"It hurts!" I shouted and raised my head.
"You really don't have eyes. Don't your feet hurt?”I saw a delicate and pretty face that had been ruined by a touch of the underworld. I finally remembered the 'little beggar' who was the first to recognize that I was disguised as a man when I left the palace.
I looked at my uninjured foot. It was stepping on the corner of his sleeve.
"You are really accurate. Your left foot just stepped on my rice bowl and was hit. You actually stepped on my clothes with your right foot again. Don't you know that stepping on a beggar's rice bowl is a very serious crime? You even stepped on my clothes again and again. You're really bold, aren't you? Ugly woman!" He said disdainfully.
I didn't show any weakness and stood up." I stepped on your rice bowl. I didn't see it and didn't do it on purpose. Moreover, if I step on it and break it, I can compensate you." What about you? But because of this matter, you deliberately hit my foot. If it's broken, can you accompany me with an intact foot? I stepped on your clothes because you deliberately hit my foot. In the end, your mistake is much bigger than mine, so you can consider it as me suffering a huge loss! I'll let you have a draw!”I shrugged and spread my hands, looking at him with an innocent expression.
"I didn't expect an ugly freak like you to be so good at quibbling. Can you afford to pay for my job?”He looked hesitant and arrogant.
"I'm not an ugly woman. I'm only sixteen years old. Whether I'm ugly or not has nothing to do with you. You don't care either. Your broken porcelain bowl is already chipped, and you still want to extort me.”I rolled my eyes at him.
"My broken porcelain bowl, do you know that he is the treasure of the world's number one gang?”He was so angry that his face turned red.
"The number one sect in the world, could it be the Beggar's Sect? Since it's the Beggar's Sect, why would they treat a broken bowl as a treasure? Moreover, you're just a child, how could you have a sect treasure? Isn't that lying?" I said with an embarrassed smile.
"You don't believe me. No wonder you brought a strange cloth. It seems that you're afraid of scaring the people who see you! It's your own fault for not being knowledgeable, but that's the truth. Today, I want to see how you're going to keep my job.”As he spoke, he began to look at the bowl.
The sound was very crisp and penetrating, but it was very rhythmic.
" Men, take her down!" The boy with black hair on his face waved his hand. A dozen beggars appeared out of nowhere and tried to grab me.
"Wait, do you see it in my hand? "Don't come over, or you'll bear the consequences," I said to the beggars boldly.
"I've really underestimated you, wretched girl. With a spirit beast by your side, you can be fearless. I really don't believe it?”As he spoke, he waved his hand to indicate that the people around him did not need to come forward. Instead, he walked towards me.
When I saw that the situation was not good, I wanted to let go of Ling 'er and let her try her skills.
Before I could see clearly how that dirty man attacked, I saw Ling 'er's body sway and she was already swaying around him.
I saw a cold light flash and Ling Er had already jumped back into my hand. I felt that it was trembling. Its eyes had already turned green. Although it was bleeding again, it was still in a vigilant state. At this time, not only was Ling Er protecting me, but also Lan Zhi. She stood in front of me and protected me with her arms.
"What do you want? Don't hurt my sister." Lan Zhi's face showed an expression that I had never seen before. His face was filled with determination.
"What a stinky girl. You're really popular. Not only can you sacrifice yourself to save a spirit beast, but you can also stand up for a weak woman. It seems that you're really lucky?，However, I'm not in a good mood today, so I have to ask you for an explanation. Since you're all so bold, why don't we go to my place to talk?”As she spoke, she was about to go forward and grab my Ling 'er and me.
" Stop!" I shouted." Don't you just want an explanation? How much do you want? Can't I just pay?”I walked around Lan Zhi and stood face to face with the rude little beggar.
There were already many people gathered around us. It seemed that they were all here to watch the show. Some of them even said,
"Look at that young man, he really seems to be the leader of Beggar's Sect. Otherwise, why would there be a Beggar's Sect token?”
" I think that little girl's pet is really cute. I really like it…"
"There really is someone who doesn't know death. I think that ugly woman has bad eyesight and actually dares to go against the Beggar King. She's really audacious!”
……
I listened carefully, but I couldn't make any sense of it. But he was the leader of the Beggars Gang, so it was certain. My Ling 'er was injured by him. He's too terrifying. I had to think of a way to escape." Hmm…" I quickly racked my brain. How many brain cells would die in a while! I sighed with emotion.
"How arrogant. Are you worthy of the rice bowls of hundreds of beggars in this world? Ugly girl, is your waist that thick?”He smiled at me evilly and placed his hands in front of his chest, as if he wanted to teach me a lesson. His eyes were full of contempt.
I gritted my teeth and thought quietly," Alright then. How many people are there in Beggar's Sect?”
" There are about 214 people in Ping Cheng and more than 1,000 people in other places," the man in patched clothes standing on his left replied.
He glanced at me arrogantly, as if I should be scared to death the moment I heard this. Do they really think I'm an ignorant and silly girl?
I took a step forward and raised my head. My eyes met those bright eyes." Alright then, I'll accompany you with a thousand people's rice bowls. How many meals do each of you have to eat a day? How many bowls of rice do you have for each meal?”I said fearlessly.
"Alright, at least you have the guts. I originally thought that you would only accompany one or two hundred people. It seems that you are really a particular person? "Alright then, I won't bully you. Everyone will have three meals a day, a bowl of rice per meal." He continued to glance at me from the corner of his eyes.
"Alright, I have to cook 3,000 bowls of rice every day. I can't do it alone. You must prepare something for me and lend me a spacious place. I promise to cook 3,000 bowls of rice every day.”
As expected, he nodded gently.
"But you have to prepare some food for me. As for the rice, I can buy it and cook for you myself. What do you think?"”I calmly looked at his arrogant face.
" Are you serious? You can cook 3,000 bowls of rice for us every day, as long as we have a place and tools..." He finally looked at me seriously with a hesitant expression.
I nodded seriously." If you don't believe me, you can bet with me. The loser will be my follower for three years."
" Alright, I'll wait for the day I kill you." Although he felt that the person on the other side might have a conspiracy, he was sure that even if he was a great god, he would never be able to do three thousand bowls of rice.
" Deal, high five." I extended my hand.
"Little girl, are you crazy? "It's impossible for one person to cook three thousand bowls of rice a day. Don't scare my sister. I..." Lan Zhi couldn't hold it in anymore and held my arm tightly.
"It's fine. I'm confident. Just wait for him to serve us!”I smiled at Lan Zhi and whispered in her ear.
"Alright, let's find a place now!”I looked at him confidently.
"Alright, fourth brother, lead the way. Let's go to the meeting hall." After saying that, I was surrounded by people in tattered clothes as I walked forward.
I intended to let Lan Zhi go home first, so that when I encountered danger, there would be someone to inform me. Perhaps I could still live in this world.
Lan Zhi was stubborn and insisted on advancing and retreating with me. I couldn't do anything to him, so I went with him.
Following this large group of beggars, they arrived at a very old house. After entering, I saw a large open space. In the middle stood a pole that was 20 to 30 meters long. There was a chair at the top of the pole. Looking at the situation, I realized that the gang leader was really not a good person. To sit at such a high place to listen to the voices of all parties, he really had to be skilled in martial arts!
I'm really a little scared. It's not that I'm really afraid of losing, but I'm afraid that he won't let us go and wants to kill us to silence us.
I broke out in a cold sweat." Dare I ask, you ugly woman, when are you going to start cooking?" "We can't wait any longer." The damned Gang Leader flew up to the chair and waved at me.
"The bet officially begins now. It's the first day. Prepare 100 catties of dry wood first. It's best if you have more so that the fire will not run out before the rice is cooked."Then, I'll put up a big shelf. I want a big one. It's best to prepare a pot first and make it according to the size of the pot. The most important thing is to make a pot that is two-thirds the size of this courtyard from east to west. I think it might be big enough, but it's best to make a pot that is as big as this courtyard. After you finish these three things in four hours, I can cook. I stood on the spot, pulled Lan Zhi to a place with a shade of the tree, and swaggered to sit down."You have to hurry up. If you miss the time, you won't be able to get a meal. Your Gang Leader will be my follower." I laughed.
" Reporting to Sect Master, not to mention the shelf, even this dry wood will take us an hour. Moreover, this pot, without three to five years, it's impossible to make such a big pot. We can't even find the materials to make the pot in four hours," a slightly older man stood up and reported to the person on the pole.
"What? Are you asking me to admit defeat? You guys better think of a way, quickly, or else…" His eyes were already red with anger.
The more I looked at it, the more I wanted to laugh. Did I learn this move from Ikyu? I don't watch cartoons for nothing. In the modern world, I'm a real anime and manga fan! I'm finally proud of this, and not like what Mom said, playing with things will destroy my will? I proudly crossed my legs and hummed the tune of returning from shooting. I was extremely excited.
Looks like they won't be able to make the super big pot I need today. Add a hundred catties of dry wood and a tall shelf." Haha!" You're dead. I want to see your expression when you're angered to death.
"Sect Master, please calm down. Forgive this subordinate for being incompetent and not being able to share Sect Master's worries. If we fail to complete the mission, this subordinate will be punished!”The black mass of men in patched clothes knelt on the ground and said in unison.
I originally thought that it would be a scene of a mess of cups and plates. If it was more serious, it would be a scene of broken walls and ruins, right?
The result was beyond my expectations. The only tree in the courtyard made a dull sound above my head. The stone floor in the courtyard was unusually cold, as if everything in the courtyard was frozen, except for me.
"If you call me sister now, I can pretend that this never happened and the bet doesn't count. What do you think?”I said with a smug smile.
There was another deathly silence. This time, I was frozen on the spot. He suddenly turned to me and stared at me with an incomparably sharp gaze as if I was a terrifying beast. I broke out in a cold sweat as more and more people stared at me with icy gazes. I even forgot to blush and stared at them foolishly.
"Forget it, Elder Lin, you will temporarily take over the sect's affairs for me. If there is anything, just report to me at any time."
" Ugly freak, you can smile proudly now." He suddenly flew in front of me and said lazily," Let's go. Do you want to stay here forever?"”He only left his back for me.
" I didn't want to come. If it wasn't because someone was stingy, I wouldn't have come even if I was beaten to death." I pulled Lan Zhi over, raised my head, and strode towards the door.
" This way, this is the way out, stupid woman!" The stingy gang leader shouted at me.
"I know the way. You don't have to worry about it. You're the stupid one. Don't forget who lost and who the idiot was.”I made a face at him, stuck out my tongue and scratched my face with my middle finger.
