  Chapter 3 Twenty-Six Essays

  The sun is slanting to the west, and a few rays of dim light are cast, and the evening breeze blows away the heat.

   Several butcher shops not far from the wharf in the outer city have closed their stalls, and only Gao Butcher's stall is still there. But there is no whole meat on the case, it is all leftover meat and some leftovers picked by others.

  Butcher Gao was bored, holding a shiny fly stick, and waved it from time to time to drive away greedy flies.

  Seeing the sound of footsteps, Butcher Gao lazily raised his eyelids and looked around.

  Looking at this, his eyes are bright.

   "Boy of the Huo family, come here, I'll keep it for you! I'll close the stall later!" Gao Butcher stood up and waved, his chubby face squeezed into a smile.

   "Hello, Uncle Gao", Huo Xi and Yang Fu ran over while saying hello.

   "Uncle Gao, can you save the trotters for us?"

   "I stayed, I stayed, your uncle and nephew came to confess early in the morning, how can I not keep it for you."

   "Thank you, Uncle Gao!" Huo Xi was very happy, and took out the money bag from his arms.

  Gao Butcher took out a pig's trotter from under the desk: "We weighed it, two catties and two liang, just give thirty-two Wen."

  Huo Xi paused when he took out the copper coins.

   "Why, not enough money? Then I don't want the change, just give me thirty cents."

  Yang Fu looked at Huo Xi who was biting his lip, scratched his head, and said in a low voice, "Today we only earned twenty-six coins."

  Butcher Gao took an iron spike and pricked a hole in the skin of the pig's trotter, quickly pulled out two reed poles, twisted them, and was about to string the pig's trotters together.

After two breaths, he waved his hand: "Hey, twenty-six yuan is twenty-six yuan, and we will close the business. I only hope that you will come to visit next time." After speaking, he put two reed poles through the hole and strung up the pig's trotters. , tied a knot and handed it to Yang Fu.

   "Hey, thank you Brother Gao!" Yang Fu jumped up with joy. Look at Huo Xi.

Huo Xi was a little embarrassed, looked up at Butcher Gao, with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Uncle Gao, we have identified Uncle Gao's meat stall, and will come here often in the future. I wish Uncle Gao a prosperous business and continuous financial resources .”

   "Hahaha, okay, then Uncle Gao borrowed the good words from Huo boy."

  Gao Butcher likes to hear nice things from the Huo family boy, and he only feels comfortable physically and mentally.

  This kid doesn't even have any neat clothes, and he spends a long time thinking about buying a piece of meat, but this kid looks exquisite and good-looking, and he can speak well.

   Butcher Gao raised the corner of his mouth, watching his uncle and nephew walk away. Thinking about sending the two boys in the family to study for two years? Otherwise, there will be a lot of rough talk every day, which is very unpleasant.

  I was thinking about it, and felt a pain in my ear.

   Turned his head and looked: "Oh, lady, take it easy, it hurts, it hurts."

   "Forget it! Thirty-two pieces of meat, you took twenty-six! Is he your son or grandson?"

   Butcher Gao flattered him while screaming: "Hey, I don't even have a big hair, how can I have such a big grandson?"

   Seeing his wife with her hips on her hips staring at him, she quickly softened her body and went to comfort him: "Don't think I'm missing a few pennies from them, just wait and see, we will definitely have fresh fish and shrimp to eat tomorrow."

  The butcher lady Gao withdrew her hand, snorted at him and turned to enter.

  Gao Butcher touched his ears, the strength of the lady... hiss. Quickly closed the stall, leaving a few pieces of minced meat, I kept it for my own food, and did not sell it.

  As for Huo Xi and Yang Fu, the uncle and nephew happily walked towards the outer city ferry with a piece of pig's trotter.

   It is not the outer city wharf where they moved the goods. Their family's small broken boat can't stop there, and they can't pay the money for docking.

  The ferry is still a little away from the outer city wall.

  The two walked farther and farther away, the farther they were from the inner city wall, the more dilapidated the house.

  The capital is divided into four layers from the inside out: Miyagi, Imperial City, Inner City, and Outer City. Due to the well-developed water system in the capital, the inner river is connected to the outer river, and the outer river is connected to the Yangtze River, which leads directly to the canal. People who come to ask for a living can't afford houses in the inner city, and most of them live in the outer city.

  There are tile-roofed houses, wooden houses and bamboo houses, shacks, and some without thatched sheds.

  The more you go out, the more dilapidated the houses and the poorer the people.

  Huo Xi greedily watched it all the way, even after watching it for a few months, he still liked it. This is a real life, full of fireworks. Better than being stuck in a quad.

  Yang Fu couldn't understand.

   Don't see what's so interesting about this. It's just a little better than their small broken boat, and it has a fixed residence. Huh? Could it be that Xi'er wants to move to live on land?

  Yang Fu tilted his head to look at Huo Xi, then began to calculate the family assets, and sighed heavily after the calculation.

   "Xi'er, in the future, uncle will move more goods and earn more money." When they save enough money, they can move to live on land.

Um? Huo Xi was a little confused. Turning his head to look at him, he was about to speak when Yang Fu suddenly yelled: "Xi'er, run!"

   Before Huo Xi could react, she dragged him and ran away.

   "Wow, woof!" A dirt dog ran fast on four legs, and chased them straight.

  Huo Xicai turned his head to take a look, met the bell-like eyes of the earth dog, trembled in fright, and hurriedly ran forward!

  Jian Shao gave birth to two legs. That four-hoofed beast ran so fast.

   "Uncle, it must have taken a fancy to our trotters!" Huo Xi panted while running and analyzed.

  When Yang Fu heard this, he quickly let go of Huo Xi's hand, and quickly stuffed the pig's trotters he had been carrying into his bosom.

   "Xi'er, don't run in a straight line, run with a twist!"

  Huo Xi just ran with two short legs twisting, and jumped forward, almost tripping over. With a heart pounding, he bent his body and ran for a few miles with the inertia, before standing up straight and continuing to run.

  Seeing Huo Xi running far away, Yang Fu hurriedly chose a sunken earth pit and jumped in, quickly squatted down, and dug two handfuls of earth onto the ground with both hands to catch them in the water.

  Seeing that the dirt dog also stopped, it was looking at him with its limbs scratching the ground, showing an attacking attitude.

  Yang Fu endured his fear and threw a handful of dirt at the dog. The dog took two steps back, then stopped moving again.

  Yang Fu searched in the pit, and if he caught something, he threw it at the dog.

  The dog throws it back once, and throws it back once.

   After confronting each other for a long time, the dog barked twice, turned and left.

  Yang Fu lost his strength and collapsed on the ground. He touched the pig's trotters in his arms, it's okay, it's still there. Take a breath.

"uncle!"

   "Hey, here it is!"

   "Are you okay?" Huo Xi trotted over to pull him up.

   "It's okay. It's just a dog." Yang Fu puffed up his chest, trying to show the demeanor of an elder.

   "Let's bring a dog-beating stick next time." Huo Xi frowned when he saw that his chest had been heavily stained with oil.

   "Okay." Yang Fu was happy when the trotters were still there.

   The two quickened their pace and finally arrived at the outer city ferry.

   Now the sky has become dim and yellow, and the yellow afterglow is falling in the water waves, rippling and rippling.

   At this time, there are fewer ships docked at the ferry, and only three or two are dangling at the narrow ferry. The boat rope was tied to the bollard at the ferry, and the water wave supported the boat to rippling and swaying gently.

  This is the outer city ferry, which is some distance from the outer city pier. Merchant ships can't enter such a narrow river, and they won't come to the outer city ferry, and small fishing boats usually don't go to the outer city wharf easily.

  This is a wild ferry, and no one charges a docking fee. When there are too many boats, there is a chaos, and sometimes you can fight to tie the boat, but usually there are many fishing boats docked.

  Huo Xi found his own black-covered boat, jumped from the shore to the stern of his own boat, and shouted into the cabin: "Mom, we are back!"

  Following Huo Xi's movements, the whole boat shook, not by a small amount.

  Yang Fu also jumped down: "Sister, Xi'er and I are back!"

  A woman poked her head out from the cabin, smiled at the two and said, "Are you back?"
