I was a hunter in ancient times

Chapter 29 Returning to the Village

    The ox cart drove slowly towards Taoyuan Village, halfway through it was dark, the oil-paper lantern Zhou Du bought came in handy, and they entered Taoyuan Village with the lanterns on.

Taoyuan Village, which was supposed to be peaceful, is now brightly lit.

Villagers holding pine cone torches stood everywhere in the field, illuminating the whole Taoyuan Village brightly.

Zhou Du and Shen Xi looked at each other, neither of them understood what happened.

The ox cart stopped at Zhou Du's house, unloaded the goods, Shenxi paid the money for the little brother who drove the ox cart, and asked a nearby villager without delay.

After Zhou Du packed up the pile of miscellaneous things he bought and lit the whole house with oil lamps, Shen Xi brought a villager over.

"What?" Zhou Du put away the last oil lamp in his hand, turned around and asked.

The farmer next to Shen Xi was the first to explain: "Isn't it about to enter the autumn harvest? The wild boars in the mountains have started to go down the mountain to grab food. A few days ago, the potatoes grown in Wu's and Li's fields were all picked up by wild boars. The big guys were afraid that the wild boar would come and harm the crops, so they organized themselves and sent people to guard them day and night."

Zhou Du understood.

The man held up the torch and said to Zhou Du: "Thank you for coming up with the idea of ​​using this pine cone as a torch, which saved the village a lot of money. I'll come and thank you on behalf of the village."

Zhou Du refused: " No need."

He didn't come up with using pine cones to make torches, he had seen others do it before, and he just followed suit, not to mention that he also used pine cones to change his household registration, which is not a loss.

Zhou Du's indifferent attitude made the man a little at a loss.

Shen Xi immediately said: "Brother Zhang Jin, Zhou Du's personality is just like this, he has no malicious intentions, so don't worry about it."

After finishing speaking, he changed the topic again and changed the subject: "Brother Zhang Jin, didn't you say you came to see Zhou Du for something, talk about it now.

" : "It's like this. The big guy thinks it's not a problem to keep guarding like this every day. Besides, the wild boar has gone down the mountain this year. If it is not resolved, it will go down the mountain next year. We farmers, relying on the land for food, are struggling like this year after year. What? Time is the end."

Hearing this, Zhou Du knew the purpose of his coming to find him, but he didn't interrupt him.

"Everyone in the village knows that you are a hunter. You have hunted wild boars and goats before, so I want to ask you for help," Zhang Jin said a lot, but Zhou Du didn't see any reaction. He softened a lot, "Don't worry, you are now settled in our Taoyuan Village, and you can be regarded as a member of our Taoyuan Village. People in the village will not treat you badly, and there will be thank you afterwards. You."

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Du slightly uneasy.

There was still no expression on Zhou Du's face, he just hummed lightly.

Zhang Jin was surprised, what does this mean?

Before he could ask aloud, Shen Xi tugged at his sleeve: "Brother Zhang Jin, Zhou Du agreed."

Zhang Jin was in a daze: "Agreed with...?"

After talking for so long, Zhou Du's attitude continued. Not at all, he thought Zhou Du would not agree, after all what he was going to face was not a wild boar, but a herd of wild boars, and many old hunters in other villages were terrified when they heard this, let alone Zhou Du.

"Yes," Shen Xi nodded and smiled, "Zhou Du's personality is a bit cold, but he's a nice person."

"Then I'll leave it to you," Zhang Jin nodded in agreement, and smiled at Zhou Du Very simple and honest: "Thank you, you are so kind."

Zhou Du raised his eyebrows, is this considered a good person?

Pursing his lips, he said bluntly: "You're welcome, I'm just looking at you so stupid, don't let the wild boar not scare away, but burn the crops instead..." Before

Zhou Du finished speaking, Shen Xi stepped on the ground and used Covering Zhou Du's lips with his hand, he turned to Zhang Jin and said, "Brother Zhang Jin, you have nothing to do here, go back and look at the crops."

Zhang Jin was confused by Zhou Du's words, and his head turned a little But turning around, hearing what Shen Xi said, he thought that he had been away from the field for a long time, if the wild boar went down the mountain, the crops in the field would be saved, and he went back with a torch.

Zhou Du felt the warm palm attached to his lips, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Shen Xi waited until Zhang Jin walked away, then came back to his senses, and blinked at Zhou Du.

The red mole on the end of his eye also danced along with it, so beautiful that he couldn't move his eyes away.

"You said that on purpose just now," Shen Xi looked at Zhou Du and affirmed, and then asked as if he had noticed something, "Is it true that whenever someone shows you good things, you will say something bad If you don't , push them away, make people hate you and stay away from you."

"Why don't you talk anymore." Shen Xi kept looking into Zhou Du's eyes, but he didn't see his answer, and asked again.

Zhou Du's gaze moved down, and Shen Xi also moved down.

Only then did he realize that his palm was still covering Zhou Du's lips, and his cheeks burned instantly. He quickly put down his hand and apologized, "I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean it."

Zhou Du ignored him, turned around and was about to back to the house.

Shen Xi asked again behind his back: "Did I hit the mark just now?"

"No," Zhou Du stopped, and said indifferently: "You think too much."

Shen Xi opened his mouth, wanting to say something else .

"Also," Zhou Du said again, "You didn't wash your hands just now."

Shen Xi stretched out his palm and looked at it, and sure enough, there was still a little dust left on his hand from moving things. How could he remember anything else now? He froze in place as if struck by lightning.

"I, me, me..." Shen Xi stammered so much that he didn't know what to say, why did he touch Zhou Du's impeccable face with his little dirty hands? !

Zhou Du took a lantern from the house and handed it to Shen Xi: "You should go back."

Shen Xi took the lantern in a daze, raised his eyes to see the faint marks on Zhou Du's lips, thought for a while, and took out a handkerchief from his arms , standing on tiptoe, carefully wiped Zhou Du clean.

"I'll pick up my things tomorrow," Shen Xi said after cleaning up for Zhou Du and ran away, "And I will definitely remember to wash my hands next time!"

And next time?

Zhou Du touched the lip that Shen Xi had just touched with his fingertips, and closed his eyes weakly.

After agreeing to the affairs of the villagers of Taoyuan Village, Zhou Du didn't shy away from it, and spent the next few days wandering around Lushan Mountain with bean bags, looking for pigs.

Wild boars, a herd animal, will leave traces of pigs in the area they have moved, or footprints or feces, or traces after gnawing. You can touch them by following these traces.

It may be because of the rain a few days ago, the pig tracks were washed away by the rain, and the situation of wild boars descending the mountain has not reappeared these days, and it is difficult for Zhou Du to find them for a while.

Just have to wait for them to reappear.

Zhou Du couldn't find any wild boars around Fen Mountain, so he went to the deep forest lake where the wild boars were hunted last time. He wasn't sure if it was the same group of wild boars, so he wanted to go and verify.

I don't know if they were frightened by the hunting by the lake last time. Zhou Du searched around the lake but couldn't find any new traces of pigs, so he had to stop and go back.

"Quack~quack~quack..."

Zhou Du was about to leave when a rough and ugly cry came from his ears, and there was a hint of joy mixed with it.

Zhou Du paused as he was about to leave.

Tired of eating pheasant and hare, it's not bad to change the taste occasionally.

The bow and arrow that had been carried on his back silently reached his hands, and the arrows followed closely behind and were ready.

There were a lot of weeds growing near the lake, Zhou Du couldn't quite see where the wild ducks were, so he could only listen to the sounds.

He concentrated and listened.

The little bean bun at his feet seemed to have noticed something, and his small body sneaked into the weeds, touched the place where the wild ducks nested, and let out a wolf howl in a childish voice: "Wow!"

The wild duck in the grass They were frightened by the sudden sound, and hurriedly flapped their wings and flew out of the grass.

As soon as they appeared, they were locked on by Zhou Du, and the three arrows in his hand fired consecutively like afterimages, and knocked down three wild ducks accurately.

"Dong dong dong."

Three wild ducks fell into the water, making the splashing sound.

The other wild ducks had already flown away at this instant, Zhou Du put away his bow and arrow, looked at the three wild ducks with his arrows in the lake, and fell silent.

"Bean buns." Zhou Du called out to the wolf cubs.

The wolf cub came out of the grass, licked his tongue and looked at Zhou Du.

"You've done a good job, you have to deal with it." Zhou Du was not confused by its movements, walked to the edge of the lake, and kicked it into the lake.

"Aww." The wolf cub who was suddenly kicked into the lake had a lot of water poured into its mouth, and choked several times when it came out of the water before shaking off the water droplets on its body.

Seeing that it didn't understand what he meant, Zhou Du raised his foot to kick it again.

This time the bean bag didn't let him succeed, and with a howl, before Zhoudu's toes touched it, it flew into the water and swam to the place where the three ducks shot down.

Then he took a duck in his mouth and swam back to the shore with great difficulty.

Zhou Du looked at the lost and recovered arrow, bowed and rubbed Doubao's small round head in satisfaction: "Not bad."

The whole wolf was excited when Doubao was praised, and after recovering a little bit of strength, he licked the remaining two wild ducks. He was carried back to the shore, sat wet on the ground and wagged his tail, waiting for Zhoudu's reward.

"Going home." Zhou Du put away the arrows, lifted the wild duck, glanced at him, and left.

Doubao had no choice but to shake off the water droplets on his body, kicking his short legs to follow Zhoudu's pace.

When I went out, the bean bag with soft and shiny hair came home and turned into a wolf in the water, covered with dust and grass.

Standing at the gate of Zhou Du's house waiting for them, Shen Xi's eyes widened when he saw the bean bag: "What's wrong with it?"

Zhou Du looked back at the poor bean bag, put down the wild duck in his hand, and didn't take his eyes off. After a blink, he said: "It fell into the water."

"Oh~" Seeing that Zhou Du put down the duck, Shen Xi didn't understand anything, so he responded speciously, feeling that Doubao is really pitiful, following such a master.

Zhou Du ignored him and asked, "What are you doing at my house?"

While cleaning the grass clippings from Doubao's body, Shen Xi brushed its hair, and replied, "Wait for you."

Before Zhou Du asked what he was waiting for, Shen Xi picked up Doubao and walked to the edge of the well, After fetching a basin of water, he squatted down and cleaned it slowly with a handkerchief, and pursed his lips lightly.

"It's still small, it's not okay to be wet like this, it's easy to get sick, I'll clean it up first, and wipe it clean." Seeing that Zhou Du didn't continue to question, Shen Xi took the initiative to explain something, and said in a discussing tone: " You go into the room, take off your clothes and wait for me for a while, after I finish cleaning it and clean my hands, can you help me?"

Zhou Du paused, his face flushed slightly: "It's not very good."

Shen Xi asked: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Du thought for a while, and said, "It's too much trouble for you."
