Chapter 76: Even the Great Leader is Childish
The three grown men walked side by side hand in hand on the street, attracting countless passers-by to watch.
Tang Xiaoyun felt embarrassed, so he shook them off and quickened his pace towards the dock.
【Everyone and everyone is so childish! 】
The system disagreed: [Host, don’t you think this is a sign of love? ]
Tang Xiaoyun: [Come on, Goudan is young and naive, but how can even the big devil be so childish?]
Although he was very happy that Tan Tai Lie was willing to be close to him after losing his memory, it didn't have to be this way.
His hand suddenly felt light, and Mo Yu turned around and glared at Goudan coldly, his eyes full of resentment, as if he was silently accusing the other party of ruining his good deeds.
Goudan refused to accept the situation and raised his chin, saying, "This is all your fault. If you hadn't interfered, I would have been able to spend more time with Brother Tang."
Mo Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then he sneered from his nose: "Ha!"
This kid's ability to turn the tables is really perfect. He didn't blame him for interfering, but he was the one who made the first complaint.
He slowly adjusted his cuffs, a creepy gentle smile on the corner of his lips.
"Kid..." He suddenly leaned close to Goudan and asked in a sinister voice, "Do you know what a human pig is?"
Goudan glanced at him suspiciously and said nonchalantly, "What?"
"The human pig is made by chopping off its limbs, gouging out its eyes, pouring copper into its ears, and finally putting it in a jar, where it remains neither dead nor alive..."
Goudan shuddered upon hearing this, and the hairs on his back immediately stood up. However, he still stiffened his neck and said, "Don't scare me, I'm not afraid of fear! Second Brother Tang is right in front..."
"Shh-"
Mo Yu's slender fingers gently touched his lips, a teasing red light flashed in his eyes, "Don't worry, your second brother Tang can't hear you, so I can take this opportunity to teach you a lesson."
As he spoke, Mo Yu slowly stretched out his hand and traced the curve of Goudan's neck, as if he was measuring something.
As soon as the fingers touched Goudan, he was frightened and his legs went weak and he almost fell.
This time he truly felt the terror of Mo Yu. Those seemingly elegant fingertips seemed to turn into sharp blades in the next second and peel off his skin and bones.
Goudan yelled "Oh my god!" and quickly caught up with Tang Xiaoyun, but he didn't stop. After passing Tang Xiaoyun, he hurriedly said, "I'm going to the school first!"
He looked like he was running away, as if a ghost was chasing him.
Tang Xiaoyun turned suspiciously and looked at Mo Yu who was walking beside him. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong with that kid?"
Mo Yu pretended nothing happened, looked away and said, "I don't know, maybe he's afraid of getting scolded for being late."
Tang Xiaoyun gave him a strange look, but didn't doubt the truth of his words. He quickened his pace and said, "Let's go quickly."
"good!"
The two arrived at the dock, but found it empty, and the merchant ships that used to dock at the dock were nowhere to be seen.
Just at this moment, a middle-aged man in gray coarse linen clothes walked towards them.
Seeing Tang Xiaoyun, he shook his head and said, "We're late. The boat has already left. There's no work to do today."
Hearing this, Tang Xiaoyun glared at Mo Yu resentfully. It was all his fault that he insisted on following them. He was delayed on the road for so long and he hadn't done any work for three or four days. If this continued, they would be left with nothing.
Mo Yu touched his nose in dissatisfaction, his eyes wandering away from Tang Xiaoyun's gaze.
He coughed lightly, pretending to be calm, his fingertips unconsciously stroking his sleeves, looking guilty but trying to save face.
"Ahem... This dock is quite quiet."
He tried to change the subject and looked around pretending to be relaxed, but when he caught a glimpse of Tang Xiaoyun's increasingly gloomy face, his voice unconsciously weakened a little.
The system's mocking voice came at this time: [Haha, the boss is so honest in front of you, is he still the powerful figure? ]
Tang Xiaoyun: [No matter how great you are, you still have to eat, right?]
"Oh, forget it, let's look somewhere else."
Tang Xiaoyun turned and walked towards the central street, and Mo Yu had to follow quickly.
He asked several restaurants along the way, but none of them wanted anyone. He was walking with his head down, looking dejected, when he heard Mo Yu's voice behind him.
"We're hiring here!"
"where?"
Tang Xiaoyun suddenly raised his head and turned around to see Mo Yu pointing at the notice posted on the billboard and saying, "We are urgently looking for a cleaning worker. The wages will be paid daily. The address is..."
Qingwu Academy?
Mo Yu's voice stopped abruptly. Isn't Qingwu Academy the same academy where Goudan is?
"Come, let me see."
Tang Xiaoyun quickly walked over to the sign and was stunned when he saw the address clearly: "Qingwu Academy? Isn't this a coincidence?"
He was immediately delighted. Just when he felt sleepy, someone brought him a pillow.
"Let's go and take a look."
Mo Yu was slightly startled, and hurriedly pulled him back and said, "How about we look for something else..."
He originally wanted to make amends, but he ended up pushing him further and further away.
Tang Xiaoyun stretched out his finger and shook it, saying, "Well, it's ready. How can we not go and take a look? If you're tired, go to the teahouse and wait for me. I'll be back soon."
"Forget it, I'll go with you." He was not that careless. Knowing that Goudan was interested in him, he still let him go alone. He was stupid.
Tang Xiaoyun nodded, took down the notice, and in a moment, the two of them arrived at Qingwu Academy.
There was a guard sitting at the entrance of the school. Seeing that the two were not students, he stopped them and said, "If you are not a student, you are not allowed to enter!"
Tang Xiaoyun took out the notice, handed it to the gatekeeper, and said, "I'm here to apply for a job."
The gatekeeper glanced at the notice, understood, and pointed at Mo Yu and said, "You can go in, but he can't."
"Why? We came here together." Mo Yu frowned, looking unhappy, and looked at the old man with a bit of fierceness.
This look infuriated the old man, who pointed at Mo Yu's nose and said, "You don't look like a good person. What if you sneak in and hurt the students? In short, you can't enter!"
Not like a good person?
Tang Xiaoyun stole a glance at Mo Yu, covering his mouth with his hands and laughing: [Grandpa's guess is really accurate.]
Mo Yu was slightly startled and turned to look at Tang Xiaoyun: "You...!"
"Okay, okay, just wait for me here, I'll be back soon." Tang Xiaoyun held back his laughter and patted his shoulder.
As soon as Tang Xiaoyun left, Mo Yu and the gatekeeper started glaring at each other, neither of them liking the other.
After entering Qingwu Academy, someone brought him to the headmaster.
The headmaster looked him over and asked, "What's your name? How's your health? The menial work in our school isn't difficult, but it does require a good physique. Don't be like the last one, who was always sick."
"My name is Tang Er. I'm in very good health. I've rarely been sick since I was a child. Don't worry, Headmaster."
Seeing that Tang Xiaoyun looked healthy and didn't look like someone who would be sick often, the headmaster nodded and said, "In that case, you can come to work tomorrow. I'll then show you around the school."
"Okay, then I'll take my leave."
After making an appointment with the headmaster, Tang Xiaoyun came to the entrance of the school and saw Mo Yu standing straight in front of the gatekeeper like a pine tree.
He looked at the two of them in surprise, and saw that the gatekeeper was trying hard to keep his eyes wide open and stare at Mo Yu. He would not close his eyes even if they were so sore that tears came out.
On the other hand, Mo Yu looked relaxed and stared at the old man with cold eyes.
He quickly walked over and patted Mo Yu on the shoulder and said, "What are you doing? Let's go."
Mo Yu then withdrew his gaze, snorted lightly, and walked out first.
The gatekeeper then breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes tightly, and tears immediately flowed down his face.
His eyes were dry and sore, he looked up and wiped the tears from his face, muttering, "Why does this young man's eyes look like knives?"
When Tang Xiaoyun heard the old man's muttering, he couldn't help but look up at Mo Yu's back, secretly laughing in his heart.
[A dignified leader of a demonic cult actually competes with a gatekeeper. How childish!]
The system retorted: [You should be thankful that the boss has such a lovely side.]
Tang Xiaoyun was slightly startled: [Why?]
The system pursed its lips, rolled its eyes at him, and said, "Do you want to see the cold, stone-like boss from before?"
Tang Xiaoyun recalled the past Tan Tai Lie.
Well……
[Forget it, just pretend I didn’t say anything.]
Mo Yu, who was walking in front, listened to the conversation between Tang Xiaoyun and the system. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips and his pace slowed down.
Tang Xiaoyun took two quick steps to catch up with him, took his hand, interlocked their fingers, tilted his head slightly and smiled, "Childish boy, let's go home!"
…
The next day, the morning light spread over the green tiles like a thin gauze. Dewdrops hanging from the corners of the eaves reflected the dim sky, and a wisp of green smoke slowly rose from the chimney on the low roof.
Tang Xiaoyun straightened his open collar. It had been autumn for a long time, and it was still a bit cold in the morning.
He prepared breakfast and kept it warm in the pot, then left a letter and went out.
Today is his first day working at Qingwu Academy, and he cannot be late.
When he arrived at the academy, the headmaster was waiting for him. Seeing that he had arrived early, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Tang Er, come here. I'll show you around."
"good."
After the headmaster took Tang Xiaoyun around the school, he began to introduce his job description: "Your job is to clean the yard and classroom, wipe the tables, and occasionally run errands for the students. It's not difficult, right?"
"The work is not difficult. Don't worry, Headmaster. I will do my best."
As they were talking, they came into the classroom and saw a question written on the wall book.
The question is: There is a field that is twelve steps wide and fourteen steps long. How many steps does the field take?
The headmaster saw him standing in front of the wall book, staring at the question, and was slightly startled. He asked, "Can you read?"
Tang Xiaoyun nodded: "Of course I recognize him."
Upon hearing this, the headmaster nodded and said, "I underestimated you. I'm a little surprised that you can read."
After all, Tang Xiaoyun's first impression on him was that he came from a poor family, and in a barren place like the north, not many people could send their children to school.
He naturally thought that Tang Xiaoyun had never been educated.
Seeing him staring at the wall book without moving, the headmaster urged him, "Let's go. Even if you can read, it doesn't mean you can solve this problem. Don't waste time."
Tang Xiaoyun picked up the brush placed in front of the wall book and said confidently, "How difficult can this question be? I learned it in elementary school."
As he spoke, he picked up his pen and wrote down the answer.
After the headmaster saw the answer he had written, his pupils shrank slightly, and he asked a little excitedly, "How did you know the answer was 168 square steps?"
"I figured it out!"
Seeing Tang Xiaoyun's answer as a matter of course, the headmaster was even more shocked.
"You don't write the formula, you just write the answer?"
