On the second day, before the rooster crowed, Gu Xifeng and Monkey were sleeping soundly in the broken shed. The originally locked door slowly opened, and a figure walked into the house silently.
I saw the man walking up to their bed, holding something in his arms and raising it with a crash.
The two men were awakened by the biting cold in their sleep.
The monkey screamed and sat up. Gu Xifeng stood up and assumed a posture to face the enemy. Both of them were soaked.
"Why are you so cool? If I were an enemy, you two would already be dead, with no sense of precaution at all." An ordinary voice sounded with dissatisfaction in his tone.
Hearing the somewhat familiar voice, the two of them immediately thought of the cheap master Huang Xin.
"I'll give you half a stick of incense. I'll wait at the door. If it's overtime, haha." Huang Xin sneered, walked out and closed the door.
Gu Xifeng and Gu Xifeng looked at each other and said nothing. They hurriedly changed out of their soaked clothes and rushed out of the door. Unexpectedly, the door was locked from the outside, so they had no choice but to kick it open.
The monkey arrived at the courtyard just a moment late. He faintly felt a gust of wind behind him, and a huge force came from his buttocks, and he flew out.
With a plop, the monkey fell firmly to the ground.
He reluctantly stood up and looked back with an unconvinced look. It was Huang Xin who was standing in front of the door with his arms folded, looking at them maliciously.
The monkey cursed for a while.
"If you are not convinced, you can challenge me at any time. Whatever you win is up to you." Huang Xin said nonchalantly when he saw the monkey's dissatisfied face.
The monkey suppressed his anger and did not take action. Huang Xin was so mysterious that he did not dare to attack him rashly.
"Two cowards! If you don't mind, just follow and get to work!" After saying that, Huang Xin walked towards the back door of the courtyard.
Suddenly, a figure behind Huang Xin galloped up and attacked his back. Huang Xin did not look back, but suddenly increased his speed, and the attack failed.
It was Gu Xifeng who took action. Seeing this, the monkey also used his speed and attacked Huang Xin with Gu Xifeng.
"I won't bully you either. If you meet me, you win!" Huang Xin stood proudly.
Gu Xifeng and Monkey tried their best, not even touching the corner of Huang Xin's clothes. Huang Xin's body skills were extremely fast and his movements were unbelievable. No matter how they attacked, they could easily resolve them.
"Have you had enough fun? It's my turn." Huang Xin smiled faintly and dodged a few times. Their necks were all grabbed by Huang Xin, unable to move.
Huang Xin let go of the two of them and rushed towards the back door.
"Follow me when you're convinced. If you can't keep up, hey."
Gu Xifeng and Gu Xifeng looked at each other helplessly and hurriedly followed.
Huang Xin walked out of the back door and headed towards the back mountain at a very fast speed, completely unaffected by the terrain.
Gu Xifeng and the two complained endlessly, pushing their speed to the limit and having to avoid various obstacles on the road.
There were plum blossom piles and single-plank bridges to cross when crossing the river, making it even more difficult for them to catch up with Huang Xin.
Finally, Huang Xin stopped at a stream. There were two poles and four buckets beside the stream.
"Each person has a shoulder pole and two buckets, carry water back from the creek, and fill the small water tank in the backyard. Don't think about carrying water from the creek in the middle. The taste of river water and creek water is completely different."
"If you don't pretend to be dissatisfied before noon, hehe, I'd be happy to see it." Huang Xin moved his hands and feet as he spoke, and the threat was self-evident.
In the blink of an eye, Huang Xin disappeared deep into the woods.
"This..." Gu Xifeng was a little surprised.
"Huang Xin's speed just now was much faster than when he came. When he came, he kept lowering his speed and waiting for us." A smile appeared on Gu Xifeng's face, and some things gradually became clear.
"Xifeng, why are you laughing? There is only one water tank in the backyard. You're the boss. We don't know how many trips we have to make for such a big bucket." The monkey's teeth started to itch when he thought of the way Huang Xin mentioned the small bucket.
"However, no matter what, I will definitely work hard. I will not let Sister Huai Shi down!" Suddenly, the monkey clenched his fists and looked excited, with light shining in his eyes.
"Monkey, you must have been drugged by Jiang Huaishi." Gu Xifeng looked at the monkey with a funny look.
"No, I'm fine. Let's get started." The monkey picked up two buckets of stream water and ran back.
"This kid is a little crazy." Gu Xifeng looked at the monkey's energetic back and smiled helplessly, then picked up two buckets of water and rushed after him.
Before they reached the river, the two of them discovered that less than half of the originally full water had been spilled, and they had already walked less than half of the journey, so they had no choice but to continue.
When crossing the single-plank bridge, the monkey was too anxious and his feet were unstable. He fell into the water. Although he was held by Gu Xifeng, the pole and bucket were washed away along the river. It took a lot of effort for the two of them to recover the things.
The two had no choice but to start over and return to the creek to fetch water. The two of them were more careful this time, but when they arrived at the backyard of Zaojun Pavilion, there was only a small amount of water left in each bucket, and only a shallow layer was poured into the water tank.
"Our speed and stability are not enough. It seems that it is impossible to complete the task today."
"However, let's do our best." After Gu Xifeng finished speaking, he continued to rush towards the back mountain, and the monkey gritted his teeth and persisted.
By noon, the big water tank was only half full.
Huang Xin looked at the two panting and embarrassed two people with a smile. "Yes, you really didn't disappoint me. It's just a little bit. It seems like you can stretch your muscles. Who comes first?"
"I'll do it." Gu Xifeng frowned and stepped forward.
Huang Xin started punching and kicking Gu Xifeng. The first thing Gu Xifeng felt was severe pain, unbearable pain.
Then, Gu Xifeng discovered that Huang Xin's fists and feet seemed to have some strange power and rhythm. While experiencing severe pain, he felt a trace of warmth flowing between his muscles and bones, which was painful but not hurt.
He remained silent and endured it silently.
It was finally over. Gu Xifeng felt pain all over his body and sat down on the ground, unable to move.
It was the monkey's turn. At first, a series of miserable screams came out of the monkey's mouth, attracting many good cooks to come and watch. Then the monkey seemed to remember something, its eyes gradually became firm, and it gritted its teeth and stopped screaming.
"That's right. The two boys are quite men. Let's take a break to eat and do some easy work in the afternoon." After Huang Xin beat the monkey, he rubbed his hands against each other, patted the non-existent dust on his body, and walked away.
The two rested for a long time and felt able to move. They got up and went to eat. After a long meal, the appetite was surprisingly large.
"Monkey, although Huang Xin is a little shady, I think what he does is beneficial to us. We must persevere!" Gu Xifeng said solemnly, looking at Monkey who was still struggling to pick up the rice.
The monkey swallowed the food in his mouth quickly and almost choked.
"Don't worry, I will work hard. If I beat him one day, I will definitely take revenge! Beat him into a pig's head!" The monkey gritted his teeth.
"Yes, let's beat him up together. He doesn't tell us whether he's nice to us or not. This man is so hateful!" Gu Xifeng also agreed, and the two laughed loudly, causing the cooks who were eating next to him to look at him sideways.
