If it weren't for his incompetence as a servant, why would his master have come to this godforsaken place?

Cheng Fang told himself to be patient, just a little more patient.

He saw an older woman standing in front of him, and Cheng Fang was delighted. He quickly walked a few steps forward.

But he didn't notice that he had stepped on a pile of horse manure.

Cheng Fang immediately stopped in his tracks, looking down at his feet in disbelief.

He stepped on a huge lump of horse manure and flattened it. The manure spilled from his gold-embroidered boots all the way onto the surface of his shoes.

"Ah..." Cheng Fang let out a scream.

Immediately afterwards, he jumped up and down several times on the spot. The foot that had stepped in horse manure rubbed itself back and forth on the ground frantically.

The more horse manure he received, the more it stuck to his boots, eventually covering them completely.

Cheng Fang looked at the yellowish-black, smelly horse manure and felt like vomiting.

"Ugh..." Cheng Fang leaned against a crooked tree at the entrance of the village and couldn't help but spit out a few mouthfuls of water.

"Young Master!" Although Afu was also afraid of getting dirty, it would be inappropriate for him not to help at this time.

What to do about the poop all over his feet? Ah Fu's face scrunched up.

Cheng Fang rubbed his feet against Afu's body, finally managing to wipe away some of the dirt.

"Go quickly, go find some water to wash my shoes!"

Afu glanced at the horse manure on his clothes with disgust, then turned his nose and walked up to He Tiantian.

"Auntie, do you have any water at home? Could you lend me some?"

He Tiantian wanted to laugh when she saw this, but she held it in.

However, although she had no grudge against Cheng Fang, she should make this playboy suffer a bit for Zhao Yan's sake.

He Tiantian looked distressed and said helplessly, "We just had lunch, and there's no water left in the house. We've used it all up."

"What..." Afu simply couldn't believe it.

However, seeing that the woman in front of him didn't seem to be deliberately making things difficult, he twitched the corner of his mouth and asked, "Then where else can we find water?"

He Tiantian stood on the threshold and pointed to Wolf Mountain, which was very far behind Afu.

"Look, it's over there. See that biggest and tallest mountain?"

Afu looked in the direction He Tiantian was pointing. So far? Even by carriage, it would take an hour or two to get there!

"Oh, so what if you stepped in poop? Just pick up some straw and leaves from the ground and wipe yourself clean. That's how we do it in our village."

Afu was a little embarrassed. He looked around and picked up a few leaves from the ground.

They were wiping horse manure about five meters away from He Tiantian's house.

Even if you wipe the shoes clean, they will still have a smell if there is no water.

However, Cheng Fang felt somewhat better than before.

He straightened his disheveled clothes, disdainfully tossed Afu aside, and walked towards He Tiantian.

This time, he carefully avoided the horse manure on the ground. Cheng Fang walked up to He Tiantian, cupped his hands in front of him, and said, "Excuse me, does Zhao Yan live in this village?"
