Traveling through ancient times as a hunter

Cheng Duo walked halfway, found a quiet and deserted forest, threw the box back into the space, and continued on his way with the half-empty pannier on his back.

Back in the village, he first went to Niu Blacksmith to get the big iron pot and arrowhead he had previously ordered. Because it was still early, he had to go back to his home first.

It's already very hot today, the sun hangs over his head like a stove, Cheng Duo is sweating from the heat, the first thing he does when he gets home is to boil water for a bath.

Coming out of the bathroom refreshingly, Cheng Duo was pleasantly surprised to find that Brother Yong had come and was making food for him in the kitchen.

"How did you come?"

"I'm worried, come over to see the vegetable field..." Brother Yong blushed and made an excuse. In fact, he came here once yesterday. He didn't see Cheng Duo, and he didn't sleep well when he went back last night.

"Just looking at the vegetable field, I thought you were here to see me?" Cheng Duo raised his eyebrows, and a smile slowly appeared in his deep black eyes.

Don't think he didn't notice, the vegetable field was wet when he came back, obviously someone had watered it before.

"Yeah, it's up to you too."

"Did you miss me?" Cheng Duo approached with his whole body full of steam, seeing that Yong Ge'er was shy and didn't answer, he didn't care, and kissed him on the face: "I miss you."

Brother Yong's cheeks were hot from his half-open chest and the hot breath on his body, he glanced at him embarrassedly, and said slowly: "I think about it."

After speaking, he quickly fled back to the kitchen.

Cheng Duo laughed, threw the dirty clothes into the tub, and followed into the kitchen.

The weather was so hot that he couldn't bear to leave his wife in the kitchen alone.Emotions need to be cultivated, you do yours, I do mine, even the best feelings will fade.

In fact, the kitchen of Cheng Duo's house is not big, and it is impossible for him to stay at the stove all the time, so he flipped the firewood a few times, and then he went to watch Brother Yong cut the meat: "What are you doing?"

"Is cold salad okay?" The weather was too hot, and he was afraid that Cheng Duo would not be able to eat it, so he simply ordered cold salad.Cheng Duo's family has vinegar, add a little soy sauce, garlic, mountain pepper and homemade chili, it should go well with rice.

"Okay." Cheng Duo was tall, so he simply put his chin on Brother Yong's shoulder to watch him cut the meat, and put his hands around the other's waist. He didn't want to do anything, but he just liked the feeling of the two of them together.

Brother Yong was a little helpless, Cheng Duo not only blocked his light, but it was very hot for the two of them to stick together in this weather...but he couldn't bear to ask Cheng Duo to go away.

Brother Yong lowered his head and smiled unconsciously.

Brother Yong's knife skills are good, the cooked pork belly is thinly sliced, red and white, the translucent meat slices are slightly rolled up, neatly stacked in the bowl.Cheng Duo ate a piece secretly. Although only ginger and a little salt were added, the pork itself tasted very fragrant, and there was also the smell of a large pot with firewood stove. It was not bad to eat it like this.

Brother Yong wanted to laugh when he saw Cheng Duo stealing food: "Is it delicious? Is it hot enough?"

"Enough." Cheng Duo nodded, and stole another piece, it's self-evident whether it tastes good or not.

Brother Yong knew that he might be hungry, so he asked, "Didn't you have any food on the way back?"

"It's too hot to eat."

Brother Yong felt sorry for him, so he unconsciously speeded up the cooking.He knew that there were buns and steamed buns in Cheng Duo's space, so he didn't make anything else.I just steamed the ones in the space, blanched an eggplant stick, fried cabbage, and added the water for cooking the meat to make a cabbage soup by the way, three dishes and one soup was just right.

At this time, the sun was still high in the sky, and the two of them were already going to have dinner.

During the meal, Brother Yong hesitated for a moment, and asked Cheng Duo, "Is there any news about my father?"

"No, I went to Xiling Camp to look for Wei Ling, but the guard said he wasn't there." The other guards didn't know either, and Cheng Duo couldn't just break in and look for him.

He thought that Wei Ling had either gone with Li Wang, or gone out on errands like Meng Ji, and he had no way to inquire about either, so he had to come back first.

It's not that Cheng Duo didn't want to look for it himself, the area around Yufang Mountain is very large, if he goes there, he won't be able to come back in a short time.He is not a native of the village, what will happen to the house and land after he leaves for a month or two?

The most important thing is Brother Yong. Cheng Duo is worried about leaving him alone in the village.

"Brother Yong, your father must be delayed by something, it's fine, don't worry."

"En." Brother Yong nodded, and could only continue to wait, hoping that his father could find someone to bring a message back.

In order to divert attention, Cheng Duo talked about his plan to build a brick and tile workshop, and showed Yong Geer the prescription he bought.

But Brother Yong couldn't understand, and he looked a little embarrassed holding the piece of paper: "I, I can't read..."

Cheng Duo held his hand: "It's okay, I bought a few copybooks when I went to Ershilipo this time, let's learn together when we have time, and I'll teach you."

Brother Yong was a little worried that he would not be able to learn, but seeing Cheng Duo's high spirits, he was too embarrassed to disappoint him, so he could only nod his head: "Then I'm a slow learner, so you can't be angry."

Cheng Duo laughed when he saw his brows knit into a ball: "We are not in a hurry, so learn slowly."

Brother Yong is relieved.

After eating, Cheng Duo took advantage of Brother Yong's time to wash the dishes, washed his dirty clothes, and started to deal with the arrows again.

This kind of iron arrow is thin on both sides and thick in the middle. It needs to be carved into the wooden arrow body in the hollow at the back, and then the tail feathers are inserted, and the front is polished to complete.

Brother Yong came out after washing the dishes, saw Cheng Duo doing this, squatted aside watching with interest, and asked after a while, "Can I try?"

"Okay." Cheng Duo simply handed over the work of cutting into the body of the arrow and inserting the tail feathers to Brother Yong, while he himself was in charge of sharpening the blade.

With great strength, he poured water on the whetstone while sharpening it quickly. It didn't take long for the arrows to show sharp edges.

After making out five or six bows, Cheng Duo went to take out the bows he had made earlier, and asked Brother Yong to try the feel.

The small farmyard was big enough, and Cheng Duo didn't let him go out, but just took a grass dumpling cut with a knife and hung it on the other side of the courtyard wall for him to practice.

"Be careful, don't hurt yourself."

"Yeah." Brother Yong was very excited holding the new bow, because not only was it his favorite, but it was also made by Cheng Duo himself, and he would definitely protect it.

Cheng Duo noticed that Brother Yong was not very accurate at first, and whenever the arrow hit the mud wall, he always had a pained expression on his face, but after a while he got used to the feel of the new bow, and his hit rate was much higher.

Of course, the grass dumpling is a dead thing, and the distance from the small courtyard is not far.If it was changed to a forest with more complex terrain, his hit rate would definitely drop a lot.

But Brother Yong was already very satisfied, he drew his bow tirelessly to aim, and once he hit a grass ball, he would jump up happily, like a child.

Also, he was not very old.

Cheng Duo shook his head with a smile, and continued to work on his own. Brother Yong also came to help after practicing for a while.The two cooperated with each other and finally finished all the arrows before dark.

It's getting dark, it's time for Brother Yong to go home.

Everyone in the village went to bed early, and Cheng Duo and Brother Yong were walking back to the village one after the other.A dog barking in someone's yard can scare him to turn his head and look around.

But it's a pity that no one came out to break through their "adultery".

Cheng Duo entered Yong Ge'er's house, first asked him to light the oil lamp, and then took out all the things he bought for Yong Ge'er: in addition to the big iron pot, there were cowhide wristbands, belts, quiver bags, and the clothes he bought. , shoes, pig pancreas, green salt, lamp oil, dishes, etc. from some grocery stores.

Brother Yong was dumbfounded: "These are all for me?"

This is too much, how much money did Cheng Duo spend!

"The clothes and shoes are very expensive, but they are still made of satin. Why are you buying them? I can't wear them!" Brother Yong was so distressed that he asked hopelessly, "Can these things be returned?"

"What do you do after returning it? I bought it for your use." Cheng Duo smiled.

"How can I use it so much..." Brother Yong hesitated to speak.

Cheng Duo knew what he was thinking at a glance, and took out a 50 tael silver ingot: "What do you think this is?"

Brother Yong's eyes widened, and he stammered, "You, where did you get so much money! The 50 taels given by Mr. Wei last time, didn't you already buy the land?"

You can't sell so many wolf skins!

"I sold two of the canned fruits we ate, and I'll give you the 50 taels, and you keep it as pocket money." Cheng Duo originally wanted to show his wife the money he earned to make him happy, but Brother Yong Obviously already scared, after thinking about it, let's talk about it later.

They've only been in love for less than a month, and Brother Yong doesn't feel safe yet, what if he thinks he's rich and wants to change his flag?He can't put a lot of money with Brother Yong, so it's better to give him a surprise when they get married.

Cheng Duo thought very well, but when he revealed his family background on the night of his marriage, it might not be a surprise for Brother Yong, but a fright...

"I, I don't want it!" Brother Yong quickly refused.

"The 50 taels is just a part, and the big head is still here...Brother Yong, you are so alien to me, and I don't even want any pocket money for you, so you're not afraid that I'm supercilious?"

Is this a little? Whose pocket money is 50 taels, and 50 taels are given, let alone they are not married yet!Brother Yong couldn't laugh or cry.

But he was afraid that Cheng Duo would be unhappy, so he took it hesitantly: "Don't worry too much, can't I ask for it?"

Then he held the silver and looked around, and found that there was no place to hide it in his house, because his two brothers had turned over it.

Brother Yong looked at Cheng Duo with a bitter face: "I have no place to hide this money. If my brother and the others come back, I will not be able to keep such a large amount of money. And you give me 50 taels, where can I spend it?" ?”

"Why don't you leave it there, save it for me, and I'll get it from you when I need it?" Cheng Duo bought him so many things, he didn't lack anything, and it might be difficult to spend money .

He returned the money to Cheng Duo, then picked up the clothes and shoes and stuffed them to him: "I also can't take these clothes and shoes, they are too eye-catching, you take them back first."

Cheng Duo was funny, Brother Yong actually learned to infer other things from one example, and even used his tricks to deal with him.

But yes, Cheng Duo reluctantly collected the clothes, brought back the silver ingots, and exchanged a pile of broken silver and a few hanging copper plates for Brother Yong: "Is there any problem with these?"

This pile of money was left over from his shopping, and some were robbed from the robbers. Those robbers were quite rich, and there were more than a dozen taels in this pile.

Brother Yong reluctantly nodded: "I will save it."

"Don't worry about it, I'll take it from me after the flowers are finished." Cheng Duo was rich and powerful at the moment, seeing Brother Yong's handsome face wrinkled again, he smirked and pretended not to see it.

He picked up the pair of cowhide wristbands, belt and bow and arrow bag to Brother Yong: "You wear these in a few days, and I will take you up the mountain to hunt."

"Really?" Brother Yong really forgot to worry about it.

"How can I lie to you? You practice archery at home for a few days, and I'll take you there when you're almost done."

"Ah."

Brother Yong listened to it, and spent several days practicing archery in the back mountain of his home. During this period, Sha Yang came to him secretly once, and was scared away by his archery.

It was precisely because Brother Yong didn't listen to Sha Yang, he didn't know that his marriage had been settled by Li Mancang and Wu Guihua.
