The reason why Shen Xuanqing bought chickens and ducks was that after Shen Xuanqing left, Lu Gu was alone in the mountains without anyone to talk to. In addition, the bamboo chickens laid eggs that day, which made him felt that if he raised chickens in the mountains to lay eggs, There was no need to bring eggs from home every time.

The mountain road was far away, and the eggs had to be carefully guarded. It would be a pity if they were broken. He used to run alone in the mountains and forests and couldn't serve the chickens and ducks. Now it was different with Lu Gu.

There were chickens and ducks cooing and quacking in the yard, it would be more lively, and it wouldn't be deep and lonely. Besides, he himself loved to eat eggs. Although the autumn chicks wouldn't lay eggs until the beginning of next spring, it was better to buy them early and raisd them. Next year, they could eat it earlier, and when they got tired of eating fish and poultry in the mountains, they could also feed Lu Gu a bowl of custard.

Today when he went to the market in the town, Shen Xuanqing not only looked for chickens and ducks, but also looked at the puppies, but because he wanted a mastiff with a good appearance, he couldn't pick one for a long time. he had no choice but to come back and ask Shen Yaoqing and other people in the village to help inquired about where there is mastiff puppies for sale. It was best to be like Dahui, which was more humane and more powerful than ordinary dogs. Take it to the mountains so you could also rest assured.

He also wanted to buy a dog for Lu Gu since Dahui went to hunt with him. If he only caught rabbits, he would let Dahui stay with Lu Gu. If he gave Lu Gu a dog, he wouldn't worry too much after he left.

The village next door was not too far away, and Meng Dayue would greet people from several nearby villages every time before slaughtering a pig, so there were quite a lot of people on the way to the village next door.

Meng Dayue didn't kill pigs every day. If it was short, every six days, if it was long, he killed pigs once in a half months. Because he was close to here, he didn't need to go to the town to buy them. People in several villages only needed to hear that he slaughtered pigs and they would buy some meat.

When Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing arrived, the two pieces of pork had just been pierced with iron hooks, and they were picked up and hung on the wooden frame.

There were quite a few people who bought it. Because Shen Xuanqing wanted more meat, he cut it first. Meat with fat was expensive. He asked for ten catties, another five catties of hind leg meat, and two big bones.


He knew more or less people in the nearby villages. When they saw him bought so much, they asked whether he got rich or had a happy event at home. Shen Xuanqing smiled and dealt with it casually, saying that he would save some for the family and take it to the mountain.

They all knew that he could hunt and usually went to the mountains, so he should buy more.


After paid the money and have a chat with Meng Dayue, Shen Xuanqing picked up the bamboo basket and left with Lu Gu. If you wanted to buy wine, there were wine brewers in Qingxi Village, so you didn't have to go far, just picked it up on the way back.

On the way home, Shen Xuanqing bought two jars of wine, a small jar of two and a half catties of rice wine. The two of them were more inconvenient in the mountains than in the village. If they wanted to drink rice wine, they had to come back and bring a jar.

This trip alone cost a lot of money, and the bamboo basket was heavy. Fortunately, Shen Xuanqing was strong enough, so he didn't need Lu Gu to help him.

They walked home, Shen Xuanqing thought for a while, and then asked Lu Gu in a low voice: "Did you buy wine because you want to drink?"

Lu Gu subconsciously turned his face, glanced at him, then quickly lowered his eyes and denied in a low voice: "No, I don't drink."

Now Shen Xuanqing was puzzled, and asked: "Then you bought it for me?"

Lu Gu hesitated, and then whispered: "Aunt got up early and came over and said that they ate Honqiao, when I was picking mushrooms last time, I seemed to hear a mountain stream flowing, I should be able to look for green snails, soak it in the wine, you can eat it if you want, and if you can't finish it, you can sell it."

The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, but Shen Xuanqing heard clearly that he was going to cook him something delicious.

Lu Gu saw him go out to drink earlier, and brought pheasant as a side dish. He also heard that Shen Xuanqing drank a lot of wine when he got married, so he knew that he could drink it. Although eating meat in the mountains was not so bitter, but Shen Xuanqing should be happier with a refreshing appetizer.

Even if you didn't drink, Hongqiao was so expensive in the town, it was good for Shen Xuanqing to try it out, it didn't cost him to cook it himself.

Shen Xuanqing was happy that his fulang was thinking about himself, and assured Lu Gu: "Eat, definitely eat, I don't drink too much wine, three or two glasses are enough, and I won't get drunk. "

Wei Lanxiang often told him to drink less alcohol, and didn't imitate the drunk man to do things that lost his reputation. He had educated himself, and his rationality was a bit more than that of a reckless man who hadn't educated. He also knew that alcohol could hurt the body, It was easy to make mistakes if you drank too much.

No matter which man in the village went back drunk, if his body reeks of alcohol, his wife and fulang would felt disgust when they saw it. Even if a man vomitted all over, no one wanted to approach him, so he always rememberred not to drink too much, and in the past year, when he drank with others he rarely got drunk, firstly, he could really drink, and secondly, he wouldn't pour too much alcohol into his death, and mostly he drank until he had finished.

Seeing the smile on Shen Xuanqing's face, Lu Gu was relieved, it seemed that he had done nothing wrong, and he nodded in agreement after hearing it, indicating that he understood.

When the two of them went back, Wei Lanxiang was delighted to see her son smiling so much, and she kept looking at Lu Gu's face, so she knew they were getting along well, so there was nothing to worry about.

Not long after the cock crowed ,Qingxi Village gradually began to have human voices.

Lu Gu and Shen Xuanqing got up and had breakfast, then pushed the cart into the mountain again.

This time they didn't go at night, and they could see the road under their feet more steadily. When Lu Gu reached the slope and turned his head, he saw Wei Lanxiang who was still standing at the door.

He felt stuffy in his heart, with an unspeakable sour feeling, but he also felt that it was warm, but he couldn't say it. He walked forward with his head down, and lost his mind when he thought about it. If his mother was still there, he definitely would send him the same way.
