Dihao's civilian life

During the long process of waiting for the food to be cooked, Yu Su added charcoal and Si Hao rotated the bamboo pole to make the chicken roast evenly.Dahei circled around the fire, he was very greedy, and the smell of the chicken made him unable to hold back.It leaned its nose towards the roast chicken, but Si Hao patted the dog's head away. It whimpered and left, and lay down next to Yu Su.I don't know when it started, Dahei not only didn't bark at Yu Su, but also showed some kind of closeness to Yu Su.

The bamboo tube exudes the fragrance of rice and bamboo, and the raw chicken on the bamboo pole is roasted until golden and oily, and the aroma is overflowing. Not to mention it is a dog, even Yu Su is looking forward to it. Seeing Si Hao, "Do you want more charcoal?" ?”

"No, it's ready to eat." Si Hao took the grilled chicken off the rack and placed it on a wooden tray.

Si Hao cut open the chicken with a bronze knife, and saw wild ginger and wild onion stuffed in the belly of the jungle chicken, all roasted thoroughly and juicy, these two condiments can remove the fishy smell.On the wooden plate, Si Hao divided the chicken into three portions, one for Yu Su, one for Dahei, and one for himself.

Si Hao said to Yu Su, "Bring me the bowl."

Yu Su handed the wooden bowl to Si Hao, and Si Hao picked up the chicken with a bamboo tong, put it in the bowl, and then handed the bowl to Yu Su, this is the share for Yu Su, Yu Su took it, and thanked Si Hao .

This bowl of chicken was steaming hot and fragrant, and what Si Hao gave were all the meaty parts, as well as a chicken leg.

"Eat." Si Hao signaled.

Yu Su picked up the chicken leg, bit into it with a small mouthful of oil, and found that Si Hao was watching him eat, so he lowered his head and smiled, a little shy.

Si Hao himself was not in a hurry to eat, he watched Yu Su lower his head to eat the chicken legs, and watched Da Hei gobble up his share of chicken.

The chicken was roasted crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it was so fragrant that Yu Su thought it was so delicious that he sucked his finger.However, Yu Su didn't just patronize the food in the bowl, he noticed that Si Hao was still taking care of the bamboo tube.He thought that he was leaving tomorrow. Could it be because of this that Ji Hao went hunting specially to prepare this sumptuous meal?

After savoring the chicken legs carefully, Yu Su found that Da Hei was approaching the wooden plate, and Yu Su protected the wooden plate to prevent Da Hei from stealing it. He said to Si Hao: "Hao, you eat first, Da Hei is watching."

After Dahei finished eating his share, he began to think of others.As a dog, Dahei's food is very good, tonight he not only has roast chicken, but also bamboo rice.

"Yeah." Si Hao responded, and he took his time and used two branches to remove the bamboo tube from the charcoal fire.The bamboo tube is too hot to touch, so let it cool down first.Si Hao walked up to Yu Su and sat down, picked up the wooden tray, and ate his roast chicken.

Yu Su saw that there was still a lot of charcoal on the fire, so he put the pottery casserole on it, boiled water, and it was ready to drink after a while.Charcoal fire is better than firewood, it has a high temperature and heats things up quickly.Yu Su's family used firewood, while Si Hao mostly used charcoal. Yu Su guessed that Si Hao would burn charcoal.It is not difficult to make charcoal. Yu Su, who works in a pottery workshop, can also burn charcoal.

After the two of them finished eating the chicken, they each took a piece of rice in a bamboo tube.Before eating, the bamboo tube has to be erected, cracked with a stone axe, and the bamboo shell is broken, and there is fragrant rice inside.After so many days in Luoyuqiu, Yu Su smelled the aroma of rice for the first time.

Putting the fragrant and soft rice into his mouth with bamboo chopsticks, Yu Su felt warm in his heart. He raised his eyes to look at Si Hao, and saw him bowing his head while eating without saying a word.The firelight illuminates his young face, his brows are heroic, his downcast eyes give people a sense of dignity, his lips and chin are resolute, and he is not at all like a young 16-year-old boy.For a moment, Yu Su felt a sorrow of parting, and realized that she was a little bit reluctant to part with him.

"Aww..." Dahei yelled, using his feet to pick up the hot rice in the bamboo slices.

It was given some rice in a bamboo tube, but the rice was too hot, and it was in a hurry to eat it, so it let out a cry of frustration.

"Next time, don't worry." Yu Su smiled and patted the big black dog's head, he was amused by the big black's gluttonous appearance.

Dahei rubbed his fur beside Yu Su, wagging his tail, obviously he was very close to Yu Su, who would have thought that it would rush at Yu Su a few days ago.

Si Hao looked at the fire, there was a person and a dog, his eyes lingered on Yu Su for a long time, he thought, tomorrow night, this person will not be around, and he will go home.On Luoyu Hill, he will no longer be seen.

Yu Su noticed Si Hao's gaze. He raised his eyes to look at Si Hao, as if asking, but Si Hao retracted his gaze. He looked dignified against the backlight.

At night, both Yu Su and Si Hao slept outside the house, with two mats spread close together.Yu Su was lying on a broken straw mat, and under Si Hao was a brand new reed mat, which still smelled like green grass.Yu Su lay with her head up, staring at the starry sky. For Yu Su who rarely slept outdoors, the starry sky was very mysterious and beautiful.Yu Su remembered that when he was a child, his sister told him that every star in the sky corresponds to every person on the earth.Yu Su thought, the brightest star in my eyes should be my star.

Yu Su pointed to the stars, and he found that some stars seem to be connected, he found it very interesting, he wondered if the bond between the stars is also between people.Yu Su asked Si Hao: "Hao, do you believe that everyone has a star?"

After waiting for quite a while, there was no reply. Yu Su turned her head to look at Si Hao, and saw that Si Hao was looking up at the starry sky with her head resting on her arms, as if she was thinking about something.

"I don't believe it." Si Hao withdrew his gaze from the star screen, and spoke flatly.

Yu Su was a little disappointed. He felt that Si Hao looked at the starry sky like him, and he should have the same feeling as him. However, people always say that people who look up at the stars always forget to put their feet in the mud.This is a sarcasm, satirizing those who like to look at the sky, but it is not practical.

Si Hao expressed his opinion: "People die every day, but stars are rarely seen falling."

This kind of thinking is not romantic at all, but it is true.In Si Hao's understanding, the stars, the moon, and the sun are all related to time, even in different seasons, the stars in the sky are also different.

It was originally a cold sentence, but it was a bit sentimental to Yu Su's ears. Yu Su thought of Si Hao's dead parents, and Yu Su asked softly, "Hao, when did you lose your parents?"

"I've never seen my parents." Si Hao shouldn't have mentioned his parents to outsiders, but he couldn't ignore Yu Su's inquiry.

"Is that because you were still very young when they passed away?" Yu Su's voice was unspeakably sad.

Yu Su met an orphan who worked as a servant in someone else's house since he was very young because his parents died one after another.There are no shoes to wear in the winter, and you have to go fishing in the frozen water, which is very miserable.Yu Su didn't hear Si Hao's reply, so he looked sideways at Si Hao, seeing that Si Hao's face was covered by darkness, and he couldn't see any emotion from him.

It seems that I shouldn't ask, maybe I offended him, Yu Su thought to himself.

"That's right." Si Hao returned calmly, putting his hands on his chest, touching the jade on his chest.He was in the dark, far away from the fire, and Yu Su couldn't see his small movements clearly.

"Then who raised you?" Yu Su thought that his background was really pitiful, no wonder he didn't like to talk about himself.

"Uncle." When Si Hao mentioned his own background, he didn't think he was pitiful or worthy of sympathy. Before he was 16 years old, he lived a very prosperous life, and his uncle was Ren Jun.

"Does your uncle ignore you now?" Yu Su guessed that Si Hao's uncle must not be a shepherd, because Si Hao didn't come from a poor background.Maybe Si Hao's uncle has some status, and the family is quite rich?

Si Hao replied: "I have grown up and can no longer rely on my uncle."

It was Si Hao's own decision to leave Ren Yi.He knew that he could not be under the protection of his uncle forever, and even if he was a king, his uncle would not be able to protect him anymore.

"Hao, there is a place called Nanhuan in Yudi. It is by Renshui, even foreigners can live there. Do you want to live in Nanhuan?" Yu Su suddenly remembered such a place, it is suitable for outsiders to live there.

Nanhuan is just south of Jiaoshan Mountain, just across Renshui.It is a waterfront, not as lonely as the foothills of Jiaoshan Mountain, where there is a lively small settlement.

Si Hao was a little surprised, Yu Su was inviting him to live in Yudi, and Nanhuan was close to Yucheng, Si Hao knew their geographical location, and also heard from Yusu that he was from Yucheng.

"What kind of place is that?" Si Hao asked intentionally.

"A place where you can settle down, fish, farm, or graze. There are many people living there." Yu Su went to Nanhuan once, followed Fengchuan's boat, and saw the lively scene there. .

"En." Si Hao replied.

He actually knew what kind of place Nanhuan was. There were some half-fishing and half-farming people in Rendi who crossed Renshui and settled there, which belonged to Ren Yu's mixed residence.

Yu Su said eagerly: "It's much better than here, and I can often visit you, it's very close to Yucheng."

When she said these words, Yu Su didn't feel that there was anything wrong. These days, he had received a lot of care from the other party, so he should repay it, but these words changed a bit in Si Hao's ears, and Si Hao chose to remain silent.

Since leaving Renyi, Si Hao has been unwilling to get involved with others. Taking care of Yu Su was a helpless choice under the circumstances at that time.Although this "helplessness" seems to be lacking in convincing at this moment, he is obviously very happy.

"Hao?" Yu Su was still waiting for Si Hao's reply, why didn't he speak?

Si Hao thought, if one day, he told Yu Su his real name, would Yu Su be angry at his deception?Yu Su has kindness and honesty towards people, but these two are things that need to be given up, without it, in order to save his life.If you ignore Yu Su, he will be disappointed, so you should tell him something, Si Hao replied: "I may go to Yudi in the future."

This is Si Hao’s truth. He chose Jiaoshan because it’s close to Yudi—a water separation; it’s also close to Miandi—a mountain barrier. Continue to live incognito.

"Well, you herd sheep for others, so you can't leave just by saying leave." Yu Su knew that it was her own wishful thinking, and she didn't think about the inconvenience that Si Hao might have if she left Jiaoshan.

There were many things that Yu Su wanted to ask Si Hao, but he could sense that Si Hao had something and didn't want to tell him.Maybe it's because the two of them are not familiar yet, maybe it's because Si Hao has other considerations.

Thinking about leaving here tomorrow, leaving Luoyuqiu, Yu Su felt a little melancholy.A young man's mind is always elusive, Yu Su doesn't want to talk to Si Hao anymore, and he doesn't want to look at the stars anymore.He turned around and lay down on the mat, with his back to Si Hao, looked at the dancing flames of the fire, listened to the sound of the wind, and gradually fell asleep.

After Yu Su fell asleep, Si Hao brought a thin Ge quilt from the house and helped Yu Su cover it.Sleeping outdoors at night, the temperature drops, and the wind is strong, which may catch a cold for those who don't sleep outside often.

Si Hao sat on his seat, looked at Yu Su, saw him sleeping with his limbs curled up, like a child.
