The five people were bitter in their hearts, but they could only smile and bow on their faces: "We must reform well and change our past mistakes!"
"Well, see you tomorrow~" Mingxi walked briskly back home.
She was in a good mood. Although she lost a lot of money to buy two Guardians, the money was well spent. It not only solved the safety hazard, but also freed several strong laborers to open up wasteland. She was happy~
Ergou, Chaozi and Mazi watched Mingxi walk away with mixed feelings in their hearts.
The dwarf looked at this, then that, and said hesitantly: "Now... what, what should I do?"
"What should I do? Didn't you kowtow very well just now?" Ergou scolded angrily, "It's not a shame to speak like a fairy in one mouthful!"
The dwarf muttered in dissatisfaction: "Don't you all call her Fairy Girl too?"
Ergou was so angry that he couldn't refute these words. He kicked the gravel on the ground and walked forward.
The other brothers quickly followed, not knowing whether they were comforting Ergou or themselves, saying: "It's not shameful for us to scream. That woman... well, that woman does have some abilities. Call her Fairy Girl." It’s nothing.”
"Yes, we are... aware of the current situation and become heroes, right?"
"What will we do tomorrow? Do we really want to stay here to open up wasteland? I have never done such hard work before..."
"Then don't do it and wait to be dealt with by her magic!"
"Hey! We can borrow a saw and cut open the ring around the neck!"
"Huh?...Don't hurt your neck, or you'll be out of business!"
"Let's go, let's try it!"
Several people seemed to have renewed hope and quickly returned to the village.
Ergou heard their voices, stretched out his hand and tugged on the motionless collar around his neck, cursed under his breath and went back to the pigsty alone.
He ran back and forth several times today, and the soles of his feet were on fire. He received several electric shocks, and now he has no strength at all.
After returning to the pigsty, he wrapped the rope around his body again and fell asleep.
He was so tired that he slept until midnight the next day. It was not until Aunt Zhao came to the pig pen to feed the pigs with pig grass, rotten vegetable leaves, and radish gangs that Er Gouzi was woken up by the pigs.
Zhao Lizheng came over to pull his rope and found that the rope was loose, so he didn't bother to tie it up again. He frowned and said: "Er Gouzi, come with me to Hexia Village and tell Li Zheng of Hexia Village about your stealing." speak."
He was worried that Er Gouzi was being stupid again, so he warned Er Gou in a particularly stern tone: "Don't associate with those gangsters in Hexia Village from now on! Look at the good things you have done. Do you really think that the servants of the yamen are just freeloaders? I can tell you. , Madam of the Ming family is now the distinguished guest of the county magistrate! The county magistrate will come to our village to see her in a few days. At this juncture, you are stealing things! You are deliberately trying to send yourself to prison! "
Ergou rubbed his eyes, changed from his usual carefree attitude, and said to Zhao Lizheng calmly: "Uncle Zhao, I know I was wrong."
Zhao Lizheng: (⊙_⊙)?
Just... I was a little caught off guard. What's going on?
Ergou was exhausted both physically and mentally when he thought about the next days of land reclamation. He sighed and said, "Uncle Zhao, the gods gave me a dream. I already know that I was wrong, but the stolen things have been taken away by Brother Tie and the others. I I can’t make it up to the Ming family’s wife, so I’m going to open up wasteland behind Aizipo to atone for my sins.”
Zhao Lizheng's eyes widened even more!
What is going on? ! After the wife of the Ming family, another villager who changed greatly appeared!
Er Gouzi is notoriously lazy in the village. He used to sell all his acres of thin farmland to gamble, and he was too lazy to plow his own land. Now he actually wants to clear up wasteland for others? !
"The wasteland behind Aizi Slope has been bought by the Ming family's wife." Zhao Lizheng explained because he was afraid that he wouldn't know.
Ergou nodded, as if he was not surprised at all, "Well, I know, there is nothing there. I have to find a way to build a straw shed there first."
Zhao Lizheng became more and more puzzled as he listened, "Why bother with that? It's not like your house cannot be inhabited. You should be more diligent when clearing wasteland and just run from one end to the other."
Ergou's eyes became very sad.
He also wants to live at home, but the collar around his neck won't let him!
The two dogs walked out silently, stopped after a few steps, turned around, and stared at Zhao Lizheng, making Zhao Lizheng feel very scared.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Lizheng asked with a frown.
"Uncle Zhao, actually you don't need to go to Hexia Village today." Ergou whispered, "I think... those few will also come to open up wasteland."
"What?" Zhao Lizheng was stunned.
Aunt Zhao on the side couldn't stand it anymore and muttered: "Did you catch a cold while sleeping in the pig pen and your head is burned out?"
She put her hand on Ergou's forehead and said, "It's not hot at all."
"If those people in Hexia Village are really serious, they should collect some money to compensate the Ming family's wife, instead of clearing wasteland." Zhao Lizheng frowned, feeling that Ergou was talking nonsense, "Our wasteland in Heshang Village has not yet been dealt with. People from Hexia Village open it.”
Ergou smiled softly when he heard this, as if he was mocking, but also a bit resentful. Aunt Zhao looked on with fear.
Then Ergou walked away slowly. I wonder if it was because he didn't sleep well last night. The steps on his feet were weak, as if he might fall down at any time.
Aunt Zhao stood next to Zhao Lizheng and watched him go away, and asked worriedly: "What happened to these two bitches? Did you see it? He just laughed so...scary."
Zhao Lizheng couldn't think of a reason. The couple looked at me and I looked at you, and they all thought of what Ming Xi said yesterday that the gods would help her...
Zhao Lizheng: “…………”
Aunt Zhao: “…………”
Is it really that magical? ? ?
After a brief silence, Zhao Lizheng turned around and went out, saying, "I'll ask Lao San, Ming Song and Zhu Zhu to go to Hexia Village together."
Aunt Zhao was still a little dizzy, "...Okay, leave early and come back early."
Li Zheng of a village took the strongest young man in the village and set off for Hexia Village.
I met the dwarf halfway. He was carrying a bundle of firewood and a shovel. He didn't know how he got it, and his neck was stained red and black.
When he got closer, Zhao Lizheng could see clearly that the dirt on his neck was dark brown blood scab!
Zhao Lizheng was startled, "Short! What happened to your neck?! Who did you fight with?!"
The dwarf touched his neck and smiled, "No... I, I chopped some firewood and was accidentally scratched by a branch. It's okay..."
Zhao Lizheng was stunned, "You are chopping firewood with a shovel???"
"Oh, I was...I was scratched while collecting firewood," the short man hesitated, "I borrowed the spade, and I...I'm going to open up wasteland."
Zhao Lizheng was so shocked that he was speechless.
Good guy, if you go to Ming's house to steal something, you should be part of it!
