"Sir, this house just collapsed during a heavy rain last month. The official and his officials just repaired it! It's only been less than a month, why did you demolish it again?"
Tao Qingyun was crying when he said this. Shao Xi almost bankrupted him by playing such a trick.
"Master Tao, just be fine, don't worry, don't worry! All losses will be borne by me. I will not only restore your governor's mansion to its original appearance, but also make it more beautiful than before. This is all my fault for being careless. I hope Master Tao won’t be offended.”
Tao Qingyun originally wanted to say "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter", but when he looked up, it seemed that he really had no house, and he felt so uncomfortable!
When Lao Wu came up, he slapped Shao Xi on the head and said angrily: "You can play as long as you want. I told you to play outside, not inside the house. It will make a mess. What should I do now? Where is the knife? Get the knife back quickly."
Lao Wu's reminder immediately made Shao Xi and Tao Qingyun panic.
yes! Where's the knife? The knife flew to who knows where. If it cuts on the head of some unlucky guy, it can't be solved by just a few explanations. It's not a joke to kill someone.
quick! Find the knife quickly!
Several people, disgraced and disgraced, ran out of the governor's house in a panic and towards the back of the government office. It seemed like the knife had been flying in that direction before.
Going to the back of the Sheriff's Mansion, both Shao Xi and Lao Wu, as well as Tao Qingyun, all felt "thumped" in their hearts.
Good guy! There is a residential area behind, and it looks like something is going to be very bad!
"Quick, quick, quick! Go and find out who's house dropped something, and ask if anyone was injured. Oh, my God! This is fatal!"
Several people hurriedly dispersed to ask nearby residents whose house something had fallen into, but after asking around, no one knew.
When several people were in a state of confusion, a doll with a dirty face and a sugar cane in his hand ran up to them.
"Are you looking for something that fell from the sky? Is it shiny?"
Shao Xi picked up the child and asked hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, we are looking for something shiny that fell from the sky. Little one, do you know where it is? "
The child turned his head and pointed to a house not far away, and said, "I saw that thing fell into Aunt Li's pig pen, and it seemed to have hit the big sow."
Shao Xi quickly put the child down, took out two cents and stuffed it into the child's hand, and asked the child to buy candy. He took Lao Wu and Tao Qingyun and ran towards Aunt Li's house in a hurry.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Aunt Li standing in front of the pig pen, wiping tears and mumbling curses.
"Who is this godless god? He didn't hold the thing in his hand well. He fell into my pig pen and hacked our only old sow to death. Could it be that this pig offended you in his previous life? , you still want to chop off its head in this life? You took revenge, but what should I do? You damn god, give me back my old sow."
When Shao Xi heard this, wasn't that the damned god with no eyesight me? Fortunately, it fell into a pig pen. If it had fallen into someone's house, something big might have happened!
Seeing this, Tao Qingyun hurriedly ran up and explained to Aunt Li: "Aunt Li, Aunt Li! I'm really sorry, it was an adult from the capital who came from my residence who lost his hand when he was trying the knife, and this knife flew into your yard. You are not a god in the sky. Your sow will be compensated according to the price. Please don’t be offended, Aunt Li."
Aunt Li stared at Tao Qingyun with her eyes wide open and said in disbelief: "Sir, what are you talking about? I tried the knife in your house and missed it. The knife flew to my pig pen. You didn't do it." Is that wrong? Look how far your government office is from our home?"
Tao Qingyun turned around and looked in the direction of his government office. Indeed, he could barely see the roof before, but now he couldn't even see the roof.
Shao Xi quickly took out half of the money from his pocket, walked up and stuffed it into Aunt Li's hand, and kept apologizing.
"This aunt is really sorry! Sorry, sorry! The knife flew out for a moment, but luckily no one was hurt. You can use this half-money to buy a few pigs. As for the dead sow, just treat it as your own. Auntie, please eat pork."
Looking at the half-money in her hand, Aunt Li's face flashed with excitement, but she stuffed the money back with her backhand, and said to Shao Xi seriously: "You are a high-ranking official from the capital, right? I can't afford your money. Yes, you have come all the way and are our guests from Nanshui County. Later I will pack up the pig and sell it for meat. In exchange for the money, I can catch two piglets. But young man, can you try the knife next time? Got it? This time I chopped off the pig's head, I might not know what I'll chop off next time."
"Yes, yes! I will never try a knife again, not in this life."
Good guy, there’s next time? This time I was so scared that I lost my wits. How could I dare to do it next time?
Shao Xi still insisted on asking Aunt Li to accept the money. After some refusal, Aunt Li had no choice but to accept it.
But then the matter of taking the knife troubled several people again. The pig pen was really smelly, and there was pig dung everywhere. At this time, the knife was mixed with pig dung and pig blood, and it looked like it was all mixed together. How can you dare to go in and take it out when it's being fucked?
Shao Xi turned to look at Old Wu. Old Wu rolled his eyes and walked aside with the wine bottle. He then turned to look at Tao Qingyun. Tao Qingyun hurriedly lowered his head and began to clean the dust on his body. It seems that no one is planning to take advantage of him. The trouble is caused by himself. It seems that he can only get into this pigsty by himself.
I found two bundles of hay from the yard and spread the hay in from the door of the pig pen little by little to avoid stepping on the pig manure. After finally reaching the sow, Shao Xi almost vomited.
I saw the huge pig head rolling to the side, and blood was still pouring out of the pig's neck. The pig pen was already full of the stench of pig manure, and now coupled with the fishy smell of pig blood, it smelled so... Calling a boss, Shao Xi almost poured out all the food he had just eaten in the restaurant to feed the dead pig.
Shao Xi pinched his nose and squatted down, picking up the precious knife lying in the pig manure. The knife was covered with a mixture of pig manure and pig blood. When Shao Xi picked it up, it almost got all over his hands. He let go and threw it back.
Finally, the sword covered in pig manure was dragged out of the pig pen, but how to get it back? You can't drag it all the way like this, right? With my small body, I definitely couldn't carry it back, so the only option was to carry it.
"Hey...!"
Shao Xi immediately choked at the thought of carrying such a big pile of pig manure back.
Looking at Lao Wu and Tao Qingyun again, they were already holding their noses and hiding away, as if Shao Xi was the biggest piece of pig dung at the moment.
well! You have to repay the debts you owe, and you have to bear the sins you commit. Who told you that you had to play with this knife so cheaply in the first place?
He grabbed a few more handfuls of hay from the haystack in the yard, rolled the red tiger bite silver knife stained with pig manure in hay, put it on his shoulders, and swayed towards the county governor's house.
Lao Wu and Tao Qingyun followed him from a distance, and no one wanted to walk with him anymore.
Along the way, Shao Xi seemed to be poisoned. People stayed away wherever he went, and some good people pointed behind his back and discussed whether this person was a "dung man"? Shao Xi blushed a little at first, but eventually he got used to it. He lowered his eyelids, couldn't see or hear anything, and just walked back.
After finally returning to the Sheriff's Mansion, when he entered the yard and saw half of the house collapsed, Shao Xi felt another black streak. He was so unlucky today that his teeth were filled with cold water.
Tao Qingyun hurriedly called for his servants and ordered them to boil water for Shao Xi to bathe and change clothes. He also ordered someone to take down the knife and clean it. The servants in the mansion also held their noses and asked Shao Xi to put the knife on a door panel, and the two of them carried it away.
The humiliation was really great this time. I originally wanted to show off my skills, but now my house collapsed and I was covered in pig manure. It has become the biggest joke in Nanshui County. It is estimated that even if he leaves Nanshui County, he will have a good reputation for a long time, and everyone will know about it. However, this reputation seems to be a bit stinky, and it is really stinky.
When Shao Xi finished bathing and changing clothes in the back hall and came to the front yard refreshed, he saw Tao Qingyun sitting on the pile of rubble, holding his chin with his hand in a daze, his face full of sadness. And Old Wu was sitting on a stone bench in the middle of the yard, shaking his head and repairing his silver wine pot that had been smashed and deformed. The whole scene looked like a disaster scene after an earthquake.
Shao Xi sighed and shook his head. It was all his fault. It seemed that he had to find a way to make up for it. Otherwise, Tao Qingyun might never want to see him again in his life.
"Old Tao, you go find some laborers, and then send people to buy some new bricks, stones and wood and come back here. In the past few days, you will have renovated the governor's mansion. The thing you originally repaired was too much to deal with. , Let’s repair it properly this time, and I will pay for all the money. As for those laborers, you just couldn’t bear to requisition them at first, so even if you hire them this time, I will pay for them.”
Tao Qingyun looked up at Shao Xi pitifully, but still said with principle: "This county governor's mansion is public property, and it should be repaired by the county. It's just that the subordinate officials are incompetent, and the county's finances are lacking and there is no money for repairs. How can it be done now?" It is absolutely impossible for you, my lord, to bear the consequences of your subordinate's incompetence at your own expense."
"Old Tao, what nonsense are you talking about? I am on a mission to Southern Zhao this time, and I also have the responsibility of inspecting and supervising various places. Now I see that your governor's mansion needs repairs. Of course, the court will pay for it. Why not? Go and make arrangements. I have to buy materials manually, and before I leave your Nanshui County, I must build your governor's mansion in a presentable manner, otherwise wouldn't it bring disgrace to the court?"
When Tao Qingyun heard this, it made sense! He immediately beamed with joy and walked out from the pile of broken bricks and tiles. He said with a naive smile: "Thank you, Mr. Shao, for showing sympathy to me. Don't arrange for me to do this for you. I will do it myself. The manpower and materials will be fast." The arrangements can be made and construction can start today. We need to make it stronger this time to avoid it collapsing again in the heavy rain."
"The old ones will not go away, and the new ones will not come in. All the furniture and utensils in the house will be replaced with new ones. Even if they are not damaged, the old ones will be thrown away."
"Sir, there is no need to be so wasteful, right? Some old things can still be used."
"Then how about I play with the knife again?"
"Okay! It's whatever you say, why don't I just go and do it right now?"
