Ran Xiaole went to the lake early the next morning to fish for fish. He washed his face and brushed his hair with his hands for a long time, trying to make himself look like a dog. It looks dilapidated and poor, but at least it should be considered neither dirty nor smelly and not too annoying.

He knelt down and wiped the face of Goudan beside him, "Dandan, brother is going to sell fish, are you going?"

"Go!" Goudan is a child after all, upon hearing this new news, he threw himself on Ran Xiaole's back happily, kicking his legs happily, "Brother, take me there!"

Ran Xiaole was thrown forward by him, his posture was not very elegant, he sighed, "The clothes are already dirty, and I can't help but wash them, and you made me covered in mud again!" He stood up and dusted off the dirt on his body, Dabbing it casually on the child's face, "Aren't you asking me to take you there? You bastard."

"Second goods?"

"It's two hundred and five."

"Two hundred and five?"

"Uh... that means silly hat."

"Oh." Goudan pouted and said unconvinced: "Then I'm not a bastard, brother is!"

"Isn't it? I'm with you every day, so it's the best." Ran Xiaole took his little hand and shook it, "Let's go, go back and tell grandpa, let's go early."

The child forgot to be stubborn when he heard this, he hummed excitedly, dragged his brother and ran back.Looking at the child in front of her, Ran Xiaole always felt that she had known him before. She racked her brains and thought about it all the way, oh, yes, there used to be a husky in the foreman's house, and this was the virtue of running.

Panting back to the ruined temple, panting and talking to grandpa again, grandpa nodded slightly, looked at the dog's clean smiling face, grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and paste it on without saying a word, the corners of Ran Xiaole's mouth twitched Take it, take it, wash it for nothing.

"Grandpa... what are you doing?"

Grandpa waved his hand and said, "Xiao Le, this doll is born too handsome, like a baby girl, if not, I'm afraid there will be some troubles."

"Handsome?" Ran Xiaole moved his face closer and took a closer look. He had bad eyesight. He used to think that although his younger brother was as thin as a stick, his small face was round and he felt good to the touch and was very cute.Now that I saw it clearly, I realized that there were willow brows and star eyes, white teeth and red lips, even the dirt on her face couldn't hide the exquisite appearance carved in jade.This is a handsome guy at all, oh no, a beauty!

"Eggy, you're so cute." Ran Xiaole couldn't help pinching Goudan's little face, "Kawaii!"

"What?"

"Well... that means you are good-looking. You really deserve to be my younger brother."

Goudan slapped his hand away, "I'm not a girl!"

"Still angry?" Ran Xiaole smiled, rubbed his head, and reached out to him, "I didn't say you were a girl, go, little man, go sell fish with brother."

"Hmph!" Goudan pouted, holding his brother's hand like an adult who doesn't remember the villain's mistakes.

"Master, don't worry, I'll let him keep his head down so that no one else can see." Ran Xiaole winked at the old man and whispered.

"Okay, then go back early."

"Well, goodbye, Grandpa."

Of course Ran Xiaole knew that with his and Goudan's outfits, it was impossible to sell the fish at a decent price. Fortunately, the cost price of this fish was zero, so as long as you don't give it away, you won't lose money no matter how low you sell it.The stalls in the capital were for rent, and he didn't know if there were any urban management people here, but just to be on the safe side, he decided not to go to the city.Because according to Sha Niao's usual routine, the overhead historical background must be an era when the people were ruled by a faint king, so the male protagonists are so miserable.Once caught, Ran Xiaole can't believe that in this simple and rough world, it can be easily solved by handing in things or being detained for a few days.

So he found a corner in the market outside the city gate, and he didn't need too many people to see them, as long as there were some, anyway, there were not many fish in total, and the things he planned to sell at a low price should not be flooded by lucky people.

Ran Xiaole still listened to what grandpa said, he worriedly rubbed a few handfuls of mud on Goudan's face, clapped his hands and said, "Dandan, don't talk for a while, just lie down on brother's back with your head down. The sicker the better, you know?"

The kid probably knew that he was pretty, so he stood there obediently and asked Ran Xiaole to smear mud on his face, "Why?"

"This way the fish is easy to sell."

"You want to lie?"

"What a lie!" Ran Xiaole stared at him, looked around again, and whispered in his ear: "Brother, this is a strategy, do you understand the strategy? Is the fish fresh? We sell the cheapest Is it right? You can't lie to them, how can you lie to them?"

"But I'm not sick."

"I didn't say you were sick. They thought you were sick. It's not our fault. Don't you think so?"

"This..." Goudan frowned and still couldn't figure it out. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell. Ran Xiaole saw his twisted look, touched his head, and said with a smile: " Don't think about it, wait until we sell the fish for money, and buy two white flour steamed buns for the grandfather, okay?"

Hearing that grandpa could eat white flour steamed buns, the little thing was so happy that he immediately forgot all his doubts and nodded vigorously, "Yeah!"

Ran Xiaole sighed helplessly, she was such a fool.

"Little beggar, do you sell this fish?"

Ran Xiaole looked up at the aunt in front of her, "Well, auntie, let's buy a fish."

"Is the fish fresh?"

"It's fresh, I just took it this morning."

"Then why is it so cheap? It only sells for a few pennies."

Ran Xiaole glanced back at her younger brother who was lying behind her, showing a sad look on the verge of tears, "Ma'am, there is a disaster at home, we two brothers depend on each other for our lives, and we are short of money."

"Disaster? Is this your brother? Don't it be a plague?"

"How dare you!" Ran Xiaole said anxiously, "Think about it, ma'am, if there was a plague, I would still be able to live well? Besides, no matter how courageous I am, I would not dare to come to the capital to set up shop, don't you think so? My younger brother is on his way Tired, half-grown kid, starving, but we want to exchange this fish for money, and we are reluctant to eat it..."

"Oh, stop talking, it's poor, just take one."

"Hey!" Ran Xiaole wiped away her tears and said gratefully, "Thank you auntie!"

"I'll give you some more, don't look for it anymore."

Ran Xiaole quickly refused, "That's impossible, as much as you want, how can we take more money from you?"

"Take it." The aunt stuffed the two copper coins into his hand, and patted the back of his hand, "Good boy, sorry to see you."

"Then, thank you, ma'am!" Tears flowed out uncontrollably like a faucet.

"You're welcome, buy something delicious for yourself and your brother."

The aunt sighed, took the fish and left.

"Pfft..."

Ran Xiaole sniffed, and put back her tears, "Are you kidding me?"

"No..." Goudan hooked his little hand, and rubbed his arms around Ran Xiaole's neck, "And said you don't lie."

"I said I won't let you lie, but I didn't say I wouldn't. Eggy, let me tell you, there's nothing you can do about it, you're not allowed to learn, you know?"

"Oh, I can't learn it either, you act like the real thing. Brother, are you an opera singer?"

"Go!" Ran Xiaole handed back the copper plate, "Here, take it."

"I take?"

"That's right, why don't you come out with me and do some work?"

"Hey..." Goudan accepted it cheerfully, and put the copper coin into his arms like a baby, "Don't worry bro!"

"Well, I'm relieved."

Goudan suddenly kissed Ran Xiaole on the back of his neck, "Brother, you are so kind!"

"Go aside..." Ran Xiaole couldn't hide her smile, and pulled his arm forward, "You can stay here, don't fall."

"Ok!"

This bitter trick is really tried and tested, the high position is ruthless, and the low position is self-deprecating. Only the sympathy of the little people is the best way to make money. It didn't take long for all the fish to be sold.Ran Xiaole is not ashamed at all, he didn't harm anyone, and he sold it so cheaply, his eyes are almost crying, so why can't he feel at ease?

Anyway, he was never an honest person.

Ran Xiaole used the money he earned to buy some white flour buns, gritted his teeth and bought a candied haws for Goudan, and packed up and went home before the sun was too high.

"elder brother."

"Ok?"

Goudan held up the untouched candied haws, "Here."

Ran Xiaole swallowed his saliva. He was craving candied haws when he was a child, but his family never had any spare money to buy them for him. It wasn't until he made money himself that he ate the first bite of candied haws. .

"I will not eat."

"What?"

"I... have a toothache from eating this stuff, it's so sour."

Goudan stuck out his tongue and licked it carefully, "It's not sour, it's sweet, here it is."

"I feel sour." Ran Xiaole pushed the candied haws back again, "Hurry up, eat it, it's hot, the candy outside will melt in a while."

"Oh." Goudan licked it again and pursed his lips, as if he was savoring the sweet aftertaste, but he refused to eat any more, dragged Ran Xiaole and ran, "Then let's go, take it back Give it to grandpa."

"Oh... this little thing... really hurts..."

But my physical strength is not good, you run slowly, hey!

The candied haws were all given to grandpa in the end, and Goudan and Ran Xiaole lied to the old man that they had eaten them, and were scolded by the old man for spending money indiscriminately.

"Master, it's okay, we can make money."

"That's a little less."

"I know, I know." Ran Xiaole smiled apologetically while rubbing the old man's legs, "Master, does your leg hurt?"

The old man touched his head and smiled gratifiedly, "It doesn't hurt. Xiao Le, you are much better than my bastard son."

Ran Xiaole didn't raise her head, "You are also much better than my parents."

"Don't blame them, who doesn't have a problem?"

"No wonder." Ran Xiaole sighed, "It's kindness to raise me up."

"It's good that you understand this."

"Well, that's what Grandpa said."

"Xiao Le. Fishing like this... What can you do when the lake freezes in winter?"

"Don't worry, don't think too much about it." Ran Xiaole comforted, "In winter, this job will definitely not be able to be done, but we should have some money at that time, and we can buy some flour stoves and sell sesame seed cakes. Let's take a step It's one step, don't you think so?"

"That's right, it's still up to you." Grandpa was silent for a while, glanced at Goudan who was sleeping soundly beside him, and hesitated to speak.

"Grandpa, what do you want to tell me?"

"Xiao Le, are you literate?"

"Well... forget it."

The old man smiled, "Wait until I leave..."

"Master, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Don't be angry." The old man patted the back of his hand, "Who hasn't died? I know what my body is like. I have been supporting my baby for so many years, but after all, at this age, no Maybe accompany him for the rest of his life! Now that I meet you, I feel at ease. Xiao Le, I can see that you really treat this child like a younger brother, if I leave..."

"You will not go."

The old man shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If I leave, Goudan will be entrusted to you, and you can give him a name, just like your surname... You don't need him to be famous, and when he has a good life, let him study , I just ask him to be an upright and upright person... I beg you..."

The old man was about to kneel down after he finished speaking, but Ran Xiaole quickly pulled him up and knelt down, tears streaming down his face, "Master, what are you talking about? You are sure to live a long life, didn't we all agree?" !"

"I...cough cough cough...don't...cough cough...don't tell...cough cough cough..."

Grandpa didn't say any more, but Ran Xiaole understood everything in an instant.

Blood.Grandpa's hands were full of blood.

The oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry, I am afraid that it will not survive the dying years.
