Chapter 134: Particularly Awkward
Chapter 134: Particularly Awkward
Two days passed in a flash, and the person who vowed to exercise was still staying in the house without taking any action. On the contrary, the training room that was renovated according to her requirements had been completed.
"It's quite fast. Take me to see it."
After listening to Wei Yu's words, Xin Baoer finally put down the pen in her hand, shook her sore wrist, and said with interest.
After passing through many winding roads, the two finally stopped in front of a house that looked shaky.
Xin Baoer silently gave a thumbs up to Wei Yu and the others. This place was obviously a dangerous building, but they were lucky to be brave. The timid ones would not dare to step through the door.
With the creaking sound of the wooden door, the two walked in. Unlike the shabby and simple outside, the inside was very spacious, about fifty to sixty meters long and thirty to forty meters wide. The beams and pillars were made of thick round logs, which looked very solid.
At this time, there were several people standing inside, discussing something enthusiastically around the parallel bars.
Shang Shiyi saw the two people coming over with sharp eyes, trotted over, and said excitedly: "Miss, you are finally here. What are these things you asked us to do for? We have studied them for a long time, but we still don't understand how to use them."
"I came here to explain it to you, but you are so impatient."
Xin Baoer reached out and pinched her fair and tender little face. It felt good. It seemed that the nutrition she had given them recently was not in vain. She would have to give Lancao that girl a long month's pay later.
"These are the simplest exercise equipment. Some are for training balance, and some are for training strength. The only requirement is that you cannot use internal force or lightness skills."
As Xin Baoer spoke, she jumped onto the horizontal bar, performed two moves neatly, then jumped down, sat down on the ground, and never wanted to get up again.
"Baoer, your body is really too weak. Starting tomorrow, I will wake you up in the morning to exercise." Wei Yu stepped forward, pulled the man up, and advised earnestly.
"The ground is cold, don't sit on it, lean on me and rest for a while. You tell me what to do next, and we'll do it ourselves. If there's anything wrong, you can guide us."
"Oh, okay." Xin Baoer nodded obediently, with a slightly resentful expression on her face.
She knew how strict instructor Wei Yu was. After all, it was quite common to see Wuyin being scolded like a grandson by her.
After a whole morning of demonstration and experience, several girls who usually have good physical strength and energy were exhausted and panting. As soon as they returned to their residence, they collapsed on the stone bench in the yard and did not move.
"Lancao, make more food today." Xin Baoer walked behind everyone, looking at the little girls who were usually full of energy, and said with a smile, "Now you support me and I support my waist,"
"Oh, is someone from other courtyards coming to eat?" Lancao responded quickly and asked casually, but she was thinking in her heart that if the master of the main courtyard came, she would have to prepare some of his favorite food to make her own girl proud. If some ignorant person came, she would be too lazy to serve him and let him eat or not.
"No, it's just that they have worked hard today, they are tired and hungry, so they will eat more."
Xin Baoer looked at Lancao who was working more and more efficiently, smiled and patted her shoulder, "You have worked hard, I will increase your monthly salary later."
"Okay, I'll add another meat dish for you." Lancao skipped into the kitchen.
Three minutes later.
"I'll go settle accounts with them."
Before Xin Baoer walked into her room, she saw Lancao, who had just been excited about getting ready to do something big, rushing out of the kitchen with a knife in her hand, as if she was looking for someone to fight to the death. She pulled Mother Lin, who was trying to hold her back, and she staggered and almost fell.
Xin Baoer was startled and quickly ran over to support Mother Lin. At the same time, Wei Yu pulled the furious Lancao back.
The little girl was obviously very angry, her eyes were red.
"Who is so blind as to make our Xiaocao angry?" Zhao Xian has become close to Lancao recently. The two of them often get together to do needlework when they have nothing to do, and their relationship is heating up. Now that he saw his good friend being wronged, he quickly ran over to show his support.
"Yes, Lancao, tell me who bullied you, and I will help you deal with her. If you go out alone, what if you get hurt?" Shang Shiyi also came up to cheer her up and clenched his fist in front of Lancao.
"Okay, shut up. Lancao, tell me what made you so reckless? You almost hurt Mother Lin." Wei Yu asked coldly.
Ever since Wei Yu recognized Xin Baoer as his master, he has been consciously or unconsciously learning Wang Chuan's style of behavior in front of Chu Xingchen. Seeing that Xin Baoer was worried about Mother Lin's health at the moment, he subconsciously said what his master wanted to say but was unable to say.
As expected, as soon as Wei Yu spoke, the courtyard fell silent. Lancao looked at Mother Lin with a guilty and self-blaming look, and said aggrievedly, "It's all because of those three people from the courtyard next door. They are so naive. They come here every now and then to ask for food. If you don't give them, they'll snatch them away. I cooked chicken soup for the young lady in the morning, but before she could even drink it, that bitch Bijun took away the pot with her. She even said that it was to nourish Xu Yingxue, who was dying in their courtyard. Is she that kind? It's just an excuse."
Xin Baoer checked Mother Lin's body and made sure she was not injured, just in time to hear Lancao finish her last words.
"When did it start?" Xin Baoer asked with a frown.
"Ah?" Lancao was thinking about how to scold Bijun to vent her anger, and she didn't react for a while.
"Baoer is asking you a question, but this little girl must still be thinking about how to curse." Zhao Xian pushed Lancao, who was gritting her teeth, with a smile, reminding her to answer.
Lancao reacted, smiled at Xin Baoer embarrassedly, asked the question again, and then answered:
"Oh, it was after the housewarming party. Didn't the Second Master say that day that he would let you be the housekeeper from now on? So when she asked for it, I gave it to her. Who knew they would become so demanding? Even Mrs. Wang from the main courtyard didn't come to ask for it. Who do they think they are?" Lancao complained again after hearing this.
"Okay, don't be angry. It's not a big deal. Make a list of the things they took away these days and ask Wangchuan to reimburse you." Xin Baoer rubbed Lancao's puffy face. "You've made yourself as angry as a pufferfish. You have to ask Wangchuan to compensate you more."
"Really? I'll list them right away. I remember them all clearly." Lancao immediately became alert upon hearing that. She pushed people aside and started to make a list.
"Don't be anxious, we are all waiting for you to feed us. Cook first, okay? I'm starving." Shang Shiyi pulled the person back, hugged Lancao's arm, and said pitifully.
"Oh, I almost forgot." After saying that, he turned around and went back to the kitchen in a hurry.
Mother Lin smiled and shook her head, "This girl is really energetic." She gently pushed away Xin Baoer's hand that was supporting her, "Miss, you two go and take a rest first. I will go in and help her, so that she won't tear down the kitchen."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.
Xin Baoer touched her forehead helplessly. Ever since this girl came here, it was as if she had awakened some extraordinary bloodline. Her temper became more and more explosive. Now even she could hardly control her. She was afraid that only the Second Master could make her behave.
After dinner, Xin Baoer went back to her room to continue writing and drawing. She did not stop until the light in the room dimmed. She then got up and walked around the room to stretch her stiff muscles.
"Dong dong dong" the knock on the door sounded.
"Come in!" Xin Baoer thought it was someone in the yard, so she didn't care and continued doing her "stretching exercises." She said casually.
With a creaky sound, the wooden door was pushed open. The light from the door was blocked by a tall figure, and the room became even darker.
Xin Baoer, who was twisting her waist, was startled by the sudden change and turned around quickly to look.
"Ouch! My waist."
Chu Xingchen was standing at the door, still hesitating whether to come in or not. When he heard Xin Baoer's cry of pain, he no longer cared about anything else. He took two or three steps over and supported the person who was frozen there in an awkward posture.
"What's wrong? Are you hurt anywhere?" The gentle tone was mixed with a bit of anxiety and full of concern.
"No...it's okay, I twisted my waist, it will be fine after a while. Why didn't you make a sound when you came here?" Xin Baoer complained softly while rubbing her waist.
"I scared you, I'm sorry!" Chu Xingchen blamed himself.
Xin Baoer looked up at the man in surprise, "Why do you seem to be acting weird lately? Do you have something to ask me?"
