Chapter 242: Awu
Hu Feng looked at the ingredients she was carrying. There were ribs, corn, leeks, tofu, green peppers, which he loved to eat. Well, this little girl was quite sensible.
The two then went back to the place where they parked their carriage. When they arrived, they found out that their carriage was missing. Even the man who was guarding their carriage disappeared.
Hu Feng frowned and asked the young man on the side: “Where is our carriage?”
The young man looked at Hu Feng and said with a bit trace of happiness: “Your carriage is gone, but what does it have to do with me? I’m not responsible for guarding your carriage.”
Another middle-aged man, who was crouching on the side, also opened his mouth: “It looks like it was stolen. Working as a carriage watcher is not a job that anyone can do. The life of your carriage will depend on the watcher. But some people are shameless enough to keep things that don’t belong to them. Giving your carriage to him is the same as sending a sheep into a tiger’s mouth. So, do you think there’s a chance for it to survive?”
Those two people were obviously talking nonsense. Hu Feng and Bai Zhi didn’t believe them. They asked another person. At this time, the old man, who also fight to take the job, his eyes were filled with sadness. He looked at the two people and said: “Do you still have any morality in your mouth? Is Awu really that kind of person? If not because he was too anxious, do you think he will drive away someone else carriage?”
Bai Zhi busily asked: “Uncle, what happened? Is our carriage was really taken away by the carriage watcher?”
The old man busily explained: “Young Lady, just half a column of incense, Awu’s neighbor came and said that his wife and daughter were driven out by their landlord. Unfortunately, his child is sick, they don’t have money to take her to the doctor. I really don’t know if that girl can survive another day. Awu became so anxious, he was afraid that his wife and child will be bullied. He hurriedly drives your carriage. You have to believe Awu, he will never steal your carriage. He will return it.”
Bai Zhi asked: “Where is his house? Can you help us and lead the way?”
The old man wanted to help, but he hasn’t received a job today. If he went home empty-handed, his wife will scold him.
Bai Zhi took out 5 silver coins from her purse and handed it to the old man: “Uncle, can you help us to look for our carriage.”
The old man was overjoyed. He didn’t expect that such a little girl, who was wearing a coarse cloth was actually a rich and generous person.
“Well, I will take you there.”

Awu’s house was not far from the downtown area. After crossing the street and turning to another street. The small house that he was renting at the end of the street was there.
A loud quarrel could be heard from afar.
“You owe me 3 months of rent, but you still want to live here? If you want to live here, pay me all the money you owed before.” A fat middle-aged homeowner fiercely stared at Awu.
Awu’s wife was standing behind him, she was carrying a child that looked only 3-4 years old.
Awu said in a low voice: “Boss Qian, I didn’t deliberately neglect my rent to you. It’s just, work is too tight recently, I cannot get so much money, but you can rest assured that I will pay back the money to you as soon as possible.”
Boss Qian coldly sneered: “I’ve seen a lot of people like you, but you still want me to believe you? You can’t even earn enough to feed your family, so how can you pay your rent?”
Boss Qian then swept his eyes towards Awu’s wife. He smirked and said: “I will give you two choices, use your wife to pay off your debt or use that carriage behind you as payment.”
