Dihao's civilian life

Pour the duck meat into the pottery stew, put it on the firewood and cook it hot, the firewood is strong, and the soup boils.Yu Su took Tao Ge away, put it aside, and made the firewood smaller.The duck meat was served with soup, which was fragrant and steaming hot. Yu Su handed it to Si Hao and said, "Eat it while it's hot."

"Thank you." Si Hao took the bowl, bowed his head and drank the soup. The duck soup was stewed thick and delicious. Half a bowl of hot soup entered his stomach, and his whole body felt comfortable and his blood flowed smoothly.After drinking the soup, Si Hao slowly cleaned up the duck meat in the bowl - a big duck leg, a piece of breast meat, he ate even the belt meat, and ate very cleanly.

Yu Su watched Si Hao eat, feeling quite relieved.He had injuries on his body. When he was recuperating in Jiaoshan, he had a good diet. After coming to Yaotun, his life was hard and his food was rough.

After the duck meat was finished, the fire in the fire pit gradually dimmed.

Si Hao took a twig and picked chestnuts from the firepit. He pulled out a lot of chestnuts, and Yu Su picked them up and put them on the clay pot.

The two sat together, peeling chestnuts, Yu Su only tasted two, and peeled the rest for Si Hao to eat.He peeled one, fed Si Hao one, put it near his lips, watched him eat it, and sometimes touched his thin face.Yu Su likes to watch him eat, wants him to eat fatter, and wants him to recover as soon as possible.

Not far from the two of them, outside the door of the house, Dahei was enjoying a piece of fish, and occasionally raised his dog's head to look at the two owners in the house. It was very calm, lowered its head and continued to eat meat.

After one meal in the morning, Si Hao and Yu Su took the basket, followed by Da Hei, and went to the forest to collect.

Yu Su taught Si Hao to identify edible mushrooms and wild fruits.In terms of collection, Yu Su is much better than Si Hao who grew up in the city.Most people in Yucheng live by farming, but they still retain the habit of collecting mushrooms in the forest. People in Yucheng have all followed their mothers and sisters to pick mushrooms in the valley since they were young.

The two easily picked up a basket of wild mushrooms, and also picked a lot of wild persimmons and Tang Guo.

During the collection, every time Yu Su taught Si Hao one thing, Si Hao remembered one thing, and when he mentioned it again, Si Hao already knew them and could recognize their appearance.Yu Su was very surprised, holding two mushrooms in his hand, and asked, "Ah Hao, these two are obviously very similar, how do you tell them apart?"

"It's not difficult, one kind grows on trees and the other grows in the soil." Si Hao replied.They look alike, but have different growth habits.

"It will take me a long time to recognize it. The ones in the long soil are delicious, and the ones on the long trees can also be eaten, but they need to be dried and then cooked. If they are eaten directly, some people will have diarrhea." Yu Su laughed, and he I think Si Hao is very powerful.

"At this time of year, these are the five or six kinds of mushrooms that I often eat, and I picked them all. There are so many wild fruits that I can't finish them all in one day. I think these two are the most delicious." That is, wild persimmons and tangerines in the basket fruit.Tang Guo is small in size but sweeter. Wild persimmons can be used to make dried persimmons, which Yu Su likes very much.

"Don't worry, teach me next time." Si Hao mentioned the basket containing wild fruits. He already knew how he got food in the forest, and wild fruits were just for emergency use.

The two left the forest together, each holding a basket, and returned with a full load.

On the way home, he passed a needle forest. Dahei chased the squirrels in the forest for a long way.Since moving to live in the forest, Dahei has included many small animals in his diet, as if he has the consciousness to be a hunting dog.

Yu Su wanted to stay and wait for it, but Si Hao said no, it would run back by itself when it was tired from playing.

The two walked through the forest mottled with light and shadow, and after walking not far away, they heard a barking sound behind them, knowing that Dahei had returned.Dahei returned empty-handed. He caught up with the two masters and seemed very happy.

The two came to the stream, Si Hao was spearing a fish at one end, and Yu Su was cleaning mushrooms and wild fruits at the other end.The birds in the forest were chirping, and the sound was continuous, and Dahei's heart began to stir again, and he ran around.

Yu Su raised his head and saw Si Hao throwing a big fish to the bank. He smiled slightly and lowered his head to wash the persimmons. Before the persimmons were washed, he looked up and saw him throw another fish.What a surprise!Fishermen in Yucheng seldom use spears to spear fish. They like to use nets. Even if Feng Chuan is asked to spear fish, he does not have such a good technique.

After the two baskets of food were cleaned, Yu Su took the baskets to find Si Hao, and saw Si Hao was cutting water and weeds.The aquatic plants were twisted into ropes, passing through the gills of the fishes, stringing them together, and holding them in the hands, there were as many as six tails, two of which were particularly fat.

Si Hao holds the fish in his right hand and the spear in his left. His left hand can lift and hold light objects.He walked towards Yu Su, wanting to beg for the basket of wild fruits, Yu Su laughed and said, "I can lift it."

The two walked side by side to the Bailinzi. It was noon, and the forest was quite lively, with various animals undulating among the valleys.Yu Su and Si Hao stopped and walked, looking at the surrounding scenery. The deserted old forest has a mysterious and terrifying atmosphere. Once you get acquainted with it, you will feel that it is lush, pleasing and full of vitality.

Back home, Yu Su took out two wild persimmons and buried them in the warm ashes.Si Hao sat on the side, fiddling with a piece of ox blade picked up in the forest, trying to fit it on a wooden handle.He repeatedly compared the joints between the bones and wood, and chopped them with a stone ax so that they could fit together.

He can only use one arm, and it is very inconvenient to make tools. He is very patient, and slowly inserts the blade into the wooden handle.Yu Su looked at him, feeling indescribable.The scapula and the wooden handle fit together, and Si Hao used his hands and teeth together to bind the rattan to make the connection between the bones and wood more solid.

A handful of bones were made in this way, and placed on Si Hao's lap. He looked at this tool and was quite satisfied.Yu Su held Si Hao's right hand and stroked it, Si Hao looked up at him, Yu Su whispered: "There are many injuries on the fingers."

On this hand, there were many large and small wounds, scrapes, scrapes, punctures, and blood stains under the nails.When he was in Jiaoshan, he also had injuries on his hands, but the injuries were minor and not as serious.

He should have been recuperating in bed, but he was working all day long.

"It will get better." Si Hao said softly, he pulled out his hand and touched Yu Su's head with it to comfort him.

Yu Su nodded, he believed that his left arm would recover and he would be fine.He can live in Jiaoshan, and he can also come to Yaotun. He is very powerful.

Throughout the afternoon, the two stayed together in the house.

Yu Su pulled out the two wild persimmons buried in the charcoal ashes, divided one between Si Hao and one for herself.The persimmons are simmered warmly, and they are sour and sweet.The two ate wild fruits and smiled at each other.For the remaining persimmons, Yu Su put them into clay pots, and he told Si Hao that they would ripen by themselves by the fire pit, and they would not be sour when they were ripe.

The picked mushrooms were left to dry outside the house, which ones could be cooked directly and which ones needed to be dried, Yu Su repeatedly asked.He was afraid that he would forget and eat badly, but how could Si Hao forget with such a good memory.

What else needs to be done?

Yu Su walked around the house, touched Si Hao's grass-and-mud platform, and touched his suitcase. Suddenly, Yu Su took the basket from the wooden beam.In the basket was a package of needles and thread wrapped in a cloth.

Sitting on the grass mud platform, Yu Su cut off the frizzy fibers of the cuffs with a stone knife, and then took a piece of cloth to draw on it to measure out the required size.He tore open the muslin which he had brought, and wrapped it round the hem of the sleeve, and sewed the muslin to the sleeve with his needle and thread.

Sew both sleeves and then the collar.

A tattered top was reborn through his hands.

Yu Su mended the clothes, folded them neatly, and put them on the suitcase. Suddenly, she felt that she fell into a warm embrace.Si Hao, who had been quietly watching him sewing, came quietly behind him and hugged him.He grabbed his hand from his side, rubbed his face against his neck, and whispered in his ear, Yu Su bowed her head in embarrassment.

In the afternoon, the doors and windows were closed, and the fire in the hearth was lit.

The clothes on Si Hao's upper body were unbuttoned, revealing the hideous wound on his left shoulder, and Yu Su changed his dressing.Yu Su stirred the medicinal powder, smeared it on a wide and round leaf, then pasted it on the wound, and then wrapped it with thin cloth strips.Wrapped layer by layer, thinly wound, tied.After the bandage was finished, Yu Su helped Si Hao pull up his clothes. He pressed against Si Hao's body, feeling her warmth.Yu Su didn't go to tie his clothes belt for him, he put his arms around him and buried his head on Si Hao's shoulder.

It was time for him to leave, he had to go back to Yucheng before dark, and make an appointment with his mother.

Si Hao put his arms around Yu Su's waist with one hand, and stroked his head and back with the other. He couldn't bear his sadness.The two hugged each other for a long time before Yu Su raised her head and silently helped Si Hao pull up and tie his clothes.

They were very close, much closer than the one in Jiaoshan and the other in Yucheng.Going back today, maybe we can meet again tomorrow, Yu Su comforted herself like this.

When leaving, Yu Su held the pottery bowl in one hand and the basket in the other.The basket was heavy and there were two big fish in it.

Si Hao sent Yu Su to the vicinity of the Shenmu, and before they left the Bailinzi, they heard voices, and the two said goodbye in the forest.Si Hao waved his hand, Yu Su turned his head in three steps, Si Hao said with the shape of his lips: Go, Yu Su is reluctant to leave.

Watching Yu Su disappear into the forest, Si Hao didn't leave immediately. He listened to the sound, and he heard someone asking Yu Su if he was going to pick mushrooms.It was a female voice, she sounded about [-] years old, she talked to Yu Su very intimately, obviously an acquaintance.

Their voices and footsteps gradually faded away, and Si Hao left with peace of mind.Let Yu Su go through Jigu alone at dusk, he is worried, but fortunately someone will accompany him back.

By the lonely lakeside, Si Hao walked alone with the sunset on his shoulders.He is alone, but he is not lonely and lonely in his heart. There is a warm fire in his heart, like the fire in the hearth, which can illuminate the entire dark room.

Si Hao went back to the house and stood by the firepit. He roasted mushrooms and cooked fish soup, and ate it with Dahei.After eating, he tidied up the house, lay down on the mud platform, thinking about tomorrow's arrangements, wrapped himself in sheepskin and fell asleep.

The next day, there was no familiar figure in the Bai Linzi, so Si Hao felt at ease. He didn't want Yu Su to come across Jigu to look for him from time to time, he was worried about his safety.

At noon this day, Si Hao filled his small kettle with water and took a handful of roasted chestnuts as dry food. He took Dahei out to explore the lakeside.He has only been in Yaotun for a few days, and the problem of food and clothing has been solved, but this is far from enough.What Si Hao wanted was never just to survive.

Zihu Lake is vast and boundless. He once heard Ji Bing say that in the time of ancient emperors, Zihu Lake was also called Zihai, which shows the depth and breadth of its waters.The people of Yu arose by the Zihu Lake. It can be said that Zihu Lake is their holy lake. Even today, there are still tribes, large and small, scattered by the Zihu Lake.

Si Hao's trip this time is not to search for the tribe, he is to find out the resources by the Purple Lake.He knows that there are fish, shrimp, shells, turtles and crabs in the lake, so what about other animals and plants that depend on Zihu for their lives?

Along the way, Si Hao discovered several species of waterfowl that inhabit the lakeside, and some of them built their nests directly in the grass by the lakeside.The numbers of these waterfowl are quite large, occupying a whole sandy area, and can provide a large number of eggs.Leaving this sandy land, Si Hao continued to move forward, and he saw a herd of deer, their shadows shadowing the forest, countless.

Si Hao thought, he could try hunting with a spear. There is a kind of deer in the deer herd, which is short in stature and looks quite docile.Hunting large wild deer is not a small risk, and it is likely to be attacked.

While thinking about hunting deer, suddenly the wild deer in the forest ran wildly and scattered, Si Hao became alert, held on to the spear, and looked at the forest.Not long after, he saw a tall figure appearing in the forest. The man was running very quickly.

Si Hao didn't approach rashly, he watched from the sidelines until the other party found him.The hunter was a young man, he glanced at Si Hao, and seeing Si Hao standing still in the distance, he ignored him.He drew his spear from his prey, and wiped the blood from the blade on the fur of the wild deer.He lowered his body and picked up the wild deer. It was a full-grown deer, very heavy.

Seeing the hunter leaving slowly, Si Hao entered the forest and stared at his figure. This man was not a few years older than him, brave and strong. He could penetrate the heart of a wild deer with a spear. He was undoubtedly an excellent hunter.

The young hunter did not go very far. He took the fat deer off his shoulders and stopped to rest.It seemed that it was not easy for him to transport this big deer away.How could he hunt alone?Hunters are always in groups.

Si Hao watched him pause for a long time before walking over. When the young hunter saw him approaching, he immediately picked up his spear and looked alert.He didn't know Si Hao, and everyone would be wary of strangers with weapons in the forest.

"Cut the deer open and discard the internal organs, then you can take it back with you," Si Hao said.Like sheep, deer have a big, bulging abdomen. After removing the internal organs, the weight will be much lighter.

"Who are you? I haven't seen you before." Yu Zheng asked aloud, but he didn't put down the spear in his hand.His spear was a bone blade, not a copper blade, and he noticed that Si Hao was carrying a spear with a copper blade.

"I'm Yao Hao, living in Yaotun." Si Hao introduced himself.

Hearing that the other party lives in Yaotun, Yu Zheng put down his guard.He took out a stone knife and cut the belly of the wild deer, apparently according to the method Si Hao said.He naturally knew how to reduce the weight of a prey, but he seldom did so, and only did it after hearing Si Hao's reminder.

The wild deer was disembowelled and its internal organs were pulled out. Yu Zheng turned his head and saw Si Hao still standing aside. He thought it was asking for something, so he cut off a deer leg and handed it to Si Hao.The man behind him looked quite poor, and his tattered clothes had been mended several times, but the woman in his family was virtuous, and patched cloth on the collar and cuffs to make him comfortable.

"Thank you, I'm not here to beg for venison." Si Hao replied.

"Then why are you following me?" Yu Zheng felt that he must have a reason.

"I want to ask you how to hunt deer." Si Hao said respectfully.

"What do you usually use your spear for?"

"Fork fish."

"You can spear all the fish, but you're afraid you won't be able to spear the deer, just try more." Yu Zheng picked up the deer and waved to Si Hao. In the hand he waved, he was holding a deer leg.In Yu Zheng's view, spearing a fish is extremely difficult.

Si Hao thought this person was quite interesting, and judging by the direction he was walking, he might be a hunter from Yucheng.

The author has something to say: Yu Zheng went home and said to his family: You can mend my clothes too.
