Chapter 38 Fighting
Since Lu Jianguo restricted the number of times the restaurant was turned on, once the restaurant was turned on twenty times, no food was served in the store, so the exiled immortals' mansion would close very early.
It will be around four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and the guests will end one after another.
It was also at this time that Chen Cong told Lu Jianguo that his stomach hurt and then pretended to run to the cottage.
"Go." Lu Jianguo approved him without any hesitation, although he had already penetrated Chen Cong's true thoughts.
As soon as Chen Cong left the door, Qi Xiaomao put the work in his hand aside, "Shopkeeper, I'll go to the yard to split some firewood."
"Go."
Qi Xiaomao chased after him in two steps. He was going to supervise Chen Cong, and Lu Jianguo also understood this in his heart.
The back door in the yard is locked on weekdays, and only Lu Jianguo has the key.
However, there are half a person-high firewood piled up in the southeast corner of the yard. Just climb up the pile of firewood and you can easily climb out of the yard wall.
So at this time, Chen Cong stood by the pile of firewood.
He looked around. If he hadn't heard Qi Xiaomao's footsteps, he would have slipped out now.
"Aren't you going to the cottage?" Qi Xiaomao stood in the middle of the yard with her arms in her arms, questioning, "What are you doing when you stand there? Do you want to pull it in your pants?"
"What does it matter to you?" Chen Cong retreated from the pile of firewood, "I warn you, you'd better keep in mind my business."
"Hmph." Qi Xiaomao sneered: "You only have your tricks, do you think others can't see through it?"
"One day you will know that there will be no good end to go against me."
"What are you doing when you say so much nonsense? Aren't you going to the cottage?"
"Yes, I'm going to go to the cottage." Chen Cong nodded angrily, then clenched his fists and entered the cottage.
The rhythmic sound of chopping wood came from the yard.
Obviously, Qi Xiaomao didn't plan to leave. He would chop firewood in the yard for as long as he stayed in the toilet.
He insisted on being in trouble with himself!
Chen Cong became more and more angry the more he thought about it. If he didn't go to the appointment today, Su Baoqing would definitely not spare him easily. He had to think of a way to get out as soon as possible.
But there is no way!
This Qi Xiaomao is like a piece of dog skin plaster, and you can't even shake it off even if you stick it to your body!
He didn't plan to stay in the cottage anymore.
He rushed out in a furious manner.
"Oh, it will be solved so soon." Qi Xiaomao sneered: "I thought you were going to pull it until tomorrow morning."
"Hmph, then you're thinking too much."
While speaking, Chen Cong caught a glimpse of a small stone on the ground. He walked over slowly and then flew up.
The stone shot out with a "swoosh"!
Qi Xiaomao couldn't react and felt a chill on his forehead.
Fortunately, my accurate head was a little worse. The stone was wiping through the tips of the seven-haired eyebrows, leaving only an inch-long blood sliver.
"My God, you uncle!"
Qi Xiaomao wiped his forehead, then swung the axe on his hand, and rushed over with a loud bang.
After knocking Chen Cong down, he rode on him. The two of them fought together, and it was difficult to separate them.
But when it comes to fighting, Chen Cong is obviously not the opponent of Qi Xiaomao, and he will only be beaten soon.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
A short and powerful pounding sound appeared, and the two of them looked back at the same time.
Lu Jianguo stood at the window upstairs, his expression was quite stern. It was obvious that the knocking sound just now was made by him.
His figure disappeared from the window and soon appeared in the yard.
At this time, Qi Xiaomao and Shen Cong were still tangling each other.
"I've had enough fun."
He deliberately used the word "play" instead of "beating", because he did not want to raise the conflict between the two to an irreconcilable level.
Then, he shouted in a tone that was several times stronger than before, "Don't let go!"
The two of them were instantly shocked, and each bounced from the ground, and stood aside with their heads down.
They thought that Lu Jianguo would scold them fiercely next, but things were not as they expected.
"You." Lu Jianguo looked at Chen Cong and said, "Go to the wine shop we ordered, order more wine, and the price will be calculated based on the previous ones, so they can send a friend to the cabinet to pick it up."
"But..." Qi Xiaomao was about to say something.
But Lu Jianguo interrupted without any mercy: "Don't talk for now."
Chen Cong was stunned. He couldn't figure it out anyway. He tried every means to sneak out but failed. Now that he has made a mistake, the shopkeeper has sent him a good job and let him go out.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you do anything?"
Lu Jianguo's voice is much lower than usual, and it makes people feel even more panicked.
"Yes, yes, I'll go now!" After Chen Cong agreed, he hurriedly left the restaurant from the main entrance.
"Shopkeeper?" Qi Xiaomao looked confused, "How could you let him go like this? He is going to do something bad."
"I know." Lu Jianguo carried his hands behind his back, his eyes still staying in the direction of Shen Cong's departure. "I know everything that happened last night."
"What? Do you know?" Qi Xiaomao was startled, and then said: "Since you know, you still..."
"Let him go, I will deal with the next thing."
Qi Xiaomao wanted to say something, but suddenly, a warm and heavy palm pressed on his shoulder.
"I like you very much, my loyalty, courage and kindness."
"Shopkeeper, why did you suddenly say this?" Qi Xiaomao scratched his head at a loss. His appearance was shy and a little funny.
Lu Jianguo smiled, "The wound on his head is not in the way."
"It's okay, just scratch the skin and it'll be fine in a while."
"That's good." Lu Jianguo nodded, "I have another important thing to leave to you."
"Shopkeeper, just give me the order."
"Can you catch a train?"
“Yes.”
"Yes." Lu Jianguo continued: "Catch the carriage and go to the countryside to collect a truck of barley malt. If one person doesn't have enough staff, you can hire two more helpers from outside and I will pay the price together."
Hire two helpers.
As soon as he heard this, Qi Xiaomao immediately thought of his two friends, Wang Dazhuang and Cheng Zengzhu.
So I agreed happily.
Lu Jianguo meant this. Qi Xiaomao was upright and kind, and his two friends must be good. If they brought back the two boys they had seen before, they would definitely become Qi Xiaomao's very effective helpers.
"Remember, it's best to come back before dark. If the malt is not enough, it's the same for a few more bags of wheat to come back."
"Don't worry, the shopkeeper, it's only 60 miles back and forth. If I drive the car, I'll be able to come back before dark."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
"I understand, the shopkeeper!"
