Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 136 The Lady of the Constable's House (14)

"Girl, this house has two floors. I'll give you a discount. It can be delivered for 68 taels."

“This is the place!”

After getting the house deed and land deeds, Gu Yuxi moved in. Although the house was small, it had everything she needed. Later, she would have to dig a toilet for herself.

"Gu Yuxi, why does this name sound familiar?"

"Sir, is there something wrong with this name?"

"No problem. We have to collect taxes every year. You can read and write, girl. You can read it yourself."

Only then did Gu Yuxi realize that she, a native, had to pay these taxes. It was indeed the free and easy guest of the previous world who had forgotten all about these things.

"The paperwork has been prepared. Captain Yuan and his men have asked us to help the girl settle down. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."

"Thank you, gentlemen."

"You're welcome."

It was already noon when all the documents were finished. Gu Yuxi went out to buy some furniture and carried a bucket to the well to fetch water.

"Sister, hurry up and fetch some water. That ugly guy Tiejilang is coming soon."

"Normally that guy doesn't have time to fetch water, but when the sun is about to set, that may not be the case."

"Grandma said that if Tiejilang comes out, the children will be scared to tears, and even the elderly will be scared out of their wits."

Gu Yuxi was carrying the bucket while listening to the neighbors discussing the strange people and anecdotes of this place. Unexpectedly, he became the last one to fetch water.

"Come on!"

The wind blew through the willow trees beside the well, making a rustling sound. The women who were washing clothes hurried to take them home, and the children followed their adults closely as they left.

A kind-looking old lady reminded: "Girl, don't stay after the sun sets, go home quickly."

"Grandma, you go first. I still need to fetch some water."

"Grandma, hurry up, that ugly ghost is coming."

Seeing the old woman spill the water on the ground and then quickly walk away with the child beside her, Gu Yuxi frowned. Is it that scary? She didn't even want to drink the water.

She drew water slowly, and soon the four buckets were full. When she was about to look for her wooden stick stand, the stand appeared in front of her.

"Thank you... ghost!"

Gu Yuxi glanced to the side and saw a figure with acne marks all over his face, one side of his face was dark blue, and he was smelly all over. He was standing next to her. She was so scared that she dropped the water scoop to the ground and subconsciously kicked him...

After hearing the sound of ping-pong, Gu Yuxi realized that he was in trouble. A woman and a man walked over quickly, threw away the basins and buckets in their hands, and helped the ugly monster who had fallen to the ground up.

"Erlang!"

"How can you, a woman, be so vicious as to hurt my second brother?"

She also hurried over and waved her hand, "Sir, I didn't mean it just now, are you okay?"

The man who was helped up said sideways: "It's nothing, I scared the girl."

Gu Yuxi really wanted to apologize, but the woman suddenly stood between her and the man. Gu Yuxi stepped back and accidentally stepped on the laundry pestle.

"Ok!"

Just when Gu Yuxi felt that she was going to fall head over heels, she felt a warmth behind her and the scent of male hormones filled her nostrils.

[Satisfaction: 47%]

"Miss Gu, are you okay?"

Gu Yuxi was supported by Xiao Zhuoxuan. He felt his ears were very hot and shook his head, "It's okay."

Xiao Zhuoxuan stood in front of Gu Yuxi, looked at the three people in front of him, and said coldly: "You three are bullying a little girl, do you have any shame?"

"No, Mr. Xiao, I was the one who bullied them!" Gu Yuxi pulled Xiao Zhuoxuan back, who was unaware of the truth, and he was completely stunned.

"It was a misunderstanding, it was all a misunderstanding. Sister-in-law, it was an unintentional mistake. I apologize and I will compensate you if you owe me any."

Tiejilang also said: "Sister-in-law, this girl didn't mean it."

Mrs. Tie said helplessly: "You, being timid, will only make others bully you."

"Miss Gu, is this really a misunderstanding?"

"I was frightened and accidentally kicked this young man over here."

Looking at the distance, Gu Yuxi touched his nose embarrassedly and asked: "Sir, I know some medical skills, let me take a look at your situation!"

"Look, you have to pay the medical expenses!"

"Do you still want to humiliate my brother? He has a simple personality..."

Tie's wife: "You brothers are honest, and this is easy to suffer, so just shut up."

Gu Yuxi also gave Xiao Zhuoxuan a hint, and he said, "Please don't blame me, sister-in-law. We didn't mean it."

Gu Yuxi took the handkerchief and put it on her wrist, then quickly put it away. The woman said sarcastically, "Don't say you can't do it."

"This young man just had a skin infection. He didn't get timely treatment, which led to his disfigurement. It's not that there is no cure."

"Miss, do you mean that my foolish brother can still be saved?"

"This is an ulcer. First reduce the swelling, then take some decoction, and finally apply some ointment to cure the disease."

"Is this girl serious?"

Sister Tie said, "My brother is a scholar and doesn't understand the twists and turns of the quack tricks."

"Sister-in-law, I'm a new neighbor. I just bought a yard over there. A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. How can I deceive you?"

"Jiro, are you really okay?"

"Sister-in-law, it's really okay."

After saying that, Tiejiro fainted instantly. Gu Yuxi became nervous and had no choice but to follow him.

"Don't be afraid, Miss Gu. I'm still here."

"I'm not afraid."

"Erlang was already weak, and after being kicked by this girl, he fainted again."

Gu Yuxi stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, I will pay for the medical expenses."

Gu Yuxi put five taels of silver on the table, and Tie Dalang said, "You can go!"

Xiao Zhuoxuan looked at Gu Yuxi's lonely figure, walked to the well and picked up the four buckets of water, and their hands touched.

"I……"

"I'll carry it myself."

"Miss Gu, just lead the way. I'll help you carry it."

"Thank you very much."

Gu Yuxi walked to the back door of her house and said to the man, "Pour the water into the jar."

She took out a handful of noodles from the cupboard and said to the man, "Take a rest first. I'll make you a bowl of noodles."

"Miss Gu, stop it. I'll help you fill the jar with water."

Gu Yuxi wanted to say forget it, but Xiao Zhuoxuan had already walked out of the door with four buckets in his hand. She could only give up and light a fire with a tinder. Fortunately, she had taken out a few bundles of dry firewood from the space today.

When Xiao Zhuoxuan filled the two large water jars, Gu Yuxi was already frying a dish of side dishes. She said to the man who was about to leave, "Don't leave! If you dare to leave, don't come next time."

"I……"

"Mr. Xiao, I am not very strong. Can you help me move the table by the wall to the shade of the tree in the yard?"

"I'll move it."

Xiao Zhuoxuan had just put the table aside when Gu Yuxi kicked a bench over and placed the noodles in front of him.

"Eat the noodles first. If they get clumpy later, they won't taste good. Come and try my cooking."

Looking at the delicious fried egg noodles in front of him, Xiao Zhuoxuan looked at the woman walking towards the kitchen and his steps suddenly froze.

Gu Yuxi put the stir-fried pumpkin shreds on the table and reminded: "Use your chopsticks. If it's not enough, go to the kitchen for more."

Xiao Zhuoxuan could only sit down and look at Gu Yuxi, who was also holding a bowl of noodles in front of him. He had never sat at the same table with a woman other than his family.
