For Zhu Wu, today is a new beginning.

People must work, there is hope only when there is work, and only when there is hope can there be hope.

I changed into the clothes I washed yesterday, tied my hair with a wooden root, and washed my face and rinsed my mouth. The living habits of modern people, no matter how good or bad they are, cleanliness comes first.

Not only that, but Zhu Wu also forced the Guo brothers to change their clothes and freshen up.

pinched the little girl Xiu'er's face, and said with a smile, "Xiu'er, the fifth brother has gone out to work, you stay at home with Sister Lian'er!" Wait for my brother to come back and buy you buns to eat! ”

"Wuguo, you come back early, I miss you!" The girl is reluctant.

……

Yuelai Inn, in the west of the city.

It is a tall house, with a front yard and a restaurant, and a guest room in the back, as well as a warehouse and a place to raise livestock. It's not a big deal, it's just ordinary businessmen.

The shopkeeper is also surnamed Guo, in his thirties, a rugged man, and he is shrewd in his eyebrows. I made a pot of strong tea early in the morning and sat lazily behind the counter.

"Shopkeeper Guo, we're here!" Guo Xing and Zhu Wu entered the inn and hurriedly greeted each other.

Shopkeeper Guo raised his eyelids and said with a smile, "Yo, I still look a little human today!" Saying that, sweeping Zhu Wu, "Who is he?" ”

"My cousin!" Guo Xing continued to laugh, "My brother is injured and can't work, so I brought him here!" ”

Zhu Wu also bowed and said with a smile, "Little Zhu Wu pays a visit to the shopkeeper Guo, and wishes you a prosperous business and a wide range of financial resources." ”

Shopkeeper Guo immediately smiled, "Eh, you are a good guy and can speak!" As he spoke, he shouted at the fellow, "Get them two pancakes!" ”

The man was instructed, and Malier brought out two pancakes from the back kitchen, which were oily and fragrant. Guo Xing grinned, and half of it was gone. Zhu Wu wrapped it up and put it in his arms.

"A piece of bread is also worth your Baba's hiding!" Shopkeeper Guo drank tea and said with a smile, "Do a good job, maybe you Guo Ye and I will be happy and reward you with a big elbow!" ”

"Don't worry, you will definitely be satisfied!" Zhu Wu smiled humbly, like a silly boy.

Shopkeeper Guo nodded with a smile, and shouted at the back room, "Heizi, have you finished eating, you have finished eating!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a black iron tower came out of the back room, Zhu Wuyi looked at it, good guy. What kind of person is this, it's a big bear. The face is full of meat, and the eyebrows are crossed.

It's too rare to see fat people in these days, and the person in front of me is not only fat, but also looks unruly and angry that ordinary people don't have.

"Follow me!" Kuroko finished speaking in a rough voice and walked out with his hands behind his back.

Zhu Wu and Guo Ying followed him, and they had to smile with Guo's shopkeeper before going out. A wheelbarrow for pulling things was already prepared at the door, and the two of them pushed the cart and followed Kuroko.

"Don't get too close, pretend you don't know!" After walking a few steps, Kuroko turned back and commanded, his eyes a little domineering.

How do you act like a thief? Zhu Wu whispered in his heart, and whispered to Guo Xing, "Didn't you say work?" Where is this? What do you do? ”

Guo Xing stuffed the last piece of pancake into his mouth, "Go out of the city to work!" Go out of the city and bring the grain and firewood collected from the countryside into the city! ”

Zhu Wu became more and more puzzled, there was no need to find someone to do this work. Simply let the delivery person send it to the city, and it won't be over.

Could it be that you are afraid to go into the city to pay taxes? The taxes of the Great Yuan Dynasty were as many as cattle hairs, and the tax collectors at the gates of Haozhou City were more majestic than those who were soldiers. As long as it is a car that pulls goods, it will be inspected and taxed, and a single wheelbarrow is not used.

But even so, there is no need to find outsiders, there are so many guys in the inn, just a few are enough.

The more Zhu Wu thought about it, the more he wondered, this thing was strange.

Kuroko also seems to be a character, and when he passed by the city gate, he smiled and played with the soldiers who guarded the gate, and it seemed that they were all old acquaintances.

After leaving the city, he walked more and more deviated, and after more than ten miles, he stopped at the edge of a forest.

Kuroko turned around and said coldly, "Run two steps!" ”

"It's coming!"

Zhu Wu and Guo Xingsa ran towards him, and at this time, Zhu Wu saw a carriage coming out of the woods, followed by three or five men dressed as peasants.

But these people are definitely not honest peasants, they all have big shoulders and round waists, and their toughness can't be concealed at all.

"Kuroko, why did you come?" A bearded man in the carriage scolded with a smile, "Wait until the daylilies are cold!" ”

Kuroko smiled, "Second brother, can my two legs and your four legs be the same?" ”

"Stop talking nonsense, get to work!" The second brother and the man shouted, and several men carried down a stack of dry firewood from the carriage.

They don't need Zhu Wu to do it, they directly put it on the car, and then tie it with a rope.

"Alright, you two push into the city, and I'll follow behind." Kuroko squinted and repaired, "What do you say when the soldiers enter the city stop you?" ”

Guo Xing replied with a smile, "I know, so I said that it was my own family." ”

Kuroko nodded in satisfaction and waved his big hand, "Go ahead." Push slowly, steadily, don't sprinkle it all the time! ”

Zhu Wu became more and more confused, and he and Guo Xing were like puppets during the whole process, doing whatever people said. Follow Kuroko out early in the morning. Just for these two carts of dry firewood. From Kuroko to the man in the carriage. How do you look at this, how evil. It's not allowed to say that it's from the inn, and the sunspot doesn't look like a leader, but more like an escort.

Thinking about it, Zhu Wu's eyes fell on these firewoods. An idea popped into my head, entrainment?

In his previous life, he served as a soldier for two years, an armed police officer at the customs, and had seen all kinds of smuggling and contraband.

But what is there to entrain, still in a pile of firewood! In case there is entrainment, it will be found out by the soldiers at the city gate, and it will be a bit mysterious.

The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, and the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to take these piles of firewood apart.

"Fifth brother! What do you think, sad face! Guo Xing pushed the wheelbarrow and smiled beside Zhu Wu.

"Nothing!" Zhu Wu smiled, "Third child, did you send firewood yesterday?" ”

"Yes!" Guo Xing smiled, "It's okay, it's not hard at all, the copper coin will be in hand!" ”

"Don't you check the soldiers in the city gate tower?" Zhu Wu asked again.

Guo Xing smiled, "They didn't bother to check!" Besides, I've been asking for food at the West Gate since I was a child, and the people who defend the city know me, and they know that I'm a flower with no oil and water, what are you looking for? ”

Zhu Wu thought about it and didn't speak. According to his analysis, the entrainment did not run away, and perhaps the defenders of the city gate had already bought it out, and they did not check it at all.

Sure enough, when Zhu Wu and Guo Xing pushed the cart into the city, the defenders at the city gate didn't see it, and they didn't sweep their eyes.

The two young men, pushing the cart for more than ten miles, were also tired and out of breath. When they arrived at the inn, two men came over to take over the wheelbarrow, and they were in front of the shopkeeper, smiling and waiting for wages.

"Hands and feet are quick enough!" The shopkeeper Guo was roasting the fire, and handed it over with a smile, "Take it, come over tomorrow!" ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper Guo!" Zhu Wu and Guo Xing thanked each other.

Zhu Wu counted, I'm afraid there are more than a dozen, and this shopkeeper is generous.

At this point, Kuroko didn't know where it came from.

said to the shopkeeper Guo, "Young master, Zhang Laohei will be on duty tomorrow afternoon!" ”

Shopkeeper Guo changed his words, "You little brothers will come tomorrow at noon!" ”

The copper coin of Huang Chengcheng is beautiful.

"Fifth brother, what's the point?" Out of the inn, Guo Xing scratched his head and asked.

Zhu Wu thought about it and said with a smile, "Let's divide each of them into three, and the rest is to buy food, and there are three mouths at home!" ”

"Medium, just listen to you!" Guo Xing held the copper coin and said with a smile, "It's good to have this job every day, and we can also eat dumplings during the New Year!" ”

During the Chinese New Year, Zhu Wu suddenly fell into contemplation, and it was almost the New Year. Soon, he was sad again, he had taken root in this generation. His home will never go back.

"Fifth brother, let's go!" Guo Xing pulled Zhu Wu, "Buy grain!" ”

………

The people take food as the sky, as long as people give money, Zhu Wu doesn't want to do so much.

In the next few days, they either pulled firewood or pulled grain and vegetables. Every day is auspicious to say, and the shopkeeper is full of smiling faces. The shopkeeper's happiness is generous.

After a few days of drying, the little brothers' pockets bulged. The family finally had surplus food, and Guo Xing gritted his teeth and weighed the pig's head meat once.

The thatched house is also becoming more and more homely, and Zhu Wu took the Guo family brothers and sisters to tinker inside and out. There is a straw curtain on the kang, after all, there is a difference between men and women, they are all big girls and young men, so they have to give Lian'er some private space.

On this day, I just finished my work. Zhu Wu was on the edge of the market and saw a stall writing letters. It's almost the Chinese New Year, and those who can't go back to their hometowns for reunion, no matter how poor they are, must bring a letter back.

Zhu Wu suddenly thought that he hadn't sent a letter to Brother Chong these days. Relationship, frequent communication and more talk are related.

Zhu Wu decided that he would do his work tomorrow and go to Huangjue Temple. He can't forget the heavy starling, and he can't let the heavy starling forget him.
