Chapter 3199 (Three Thousand One Hundred and Ninety-Nine) Slip

The subordinate was worried and said, “I… think it is…”

“What did I say?” Tie Wandao asked.

The subordinate said: “The clan leader said that anything that needs to be reported on the same day must not be delayed until the next day.”

“You remember it, don’t you?” Tie Wandao asked, “Then why did you ask just now? Can you wait until tomorrow?”

“Then… I’d better come today?” said the subordinate.

“What nonsense!” Tie Wandao said, “Didn’t we just finish talking? Can’t we wait until the next day? Don’t you understand what I mean?”

“I understand…I understand…” the subordinate said, “Then…when is the best time for me to come?”

Tie Wandao mentioned a time and said, “If I don’t come to the meeting room by then, you can figure it out on your own.”

The subordinate thought: If the patriarch doesn’t come to the meeting hall, what can I do? Should I go look for him? What if I can’t find him? Is he doomed to be punished?

“Chief, if that’s the case, how can I find you?” asked the subordinate.

Tie Wandao was too lazy to answer him seriously, and just said: “You can find it wherever you want!”

The subordinate asked: “If the patriarch is not in the meeting room, where will he go later?”

Tie Wandao was already upset, and said, “I’ll go back to the bedroom to rest now, what do you think?”

“Then I can’t go to the bedroom and disturb the patriarch, right?” the subordinate said again.

Annoyed, Tie Wandao said: “Why are you so long-winded!”

Tie Wandao glared at his subordinate, wanting to see what he was holding in his hand so that he could infer what he was going to report to him.

He noticed that the hand was swollen and said, “Look at your left hand, it’s so swollen… I thought it was a piece of fat meat full of oil. No wonder your brain is clogged with oil!” “I fell like this because I went to the sinkhole before.” The subordinate said, “My hand landed on the ground when I fell.”

Tie Wandao, who had not intended to listen to his report, became even more worried when he heard him talk about the situation near the sinkhole. He had wanted to go back to the bedroom to take a nap, but suddenly he lost all sleepiness and asked, “What happened near the sinkhole?”

“Should I tell you now?” the subordinate asked.

“Nonsense!” Tie Wandao said, “I’m asking you now, when are you going to tell me?”

“Oh…” the subordinate said, “When I was near the sinkhole, my feet suddenly slipped and I fell to the ground. But when I looked at the ground, I found that it was not slippery at all. I really don’t understand why.”

“He’s just stupid!” Tie Wandao said, “He was so stupid that he didn’t even know what happened when he fell down! If there were other people around, they would have become more of a joke!”

“Chief, no, the person next to me told me that he also slipped and fell for no apparent reason before.” The subordinate said, “He also asked me if I saw anything on the ground.”

Tie Wandao obviously felt something was wrong and asked, “Did that person ask you this seriously?”

“Yes, Chief.” The subordinate replied.

“Did that person talk about this matter seriously?” Tie Wandao asked again.

“Yes.” said the subordinate.

“How did you answer?” Tie Wandao asked.

“I just said it felt slippery, but I didn’t see anything on the ground.” the subordinate said again.

“What did that person say?” Tie Wandao asked.

“That man also said he didn’t see anything on the ground, and he was wondering,” the subordinate said, “because one of his brothers also slipped and fell nearby.”
