A Bowl to Feed a Dog
On the way to the young man's house,
Shen Xu and the young man were chatting.
"We've been chatting for so long just now. What's your name?”
"Guo Dahu." The young man replied,
"May I know how I should address you, benefactor?"
Then, Guo Dahu asked seriously,
"Shen Xu." Shen Xu smiled and said,
"Brother Hu, how long have you been practicing martial arts?”
"I've been practicing for 18 years." Guo Dahu replied concisely.
……
Soon, the two of them arrived at Guo Dahu's house.
Guo Dahu's house was located in the urban village of Zhonghai City. It was a two-story building.
This place was a rural area in the center of the city, and it felt like it could be demolished at any time.
Guo Dahu took out the key and opened the door. The two of them walked in.
As soon as Shen Xu entered, he saw some equipment placed in the courtyard.
Like stone locks, wooden figures, and so on.
It should be the one Guo Dahu used to practice martial arts.
He looked around the courtyard.
There was a kennel in the corner of the yard, but there was no puppy in the kennel. It should be outside or somewhere in the house.
"I'll go to the house to check on my mother first. You can sit in the living room for a while.”
After Guo Dahu finished speaking, he put down the cart and walked straight into the house.
Shen Xu understood Guo Dahu's words.
Guo Dahu was probably worried that his mother would be alone at home, so he rushed into the house to see his mother.
Shen Xu walked into the house and sized up the furnishings.
Guo Dahu's house was decorated very simply. It could even be said to be simple.
There was only a table and a few chairs in the living room. There was not even a sofa.
There was also a painting hanging on the wall, but there was nothing else.
Shen Xu did not see Guo Dahu.
She guessed that he must have gone to the bedroom to see his mother.
Very quickly,
Shen Xu heard the sound of someone coming down the stairs.
Then, he saw Guo Dahu coming down from the second floor.
Guo Dahu saw Shen Xu in the living room and walked up to him.
She said softly to him,
"My mom is asleep. Let's go out and talk.”
Shen Xu nodded and walked into the courtyard with Guo Dahu.
In the courtyard.
Shen Xu looked at Guo Dahu, who had a bitter expression on his face, and asked softly,
"What illness does auntie have?"
"The doctor said that it's best to have surgery as soon as possible for cardiovascular diseases. If we delay it for too long, we'll miss the best treatment time.”
Guo Dahu replied in a dull tone,
Shen Xu didn't say anything else and patted Guo Dahu's shoulder.
At this moment…
A skinny black puppy ran in from the door.
When the puppy saw Shen Xu, it immediately barked,"Woof, woof, woof…" cried out,
Guo Dahu glared at the puppy.
The puppy immediately lowered its head and gave in to Guo Dahu's tyranny. It ran to the kennel and stopped barking.
Guo Dahu looked at the puppy and said,
She said to Shen Xu,
"It's almost noon. I'll go cook first. I'll let you taste my cooking at noon today!”
With that, he turned around and walked into the house.
Shen Xu was a little surprised. He did not expect Guo Dahu, who was so big and burly, to know how to cook.
He probably learned it to take care of his mother, Shen Xu guessed in his heart.
However,
Shen Xu followed Guo Dahu to his house with a purpose.
Not long ago, Shen Xu suddenly had an idea.
If he wanted Boyuan House to reopen, he would definitely need manpower.
However, in order to pick up scraps and stock up in the future, there was a high chance that Shen Xu would have to travel around frequently.
The antique shop needed a trustworthy person to keep an eye on it.
Because antiques were all valuable items and there were many swindlers in the antique business, someone had to keep an eye on the shop from time to time.
On the other hand, Guo Dahu had been practicing martial arts since he was young. He was also tall and burly. Just by standing at the entrance of Boyuan House, he could intimidate those rascals.
Shen Xu wanted to take Guo Dahu under his wing so that he could look after the shop for him when he went out.
Of course, Shen Xu wouldn't just let him look after the shop.
He had been observing Guo Dahu's personality and character.
Overall, he was satisfied with Guo Dahu.
Being filial to his mother meant that he was a filial person and his character was not bad.
He didn't take the opportunity to raise the price, which meant that he wasn't a petty person who would forsake justice for profit.
In addition, people who practiced martial arts were generally more straightforward, so Guo Dahu had already passed Shen Xu's test.
At this moment, Guo Dahu went to prepare lunch. Shen Xu was a little bored in the courtyard alone.
Inadvertently,
Shen Xu saw the puppy in the kennel staring at him.
After some thought, Shen Xu went to the kitchen and found a leftover steamed bun.
He was prepared to tease it to pass the boring time.
Guo Dahu, who was cooking in the kitchen, saw Shen Xu come in and go out with a leftover bun. He scratched his head in confusion and continued to prepare lunch.
Shen Xu held the leftover steamed bun.
He placed it in front of the puppy's nose.
The puppy was probably hungry as well. When it smelled the steamed bun, it pretended to bite the steamed bun in Shen Xu's hand.
However, Shen Xu had already raised the steamed bun to a place where the puppy could not reach.
Shen Xu played with the dog with the steamed bun in his hand.
Seeing that it wanted to eat but couldn't reach it, it chuckled.
Under Guo Dahu's tyrannical power, the puppy didn't dare to bark and jumped up and down around Shen Xu anxiously.
Right at this moment,
Shen Xu heard a loud bang.
It turned out that the puppy had suddenly overturned its bowl.
The bowl that fed the dog turned over twice.
She rolled in front of Shen Xu and attracted his attention.
Shen Xu's eyes narrowed when he saw the bowl.
She threw the leftover steamed bun in her hand into the courtyard.
The puppy immediately ran in the direction of the remaining steamed buns.
Shen Xu squatted down and picked up the bowl that the puppy was eating.
