I'm not a pet

Chapter 148 Dried Meat and New Clothes

Mei Shui didn't accept his thanks, took another bamboo cushion and put it on the ground, and sat down: "Young Master Lu, you're welcome! If you take money to do things, I'll be considerate of my service!"

Xu Shi was busy on the road all morning and was silent for too long. Mei Shui, who was sitting down, had already torn off the silk scarf covering her face, took out a water bag and drank a few sips of water, and said: "It's noon. The temperature of the sand is enough to boil eggs. If you sat directly on the sand just now, it would burn you!"

Lu Yunchu had placed the bamboo cushion at an arm's length away from him, and sat down slowly.Hearing what he said, he carefully stretched out a hand close to the sand to test the temperature.

Sure enough, as soon as the palm touched the sand on the ground, there was a rush of heat.He retracted his hand and stopped probing, turned around and took out the water bag from the bag to feed the piglet to drink water.

"Surely this bamboo mat was also made by Master Ling?" The bamboo mat is small but very thick, just enough for one person to sit on, and effectively insulates the high temperature transmitted by the sand.Lu Yunchu admired Mei Shan's delicacy from the bottom of his heart.

"That's it!" Mei Shui showed pride again, and patted the big backpack next to her: "The belongings in this bag are all made by my master."

Seeing that the little pig drank water, Lu Yunchu took out some dried meat from his bag and put it in the little pig's pocket hammock, then rolled up the silk scarf covering his face, and took a few sips of water happily.

"I am afraid that the teacher often walks in the desert, so he can make such a sophisticated and practical thing with rich experience."

As Lu Yunchu spoke, he picked up a few pieces of dried meat and wanted to put it in his mouth, but he saw Mei Shui was gnawing on a hard steamed bun, his hand raised in mid-air couldn't help being stunned, he retracted it for a moment, and took out two pieces from his backpack. The big paper bag of jerky was passed to Mei Shui.

Mei Shui was wolfing down the rotten-smelling steamed bun, while answering Lu Yunchu: "Master often took me to walk in the desert when he was not suffering from leg problems, and he also made these things in the early years."

Coming out early in the morning, in order to save on food, he only drank two sips of water before leaving home to join Lu Yunchu.Thinking that he might be away from home for at least three to five days on this trip, he went to the city last night to gather food for Master for two days.

Hu Zhongtian's buddy, Aman, has a very good personal relationship with him. Last night, he left Aman ten coins and entrusted Aman to buy fresh food from the city every two days to send to his master.Those ten coins were all his income from selling the pile of "ancestral treasures" in the corner of his house. Anyway, he won't need those things in the future to help his master blackmail people back to divination.

When he was young, his master would make some interesting gadgets and sell them in the city for some money to support the two of them.Ever since Master's leg disease broke out, Master has shut himself in the house all day long, no longer caring about how the days continue.But he is unskilled. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he can only make some small money by cheating and abducting, barely maintaining the life of the two of them.

The steamed buns in the bag were made by a steamed stuffed bun shop in Oasis City, which was not doing well.Mei Shui has long grasped its law, and this steamed stuffed bun shop will throw away a batch of unsalable steamed buns every few days.Over the years, he has often picked up the steamed buns thrown away by this bun shop. These rancid steamed buns have also been his main meal in the past six or seven years.

Mei Shui was enjoying eating steamed buns when she saw two big paper bags of jerky being handed over to her.He raised his head and looked at Lu Yunchu strangely, chewing incessantly in his puffy mouth, while uttering indistinctly: "What are you doing?"

Lu Yunchu thought for a while, and said: "Little pig said that eating jerky will restore physical strength quickly." Worried that Mei Shui would not accept it, he added: "Once we are in danger, Xiaozhu and I still count on you to save us, so you should add more. some food."

Since Lu Yunchu said so, and he paid [-] coins for the guide fee, he must be rich. Now that he guides him, it doesn't matter if he eats a few bags of jerky.Those two bags of jerky made Mei Shui's eyes shine, God knows how many years he hasn't eaten meat...

Immediately, he stuffed the remaining steamed buns into his mouth in one gulp, and stretched out his other hand to pick up the paper bag unceremoniously.

Seeing Lu Yunchu handing over the jerky, he lowered his head to eat and stopped looking at him. Mei Shui just looked at the jerky in the bag for a while, and after swallowing all the steamed buns in his mouth, he picked up a small piece of meat with his fingers. I put the dried meat in my mouth, chewing slowly and reminiscing...

Mei Shui didn't know that his actions were all seen by the silent pig in the pocket hammock.

That small piece of dried meat and plum water took more than three times the time to eat that rotten steamed bun.After eating, he smacked his lips while looking at the jerky in the paper bag in his hand.

Little Pig thought that he would continue to eat jerky, but unexpectedly, Mei Shui, who was smacking his lips, carefully closed the paper bag in his hand, and put the two bags of jerky into his backpack sideways.

Little Pig silently watched Mei Shui's actions.Her pig nose has already smelled the rotten smell of Mei Shui's steamed bun, and she also saw Mei Shui's bright eyes when she was holding the jerky, she thought he would drop the rotten bun to eat the jerky , but not only did he not throw away the steamed bun, but he only tasted a small piece of dried meat and put it away carefully. It is conceivable that he wanted to save it and bring it back to Meishan...

She didn't expect that the "street bully" in her eyes had such a tender side.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help sighing "Hey".

Hearing her sigh, Lu Yunchu stopped eating jerky and looked at her: "What's wrong? But you're not full yet?"

Little Pig only replied that he was full, but lay down sleepily, his eyes still on Mei Shui.

Mei Shui has been wearing that dirty and old clothes with indistinguishable colors, the elbows and hem of the clothes are worn out in many places, presumably this clothes has been worn for many years.

Lu Yunchu followed Xiaozhu's gaze and looked at Meishui, then thought of something, put down the water and food in his hand, dug out a cloth bag from his bag and handed it to Meishui.

Mei Shui was sipping water, when she saw Lu Yunchu handing over something again, she subconsciously stretched out a hand to take it, and asked, "What is this?" She put down the water bag and opened the cloth bag in her hand.

As the cloth bag was opened, Xiaozhu recognized that it was the two sets of dark clothes that Lu Yunchu bought at the clothing store yesterday.At first, she wondered why Lu Yunchu bought two sets of dark-colored shirts because he was used to wearing light-blue shirts?But it turned out that he bought it for Mei Shui...

Mei Shui looked at the two sets of brand new clothes, and looked at Lu Yunchu in astonishment: "What does this mean?"

Lu Yunchu picked up the water bag again and took a sip of his saliva, and then said: "Yesterday I bought these clothes, and after I went back to the inn to try them on, I realized that these two sets are too small. I think you should wear them just right."

Xiaozhu looked at Lu Yunchu with a calm face, and thought: This man is really scary, he is telling lies, but he still speaks in such a serious and calm manner...

Mei Shui took the clothes and looked at Lu Yunchu suspiciously, and then at herself, obviously they were about the same size...

"This can't be counted in the wages!" Mei Shui was grateful, but still asked in a low voice.

"Yeah. It doesn't count." Lu Yunchu's eyes avoided Mei Shui's gaze, and looked at the small sand dunes not far away.
