Chapter 19: Even Heaven Cries
Seeing Guo Yuan reveal that silly smile again, Guo Jia didn't know if this guy was really silly or pretending to be stupid. How could he think faster than anyone else in these aspects, but be completely useless in other areas?
Kuo Chia and Ming got down from their horses. On the other side, that dog was still there barking non-stop.
However, I only heard the dog barking and didn't see any sign of a dog. In this era, there shouldn't be any "show-off" pet dogs, which means that the owner's family was afraid of accidentally hurting someone, so they had already tied up the dog.
At this point, Guo Jia couldn't help but secretly say "Amitabha", it's a good thing that innocent people weren't killed indiscriminately. This family, living in such a remote place, even knows to tie up their dog, they're obviously kind-hearted good people.
Guo Jia instinctively stretched out his hand and pushed Guo Yuan away.
"Let's pretend, ah, almost got into character. I'll go inform the master first," said Guo Jia.
"What? Boss, you're coming again? Or should I come instead, it's more convenient that way." Guo Yuan couldn't help but say.
"Rude person! You're such a rude person!" Is this chick doing it on purpose? Ah? Which pot doesn't open, which pot?! "Your big brother me is a scholar, a civilized person, you know? No matter what I do, I must treat others with courtesy. Even if the other party isn't being friendly, I'll still be courteous first and then take action!" Guo Jia exclaimed while jumping up and down.
Unfortunately, Guo Jia's words were apparently falling on deaf ears again. He saw Guo Yuan scratch his head and ask:
"Boss, why are you 'big brother' now instead of 'boss'?"
"Idiot! When I was a scholar, I was your elder brother. When I'm not a scholar, that's when you're the big shot!" Guo Jia explained with annoyance.
"Brother, you've always been a bookworm, so why are you now my boss?" Guo Yan asked in surprise.
"Ah~" Guo Jia slapped his forehead, "I'm really worried about your IQ!"
Looking at Guo Yuan who still had a simple and bewildered expression, Guo Jia sighed.
"Me too, when did I start having expectations of you?"
Patted Guo Yuan's shoulder,
"Keep working hard slowly, anyway, for now I'm still your boss, after we arrive in Luoyang, I'll become your big brother again."
Then Guo Jia didn't care whether Guo Yuan understood or not, and directly walked towards the house amidst the barking of dogs.
Knock knock knock!
Guo Jia knocked on the door lightly, just like he did yesterday.
"Who?" A cautious voice immediately sounded, the dog outside had been barking for so long, it was impossible that the people inside hadn't heard, they were probably just afraid, so they didn't come out to take a look.
Kuo Chia's eyes lit up because from the sound, inside was actually a lovely young girl.
"Cough." Guo Jia cleared his throat, and although he knew the people inside couldn't see him, he still subconsciously adjusted his clothes to avoid startling the beauty.
After everything was ready, he slowly and calmly said:
"Don't be alarmed, miss. I'm just a student on my way to Luoyang to study, and I happened to pass by here when night fell, so I took the liberty of asking for lodging for one night. You don't have to worry at all - I study Confucianism and read books about sages and virtuous people. To be honest, I'm not even capable of tying up a chicken, let alone pose any danger."
Kuo Chia's words are simply like those of a salesperson. While he may not have learned other things, the level of skill in being thick-skinned and shameless that salespeople possess, Kuo Chia has mastered it perfectly.
However, it may be that this salesperson was a guest performer after all and boasted too much; or maybe the other party was just too cautious, so in the end, the people inside still rejected Guo Jia's request.
"Sorry, it's a bit inconvenient here."
As soon as he heard this, Guo Jia burst out laughing, a cold laugh. Indeed, you might be a bit embarrassed, but Guo Jia was utterly shameless!
Yesterday, I spoke nicely to someone and ended up hitting a wall. Today, I spoke nicely again and hit the wall once more. Do they really want to force Guo Jia to be a bad person?! As a big shot, he always loses face in front of his own underlings. How can he still mix with others in the future?
Of course, if things are done carelessly, what if the younger ones are led astray? There's still a young loli here, and Guo Jia doesn't want to end up turning her into an ancient version of a little tart.
But now, hum, anyway, he has already made a move, so Guo Jia immediately changed his tone and coldly snorted.
"Girl, I don't know if you've heard, when you're out and about, rely on friends, if there's trouble on the road, just shout; being convenient for others is also convenient for yourself, but if it's inconvenient for others, humph, then don't blame me for being careless!! Of course, I also know that many times, some small things, let go of them when you can, those who come out to mingle will eventually have to pay back. But sometimes, even if I'm willing to put the matter aside, my brothers won't let it go, right?"
Just now he was still a polite reader, and suddenly he became the big brother of **. Guo Jia's face changed, and it really compared to the Sichuan Opera.
After finishing speaking, Guo Jia gave a wink to Guo Yuan who was standing beside him.
Unfortunately, this big fool didn't react at all. Helpless, Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh at Guo Yuan's IQ again and could only directly order:
"Go knock on the door."
Originally, Guo Jia was planning to put on an act with Guo Yuan, a duet of good cop and bad cop. Guo Yuan would play the villain to scare the other side, while Guo Jia would play the peacemaker in between, and finally both sides would "take a step back" and let things slide.
But who would have thought that this kid Guo Yuan not only didn't understand Guo Jia's meaning, but instead tilted his head to one side.
"I'm not going."
"Are you not going?!" Guo Jia was at a loss as to whether he should be angry or amused, or rather, he was so angry that he wanted to laugh, and his laughter made him even angrier. "Don't you even listen to my words anymore?" Guo Jia shouted with a straight face, not caring about saving face anymore.
Kuo Yuan still looked displeased and replied directly
"Big shot, you're being unreasonable about this matter, I'm not going!"
"Even meat doesn't sound appetizing anymore?" Guo Jia asked.
Guo Yuan hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and answering
"I'm full!"
"Haha! Haha! Haha!" Guo Jia laughed loudly towards the sky three times, and before he knew it, a fine rain started to fall from the sky. How desolate! Even the heavens are crying!
You're being overly sympathetic! You're being too kind for your own good! Oh sister! Do you deserve that face of yours?!
You, Guo Yuan, are just that kind of guy who doesn't know how to appreciate the situation. When Xishi brings a plate of steamed buns to the table, all you see is the buns and not Xishi; when Yang Guifei scolds you with two sentences, you can also slap her in the face without hesitation, this should be your style, Guo Yuan.
How come you weren't polite when facing an old man yesterday, but now you're being so reserved?!
An awkward silence, for a moment, the three people outside the door, Guo Jia's head was raised to look at the sky at a 45-degree angle with a worried expression, Guo Yuan tilted his head to the other side, somewhat discontented and seemingly also afraid to face Guo Jia. As for Xiaoyan, she had no idea what to say at this time and probably didn't dare to say anything either.
······
Time passed unknowingly for a long time, and that dog barked and barked, but at some point it stopped barking.
It wasn't until a sudden sneeze tomorrow that this silence was broken.
Yawn!
Tomorrow, she hugged her arms and shrank at the door. Although there was an eave, the rain still drifted over from time to time. Moreover, tomorrow's child was small and short, and a large piece of her body had already gotten wet. However, she never opened her mouth to complain.
