Chapter 8: Getting up early and rushing

The drunk Guo Xiaowu couldn't extricate himself from the story of Yue Fei told by the storyteller. Even in his sleep, he dreamed that he rode a war horse to fight on the battlefield. He was Yue Wumu, and Yue Wumu was him.

"Xiao Wu!" A shout made Guo Xiaowu wake up from his sleep.

"Who!" Guo Xiaowu, who suddenly woke up, sat up from the bed. When he saw that Li Dazhu had already started packing his luggage, he realized that he had just had a dream.

"It's the fifth day, it's time for us to hurry up." Li Dazhu said.

"Brother Dazhu, I had a dream last night that I became Yue Fei. I led thousands of troops to defeat the Jin soldiers, welcomed the two saints, and then returned to the court to kill Qin Hui." Guo Xiaowu turned over and got out of bed, and said excitedly in his shoes.

"Is that so? This dream is really a good dream. You have become a general. Have you woken up from the dream?" Li Dazhu inserted the shoulder pole into the hemp rope tied to two boxes, squatted down and shouted and picked it up.

"Wake up!" Guo Xiaowu responded.

"When you wake up, let's hurry up and go home early! There are now breakfast shops in the town, so buy some pancakes to eat on the road." Li Dazhu said.

"Oh!" Guo Xiaowu agreed and followed Li Dazhu downstairs! But what he was thinking about was still the things in his dreams, which made him smile foolishly.

"Second, please go slowly!" The waiter had been waiting at the door, and it was not just the two of them who left early. Some of them were awake and they heard the chicken crowing and called the waiter to open the door and leave.

The moon in the sky is still high, and it is still a while before dawn! There are very few pedestrians on the street, and people in groups of three or three can hear coughs from time to time when they walk out. The breakfast shop has now left the stall, and the fragrance is floating on the street.

After Guo Xiaowu followed Li Dazhu to a breakfast shop, Li Dazhu shouted: "Ten buns, thirty Luofu, give two more green onions, and pack them with spicy sauce."

Only then did Li Dazhu put down his pick, reached out to take the money into his pocket and handed it to the shop owner, then he took out the cigarette and matches, and lit a cigarette with a slight sound.

"Brother, are you going to go far away!? Then you have to wait a while longer. There are a lot of thirty Luofu. It won't be easy for me to burn it for you." The owner of the pancake shop is an old woman, who opened the pot and started to knead the dough.

"Auntie, I'll wait a while, and I'll go on a long trip to do some business! No one's family can eat on the way, so prepare more for themselves." Li Dazhu smiled and made up a reason to swear to the old woman.

"The buns are rolled with green onions, it's very fragrant!" Guo Xiaowu said, swallowing, he was hungry.

The old woman laughed and looked at Guo Xiaowu and said, "Auntie, I'll bake the cakes. Let you have a taste first, which is what the aunt gave to you."

"It's very high!" Guo Xiaowu laughed.

Li Dazhu smoked a cigarette and laughed and said with no intention: "Auntie, how can you do it if you are all small businesses?"

"You bought a lot of baked buns, and you made money with one cake many times." The old woman said with a smile.

The baking buns were made very quickly. After the hot pot was hot, the first pancake was soon put on the pot! The old woman handed the pancake to Guo Xiaowu, and Guo Xiaowu couldn't wait to take it, took the scallion jokes on the shop, brushed a layer of spicy sauce on the pancake, and took a bite and it tasted very delicious.

"Well, it's so delicious!" Guo Xiaowu praised sincerely.

The old woman smiled with satisfaction. At this time, people came to the shop one after another! The old woman's eleven or twelve-year-old granddaughter also came to help. It took a few cups of tea and the moon and stars tonight, and it was already bright.

Thirty pancakes were also out of the pot and placed on the newspaper layer by layer. The old woman's granddaughter wrapped the pancakes and then wrapped them ten big buns, then tied up the seven or eight green onions prepared and handed them to Li Dazhu.

"Uncle, it's done! Hold the hot sauce with oil paper and don't spill it." The little girl instructed very sensible.

"Zhong! He is a good daughter." Li Dazhu took it and praised it, handed the food to Guo Xiaowu, carrying the load and walking out of the town.

Guo Xiaowu was not full of bread, so he took it and prepared to open it and continue eating it! Li Dazhu stopped him and said, "Eat the buns first. The bread can be stored, which is enough for us to eat for two days.

We passed by the town these two days and stopped going, so we took the small road home! When we arrived at the village in front, we had to drink water."

"Brother Dazhu also said that he would meet a strong man when he walked on the small road? Why didn't he go home when he walked on the big road?" Guo Xiaowu asked. He opened the oil paper of the bun, handed a bun to Li Dazhu, picked up a big mouth and bit it down.

"The road will be taken away for several days. What are you afraid of if we have a gun in our hands? On the way, when we encounter a robbery, we will kill one and scare away a group of people."

"That's going to kill people." Guo Xiaowu couldn't help but feel scared when he remembered to kill people.

"If you are not cruel to travel far, you will die if you force yourself to block the road. It is common for you to kill your life if you seek money. If you don't do anything, they will take your life by you." Li Dazhuxun said.

"We can't kill anyone." Guo Xiaowu said, and he didn't listen to Li Dazhu's words at all.

"Do you still want to go home? You have to pass the county town on the road, and there are soldiers guarding the county town. If we find out our identity, we can't survive. We are deserters." Li Dazhu reminded.

When Guo Xiaowu heard the word deserter, his body trembled! He is still holding his head now? Xiaolu is much stronger than being caught when he meets a strong man. They have guns in their hands.

After leaving Yanghe Town, the two of them embarked on the small road outside the town! From time to time, they would meet several pedestrians on the road, some would come into the city with loads, and some would take shortcuts from the city to go home. No one would pay special attention to them.

The two arrived at the nearest village outside the town, and Li Dazhu led Guo Xiaowu into the first family in the village.

"Auntie, you're thirsty at the rush, so beg for a bowl of water." Li Dazhu shouted politely at the door, putting down the burden.

"What do young people do to make a living?" The old woman in the yard walked out. She just came out of the kitchen and took the dough and wanted to dig some corn flour into the main hall. Li Dazhu happened to see it.

Now that the sun is rising, it is warmer under the sun's illumination! The sun is still a little warm in early autumn, and Li Dazhu's forehead is wiping with sweat beads rolling on his forehead with a towel.

"It's nothing, I just go out to go home." Li Dazhu responded, this time he was telling the truth.

There are many peddlers who carry a burden to the countryside like him, selling some needles and threads! Ordinary people will use eggs or women's hair to comb their hair to exchange for needles and threads that they need.

"Then you wait!" The old woman entered the main hall, dug a scoop of thick noodles and placed it behind the table in the kitchen! She picked up the large porcelain bowl at home and dug a bowl of water from the jar and took it out.

"Thank you aunt!" Li Dazhu took the water over and handed it to Guo Xiaowu! After Guo Xiaowu drank half a bowl, he drank the remaining water.

"Have you drunk it? I haven't drunk it yet, and I'm waiting for the aunt to scoop it for you." The old woman asked.

"Enough, enough!" Li Dazhu said as he took up the burden and left.

"Brother Dazhu, his family is making cornmeal cakes." Guo Xiaowu followed Li Dazhu's back and swallowed.

"Do you want to eat?" Li Dazhu smiled.

"Well! My mother has made it, it's delicious." Guo Xiaowu said.

"Then go home quickly and let your mother do it for you." Li Dazhu smiled, and his pace of carrying the load accelerated a little.
