MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 183
After resting at home for a few days, Shen Xuanqing started to clean up the hunting things, and was going to go up the mountain early 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 beasts in the mountains. He had to take it with him every time he entered the mountain.
When sharpening the knife, he had to lift water. He took his legs apart and sat there. Seeing Lu Gu crouching down, he looked hesitant. He didn't know what he was thinking. He lightly tried the blade with his fingertips. Said: "This time it's not that I won't let you follow me. I fought too many foxes in the past two years. This year, I have to move to another mountain. I don't live in the house most of the time. There is a thatch that my master and I built a few years ago. The hut is barely sheltered, not to mention the simplicity, the road is still far, you go without a dog, it is too dangerous. I am going to hunt a fox this time, and the wild animals next to it will not be disturbed, you can rest assured. "
Hearing this, Lu Gu couldn't say anything more. Besides, there was still a little brother at home. He was so young that he couldn't leave him alone. The entanglement in his heart was only because he was worried that Shen Xuanqing would have no one to cook. In this case, he had to Done.
"Then bring you some more dry food, by the way, there are things for cooking in the thatched hut?" he asked.
Shen Xuanqing said: "There is a clay stove and a clay pot, enough to eat and drink."
Only then did Lu Gu feel relieved, and then he said, "Then you bring a pair or two of clothes. If you're lazy, I'll wash it for you when you come back."
"Okay." Shen Xuanqing agreed, and when he saw him squatting there, he said, "You can sit on a bench to save your legs and feet from being sore."
Lu Gu just took a stool from the side and sat down. He had already eaten lunch, and there was nothing else to do at the moment. Shen Xuanqing was leaving early the day after tomorrow, and he felt a little reluctant.
"I'll fight the fox again this year, and I won't go there for the next two years." Shen Xuanqing was sharpening his knife and chatting with his husband.
Lu Gu was puzzled and tilted his head slightly.
Shen Xuanqing smiled and said in a hurry, "Hunting is a matter of killing. I have been hunting for three years, and the foxes can breathe after two years of rest. Master said that this is the way of recuperation. Hunting is not about killing everything, like Wild rabbits grow faster and live much more, and it's nothing to beat small wild animals every year."
"As for wild animals such as sika deer and dwarf deer, from the beginning of spring to the winter when the mountains are closed by snow, I will hunt at most ten or a dozen of them a year, and the same is true of wild goat antelope. It is autumn that foxes hunt more. When I was young, I said there were 20 to 30 animals, and I would fight for three years and rest for two or three years. Other hunters would not say that this is Master's rule. Since he passed on my craft, I naturally have to follow it. I won't be able to earn fox skins in the next two years. Money, one or two hundred taels less in income, but at least I have a clear heart."
It was like this, Lu Gu understood a little, even if Shen Xuanqing didn't fight foxes, he had already earned nearly 200 taels this year. Four hundred taels of silver were put together, and the total amount was six hundred taels of silver. The two of them had agreed that the money would not be moved unless there was a major emergency. It was the wealth they had accumulated. If he only earns two hundred taels a year, he is already very rich in the countryside, and it is nothing if he does not fight foxes.
Shen Xuanqing laughed again: "Besides, the fox is the master of nocturnal and nocturnal appearance. If you fight it at night or in the early morning, it will be dangerous if you sleep in the mountains at night, and you can rest for two years."
"Yeah." Lu Gu nodded, agreeing with this.
He has lived in the deep mountains, and the wild boar was frightened enough. Although Shen Xuanqing didn't tell him much about the beasts in the mountains, he can guess one or two points if he thinks about it. Yes, it's only right to rest at home for two years.
After it was decided that he would go up the mountain in the day after tomorrow, Lu Gu didn't sit too much, and went to the kitchen to make pancakes, and then let Shen Xuanqing's steamed buns and pancakes be eaten instead.
In the evening, the sun slanted westward. Today, Xiao Lingjun was very well-behaved. The adults only woke up 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 diaper out and put them in the wooden basin. When he came in, he saw Xiao Lingjun kicking his white and tender legs, not as fat as Zhao'er, like two slender lotus knots, he laughed all of a sudden.
It was cold, and Lu Gu quickly dressed the child. After putting on the socks, he grabbed his two little feet and kissed them. He pretended to blow air on the soft soles of his feet. When he laughed, he didn't giggle like Zhao'er now, but he would show a smile. Shen Xuanqing, who was watching, was itching beside him, grabbed his son's little hand and kissed it twice.
When wrapping in the swaddling clothes, Xiao Lingjun wriggled and twisted a few times. He was obviously unwilling. Children are like that. willing.
After playing with each other for a while, Shen Xuanqing was very happy and kissed his son's soft face again. This relative Lu Gu obviously saw Xiao Lingjun's wrinkled face, as if he was reluctant, but at this time Shen Xuanqing rose up and kissed him again.
After giving birth to the child, she was busy taking care of the child. The two never got close again. It was 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 temperament. Next to him, he didn't have much thought to give him a kiss, and so did Lu Gu.
I never thought that when I kissed it today, I found out that it was wrong, and my cheeks hurt a little after rubbing it.
He raised his eyes to look at Shen Xuanqing. I don't know when this year, Shen Xuanqing's once clean face gradually appeared green stubble. When it grows, use a short knife to shave it. It is very common for men to grow beards in their teens. Don't take it to heart, it's not just shaved the day before yesterday, and it's growing again today.
When he saw it today, the green beard was stubborn, and he suddenly felt a little different.
The man who worked all the year round was tanned, strong and tall. In the first two years, he was still young and immature. From one to twenty, the young man with a physique that was not as strong as he was still not strong enough. He went hunting, returned to farm again, and ate. The pain of suffering has gradually turned into a kind of grinding. After the green stubble appeared on the chin and face, he looked more stable than before. He has eaten and drank well for the past two years, and he has never been hungry again, and he has even gotten stronger. It's just that he's not very old, and he still lacks the precipitation of years.
Lu Gu didn't know what to say, but after thinking for a long time, he said, "Have you grown taller?"
Shen Xuanqing was bending over to play with Xiao Lingjun who was lying on the bed. Not being careful, he suddenly asked this question and said with a smile, "Is there? Why didn't I notice it."
Lu Gu was clumsy and couldn't tell the change in him. He only said, "You stand up straight."
Then he raised his hand and gestured above his head before reaching Shen Xuanqing's chest.
Shen Xuanqing raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was really tall, but his trousers were not too short, so he definitely didn't go too high.
It's nothing unusual to grow a little taller. After Lu Gu finished the gesture, he hesitated, and then quietly gestured with both hands around Shen Xuanqing's waist. He seemed to be a little stronger? Shen Xuanqing's body is full of sturdy flesh. Even if he hasn't walked around the house at night, he has seen it before, so he definitely isn't gaining weight.
Shen Xuanqing's physique is strong and slender, and his waist is thin and unrestrained. I usually don't pay attention to these slight changes, but I noticed them today.
Because he was going up the mountain, Shen Xuanqing wanted to play with his son for a while. He never wanted to see Lu Gu's move, and his starry eyes immediately smiled brightly.
Lu Gu was suddenly hugged, and slammed his head into a strong and powerful embrace. Before he could resist, he was kissed by Shen Xuanqing who bowed his head.
Brother Xiaoling is too young and it's cold recently. As long as he enters the room by closing the door and windows, no one will see him, so he is not so flustered. It's just that when Shen Xuanqing rubbed his cheeks with him as usual, the stubborn face was uncomfortable, and he leaned back and tried to avoid it.
"It's too tight," he said, frowning.
Shen Xuanqing raised his hand and touched his own green beard, it was indeed a little bit, but before letting go of Lu Gu, he still rubbed it a couple more times. If you are used to it, you will inevitably have to do it.
Lu Gu was itching and hurting, but he couldn't help laughing and was let go after struggling.
Brother Xiaoling on the bed had no one to play with him for a long time, and he screamed twice in his mouth. Seeing that he was not crying, Shen Xuanqing picked up his son and coaxed him to play.
Lu Gu rubbed his face and said, "I'll shave tomorrow, it doesn't matter to me, it's not good to hurt Linger."
Shen Xuanqing, who was about to kiss the baby, suddenly remembered that he took the child alone that day, but somehow made him cry, and he couldn't coax him for a long time. When Lu Gu saw his expression, he also remembered the wrinkled face of the child when Shen Xuanqing kissed Xiao Lingjun.
The two looked at each other, and there was still something they didn't understand.
Shen Xuanqing smiled slyly, he was not used to shaving, he was not so proficient in shaving with a short knife before, and slashed two small cuts on his cheeks. He has been lazy in the past two days. Nope, never thought it was like this.
"I just said, why don't our little Shuang'er kiss my grandfather? It hurts." He became happy again after thinking about this, and continued: "I will shave tomorrow morning."
Lu Gu raised his eyebrows beside him, his smile was shallow but his eyes were bright.
The next morning, after the sun came out, it was bright and bright. After finishing the work of feeding the livestock, Shen Xuanqing solemnly took out the bronze mirror and shaves in the courtyard.
Although the parents are affected by the body and skin, the same is true for shaving and shaving, but their village customs are slightly different. Needless to say, the hair is not to mention. However, most of the young and strong men don’t have a beard to show the momentum of youth and fitness, and they walk on the street. The more young men who have passed, the more people in the village and counties appear to be flourishing.
Before shaving, he had scribbled it once, but today Shen Xuanqing has taken a lot of care 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 extra dexterous. In that way, take the wild bath beads and rub out the foam, and with the white foam moisturizing, it is really easy to shave.
After shaving, his cheeks and chin were very smooth. He first touched it himself, thinking that he would not be afraid of piercing the child now, then put away the short knife, and happily took the bronze mirror and went back to the room.
Lu Gu was holding Lingjun to feed the milk fruit. When he saw him come in and take a look at his clean face, he suddenly smiled and said, "Wait until you're done eating."
Shen Xuanqing put the bronze mirror away and sat down beside the bed. There were no outsiders in the left and right rooms. He lowered his head and rubbed Lu Gu's cheeks first, with two points of pride in his starry eyes, and asked, "How is it?"
"It's good this time." Lu Gu said, subconsciously turning his head to look at him, but he accidentally kissed him on the cheek.
So Shen Xuanqing became more and more complacent, his eyes were full of smiles, he stole the incense twice, but he couldn't call it stealing.
