Chapter 71 Fanning the Bandit Leader
Chapter 71 Fanning the Bandit Leader
Rong Bai just made a "tsk" sound and rolled his eyes.
Hanging a carrot in front of a donkey?
This is too cliché. I can say it better than him with my eyes closed.
Bah, bah, bah, the ghost is the donkey!
However, Rong Bai rolled his eyes.
He should slip away while no one is paying attention, otherwise, if those people are free and come to trouble him, that would be terrible.
His delicate skin and tender flesh could not withstand the punches of those rough men.
But, being envied because of my dark skin? Rong Bai smacked his lips.
It's quite interesting!
By the time the people came to their senses from their fantasy of a bright future and tried to trouble Gu Heizi again, he was long gone.
"You sly boy, you run really fast!"
Zhou Cang laughed: "You guys, just forget about it."
"If we talk about the quickest brain, it has to be Gu Heizi. Otherwise, why would the boss take him in as a servant?"
"Uncle Zhou, that's not right? Didn't the boss say that Gu Heizi was so dark-skinned that he was made a servant?" Zhou Yan said seriously.
Zhou Cang: "..."
"Shut up!"
You can talk nonsense about the boss's affairs.
It would be bad if word got out that you like dark-skinned guys.
After being scolded by him, everyone who wanted to ask questions instantly turned into quails and shrank in place.
"Okay, don't worry about anything else. Now, come in groups of two, lead the cows, and prepare the land for spring planting." Zhou reported.
what?
Two people and a cow?
real or fake?
The people were so shocked that they even thought they had heard it wrong, so they no longer cared about Heizi.
Cows are rare animals. Not only are they good at farm work, they are also extremely expensive. In their village, having two or three is considered a lot.
And now, with the laborers who have joined the villa one after another, there are now more than a hundred people.
In other words, there are at least fifty cows in their villa.
This is too rich.
Looking at these people's shocked and envious expressions, Zhou Cang and Rong Youyan took them to the cowshed.
After last night's careful care, the cow was still as thin, but much more energetic.
"After you take it away, remember not to use too much force on it. It's best to let it rest for an hour or two." Zhou Cang said with concern while showing off his pride.
Originally, they could be rotated, but later on, a lot of people were recruited and there weren’t enough cows.
"Don't worry, Manager Zhou. Even if we get tired, the cows won't get tired."
We are all farmers, and loving cows more than ourselves has become a habit.
Zhou Cang naturally understood this principle, so he didn't say anything more. He quickly registered the cattle and had them taken away. They were all distributed in a short while.
The farmhands were delighted, as they felt like they had suddenly become the landlords.
"I was worried at first. With so much land and so few people, pulling the plow would tire people to death. I didn't expect the boss to be so considerate of us and buy so many cows. The boss is really, really... kind and righteous!"
"Yes, they say that bandits are not good people, but the big boss is a real good man. I have been working here for so long, but I have never seen anyone who cares so much about the farmhands. They all want to use us like cattle."
"I've decided. When I get back, I'll ask my uncles to work for the boss."
"I have many cousins from my mother's family, all of them are tall and strong. I will go and call them over, but I wonder if the eldest master needs anyone else?"
"Yes, don't worry. I heard from Manager Zhou that the boss not only wants to farm, but also wants to raise chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep. There are a lot of things to do."
“Do you still need to raise these?”
They are naturally happy to have more things to look forward to, but...
The people looked at the sky without a trace of clouds, and they still felt a little worried. Can they... really do it?
If they didn't have so many wells here and they hadn't dried up, people wouldn't be able to survive. As for watering the fields and feeding the livestock, that would be impossible. So they had to focus on people first.
"Oh, a bunch of fools." At this time, a sarcastic voice with a hint of jealousy sounded next to him. It was Zhou Fugui.
He stood in the shadows with a gloomy look, wearing a black hat that covered his head tightly, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.
There were a few villagers standing next to him who had a good relationship with him. They were staring at the cow in the farmhand's hands, wishing they could snatch it away and take it for themselves.
This is all money, and we can buy a lot of food if we sell it.
"Zhou Fugui, why are you cursing?" The farmhands were so angry: "Who are you calling a fool?"
"Of course it's you." Zhou Fugui laughed: "The weeds on the mountain are almost dead, and you're still planting crops. You must be stupid, right?"
The farmhands' faces turned red, but they could not refute. They also asked Manager Zhou privately, but Manager Zhou said that the boss had his own ideas.
"There's no need for you to meddle in other people's business." The farmhands shouted angrily.
Looking at the farmhand who seemed to be running away in panic, Zhou Fugui's smile deepened.
It seems that they themselves are not sure.
That's right, he is happy when others are in trouble.
"Brother Zhou, how about we..." a man with a mole on his eyebrow said jealously: "While they are not paying attention, steal two cows and bring them back?"
This man is called Hu Laizi. He is just like his name, a rogue who specializes in doing dirty work for others for money. Recently, he has been very close to Zhou Fugui.
"Stealing cattle?" When Zhou Fugui heard the word "stealing", he thought of the food that had disappeared from his home, and he felt extremely angry.
Damn the head of the village, it’s been so many days and there’s still no clue. He’s just eating and doing nothing.
How about...creating some trouble for Luo Xi?
Then I can go and ask for credit from the county magistrate. Maybe he will think I am quite capable and help me recover the food.
"Okay, but don't rush today. Wait until they relax a little before stealing. This way it will be safer."
"Ha, Brother Zhou is really thoughtful." Hu Laizi kept giving compliments to Zhou Cang, which helped Zhou Cang relieve a lot of his recent depression.
Mr. County Magistrate, just wait and see. I will not allow the bandits under your rule to run rampant any longer.
What Zhou Fugui didn't know was that the county magistrate, whom he was waiting to curry favor with, was actually fanning the bandit leader with a grunt.
"Boss, how are you? Are you feeling cool?" He was sweating profusely but still said with a smile.
"Let me tell you, there are some things to pay attention to when fanning yourself. Whether it's the strength or the angle, if you get it wrong, the wind won't be that comfortable."
He has been talking non-stop since he came in, and what he said was very humorous and he never repeated himself.
"I didn't expect you know so much." Luo Xi's eyelids drooped slightly, and he leaned lazily on the Arhat couch.
This horrible weather is almost like the end of the world. However, what is more interesting than the weather is this Gu Heizi.
Luo Xi wanted to see what he was trying to do by sneaking into the villa.
"Ha, I'm curious about everything and like to ask questions." Rong Bai smiled innocently: "That's all I have a hobby of."
"Master, what else do you want to hear? I will tell you."
At this time, Liu Xiaoyu came in with tea. As soon as she stepped into the room, Rong Bai ran over and said, "Ouch, sister, don't move. Be careful not to get burned."
"How can I let a sister like you who looks like a fairy do such rough work? You can just ask me to do it in the future. I am thick-skinned and I like to do this."
As he spoke, he quickly took it and poured it for Luo Xi swiftly, not even leaving out Jiuxian who was lying silently beside him.
