MTL - The Sweet Little Fulang-Chapter 23

Early in the morning, Lu Gu used his busyness to avoid Shen Xuanqing, and was hugged and slept all night. When he woke up in the morning, Shen Xuanqing let go of him, but he couldn't be so calm.

Originally thought that Shen Xuanqing would bring the dog into the mountain after eating and drinking, but he didn't think that he would not go today, the tall young man picked up a long machete and said, "There is a bamboo forest not far from here, I will chop some bamboo. Come back to make a bamboo cage, do you want to go?"

His eyes were full of anticipation, and he didn't leave after he finished speaking. He obviously wanted to go together. No matter how smart Lu Gu was, he could still see this. He hesitated and nodded.

Shen Xuanqing breathed a sigh of relief, he knew about Lu Gu's movement last night, the movement of the people in his arms was so obvious, it was impossible for him not to wake up, but out of some selfishness, he pretended to fall asleep and didn't let go, the tenderness in his arms allowed him to A good night's sleep.

Lu Gu carried a diabolo basket with a hatchet in it, and Shen Xuanqing carried a machete and hemp rope. Although they were in the mountains, they still locked the door.

The dog trotted through the woods, sniffing everywhere, and occasionally raised its hind legs to urinate against the roots of the tree to mark it.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Lu Gu saw the dark green bamboo forest in front of him. Shen Xuanqing said that there are autumn bamboo shoots in it, which are not as crisp and tender as spring bamboo shoots, but they can be stewed with fat head dove in old soup, and they can also be blanched in water to make pickles, but The two of them only have a jar of pickled vegetables. They haven't finished eating, so they don't need to pickle them now.

So after arriving at the place, Shen Xuanqing went to chop bamboo by himself. He was looking for bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. Seeing him walking aside, Da Hui also followed. The two small dogs spread out in the forest and found a pothole or something. Just planing, sometimes tilting his head and ears, looking very alert.

When they dispersed, they were always where Shen Xuanqing could see. As for Lu Gu, the bamboo forest was deeper and quieter than the mountain in front of him. He didn't go far, and when he turned his head, he could see Shen Xuanqing and hear the chopping. The movement of bamboo.

The autumn bamboo shoots are quite big. He held the hatchet and chopped them hard several times before breaking them off. Since they were only stewed in old soup, one large autumn bamboo shoots was enough, and he could cut a lot of them. Still cut two.

He wrote down the path to the bamboo forest, and when he made autumn bamboo shoots in the future, he could come and find it himself.

Changzhu fell, making a dull wind sound in the air, Lu Gu walked over with the bamboo basket on his back, and whispered to Shen Xuanqing who was looking at him: "I saw fungi outside when I came in, I was looking for something to eat. "

Shen Xuanqing didn't respond, and said, "You shout loudly and let it follow you."

Bringing a dog in the mountains is a reassuring thing. After Lu Gu listened to him, Da Hui followed him after shouting.

Someone in the village died after eating poisonous fungi. It happened when he was a child. Lu Gu always remembered it, so he only dared to pick what he knew.

He was lucky today. He found a cluster of xanthoderma. The mushrooms were so big that they could stir fry half a bowl, let alone several in this nest.

Looking under the tree, he could still hear the sound of bamboo being chopped, and he would look back from time to time, afraid that he would not be able to see the bamboo forest if he walked too far.

For unfamiliar mountains and forests, it is always good to be careful, otherwise, if you stray into the dense forest, you will be surrounded by trees, and you will not be able to tell the direction, let alone go out.

Some fungi looked good on the surface, but when he picked them up and saw that they were gnawed by insects and ants under the canopy, he threw them away.

I walked all the way to find it. Maybe there are few people in the deep mountains, and the fungus has not been spoiled. I asked him to find a lot. If I can’t finish eating it in two days, I can still dry it and save it for late autumn and winter. I am not afraid of picking more. .

When he realized that he couldn't hear the sound of chopping bamboo, he hurriedly called Da Hui to go back.

Before entering the bamboo forest, he saw Shen Xuanqing come out. When he came back, his expression was not so bad, and he said, "I was about to call you."

Looking for someone in the mountains can only be done by shouting. Lu Gu brought a dog again. Big gray ears were sharper than people's, and he followed the voice with a bark.

Lu Gu said quickly: "I didn't pay attention when I was looking for the fungus, and I walked away."

Afraid of being blamed, he also showed the bamboo basket to Shen Xuanqing, carefully asking for credit.

Shen Xuanqing glanced at the bacteria in the basket, and there were quite a few. Seeing Lu Gu's fear, his face became more relaxed, and he said, "Well, it's fine, the bamboo has been chopped, and I'll tie it up and drag it back."

If there was no reprimand, Lu Gu felt a little at ease, carried the bamboo basket on his back and entered the bamboo forest with Shen Xuanqing.

The weight of the six long bamboos is really not light. Shen Xuanqing tied the bamboos together with hemp ropes, carried the bamboo roots on his shoulders, and dragged the bamboo body on the ground. .

Of course, this was for him. If it was Lu Gu, it would be hard enough to carry two bamboos. The wet green bamboo that was just cut was so tall, it was really not that light.

Before they came out of the bamboo forest, the two small dogs slashed on the ground for a while, and then they took the big bamboo rat out of the hole. Xuan Qing scolded, and the gray and white fine dog let go, and the black dog took it back.

On the way back, Lu Gu looked at the wormwood in the wild. When he was in the Lu family, Du Hehua bought a cloth head and colorful embroidery thread and asked him to make a sachet and medicine bag. No matter the sachet or the medicine bag, he would put some wormwood leaves in it.

That day, when Wei Lanxiang was buying colored thread, he thought a little bit. When his mother was there, he had a good hand in embroidery. The mother had some money in her hand at that time, so that he could have a good life for a few days when he was a child.

His mother left early, so that he didn't learn all about embroidery, but he still had some points. Embroidering a medicine bag was not a problem, but he didn't have a single copper plate, no money to buy cloth heads and embroidery threads, and no medicinal materials.

He didn't have the guts to ask the Shen family for money, but after seeing the red wolfberry covered with twigs, his heart moved slightly and he had an idea.

Even if the wolfberry is cheap, it is still money if you sell more, and there are many good things in the mountains. As long as you work hard to find them, you can always find some to sell for money.

If he really can sell it for money, even if he doesn't buy the cloth head color thread, at least it will make Shen Xuanqing happier. Maybe he can even give him a few copper coins, so that he will have money.

Thinking of this, Lu Gu quietly glanced at Shen Xuanqing who was walking in front with the bamboo on his back.

He is timid and stupid and has no idea, but he has a little selfishness in his heart. He knows that Shen Xuanqing is a good person. If not, he would not take the initiative to make money, otherwise he would be like Du Hehua and take all the money away. Now, he doesn't even have a single copper plate.

He made plans in his own heart, and didn't dare to make a sound, only paying attention to what was going on on the way back.

When he reached the open space outside the courtyard, Shen Xuanqing threw the heavy green bamboo on his shoulders on the ground, and turned his shoulders a few times before opening the lock.

The black dog put the killed bamboo rat on the ground, barked several times, and motioned to help it roast delicious meat, but Shen Xuanqing ignored it, opened the door, unloaded the bamboo basket from Lu Gu's back and carried it in.

"I went to the river to kill birds. There is a medicine stove in the low house. You can look for it. I will use that to cook the old soup later." When he died, he just got a meaty meal to eat.

Lu Gu naturally agreed, and according to his words, he looked around in the low house and found the medicine stove covered with a thick layer of ash.

This was used by the old hunter in the past. Shen Xuan was young and strong. He had not been sick a few times in recent years. Occasionally, he had typhoid fever and took a bowl of **** soup to carry it, and the medicine stove was basically useless.

It takes a long time to stew the old soup, and you can't eat it at noon, and you can't be occupied by the stew in the big pot to cook. Fortunately, there is this thing.

The two of them were busy, and the morning passed like this. After dinner, Shen Xuanqing was cutting bamboo outside the courtyard. The open space outside was large and spacious. He sat on the stool, thinking of the hemp-tailed bamboo chicken, and said to Lu Gu who had finished cleaning up the kitchen. Said: "Look at how the bamboo chicken is, chop the chicken grass and see if it is eaten."

Lu Gu went to the backyard to see. Last night, Shen Xuanqing applied herbs to the injured wings of the bamboo chicken, so that it could live for a few days without purulent and smelly. He even got some chicken grass when he woke up early.

Seeing that the chicken grass was less, Bamboo Chicken cooed a few times when he saw people coming, and hid in the corner, Lu Gu knew that it was all right.

"Eat the chicken grass, it will bark." He whispered to Shen Xuanqing outside the hospital, and he didn't leave after he finished speaking, and he seemed to have something to say.

The yard faces south, and the sun is very bright in front of the house. Shen Xuanqing noticed his hesitation, looked up at him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Gu said in a low voice, "I, I want to boil water and wash my hair."

There is no reason for him to be so timid. He will be scolded if he spends more firewood in the Lu family. Although the Shen family has not treated him badly, they should be careful and let them know what to do. Only after they have agreed, can he feel more at ease, otherwise Shen Xuan Qing was working, but he was taking a bath.

Shen Xuanqing paused before saying, "Just burn it, enough water and enough firewood."

At the end he whispered again, "You can do whatever you want, you don't have to meet me outside."

Lu Gu was stunned by these words, and in the end, his eyes were full of gratitude, and he replied in a low voice, "Okay."

—

The moon sets and the sun rises in a continuous cycle, and a few days pass by in the blink of an eye.

Lu Gu gradually became accustomed to the days in the mountains. During the day, Shen Xuanqing took the dog out to hunt. He cooked and waited. In his spare time, he worked to weave bamboo cages. Taking advantage of the good weather in the past few days, he also took off the bedding and washed it.

In the past two days, he has been breaking wolfberry branches in the wild grass outside. The grass in the mountains is tall and dirty, and he will inevitably come back with a whole body of dust.

The embarrassment that night made him learn to be obedient. He boiled water and scrubbed while Shen Xuanqing was away during the day, and there was sun in the noon, so he was not afraid of the cold after washing his hair.

Shen Xuanqing scrubbed diligently, so that he did not dare to get dirty.

Just after noon, before Shen Shitian, the sky changed. The dark clouds gathered and covered the sun. The sky was gray. Lu Gu was looking out the door. Not long after he heard a dog barking in the distance, he knew that Shen Xuanqing was back. .

Fortunately, I came back early today. After dinner, it started to rain. The rain was not small, and it hit the eaves and ground.

Bamboo chickens were rushed to the firewood house to take shelter from the rain, and the rabbit cage was also inside, so that the wolfberry fruit had already been collected, and there was nothing to be drenched in the yard. Lu Gu was idle and had nothing to do. Before it was dark, he sat on the side of the hall Listening to the rain while weaving bamboo baskets, there is no main room in the room, and he is reluctant to light the oil lamp, so he can only sit here.

As for Shen Xuanqing, he found that Lu Gu had the clean smell of wild bath beads on his body today, and he obviously washed it. He didn't want to get dirty in front of his husband, and he lost face. He burned water and was washing in the kitchen right now.

After the head and body were all dry, the kitchen door opened. Lu Gu raised his head subconsciously when he heard the movement, and saw Shen Xuanqing take a long leg and ran in a few steps from the rain.

He stopped what he was doing, and he didn't know what to say for a few moments, and he didn't dare to look into Shen Xuanqing's eyes, so he lowered his head.

Shen Xuanqing wasn't annoyed either. He went out early and returned late these days. Only at night can he hold Lu Gu after he fell asleep. He came back early today to allow him to stay with his husband for a while, and it was too late to be happy.
