Dihao's civilian life

This mud house by the lake has only one room, which is very big.

There is a firepit in the room, a grass mud platform for sleeping, and in the corner, there is an earth pit dug next to the wall—a common storage pit in civilian houses.

The wooden planks covering the storage pit are still there, but they have been overturned aside. The small earth pit has traces of animals making nests, and it is quite messy.Si Hao jumped into the storage pit and shoveled out the dirty soil so that it could be transported away in a bamboo basket.

He can only use one arm. Although the action of shoveling soil is not fast, it looks strong and steady, and it doesn't seem to affect his work much.

Yu Su squatted beside the damaged door frame, filled the hole with clay, and smoothed it out with a wooden board.He does a decent job, thanks to helping Feng Chuan paint the walls a few days ago, he can use what he has learned.

There are many places in the house that need to be repaired. There are signs of animal damage at the base of the wall, and there are holes in the wall. It is drafty and chilly.

In this house, there is a large gate in front of the house, and a small door on the side of the house. The wooden boards of the door have been cracked under the wind and sun for many years, and they can no longer be closed firmly.The house has three windows that are decayed and need to be remade.

Repairing the house is not something that can be done in a short while, Yu Su is very patient, and Si Hao is methodical.

After removing the dirt from the storage pit, Si Hao went outside to dig clay.What Yu Su dug was brown soil of the same color as the wall, for the sake of appearance; Si Hao dug white clay, which is very pure and is pottery clay.After transporting the white clay to the house, Si Hao poured it into the pit, mixed it into the pit soil, kneaded it with water, and used it to pave the walls and bottom of the storage pit.

After laying it, when it is dry, store the grain in it.This storage pit can be of great use in the future, not only to store corn, but also to put some dried mushrooms, dried fish and so on.

Yu Su raised the back of his hand to wipe his sweat. He turned to look at Si Hao, and couldn't help laughing when he saw that he was still smearing the storage pit.He had discovered before that Si Hao was very serious about doing things, even if it was a small matter, he would do it well, his character was like this.

Standing up, patted her sore leg from squatting, Yu Su walked towards the fire pit, wanting to drink water.He raised his hand to lift the pottery, only to realize that his hands were muddy, and retracted again.

Yu Su went out of the house and went to a pond beside the house to wash his hands.The pond is small and clear, and you can see small fish, shrimps and snails in it.

After washing her hands, Yu Su went back to the house and poured water to drink. After drinking one bowl, she poured another.Holding it, he handed it to Si Hao: "Hao, drink your saliva." Si Hao raised his head, raised his clay hand, with a smile on his face, his smile was beautiful and unforgettable.

"You don't need to use your hands." Yu Su laughed, tipped the bowl, put the edge of the bowl on Si Hao's lips, and fed him water.Si Hao lowered his head to drink water, Yu Su looked at his face, his eyebrows and forehead, and saw that the hair on his forehead was messy and stained with sweat, Yu Su wiped his sweat with the other hand.

When he came to Yaotun and saw this house, Yu Su was very happy.In the future, he won't have to cross Renshui to find Sihao, and the resources here are much more abundant than those in Jiaoshan. You can't finish eating mushrooms and wild vegetables, not to mention the shellfish and crabs in Purple Lake, and the huge number of them. school of fish.

The two sat aside to rest, looking at the unrepaired, airy and rainy house.Yu Su raised his head, pointed at the leaky roof above, and said, "This kind of tile is not difficult to burn." Si Hao was not surprised, for Yu Su who knew how to make cooking utensils, the tile was very simple.He looked at Yu Su, saw the smile on his mouth, and thought that he was very good, not an ordinary boy.

Si Hao said, "Su, teach me."

What he can do, he should try his best to do by himself, not just because Yu Su knows how to burn pottery, he can't just do all the pottery firing.

Yu Su told Si Hao that to make tiles, one must first use wooden boards to make a mold.Using the mold, you can get twice the result with half the effort, and you can make a large number of tiles with the same specifications.It is simple to fire tiles. They need a pottery kiln, and a simple pottery kiln can be surrounded by mud.

I am afraid that all the tiles on the roof will have to be replaced. Burning tiles is not a matter of a day or two, it will take a long time.Right now, where the roof is leaking, it can only be stuffed with grass bundles and covered with a layer of mud.

"Wang Wang."

Dahei found a hole in the wall, squeezed its head into the room, and left half of its body outside, calling playfully.Seeing that the two masters ignored it, it got out of the hole smoothly and ran to Yu Su wagging its tail.

"You are the most leisurely, take care of the house in the yard." Yu Su patted it on the head, and it stuck out its tongue, licking Yu Su's hand affectionately.

This hole in the wall was specially reserved by Yu Su for Dahei, and all the other holes were blocked, leaving the biggest one.The dog must have a dog hole so that it can come and go freely.

The two of them had a good rest and climbed up to the roof together. Si Hao climbed up first, and then pulled Yusu, in case Yusu would fall.Yu Susai straw bundles, Si Hao muddy mud, division of labor and cooperation.The midday sun shone on the two of them, and they worked hard without distractions.In the courtyard, Dahei lay at the intersection, taking care of his home.

The residents of Yaotun knew that this dilapidated house had been moved three days ago. They stood on the high ground and watched from a distance, but did not come to answer.There are very few residents in Yaotun. They have lived in the deep forest for a long time, and their temperament is quite withdrawn.

Standing on the eaves, Yu Su saw a yard not far away. There were people moving around in the yard, and there seemed to be a child.He is from Yucheng, and he only knows there is Yaotun, and it is his first time here, so he has not had much experience with the kind of people living here.

"There are five families here, most of them are old people, and few are young people." Seeing Yu Su looking at the house in front, Si Hao told Yu Su.At that time, I came here with Yao Ying, and Yao Ying took him to say hello to these hunters.

"Young people may have moved out. After Yaotun, there is Dazitun. There are many people living there." Yu Su has been to Dazitun, and it is indeed very lively and a very special place.

"What do they do for a living?" Si Hao asked, since there were other neighbors, he had to find out.

"Fishing, they don't farm, they eat fish all the time, and some people even make their homes on boats." The Purple Lake is very big, and Yu Su has never seen it in its entirety, and only knows a thing or two about the settlements living along the lake.

Si Hao found it very interesting to settle down on the boat, thinking that in the future, when he explores the surroundings, he will always meet these people who make a living on the purple lake.

After the roof was repaired, the two climbed down the house carefully.Si Hao came down first, followed by Yu Su. Si Hao stood on the ground, watching out for Yu Su to climb down. When Yu Su stepped on the window and jumped to the ground, Si Hao stretched out one arm to catch him, and Yu Su fell steadily into the ground. in his arms.

The house has been repaired so far, only the doors and windows remain.Si Hao used a bronze knife to cut the wooden door, cutting off its deformed part so that it could be closed again.Yu Su tied thatch to bamboo strips to make simple windows, which was not too troublesome.

Before the sun went down, they roughly repaired the house. Others, such as repainting the walls, laying the floor, and replacing the tiles, could only be done slowly and took a lot of time.

At night, the two of them sat around the firepit, ate noodle soup with wild vegetables, and looked at the cleaned-up house, feeling very happy.This is one's home, but both feel it's their home.

This room is much better than the hut in Falling Feather Hill. It is more spacious and brighter, and it has a large grass mud platform, so it is no problem to sleep two people.When the house was built, it should be for a family to live in, maybe two adults and one child.

After eating, Yu Su changed the dressing on Si Hao's left shoulder under the firelight.His wound has almost healed, and now it can be seen from the wound that he has suffered multiple injuries, but Si Hao's left shoulder cannot move freely and cannot bear weight.Si Hao seemed very calm about the injuries on his body, he knew how much damage the arrow that shot at his shoulder had done to him.

Yu Su wrapped the cloth strips silently, helped Si Hao pull up the clothes and tie the belts.When he met Si Hao under the sacred tree, he really thought it was a dream, because he knew that Si Hao shouldn't have left Jiaoshan so soon, he was supposed to be recuperating, but he hurried out.

After coming to Yudi, if Si Hao is willing to live in Yucheng, it would be great to raise him in his house for a period of time, and he has food and food, and he can take care of him day and night.

He hates that he is hunted down, he doesn't want to attract attention, or because he doesn't want to drag himself down, he would rather live in Yaotun.

If the two hadn't met under the sacred tree at that time, when would Si Hao come to find him?Yu Su didn't know.He was very glad that the two had met, and he was very afraid of losing news of Si Hao.

"Su, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Yu Su's melancholy expression, Si Hao raised his hand to touch his face.

Yu Su turned his head away, he felt uncomfortable, because of Si Hao's injury, but also because of his suffering.Yao Tun is just another Luoyuqiu, he is still far away from the crowd and alone.

"When the arrow shot in, it hurt the bone, and the pot said it won't heal so quickly, and it's only been a month." Si Hao's voice was gentle, and he thought Yu Su was sad because of his injury.

Yu Su silently turned her back to fold the Ge quilt and tidy up the clothes on the straw mud table.He brought back the tattered clothes that he wore in Jiaoshan. How could he be so poor? He was living a good life in Renyi, and Jinyi was all to blame.

"Su?" Seeing that he was silent, Si Hao folded his clothes and lightly touched his shoulder.Yu Su raised his head and replied, "Yeah." He picked up the clothes, "Don't wear these, I'll sew you a suit."

There is linen and Gebu at home, enough to make a new set of clothes for Si Hao.

"I'm new here, and my clothes attract attention." Si Hao said.After all, he was alone in a strange place, and it was safer to pretend to be poor than to be rich.

"Then I'll mend it for you." Yu Su whispered, hugging the torn clothes.Come over next time, bring the bone needles and fabrics from home, and mend the broken clothes.The collar and the edge of the sleeves must be covered with a piece of fabric to be comfortable to wear.

Si Hao saw that he cared so much about his torn clothes, so he nodded to reassure him.

It was late at night, and it was windy outside. Dahei got into the house through the dog hole, and lay down by the firepit to sleep.On the grass mud platform not far from the fire pit, Si Hao and Yu Su lay down together, covered with Ge quilts.On an autumn night, although the fire pit was burning, Yu Su still felt cold under a thin kudzu quilt. He slipped into Si Hao's arms, and Si Hao hugged him sideways.

"Is it cold?" Si Hao asked him.

"En." Yu Su responded.He knew that Si Hao only had one Ge quilt, and he gave it to him.Next time I come here, I have to bring a leather bag, so that Si Hao will not suffer from the cold in autumn and winter.

When Si Hao got up, Yu Su lost the "stove", put his hands in his arms, and looked up at him.Si Hao went to the grass box and took out a piece of sheepskin from the box. The sheepskin was narrow enough to cover only one person, and he put the sheepskin on Yu Su's body.

This is what Muzheng gave. There are many things that Muzheng wants to give. Sihao only accepts this sheepskin, which can keep him warm in autumn and winter.Si Hao is not short of money, he is undoubtedly the richest person in Zihu, he has five jade coins and nine stone coins.When he was in Jiaoshan, he carefully buried the shell coins in Falling Feather Hill, and only dug them out before leaving Jiaoshan.In Yaotun, in this dilapidated house, Si Hao's shell coins were buried under the mud platform.

Si Hao lay down next to Yu Su and covered himself with a Ge quilt. Yu Su immediately gave him half of the sheepskin and pulled it to cover Si Hao together.The two still hugged each other, this time it wasn't because of the cold.Si Hao hugged Yu Su's waist tightly, Yu Su touched his face, the two looked at each other and smiled in the limited lighting, Si Hao's eyes were full of tenderness.

Yu Su's fingers touched Si Hao's thin face, eyebrows, and cheekbones. He knew that it was useless to feel distressed. He lost a lot of weight after the injury, but he still couldn't stop feeling distressed.With tears in the corners of his eyes, he pressed his lips to Si Hao's face and kissed lightly. Si Hao wiped away the tears from the corners of Yu Su's eyes with his thumb, and kissed Yu Su's lips. His kiss was very gentle.Their bodies were pressed together, and Si Hao's hands stroked Yu Su's waist and back through the clothes.

The two kissed and hugged passionately, and the sheepskin covering them slipped to the side without them noticing.

After the kiss, Yu Su hid her face in the Ge quilt, Si Hao got up, picked up the sheepskin, and covered it again.Si Hao lay down and took Yu Su into his arms. His embrace was very warm, and Yu Su was afraid of the cold.He hugged Yu Su with his arms, warmed him with his body, and did nothing else.

Yu Su fell asleep comfortably in Si Hao's arms, and it dawned overnight.

After daybreak, Si Hao carried a bamboo basket on his back, took Dahei with him, and held a spear. He wanted to send Yusu back to Yucheng and collect food along the way.Yu Su followed Si Hao, and the two stepped down to the high ground, looking back at the room above.The house was unfamiliar to both of them, but looking at it now, it feels like home.

The two walked through the white forest and walked under the sacred tree. Si Hao would continue to see each other off, but Yu Su said that it was safe here.Hearing the voices of people nearby, as well as the sound of Xiao Xiao Feng Ye, the two hurriedly embraced and said goodbye.

Si Hao left Shenmu, and Yu Su watched his figure disappear into the white forest until he could no longer be seen.

Yu Su didn't return home immediately, he wandered under the sacred tree.Like last time, he put his hands on the trunk of the sacred tree, and he felt peaceful in his heart.

Before, he always felt that Shenmu was a remote place in the suburbs, but now he felt as close as being at the door of his house, because there lived a person in his heart nearby.

Taking advantage of the fact that the people who gathered early in the morning hadn't entered the Shenmu field, Yu Su left quickly and walked in the direction of Yucheng.
