Chapter 114 Parental Heart
Wu Zhang returned to his wife and daughter, and the two of them ran over nervously, "Are you okay? I heard..."
"It's okay." Wu Zhang quickly interrupted his wife, then revealed the crab in his clothes, "Look, what is this!"
“Yeah, it’s a crab!”
The little girl saw the crab and clapped her hands excitedly, "Daddy is so awesome!"
“Of course!” Wu Zhang was naturally proud after hearing his daughter’s words. “If the weather wasn’t too cold, daddy could hunt some rabbits for you to eat.”
“Rabbits are so cute, why do you want to eat them?” The little girl was a little confused.
"Okay, don't bring out the greedy girl." Wu interrupted them, "We don't have a pot, how can we cook crabs?"
“Let’s make a fire and roast it directly!”
After Wu Zhang finished speaking, he looked at his wife and daughter's thin clothes and said, "I'll go find the yamen servant to change some clothes."
“Are they willing?” Wu was a little worried, “Don’t let them get hurt by then and turn their backs on us.”
“So, let’s eat first and let the girl be full before we talk.” Wu Zhang was also a little worried. Although he knew Xu Tian’s character, other government servants may not be as easy to talk to as Xu Tian.
The family of three walked to a place with few people, but not far from the government officials, so that others would not rob them.
Wu Zhang skewered the crabs into **** with sticks and grilled them on the fire. He was not idle after that.
Since he only had a few crabs, it was impossible to get clothes from the government servants, so he wanted to do some handicrafts.
It’s just that without a knife, he couldn’t weave bamboo products, so he got some vines and made a rattan chair or rattan bag.
Mainly make something practical that other people can use, otherwise the government officials will not accept it at all.
“Dad, the crab is red, it’s turning red!”
The little girl squatted by the fire, her little face was red from the heat. She stared at the crab, and when she saw it turn red, she clapped her hands happily.
Wu Zhang made a small bowl with vines, then made chopsticks, put the cooked crabs in the bowl, broke the shells into pieces, and took out the meat inside.
Mrs. Wu was also standing by, taking out all the meat from the crabs and pouring them into the little girl's bowl.
“Father, mother, you eat too!”
The little girl handed the bowl over to her parents to eat too, but Wu Zhang shook the crab shell in his hand.
“Daddy has already eaten again, you should eat quickly too!”
Mrs. Wu said the same thing, "Mom is here too. Girl, please eat quickly. It won't taste good when it's cold."
The little girl looked at the crab shell in her parents' hands suspiciously. When Wu Zhang saw this, he felt like grabbing the crab shell and sucking it.
Seeing her father eating with such relish, the little girl no longer had any doubts, but she still picked up another piece of meat and handed it over.
“Daddy, the meat is delicious!”
“Dad doesn’t like eating meat, you can eat it!”
The little girl handed the meat to her mother again, "Mom, you eat meat too..."
Wu also wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by Wu Zhang, "Take a bite, as a daughter's filial piety."
Wu opened her mouth and ate the piece of meat, which was about the same size as rat droppings.
"have you eaten!"
Seeing his daughter finish eating, Wu Zhang asked, but the little girl nodded, "I'm full."
“Gulu gulu!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl's stomach growled, obviously she wasn't full.
“Children can’t lie!” Wu Zhang said seriously.
The little girl nodded, but she hugged her father's legs nervously, "Dad, the water is cold, no more crabs, I'm not hungry."
Obviously, the little girl is very smart and considerate. She knew that her father caught crabs from the river and the weather was so cold that she was afraid they would freeze, so she lied.
Wu Zhang was deeply moved, but smiled on his face and said, "It's okay, dad is an adult and is not afraid of the cold."
He said this but still felt very guilty in his heart. Then he decided to roast all the crabs. The remaining crabs didn't have much meat, so they couldn't be exchanged for anything if they were given to the yamen.
It is better to give it to my daughter to replenish her body.
He continued to make wicker chairs and other things, intending to exchange them for them, and he already had another idea.
…
I don’t know how long it took, but he wove a few small baskets and a wicker chair. It was called a wicker chair, but it was actually a small stool.
Then he took these things to find the yamen servant, but unfortunately, Xu Tian was not there, and he didn’t know where he went.
Having no other choice, Wu Zhang had no choice but to choose a yamen servant who seemed easier to talk to, and then told him his thoughts.
However, the government servant shook his head and refused, "We don't have any extra clothes."
Actually, they did not. There was nothing on the carriage except food.
Moreover, they are not interested in Wu Zhang’s things at all.
“Can I exchange for some food?” Wu Zhang hesitated for a while and couldn’t help but ask.
"no."
The government servant refused without hesitation, "This thing is worthless. It can't be exchanged for food. If you buy it with silver, it's almost the same."
"I…"
Wu Zhang sighed. If he had money, he would have taken it out long ago. Unfortunately, he was just a servant before and didn't have much savings at all. He was plundered by Captain Sun and others for a while, so he didn't have much money at all.
In desperation, he just tried the last resort.
Actually, he considered selling these things to other prisoners, but now everyone knows the importance of money and will not spend it randomly. In addition, Captain Sun and the bandits plundered for a while, and everyone didn't have much money.
So, they will not waste money to buy extra things at all. They just say that this wicker chair is not necessary for the prisoners. If they want to sit, they can just sit on the ground.
…
“Miss, someone is looking for Mr. Chen!”
Chen Xue is using bamboo pieces to conceive of a bamboo house. After all, he has collected so much bamboo that he can build a bamboo house.
It’s just that none of them know how to build a bamboo house, so they discussed and built the simplest one. The roof will not be built for the time being. Anyway, there will be no rain in the space and there will be no sun exposure.
So, they only need to get some bamboos to form a few small rooms so that they can have room to rest.
So, Chen Xue came up with the design of the room. Although she couldn't build a bamboo house, she had seen a bamboo house before, and considering the shape of the room in her previous life, she definitely wanted to come up with a better design.
It's just that she had the idea, but Master Chen and others got numb when they actually implemented it.
It’s like they have brains but not hands. They put bamboos in a row, but they don’t know how to make doors and windows.
And they looked back at the sheepfold and found that it was no different from the bamboo house they built now.
So, Chen Xuezheng was depressed, and then he heard someone was looking for him, and he became a little curious.
When I got off the carriage, I saw a man with several small baskets hanging on his waist and a wicker chair in his hand.
"Who are you…"
The man immediately introduced himself respectfully, and then explained his purpose of coming. In order to avoid Chen Xue misunderstanding, he quickly explained clearly that he wanted to buy some clothes for his daughter to avoid frostbite.
Chen Xue waved her hand, interrupted him, and stared at him, "Can you build a bamboo house?"
The man was a little confused, but he still nodded, "Yes, the villain was a craftsman before."
