I bent the devil

Before dawn, the caravan was already preparing to leave. The first thing to serve was not the merchants of the caravan, but the horses.

Feed the fodder and drink the water, and some even brushed their manes with their hands while whispering something to the horses, and finally patted the horses' necks as if to cheer them up.Bring the load up and tie it down and make sure it's secure while they snort.

Gu Jiu had already stood by the side holding Tsing Yi, and after making sure that he was busy enough to do it for a while, he went up to the businessman who handed him water and potatoes yesterday, hoping that he could give him a job, no wages, just food Yes, just reach the next town.

After Gu Jiu finished speaking, the merchant casually shifted his attention from the caravan to Gu Jiu's face.After seeing Gu Jiu's handsome face, he paused slightly, his eyes swept over his hair, neck and figure one by one.

This kind of eyes like being picked like an animal made Gu Jiu couldn't help but want to turn his face, but now he is wearing Tsing Yi and doesn't know what the way ahead is, there is no food, and he doesn't have any survival skills, let alone persist for a few days , if the caravan is allowed to leave like this, it is possible that he and Tsing Yi will not survive tonight.

He could only endure it, with a smile that was about to solidify in his closed eyes, and half hid the Tsing Yi behind his back.

"Okay." The businessman nodded dispensably, waved to someone who seemed to be in charge, and after a few instructions, let him take Gu Jiu and Tsing Yi down.

Guan nodded and bowed before leaving, but when he turned to the back of the caravan, he already had a cold and arrogant expression. He squinted at Gu Jiu, and then looked at the Tsing Yi who had only been pulling Gu Jiu's trouser legs all the time. Spit at Gu Jiu's feet, triangular eyes, paired with a sparse goatee under the upper and lower lips, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a good thing.

But now Gu Jiu has no other choice, the businessman throws himself to the person in front of him, which means that he is under the control of the goatee in front of him from now on.

"Boss, I don't know what we are going to do?"

Chen Er, who was called 'big' in charge, looked much better. Gu Jiu didn't know that he had scratched Chen Er's itchy flesh.Although he is in charge, what he does is the most lucrative job, and he also has the least face and confidence among the managers. He is always used to nodding and bowing his knees.

Gu Jiu has also practiced in the workplace for a few years, and with the child without parents, he is always more sensitive than his peers in terms of facial expressions.

Seeing that Chen Er's face softened, he knew that he had gotten on his point, and he laughed and called the chief manager a few more times.Chen Er also waved his hands vigorously, looked at the two of them very contemptuously, and decided to let them go to the back of the cavalry, and pick up horse manure with a few other servants dressed up.

The people in the caravan who were better dressed were the businessman and a few stewards. As for the people who were dressed in black at the side, it seemed that they were not from the same family as them, but were escorts hired by the businessman.In the past, Gu Jiu would have hoped that those who were powerful and dressed like Jianghu people could use two moves to see, but now, instead, he hoped to stay as far away from them as possible.

The man in charge of picking up horse manure plus Gu Jiu's words, there are six in total, Tsing Yi is not counted, he is now a three-headed little bean, and he can't even count half of them.Lao Ding was the oldest among them, and the others also vaguely followed his lead. After Gu Jiu saw clearly what he was doing, he followed the principle of newcomers in the workplace, saying less, doing more and not interrupting. all at once.

In fact, everyone is used to this, so do you still need Gu Jiu's help?It's just that it's rare for a newcomer to be smart and easy-going. Gu Jiu wasn't ugly at first, but he belonged to the type with enough affinity, so it only took a long time to get along with each other.

The sun began to rise, Lao Ding looked at the sun, and then saw that there was almost enough food for tonight on the bus, so he asked everyone to rest for a while and eat something later. While everyone was resting, they had to Look around for dead branches or something, and try to prepare as much firewood as possible for the night.

As soon as Gu Jiu heard about the rest, he dragged his legs as if he had been amnestied, walked quickly two steps, followed everyone behind and jumped on the cart, and then sat down, Tsing Yi came over, cute He handed over the hose that the businessman had given to Gu Jiu last night.

"Xiao Jiu, this is your son? He's very cute." Lao Ding wiped his sweat, fanning the wind with his open clothes while looking at Gu Jiu with a smile.

... son or something.

Gu Jiu looked at Tsing Yi, who was staring at him eagerly, and once again felt silent for 2 minutes about the ancient times of "marriage at the age of thirteen or fourteen".Then he handed over the water belt and smiled, "He is a child of my neighbor's family. We were the only ones left when the family suffered a famine. I heard that he had relatives in the city before, so I wanted to send him. into benevolence and righteousness."

"Looking at your young age, you are quite loyal." The big man sitting next to Lao Ding squinted at Gu Jiu. There was a scar above his left eye. He usually looked hideous. Now he smiled at Gu Jiu and Tsing Yi with Looks like a big bad guy.But when he saw that Tsing Yi still didn't speak and just stood next to Gu Jiu, quietly looking at himself, he couldn't help being stunned and laughed. "This brat looks small, but he's quite courageous."

Everyone knew what the big man meant, and they all laughed along. , Gu Jiu protected Tsing Yi with one hand, preventing him from falling off the scooter too steeply, and laughed along the way.

Although the road ahead is still long, it is not as difficult and confusing as before.

Sure enough, people are social animals no matter what time they are.

Thinking about it for a while, Gu saw that the little Tsing Yi's face still didn't have any superfluous expressions, but it was much better than yesterday, at least in his eyes, he finally had a childish expression.
