The Last Mecha

Chapter 81 Tail
"Hey, who am I talking about? Isn't this the talented Wu Gou from Huaining Street?"

On the way home, a woman in shabby cloth blocked the way in front of Wu Gou, with a smile on her face as if seeing her own son.

This person looks familiar.

Wu Gou went through several memories in his mind before he remembered that this was the Mrs. Gao who took the lead in begging for vegetables when he returned to the past.

They are a husband and wife with a son who is about the same age as Wu Gou. They live in another Shikumen house two buildings away. A mine colleague.

In the early years when Xu Qiuyu was still in good health, the family would often come to give some cheap coarse grains every now and then, which made Xu Qiuyu often return some more expensive fruits and vegetables with embarrassment.

Later, the Wu family fell into disrepair, and this family never appeared again, except for that time.

"you are?"

Wu Gou pursed his lips, completely unimpressed.

"Oh, I'm your Aunt Gao, the neighbor next door, you used to run and play with my leftover son on the street every day when you were young, good brother, can't you remember?"

"Can not remember."

"." Mrs. Gao's wrinkled face twisted, and then she smiled more kindly, "Hey, you are so forgetful, the rest of my family misses you so much, you see it's almost noon, Come to my house for a meal? Talk to him? It just so happens that your brother is also there."

"Oh, my brother is here? Okay."

Wu Gou glanced at her, doubts flashed across his face, he felt that this person was lying to him, but just to be on the safe side, thinking about it was just a matter of taking two extra steps, so he complied calmly.

The Gao family’s Shikumen house seemed even more crowded. After all, it only occupied one-fifth of the space, and the monthly rent was reduced by nearly half. There was the sound of children screaming, followed by a drizzle of dust falling down.

There was only one man in the room—short Mr. Gao, who was supposed to be sitting at the dining table during working hours, and there were a lot of dishes in front of him, served on small plates. It is cheap dishes such as grilled bran, tofu slices, and pickles, and it doesn't cost much.

"Isn't this Wu Gou?" Mr. Gao looked surprised, then stood up and warmly embraced his shoulders, "Long time no see, come here, it just so happens that the food is ready today, do you want to drink?"

"I'm not yet an adult. By the way, where is my brother? Didn't you say he was playing?"

"Oh, he said he went to the street with the leftover son. As soon as he ran away, he disappeared."

"Then I'm going to get them back?"

"No need, children, let them go, let's eat first. Wugou, you are different from those two little bastards. You are already better than adults. I am so tall that I have a drink with you. Who said no?" Adults can't drink alcohol?"

Well, sure enough, the white wolf came with empty gloves.

Wu Gou rolled his eyes, but he didn't have any seizures. He glanced at the dishes on the table. Although there was no meat, they were quite rich, and he thought that this was to save him the money for a meal in a restaurant.

It just so happens that I'm not rich right now.

He didn't shirk, he piled his sleeves, propped his strong arms on the table, sat down with his legs crossed, asked for a big bowl of rice, and ate it whole, the chopsticks in his hand were as swift as if they were about to draw out a knife, the momentum was terrifying .

The Gao family couple sat opposite him, smiling all over their faces. They really didn't expect the child in front of them to be so sincere that they couldn't get in even if they wanted to strike up a conversation.

"That. Wu hook."

"Eat it, eat it too, this tofu skin is good. What did you just say?"

"It's okay, you can eat, eat more if it tastes good, I want to say"

"Aunt Gao, give me another bowl of rice. I like staple food."

"."

After a few rounds of tugging and tugging, most of the food on the table was gone, and three bowls of Wu hook rice were added.

Mrs. Gao looked distressed at the side. Originally, these things could be eaten for several meals, but she just put them on the market, but she didn't expect that this boy could eat more than pigs.

She coughed, raised the corners of her eyes, and lightly stomped her low-heeled leather shoes on her husband's leg. Only then did Mr. Gao recover from the shock of Wu Gou's appetite, and after thinking for a while, he asked a question that made him regret it on the spot. if:

"Are you full?"

"Not yet, do you want another bowl?"

Wu Gou was also polite, raised his celadon bowl, and looked at Mrs. Gao with clear eyes.

"Oh, the young man is good. Everything tastes delicious." Mrs. Gao bit her lip, almost bleeding, "Well, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to have such a big appetite. I didn't cook enough, or I Go fry two peanuts, you two have a drink and chat."

As she spoke, she gave her husband a "success or success" look, and then headed towards the kitchen.

"Come on, come on, Wu Gou, we drink twice and ignore her woman."

Mr. Gao poured low-quality baijiu into a porcelain bottle and pushed it in front of Wu Gou.

Wu Gou was even more impolite, and lifted a glass of wine into his throat, but the pungent smell almost made his young eyes burst into tears.

"Uncle Gao, what's the matter with you, why don't you just talk about it."

Wu Gou said with a moody face, he could sit down and chat with him for a meal, but he would not be happy if he wasted any more time.

"Hey, it's not a big deal. Didn't I hear that Jiang Mulin, who opened the martial arts gym, sent you an invitation? You see, the rest of our family has played with you since childhood, and even a dog has a bond with him." Isn't it, why don't you take him with you when you see it, and use it to gain knowledge?"

"Isn't it kind of Uncle Gao to say that about his son?"

Wu Gou smiled inwardly, he knew that it was probably because of this kind of stalking.

Going around with me, and turning around in this family's mouth, it must be that I have become a close friend with myself, and I have Jiang Mulin's eye contact. In the future, others will have to consider whether to give face or not.

Naturally, he didn't intend to pay attention to it, just because he had a bad idea about the previous incident, so he would have a meal for nothing, but——

Wu Gou thought for a moment, why did he know in advance that Jiang Mulin had sent him an invitation? None of his family members like to make public...

"By the way, Wu Gou, I just want to take this opportunity to remind you. Someone on Haiyang Street asked if there were any children who fought particularly badly in the concession. Now that I want to come, is it possible that I was looking for you."

This Mr. Gao, like his wife, was both ruthless and ungrateful. It would be a great favor to consciously give Wu Gou a wake-up call. The other party would gladly agree to his little request, but for the past Don't worry about those trivial things.

He didn't notice that the expression on the boy's face in front of him changed little by little, and he was still talking.

"I told my wife when I went home. She happened to see the news about Jiang Mulin's invitation again, so she became concerned. As a result, half an hour before lunch, there were few people on the street, and she saw a person wearing a The bamboo hat was going to deliver something to your house, so I went up to meet him, and compared it with the photo in the newspaper, that person is really Jiang Mulin's apprentice..."

Until then, Mr. Gao, who was halfway through the conversation, stopped abruptly, and he shivered involuntarily.

The eyes of the young man beside him burst into a frightening look, like an ice pick in the rumbling twelfth lunar month.

It's not just fierce anymore.

Full of killing intent.
