Chapter 643

At the back door of the Ji Mansion, thirteen children followed the old man into the door. Their smell made the servants keep away from them.The old man led them to a remote yard and stopped, and said: "You guys should live here temporarily. I will send hot water and new clothes immediately. You should wash them well, and I will bring them to you again." You go to see the owner. Well, wash your dog well, so it won't have to follow you." Zhuang Zhuang leaned close to Fang Xiao and Liu Xiaocai, his eyes were bright, and his smell was stronger than that of the children.The old man wanted to let the children throw the dog away, but everyone disagreed.These days they were in the mountains, thanks to Zhuang Zhuang's help, they could catch enough prey every day, and they could sleep soundly at night.In their hearts, Zhuangzhuang is no longer a dog, but their partner, so the children disagree.The old man had no choice but to go back to Jifu with the dog.

The children nodded and watched the old man leave.Liu Xiaocai yelled and ran into the yard, touching the inside, touching there, holding Fang Xiao and Liu Xiaohu's hands, and kept saying that she liked the small yard here, the small bed, and the dark window screen , in short, she likes everything here.

Liu Xiaohu secretly wiped away his tears sadly, and responded to Liu Xiaocai's words with a smile.Fang Xiao just let Liu Xiaocai hold his hand and ran around, with a big smile on his face.

After Liu Xiaohu waited for Fang Xiao and Liu Xiaocai to enter the room, he called the big guys over: "We are only living here temporarily for a year. During our stay here, we'd better take the initiative to do more things, and don't let the Ji family hate you." We. Try to make Xiao Cai and A Xiao two little guys stay here more comfortably. If there is something, we should take care of it."

"No problem, but I suggest that it would be even better if we can borrow some books from Ji's family to read. A Xiao and Xiao Cai should also read some enlightenment books."

"A Xiao knows a lot of things. I guess she received a good education when she was at home, but Xiao Cai has to learn more from A Xiao."

A group of friends also relaxed, and began to discuss the life of the next year.

"Little guests, hot water is here." At this moment, the door was called from outside the yard, and Liu Xiaohu and the others rushed to the yard, opened the gate, helped carry water, and took the burden they sent.

"Several little guests, there is a small river outside the backyard. I suggest you go to the small river to fetch some cold water to make a change. Otherwise, the water will be a little hot. The bucket is next to the door of the backyard, and there is another Big vat, the water you use in your daily life can also be picked from the river and poured into the vat." A servant said cheerfully.

"Okay, thank you uncle." Liu Xiaohu replied politely.The middle-aged uncle ordered people to move the things into the yard and then left.

"Xiao Cai, Ah Xiao, you guys wash first. Let's get you some cold water." Liu Xiaohu helped two little girls move the bathtub into a small room.A few big ones lifted the water tank and got it outside to wash it clean.Several people rushed to fill a tank of cold water and put it in the house.He brought in the hot water again.Then he left happily.

"The river is not deep, and there is no one around. Let's go to the river and wash up."

"Take Zhuang Zhuang and wash him off."

"Okay!" The voices of several people got farther and farther away.

Fang Xiao moved a small stool, stood on it, pulled Liu Xiaocai over, and washed her hair first.Take out the saponins she found in the woods, and make a big basin of bubble water.

When Fang Xiao washed her hair and soaked it in the bathtub, she felt comfortable all over her bones.

When the whole group changed into new clothes, the old man who left also came back. He looked at the clean children, nodded with a smile, and said, "Call me Uncle Ji, I am the third housekeeper of the Ji family. When I see the Patriarch later, what did the Patriarch ask, what did you answer, and what did the Patriarch ask you to do, you have to act quickly and not be lazy, understand?"

Fang Xiao frowned, she didn't want to be a slave of Ji's family, she just lived in Ji's house temporarily.Listening to this now, it seems that they are going to be taken as slaves.However, it is not easy for her to ask more questions at the moment, so she can only take one step, which counts as one step.

After waiting outside the main house for more than half an hour, Uncle Ji came out. He waved to Fang Xiao and the others, and said, "The Patriarch has eaten, you can come in." The child's stomach growled uncontrollably.Uncle Ji was taken aback, and then laughed, "After the Patriarch asks, you can go to the dining hall to eat."

Liu Xiaohu took the lead and followed Uncle Ji into the house. The smell of food in the room hadn't completely dissipated.A middle-aged man sat directly above, and beside him sat a beautiful woman.She was sipping the tea in her hand.

Below the middle-aged man, sat three boys aged sixteen or seventeen, and they all held tea and sipped slowly.And at the base of the beautiful woman, a well-behaved little girl was staring at the group of people who walked in with a pair of curious big eyes.

"Let me tell the Patriarch, Madam, these children are what this old slave said. They have very good aptitude, and there is a great possibility that they will be able to get into the Heavenly Sword Sect." As soon as Ji Bo entered the door, he rushed Looking at the two people sitting on the main seat, they bowed and said.Liu Xiaohu and his party also bowed together with Ji Bo.

"Well, raise your head and let me see." The head of the family nodded and said to the group who bowed their heads.

The children all raised their heads and looked at the middle-aged man curiously.The middle-aged man asked: "What's your name? How old are you? Tell me one by one."

Liu Xiaohu took a step forward, bowed and said: "My name is Liu Xiaohu. I am fourteen this year. They are all brothers in my family. Liu Xiaoshan is 12 years old this year, and Liu Dazhuang is 11 years old this year..." Liu Xiaohu stood here The people, introduced them one by one.Finally, he pointed to Fang Xiao and Liu Xiaocai and said, "These are my two younger sisters, Xiao Xiao and Xiao Cai, and they are only six years old this year."

"They all belong to the same family? Why did you come here, where are the adults in your family?" Patriarch Ji asked in surprise.

"Our hometown was hit by a natural disaster this year, and there was no harvest in the field. Our whole family had to relocate. However, there were too many refugees on the road, and we were playful and lost with the adults at home. However, my adults said, let We came to Tianjian City to wait for them, so we had no choice but to come here." Liu Xiaohu said what everyone had made up together.Here, those who are not familiar with the place, it is impossible for others to welcome a bunch of troubles into the house, so it is better for them to stay here as disaster victims.In order to prevent the Ji family from bullying them too much, it would be better if an adult would come to them.So, they came up with such a set of rhetoric.

"Since the adults of your family asked you to come to Tianjian City, there must be someone he knows in the city. You can tell me who that person is, so I can help you find it." Patriarch Ji asked calmly. .

"My father only told us to come to Tianjian City, but didn't tell us who to look for in Tianjian City. We didn't dare to stay outside the city alone, so we had to find a way to enter the city and wait. If they arrive, we will He will come to look for us. At that time, our adults will definitely thank Patriarch Ji for taking care of us." Liu Xiaohu said.

"When will they come? I might as well send someone to the city gate to inquire about the news." Patriarch Ji asked.

"We don't know when they will come back. A few of us fell into a cave and climbed out for several days. After we got out, the refugees disappeared. We came over the mountain directly in order to hurry. Say." Liu Xiaohu said.

"Since this is the case, you can stay in my house with peace of mind. However, you have to abide by the rules of my house. The third housekeeper will explain the rules clearly to you. You also know why I took you in. When the time comes , I hope you can win at least three places. Otherwise, you will not be able to bear the consequences."

"Yes, we know that in the days to come, we must practice hard and not be lazy." Liu Xiaohu said.Patriarch Ji waved his hand, wanting Liu Xiaohu and the others to retreat.

"Mother, I want the two of them to be my maids." A crisp voice suddenly sounded, and the little girl who was sitting there without saying a word suddenly jumped off the chair and walked in front of Fang Xiao and Liu Xiaocai .He tilted his head and looked at the two little girls.

Liu Xiaohu narrowed his eyes, pulled the two little girls behind him, and was about to speak, when Liu Xiaoshan said with a smile: "Miss Ji, my two younger sisters are too young to wait on others. Miss Ji must be annoyed, Miss Ji should find someone else."

"Daddy, I want them two to be my maids!" Miss Ji ignored Liu Xiaoshan, but ran to Patriarch Ji, pulled Patriarch Wei's sleeve, and acted coquettishly.

Patriarch Ji immediately had a smile on his face, touched Miss Ji's head, and said with a smile: "Both will be girls for you, they can't be forced if they don't want to. However, it's okay to play with you on weekdays."

"No, no, Sister Xiaoyan has two such big maidservants, I want it, I want it too." Miss Ji tugged on Patriarch Ji's sleeve, acting petty.

Patriarch Ji looked at Fang Xiao and Liu Xiaocai with some embarrassment, coughed lightly, and said, "Two little girls, I wonder if you would like to spend more time with the little girl, there is only one girl in the family, and her brothers are all older than her." Much better, on weekdays, she rarely has a playmate of the same age, why don't you just stay with her."

"I don't want two servants to play with me. It's good to have Sister Xiaoyan to play with me. I only need two maids. Daddy, just promise me." Miss Ji refused to let go.

"My sisters, don't be other people's maids. If Patriarch Ji insists that my two younger sisters be your maids, then we will leave now." Liu Xiaohu said immediately.

"That's right, let's leave."

"We can raise our sister when we go out!" The other little guys also whispered.

Patriarch Ji narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly: "Xiao Fei, don't be rude! You can't force others if you don't want to. You like maids. Tomorrow, Dad will send someone to find two for you. These two Miss Liu , you better not force them. You go down, I hope you can really win three places for my Ji family to come back next year."
