It was already bright.

In the middle of winter, the city is particularly noisy.

The streets were still misty, but it did not affect the enthusiasm of merchants to open their businesses.

In the Guojia Store in Xiaoxi Bridgetou, there are newly-cooked mutton offals on the stall in front of the store. Passers-by can buy mutton offals worth three to five cents, make a bowl of hot mutton offal soup, and pair it with two sesame cakes from Grandma Wang's house. You will definitely be satisfied with eating them.

I walked up the Xiaoxi Bridge and came to Xucheng East Street.

This is the most prosperous commercial street in Xucheng. As soon as you enter, you can hear hawking sounds coming one after another, and endlessly.

Gao Xiaoyu can't walk anymore!

My body was too weak and hungry. After walking for a while, my legs became weak and my whole body was weak.

Although it was already dawn, it was still cold.

But Gao Xiaoyu was sweating all over his head, sitting at the corner of a foot shop, panting, letting his clothes soaked with sweat.

Fortunately, there was no wind today.

Otherwise, the taste would be even worse if you were blown by the little wind.

This Xucheng County has a strange land.

The only person who knew and familiar Ma Dazhuang was also arrested and imprisoned in Xucheng Prison.

Gao Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile bitterly... I remember that he followed his master in Hangzhou and went to and from gentry and wealthy merchant houses, which was very glorious. But now that his master has passed away, he doesn't even have a place to live, and he thinks about it a little sad.

However, this doesn't matter!

The important thing is to find ways to make money and fill your stomach, and then try to save Ma Dazhuang.

Ma Dazhuang is his savior. Did he watch him lie in prison for three months? Gao Xiaoyu could not remain indifferent.

And, that damn time cicada...

Thinking of this, Gao Xiaoyu felt that he had a goal again.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

However, the skinny reality disappointed Gao Xiaoyu.

The most prosperous and lively place in Xucheng is East Street. There are many shops and many vendors. There are also Xiaoxiqiao Wharf next to Xiaoxiqiao Bridge. The ships are flowing, and the goods on the wharf are piled up like mountains. Ma Dazhuang once said that he often works in the docks at the docks. When he is lucky, he can earn dozens of cents a day. Moreover, short-term workers are often hired here.

However, no one is willing to hire Gao Xiaoyu.

The foreman on the dock said that Gao Xiaoyu was thin and could not do cool labor at first glance.

It doesn’t matter if the coolie is not done. There are so many shops on the East Street, so you can always find something to do.

But Gao Xiaoyu found that no one was willing to use him on the entire East Street...

Bullying foreigners?

After running around for a whole morning, Gao Xiaoyu could see the clues.

It’s not that those people are unwilling to use him, but someone has warned them, so they dare not use him.

Who is asking for trouble for him?

Gao Xiaoyu's face looked a little ugly.

He sat on the pier at the head of Xiaoxi Bridge, bathed in the bright sunshine, but felt dizzy and a little heavy.

Wang Dalang!

It's definitely Wang Dalang and those people, and I don't want him to have a good time.

The vendors and even the coolies on the docks, who are honest and honest, how dare they provoke Wang Dalang's sluts? If it really doesn't work, go to Nan Street in the afternoon to take a look. Although it is deserted and not as prosperous as the East Street, it is indeed the place where the government office is located. Dongping Prefecture and Dongping Prefecture Inspection Office have all started there.

Wang Dalang and other rogues could threaten the vendors on the East Street, but they did not dare to be arrogant on the South Street.

Most people who can gain a foothold in South Street have some abilities. And those with abilities will never be afraid of guys like Wang Dalang.

But, I'm so hungry!

Just as Gao Xiaoyu was about to stand up and tie his belt tightly, his eyes suddenly became dark.

Before he could react, he saw two hot and fragrant cooked cakes appear in front of him.

"Xiao Gao, you're hungry."

A warm and soft voice sounded. Gao Xiaoyu looked up and saw a beautiful young woman standing in front of him.

She faced the sky with no makeup on her face.

He was wearing a simple jacket and skirt, and a blue and white waist-wrapped apron was tied around his waist.

The beautiful woman whispered: "Xiao Gao makes it easy to find a slave... If I hadn't asked Grandma Wang, I would have thought you had gone somewhere else. Judging from your appearance, I must have been hungry. I'll eat two pancakes to cushion your stomach first. If there is anything, we'll talk about it later."

"Who are you……"

Gao Xiaoyu looked at the fragrant cooked cake, and his eyes immediately fell on the beautiful woman's face.

He could use his dead master to guarantee that he did not recognize the woman in front of him.

The beautiful woman smiled and said, "But I forgot to introduce that my family's surname is Zhou, so I live in Chema Lane on West Street. I am Dazhuang's sister, and I went to the prison to see Dazhuang. Dazhuang is very good and has no grievances. He only told me to take care of you, Xiao Gao. I just went to the City God Temple, but no one was seen... Later, I heard Qian Xiaoliu say that you were driven out."

"You are Zhou..."

After listening to the beautiful woman's explanation, Gao Xiaoyu suddenly realized.

He knew who this woman was.

Widow Zhou! The Widow Zhou who asked Ma Dazhuang to chase and beat Du Shaosanliang Street for her, Xucheng people named "Caibing Xishi".

Ma Dazhuang once mentioned her to Gao Xiaoyu, so Gao Xiaoyu is not unfamiliar with her.

He knew that Widow Zhou was very good to Ma Dazhuang and took good care of him; and Ma Dazhuang, not being stupid, honest, but secretly liked Widow Zhou. He had told Gao Xiaoyu more than once how beautiful Widow Zhou was.

Now it seems that it is not a shame, it is indeed a beauty.

Gao Xiaoyu was very moved and smiled at Widow Zhou and said, "Thank you sister-in-law."

He was not polite either. He took the pancake and took a fierce bite. It was so delicious! Gao Xiaoyu even felt that this was the best pancake he had ever eaten in his life.

Widow Zhou saw Gao Xiaoyu's sweet food and also showed a sweet smile.

She was not in a hurry to leave, but instead sat down on the bridge pier beside her, put the basket with the cooking cake beside her, and then took out a water bag and handed it to Gao Xiaoyu.

"Thank you sister-in-law."

Gao Xiaoyu took the water bag, took a sip of water, and hurriedly thanked Widow Zhou.

"What a thank you? Dazhuang is because the slave was imprisoned. I feel very uneasy.

He wants the slave to take care of the Xiao Gao brothers, which is his duty. I heard that you were driven out of the City God Temple by Wang Dalang and the others?"

With a pancake on your stomach, the whole person is much better.

Gao Xiaoyu said: "But my sister-in-law laughed."

"Oh, it's good to leave there... In fact, I have advised Dazhuang to move out of the City God Temple for a long time. But he refused, saying that he wanted to stay for his grandfather for three years. Those people... Xiao Gao, you left, it's a good thing, so don't worry.

By the way, if you leave there, won’t you lose your residence?"

“It’s more than that, it’s hard to find some work.

I walked on this street just now, but no one was willing to use me. I thought it was because of the threat from Wang Dalang and his group. If it weren't for my sister-in-law, I would have starved to death here... In the afternoon, I wanted to go to the south street and try it out."

Widow Zhou nodded and said, "It's good that you know!"

She thought for a while and said, "If Xiao Gao has no place to live, go to my home."

"ah?"

Gao Xiaoyu was stunned and looked at Widow Zhou in confusion.

But when he saw Widow Zhou hurriedly explained, "I have a woodshed in my house. Although it is a little simpler, it can barely live in it. I told Dazhuang before that he would move there after he had been guarding for three years. Brother Xiao Gao, don't misunderstand it."

Gao Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed, and quickly lowered his head and took a bite of the pancake.

He said, "My sister-in-law is so kind that Xiao Gao is very grateful.

Let’s do this, I’ll go to Nanjie in the afternoon to see if I can find a livelihood. By the way, I also want to inquire about whether I can let Dazhuang come out earlier. He is an honest man and is imprisoned, even if it’s only three months, it’s not a good thing.”

"I'm afraid it's not easy... I also inquired. Dazhuang was also unlucky this time. He was named by the new Gao Dujian, so he was sentenced to detain for three months. If he wanted to save him, he would probably have to speak up, otherwise it would be very troublesome."

"Anyway, you have to try it, right?"

When Widow Zhou heard this, she couldn't help laughing.

Her smile was as beautiful as the plum blossoms blooming in the cold winter.

"Dazhuang is really lucky to have you brother."

As she spoke, she took out Yimo's money from her arms and stuffed it into Gao Xiaoyu's hand without saying a word.

"I don't know how to go about it, but I think I have to make money.

I don’t have much money to bring, so you can use it first. If there is really a way to use it and need to make money, I will tell me that I will find a way to raise money.”

"Sister-in-law, how did this make it?"

Gao Xiaoyu was shocked and wanted to return the money to Widow Zhou.

But at this moment, his body suddenly stiffened, and a look of surprise appeared on his face...
