Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

Since Gu Yue had the dream that day, he slept well every night and woke up at dawn.

At around six o'clock, which was the time of Chenshi, Gu Yue climbed out of bed.

He felt for the first time in a long time the anticipation he had felt as a child when he went downtown the next day to visit the botanical gardens.

I made an agreement with Uncle Beideng yesterday to take his ox cart to Liuli Town today.

As soon as he went out, he saw Gu Xu. Gu Xu wore Gu Dashi's old clothes, which were still a little too big, but he looked much more energetic. He still had that calm expression that made it hard to tell his true emotions. He smiled at Gu Yue, but it wasn't really sincere.

Gu Yue touched the purse in his chest pocket and tightened his belt. He took the bundle of firewood he had prepared yesterday and went out with Gu Xu to Uncle Beideng's house.

The sky was bright and there were people walking here and there on the village paths. They were all villagers carrying hoes and buckets of water. When they saw the two of them going out together, they looked at them with curiosity.

"Gu Dashi, are you finally going to sell this brat?" Feng Erlu looked between the two of them and asked with a grin.

"Watch your mouth!" Gu Yue was furious. He pushed him hard and threatened him fiercely, "If you don't behave properly, I'll chop your intestines out first."

Feng Erlu was so frightened that he didn't dare to pick up the carrying pole even though it fell to the ground.

"Why did you mess with him? Don't you know that he almost strangled Huang Lao Shu to death two days ago?" Zhang Laosan on the side quickly pulled him.

Gu Yue glared at Feng Erlu grimly and turned away. Feng Erlu was one of Gu Dashi's cronies, and he also instigated Gu Dashi to sell out Gu Xu.

What kind of bear is this? Let's break off diplomatic relations.

It's not a disaster year. How could someone in Northern Qin, a place with good weather and abundant harvests, come up with the idea of ​​selling a child?

He felt a little guilty and glanced at Gu Xu. Gu Xu's eyes were fixed on Feng Erlu, and his eyes were cold.

"He's talking nonsense, don't take it seriously." Gu Yue said.

"No, Dad." Gu Xu answered meekly.

Gu Yue kept meeting people along the way, and looked at them with his eyes slanted, with a particularly unruly expression. In fact, he was analyzing the names of people in his mind, deciding which ones he could interact with and which ones he should interact with less.

Not many people greeted Gu Yue, and those who did did so mostly out of respect for Gu Xu, who was by his side. Gu Yue remembered everyone by heart, and thought that he could build relationships with these families who were not afraid of Gu Dashi and were willing to help Gu Xu.

When we arrived at Uncle Beideng's house, a ox cart was parked in front of the door and Aunt Deng was putting medicinal herbs into the cart.

"Aunt Deng." Gu Yue greeted her with a smile.

He wanted to bring some simple gifts, but there was nothing at home, only a pile of rotten cotton and clothes. Thinking of Uncle Beideng's family with few boys and Aunt Deng's hard work, he thought the firewood could be of some use, so he brought a bundle over.

It's really shabby, but there's nothing we can do about it.

But Aunt Deng was a down-to-earth person. Seeing the firewood in Gu Yue's hand, she was obviously happy: "Oh, you really care about me. I go out to collect firewood every day, and my waist hurts a lot!"

Gu Yue helped his aunt put the firewood in the yard, and Uncle Beideng also came out at this time.

"I have nothing at home, only firewood is of some value, so I'm giving it to you, aunt." Gu Yue said smoothly.

"What kind of firewood is this? Why does it look so much like a table leg?" Uncle Beideng took a look and realized something was wrong.

"They were all broken furniture from the main room. I chopped them up." Gu Yue said, "They can burn for a while, so we don't have to cut down trees."

"Humph, you are thoughtful." Uncle Beideng still hadn't let go of his prejudice. Aunt Deng was kind and didn't show any displeasure to Gu Yue. She smiled.

The three of them got on the ox cart together, and Uncle Beideng drove it, shaking as it headed towards the town.

There were fields all along the way, so flat that you could see the horizon in the distance. There were many farmers working in the fields, scattered among the green wheat seedlings, which was really a beautiful sight.

Liuli Town is not far away, and we arrived there in about an hour.

The town is not small, with two main streets running vertically and horizontally. The center is home to important places such as government offices and money houses, and the rest of the shops are distributed along the street from the inside to the outside according to size.

Uncle Beideng's clinic is located at the end of East-West Street. Although it is not big, it is the only clinic in Liuli Town. Therefore, Uncle Beideng, who has worked many years to rise from an apprentice to a doctor, earns a lot of money.

Gu Yue and Gu Xu got out of the car in front of the clinic, thanked Uncle Beideng and left.

In the morning, the streets were bustling with people.

Gu Yue was very familiar with this place in his memory, but it was his first time to be there physically.

There are many scattered stalls along the street, and the shops on both sides of the road have flags, which can be said to be prosperous.

After all, Liuli Town is a town close to the capital, so it won't be too backward.

Quite novel.

Gu Yue extended his hand to Gu Xu.

Gu Xu looked up at him, puzzled.

"There are kidnappers in this town, and I'm afraid you'll be abducted." Gu Yue said frankly because it was true.

"...I'm not young anymore, kidnappers don't want people my age." Gu Xu turned his head away, refusing. He had grown to the height of Gu Yue's chest, so he wouldn't be kidnapped.

"Okay, but you have to follow me closely." Gu Yue didn't force it.

However, after he took a few steps out, he felt a hand put into his palm.

Gu Yue held on tightly and looked back at Gu Xu. The young man had a calm expression, as if nothing had happened.

Gu Yue was secretly delighted.

The male protagonist really changed his opinion of him!

This joy lasted for about two or three hundred meters before it was ruthlessly extinguished.

Because Gu Yue saw...

Open air hot pot stall!

Although the tables that had just been moved out were very simple, basically a wooden table with a pot embedded in the middle like a stove, the red spicy soup inside and the small condiment tables on both sides of the door made Gu Yue feel as if he was standing in front of Haidilao.

The store is not big, and there are only two people who look like waiters busying around.

One of them probably noticed someone looking over here and came over enthusiastically.

"Are you two here for hotpot? We have a variety of nourishing hotpot bases. Our signature Sichuan spicy hotpot base uses red chili peppers specially supplied from Shu. One bite will warm your heart!"

"But we are still preparing the ingredients. You two can come to the store to take a rest and taste our Lao Yue special naan fruit cake."

The sign at the door of the store is also very novel, with a low-key wooden plaque with two red wooden characters painted on it: "Lao Yue".

"Who opened this... Lao Yue? It looks really novel." Gu Yue asked in a tricky way.

Gu Xu suddenly looked up at him.

"Sir, you may not know that Lao Yue is a Bei Qin signature chain store that originated in Luoyang, the capital. The taste and service are certified by the nobles in the capital!"

There were even some lines of dialogue. Listening to those modern words, Gu Yue felt like he had traveled back in time.

Moreover, he didn't believe that the name Lao Yue had nothing to do with Haidilao.

"Thank you, we're not hungry for the moment." Gu Yue rejected the enthusiastic waiter.

"Sir, welcome back next time!" The waiter said with a very good attitude.

However, Gu Yue still remembered to ask Gu Xu for his opinion: "Do you want to eat this? Let's come over at mealtime to experience it."

Gu Xu looked at him. Gu Yue felt a chill down his spine.

"Forget about eating. I'm just curious about one thing." Gu Xu seemed to be laughing, "Dad actually recognized the words on the plaque."
