Chapter 155 The Donkey Has Changed
Retracting his thoughts, Chen Qingqing's gaze lingered on Xiaoyu's face for a moment, and he sighed softly.
No matter what he has been through in the past, as long as he hasn't recovered his memory, I will never abandon you.
"I'm not hungry, eat quickly, I'll give you this bowl too."
Xiaoyu was probably really hungry. After eating two bowls of wontons, he still felt unsatisfied. He looked at Chen Qingqing with pleading eyes, "My wife, I want to eat more."
Chen Qingqing knew that from a scientific point of view, people who have been hungry for a long time should not be allowed to eat too much at one time.
You must proceed step by step and gradually return to a normal diet.
It is best to eat small, frequent meals to give the body enough time to adjust to the food intake.
This not only avoids digestive problems and stomach discomfort, but also helps stabilize blood sugar levels in the body.
Allows the body to absorb nutrients from food more efficiently.
If you overeat, it will not only harm your body, but may also be life-threatening.
This is also a real case in the modern information-rich world.
A college student died after his stomach ruptured due to extreme expansion after eating continuously for several hours.
There was also a homeless man who had not eaten for many days and had an empty stomach.
A kind person gave him a rich meal, and he devoured it with all his heart.
However, after a big meal, he suddenly fainted on the ground, lost consciousness, and eventually lost his life.
Looking at Chen Xiaoyu's pitiful eyes, she couldn't bear it and said softly like coaxing a child,
"No, you've been hungry for too long. You can't eat too much at once, or you'll get bloated. Can you eat later?"
Xiaoyu listened, and although he was very reluctant, he nodded obediently, "I will listen to my wife."
After leaving the wonton stall, Chen Qingqing took him for a stroll to the livestock market in the east of the town, hoping to buy a donkey that could pull a millstone.
There were many people selling livestock in the market, including old cows that could not plow the fields, mules for running errands and pulling carts, and people selling livestock, but I didn't see anyone selling donkeys.
A cow pulling a mill definitely won’t work; it’s too slow.
Using a mule to pull a mill is a bit of a waste of talent.
If I couldn't buy a donkey, it would be too hard for my father to grind the mill every day.
Chen Qingqing was a little anxious, but there was no other way.
Just as I was about to turn around and leave, I saw a group of people gathered not far away, and I could hear crying coming from inside.
She wasn't very curious. Everyone had their own difficulties, and she didn't have the ability to meddle in other people's affairs, so she just wanted to go home quickly.
But when she turned around, she found that Chen Xiaoyu had squeezed into the crowd. She called out twice, but Xiaoyu didn't hear her.
There was no other way, so I had to separate the crowd and squeeze in, "Xiaoyu, let's go home."
"My dear, look, the old man is crying so pitifully. Can you help him?"
Chen Qingqing followed his gaze and realized that the person crying was an old man with gray hair and patched clothes. He was squatting on the ground with tears and snot streaming down his face, crying very sadly.
I wanted to pull Xiaoyu away, but when I saw his pitiful appearance, my heart softened.
She walked up and asked, "Grandpa, why are you crying?"
The old man trembled all over, tears streaming down his face. "The donkey has changed?"
Chen Qingqing then discovered that a skinny donkey was tied to a wooden stake next to the old man, and it seemed to have one eye blind.
She frowned, somewhat confused, "Isn't the donkey there?"
The old man cried even more sadly, "That's not my donkey. My donkey is fat and strong. This one is not mine. My donkey was replaced by someone else."
After asking carefully, Chen Qingqing finally found out what was going on.
It turned out that the old man came here to sell his donkey, intending to sell it to his son to marry a wife.
Since we left early and didn't have time to eat, I wanted to eat something. Dumplings are too expensive, meat huoshao is too dry, and big fruit is too greasy...
After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out, so I decided to sell the donkey to make a living.
When I arrived at the livestock market, I saw a small restaurant inside. They served sesame cakes and broth. The broth was free, and the sesame cakes were two cents each.
The old man's stomach was not keeping up, and he was growling with hunger.
I couldn't help it, so I tied the donkey at the door and went into the store.
I spent two cents to buy a sesame seed bun and started eating it with bowls of meat soup.
After eating and drinking, he came out and saw that the donkey had changed. When he came, it was round and plump with shiny fur, but now it was skinny and one of its eyes was blind.
The old man realized that the donkey had been replaced, and then he burst into tears.
After hearing what the old man had experienced, Chen Qingqing frowned and was filled with indignation.
"Grandpa, don't worry. Let's all work together and we'll definitely be able to get your donkey back."
She cupped her fists towards the crowd watching the excitement.
"Dear brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, this old man is truly pitiful. If anyone sees his donkey being replaced and can provide information that leads to the old man's donkey, I will give him a hundred coins as a reward."
People cannot live without interests. Chen Qingqing knew that there must be brave men who are driven by interests, and it was impossible for so many people not to be seen.
As expected, just as she finished speaking, a burly man said, "Just now I saw a man in his thirties, sneaking around leading a fat donkey towards the street on the west side of the town."
Chen Qingqing clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, big brother. I will fulfill my promise when I find the old man's donkey."
Then he said to the old man who was sitting on the ground crying, "Grandpa, stop crying. Let's go find your donkey."
"Girl, even if we knew the man who exchanged my donkey went west, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to find him."
"Grandpa, as the saying goes, an old horse knows the way. In fact, an old donkey knows the way too. Let it go and we will follow it. We will definitely find your donkey."
"Even if we find him, what if he doesn't admit it?" The old man still had some concerns.
Chen Qingqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. As long as we find the donkey, he won't dare to deny it. If he dares to deny it, we will report it to the police."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." The old man stood up, untied the old donkey tied to the wooden stake, and followed the old donkey.
The old donkey walked west along the street, and soon everyone followed him to a remote alley.
The old donkey walked into the alley and stopped at the door of a dilapidated house. There was some fresh donkey dung at the door.
Chen Qingqing knocked on the door gently, but no one responded.
She pushed the door open carefully and saw that the room was full of junk. In the corner, a fat donkey was standing quietly.
"This is my donkey!" the old man shouted excitedly.
At this time, a figure walked out from the darkness. It was Zhang San who had stolen the donkey.
