Now Xu Xiaoyi understood. He slowly warmed up his body and then lit a cigarette.
[The temptation of nicotine: triple your combat power!]
When Xi Xiao and Xi Liangkang saw Xu Xiaoyi's behavior, they thought that the county magistrate had been exposed and started to panic, so they guessed right?
"Sir, there's no need to be shy. We are all men."
"Shy you*"
Peng~
Snap~
Da~
Then Xi Xiao, who was beaten to a point where his eyes were panda-eyed, and Xi Liangkang, who had a big bump on his head, knelt on the ground and apologized:
"Sir, we are blind. It turns out that this happened because you were cold."
Xu Xiaoyi was speechless with them and waved his hand: "Forget it. Now, do me a favor and help me arrange the furniture that the County Magistrate's Mansion needs. If you can exchange it for rice, then use rice. If not, come back and tell me later."
"Sir, how many beds do you want to buy?" Xi Liangkang asked:
"Two. If you ask such a stupid question again, I will hang you at the gate of the county magistrate's mansion."
"One more thing. Please help me spread the word that I'm asking for rain this afternoon. The more people know, the better."
Xi Xiao and Xi Liangkang were shocked upon hearing this. They quickly tried to persuade him, "Sir, praying for rain is not an option in these times! The people in the county have already eaten your refined rice and pickled mustard greens, and your reputation has improved. If you continue to pray for rain, it's bound to lead to gossip from some villains!"
"Yes, sir, and it hasn't rained in Xiqing County for a whole year. If we can't get rain, it will inevitably cause panic among the people." Xi Xiao echoed.
Xu Xiaoyi smiled frivolously and then turned away. "Don't worry, if I say yes, it's definitely yes."
Xi Xiao and Xi Liangkang looked at each other.
Isn’t this county magistrate too pretentious?
............
"Oh my God! How did the young master get here in one day? It took us so long to get here!" A man in linen clothes said, holding his waist and panting.
"Instead of thinking about that, we should think about how to get the letter from the master. The letter said that the young master has lost his memory and we should pretend to be ordinary people, stay by his side, protect him, and report every move back."
The two men, dressed in ordinary clothes and looking like ordinary farmers, were the secret guards who originally came to arrest Xu Xiaoyi, but now they have a new mission, which is to disguise themselves as ordinary people to protect the young master.
"Xu Yi, our first priority now is to find where the young master is."
“Brother, such a big and shabby place, there’s not even a brothel. I really can’t imagine where the young master would be. It’s all because of that groom who brought us to such a shabby place!”
Peng~
A child bumped into Xu Yi, and Xu Yi staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Kid, why are you running so fast? Is your father or your mother in front of you?" Xu Yi accused.
"Who is blocking the road? The county magistrate asked for rain this afternoon. I don't have time to argue with you. Get out of the way." After saying that, the child ran away.
This made Xu Yi very angry, and he kept scolding the child.
"Xu Yi, let's follow that kid too."
"Xu Jia, do you want to help me get revenge?"
"You are so stupid! Look at so many people going to see the county magistrate pray for rain. What if the young master who loves to join in the fun also goes there? Wouldn't that be a perfect opportunity to find the young master?" Xu Jia pointed at many people walking in one direction.
"Then let's go quickly! If we see that kid later, slap him twice secretly." After saying this, Xu Yi slapped the air twice.
Soon, Xu Jia and Xu Yi arrived in front of the county magistrate's mansion, where a huge crowd of people seemed to be waiting for the county magistrate's rain-praying performance. Xu Jia and Xu Yi were looking for the young master everywhere.
In the county magistrate's mansion, Xu Xiaoyi and Xi Xiao were assembling a bed in a cleaned room. Su Yanyue was standing in the corner, while Xi Liangkang was pacing around the room anxiously.
"Old man Xi, please don't leave. I'm dizzy." Xu Xiaoyi said while holding the wooden board.
"Oh, sir, I've already told you that my son and I can install the bed. There are crowds of people outside the county magistrate's mansion, waiting for your performance. If you are not sure and go out to explain now, they won't blame you!" Xi Liangkang said anxiously, stomping the ground.
"Old Man Xi, I know you are in a hurry, but don't be anxious yet." Xu Xiaoyi put the last wooden board on it, then spread the straw mat on it and put a layer of quilt on it.
"What? Sir. What nonsense are you talking about?" Xi Liangkang was confused by Xu Xiaoyi's words.
"Xiaoyue, you'll be sleeping here temporarily from today. Here are a few sets of clothes for you. Try them on to see if they fit you!"
Xu Xiaoyi said to Su Yanyue, who was wrapped in black cloth and her whole body was pitch black, and thought to himself, "I've arranged everything for you, so you won't run away, right? I want to see what use you can have for me."
"Ah? This is for me?" Su Yanyue was called over from the very beginning, thinking that she would help out as a laborer. Unexpectedly, she was not able to help at all, but now she actually has her own bed and new clothes.
"Yes, it's for you. Don't go back to sleeping in the haystack. If you have any questions, ask them at night. I'm busy now. Old Man Xi, Xiao Xi, go to the gate of the county magistrate's mansion to maintain order. I'm going to start praying for rain."
"yes!"
Xu Xiaoyi walked out of the room, climbed up along the pillar, and came to the roof of the county magistrate's mansion. Looking at the huge crowd of people, his heart was suddenly filled with excitement.
"Xu Jia, have you seen the young master?"
"No, I've checked almost everyone here, and none of them are like that. But why are you so flustered?"
"I saw that kid just now and gave him a monkey-stealing-a-peach move. Then his father showed up. He was 2.5 heads taller than me and as strong as a bull. Luckily I ran fast."
"...You deserve to be beaten to death."
Just when Xu Jia was speechless about Xu Yi's behavior, the crowd began to get agitated.
"Look, the magistrate is on the roof!"
"Mr. County Magistrate, didn't you ask for rain? Why did you go up there?"
Xu Jia and Xu Yi looked up and were petrified. Wasn't that the young master? How could the current emperor's son-in-law, the son of Duke Xu, be the county magistrate of this damn place?! There must be some mistake! Hey!
"When you learned that this county magistrate requested for rain, you common people actually dared not bring umbrellas or basins. You are so stupid." Xu Xiaoyi said with great momentum, looking down on the crowd.
"Sir, if you can really pray for rain, I would be willing to serve you like a slave for the rest of my life."
"I do."
"I do, too!"
..............
There were more and more voices below, and almost everyone said it once.
"Ahahaha, fine! Fine! You all actually want to be my slaves! Then I can only reluctantly accept you, a bunch of slaves!"
"Sir, you have to pray for rain! In my opinion, it is impossible for me to serve you like a slave for the rest of my life."
The crowd suddenly burst into laughter. Xi Liangkang was anxious, watching the adults embarrassing themselves up there. Couldn't the adults hear that this was cross-dressing?
