Dihao's civilian life

Yu Su held the wooden bowl and drank the hot water in the bowl. He sat on the earthen platform and watched Si Hao's figure disappear from sight.

It was only noon at this time, and for Yu Su, there was still a long time.

Yu Su played with bamboo chopsticks for a while, but he was really bored. Looking at the bright sunshine outside, he wanted to go outside to bask in the sun, enjoy the wind, and look at the scenery under the hills.

It would be great if I could go out.

Yu Su took a wooden crutch and tried to stand up. He carefully stood up, retracted his injured leg, and successfully stood up.Yu Su moved the crutch and used the crutch to replace the injured leg to make himself move forward. When he had only one foot to walk, he could only use jumping. Yu Su took a small jump, although the coordination with the crutch was not coordinated , but after all, he took a step forward, secretly happy in his heart.The right leg arched and bounced again, this time the injured leg touched the ground, the pain hit immediately, Yu Su fell to the ground, holding the injured leg so that tears flowed from the pain.

After the pain subsided, Yu Su carefully got up from the ground. He looked at his injured leg with a melancholy expression.

To get out of the house, it seemed that Si Hao had to carry him on his back instead of crawling and snaking around on the ground.Yu Su sat and didn't dare to move.

He lived like a year, and when he heard Si Hao's footsteps in the afternoon, he excitedly poked his head outside the door.

In this desolate place, it was the first time Yu Su experienced how wonderful it is to be accompanied by someone.

Si Hao entered the room, grabbed a handful of herbal medicine, washed it clean, and there were still water droplets, he probably came up specially to change Yu Su's medicine.Si Hao saw Yu Su sitting on the ground with a wooden crutch lying on the side. He already knew what was going on, and Si Hao asked, "Want to go out?"

"Yes." Yu Su nodded shyly.

"Change the medicine first." Si Hao walked to Yu Su's side, and he squatted on the ground.

Si Hao plucked the leaves of the herbs, gathered them together, rubbed them in the palm of his hand, made them into a ball, put them on a stone slab, and crushed them with small stones.Si Hao collected the crushed herbs in the palm of his hand, looked up, and saw that Yu Su had rolled up his lower skirt, and took off the old medicine, exposing his calf.

The rubbing wound on Yu Su's calf has healed, and the flesh is wounded.The swelling of his injured leg subsided a little, although it was still bruised and purple, it looked scary, but it was actually very painful.

The herbal medicine was squeezed in Si Hao's palm, flattened, and lightly pasted on Yu Su's injured leg, and then patiently bandaged.In order to prevent the herbs from falling, Yu Su raised his injured leg with his hands. He watched Si Hao's action of applying the medicine, and sometimes secretly glanced at Si Hao's drooping face.

Yu Su looked from Si Hao's hair to eyebrows, nose to lips. He seemed to have forgotten the pain. When he recovered, Si Hao had already bandaged her and raised her head.

"Ji Hao, thank you." Yu Su put down his injured leg and straightened his clothes.

"Yeah." Si Hao was very indifferent to Yu Su's thanks.

Si Hao got up and kicked his numb legs twice. His thanks to Yu Su were very indifferent, and he only responded, "En."

When Si Hao pushed into Yu Su again and lowered his body, Yu Su thought he was going to carry her on his back, but she didn't want Si Hao to hug him horizontally.

"Huh?" Yu Su uttered in surprise, and instinctively grabbed Si Hao.

As far as he could remember, it was the first time he was hugged by someone. Yu Su tightly clung to Si Hao's arm, fearing that he would suddenly fall down.

It was really hard for Si Hao to hug Yu Su, he was still a boy, although he was stronger than Yu Su, but Yu Su was not light.Holding the person in his arms, Si Hao stepped out of the house with heavy steps, and heard Yu Su's anxious voice: "It's fine here, just let me down."

Si Hao took two more steps before putting Yu Su down gently. His face remained unchanged except for the sweat on his forehead.

His hands are so strong.Yu Su thought, he didn't know that Si Hao could carry a big sheep.

"Thank you." With the cool wind blowing outside, and seeing the vast wilderness, Yu Su happily thanked Si Hao.

"No need." Si Hao's eyes fell on Yu Su's flowing long hair, the dark blue headband wrapped around the braid, and the tassel ornament at the end of the headband. He looked at it for a long time.

Yu Su he brushed back his hair that was blown by the wind, and smiled because he was comfortable, and because he was stared at, his smile was shy.

He thought Si Hao was going to say something, but he got up and left.

Watching Si Hao's leaving figure, Yu Su thought it was strange why he hugged her, since he could use his back.Is it because his injured leg was newly medicated, and he didn't want his injured leg to be rubbed, so he hugged it?

Yu Su paid attention to the mountain road, he unconsciously looked for Si Hao's figure, and after a while, he saw Si Hao's figure on the mountain road, saw him leave in a hurry, and disappeared from sight again.

Because of the cover of mountains and trees, Si Hao disappeared without a trace.

Yu Su's eyes moved to the green hills and white clouds in the distance, listening to the rustling of leaves, being watched by the warm sun, he felt refreshed.

The location of Luoyuqiu is excellent, especially the towering earth platform, which can give a bird's-eye view of the surroundings.Whether it's forests or grasslands, Yu Su can see birds, wild deer and bison.

The boundless wilderness is covered by the azure dome, the sun penetrates the clouds, and the grass is colorfully reflected.Under the light and shadow, everything grows and unfolds in front of Yu Su without any cover.

Just sitting outside the house like this, Yu Su looked at the clouds, the light, the birds and the animals. The time passed quickly, and before he knew it, he was covered in the sunset and heard the bleating of the sheep.

Yu Su knew that this was Si Hao's return, and he was driving the sheep back to the sheepfold.Where I sit, my sight is blocked, I can only hear his voice, but not see his shadow.His gaze fell on the mountain road unconsciously again, he was waiting for Si Hao's figure to appear.

The setting sun in the sky was like blood, dyeing the mountain road red. Yu Su saw Si Hao walking slowly on the mountain road with a dog.He was carrying something in his hand, presumably it was food for tonight.

When Si Hao's figure disappeared on the mountain road and was covered by trees, Yu Su stared at the entrance of Luoyu Hill. While waiting, his eyes were eager and full of anticipation.

As he wished, he saw Si Hao climbed the Luoyu Hill and walked towards him. Yu Su waved his arms, shouted happily, and smiled involuntarily.

Yu Su grew up in the bustling Yucheng, and she is not used to being alone, but people always like to be accompanied by others.

In the dusk, a person and a dog cast long shadows on the ground. The young man walking in the front suddenly smiled at Shangyu Su with a frozen expression on his face.He was covered in golden light, he was holding a big turtle in his hand, and there was a bag in his arms.

Si Hao went into the room to put down the things, and then came out to carry Yu Su away.

For Si Hao, it's the same whether it's carrying or hugging.It's all contact with people, feeling the warmth of the human body, he doesn't dislike this feeling, after all, there has been no other person's breath around him for a long time.

The charcoal fire in the fire pond was lit, Yu Su looked at the fire, and Si Hao killed the turtle.

People in Yucheng also eat soft-shelled turtle meat, and the method of killing it is similar, but the cooking method is different from that of Si Hao.

Yu Su had already discovered that Si Hao always used roasting, but the pile of turtle eggs, wouldn't he also roast them?How can this be baked?

The food that Si Hao brought back included more than 20 turtle eggs besides one big turtle.The turtle eggs were fragile, so he wrapped them in grass wadding and carried them home in his arms.

At this time, the turtle eggs are placed on the wooden tray, and each one is round and smaller than the eggs of waterfowl.

Using the bronze knife, Si Hao easily divided the big turtle into several pieces, and the golden copper knife was stained with turtle blood.Si Hao poured clean water to wash the knife, and wiped it with a cloth. It can be seen that he cherishes this knife very much.

"Ji Hao, can I have a look at it?" Yu Su asked carefully, paying attention to Si Hao's reaction.

Si Hao raised his eyebrows and looked at Yu Su. He seemed to have thought about it before handing the bronze knife to Yu Su.

Yu Su caught it, held it in his hand, and looked at the bronze knife.The pattern on the handle of the knife looks like an animal, maybe a tiger, maybe a leopard, maybe a combination of other beasts.The decoration is smooth, the image is majestic and mysterious, and its craftsmanship is superb.The length of the blade is only longer than the palm, and there is a ring head on the handle.Yu Su had seen such a style before, and his father had one, but it was not as exquisite as Si Hao's, and it was far inferior.

"Is this left to you by your parents?" Yu Su remembered that Si Hao said that his parents were no longer alive. Such a valuable item is likely to be handed down from generation to generation.

"No." Si Hao took back the bronze knife, his words indifferent.

Yu Su originally wanted to ask about his background and family, but Si Hao's attitude made her dare not say more.I hope I didn't offend him, Yu Su thought.

The two sat together, Si Hao focused on roasting the turtle meat, and Yu Su took care of the charcoal fire.

Finally, the turtle meat was cooked, and Si Hao shared the food with Yu Su, who held the wooden bowl and said thank you.Yu Su held on to the bamboo chopsticks and picked up the turtle meat. He ate with bamboo chopsticks, and he ate quite smoothly.The most delicious part of the turtle meat is the turtle skirt. Si Hao shared a portion with Yu Su. Yu Su tasted it carefully. It was quite delicious and tender.Before he put it in his mouth, he thought that grilled turtle meat would not taste good.

In Yusu's house, turtle meat is mainly used for stewing soup, and occasionally steamed.

"Grilled turtle meat is also delicious." Yu Su carefully "cleaned up" the turtle skirt and put the skinless turtle shell aside, praising her sincerely.

"Do you want more?" Si Hao asked him.

"No more." There was still a lot of turtle meat in Yusu's bowl.

Si Hao put all the turtle meat on the stone slab into the wooden tray, and he took some of it out to share with Dahei. Dahei couldn't hold it anymore, picked up a big piece, and ran to the door to eat it.

Da Hei seemed to have gotten used to Yu Su, and never barked at Yu Su again.

Yu Su lowered his head to eat the meat, and said nothing more, he ate with a gentle manner.He sat on the side alone, Si Hao looked at him, but could only see his back, which looked very lonely.

"How do you cook it?" It was rare for Si Hao to ask.

"We will use pottery cauldron to stew turtles, add sliced ​​ginger and mushrooms, it's also delicious." Yu Su smiled, his eyes sparkled, sweeping away his previous frustration.

"I... I know how to make pottery. When my leg is healed, I'll make some pottery for you." Yu Su said what was in his heart.Grilled food is delicious, but he hopes that Si Hao can eat food made in other ways.

Si Hao asked, "How old are you?"

"Fifteen." Yu Su asked and answered, obviously very happy.

"Ji Hao, how old are you?" Yu Su didn't know Si Hao's age yet.

"Sixteen." Si Hao ate the turtle meat without raising his head.

Yu Su thought in surprise, so he was only 16 years old and looked so mature.It was rare that Si Hao was willing to take the initiative to speak, and Yu Su asked, "Ji Hao, have you lived here all this time?"

"No." Si Hao ate the turtle skirt, but did not eat the shell.

Yu Su asked cautiously, "Then where did you live before?"

Si Hao didn't answer, he watched the smoke rising from the pottery chimney, and remained silent for a long time.He picked up the turtle eggs, put them into a pottery pot, and boiled the eggs in clear water.

Yu Su waited for Si Hao's answer, and when the turtle eggs were cooked, Si Hao didn't tell him.After peeling the shell of the turtle and sucking the hot red finger, Yu Su didn't dare to ask any more questions, he knew that Si Hao didn't want to tell him.

At night, Si Hao still slept outside, and Yu Su slept inside.

It was even more difficult for Yu Su to fall asleep than the first night. He felt that the room was stuffy, his skin was hot, and an unknown heat was running around in his body.Although the door of the house was wide open, there was a cool breeze blowing in from time to time, and the fire in the firepit only kept the kindling and did not burn blazingly.

He didn't realize that it was the effect of the big turtle, but thought it was caused by the hot weather.In the past, when eating turtle meat in Yucheng, they would not eat so much at one go, and had to use it with other rice.

Yu Su didn't fall asleep until late at night, and not long after he fell asleep, it began to rain outside, and the sound of the rain was resounding, bringing chills.Yu Su fell asleep in the long-lost cold, unaware that Si Hao, who was drenched in the rain, ran back into the house.

Si Hao blew on the charcoal fire in the fire pond and sat drying clothes. The light from the fire was limited, only illuminating Si Hao's surroundings, and Yu Su's figure on the mud platform was covered by darkness.Si Hao knew that Yu Su was sleeping soundly, and he heard Yu Su's even breathing.

When he first came to Jiaoshan, Si Hao couldn't sleep well every night, often waking up from the night, wary of the wind and grass outside.

He is not afraid of wild animals, he is afraid of people, and the human heart is more terrifying than beasts.

He wasn't afraid of Yu Su, he just didn't want to implicate him.

Holding a burning firewood to illuminate the corner of the wall, Si Hao saw the boy lying on the mud platform, he had an peaceful sleeping appearance.Even though he was wounded, his long hair was combed carefully, decorated with accessories, and he was wearing a neat linen dress. In the dark, he was beautiful and peaceful.

Why can this man be so relieved that he is not afraid that he will kill him with a bronze knife?

Si Hao raised his hand to touch the tassel ornament next to Yusu's ear. He had seen a similar ornament on a beautiful and gentle woman.The woman was GUI Lan, the daughter of Ren Yichenxi, who was famous for her beauty, and her mother was from Yu.

It is true that there are beautiful women in Yucheng.

Withdrawing his hand, the belly of his thumb lightly rubbed against Yu Su's face, which was smooth to the touch.

Si Hao thought of the way he smiled, only those who were born in peace and carefree could smile so brightly at strangers.

Putting down the firewood in his hand, Si Hao returned to the fire pit and sat down as if he had lost interest in Yu Su.

It was still a long time before dawn, and Si Hao's clothes were hanging on the wooden beams to bake, and he only wore a piece around his waist to cover his knees.

He remembered Ji Bing said that in the distant past, before all the ancient emperors, people did not know how to weave clothes, nor did they know how to use fire.People drink blood like hair, knowing their mothers but not their fathers.Living ignorantly, they don't know how to use fire, and they don't know how to hide their shame. Later, people collected fire to roast food, and later people had a fig leaf around their waists, and finally lived like a human being.

Si Hao, who has a firepit and a knee covering, did not express any emotion for being a human being.

His hair was still wet, and the only sleeping place in his house was given to someone else, as was the only straw mat. He had to sleep by the firepit tonight.So Si Hao curled up like a savage, lay down by the firepit and fell asleep.

In his dream, he didn't dream of the distant era that Ji Bing mentioned, but he rarely dreamed of Guilan.He and his cousin Ren Jia stood on the battlements, looking at her together.The evening wind blew her long hair, the blue tassels wrapped around her ears fluttered, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, which was indeed beautiful.

Unknowingly, her face turned into Yu Su's face, also smiling.

The dream was interrupted here, and when Si Hao woke up from the dream, he still had a disturbing emotion in his heart. Whoever wanted to open his eyes and meet the enlarged face was Yu Su.

Yu Su was lying on the ground, with long hair hanging in front of Si Hao's eyes. He was holding a quilt in his hand. From the perspective of Si Hao who was lying on his back, he seemed to be throwing himself on top of him.Yu Su's hands were interlaced around his waist, and their chests were so close that they were almost touching.

Si Hao: "..."

"I, I want to cover you with a quilt." Yu Su sat up straight, with a hint of panic on her face.

The fire pond was not far from the Caoni Terrace, and the place where Si Hao lay on his bed was just under the Mutai Terrace.Yu Su woke up and saw Si Hao sleeping naked on the ground with his clothes hanging on the wooden beam to warm himself up by the fire, and there was the sound of rain outside.He felt that he was occupying Si Hao's sleeping place, causing him to sleep on the ground in the rain, and he was really sorry, so he wanted to cover Si Hao with a quilt.

He sat on the mud platform, bent over and stretched out his hand to test it, almost touching Si Hao, but when he was covering Si Hao with a quilt, he accidentally fell from the grass mud platform.

The grass mud platform was very low, and it fell to the ground without a sound. Yu Su thought that Si Hao would not notice it, but this guy opened his eyes immediately.

After Yu Su explained, she spread out the soft quilt and put it on Si Hao.The quilt was long enough to cover Si Hao's entire body.

The heavy rain at midnight came in from the loose doors and windows, almost soaking the firepit, and even the ground was very wet.Si Hao didn't feel cold, he was in good health.The quilt that Si Hao was wearing was something brought by Yu Su. It was made of fine kudzu and very light.

"Ji Hao, go to sleep, it's still a while before dawn." Yu Su turned around and climbed up the mud platform with his arms. It seemed that he was planning to use the difference between the mud platform and the ground to prop himself up and climb back to the sleeping place.Si Hao helped him change his dressing tonight, and found that his injured leg was much less swollen, but he still couldn't stand up.

There are things people are good at, and there are things they are not good at. When Yu Su climbed the grass-mud platform, his movements were particularly clumsy.Si Hao couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he held Yu Su's slender waist with both hands, and stretched it up easily.Relying on this help, Yu Su climbed up the grass-mud platform, turned his head and said with a smile, "Thank you."

In the dark, Si Hao couldn't see Yu Su's face clearly, but he was sure he must be smiling.
