Chapter 10 Don’t block my sunshine

Qinglang stayed in Heisong Valley to practice, while Wei Shiqi left Laoya Ridge and went to Xinyang Town to meet Butler Deng of Zhao Mansion and ask for the three hundred taels of silver he promised.

North of Shangguan Bridge, the side door of Zhao Mansion was ajar, and a short old servant was leaning against the wall, basking in the sun, pounding his head like a little chicken pecking at rice. Wei Shiqi stepped forward, coughed lightly, and said, "My father-in-law, may I ask if Butler Deng is here?"

A voice suddenly rang in his ears, and the old servant was startled. , hurriedly opened his eyes, and saw a strong man standing in front of him, wearing a new soap-colored cloth. He was tall and blocked the light, so he couldn't see the other person's face clearly. He was having a good sleep when he was woken up by someone. He felt a little unhappy and said in an old-fashioned way: "Young man, stand far away and don't block my sunshine!"

Wei Shi Qiyi was stunned, feeling that this sentence sounded familiar. After thinking about it, he found the source. He was a little surprised and asked curiously: "My surname is Di?"

"My surname is Di? Whose surname is Di?" ? No one in Xinyang Town has the surname Di!"

Wei Shiqi knew that he was too smart. The other party spoke very hastily. The servants of rich businessmen are mixed, good and bad. It is unlucky to encounter such a thing. He turned sideways and took a half step back to let out the sunlight, and asked patiently: "May I ask if Butler Deng is in the house?"

The old servant looked him up and down and asked: "Who are you?"

"I am a hunter from Laoya Ridge nearby..."

The King of Hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with. In this situation, if it were Mulian, he would definitely blush, hesitate and be speechless, turn around and leave with tears in his eyes; Liu Tou, an old man, would keep his smile on his face and continue to pester him, saying a lot of good things; if it were Yue Zhilan, he would probably stuff a small piece of silver without any fuss, and beg the other party to spare no effort to work hard. An announcement was made; if it were Deng Shouyi, he might have proclaimed the Buddha Amitabha, and then the old servant had a splitting headache, vomiting and diarrhea, and came to his senses and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Wei Shiqi laughed and said: "Steward Deng's grandson is seriously ill and urgently needs bear bile medicine. I will send it to him right away. If you miss his care, you can't afford it." "

The old servant jumped up, spitting everywhere, and cursed: "You little bastard, you dared to deceive me after hearing a few rumors! Damn it, I’ve already taken the decoction in the little basket, and my illness has been cured. It’s your turn to offer the treasure! Come on, hurry up, and beat me out again!”

The amount of information is too much—— The old servant was Yue Zhilan's father. The grandson of Butler Deng was named Xiao Basket. The golden-backed bear bile was indeed suitable for medicine. Wei Shiqi also realized that he had thought wrong just now. If it were Yue Zhilan's situation, he would definitely say with great grievance: "Dad, why didn't you let me see him?"Butler Deng! "

"Dad, who are you talking to? "A man walked out from the side door, dressed as a strong servant, it was Yue Zhilan.

"Brother Yue, it's me. I came to see Butler Deng, but the old man didn't inform me. ”

Yue Zhilan was shocked when he heard his words with some resentment. He knew that Butler Deng valued this hunter very much. Deng Shou also had a good impression of him. His father always had a bad mouth and spoke well. It sounded ugly. He must have offended him. He immediately took a few steps forward, stood in front of the old servant, and said with a smile: "In any case, Butler Deng has already given instructions. If Brother Wei Xiao comes, there is no need to inform him, just go in and see the old man. That's it. "

"Brother Yue is so polite. I wonder if Butler Deng is free now? "

"Just now, he was checking the accounts in the accounting room. Brother Wei Xiao came with me. "He invited Wei Shiqi into the house, turned around and winked at his father, and hurriedly followed. The old servant was a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and muttered something resentful.

The two of them wore clothes After passing the sedan hall, go north along the dark east corridor, and turn right at the end to the East Garden, where the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, colorful and swaying.

Yue Zhilan said euphemistically: "Wei. Brother Xiao, my dad has such a bad temper, please forgive me and don't take it to heart. "He was worried that Wei Shiqi would file a complaint in front of Butler Deng. Although Butler Deng valued him, he didn't have a good impression of his outspoken father.

Wei Shiqi smiled and said, Without comment, he knew what Yue Zhilan was worried about.

The two of them walked out of the East Garden from the Moon Cave Gate and passed by a flat school ground where Shilai Nagoin was practicing boxing. Wei Shiqi slowed down and took a few glances. , It’s not like a routine, just some simple punches, kicks, elbows and knees.

Seeing that he was interested in boxing, Yue Zhilan was moved and said: "This is the edge. The martial arts boxing among the Rong army is widely spread. If Brother Wei Xiao is interested, you might as well get this boxing manual to read more. "

"Brother Yue has a boxing manual? I would be very grateful if you could give me a gift. "

Yue Zhilan felt relieved. The martial arts manual was not a rare thing. Wei Shiqi wanted to give him a copy as a favor, even if he wanted to make amends for his father.

The two walked while talking, and in no time they arrived outside the accounting room. Yue Zhilan asked him to stay for a while, and then he went forward to report to Deng Zhang.

Deng Zhang waited for Wei Shiqiu to come. There was no one around in the sky, so I guessed that he stayed in Laoya Ridge to dispose of the bear carcass, and the bearskin and bearmeat should be fetched at a good price. At this time, I was very happy to see him coming. I went to welcome him personally and led him into the side hall to sit down. , ordered the servant to serve tea.

The tea that Butler Deng drank was many times better than the tea bricks. It was a little clumsy, but nothing went wrong. This confirmed Deng Zhang's previous guess. If he was really a hunter in the mountains, how could he use a lidded bowl?

Wei Shiqi had not tasted such good tea for a long time. , he vaguely remembered that in another world, his only hobby besides reading wasDrink some light tea.

Deng Zhang exchanged a few words with him, got straight to the point, and expressed his intention to recruit. Wei Shiqi was about to evade it by saying that "people in the mountains are used to being undisciplined, blah blah blah" when the words rolled around on his tongue and swallowed again. He took the initiative to mention that Master Deng Xian gave him a gift that day in Laoya Ridge. The chance will come to an end on the eighth day of July next year. If he has no luck with the Xiandu Sect, he will come to join Butler Deng again.

Deng Zhang heard Deng Shouyi talk about this, and he admired it even more. He did not force it, and encouraged him a few words, and ordered his subordinates to go to the accounting room to pay three hundred taels of silver and pack a package and give it to Wei. Seventeen.

After another round of tea, Wei Shiqi stood up to leave, and Deng Zhang asked Yue Zhilan to see him off on his behalf. After walking out of the Zhao Mansion, the old servant who was dozing in the sun outside the side door was not there. Wei Shiqi had a heavy baggage on his back and a boxing book in his arms. Shi Shiran left Xinyang Town.
