Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 276: Don’t Touch the Fox’s Tail (3)

The next morning, Shi Qi was woken up by the shaking of the head. Another wave of foul smell hit him, which was really annoying.

"Hey, little master, wake up! The sun is shining on your butt!" A little boy tilted his head and looked at Shi Qi with clear and lively eyes.

Shi Qi suddenly woke up and subconsciously shrank back.

"I...I'm sorry. Did I scare the little master?" The boy scratched his head embarrassedly with his little fleshy hands.

She was indeed shocked. There were men in a nunnery?

Oh no, boy.

Still have hair?

For some reason, the original owner's memories and emotions were not attached to her this time, so she had no memory of many things and many people, and could only complete the mission based on the plot of the novel.

But it’s not a big problem, as everyone here should be seeing her for the first time.

As if he could see Shi Qi's confusion, the boy shook his head and said with a proud look on his face: "Me? I'm not a monk. I'm the nephew of the cook over there. My name is Xiao Jiu."

Shi Qi nodded in understanding.

Yes, although Nan'an Temple is a nunnery, it also has logistics and cooks.

But...the kitchen should be in Nanyuan.

"Then...how did you get here?" Shi Qi asked.

Xiaojiu just smiled shyly, pointed at Shiqi, his face flushed, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Shi Qi didn't understand and pointed at himself: "Me?"

Xiaojiu shook his head, and seeing that she was stunned, he tugged at the corner of Shiqi's clothes.

What? Do you have feelings for her?

This shouldn't happen, he's still a child!

But if you think about it carefully, the people in this temple are indeed not ordinary people...

Shi Qi put on his clothes and said righteously: "Amitabha, I am devoted to Buddhism, so please don't do anything."

Xiao Jiu was stunned, looking at Shi Qi like a pervert, her voice trembling with anger: "Oh! What? My chicken was running around and you pressed it under my butt! That's your lunch for Dongyuan today!"

Shi Qi was stunned, with a variety of expressions on his face.

It turned out that she didn't close the door at night. No wonder... she felt like there was an extra pad of flesh under her butt.

It turned out to be their lunch.

Tutu: "..."

Shi Qi reacted and tried to get up quickly, but her waist hurt so badly that she just couldn't... lift her butt.

Feeling the chicken gradually dying under his butt, Shi Qi let out a miserable "cuckoo" cry and felt a little embarrassed.

"Hiss...Xiaojiu, how about I hold on and you pull the chicken out?" Shi Qi said with a sad face and a wry smile.

Xiaojiu is also a sensible child. After he understood, he stretched out his little hand and tried to take action.

But the space was small, and Shi Qi was too weak. Xiao Jiu exerted force, but inertia caused him to fall to the side with the chicken in his arms, and his fair face was covered with dust.

"Oh, it hurts." Xiaojiu cried in a whimper, tears as big as soybeans overflowing from his big eyes.

Shi Qi wanted to let him get up by himself, but was afraid that the child would hurt his head, so he struggled to stand up, held his waist, and limped towards Xiao Jiu.

Shi Qi: "Are you okay?"

Xiaojiu shook her head and stopped crying. Shi Qi was about to pull the child up when a sharp voice rang out from the courtyard:

"Qingxin! What are you doing? I was wondering why you didn't get up in the middle of the day or give me a lecture. It turns out you're bullying kids here! What? You want to steal the chicken?"

As expected, Huikong pinched his waist, puffed his beard and glared.

Shi Qi's hand froze in mid-air and his right eyelid twitched.

"I...I didn't, I was trying to help..." Shi Qi waved her hands, wanting to explain, but her waist slipped and she almost fell over.

Seeing Huikong's fierce eyes, Xiaojiu trembled, his legs shook, and he quickly stood up and ran away with the chicken.

Shi Qi: My dear, please say something...

"It's only the first day and you're already ignoring the discipline. Your lunch today is cancelled. Go to the backyard and chop wood and wash clothes! If you can't finish, skip dinner and go sweep the yard!" Huikong kicked the fallen leaves on the ground and left without waiting for Shi Qi to answer.

Shi Qi looked at the relatively clear sky, feeling slightly sad.

If she had known this would happen, she would have just... hugged the chicken longer.

……

backyard.

This is the place where odd jobs are done. There are a few people like Shi Qi who are also doing physical work.

Some of them were sold here, and some were exiled here because they made mistakes.

However, when the women saw that Shi Qi was a newcomer, they threw the work in their hands to her and went about their business of enjoying themselves.

You ask her why she accepted it?

She didn't know either, but she knew that if she refused, she would only be in a worse situation.

It's just like this, enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens.

In every life, she was a noble lady, and even a maid would be afraid that she would get exhausted if she carried a bag.

But now... I'm actually washing clothes and chopping firewood here.

Tutu Nuojiji's voice came: "Host, although life is a bit hard now, don't you think it's wonderful to have a small vegetable garden and a small backyard where you can grow flowers and plants and cook with firewood?"

Shi Qi: "Why don't you come chop wood..."

Tu Tu was stunned: "Um... Xiao Shuaiqi is looking for me, I'm leaving first."

She thought chopping wood and washing clothes would not require much physical effort, but she did not expect that she would have to chop a thousand pieces of wood and more than three hundred monk robes for the entire temple.

The sun was shining brightly and a gentle breeze blew by, blowing the clean sheets on the clothesline.

Through the sheets, you can see a woman doing the laundry.

Her facial features were not bright and attractive, but very pretty and elegant. Even with a bald head, she looked quite refreshing and elegant.

She didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and her hands moved in an orderly manner, neither hurried nor slow. Her slender fingers rubbed and played with the white sheets, then wrung them out to dry and dry them.

It seems like the whole world has slowed down, which is quite charming.

The person involved, Shi Qi:!

Amorous? She also wanted to speed up, but her waist hurt...

Only 0.5x manual speed...

When the sun set, Shi Qi stopped what he was doing for a moment, looked at the monk's robes that were turning into a small mountain, and the wall of firewood, and shook his head and sighed.

"Forget about eating. You won't be hungry if you don't eat for a day." Shi Qi rubbed his shoulders, which were sore as if he had been beaten.

"Okay, Shi... Qingxin, it's getting late. Master Huikong wants you to go." A nun came back from a rest and felt a little sorry to see that Shi Qi had done so much work.

Shi Qi endured the pain, stood up, nodded, and left.

……

"Oh, you're not pretending to be weak anymore? Can't you do the work too?" Huikong saw Shi Qi coming back, turning the Buddhist beads in his hand and raising his eyebrows.

Shi Qi's lips were chapped. She hadn't drunk any water for a day and was exhausted.

"Okay, people who don't know would think I'm abusing you. Here, your dinner is in your room. After you finish eating, go sweep the front yard. The Queen Mother will come to the temple to pray next month and will stay for a long time, so you have to keep it clean." After Huikong said this, he waved his hand impatiently at Shiqi.

"Okay, there's no point in telling you so much. If you have other thoughts, you'd better cut them off as soon as possible."

When Shi Qi heard that the Queen Mother was coming to the temple to pray, his eyes lit up.

She did have other things on her mind.

In the original text, the reason why the heroine was sent back to the palace was partly because of the Queen Mother. When the Queen Mother went to the temple to pray for blessings, she was assassinated by rebels on a rainy night. Thanks to the heroine for saving her life, the Queen Mother was very grateful and wanted to let her go back to the palace with her to serve her as a maid, but the heroine declined.

Later, something happened in the palace and the emperor fell ill for unknown reasons. The empress dowager was in charge of government affairs from behind the curtain. He sent letters to her many times to listen to her suggestions and successfully resolved several major issues. The empress dowager admired her very much.

Then the emperor woke up, was amazed and praised the original owner's way of governing, and made an exception and sent the original owner back to the palace.

If she could follow the original text... and successfully rescue the Queen Mother, then her next step would be much smoother.

When Shi Qi came to his senses, he found himself in his room.

Thinking that I would be able to live a better life soon gave myself a little encouragement.

But when she saw the cracked half-hard bun and a glass of water in the iron basin...

She is angry!

She is really angry!

"What the hell is this! Not even a dog would eat it!" Shi Qi kicked the steamed bun aside and lay down on the bed angrily.

Not long after, a bald little head popped out from under the quilt. Seeing that there was no one around, it picked up the half steamed bun and some water and started eating it in small bites.

Bald: "Host, what are you doing?"

Unexpectedly, he was caught eating secretly. Shi Qi's hand holding the steamed bun froze: "I... cough, do you know how to save food? Do you know that every grain of rice is hard-earned? Stupid... oooh, I choked to death..."

Tutu: "..."
