"Do you recognize me?" Su Shi asked with a smile and a gentle tone.

The boy hesitated, but finally nodded.

"My name is Su Shi. Sue of awakening, the time of time. Su Shi introduced himself again.

The boy didn't seem to be used to Su Shi's gentle attitude, and couldn't help but take a step back.

The other children also noticed Su Shi, the two children leaning against the corner had already stood up, and the toddler who was still playing was also hiding behind them at this time.

"Can you tell me your names?" Su Shi continued.

Su Shi didn't care about the children's vigilance and resistance.

"Why do you want to tell you our names?" The boy did not appreciate Su Shi's kindness.

Su Shi was not discouraged, and said with a smile: "Because I think we can be friends, should friends know each other's names." ”

"We are not worthy to be friends with Childe." The boy replied coldly.

"Why don't you deserve it?" Su Shi exclaimed: "Just because you have been standing in front of them and trying to protect them, we can become friends." ”

Hearing this, the boy's thin and weak body straightened up, and his eyes also glowed with pride.

He hesitated for a long time, but finally said, "My name is Dogan." ”

Then he pointed to the girl and said, "Her name is Erya." Standing behind her were Huzi and Xiao Niu, the two youngest, one named Little Snot and the other Little Sloppy. ”

Su Shi smiled, and then deliberately said, "Do you know what my nickname is?" ”

"What's it called?" At this time, a small head poked out from behind Huzi and asked curiously.

"Are you a little snot or a little sloppy?"

"I'm a little snot."

Su Shi asked again, "Why do they call you Little Snot?" ”

"Because I have a runny nose a lot."

Speaking of this, Little Snot couldn't help but rub his nose with his hand and asked again, "What's your nickname?" ”

"Bugs."

"Why do they call you a worm?" At this time, the little sloppy couldn't help but poke his head out and asked.

Su Shi smiled: "Because when I was young, I liked to lie on the ground and twist around, like an insect." ”

The little sloppy jumped out from behind the calf, then twisted his body, and said happily: "Is it twisted like this?" I would also like. ”

Su Shi laughed.

His laughter seemed to be contagious, and a smile appeared on every child's face, even the dog.

After laughing, the children were no longer wary of Su Shi, and Little Snot and Little Sloppy ran in front of Su Shi and looked at him curiously.

Su Shi squatted down, pinched the little snotty face with one hand, touched the little sloppy head with the other, and asked softly, "What about your parents?" ”

"Dead." Little Snot and Little Sloppy replied in unison.

Su Shi looked up at Goudan, there was no expression on Goudan's face, and said calmly: "We are all orphans. ”

Su Shi asked slowly, "How did your father die?" ”

"Killed in battle."

"Both?"

Dogan nodded.

Su Shi suddenly looked at the dog, and then asked word by word: "Are they all border soldiers?" ”

The border army is the army that guards the frontier, although Su Shi already has the answer in his heart, he still wants to confirm his conjecture from the dog's mouth.

Dogan nodded again.

"Where's the hostess? What is the relationship between the hostess and you? ”

When it comes to the hostess, all the children have a warm smile on their faces.

"If it weren't for Bao Ma, maybe we would have starved to death." Dogan said silently.

"Why do you call the boss lady Bao Ma?"

Goudan said coldly: "Because only the proprietress gave us food, she is our mother." ”

"Why would she take care of you?"

"Because she's a good person."

In the dogs' hearts, the principle of distinguishing between good people and bad people is very simple, whoever gives them food is a good person.

Su Shi nodded and agreed with Goudan's words.

"The proprietress is indeed a good person, so if your mother is in trouble, you will definitely not stand idly by, will you?"

"Mommy in trouble?"

Not only did the dog's face change, but except for the two young children, the rest of the people gathered around.

Su Shi thought for a moment and said, "Not yet, but she will be in huge trouble in two days." ”

"What's the trouble?" Dogan clenched his fists.

"She's going to get busy." Su Shi smiled: "And she can't be busy at all." If she is too busy, she will offend the guest, if she offends the guest, the guest will not come to the door again, and if the guest does not come to the door, the business in the drunken country will deteriorate. That's the trouble your mom will encounter. ”

Dogan looked at Su Shi blankly, because what Su Shi said seemed like a fantasy to him.

Business in a drunken country has always been uneventful, and even when they are busiest, their mothers can still find time to beat them.

Now Su Shi actually said that the business of getting drunk in another country would keep Bao Ma busy, how could they believe it.

"You don't believe me?"

Although Goudan didn't believe it, he still looked at Su Shi hopefully: "Will the business in a drunken country really become very good?" ”

Su Shi nodded affirmatively, then looked at the dog, and said slowly: "And she needs your help very much." ”

Goudan hesitated and asked, "How can we help?" ”

"You can help a lot, you can wash the dishes, serve the food, clean the table, clean, serve the guests, ......"

"There are so many things, you said that your mother is not busy alone."

"I can help my mother wash the dishes." At this time, Erya said.

"I can serve food for my mother."

"I can help my mother clean up the table and clean up."

……

Everyone is rushing to say what they can do, even the little snot and the little sloppy.

Su Shi smiled and said, "You are all very capable, but now you still need to do one thing." ”

"What's the matter?" Dogan asked.

"It's to take a good bath in the bathhouse, change into clean clothes, and then report to Bao Ma. For from this evening onwards you will begin to learn to do these things. ”

When they heard that they were going to take a bath and change into new clothes, everyone lowered their heads, because there was not a single copper in their ragged clothes.

Su Shi looked at the dog at this time and smiled and said, "Are we friends?" ”

"Yes."

"If friends are in trouble, should they help each other?"

Dogan said, "Yes." ”

"Are you having trouble now?"

The dog bit his lip tightly, and then seemed to have made up his mind, and suddenly said loudly, "Yes." ”

"Since we are friends and you are in trouble now, I should naturally help you."

Su Shi took out three taels of silver from his sleeve and put it in the dog's hand, and continued: "This money is enough for you to buy six sets of clean clothes, and then take a comfortable bath in the bathhouse." ”

The dog looked at the silver in his hand blankly, and then held the three taels of silver tightly in his hand, as if these three taels of silver were their last hope.
