Gao Laozhuang has begun to take shape, the gate has been built, and the wall is almost completed.
From a distance, the village gate seemed tightly shut. As they entered, someone on the gate tower called out to Zhang Shixun and the other two, "Who are you? Tell me your names!"
Looking closely, there were two men dressed as farmhands standing there, one holding a spear and the other holding a bow and arrow, staring at Zhang Shixun with a fierce look.
"My name is Zhang Shixun. I'm the eldest cousin of the third son of your owner's second uncle." Zhang Shixun raised his head and shouted upwards.
When the two farmhands heard this, they became confused and could not figure out the relationship between him and the owner of the farm.
Looking at the farmhand standing stupidly on the wall, Ding Dusai and Feng Yinu were laughing so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.
The two farmhands whispered to each other for a while. The one with the spear turned around and went down the gatehouse, while the one with the bow and arrow stayed on the gatehouse, staring down vigilantly.
Ding Dusai finally caught his breath and pointed at Zhang Shixun and said, "Sir, you are so mean! You made my stomach hurt from laughing so hard."
Zhang Shixun looked innocent, "Madam, do you really think I'm a bad person?"
Feng Yinu wiped away the tears of laughter and said, "Master Zhang, you are indeed a bit bad... Ouch! I am dying of laughter."
"You really wronged me. I am a genuinely good person, a very good person."
"Bah! If you were a good person, there would be no bad people in the world." Wang Dong appeared on the gate tower, wearing a red cloak and a hairpin with flowers on his head, looking very showy.
Zhang Shixun tilted his head back and said, "Wang Dong, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but this farm looks real, but it's actually just a showpiece. It's good for show but not for use. At best, it can stop petty thieves, but if they run into any stronger thieves, they can just jump over the wall."
"Bah! Just keep bragging." Wang Dong spat downwards, looking very bad.
"It stinks!" Zhang Shixun pulled the two beauties back a few steps and exaggeratedly covered his mouth and nose with his hands.
Wang Dong was extremely satisfied with the construction of his own manor, but when he came to Zhang Shixun, he was described as worthless. How despicable!
This is intolerable, what else can’t be tolerated?
"Zhang Shixun, if you have the guts, flip it over for me to see. If you can climb over the wall, I'll... then..."
Zhang Shixun put his hands on his hips and asked, "What do you think?"
Wang Dong gritted his teeth and said, "If you can climb over the wall, I will take your surname."
"Bah! If you took my last name, I'd think you'd bring disgrace upon the Zhang family... No way! If you want to gamble, let's bet big."
"Okay! Then let's do something big." Wang Dong sneered and said, "If you can climb over my village wall, my wife will be yours... Oh, and I'll give you my son Taoqi too, how about that?"
"Ah!?" Ding Dusai couldn't help but exclaimed and quickly covered his mouth.
"Pah, pah, pah!" Zhang Shixun said "Pah" three times in a row, which really made Wang Dong's words disgusting. "As for your yellow-faced wife, don't bring her out to embarrass us... Wang Dong, if you lose, just prepare a table of delicious food to treat us... Look how magnanimous I am."
"Put your weapon back." Wang Dong sneered, "What will you say if you lose?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Ding Dusai and Feng Yinu.
Zhang Shixun curled his lips in disdain. "Wang Dong, I won't lose at all. To tell you the truth, if I dare to bet with you, I am sure to win."
"The wall of my farm is more than ten feet high. Are you sure you can climb over it?" Wang Dong looked at the tall and thick wall of his farm and thought he was sure to win.
"Sir, the village wall is too high. Can you climb over it?" Ding Dusai looked at Zhang Shixun, then at the tall village wall, and was really worried about him.
Zhang Shixun winked at her and said, "Believe me, there is nothing in this world that can stump me."
"Mr. Zhang, I don't believe you can climb over this wall." Feng Yinu thought he was bragging too much.
"Really?" Zhang Shixun looked at Feng Yinu and suddenly found that Feng Yinu was also very beautiful, but her beauty was different from Ding Dusai or Li Shishi. It should be the "gorgeous" kind.
Feng Yinu said with great confidence: "No one should be able to jump over such a high wall."
"Man can conquer nature." Zhang Shixun replied to her and looked carefully at the village wall in front of him.
Looking at the high village wall, Zhang Shixun felt a little scared.
Although bragging doesn't require tax, you can't brag carelessly.
Seeing him standing there hesitant, Wang Dong was in high spirits. "Hey! Mr. Zhang, are you scared? Haha! It doesn't matter if you can't turn over. I, Wang Dong, have always been generous. As long as you admit that you are bragging, I won't go too far. Just kowtow to me three times respectfully, and the matter will be over. Hahaha! ... Men, bring me a chair. I want to see Mr. Zhang jump over the wall... Haha! A desperate dog will jump over the wall."
Wang Dong's words immediately caused a burst of laughter.
At some point, the gatehouse and the village walls were already filled with farmers from Gao Laozhuang.
"Master Zhang, have we gotten into trouble now?" Feng Yinu said with a sweet smile, "While it's still early, let's hurry back to the city."
"Yinu, are you also bullying Mr. Zhang?" Ding Dusai was unhappy. "The man above is Mr. Zhang's cousin. Even if Mr. Zhang can't get over it, he won't really let us go back the way we came."
"Sister, I don't mean to laugh at you." Feng Yinu took Ding Dusai's hand and pointed at the wall of the manor and said, "Look at that wall, it's almost two meters high. Mr. Zhang has said so much, it's not easy for him to leave the stage."
"I believe that Mr. Zhang will be able to turn over." Ding Dusai believed in Zhang Shixun without any reason.
Feng Yinu stuck out her tongue and said no more.
Women are often blind or even brainless when it comes to the men they like.
Ding Dusai was full of confidence in something that even Zhang Shixun himself was not sure about, at least verbally.
Wang Dong sat on a large chair and said sarcastically, "Mr. Zhang, are you going to become a coward?"
I have been forced into a corner by Wang Dong. If I back down now, I will never be able to raise my head in front of him again.
Since the big talk had been made, Zhang Shixun decided to take a gamble for the sake of his own face.
Zhang Shixun took a dozen steps back and adjusted his breathing.
Everyone on and off the wall held their breath and stared. Ding Dusai and Feng Yinu also clenched their fists, their hearts pounding.
Zhang Shixun pushed his feet against the ground, jumped up and ran towards the village wall. When he reached the wall, he raised his right leg high and stepped on the wall, then jumped high. When he was in mid-air, he pushed with his left foot to gain leverage and his body rose another half a foot. He stretched out his hands and hooked the top of the wall with his ten fingers.
At this moment, Zhang Shixun laughed and climbed onto the top of the wall.
Everyone was stunned. No one expected that someone could climb such a high wall. They even forgot to cheer.
