I was a hunter in ancient times

Chapter 38 Selling Geese

    The next day at Yinshi, when the stars were still twinkling in the sky, Shen Xi yawned and got up from the bed, took the lead in retying a ribbon on his right wrist, and then began to dress slowly.

After getting dressed and making the bed slowly, he held up the oil lamp and went to the courtyard in a daze, fetching water to wash.

After washing up, his mind gradually cleared up. He stroked the meals that he was going to make today, and then went to the kitchen non-stop, lighting up the oil lamps in the kitchen one by one. After washing his hands carefully, he uncovered a pot of dough that he specially distributed last night, and began to knead bit by bit.

Soon, cooking smoke slowly began to rise from the roof, and the aroma of all kinds of food kept overflowing from the small kitchen, almost driving away the night.

It was still daylight, so he prepared a bunch of food, left Shen Mu's breakfast in the pot, put the rest of the food into a mahogany food box, tidied up the kitchen, and went back to the house to get his own small box. Cloth bag and a sack of herbs, carrying the food box, went to Luo Fu's house in the village first.

Luo Fu was about to get up at this time, and as soon as Shen Xi arrived outside his house, he happened to see him coming out to wash up.

Shen Xi hurriedly said hello: "Morning, Grandpa Luo, have you finished your family's autumn harvest?

" He was a little dizzy and didn't recognize it was Shen Xi for a while, and he didn't realize it until Shen Xi came to him.

Seeing that Shen Xi was carrying a sack and a food box, he didn't need to guess why Shen Xi came to him, so he immediately replied: "I've finished my work two days ago, Xiao Xi, you are going to town Come on, wait a minute, I'll wash my face and go to the ox cart."

"Don't worry," Shen Xi hurriedly stopped him, "It's nothing urgent, Grandpa Luo, take your time, I'll go to Zhou Du first, wait Grandpa Luo, after you have breakfast, just come to Zhou Du's house to find me."

"Hey, okay." Luo Fu has dealt with Shen Xi many times, and he also knows that if he says he is not in a hurry, he is really not in a hurry, so he hastily responded.

Shen Xi left the sack filled with herbs at Luo Fu's house, and brought the food box to Zhou Du's house alone.

The small courtyard of Zhou Du's house was quiet, one could tell at a glance that he hadn't woken up yet, Shen Xi called a few times outside the door, but there was no response from inside the house.

Shen Xi was about to knock on the door, but who knew that the door would open when he touched it, he hesitated for a moment, but still walked in.

"Zhou Du, Zhou Du, are you awake?"

Shen Xi walked into the house carrying the food box, put the food box on the table, and shouted to the room where Zhou Du slept.

After waiting for a while, without waiting for an echo, he boldly went towards Zhou Du's bedroom.

As soon as he entered the door, Doubao noticed his existence, and took a head out of the quilt to look at him. After seeing that it was Shen Xi, he put his head on the quilt indifferently, and slowly woke up.

Zhou Du was lying on his side on the bed. His hair was a lot longer than when we first met him, covering his sharp eyebrows and eyes. His long eyelashes neatly stuck to his lower eyelids. With his even breathing, he didn't look sharp at all, but rather more. A little soft.

"Zhou Du, wake up."

Shen Xi's calling voice subconsciously became much softer, if they were not about to leave later, he would have found a stool to come over, just watching Zhou Du sleep like this.

A person who looks so good-looking even when he sleeps, I can't get tired of looking at him no matter what.

I really want to make him a pendant and stick to him for the rest of my life.

Maybe it was because Shen Xi's eyes were too hot, Zhou Du always felt a pair of eyes watching him in his sleep, he frowned slightly, and slowly opened his eyes.

Sure enough, there were two crescent crescent eyes looking at him.

"You're finally awake."

Seeing that Zhou Du opened his eyes, a pair of beautiful eyes were bent, Shen Xi hurriedly explained: "I called you outside the house for a long time just now, but you didn't answer. When I knocked on the door, the door opened by itself Yes, I just came in."

Zhou Du hummed, sat up slowly from the bed half propped up, lightly opened his eyelids, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "The door is specially reserved for you, so that you can call me."

Said Then he pulled off the outer shirt that was casually thrown on the quilt and put it on.

Shen Xi's heart trembled slightly, and the tails of his eyes were raised slightly, his beautiful eyes seemed to be in a great mood. While Zhou Du was getting dressed, he poured a glass of water for Zhou Du, and handed it over: "Drink some water to wake up your mind first, and then wash up, it will be better for your throat."

Zhou Du took a few sips from his dry throat Relief, indeed a lot more comfortable. Nodding towards Shenxi, she stepped out to wash up.

Shen Xi followed behind Zhou Du like a little tail, and asked, "What do you want to eat at Chaoshi? I made steamed buns, dumplings, pancakes, duck egg pancakes, and shortbread. You can choose whatever you want."

Zhou Du washed After finishing, he raised his eyebrows a little: "Why are there so many?"

Shen Xi said with a smile: "It's a long way to go to the town, and it's easy to starve on the road, so do more to be prepared, and it's cold now, and you can eat well."

Zhou Du nodded, opened the lid of the food box, and there were a few steamed buns on the top layer, and he was not picky about food, so he picked up two pads at random, even if he had finished his breakfast.

Shen Xi helped Zhou Du rearrange the bedding, took some jerky out of the bean bag's exclusive jerky jar and fed it to the bean bag, and then put some jerky in a small cloth bag for the needs on the road.

Just finished working here, Luo Fu's ox cart arrived outside, Shen Xi didn't delay, quickly put back the lid of the food box, picked up the bean bag at his feet, and told Zhou Du: "Bring one more Clothes, when you come back, it may be a little cold at night."

Zhou Du wiped his hands with a handkerchief, went back to the house, got his clothes and came out, locked the door, picked up the pair of wild geese from yesterday, and followed them into the ox cart.

Shen Xi tied a rope around Dou Bao's neck, passed the rope to Zhou Du, took out the water pouch, washed his hands, and slowly took a bun from the food box out to eat.

Seeing his movements, Zhou Du paused, and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?" Shen Xi shook his head, licking the food residue on his lips: "I have a small appetite, so I can just deal with it." Zhou Du frowned

slightly, pursing his lips

She pursed her lips and wanted to speak, but thought that what she said was not good, so she gave up, and finally said nothing.

Shen Xi didn't care about it either, and stopped eating after eating a bun. After drinking a few sips of water, he leaned on the sack containing the medicinal materials and slowly closed his eyes.

Zhou Du waited for him to fall asleep, then put the clothes he brought on him.

The next moment, as if he had sensed something, he held his clothes tightly with both hands and refused to let go.

Seeing him sleeping like this, Zhou Du twitched his eyes slightly, he still remembered that Shen Xi had once sworn to him that he slept very well.

It turned out to be as good as it gets.

The journey to the town was really a bit long, and Zhou Du and Luo Fu also chatted a few words on the way, but neither of them was a talkative person, and soon they couldn't continue talking.

When the sun came out later, Zhou Du's drowsiness was also awakened, and he leaned against Shen Xi and slowly fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, it was no surprise that Shen Xi was hugging him tightly.

Silently separated the person, put away the clothes on him, pushed the person, and said calmly: "Wake up, we're here."

Shen Xi was woken up by Zhou Du who was sleepy and rubbed his sleepy eyes , still a little confused: "Where are you?"

Zhou Du's throat rolled: "In the town."

"Oh." Shen Xi opened his eyes and saw the town sign, and after nodding his head ignorantly, he immediately came back to his senses as if thinking of something, and asked Zhou Du cautiously: "Would you like me?" Didn't do anything out of the ordinary while sleeping?"

Zhou Du raised his eyes and pursed his thin lips lightly: "Except for sleeping like a pig, everything else is fine."

Shen Xi didn't hear Zhou Du say that he didn't sleep well, The stone in my heart fell to the ground.

Immediately, he felt something was wrong again, and turned his head to look at Zhou Du angrily, how could he look like a pig!

Facing Shen Xi's anger, Zhou Du acted as if he hadn't seen it, lifted the pair of wild geese from the bullock cart, and went straight to the back door of the Zhao residence.

At the moment, a group of people were clamoring around at the back door of the Zhao Mansion.

Zhou Du walked over unhurriedly, and found that they all carried a big goose in their hands, and some of them also carried a pair of big geese in their hands, stretching their necks and squawking.

Noisily annoying.

Seeing that Zhou Du was also holding a wild goose in his hand, the group of people shook their heads and said, "Here is another one

." Immediately, someone beside him echoed, "See if we can make it right."

Immediately, someone else shook his head: "There are so many geese in the sky, how can it be done?" If the matching is successful, I think the Zhao family is just walking us for fun. If we knew this, we might as well bring the geese together." The crowing of

geese, geese, and human voices were a mess, and Zhou Du was overwhelmed by what they said In the fog, he frowned slightly.

Fortunately, Zhou Du was tall and tall, standing out from the crowd like a chicken. As soon as Zhao Rong, who was busy at the back door, saw Zhou Du, he immediately squeezed out of the crowd, and greeted him a little listlessly: "You're here."

Zhou Du was still the same, passed the wild goose unhurriedly, and said lightly: "You want the right goose."

"Okay, let me take a look first." Zhao Rong now has a headache when he hears the word wild goose, thinking of him He also entrusted Zhou Du to hunt geese, and with a smile on his face, he took the wild geese handed over by Zhou Du and took a look.

Although the wild geese brought by Zhou Du looked sullen and a bit sluggish, the two geese not only did not repel each other, but also seemed intimate, and they looked like a pair.

His face was startled, and he let out a cry.

Zhou Du raised his eyebrows: "What?"

"You really hit the geese, and they were all alive." After Zhao Rong was surprised, he immediately felt relaxed, and his attitude towards Zhou Du became quite friendly.

Zhou Du asked again: "Is there something wrong?"

"No," Zhao Rong immediately denied, "That's right, what this marriage requires are wild geese in pairs like you, you can be regarded as solving a big problem for me. Trouble."

Zhao Rong asked the servants in the mansion to send the pair of geese brought by Zhou Du back to the mansion, and went to talk to a group of people crowded at the back door one by one, and those people all looked at Zhou Du after listening, and said in surprise: "Really let him meet a dead mouse for a blind cat?"

Others don't know Zhou Du, but Zhao Rong knows Zhou Du. This young man is good-looking, and his skills are also first-class. He is also a hunter, and he said with a smile: "Maybe he is good at it."

"Okay, we are not as skilled as others." Those people laughed bitterly after hearing this, and raised their hands to leave.

Zhao Rong is used to doing personnel affairs, in order to appease public grievances, everyone gave one copper coin hard-earned money one by one.

After everyone took the money, the unhappiness in their hearts disappeared, and they all left with their belongings.

Shen Xi came late, and when he heard the murmurs of these people who had gone away, he couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "What are they talking about, why am I confused."

Zhou Du shook his head, but he didn't know either.

After Zhao Rong finished dealing with the matter, Shen Xi curiously explained: "It's like this, isn't there a distinguished guest from our house who wants to propose a marriage with a wild goose?"

Shen Xi nodded.

Zhao Rong also had a bitter face when he talked about this matter: "But he didn't make it clear, he only said that he wanted wild geese. We servants also obeyed orders. As a result, the hunters hunted wild geese, and he said that he wanted this wild goose. They are in pairs, the wild geese are flying in the sky, it is difficult for ordinary people to hunt, let alone they are a pair."

Shen Xi nodded again, Zhou Du was beside him when he was hunting, and the wild goose whizzed. They flew away in one fell swoop, not to mention catching a pair, it would be difficult to catch one.

Ordinary wealthy families just use wild geese to go through the motions, and don't require them to be in pairs, anyway, they will let them fly after they get married.

"No way, I have to ask all the hunters to wait here to see if their geese can be paired together." In the end, Zhao Rong only came up with this stupid method.

Shen Xi was a little curious and asked again: "What if we really can't make a pair?"

"Then I can only use geese instead, but I will inevitably be punished by the master. Fortunately, you have come to solve my urgent need." Zhao Rong He shook his head as he said, it's not easy to be a housekeeper.

Shen Xi understood, no wonder he saw many people carrying geese just now, it turned out to be like this.

Zhao Rong was grateful to Zhou Du for solving his urgent need, and generously gave Zhou Du thirty taels of silver, and turned to look at Shen Xi at the side.

He felt that this pair of people were really his lucky stars, and they helped resolve his two crises.

The literati all said that if you give plums and repay them with peaches, you will not lose your blessings. After thinking about it, you said to Shenxi: "It just so happens that the guest is going to hold a wedding banquet in a few days and is looking for a cook. I don't know if you are free, if you can satisfy that distinguished guest, the price will not be lower than the last birthday banquet."

Shen Xi didn't expect such a good thing to happen just by accompanying Zhou Du to sell wild geese, he was slightly moved by the lack of money , but when he thought of such a big event as the wedding banquet, he would have to work in the town for a few more days, and he was a little uncertain for a while, so he asked Zhou Du who was beside him: "Do you agree with me to accept this wedding banquet?"

Zhou Du thought of the last time Shen Xi held a birthday banquet for the Zhao Mansion, and was so tired that even touching his hand in his sleep made him cry of pain, and said without expression: "If you want to pick it up, I'm not the one who's tired anyway."
