Chapter 9 try to play dumb

The next morning, Casper had to make a big pot of mashed potatoes for the great magician. Chu Wa ate up the whole pot of mashed potatoes before putting down the spoon.Then he wiped his mouth with his magic robe with satisfaction and said: "Ouch, where's my food?" Casper asked despondently.He had hoped that the great magician would leave him something. "Oh, take it easy, man." The magician scratched with two fingers, and a piece of bread appeared, with butter and cheese spread on it. "This is for you, Zobel," said the magician. "However, you can eat later. I have something to tell you..." The magician deliberately coughed, and then began to explain to Casper:

"Today, I can only leave you alone at home. I'm going up to Buxtower to visit a colleague, and I'll be back late at night. If you're hungry, I can fetch you from the food store." Love food. Then do things well. Remember what I tell you to do. First, prepare dinner by peeling six baskets of potatoes and shredding them; The firewood was moved and split, and stacked to fill three shelves; third, the kitchen floor was scrubbed clean. The last and fourth thing was to dig out all the places in the vegetable garden that did not grow vegetables. You can re-tell what I told you. "

"Obey your orders, Mr. Chibamon, the great magician!" Casper said.He already knew what to do now.He tried to look as stupid as possible.He thought that doing so would disappoint Chu Wameng.As long as the master magician gets angry, he will be driven out of the magic house. Therefore, Casper was trying to pretend as he planned, his eyeballs rolled up and down, and he scratched his head and cheek from time to time.Chu Wa suddenly looked at him like this, and he really became impatient. "Forget it, forget it!" cried the magician. "I'm going out. Do you remember what I told you? Well, tell me, and repeat what I told you to do."

"Did you say what you asked me to do?" Casper asked. "Oh,...Damn it, why did I come here? I still remember it firmly just now. But I blinked... Please wait a moment, oh, I figured it out!" Casper pushed Zobel's hat over his forehead. "First, bring in six baskets of potatoes, split and stack them; second, fill and scrub three shelves of firewood; third, prepare supper, and scrape the kitchen floor and shred it. Four……" "Shut your beak!" the great magician shouted. "Don't talk nonsense, don't talk any more." Casper looked panicked.

"Why don't you let me go on?" he asked. "I said, you got it all wrong. It's a mess. It's a mess. Start all over again." "Yes, Mr. Fasspin, the great wizard! First, dig six baskets of potatoes; second, move the kitchen floor and split and stack it; third, scrub the vegetable garden where no vegetables grow. Fourth, Ouch, what is the fourth?" "Stupid?" Chu Wa shouted angrily. "What a stupid fool!" "What?" Casper asked. "Why do you still ask me?" Chu Wa said, patting his forehead lightly. "Just because you're an idiot! An incorrigible idiot! You can't even remember such a simple thing! I can't help you, I can't stand it!"

The great magician stomped his feet angrily. "Oh, here it is!" thought Casper. "He's kicking me out!" But what a pity!The truth is not as he planned! The great magician Chu Wameng didn't drive him out because he needed Casper's use. The great magician clacked two fingers, and managed to get a bottle of brandy from the air.He gulped down the gulp, drank his anger along with the spirits, and then slowly opened his mouth: "Zobel, you're such an idiot that it's irritating. But it's good for you, too. I'll just keep it simple. Before you make dinner today, peel six baskets of potatoes. Peel them. Later, cut into thin shreds. Remember it well. I want to eat dry fried potato shreds for dinner. For other things, since you are so stupid, I can't do anything about you, so I have to forget about it. I have to leave quickly. Otherwise, my colleagues at Buxtower must think that I have forgotten my agreement with him."

The great magician Chu Wameng hurriedly walked to the balcony on the top of the magic house tower.When he got there, he spread his big gown embroidered with red and yellow patterns on the floor, and began to chant curses.After a while, the big devil's gown carried him into the air and flew straight to Buxtutai. Now what about Casper? Casper finished his bread and butter and cheese and went to work, sitting in the kitchen peeling potatoes and thinking about the events of the past two days. His first thought was Zobel. Yesterday, when he came out of the den of thieves, Huo Zhenbo chained Zobel's left foot to the wall of the back room.On both sides of Zobel, there is another wooden barrel for gunpowder and another wooden barrel for pepper.

I don't know if Zobel is still chained and lying on the cold stone floor? "As long as Huo Zhenbo gives him a quilt or a bundle of straw." Casper thought to himself. The more Kasper missed Zobel, the more he worried about him, wondering what would happen to him after he came out...
