The devil relies on the cat

Chapter 11 Woodcutter Bai Jiujiu
"Miss Ruo Ling needs water, hurry up and fill this tank with water!" Then she threw a wooden bucket to Bai Jiujiu's feet, urging her.

Bai Jiujiu didn't dare to refuse and bent down to carry the bucket. Although she didn't know where to fetch water, she was even more afraid of the knife-like eyes of the two.So he turned around with the bucket and ran regardless.

"Are you stupid and blind? The well is right here, what are you doing there?" Widow Chen became angry when she saw that Bai Jiujiu was stunned and timid.If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't reach it now, I really couldn't help but climb up the cane again.

Seeing Bai Jiujiu's dazed look, the maid immediately sneered.Then he turned to Widow Chen and asked for a replacement: "Aunt Chen, I think you should give her another job. With the water she provided, we are really worried that we will get a rash when we take a bath."

"This..." Widow Chen was in a dilemma.Substitution?Now that he is idle, who else can be at his mercy?

Seeing Widow Chen's dilemma, the little girl knew that she didn't want to carry the water herself.He didn't order her either, just turned the corner of his eyes in a certain direction.

"Isn't there someone chopping firewood behind the house? Why don't you ask them to switch jobs?"

Widow Chen immediately slapped her forehead: "Yes, look at my brain. Liao Er is still smart!"

Then he ordered to Bai Jiujiu: "You, go to the back of the house to chop firewood. In addition, replace Liu San who is chopping firewood with water."

Bai Jiujiu didn't know if she was tired of carrying water.All she knew was the ax that was stuck in front of the branch for chopping wood, and she couldn't pick it up with one hand.He tried his best to raise his hands, but barely raised them.

Well, it's just a tank of water.According to Liu San's appearance, he is much stronger than his senior brother.So it shouldn't take a while to fill up a tank of water, right?Then, you can change yourself back.

Thinking truthfully, Jiujiu stopped lifting the ax with effort.Instead, he sat on the ground, bent a branch and started drawing on the ground.

What are you drawing?Originally, she really wanted to draw a portrait of the God of War, but it was a pity that she only drew a face, and her thoughts unconsciously jumped to eating.So, chicken legs, flat peaches, wine, fish... all appeared on the mud floor in a short while.

"Good girl! I told you to chop firewood, but you're here lazily playing with mud!"

Bai Jiujiu was drawing the fleshy, white, tender, fragrant, and steaming things that she saw on the street this morning, and she jumped three feet high in fright with a loud roar.

"No, no, I'm not being lazy. I didn't chop wood because I didn't have the ability to chop wood." Jiujiu corrected immediately reflexively.

I remember that whether it is a master or a brother, they all taught themselves to "do what we can".So, hard work like chopping firewood is really not suitable for her, Bai Jiujiu!

"Okay, you don't have to do things you don't think you can do!" Widow Chen squinted at the food-filled ground with a sneer at the corner of her mouth, and she didn't even bother to whip her, "Then you can draw cakes to satisfy your hunger!"

I don't know why, when Bai Jiujiu heard the word "cake", she felt very empty in her stomach, and all kinds of cakes appeared in her mind, round, flat, sweet, salty, whatever you want Sample.The greedy saliva can't help but flow down.It's a pity that a painting is a painting after all, no matter how many or good the paintings are, you can't eat or smell them.

"Sister, can you give me an edible pancake?" Bai Jiujiu was so hungry because he hadn't touched food for a long time.Now, in order to relieve her gluttony, she even forgot her fears, and looked directly at Widow Chen who was still holding the cane, proactively and expectantly.All she wanted was to ask for a cake that made her salivate.

"You want to eat pancakes?" Widow Chen laughed, this silly girl dared to ask herself what she wanted to eat when she was not working!
Swept by Widow Chen's playful and cruel eyes, Jiujiu immediately felt that there seemed to be something wrong, so she quickly changed her words: "Steamed stuffed buns and muffins are fine."

Widow Chen was completely annoyed by Bai Jiujiu's stupidity: "Eat your sister, eat! You can't eat a grain of rice or a noodle until you finish chopping this pile of firewood!"

Most of the firewood in the oxcart, let alone Bai Jiujiu, even Liu San, who was in charge of chopping firewood, didn't have the ability to finish it before lunch.Therefore, under the cruelty of Widow Chen, Bai Jiujiu, who has never touched Yang Chunshui with her ten fingers, is doomed to miss the big cake that has tantalized her appetite for a long time today.

Fortunately, she didn't stay so hungry all the time, because the fat aunt who went and came back suddenly came to see her in the kitchen.Although the fat aunt neutrally neither blamed Jiujiu nor anyone in Chunyuelou, she left a piece of pear flower cake for Jiujiu.This raised Jiujiu's affection for Aunt Fat again.

What Jiujiu looked forward to even more was that before she left, the fat aunt not only took care of herself to be obedient, but also left a sentence that she could always recall - "I will come to see you again in a few days".

While chopping firewood, Jiujiu ruminated on the piece of pastry just now, and found it extremely delicious.It seems that the strength in the hands has also increased a lot, and the lifting of the ax is no longer so tiring, and the standing legs no longer have the feeling of floating.The speed of chopping wood is also slightly faster.

Finally, when it was dark, Widow Chen walked to Jiujiu with a bowl of white rice and a few green vegetables on it.I didn't put it down properly, and it fell heavily on the ground.If it wasn't for the lack of food, she would probably have been shocked by Almighty.

"If it weren't for Liu San's chopping a lot earlier, there would be no fire for dinner today!" Widow Chen was obviously angry.Why do you think her kitchen is filled with such stupid and incompetent people?Just now, the cheap hand took a little money from the fat aunt, and promised to guarantee her a meal every day.Alas, otherwise, I really want to starve her to see if she can still be as incapable of working as she is today.

Jiujiu saw that Widow Chen had a long face, and she didn't dare to pick up the bowls and chopsticks because she was thinking about her injuries.Just obediently observe the nose, the nose and the heart, and be taught by the master as if he had done something wrong, and follow his spittle.

And when Widow Chen saw Jiujiu's cute face, her anger slowly subsided.Moreover, because Lei Pang asked for leave in the past two days, the already tense staff in the kitchen became more tired, and even she, the kitchen manager, was busy a lot, so now she saves a little effort as much as she can.After all, as a woman, especially in a place full of beauties like Chunyue Tower, she doesn't want to see herself aging prematurely.

Therefore, after Widow Chen's accusations in a few words, she stopped scaring Jiujiu with the cane, and went back to the house to rest while yawning.Alas, it's only one night, and tomorrow it will be bright, but I have to get up early to supervise them to work.Being a woman is not easy, and being a self-reliant woman like her is even more labor-intensive.

Jiujiu was devouring the few meals in the bowl, while her thoughts were spinning rapidly.How to do how to do?This firewood seems to have been split by myself.If it's really too late, can I still have a second bowl of rice?

Liu Ye's crooked brows were tightly frowned, and the more she frowned, the more she frowned, and the bowl became empty.It didn't take long to eat upside down.

"No! You have to find a way to say anything!" Holding the bowl in his arms, he was stunned facing the starry night sky.

I once remembered that Master said that there is nothing in this world that cannot be solved, it depends on whether you really want to solve it.

But here, in the main building in the most glorious area of ​​Chunyue Building, the lights are bright and the wine is intertwined.The male and the female are charming, hooking shoulders and backs, hugging and hugging, it is a happy picture of the bliss of the world.

However, there are two tortoises at the door, but it is very stressful.Listen to the instructions of Mama Cai and Miss Ruoling, have you been guarding Prince Chai here for a day?Normally, he should have appeared long ago, why didn't he come today?
