Chapter 316 Survival has nothing to do with dignity (please collect)
The main room is very spacious, and it looks like two rooms are opened. And to Wuzhi's surprise, there were no pillars in the room. You know, there were six pillars in the hall of Guihua Building to maintain such a large space, otherwise, the second floor would have collapsed. Although the main room is only a one-story structure, even so, without the support of pillars, the material of the beams of the house is required to be extremely excellent.
It must be a complete and thick wood, and the stitching must not work. Even there can be no trace of insect bite on this wood, otherwise it will affect the robustness of the roof of the house. This huge wood is enough to be the keel of a big ship. It's a little wasteful to put it here.
Wu Zhi shook his head gently, and then he continued to follow Gao Ming. At this time, Gao Ming suddenly whispered, "The old lady only lets you in alone. I can't help you with the rest."
It seems that Gao Ming is ready to escape. If this arrangement is made, there is no need to give Gao Ming any name, because the two people will not appear in front of the old lady at all, but if Lieutenant Gao was also there, perhaps Gao Ming would not have done so.
What choice can Wuzhi have? He can only let it go and nodded slightly: "Then you go ahead. If there is anything you need, I will find a way to find you." Wuzhi's words are murderous, which means that you don't think you can be clean as soon as you leave. I can bite you casually when you go in. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, you can't avoid this.
Gao Ming's face was ugly for a moment, and then immediately returned to normal, nodded gently, and then turned around and left like a gust of wind. Wuzhi had no choice but to continue to move forward.
There are two turns in the corridor entering the core of the main room, which is indeed a little too complicated, but the room should be full of women. The most reasonable arrangement is also. Wuzhi tried to think about these things to relieve the deep tension in his heart. He kept telling himself that the old lady was very easy to deal with. She will be as kind and talkative as every old lady in the countryside of Yanggu. Time will take away all the sharpness of a person, and everyone who enters his twilight years is actually almost the same.
After all, he was in a room, so Wuzhi walked less than 20 steps and came out of this somewhat circuitous corridor. In front of him was exactly like a living room. As soon as he entered the door, Wuzhi couldn't help blocking his eyes with his sleeves. The room was so bright that his eyes had adapted to the night. It's often uncomfortable. Fortunately, the previous fish oil candles and red comets made Wuzhi slightly prepared. Otherwise, I'm afraid his eyes will be blinded when he enters the door.
This brightness made Wuzhi unable to see what was around him, but he knew that the old lady must have sat in front of him and waited for him. If you look forward hard at this time, it is a very rude behavior, which will certainly arouse the old lady's disgust. There is a saying that many people are not surprised. Besides, there is nothing I can't erase with such an old man.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhi no longer hesitated and immediately knelt down and kowtowed forward. The ancestors are here, and I kowtowed to you. Close to "bang bang" three times in a row. Wu Zhi kowtowed while thinking that the inn clerk kowtowed a few times today. Unexpectedly, he would return it in the evening. Fortunately, even if it goes in and out, even if it is a waste of time, there is no loss. Wu Zhi imagined this kowtow as a commodity sold by merchants in his heart. This quantitative thought made him feel much more comfortable.
Nodding is just a kind of respectful quantification, just like putting water in a bottle and jar, which is convenient for weighing. And kowtowing absolutely does not represent the loss of dignity, because if you don't give respect when you deserve it, then dignity will be lost forever. This is what Wu Zhi learned in his long career as a small man. Everything is just a stopgap. He will not feel guilty for telling a lie, nor will he feel uneasy about breaking a vow. He is convinced of this. He believes that he will always win according to this practice.
While kowtopping, he thought about these ideas completely, which could ensure that Wuzhi still maintained the posture of a dog when he stood up.
Dogs can live around people, but wolves are doomed to die. Of course, it is not that the dog biting its owner to death has never happened.
After the three heads were kowtopped, there was no sound in front of him, which made Wuzhi extremely embarrassed. He didn't know whether he should stand up and continue to walk forward, or continue to maintain this kneeling posture and wait for the old lady's opinion. But no matter what you do, it doesn't seem appropriate.
After kowto, the person who kowtows should stand up. This is the script and living habit that people have been following for thousands of years. Wuzhi believes that everyone knows and will follow this principle, but who knows what to do if one party does not communicate in the way commonly known as the agreement?
Compared with standing up, there is no doubt that it is much safer to continue to kneel. But you can never kneel here. Maybe there is something wrong with the old lady's heart. She just likes this kind of torture. If I kneel here and don't speak, she won't say anything and let me kneel here forever.
Maybe someone really died like this before. Wu Zhi recalled listening to the conversation between the doorman and Gao Ming when he entered the back door. It seems that this lieutenant's mansion is really not a place for ordinary people to stay. Wu Zhi bit his lip fiercely and said loudly, "The villain visited the ancestors. The villain is here to find delicious food for his ancestors."
"Oh? Is that what Gao Ming said? An old voice came out, but the direction of the sound was not in front, but on the left side of Wuzhi, which made Wuzhi very confused.
But since the question is asked, it must be answered. What's more, since the other side has pointed out such a smart name, even if it is not the old lady, her status should be highly respected.
"Yes, the villain was the one who came to make the appetite of the ancestors better." Wuzhi told the truth, and now he also feels that what he just said is a little inappropriate. If it comes to delicious food, I'm afraid there are all kinds of things in this lieutenant's mansion. Even there are so many things that Wuzhi has never seen. What's more, the lieutenant's mansion, it's better not to speak too slowly.
"Oh? That's good." As he spoke, he walked forward and finally stopped in front of Wuzhi.
