Celestial grabs dog food

Chapter 4

Gou Sheng pursed his lips and smiled, then quickened his pace.

Liu Datie waited until the third day at Qiaotou before he was lucky enough to be selected by a cloth store clerk to help move the goods. After working hard for a long time, he was paid seven copper coins and two cornmeal steamed buns.

"Hehe, it's one more copper coin than working at Mr. Yang's house for a day!" Liu Datie cheerfully counted the copper coins over and over again.

In the evening, Liu Datie tore a rare extra half of a steamed bun and shared it between the two.

In the past few days, in order to save money, both of them spend only one copper plate a day, share a thick noodle steamed bun in the morning, and share another one in the evening...

Today, with the share in the account, Liu Datie's face, which had been suffering for a few days, was finally relieved a little.

"Father, let's go to Jiaxing City tomorrow!" Gou Sheng said as he huddled in the tattered cotton wool.

"What!" Liu Datie asked a little confused as he put a few coins into his arms.

"We're going to Jiaxing City tomorrow." Gou Sheng repeated it flatly.

"Uh, dog, dog left, go to Jiaxing City!?" Liu Datie said incoherently as if he had been greatly frightened.

"Hmm! There are too few jobs in the town, father, mother and younger brothers and sisters are still waiting for wages to go back and buy rations!"

"Dog, dog leftover!" Liu Datie looked at his eldest son dumbfounded.

But when Gou Sheng turned over, his breathing quickly calmed down, leaving only Liu Datie tossing and turning in vain...

When the cock crowed the next day, Gousheng sat up and hurriedly pushed Liu Datie next to him, "Father, hurry up, or it will be too late!"

Grandma Sun is old and feels light, she wakes up whenever there is any movement in the woodshed, she opens the window and asks, "What's wrong?"

"Grandma Sun, Dad and I are leaving, thank you for these few days, you can continue to sleep!" Gou Sheng replied standing under the wall of the main house.

Grandma Sun let out a "huh", put on some clothes, and came out holding an oil lamp.

"It's okay, fill up the water for the old woman before leaving!"

Without further ado, Liu Datie took a pole and a bucket and went out.

Among these families in the town, only a few have drilled wells in their small yards, and most of them use buckets to fetch water from the public wells outside. Fortunately, grandma's house is relatively close to the big well.

Liu Datie picked it back and forth four or five times before he filled the big tank.

During this period, grandma's son got up and asked a question. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he went back to his room and fell asleep.

Before leaving, Liu Datie expressed his gratitude again.

Grandma Sun fumbled in the kitchen closet for a long time, "Here, take it, eat it on the way!"

It is a white and fat bun and a steamed bun.

Gou Sheng and Liu Datie swallowed hard together.

"No, no, we still have something to eat!" Liu Datie waved his hands repeatedly.

There is still one and a half of the two cornmeal steamed buns I got yesterday!

Gou Sheng tried his best to take his eyes off the tip of the pleated bun, unable to swallow the saliva secreted from his mouth.

"Pretend what you want, I tell you to take it!" Grandma Sun glanced at Gousheng, put the things in Liu Datie's hands neatly, and walked out of the house with the oil lamp in her hand, "Hurry up, wait for the door to close, don't bother." Delay the old woman from dozing off!"

Liu Datie hurriedly put away the steamed buns and buns, and walked out with the things, not daring to say a word!

Gousheng took Liu Datie and ran straight to the largest inn in the town.

The lights inside were already brightly lit, and shouts could be heard from time to time. Dozens of men were feeding the horses, checking the carriages, and carrying goods.

"Father, look, if anyone needs help, please go up and give it a hand. We will find a way to ask the caravan to give us a ride." Gou Sheng said in a low voice.

"Gog left, dog left, forget it, forget it!".

"Hey, hurry up, Dad, help that man lift the box up!" Gou Sheng couldn't help but push Liu Datie hard.

Liu Datie probably hadn't turned his head around at all, he had already stepped forward quickly, and with all his strength, he pushed the guy up against the box on his shoulder despite his efforts several times.

The foreman was in a hurry, and the guy didn't even look at who was helping, he hurriedly carried the box and walked towards the carriage.

Gou Sheng looked away in satisfaction - Liu Datie is quite reliable in his work!

After a long while, Gou Sheng set his search eyes on a fat man sitting at the door of the inn and yawning.

After taking a few deep breaths, he recalled the words that came to his mind almost automatically a few times—Gou Sheng seemed to know how to deal with those people that Liu Datie avoided since he was a child—holding his The brightest smiling face trotted over.

First it was a compliment, then he pointed out Liu Datie who was working hard to help the guys move the goods to the shopkeeper, and finally he said his intentions.

"...My father is strong and quick at work. If there is still time in the carriage, you can go to any corner..."

Gou Sheng smiled obsequiously, and graciously beat the fat shopkeeper's shoulders.

"You little brat can talk—" the shopkeeper glanced at Liu Datie.

"My father is taking me, don't worry, I promise I won't cause trouble for you!" He turned to the shopkeeper without hesitation, "My family is in Liushutun, my father's family is Liu Datie, and there is a younger brother, two Little sister, you can't fly anywhere with wings!"

The chubby shopkeeper looked back and forth between Liu Datie and Gou Sheng several times, "There is room for two people in this carriage—"

Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, Gou Sheng thanked and gave a thousand thanks.

"Father, father, come here quickly, the elder agrees..." Gou Sheng jumped up and shouted.

Liu Datie carefully put the goods on his shoulders away, then walked over with a shrunken body, knelt on the ground with a "boom", and kowtowed his head with a "boom".

"Wanfu, my lord, Ankang, my lord, we dogs are not sensible..."

"Okay, okay, get up, get up, be careful with your hands and feet, if you ruin my business, you and your family won't be able to pay for it!" The fat shopkeeper stared at the man lying on the ground in front of him, shaking his head with a headache. wave.

Liu Datie got up gratefully, and immediately joined the ranks of the guys carrying the goods.

In about a cup of tea, the convoy was all packed up.

Liu Datie and Gou Sheng nested in one of the carriages, which was mostly loaded with goods, and headed for Jiaxing City.

"Eat, dog leftover!" Liu Datie let go of his shrunken shoulders, touched and touched in his arms, and took out the buns and passed them over.

"Father, you just called me Gouzi!" Gou Sheng leaned on Liu Datie and said wearily.

"It's not a dog's son, if your mother is here, you dare to mess around like this! Discount your dog's leg!" Liu Datie slapped Gousheng's back heavily,

Gousheng just smiled "hehe".

Liu Datie took out the leftover cornmeal steamed buns from yesterday, and gnawed on one under cold water. Hearing the sound of "gurgling" wheels, the hanging heart did not fall back to its original position...

When the dog was left with a little bit of meat in the buns it was eating, it almost shed tears without happiness, and would rather choke than insist on not drinking water, so that the smell of meat would linger in its mouth for a while...

The carriage traveled for a whole day, and only stopped at noon to feed the horses with some water and fodder. The fire was not lit, and the men took turns eating a few mouthfuls of dry food before going on the road again. It was not until dark that the city gate was closed and moved forward. city.
