Chapter 17 Useless effort
Chapter 17 Useless
"When I was helping, I heard from some villagers that the thief was attacked by Chief Qi Li."
"When the thief entered the village, Qi Lichang's family surrendered directly and helped the thief distinguish the personnel from each small family."
After eating and drinking, Geng Wa, who was idle, began to tell the gossip she heard.
This news is exciting, but it's not nonsense.
Yesterday, the thieves let a clerk let him send a message. It was reasonable to let the boatman go and let him take a boat, but it would be unreasonable to let the head of Qi Lichang.
If you have another knife, it is unreasonable to kill the surrendered tax. When you are ruthless, you will suddenly become kind in Qilichang.
"I also heard that the thieves just now announced that as long as the whole family believes in Maitreya Buddha and sends a young and strong man to join the Longhua Society, they can avoid this year's filial piety." Geng Wa continued.
"Qi Shutang has joined?" Yu Zhibo said curiously.
"That's not to say that Qi Shutang's family was also plundered by thieves." Geng Wa shook her head.
I don’t know how many dirty things there are. Qi Lichang, Longhuahui, Dianli, Qi Shutang, and the thief are entangled in many ways, and maybe they can write a long storybook.
It just made the villagers of Qijia Village suffer in vain.
After a while, the noise outside gradually subsided. It was probably Qi Shutang who controlled the scene, otherwise the angry villagers would definitely rush in to cause trouble.
Sure enough, Qi Shutang walked in before waiting.
"I'm really slow to treat my three benefactors today. I'm asking people to serve them."
"No need, the three of us are full, it's getting late, we have to go back quickly, otherwise it will be dark and it will be difficult to sail." Yu Zhihai stood up and said goodbye.
"Or why don't you stay here today. I've already asked someone to clean up the guest room." Qi Shutang saw that the three boxes of silver ingots on the table were not moved, and the three of them had no intention of taking them away, and their faces looked a little ugly.
"No more trouble. I told my family that I would go back today. If I don't go back, my family will definitely be worried." Yu Zhihai continued to refuse: "Put these three boxes away. I believe Qijia Village will definitely need these money in the disaster."
"That's true, I'm so grateful to all three."
Qi Shutang sent the three of them to the door and planned to continue seeing each other, but Yu Zhihai refused once and returned home with a dark face.
It doesn't matter to the three of them. The next time they meet, they may be enemies, so there is no need to keep their face.
Walking in Qijia Village, many families have already started to build mourning halls in their yards, and white sails are hung in the entire village.
The villagers were either immersed in grief or busy, but no one cared about the three life-saving benefactors.
"It's still the hero who is free and easy." Geng Wa sighed.
There are several layers of meaning in this sentence, and it is hard for his brain to think it out.
"You want money from dead people, too." Yu Zhibo retorted.
"I'm not talking about this, I'm saying that the hero left after finishing his work." Geng Wa felt a little embarrassed.
"We are going home now. You will follow me to do things tomorrow. Although you can't be a hero, it's okay to let you and your family have enough food and clothing." Yu Zhibo invited.
"Really?" Geng Wa was very surprised.
After this day, he had fully realized that Yu Zhibo's extraordinaryness was completely different from his previous performance in the village.
If you have such a capable person to take care of yourself, the worst is not worse than now.
"Really, let your aunt take your younger brother and sister to farm the land at home. When the farming is busy, you are allowed to go home to help. I guarantee that you will earn no less than 2 taels of silver every month, and I will make up for it if you lose it."
"How can you be so embarrassed?" Geng Wa was so happy that she couldn't even close her mouth when she heard this treatment.
"The treatment is so good? How about I follow you?" Yu Zhihai joked beside him. He did not doubt Yu Zhibo's ability to make money.
"Of course, if Brother Hai helps me, I will give you 3 taels of silver a month."
While speaking, Yu Zhibo tried to activate the "Strong" skill and then covered the skill effect of the two.
Geng Wa was covered very smoothly, which shows that under the temptation of 2 taels of silver, he sincerely admitted his own way of survival.
But Yu Zhihai failed again, which shows that his words were teasing him.
【Name: Yu Zhigeng】
【Physical constitution: 1】
1 point of physical fitness. Geng Wa's brain is not good, but her health is pretty good, reaching the maximum value of an ordinary person.
According to the panel standards, people with special physical fitness and high talent should be able to exceed 1 point through exercise. For example, Yu Zhihai guessed that his physical fitness should be between 1.3-1.5 points.
The three of them chatted and left Qijia Village, came to the place where the boat was hidden, and worked together to push the boat into the water, and then rowed home.
On the boat, Yu Zhibo once again confirmed the conditions for working with Geng Wa.
Calculate his income at the end of each month, and if it exceeds 2 taels, it is not enough for Zhibo to make up for it.
There are no fixed days or rest time, and you can be on call, take care of food when you go out, and take leave when you go out, and ask for leave if you have any questions.
This treatment is quite harsh in later generations, but it is very generous in this era.
"I will tell my mother when I go back, so I don't have to worry about the official tax this year." Geng Wa was extremely excited and went straight into the role, not allowing Yu Zhibo to board the boat, and let him sit in the middle of the boat to rest.
"Brother Hai, work harder, I'm in a hurry to go back."
Yu Zhihai laughed out loud at this shout: "Gengwa, whoever wants to say you are stupid in the future, I will be the first to refuse to agree. With your skill of flattery, no one in the Yujia Village is smarter than you."
"Hehehe, Brother Hai, wait until I get the salary to treat you to wine." Geng Wa just smiled foolishly.
Of course, Yu Zhibo did not sit in the middle of the boat as an old man. He picked up the oars thrown by Geng Wa to help row the boat. The three young men rowed a small boat at a very fast speed. Geng Wa, who had been injected with chicken blood, urging them all, and the three of them quickly returned to Yujia Village.
There were two beautiful figures standing on the pier, Lan Mei and Xiu'er who were waiting for everyone.
"Didn't you let you stay at home? Why did you come out?"
After tying the boat to the dock, Yu Zhibo asked Lan Mei with some anger.
I just experienced the special killing of the water thief in Qijia Village. He felt that the pier was too dangerous.
"Heiwa, you can see Lan Mei alone? Am I waiting for you here too? Besides, what dangers can be in my own village?" Xiu'er next to her retorted for Lan Mei, but why does this sound sour?
"Sister, don't blame me, brother, I saw you." Yu Zhihai interrupted. He was nervous when he saw his sister talking to Yu Zhibo.
"Thank you sister Xiu'er for your hard work. We have brought you two gifts from Anzhou this time. Look." Yu Zhibo took a small package from the boat, opened it, and took out two silver hairpins from it, one for Lan Mei and the other for Xiu'er.
"You have a conscience." Xiu'er immediately changed her face after taking the gift and couldn't help but feel happy.
"So beautiful." Lan Mei was also very happy. The silver hairpin in her hand was a moving butterfly. When she gently shaking the hairpin, the butterfly would shake its wings up and down, making it appear vivid.
"Girl, you bought this one for you by my brother." Yu Zhihai interrupted again.
"Yes, yes, Sister Xiu'er, you are paid by Brother Hai." Yu Zhibo added under the threat of Brother Hai's eyes.
"Hmph, can you think of giving me a gift? Is this kind of gift? Unless the sun hits the west side." Xiu'er didn't believe Yu Zhihai's words at all, and made his previous behavior of paying money become useless.
Immediately afterwards, she took out a sachet from her cuff and handed it to Yu Zhibo:
"Then, this is the sachet from last time. You put it away for me and let someone else take it. Be careful that I will beat you up."
Yu Zhibo looked at Yu Zhihai with a helpless expression.
Yu Zhihai gritted his teeth in anger, but under his sister's confident eyes, he finally nodded.
Yu Zhibo looked at Lan Mei again, and saw her smilingly looking at the scene, without any sign of being angry.
"Hold it, this is my sister, thank you for helping me with the last time, it's nothing else."
