Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Ghost-Eyed Grey Cat
This time, it was much faster to stop the car, and as soon as the two went out, they got on a speeding sand camel.
The swift sand camel is a little thinner than the sand camel, but it looks like it is full of tendons and tendons, and it doesn't seem to have a piece of excess fat. In terms of speed, the sand camel is also much faster.
In order to catch up with You Shi in time, the two discussed with the driver and paid the price of the return trip.
It's just that the price of this car is not cheap, a total of two gold and twenty silver, and you have to pay first before getting on the car.
Among them, two gold is the basic car price, and more than 20 silver is the premium money.
There were twenty taels of premium money, one because the car was pulled by a high-level alien beast, and the other was because the hitchhiker had a time requirement - and neither of them had much time to bargain.
"This money ......" Gu Huai said with a shameful face when he watched Tai Lai pay, and then was interrupted by Tai Lai halfway:
"It's okay, you haven't paid a word for that month. And it's not your own. ”
Hearing this, Gu Huai's heart was also warm.
It's really impossible, he's only been working for a few days this month, and he's still far from getting the money. Moreover, before half of the month came, half of the money had been fined, and it was embarrassing.
It is precisely because of this dilemma that Gu Huai is whipped like a whip.
In the days to come, it is important to find relatives, but making money is a top priority. If nothing else, You still has a goal of the Silver Seal, when will it be achieved?
When they arrived at Liushifang, the shopkeeper Wang saw that Gu Huai and they had changed cars again, and joked with a smile:
"Two, I know that you You are rich, so you won't show off all kinds of car dealerships, right?"
"Haha, yes. How can you talk to the shopkeeper Wang without any foundation?"
Shopkeeper Wang laughed even harder, and directly brought Gu Huai into the room.
"Shopkeeper," Gu Huai still followed the shopkeeper Wang, walking in the long corridor, and asked, "How long is the shelf life of Liusi Bean?"
"In this desert weather, about four or five hours. The king's treasurer said, "If it is in a shady place such as a cave, it may take about eight hours." ”
"No wonder it's either us who pick it up or you deliver it. Gu Huai said.
"Yes," said the shopkeeper Wang, "that's why we usually only sell to the sellers and not to the individual sellers." ”
"The boss should be familiar with you, otherwise you wouldn't have given him so many beans. Gu Huai asked.
He remembered that the shopkeeper Wang said that he had been helping You Qiu deliver beans before, and then let Gu Huai go.
"That's right. Shopkeeper Wang nodded, "Frankly speaking, it's also because our beans are not cheap, and we can make up some income if we have a small amount." ”
Gu Huai weighed the money bag in his hand, every time he came over with dozens of taels of gold, he only bought a few beans.
"And," shopkeeper Wang said again, "I delivered the goods before, but now you deliver them, and the price is the same, and the shopkeeper You really treats me well." ”
"However......" Gu Huai was a little puzzled, "The beans you use for trade, with a shelf life of just a few hours, how do you ......" He had wanted to ask this question for a long time, since he was fined ten taels of silver.
The shopkeeper Wang glanced at Gu Huai, smiled mysteriously, and said:
"Little brother, it's not time to tell you. You'll find out when your store has a golden seal. ”
Shopkeeper Wang can talk about other things, but when he talks about this, he really sells Guanzi, thinking that there is something that cannot be said, or it is useless to say it.
Gu Huai guessed that no matter how much material was needed for this preservation method, it should be controlled by the city government building. In this case, there is only self-reliance. Otherwise, you can't be fined ten taels of silver every time you are late.
Fortunately, the drunken coachman had already given him some hints, and when the time came, he just had to do something according to the map.
After getting the beans, Gu Huai and the two didn't delay for a moment, and ran to Qinghong Courtyard non-stop.
I didn't go for anything else, I just went to apologize, saying that the baby Sha was still in You's and didn't come out.
"When the time comes, how should I say this?" Gu Huai asked Tailai.
He was a little nervous, and wanted to get all the words ready with Tailai, after all, it was because of himself from the beginning.
If he hadn't been nosy at the time, he wouldn't have messed with Nasha five or six.
Tai Lai glanced at Gu Huai strangely and said:
"Just say give it to her later, is it difficult to ask the truth? ”
Although Tai Lai's words were not targeted, when he heard that this family was ugly, Gu Huai was even more ashamed.
I was nosy and found a trouble, and as a result, I had to affect others.
Moreover, he was looking for trouble because of a woman.
Tai Lai caught a glimpse of Gu Huai's embarrassed face, Xu felt that he spoke straighter, and said softly:
"Wait a minute, I'll talk to Yan Niang, you don't have to worry about it. ”
Then he asked Gu Huai with a hint of playfulness on his face:
"However, the next time you encounter something like this, will you still help that girl out?"
Gu Huai was stunned for a moment, this question could ask him down. He thought about it for a moment and replied "I don't know", which made Tai Lai laugh.
He really can't lie about this matter, because the little autumn leaves are really beautiful.
Because there was no bad sandstorm, this time the Qinghongyuan completely faded from yesterday's depression.
As soon as the two entered the store, they didn't see Yan Niang, but they were immersed in the staggering.
Looking up, the upper and lower fifth floors are full of red dust men and women, laughter, drunkenness, frolicking and slapstick, sprinkled all over the Qinghong Courtyard.
went around a few times and climbed a few floors, but I didn't find Yan Niang.
"Let's go to Xiao Qiuye's side to have a look?" Gu Huai asked unconsciously, and then he felt blushing.
Tai Lai didn't say much, he was in a hurry, three steps and two steps and two steps.
Before they arrived at Xiao Qiuye's room, the two of them only heard someone in the room talking, and out of politeness and curiosity, they immediately stopped.
Yan Niang's voice seemed to be a little annoyed:
"It's just that you don't want to show your face to the guests outside, it's really hard for you to call me!"
No one answered, only the sobs of the woman.
Yan Niang was even more annoyed, and her voice also raised several points:
"You look like this, I raised you for nothing!?"
Gu Huai was also distressed when he listened outside the door, and he felt sorry for the situation of this little autumn leaf.
It was still crying inside, but Akiba still didn't speak.
However, Yan Niang seemed to be calming down, and suddenly asked in a closed voice:
"Do you have someone you like out there?"
Gu Huai's heart tightened when he said this, and the pictures of Xiao Qiuye sending colorful spinning tops were still vivid.
To be honest, he had some hope that the little autumn leaves in the room would put it bluntly. But he thought about it again, what if he said it? He was now just a young man with no money and no status in Shakun City.
At this moment, he still imagined that if he was still the valley boy in the imperial city back then, wouldn't Xiao Qiuye be at his fingertips?
Thinking of this, he wants to develop himself even more, and he also wants to find his father.
"I didn't!" Xiao Qiuye replied loudly inside, to the surprise of Gu Huai and Tailai. This should also be unexpected by Yan, because she had not spoken before.
may have felt that his reaction was too fierce at this time, and Xiao Qiuye muttered again:
"Yan Niang, I don't. ”
"Hmph!" Yan Niang said, "You can't hide it from me." ”
"Hey......" Yan Niang sighed, "Whoever called me watched you grow up and always treated you as a daughter." But you have to think for yourself, you are often like this, and I can't do this business, and when the time comes, you and I, mother and daughter, will drink the northwest wind together. ”
"Yan Niang-" Xu was moved when he heard the old bustard's words, and Xiao Qiuye shouted after listening to the mother and daughter, crying even louder.
Gu Huai was just sad, and he loved Xiao Qiuye more and more.
A woman was somehow taken to a place like Qinghongyuan, but at the same time she met an old woman who cared for her, and a man she liked......
"Okay, good daughter, don't cry," Yan Niang said after a while, her voice soft, "Yan is going out to run errands, you can rest first, I will block any guests in the past two days." ”
After speaking, she stepped out of the room, causing Gu Huai and the two to quickly turn around and walk away, for fear of being seen eavesdropping outside.
was stopped by Yan Niang, and the two turned around:
"Ah, Yan Niang, you are here, we have been looking for a long time. Taylor said sleekly.
"Hey," Yan Niang sighed, paused for a moment and said, "You're coming to me again?"
Gu Huai tilted his head and looked at her, thinking that she probably didn't remember that her sand baby was borrowed.
Tai Lai was just about to speak, but Yan Niang spoke again:
"Oh, you guys aren't interesting enough!"
Gu Huai chuckled in her heart, could it be that she already knew that she had lost her car?
Yan Niang said again, shocking Gu Huai and Tailai:
"Even returning a car is sneaky!"
"The car, the car has been returned?" Gu Huai stammered.
"Ahh ”
"This!" Tai Lai's eyes widened, and his mood must be the same as Gu Huai's, surprised and happy, "But...... Maybe it was sent by someone else from the You family, and then sent it and left!"
The more Gu Huai thought about it, the more he didn't understand who sent the car, and said that it was early in the morning. And if that's the case, according to the distance between You Shi and Qinghong Courtyard, Sha Baobao should have set off from You Shi before the sun rose.
If it's really You's people who came over, including black boys or something, they don't have to be so draped in stars and moons!
After saying this, the two of them also breathed a sigh of relief, and walked back after saying goodbye to Yan Niang.
This time, I finally came back early, but I didn't see any guests waiting for the beans.
Gu Huai's heart sank, could it be that it was too late to go back, but now it was much earlier than the time that Boss You said before.
As soon as he got out of the car and came to the warehouse, he saw Sha Er commanding a few people to pack up their things and prepare to close.
"Director Sha, who are you?" asked Gu Huai.
"Come and get a hand, and block all the places where you see the light with wooden sticks or something!" the young director shouted.
"Oh...... Good, good. Gu Huai had to move, and he didn't know why.
"You're new here, right?" A young man next to him saw Gu Huai's blank face and said, "I have to catch the cat tonight!"
"What cat?" Gu Huai asked.
"Ghost-eyed civet!"
