Dihao's civilian life

Chapter 53 The Encounter at Yeluping

Yu Zheng and Yu Su had nothing to do with each other, but he knew that Yu Su lived in the northern district of Yucheng and was the youngest son of Yingwei Yu Mao.The North District is quite far from Yaotun, and ordinary Yucheng people don't come here very often.

After finishing a bowl of hot soup, Yu Zheng put down the bowl and leisurely warmed himself by the fire.He glanced at Yu Su, landed on the stable in the courtyard, and saw a white horse.

"It's a good horse." Yu Zheng praised.The white horse is too beautiful to ignore it.

"Is it a horse from Dazitun?" I heard that there are wild horses in Dazitun, and most of the horses from Yucheng people go there to buy.

"A gift from a friend." Si Hao replied.

Yu Zheng didn't ask any more questions. He didn't know about Si Hao's family and friends. The two were just friends who occasionally went hunting together.

"Drink another bowl?" Yu Su picked up the empty bowl, wanting to pour another bowl of hot soup for Yu Zheng.

"No, I have to go back, it's getting dark soon." Yu Zheng got up and bid farewell to the two.The days are short in late autumn, and the sun is already westward at this time.He has to go home before dark, lest Feng Yu worry about him.

Si Hao and Yu Su sent Yu Zheng out of the house. Yu Zheng walked into the courtyard, bent over and picked up the dead deer, raised his head and said to Si Hao, "Come to my house when you have time, Xiao Su knows where it is."

This is a very friendly invitation, Yu Zheng almost never invites others to his and Feng Yu's home.

"Alright, be careful on the road." Si Hao replied.

"Yu Zheng, be careful on the road." Yu Su waved.

Yu Zheng carried the deer downhill and walked a long way before turning around and waving his hands.He walked very smartly, carrying a deer on one shoulder and holding a spear in one hand. He was really a heroic and strong hunter.

Watching Yu Zheng go away, Si Hao and Yu Su continued to be busy, they had to reinforce the stable before dark.

Si Hao and Yu Su tied the bundle of reeds together and sat together.Yu Su had several small wounds on his hands, cut by reed poles, he tied them slowly, while Si Hao tied them fast.The two of them didn't say anything to Yu Zheng.

The reeds on the ground were bundled into bunches and piled up into hills. At this time, the surface of the lake was also stained with sunset glow.Yu Su got up and went back to the house to cook, while Si Hao stayed in the courtyard, tied the bundles of reeds to the wooden frame, and used them to form the wall of the stable.

Si Haoshi would look up at the people in the house, at his figure busy by the firelight.

At night, when the two were having dinner by the fire pond, Yu Su asked Si Hao how he knew Yu Zheng.Si Hao said: "He is also hunting deer in Yeluping, I have met him several times."

"He is a very powerful hunter, well-known in Yucheng." Yu Su nodded.Among the hunters in Yucheng, Yu Zheng was very famous.In the past, Yu Zheng would form a team with other people to go into the deep mountains and old forests to hunt wild boars, and even hunt big bears.

"What about me?" Si Hao smiled lowly.

Yu Su blushed, held the meat soup in the bowl, and whispered: "It's also very powerful."

Becoming a hunter requires training from an early age, but Si Hao didn't have this process, he seemed to know how to hunt deer all at once.

Hearing such compliments, Si Hao held Yu Su in his arms, and Yu Su thought he didn't like me praising others, right?Yu Su thought, Si Hao didn't know that he was quite well-known in Yucheng, and many girls were talking about him.

Yu Su put her arms around Si Hao's back, put her head on his shoulders, and thought: Fortunately, the girls don't know what kind of person he is, so they might fall in love with him.

In the middle of the night, Yu Su took off his shirt and sat on the grass-mud platform, while Si Hao helped him scrub with a towel.Si Hao wiped Yu Su's face, his movements were gentle, and the corners of Yu Su's mouth curled up.Si Hao rubbed it back and said, "Hand hurts like this, your mother will feel distressed when I go back."

In the past few days, he was making clay boards, burning tiles, and cutting reeds to weave reed bundles. Yu Su's hands were cut in several places.

"Just rub the medicine on it." Yu Su didn't think it was serious, and the wound didn't bleed much, so her mother wouldn't notice.

"Put your hair up, and I'll help you wipe your back." Si Hao wrung out the cloth towel, her hands were full of water, not wanting to wet Yu Su's hair.

Yu Su pulled the hair draped over her shoulders in front of her body, revealing her smooth and fair back.Si Hao stuck it up and wiped Yu Su's body. He wiped gently, very gently.

Not just the shoulders, but the arms, the chest, the waist.

Scrubbing down inch by inch, Si Hao looked serious, seeing that he had no distractions, Yu Su's face turned red first.

"Okay... okay." Yu Su held Si Hao's hand, preventing Si Hao from touching his belt.

"Just to help you wash your feet."

How could Si Hao not know that he was shy, he just touched Yu Su's waist when he knelt down.Si Hao lifted Yu Su's feet and soaked them in warm water.Yu Su didn't ask him to help, and rubbed her feet herself, but after washing, Si Hao helped to wipe them clean.

Yu Su tucked his feet onto the grass-mud platform, and was wrapped up in a quilt. He sat comfortably, watching Si Hao open the door to pour out the sewage, and then entered the room again.He looked at him, saw that he was wearing a buckskin jacket and sheepskin knee pads he sewed by himself, and saw that his own blue hair band was wrapped around his waist, which seemed to be a part of his belt.

Just watch him boil water, pour water into the tub, take off his clothes, scrub, and put on his clothes again.After watching it for a long time, I didn't feel bored at all. Every bit of my life with him is memorable.

Si Hao walked towards Yu Su, climbed up the grass mud platform, hugged Yu Su who was staring blankly at him, and asked, "Is it that pretty?" Yu Su put her arms around Si Hao's waist, and stroked his wide Back, I was embarrassed to say anything, so I didn't say anything.

In an embracing posture, the two lay down on the mat, and Si Hao pulled the quilt up.Inside the quilt is a warm, cozy night, outside the quilt is a night of cold wind howling.

Yu Su lay on Si Hao, Si Hao wrapped his arms around his waist, and they kissed, but it was just a kiss.

Tomorrow, Yu Su will leave. He is reluctant to part with Si Hao, and hugs Si Hao all night long, wrapping his arms around his waist and hugging him tightly.That night Yu Su slept soundly, Si Hao slept late, his shoulders were sore and numb from the pressure, and he changed positions carefully.

Five days are very short, passing by in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Bai Linzi, Si Hao and Yu Su said goodbye.He carried firewood on Yu Su's body, and handed him two fresh fish, and asked him warmly, "Can you carry it?" Yu Su nodded and looked up at Si Hao with sad eyes.

"I will look for you in winter, don't come here alone." Si Hao ordered.The roads in Yaotun in winter are not easy to walk, and there are few people, wild animals will come and go.

"Okay." Yu Su agreed.

"Go, watch your step." Si Hao patted Yu Su's head.

Yu Su walked away slowly, then stopped and turned back, Si Hao was still watching him behind him, and he was waving.Yu Sula pulled the rope on her shoulders, took a breath, and walked towards the Shenmu area.There was a lot of noise, and people were carrying out the last wave of collection in autumn.

Yu Su stepped out of Bai Linzi, turned her head and looked behind her, the path she came from was blocked by the bushes, and she didn't see Si Hao again.Yu Su quickened his pace, entered the Shenmu area, and saw lively people.Surrounded by bustling people, laughing and asking each other, but behind the white forest, that person can only return to his lonely home by the lake.

**

Outside the workshop area in the south of Yucheng, there was light snow in the sky.

When Yu Su walked out of the warm big pottery workshop, he suddenly felt the cold.He wrapped his sheepskin coat tightly and put his hands in his arms. He had to go through a clearing where the north wind was blowing to Yucheng.

The big pottery workshop in winter is relatively busy, and Yu Su helps out in the pottery workshop almost every day.It's good for people to be busy, so they don't want to run to Yaotun every day, although they still have to suffer from lovesickness at night.

Trembling through the open space, entering the south gate, and returning to the settlement, it was almost dark.Yu Su quickened his pace and rushed towards his home in the North District.

Arriving at the door of the house, before entering the house, Yu Su knew that his brother-in-law Tai Dong was coming - there was a wooden cart carrying pottery in the courtyard, and there were two servants.

In late autumn, Tai Dong came to Yucheng once, and asked Yu Su if he wanted to go to Luncheng with him, and was almost reprimanded by his mother.

Yu Su entered the house, and sure enough, he saw Tai Dong warming himself by the fire pond.He was still the same, and when he saw Yu Su coming in, he smiled at him: "Little brother, I heard that you will be going to Miyagi as an servant next year, congratulations."

Probably mother told Tai Dong about this, Yu Su thought.

"Brother-in-law, when are you coming?" Yu Su asked happily.He sat down by the firepit and stretched out his hands to warm the fire.

"It's already noon, I didn't see you, why are you still going to burn pottery?"

"If you don't burn pottery, you're still idle." Yu Su still likes to have something to do.

"Do you want to go to Jiaoshan with me?" Tai Dong leaned towards Yu Su and lowered his voice, afraid that Yu's mother, who was preparing the ingredients, would hear it.

Yu Su shook his head, Si Hao was in Yudi, and he had no obsession with Jiaoshan.

"How is he doing in Yaotun?" Tai Dong also thought of Si Hao. When he came to Yucheng in late autumn, he knew that Si Hao was in Yaotun.

"He's doing well, but I haven't seen him for quite some time." Yu Su was sad, his parents wouldn't let him go to Yaotun alone in winter.

"How long can it be? A few days ago, I went to the woods with your father to cut firewood. Didn't I see him?" Mother Yu came to the firepit with a pottery pot filled with dried venison.

About six or seven days ago, Yu Su and his father were cutting firewood in Jigu when they met Si Hao who was out hunting.Yu Su only talked to him a few words, and then bid farewell.At that time, seeing that he looked good, was in good health, and was wearing the winter clothes she sewed for him, Yu Su felt quite relieved.

But it has been six or seven days, and he doesn't know what to do now.Yu Su thought that the snowy road was muddy and the forest was windy and cold. It was very hard for him to go hunting. He didn't know if he had enough food, but he would eat and wear warm every day.

Yu Su knew that his mother would not let him go to Yaotun in winter, for fear that he would encounter wild animals, get frostbite in the woods, and get lost.Yu Su didn't answer Mother Yu's words, he was silent and looked sad.

"I think he is a calm person, he can also hunt and fish, and there are a lot of wood in the forest, so he can spend the winter without any problem." Tai Dong comforted Yu Su, sometimes he felt strange that the two were too close.

From Tai Dong's point of view, there were a lot of suspicious things about Si Hao, and he felt suspicious when he was shot by an arrow and sent to the camp for medical treatment.He suspected that Si Hao's status was unusual, but Mu Zheng didn't tell him, and this brother-in-law probably didn't know either.

The next day when Tai Dong left, he was still sent by Fengchuan to cross Renshui, still passing through Muzheng's house.He mentioned at Muzheng's house that Si Hao knew how to hunt, and he gave Yu Su's family a lot of dried venison.

Muzheng was relieved to hear that, and said, "That's good, I'm really worried that he won't be able to survive the winter alone."

Tai Dong saw Muzheng's emotional words, and he asked a question: "Lao Gao, I have something to say, I don't know if I should ask it." Muzheng's name is Ren Gao, and Tai Dong has known him for many years before he dared to address it directly. his name.

"What do you want to ask?" Mu Zheng rarely saw Tai Dong's serious face.

"Is he your privately raised son?" Tai Dong held back for a long time before choking out such a sentence.

Mu Zheng was drinking soup and almost choked. After coughing for a while, Mu Zheng frowned and said, "What are you thinking about, he is the son of my old friend."

The young Muzheng lived in Renyi, and his family could enter and exit Miyagi. He knew the imperial concubine, so it was not wrong to call her an old friend.

"Then why, the son of your old friend, you didn't protect him by your side, but let him go to Yudi alone?" Tai Dong felt that this was the biggest doubt.

"Dongtao, there is something, I told you, you must not tell others."

"can."

"I told you that after you know about it, you have to send a letter for me if something happens in the future."

"Alas!"

Tai Dong hesitated, and then replied: "What's the problem, at most I can run errands for you."

Mu Zheng let Shu go out and closed the door, and then, Mu Zheng leaned into Tai Dong's ear and said, "He is from the Luo Si family." Tai Dong opened his mouth wide, and said "Oh".

"I didn't expect that there are still Luosi people these days." Tai Dong lowered his voice, he remembered the past, and suddenly realized: "So, the last time the archers came to hunt him down, right?"

Mu Zheng was noncommittal and continued to drink soup.

"My brother-in-law is always with him, so he won't be in trouble, right?" Tai Dong thought of Yu Su.

"Don't expose his identity, no one will know." Mu Zheng said calmly.

"If you want me to say, it's nothing to drive them all to death. In this world, there are many people who disobey Jinyi." Tai Dong really felt that Jinyi's hand was stretched too far. Hidden in Tibet.

Early in the morning, when he opened the door, he saw the thin snow in the courtyard that had not completely melted, and Si Hao thought it had snowed last night.Si Hao went to the stable to look at the horse, and found that the horse was safe and sound.I heard that the winter in Jiaoshan is very cold. The white horse grew up in Jiaoshan, and it can adapt to the life of cold winter.

This is the first time Si Hao has spent the winter without fur coats and wind robes.He didn't feel too cold, he was wearing a sheepskin coat, knee pads were tied on his feet, a leather jacket and a pair of leather shoes.This attire is much better than most commoners.

The snow in the early morning melted quickly, and disappeared without a trace after the sun came out.

The weather is fine, and Si Hao plans to go hunting.

He is keen on hunting, because antlers and skins are valuable and can be bartered.In winter, he needs to change his grain storage.

Carrying a spear, dry food and water on his back, Si Hao set out on the road alone.He kept Dahei to look after the house, there were quite a few things in the house, and there was a horse in the stable, for fear that someone would steal it.Yao Tun's side is really quiet, and I haven't seen any suspicious figures, but I just need to be more careful.

The deer in Yeluping are very alert in winter, and they know that a large number of hunters are hunting them.Among these hunters, apart from Yu Zheng and Si Hao, there were others—a huge hunting team that would come out of Yucheng every winter.

When Si Hao came to Yeluping, he found that there was no sign of a deer, instead he heard the voices of people in the forest.He went up to check and saw a group of hunters, and one of the hunters, whom he knew, was Yu Zheng.

Yu Zheng also found Si Hao and called him, "Yao Hao, you are here."

The hunting team consists of 30 people and six or seven hunting dogs.These hunters were surrounded by a man, standing in the center, he was a young man dressed up.He is tall and majestic, wearing a windbreaker.Carrying a beautiful red bow in his hand.The well-dressed man also looked at Si Hao, he was looking at Si Hao.

By the lakeside in winter, birds and beasts disappeared, a cold wind blew on the bare branches, and a dry fruit swayed in the wind.The tall man who appeared in front of Yu Shubei was wearing a clean sheepskin coat and holding a bronze spear in his hand.He has an extremely handsome face and a calm demeanor like a mountain. Seeing that he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, it really makes people concerned.

For a moment, Yu Shubei seemed to hear the sound of Zihu from behind Sihao. It was the sound of ice cracking, or it was just the sound of wind.

"Hunter, what's your name?" Yu Shubei's voice was majestic and resonant.

"Yao Hao." Si Hao stepped forward and replied neither humble nor overbearing.

From the number of attendants of the man in costume, Si Hao could determine his identity.Mr. Yu is old, this is probably his heir.

The author has something to say: Yu Shubei: When I first saw him, I knew he was not an ordinary person.

Great Witch of Yucheng (throwing the turtle shell): Don't steal my business.

Tai Dong (after a long time): At first, I thought it was just to run an errand, Lao Gao, you bastard.
