This person was the follower of that narcissistic guy, and also the one who approached her to inquire after she had dealt with the robbers.
Although it was a bit of hindsight, they at least came to inquire and even helped catch the three robbers and send them to the yamen.
Hong Xiaoduo nodded and smiled politely in response.
"I'm buying fodder here, what about you?" Jiao Tu asked familiarly.
“Yes, we’re also buying fodder,” Hong Xiaoduo replied.
The shopkeeper came over and asked what grade of fodder she wanted. Hong Xiaoduo looked at Tian Shu, signaling him to answer.
Tian Shu hesitated for a moment: "It's of medium quality. I don't know how much it costs, what price?"
The shopkeeper didn't think much of Hong Xiaoduo and the others' clothes and gave them a detailed explanation of what each type of hay was made of. Hong Xiaoduo was surprised to find that there were so many kinds of hay for feeding horses and so many intricacies involved.
What kind of fodder do warhorses eat, and what kind of fodder do ordinary cart-pulling horses eat? The most expensive fodder is alfalfa, which is said to be the king of pasture, but this kind of pasture is not sold in this small town.
Hong Xiaoduo didn't listen at all, but Tian Shu listened very attentively.
Hearing that the price of medium-grade forage with added wheat bran and soybeans was expensive, but he really wanted to buy it, so he looked at Hong Xiaoduo with some difficulty.
"Buy it. As for how much, that's up to you." After saying that, Hong Xiaoduo took out a silver coin and handed it to Tian Shu.
The phrase "how much weight" reminded Tian Shu that if too much is bought, the donkey cart's load capacity will be exceeded.
Having never been to school, he lowered his head and calculated for a while before looking up at the shopkeeper and saying, "I'll buy fifty catties."
"Hey, young master, you're using a donkey cart. Why are you buying such good fodder to feed your donkeys?" Jiao Tu, who had paid the money but wasn't in a hurry to leave, asked.
The shopkeeper was taken aback and looked at Tian Shu.
"What's wrong with the donkey? It works hard too, shouldn't we give it a little better food?" Tian Shu couldn't help but say, looking at their expressions.
That made sense, and the shopkeeper and Jiao Tu nodded with smiles upon hearing it.
"Young master, you are kind-hearted and know how to cherish your feet. Wait here, I'll weigh it for you." After saying this, the shopkeeper told the shop assistant to weigh the fodder.
Soon, a worker came over carrying a large sack of hay and asked where the cart was, asking if he could put it on the cart.
“Our vehicle isn’t here, I can carry it myself.” Tian Shu said, looking at the sack with a bit of worry.
“Let’s carry it back together,” Tianxuan and Tianji said as they came over.
Just as Hong Xiaoduo was about to come over and pick it up, Jiao Tu walked over and said, "Buddy, just send their fodder, which I bought, to the inn together."
Huh? Hong Xiaoduo and Tian Shu heard the key phrase: "Are we staying at the same inn?"
“Of course it is, isn’t it the Four Seas Inn?” Jiao Tu said.
Yes, it was the Sihai Inn, but I didn't see them there.
"Don't worry, I won't take your fifty catties of fodder." Jiao Tu looked at Tian Shu and joked with him.
Hong Xiaoduo did not refuse the other party's kindness and thanked them.
The waiter overheard this and felt that something was amiss. If anyone should be thanking someone, shouldn't they be thanking him, since he was the one who delivered it?
Since they bought 300 jin (150 kg) of top-quality fodder and even gave us a tip, we should thank them.
As long as I get the reward money, I don't need to carry it myself; the shop's carriage will transport it.
After leaving the fodder shop, Jiao Tu followed closely beside her. Hong Xiaoduo looked at Tian Shu, wanting to see how he would react to this person following her so closely, and whether he was also worried that this person wanted to be their father.
But no, Tian Shu kept turning back to look at the cart loading hay at the entrance of the hay shop.
Hmm, for Tian Shu right now, fodder seems to be more important! Hong Xiaoduo couldn't help but laugh after finishing her assessment.
"Young lady, if I may be so bold as to ask, who is your master?" Jiao Tu didn't want to miss this rare opportunity, so he quickly asked.
Hong Xiaoduo thought for a moment, and there it was again. How could she answer that? If she asked her, how would she know the answer?
"Alright, I apologize for being presumptuous. Here, let me help you hold her." Jiao Tu didn't get the answer he wanted, but he wasn't disappointed and kindly reached out to Yao Guang in her arms.
Before Hong Xiaoduo could even refuse, Yao Guang reached out to Jiao Tu.
Hong Xiaoduo couldn't bring herself to refuse Yao Guang's actions, and let him carry her away.
"Young lady, you know my master, don't you?" Jiao Tu continued to inquire.
It's still quite a distance from here to the inn. I refuse to believe that we can't get any valuable clues out of them.
"I've met you, but we're not close," Hong Xiaoduo said after considering her words for a moment.
There's no need to talk about the matter of inviting their master to eat meat buns, and I don't want to talk about the misunderstanding that occurred.
“Our master and Young Master Dong are good brothers,” Jiao Tu added.
Hong Xiaoduo nodded, indicating that she understood.
Why does this young lady dislike chatting so much? "Did Young Master Dong mention my master's identity to you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young woman beside him shook her head.
"Then, young lady, aren't you curious? Don't you want to know?" Jiao Tu asked again, unwilling to give up. He was prepared to tell her everything he knew, simply to gain her favor and find out why his master was behaving so strangely.
Hong Xiaoduo turned her head slightly and looked at him. She really wanted to say that, more than his master's status, she was curious whether men could be so familiar with everyone they met and so talkative.
Actually, she didn't dislike this kind of person, because her impression of him wasn't bad, even though he didn't intervene in what happened on the road that afternoon.
