Cannon fodder Gong Just Wants To Take The Imperial Examination [MTL]

Chapter 19

Shen Chenyu said that if he went up the mountain, he would go up the mountain, and he set off before dawn the next day. Although Mu Linting can move freely like ordinary people even if he is blind, but the mountains are different from the flat land after all, so Shen Chenyu didn't let him go with him.

Shen Chenyu met many villagers along the way, most of them went up the mountain to dig spring bamboo shoots or collect firewood. When everyone saw Shen Chenyu, they were going up the mountain too, chatting enthusiastically with Shen Chenyu along the way.

Seeing that Shen Chenyu was carrying a bow and arrow, an aunt couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Mr. Shen, are you going to go hunting in the mountains?" The reason why the

other party was so surprised was mainly because Shen Chenyu was so young He is gentle and gentle, not at all like a person who can go hunting in the mountains.

This aunt has a good relationship with Shen Liushi. Seeing that Shen Chenyu nodded after listening to her words, she immediately continued with a little worry: "That... Xiaolang of the Shen family, don't think that aunt is meddling in other things, she is also doing it for you For the sake of your mother. Although there are many good things in this mountain, there are also hidden dangers that cannot be described. It is better not to enter the mountain as a scholar."

Shen Chenyu is not angry when the other party underestimates him, because he knows the other party It's kind of you to say that. He showed a good-tempered smile at Auntie, then he raised his finger and pointed to a place not far in front.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'll just turn around not far ahead, and I won't really go into the mountains. And... don't look at my thin arms and legs, in fact, I am very good at using bows and arrows It 's gone."

Shen Chenyu said like this, as if she was still worried that Auntie would not believe his words, so she raised her hand and shot a bird from the tree with an arrow.

Shen Chenyu's movements were fast and skilled, the aunt didn't even see his movements clearly, she saw a bird with an arrow fall down.

Now Auntie couldn't say anything, she just looked at the bird enviously, and kept praising Shen Yu's archery skills.

After separating from the aunt, Shen Chenyu stretched out her hands and beat her sore legs before continuing to walk into the mountain.

Shen Chenyu's current height is about 1.8 meters. In ancient times when the general height was relatively short, his height was considered very tall.

But when he walked into the dense forest in front of him, he looked very petite against the backdrop of all kinds of towering trees around him.

Especially now that the sky is just slightly bright, and the dense forest is full of mist. The sun in the morning at the end of winter, as if washed out repeatedly, is trying to penetrate the dense forest with very weak light.

Shen Chenyu didn't take a few steps, her hair and clothes were already wet. He is hesitating whether to turn back now, although he really wants to hunt some prey to sell for money, but if he catches the wind and cold because of this, it will be a big loss.

In addition, in such a humid environment, he was very worried that the insect repellant on his body would fail. After all, compared with the beasts that can be seen and guarded against, those invisible poisonous insects, snakes and ants are more dangerous.

Although there are fewer poisonous insects, snakes and ants in winter, there are everything in this kind of mountain, so it is better for him to be careful because he is so afraid of death.

Just when Shen Chenyu was about to return the same way, a dusty shadow was suddenly glimpsed out of the corner of her eye. Before Shen Chenyu's brain could react, her body picked up the bow and arrow and aimed at the shadow.

When Shen Chenyu saw clearly what it was, he couldn't help showing a hint of surprise in his eyes, because his arrow hit a gray rabbit.

The gray rabbit looked gray, and it didn't look like much meat when you picked it up. But Shen Chenyu was lucky to be able to hunt prey after the snow disaster.

Although Shen Chenyu went up the mountain on the grounds of hunting, but because he knew that many animals in the mountain were frozen to death after a snow disaster, he didn't expect to hunt any prey. Now he can catch a bird and a rabbit, which is already a surprise to Shen Chenyu.

Because the rabbits and birds were dead, they smelled more or less bloody. In order not to attract any large beasts, Shen Chenyu simply cleaned up and walked back.

Just when Shen Chenyu walked to the place where she was separated from the aunt, she saw a young boy in scanty clothes from a distance. On the rugged mountain road.

Seeing this, Shen Chenyu walked over strangely, wanting to ask him which family's child he was from in Xiling Village, but ran away suddenly before he could get close to the other party.

While running forward in a hurry, the little boy bared his teeth and growled at him, like a wild beast warning the enemy.

Seeing this, Shen Chenyu hurriedly stopped. He remembered what Shen Liushi had told him before, telling him to stay away from that crazy kid in the village, saying that that kid would bite when he was crazy. Shen Chenyu looked at the back of the little boy going away, this little boy should be that crazy boy.

I heard that when Xiling Village met bandits, this crazy boy put in a lot of effort. Because he was as fierce and ruthless as a beast, he bought more time for Xiling Village.

Although Shen Chenyu sympathizes with this child a little, but no one's family is having a hard time these days. If he was nice to the crazy boy for no reason, other people in Xiling Village would definitely have a problem in their hearts.

Because of a snowstorm that has just been experienced, most people are having a hard time nowadays. If he had extra food to raise a lunatic, some people from poor families would follow suit. So Shen Chenyu just looked at him, then raised his feet and continued to walk down the mountain.

When Shen Chenyu returned home with her prey, she found that someone had come to their yard. Shen Liushi was holding the little meat bun and frowning, it seemed that the relationship with the visitor was not very good.

Seeing this, Shen Chenyu first put the basket on her body into the kitchen, and then walked towards Shen Liushi unhurriedly. Only then did Shen Chenyu see clearly that he had seen these two people in the yard before.

Among them, the older woman is Uncle Shen's wife, also his uncle's mother. Another boy who looked fifteen or sixteen years old had a very bright red cinnabar mole between his eyebrows. He was the spoiled and willful elder brother of the Shen family.

When Shen Chenyu and Shen Liushi first came to Xiling Village, they saw the mother and son at the door of their house. But at that time, the Shen family members were all there, so the mother and son did not make things difficult for Shen Chenyu.

At this time, the mother and son were staring at him intently. Shen Chenyu didn't like the feeling of being stared at closely, which gave him a very uneducated and rude feeling.

Aunt Shen's family is not pretty, but because her life is better than Shen Liu's, she looks much more energetic than Shen Liu's.

In particular, she still wears a silver hairpin on her head, which is considered a very extravagant show for a farmer from a farming family.

Before Shen Chenyu could speak, the elder brother who was standing next to the Shen family's aunt spoke impatiently.

"Grandma said that life in the second room is not easy, so let us send some food. We have worked so hard to bring the things, and you don't invite us in?" When the

little brother spoke, there was a sense of accent. It seems that he is deliberately imitating the speech of other ladies, but because he has never seen a real lady, he has a funny feeling of parroting his tongue.

Shen Chenyu didn't have a good impression of this little brother because she had read the novel. At this time, seeing his stupid and unaware appearance, and feeling that this child is like the elementary school chicken of later generations, for some reason, he didn't feel so annoying.

Shen Liushi glanced at Shen Chenyu when she heard the words. If the other party had said this before, with her and Shen's second honest character, she probably would have let them into the room long ago.

But now that Shen Chenyu is back, more than half of this house was built by Shen Chenyu, and Shen Liushi subconsciously wants him to be the master.

Sensing Shen Liushi's gaze, Shen Chenyu sighed in her heart that Shen Liushi's character was too soft, and at the same time motioned Shen Liushi to take the child in first. Although the beginning of spring is coming soon, the weather is still very cold now, so children should not stay outside for too long.

When Shen Liushi went in with the children in her arms, Shen Chenyu didn't mean to let them in. Although they are not vicious, they have a bit of a bitter personality.

Such people say that they are bad, but it seems that they are not bad. But to say that they are good people, sometimes they are very talkative. This kind of people is actually very annoying, Shen Chenyu didn't have time to deal with them, so she thanked her uncle and sent them out of the door.

Because Shen Chenyu was polite the whole time, and he had a confusing face. Even if they were kicked out by Shen Chenyu, they were too embarrassed to quarrel with each other.

After Shen Chenyu sent the other two away, she looked back at the grain in the yard. Although he didn't like Aunt Shen and the younger brother, the food was delivered by Aunt Shen, so he still had to go to Dafang to show it a little bit.

Because Shen Chenyu came back from hunting prey on the mountain, Shen Liushi had a good meal at noon. Originally, Shen Liu wanted Shen Chenyu to sell the prey for money, but unfortunately the two prey didn't have much meat on them, so it wasn't worth going to the town for this little thing.

The rabbit was stewed in a pot by Shen Liu, and the bird was given to Grandma Shen by Shen Chenyu. As for whether Grandma Shen ate the meat herself, or whether she gave it to the people in the eldest room, Shen Chenyu didn't care much about it. He has no relationship with the people here. In addition to establishing a good image, what is more important is to pave the way for future studies and imperial examinations.

Scholars are most concerned about reputation, especially in terms of filial piety, the requirements are even stricter than ordinary people. The original owner's reputation was not very good before, but fortunately Shen Chenyu is no longer in Qingcheng County, so he can take his time if he wants to gain a good reputation.

In the next few days, Shen Chenyu went up the mountain twice more. His luck these two times was not good, and he didn't catch any prey. Originally, he wanted to earn a little money from hunting, and then use this little money as the capital of his business. It seems that such an idea is a bit too naive.

This morning, Shen Chenyu planned to go up the mountain again. This time he was not hunting, but went to the bamboo forest halfway up the mountain to dig spring bamboo shoots.

When he went to fetch water yesterday afternoon, he heard people in the village say that the spring bamboo shoots on the mountain were edible, and asked everyone to dig more while the spring bamboo shoots were fresh and tender, and the taste would not be as good after a while.

The pickled bamboo shoots made by Shen Liu's taste very good. The neighbors came over to ask her to help pickle them. It seems that Shen Liu's pickled spring bamboo shoots must be good.

Just when Shen Chenyu was thinking about the taste of pickled bamboo shoots, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the halfway up the mountain. He subconsciously raised his head and glanced forward, and then he was stopped by a passing man and ran away.
