Nongmen scholar

Chapter 4
"Master? I don't think you are a master but a dandy!" Gu Xiaobei said bluntly.

Playboy?Bai Qingli's mouth twitched slightly, it seemed that he had gone too far today, by the way, it must be the fault of those two dogs!Otherwise, why am I so embarrassed and lose my sense of self?
Thinking so in my heart, but my mouth kept saying: "Little sister, you haven't said who you are yet."

"Don't call me little sister." Why does he feel uncomfortable when he calls her like that, by the way, it's like the feeling of those bums harassing girls in today's society. Feeling disgusted, he said in a vicious voice, "My name is Gu Xiaobei."

"Gu Xiaobei? From the Gu family at the west end of the village?" Only then did Bai Qingli remember that there was a family named Gu in the village. They had no parents, only four brothers and sisters, and that little girl had always been sick and rarely went out. From the looks of it, it was the little girl, but although the little girl in front of her looked a little thin and pale, she was still very energetic, not like a sick child at all.

"It's the Gu family at the west end of the village." After washing the clothes on the stone, Gu Xiaobei reached out to get the clothes in the wooden bucket, but she was too far away to get them. Just as she was about to get off the stone, the boy moved the wooden bucket vigorously. Come over and get closer to Gu Xiaobei.

Gu Xiaobei was taken aback, this kid didn't seem that bad, he reached out to pick up some dirty clothes and said, "Thank you."

"No thanks, it's easy to do." Bai Qingli said without thinking.

"Pfft!" Gu Xiaobei couldn't help laughing out loud.

Only then did Bai Qingli come to his senses, what he just used was his feet, not his hands!A little embarrassed but still stubbornly defended: "I mean, my feet are as flexible as hands, and they can be used as hands." After finishing speaking, I immediately praised myself for being flexible. Although it was exaggerated, it finally turned around. words.

Gu Xiaobei laughed again: "Then can you eat with your feet?"

Bai Qingli was stunned for a moment, almost fainted, he didn't answer Gu Xiaobei's words, he shook his head and said: "It's not good for a girl to have a sharp mouth."

"What's none of your business? Hey! Are you too idle? You wander around and don't teach in a private school. Does anyone in the village know?" Gu Xiaobei rinsed the washed clothes one by one, wringed them dry and put them on the wood. In buckets.

"I know, it's the busy farming season, and the children are going home to help the family, so I don't have to teach." Although he was surprised why Gu Xiaobei asked such a question, Bai Qingli replied proudly.

"Why did that dog chase you just now!" Gu Xiaobei asked while doing laundry.

Hearing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Bai Qingli's handsome face, and he said with a sneer, "Maybe this dog came after me because he saw I was good-looking." He would never tell others that he came here to avoid a fool. How embarrassing to be chased so far after hiding in a hunter's house and disturbing that house's hounds!
But he can't be blamed for this, every time he went to visit his friend in the neighboring village, he was chased by that idiot, and it didn't make sense to reason with her, and he didn't beat women, so he had no choice but to avoid it.

"It's the first time I've heard of being chased by a dog because of its good looks." Gu Xiaobei obviously didn't believe it, but he didn't ask, "But I can teach you a way to deal with the dog chasing you. If there is a dog chasing you in the future, you should squat down. The dog thinks that you are going to pick up stones and throw them, and it will not dare to approach you. Of course, if you can, you'd better hold a stick in your hand."

Bai Qingli nodded, thinking to herself that this little girl who rarely goes out knows a lot.

After wringing out all the washed clothes, Gu Xiaobei heaved a sigh of relief, stood up straight and picked up the wooden bucket and walked home. Bai Qingli immediately looked at the other side when she saw her leaving, and followed her closely with lingering fear.

After washing, even though it was wrung out, there was still a lot of water, and the clothes in the barrel were much heavier than when they came, so Gu Xiaobei stopped to rest after walking a few steps.

"Hey! Put it down, I'll lift it up for you." Bai Qingli, who was following behind, couldn't help but groan.

Gu Xiaobei looked back at his not very strong body, his eyes were full of doubts, isn't there a saying that a scholar who is useless is a scholar?
The questioning in Gu Xiaobei's eyes made Bai Qingli very upset, he reached out and snatched the wooden barrel from Gu Xiaobei's hand, and quickly rushed towards the west of the village.

"Hey, slow down, don't fall down, I just washed this clothes with great difficulty!" Gu Xiaobei from behind hurriedly shouted and chased after him.

When Bai Qingli in front heard that she was walking faster, she was annoyed in her heart that this little girl only cared about clothes and not people.

"Hey, isn't this Gu Xiaobei? You're a sick child who still wanders around, can you afford to give your illness to someone else?" When the two of them reached a fork in the road, a sharp voice suddenly sounded.

The two raised their heads and looked hurriedly. A middle-aged village woman with a short, fat face was walking towards this intersection from the other road with a gloomy face. It turned out to be Uncle Gu Xiaobei's daughter-in-law, Sun Lan, who seemed to have just arrived. When I came back from washing, I was holding a tub full of clothes in my hand.

This Sun Lan is both greedy and mean. Before Gu Xiaobei's father, Gu Changming, his family was relatively rich, so Sun Lan would go to their house to get things from time to time.

Gu Changming honestly didn't pursue too much. At that time, Gu Xiaobei's mother Bai He was still there, and Bai He had the same personality as Sun Lan. The two often fought, and they were the sisters-in-law with the worst relationship in the village. It got worse and worse, until after Gu Changming died and Bai He ran away, Sun Lan still hated them.

When Gu Xiaobei heard this, he immediately stared fiercely at Sun who was slowly approaching, his eyes were sharp and cold, and Sun Lan, who had always been used to being fierce and aggressive, couldn't help but shiver.

Gu Xiaobei sneered, and said contemptuously: "Whose fat pig ran out of the stall?"

Bai Qingli next to him burst out laughing.

"Gu Xiaobei, how dare you call me a fat pig! You don't want to live anymore?" Sun Lan rushed over angrily, pointed at Gu Xiaobei's nose and cursed.

"Did I scold you, Auntie?" Gu Xiaobei turned around in surprise and looked at Bai Qingli, who was watching the play, and said, "Did you hear me scolding her?"

Bai Qingli cooperated, put down the wooden barrel in his hand, lazily leaned against the tree, looked at Sun Lan with a smile, and said: "I didn't hear you scolding your eldest aunt, I heard you scolded Fatty Pig, unless..." At this point, he paused inexplicably, and turned his head away, as if he couldn't bear to look directly at something.

Bai Qingli, who was wearing a white robe just now fell into the water, his clothes are still a little wet and wrinkled, but his expression is magnanimous, his posture is romantic, and his expression of being a good boy, coupled with that weird expression, makes Sun Lan feel like he is real. It was an unsightly beast, which stained the eyes of this exile-like son.

"Unless Auntie admits that you are a fat pig." Gu Xiaobei immediately took Bai Qingli's words.

"You!" Sun Lan was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He could hardly speak for a while, but he was not slow in his hands. He dropped the wooden basin in his hand and strode forward. His fat hands were facing Gu Xiaobei's pale face. Just fan over.
