After resting at home for a few days, Shen Xuanqing started to pack up the hunting stuff and was going up the mountain early in the morning the day after tomorrow.He hadn't used a long knife for more than two months. This knife was the most convenient for chopping wood and animals in the mountains. He had to bring it with him every time he went into the mountains. He sharpened the knife in the courtyard, and Lu Gu coaxed Ling Jun to sleep before he came out to watch.

When sharpening the knife, he needs to stir up the water. He sat there with his legs apart, saw Lu Gu squatting down with a hesitant expression, he didn’t know what he was thinking, and tried the blade lightly with his fingertips, but it didn’t work, so he picked up some water to sharpen it, turned his head and smiled He said: "It's not that I won't let you follow this time. In the past two years, we hunted too many foxes. This year, we will move to another mountain. Most of the time, we don't live in the house. Over there, there is a thatch building built by my master and I a few years ago." The hut is barely sheltered, not to mention shabby, and the road is still far away. It’s too dangerous for you to go without a dog by your side. I’m only going to hunt foxes this time, and the wild animals nearby will not be disturbed at all, so don’t worry.”

Hearing this, Lu Gu couldn't say anything more, besides, there was Brother Xiaoling at home, he couldn't leave the child so young, and the entanglement in his heart was just worrying that Shen Xuanqing would have no one to cook for him. Let it go.

"Then bring you some more dry food, by the way, is there something to cook in the thatched cottage?" He asked.

Shen Xuanqing said: "There is a clay stove and clay pots, enough to eat and drink."

Only then did Lu Gu feel relieved, and said, "Then you bring a pair of clothes, if they get dirty and lazy, I'll wash them for you when I get back."

"Okay." Shen Xuanqing agreed, and when she saw him squatting there, she said, "You pull a bench to sit on, so as not to hurt your legs and feet."

Lu Gu then took a stool from the side and sat down. He had already had lunch and had nothing else to do at the moment. Shen Xuanqing was leaving early the morning after tomorrow, and he felt a little bit reluctant.

"Hit the fox again this year, and I won't go there in the next two years." Shen Xuanqing chatted with her husband while sharpening her knife.

Lu Gu was puzzled and tilted his head slightly.

Shen Xuanqing smiled, and said unhurriedly: "Hunting is a matter of killing. I have been hunting for three years in a row, and rest for two years to let the foxes breathe. Master said that this is the way to recuperate. Hunting is not about killing them all. Like Wild rabbits grow faster and give birth more, and it’s okay to knock down small wild animals every year.”

"As for the big wild animals such as sika deer and dwarf deer, from the beginning of spring to winter when the mountains are covered by snow, I can kill at most ten or a dozen of them a year. The same is true for wild sheep and antelope. It is said that there are 200 or [-] foxes when you are young, and you can play for three years and rest for two or three years, not to mention other hunters. This is the rule of the master. Since he has passed on my skills, I will naturally follow them. I will not earn fox fur in the next two years. Money, one or two hundred taels less, but at least I have a clear conscience."

That's it, Lu Gu understands a little bit, even if Shen Xuanqing doesn't beat foxes, he has already earned nearly 200 taels this year. A few days ago, the two of them made up a whole sum of 200 taels, which is the same as the 400 taels they saved last year. Putting the silver together, the total is 600 taels of silver. The two of them have agreed on this money. They will not move unless there is a big emergency. It is a family property accumulated.He only earns 200 taels a year, and he is already rich in the countryside, so it’s okay if he doesn’t beat foxes.

Shen Xuanqing laughed again: "Besides, the fox is the master of the day and nocturnal. If you beat it at night or in the early morning, it will stay in the mountains at night and do dangerous things at night. It's good to rest for two years."

"Yeah." Lu Gu nodded, agreeing with this statement.

He lived in the deep mountains before, and the wild boar alone was enough to scare him that time. Although Shen Xuanqing didn't tell him much about the wild beasts in the mountains, he could guess a little or two after thinking about it. How could wolves, jackals, tigers and leopards be so easy to deal with? Yes, it really is right to rest at home for two years.

It was decided to go up the mountain the day after tomorrow, so Lu Gu didn't sit still, went to the kitchen to make pancakes, and let Shen Xuanqing eat steamed buns and pancakes at that time.

The sun was setting in the evening, and the little spirits were very well-behaved today, and the adults didn't wake up until after eating.He wet his pants, Lu Gu put him on the bed and changed into clean clothes.

Shen Xuanqing took the wet trousers and diapers out and put them in the wooden tub. When he came in, he saw Xiao Lingjun kicking his white and tender legs, not as fat as Zhao'er, like two thinner lotus joints, he burst out laughing.

It was cold, and Lu Gu quickly dressed the child. After putting on the little socks, he grabbed the two little feet and kissed them. He pretended to blow on the soft soles of the little feet, and the little spirit lying on the bed was very happy. When he laughed, he didn't giggle like Zhao'er now, but he would show a smiling face. Seeing that Shen Xuanqing was next to him, he felt itchy, grabbed his son's little hand and kissed him twice.

Xiao Lingjun still struggled and twisted a few times when wrapped in swaddling clothes, whimpering and chirping, obviously unwilling, this is the case with children, once the legs, feet and arms are more comfortable and looser, and seem happier than usual, it will not be a big deal if it is wrapped again willing.

The two big ones played for a while, Shen Xuanqing was very happy, and kissed her son's soft cheek again.This kiss Lu Gu obviously saw Xiao Lingjun's wrinkled face, as if he was reluctant, but at this moment Shen Xuanqing got excited and kissed him on the face again.

After giving birth, she was busy taking care of the child. The two of them had never been intimate again. It is not easy to take care of the child. Even with the help of family members, Shen Xuanqing didn't let go of his son's temper. Sometimes he was very tired. Besides, there was a baby lying on the Next to him, he didn't think too much about kissing and hugging, and so did Lu Gu.

I never thought that after I kissed her today, I would realize something was wrong, why did my cheeks hurt a little after rubbing against her.

He raised his eyes to look at Shen Xuanqing. At some point this year, green stubble gradually appeared on Shen Xuanqing's clean face. When it grew, he shaved it with a short knife. It is very common for men to grow beards in their teens. Both of them I didn't take it to heart, it just scraped off the day before yesterday, and it grew back today.

When he saw it today, the green beard stubble didn't matter, he suddenly felt a little different.

The man who has worked all year round has a tanned body, strong and tall, and he was still young and immature in the first two years. When he reached the weak crown of twenty, his body is not as strong as other young people. He is not yet strong. The tiredness of suffering has gradually turned into a kind of tempering. After the green stubble on the chin and the side of the face appeared, he looked more stable than before. He ate and drank well in the past two years. He has never been hungry again, and he has even become stronger Yes, it's just that he is not very old after all, and still lacks the precipitation of years.

Lu Gu didn't know what to say, and finally said after thinking for a long time: "Have you grown taller?"

Shen Xuanqing bent down and was playing with Xiao Lingjun who was lying on the bed, not guarding against his sudden question, and said with a smile: "Is there? Why didn't I realize it."

Lu Gu's mouth was clumsy, he couldn't tell the change in him, he just said: "You stand up straight."

Then he raised his hand and gestured on top of his head before reaching Shen Xuanqing's chest.

Shen Xuanqing raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little taller, but his pants were not short, so he must not have gone too high.

It's nothing unusual to be a little taller, Lu Gu hesitated a little after the gesture, and then quietly gestured with both hands on Shen Xuanqing's waist, it seemed a little stronger?Shen Xuanqing's body is full of firm flesh, even if he has never had sex at night, he has seen it, it must not be gaining weight.

Shen Xuanqing's physique is strong and slender, her waist is thin and elegant, she can't see much in clothes.I usually don't pay attention to these slight changes, but I noticed them today.

Because she was going to go up the mountain, Shen Xuanqing wanted to play with her son for a while, never wanting to see Lu Gu's quiet touch, her starry eyes immediately smiled brightly.

Lu Gu was hugged suddenly, and he slammed into his strong embrace. Before he could resist, he was kissed by Shen Xuanqing who bowed his head.

Brother Xiaoling is too young, and it's been cold recently, as long as the doors and windows are closed when entering the room, no one will see him, so he will not be so flustered.It's just that when Shen Xuanqing rubbed his cheeks with him as usual, the green stubble made his face uncomfortable, and he leaned back trying to avoid it.

"Too tight," he said, frowning.

Shen Xuanqing raised his hand to touch his green stubble, it was indeed a little bit, but before letting go of Lu Gu, he still rubbed it a few times, unlike the gentle and elegant man, he was a tough wild monkey when he was a child, it was a disgusting thing If you are used to it, you will inevitably have to do it.

Lu Gu was itchy and painful, but he couldn't help laughing, and was released after struggling.

Brother Xiaoling on the bed had no one to play with him for a long time, so he whimpered twice, seeing that he was not crying, Shen Xuanqing picked up his son in his arms and played with him.

Lu Gu rubbed his face and said, "I'd better shave tomorrow, I don't mind, it won't be good if it hurts Brother Ling."

Shen Xuanqing, who was about to kiss the baby, suddenly remembered that he was taking care of the baby by himself that day, but somehow it made him cry, and he couldn't coax him well for a long time.When Lu Gu saw his expression, he also remembered the child's wrinkled face when Shen Xuanqing kissed Xiao Lingjun just now.

The two looked at each other, and there was nothing they didn't understand.

Shen Xuanqing smiled embarrassingly, he was not used to shaving his beard, and he was not so proficient with the short knife when shaving before, and two small gashes were shaved on his cheeks. Nope, never thought it would be like this.

"I just said, why didn't our little Shuang'er kiss Dad, it hurts." He became happy again after thinking about it, and continued: "I will shave tomorrow morning."

Lu Gu frowned beside him, with a shallow smile but bright eyes.

Early the next morning, after the sun came out, the sky was bright. After finishing the work of feeding the poultry, Shen Xuanqing solemnly took out the bronze mirror to shave in the yard.

Although the same is true of shaving and bearded by the parents who are physically and hair-skinned, the customs here are slightly different. Needless to say, the hair, but most young and strong men do not wear beards to show their youthful and strong momentum. Walking on the street The more young men passed by, the more people in the village and county seemed to be thriving.

Before shaving his beard, he had scribbled it all over, but today Shen Xuanqing is much more careful with the short knife in his hand. He is used to all kinds of knives and arrows, and when he gets serious, the short knife in his hand becomes extraordinarily dexterous. In that way, I took the wild bath beads and rubbed out the foam. With the white foam moisturizing, it was really easy to shave.

After shaving, his cheeks and chin were very clean. He touched it himself first, thinking that now he would not be afraid of stabbing the child. Then he put away the dagger, happily took the bronze mirror and went back to the room.

Lu Gu was hugging Ling Jun to feed the milk fruit, when he saw him come in and take a look at his face that was as clean as ever, he smiled and said, "You can hug him after eating."

Shen Xuanqing put away the bronze mirror and sat down beside the bed. There were no outsiders in the left and right rooms. He lowered his head and rubbed his cheeks with Lu Gu first, with a twinge of pride in his starry eyes, he asked, "How is it?"

"It's okay this time." Lu Gu was talking, subconsciously wanted to turn his head to look at him, but unexpectedly kissed him on the cheek.

So Shen Xuanqing became more and more complacent, his eyes were full of smiles, he stole two incense sticks unceremoniously, and he couldn't call it stealing, he didn't hide his kiss, his smiling eyes were like stars after the kiss, without any sneaky expression.
