he is a little better off than me."
"Before I left, I swore to you that I would do something in Xianyang City to repay his great kindness."
Niu Calf asked: "How do you plan to repay his kindness?"
Bai Juan was stunned for a moment, but in the end he didn't tell the truth.
He said vaguely: "Of course I will give him everything I have. Help him get whatever he wants. I will help him restore his past glory."
Bai Juan smiled bitterly and said to Niu Calf: "Originally, it was very simple to accomplish this. After all, I am in Shangjun Courtyard. The facilities here are very complete. It is not too difficult to achieve something."
"If I can get the Immortal Chemistry Award, I can reach the sky in one step. But now...it's too late. I've been framed as a thief, and everyone is avoiding me. I can't do anything."
Niu Calf smiled slightly and said: "That's not necessarily the case. If others avoid you, you can ignore them and just study your own."
Bai Juan nodded: "What you said makes sense. But..."
Bai Juan shook his head slowly: "Forget it, it's nothing."
Niu Calf smiled slightly and patted Bai Juan on the shoulder: "Remember, no matter what happens, we are all friends. You can tell me."
Bai Zhu nodded seriously.
It was already very late at this time. Niu Calf said goodbye to Bai Juan and left.
Bai Juan sat in the reflection room, looking at the beams, thinking: Maybe, relying on the calf, I can do something in Shangjun Courtyard? Maybe... I can even complete my master's mission.
I just don’t know if this calf is reliable.
While Bai Zhu was thinking wildly, Niu Diao had already met Li Shui.
Li Shui asked: "How's it going?"
Niu Calf said: "Things are going very smoothly. Although he doesn't completely believe me, it's almost there."
Li Shui nodded with satisfaction: "Okay. Very good. You have to continue working hard and strive to gain his full trust."
