Chapter 286: Tuogu

"This chicken soup is greasy, the buns are cold, you don't have anything in your stomach, you eat too much, it's naturally easy to regulate, it's not good for me to make you eat so greasy."

Shen Youqiu saw the nervous appearance of the two of them who were afraid of their own blame, and quickly explained, and then called Xiao Er to clean the room.

"That's also the blessing of our brother and sister, who can't even drink a bowl of chicken soup." Goudan lowered his head, looking a little lonely and ashamed, "Sister doesn't need to bring us any chicken soup or anything like that in the future, I can give two bowls of coarse grain porridge, and the two of us are already grateful."

"Don't say that."

Shen Youqiu said, turned back to Xiao Er and said, "Go, ask for two small porridges to nourish the stomach."

"No, it's enough." Dogan hurriedly said.

"Go." Shen Youqiu urged.

"Okay."

Xiao Er answered, and immediately went down.

"You can recuperate in peace here." Shen Youqiu said helplessly to the dog: "This time, although you seem to have saved the county lord, you actually helped me a lot, so you are my great benefactor, and I am not the kind of ungrateful person, so don't think about it, just stay at ease, and when the injury is healed, I will see if I can help you find a livelihood to do, you are young, you have strength, you are smart, you are smart, your hands and feet are sharp, and you can always live well."

As she spoke, she touched the poor girl's head and said softly, "Besides, you can't keep floating like this, you have to work hard, so that your sister can live a good life in the future, and she won't even have enough to eat, you know?"

As the dog listened, his eyes flushed slightly.

"Sister Shen, you are my great benefactor, and I keep every word of you firmly in my heart."

He knelt down sideways, stubbornly kowtowed three times, and said word by word: "Your great kindness, I will never forget."

"Hurry up!"

Shen Youqiu frowned, "I said, it was you who helped me a lot, that person today is my enemy, if it weren't for you, not only would he have caused a monstrous disaster today, but my many days of hard work have been in vain, you don't have to be like this."

"But if it weren't for the extra egg and bowl of porridge you gave my sister, my sister might not have survived that day......

Shen Youqiu was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the innocent girl.

Goudan continued, "I also saw that the man wanted to arrest you Sister Shen at the beginning, so I did it."

Hearing this, Shen Youqiu's heart was shocked, and he saw the dog kowtow again, and he was immediately helpless: "What are you going to do?"

"Sister Shen, I want to ask you to grant me a request."

"What a request, you say."

"Can you, can you-" His voice lowered a little, his eyes fell on the girl on the side, his eyes were infinitely distressed and reluctant, and after a few seconds, he turned his head to look at Shen Youqiu, and there was a trace of determination and firmness on his face.

"Can you help me take care of the girl for a few years, I want to join the army, and when I return from the army, I will be a cow and a horse for the rest of my life, and I will definitely repay your great kindness!"

"What, in the army?"

Shen Youqiu looked at his thin little body, and then at the girl who was still so young, a little reluctant.

"How old are you, if you go to join the army now, can you join the army? What's more, Yadan is just one of your relatives, do you really feel at ease to put her by my side?"

"I heard from the victims from the north that in the past two years, the northland has been turbulent, especially in the border areas, collisions and frictions often occur, and in the wilderness, there are many bandits and bandits, so there is a shortage of soldiers in the north, and don't look at me as thin and weak, in fact, I am sixteen this year, and I have met the requirements for enlistment."

"But you want your sister?"

Goudan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Reluctantly, but you are right, I must give her a better life, if I don't go to the army, I have no other way to change our current situation, you are the only person I can trust now, I beg you, please promise me!"

"Brother, I don't want you to join the army!"

The girl suddenly understood

Come, turned around and rushed forward and hugged his brother, howling and crying.

"Brother, you, don't leave Yadan alone, Yadan wants to be with you, always with you, don't go anywhere, okay......?"

"You're obedient."

Goudan stroked his sister's head distressedly, and comforted softly, "Brother is not going to leave you, brother is going to earn a future for you, do you believe that brother is good, only in this way, we don't have to grab food from others in the future, so that we don't have to be hungry every day, in the future, whatever you want to eat, my brother can buy you anything."

"Woo woo......

The little girl cried so hard that she couldn't speak, but kept shaking her head, "I don't want to, I don't want to be separated from my brother."

"Don't cry! Do you listen to your brother or not, don't you want to listen to your brother?"

"Woo woo, I, I'll listen......

The dog suddenly scolded angrily, and when the little girl stopped crying, he immediately turned his head to look at Shen Youqiu, and said word by word, "I beg Sister Shen to be fulfilled!"

Seeing this, Shen Youqiu hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded, "Okay, I can help you take care of the girl."

"Really!" Dogan had a look of surprise on his face.

"But—"

Shen Youqiu paused, and said a little ruthlessly: "However, don't think about leaving your sister at my house, I have to make it clear first, I will only raise her until she is sixteen years old, if you haven't come back at that time, I will find someone to marry her, and when the time comes, whether she marries a cat or a dog, a person or a ghost, how she will live in the future has nothing to do with me."

"Don't worry."

Dogan said heavily: "Regardless of whether I have a name or not, I will definitely come back before my sister grows up, Sister Shen, why don't we write a note?"

"What is there to thank you for?"

Shen Youqiu smiled, "Horizontal and vertical is to look at your conscience."

"I will not fail the trust you placed in me."

"Okay."

As he was talking, the small porridge was delivered, and Shen Youqiu smiled and said, "Let's do this first, eat the things first, no matter whether you go to join the army or not, in short, you have to take care of your body first, if you can grow taller and stronger, you should be able to stay more comfortable in the army."

"That's what Sister Shen said."

After speaking, the dog picked up the wrinkled bowl and drank it slowly one by one.

When they finished drinking the porridge, Shen Youqiu threw another tael of silver to him, and when he refused, she said that she would return it together after he came back from joining the army, so he didn't say anything.

When he left the inn, it was already a little dark outside, and Feng Yi followed behind Shen Youqiu, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you promise this young man?"
