Rainbow Moon Seeking Immortality.

Chapter 5
At this moment, after getting off the stilt building and walking in the fields, Lao Xu straightened his back, held his head high, and held the food box with his hands behind his back, looking calm.

When men who are busy planting rice in the rice fields see him passing by, they will stand up and shout respectfully:
"Hello Mr. Xu!"

After one or two calls, Fang slowly opened his eyes as if he was asleep, nodded with a smile, waved his hand, and was full of airs, completely losing his submissiveness in the stilt building.

"Okay, okay, hard work!"

The gray old cloth shoes are now covered with mud, and the soles are covered with a thick layer of 'mud pads'. The trouser legs are inevitably stained with mud, but they still stand proudly on the field ridge, and the bare feet soaked in the muddy fields, In sharp contrast.

Obviously they are all accompanied by mud, but they are different...

Along the way, farmers asked about water distribution from time to time, but they were vague.

Then he left slowly under the complicated gaze of everyone.

Some are melancholy, some are ignorant, some are envious, but no one dares to show dissatisfaction.

Back at the door, more people came to inquire about the news from Lao Xu. On both sides of the door, there was a lot of people, like birds standing on the branches, rustling, mostly women.

Seeing Lao Xu returning with a food box, everyone gathered around and greeted him with concern.

"Mr. Xu is back! Did Mr. Jiang He enjoy his meal? Yesterday, we had freshly fried peanuts and gave them to you for dinner and dinner..."

"Mr. Xu is busy delivering food to Master Gu Master. I'm afraid you haven't eaten it yourself? I brought you some steamed buns stuffed with meat and cabbage. You can take them!"

"Uncle Xu, my father invites you to play chess. When are you free?"

Lao Xu took the meat buns and suddenly felt a soft feeling in his left arm. He turned around and saw that the girl was already close to him, causing the other women to roll their eyes.

"Ahem!" Lao Xu struggled hard twice before getting out of the opponent's arms, "Another day, another day!"

The girl, however, refused to give up. She followed Lao Xu and talked with others until she had dealt with several women and sent them away. She decided to play chess the next day and left in annoyance.

However, Lao Xu also had a few more cloth bags in his hand, with cooked melon seeds, dried sweet potatoes and fresh eggs, all produced by the farmer.It was given by the women who were competing for water, and begged him to give it in front of the Gu Master so that their fields could be irrigated first.

After placing the bags, Lao Xu sat on the stone steps in front of the door, smoking a dry cigarette and looking into the distance.

The three green and black stone slabs have been stepped on by villagers and become as smooth as silk. The mud-stained cloth shoes lean on the side, together with the rising green smoke, confirming the glory that belongs to the owner alone.

I recall that a few years ago, his house was deserted and no one cared about it.

Suddenly, he was surrounded by people and became the most important person in the village!

All this was because he found the right temple and worshiped the right god.

There are also people in the village who are jealous or scolding behind their backs, but this doesn't matter.

It is the greatest honor to be the Gu Master’s dog!

Because I am responsible for the food of the Gu Master, I can meet and talk to him every day, and he is deeply trusted.

Lively scenes like this just now are not common, but during spring plowing and autumn harvest, there are many people asking him to do things and send messages.

Even if there is no request, he will give some small gifts, just hoping that he will not speak ill of his family in front of the Gu Master.

He squeaked in his mouth, took two strong breaths, and exhaled green smoke.

He raised his right foot and rubbed the callus on the sole of his foot. It was yellow and thick, even thicker than an ordinary farm boy.

In fact, after becoming Lord Gu Master Jiang He's attendant and helping to manage the village, he could gain a lot of money just from the villagers' bribes.

The Gu Master eats meat, but he can also drink soup from the tiger skin.

There are a few cumulus clouds floating above the blue sky, with the fiery red sun embedded in them, casting down the unique warm sunshine of spring, as bright as a rainbow.

After smoking out a cigarette quickly, Lao Xu banged his pipe on the stone steps and cleaned up the ashes.

He put on his cloth shoes again, stood up and looked up, and suddenly saw two figures walking on the field ridge, heading towards his home.

When he saw who was coming, Lao Xu's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he stopped where he was, waiting for the other party to arrive.

"Old man Xu, old lady, I'm here again, haha." Old Xu disagreed. The purpose of Mrs. Du's arrival was self-evident.

"What did Master Jiang He say? Did you mention those little beasts?"

When she thought of the third son of the Orion Zhao family who pushed her into the river, Mrs. Du unconsciously gritted her teeth, revealing several black and yellow teeth that looked like black beans.

"Hey!" Lao Xu sighed softly and excused himself: "Master Jiang He has many things to do. He is busy inspecting the village and spring plowing matters. I am just a food delivery boy. I can't talk. I really can't deal with you, Mrs. Du!"

After saying this, Lao Xu felt coy and uneasy, with an angry expression on his face.

Holding the pipe under his arm, he fumbled with his right hand in his pocket and slowly took out half a piece of gray Yuanshi, which looked like a pebble, and handed it to the other party with the palm of his hand.

"Well, since the matter is not done, I will return this half piece of Yuan Stone to you, take it!"

Mrs. Du didn't change her expression, but forced half of the Yuan Stone into Lao Xu's hand, clasping her fingers to hold it down.

"This matter of fighting for land requires your help, Lao Xu. If we can't even live up to our decades-old friendship, then my family will probably starve to death."

"Tsk, this matter..." Old Xu smacked his lips, looking sad and embarrassed.

Seeing this, Madam Du gritted her teeth and quickly handed over another half of the Yuan Stone, finally squeezing it into the palm of her hand.

Lao Xu's face remained as before, his wrist turned slightly, and he weighed it secretly.

After a moment's hesitation, Lao Xu responded, "Okay, I'll tell Mr. Jiang He another day."

When Mrs. Du left, Lao Xu held two and a half Yuan stones and rubbed them in his palms, making a creaking sound.

The two half pieces of Yuan Stone are pieced together along the edges to form a complete Yuan Stone, which fits perfectly and is natural.

"Hmph, if you want to take something, give it first, nothing better than this!"

After putting away the Yuan Stone, Lao Xu lit up a cigarette again, smoked it, and left the house.

……

"...I have made the request clear. This is Lord Jiang He's order. If it cannot be completed on time, be careful of your anger! Of course, if you do well, there will be rewards..."

On a bluestone where the ridges of fields meet, Old Xu was talking eloquently and using threats and inducements.

All around the bluestone were farm men carrying hoes, listening silently under the rising sun. Confusion, dissatisfaction and anger were vividly displayed on the page, but they seemed to be used to it, and no one dared to speak out.

On the periphery of the crowd, two figures looked different.

Unlike others who looked pale, their pale faces were rosy and energetic.

After everyone dispersed, the two of them walked together. It was Ergou and Li Liu, the king of the east of the village.

"Brother Ergou, this old man Xu is pretending to be a tiger again!"

"Tch, ignore him. Master Gu Master is short of wood, and we can't help him."

Wang Ergou held foxtail grass in his mouth and looked at it with disdain.

"Yes!" Li Liu nodded in agreement, "However, I went to take a look and found that there were not many households in the village that I could attack. Yesterday, I stole too much from Qian Si's house. Many houses had their windows sealed, so there was no chance! "

Hearing the complaint in Li Liu's words, Wang Ergou choked, "Huh, isn't it because of your bedridden old lady? If you don't steal more, can you collect the money for her next soup and medicine?"

Li Liu couldn't deny it.

Wang Ergou put his arms around each other's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, brother, you have a mother to save, and I have two brothers to raise. It's not easy.

However, I do have an idea, and there is another one that you and I can start with!Just go slower. "

"Who?" Li Liu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Old Man Wang's house by the village!"
