Dihao's civilian life

Chapter 60 Coming of Age

In the early spring, Yu Su cut the weeds with a clam knife, and Si Hao turned over the soil with a bone plow behind.Yu Su brought a small bowl of millet seeds, which are the best varieties in Yucheng. The corn grown is plump and has a good taste.

In addition to millet seeds, Yu Su also brought gourd, hemp, bean and rapeseed seeds, intending to plant them all and cultivate more fields.Back then in Luoyuqiu, Yu Su and Si Hao described the scene of farming together, hoping that one day it would come true.

Yu Su is better than Si Hao in farming, but he finds that Si Hao is pretty good at everything.For planting crops, Si Hao had long been prepared. When he went to Yucheng, he would often go to the south of the city to see the crops of other people's homes, to see how others sow and take care of them.I have seen a lot, and I know a lot. I have not started to do it, but I already understand something.

A neat field was built, and Si Hao did not forget to build a water storage pit on the side to accumulate rainwater and facilitate irrigation.

Finding a low-lying grassy place, Si Hao dug with a shovel, and after digging a few times, he found a somewhat familiar snake slowly crawling out of the grass.I was weeding Ge Tian today, but I didn't find it, and I thought it had frozen to death in winter—after all, I'm so lazy, I don't want to be alive.

Si Hao still didn't give it a seven-inch shovel, and let it leave leisurely.

There is a large piece of wasteland here, with a lot of grass and food, especially Ge Tian is very attractive to small animals such as voles. This snake obviously regards this place as a comfortable hunting ground and is reluctant to move away.

Digging is physical work, and Si Hao can easily do it. At the age of 17, he is obviously taller than last year, and his body is also wider.The clothes I wore last spring were already too narrow and tight on my body this year.Yu Su made a new spring suit for Si Hao, which was worn on him at this time, it was a set of plain linen clothes.

Si Hao didn't like to decorate clothes with shell ornaments, colorful beads and the like, or Yu Su's hands were lucky enough to know how to make gorgeous clothes.

Yu Su still sewed the skirt and cuffs with fine cloth, which was resistant to abrasion and comfortable to wear.Every piece of Si Hao's clothes has traces of Yu Su's careful processing.Every stitch is his love.

Yu Su sowed the seeds on the Tianlong, and watered the soil with a gourd to keep the soil moisture.With one bucket of water, the two fields were already watered. Yu Su picked up the bucket and wanted to fetch water from the pond in front. He passed by Si Hao, but Si Hao took his hand and said, "I'll do it."

The wooden barrel is heavy, and the wooden barrel made by Si Hao is tall and fat. To carry such a bucket of water, Yu Su had to take a break on the way.Si Hao was different, he easily carried it back and forth.

When Si Haoshui brought it up, Yu Su sowed five or six gourd seeds on the edge of the field. Fearing that birds would eat them and wild animals picked them up, he did not forget to weave a straw cover to cover them.Yu Su planted the seeds and got up to see Si Hao, who was still digging the water pit.

The pond is not very far from the farmland, so there is no need to dig another water storage pit, but Si Hao said, why bother to choose the far.Some of his ideas are different from other farmers.

It was cold spring, Yu Su was wearing a thick coat, Si Hao was only wearing sackcloth, and he was sweating from digging.Yu Su wiped his sweat and handed water for him, and advised him to take a rest for fear that he would be tired.

For the young and strong Si Hao, let alone dig a small earth pit, even if he is asked to dig a well in one go, he can do it.

It's only spring, the crops have been sown, and even the boats are there.

A few days ago, Feng Chuan, Yu Zheng, and Yu Zhou came over, and they assisted Si Hao to pull out a giant log from the forest, and let it roll down to the lakeside along the terrain.With the help of everyone, the giant log was dug into a canoe by the lake.

The wood is strong, and it is not easy to process it with stone tools. They used the trick of the Yu people to build canoes - burn the part to be removed with fire, and the material is crisp after the fire.

After the canoe was made, Feng Chuan lacquered the image of a fish on the boat, saying that the boat would not sink.A witchcraft belonging to the fisherman.

Feng Chuan and Yu Zheng treated Si Hao very kindly, but Yan Zhou seemed unfamiliar, he talked less and concentrated on his work.He treated Yu Su well and taught Yu Su how to tan leather.

Zhou Zhou is very envious of Si Hao, after all, it is not easy for an outsider to live such a good life as Si Hao.He has a beautiful ready-made house, has extraordinary hunting skills, and has easily made a group of friends, and even "occupied" Yu Su, a beauty in the North District, he is simply a winner in life.

Si Hao and Yu Su spent two days plowing the fields and sowing seeds.It took three days to build a wooden house on a small sandbar in the middle of the lake.

There are many small sandbanks in Zihu Lake, and Si Hao chose one of them, named it Bailujie, and built a fishing house on it.Other people's fishing houses on the lake are all small and simple, built with random wood.Si Hao's fishing house is beautifully built with the same color of wood. He separates the utility room and bedroom, and the ground outside the house is cleaned up. There are several wooden shelves for drying fish and drying nets.

On the first night when the wooden house was built, Si Hao and Yu Su spent the night on the egret.There is no rattan couch to lie on in the house, nor decent furniture, the two of them spread out mats on the floor.

The spring night is still cold.There is no firepit in the house, and a pottery stove is used for cooking and heating.

Late at night, Dahei fell asleep beside the pottery stove, and Yu Su curled up in Sihao's arms, listening to the sound of insects outside the house.

Si Hao hugged Yu Su under her body and covered him with her body.The person in his arms took off his thick coat and only wore close-fitting clothing.Through the thin clothes, Si Hao touched Yu Su's body, his hand was stroking Yu Su's waist, without paying attention, he had reached into Yu Su's collar, loosened his collar, bowed his head and kissed Yu Su's bare shoulder , sniffing his breath.

As the winter passed, Yu Su's body was no longer so thin, and his slender waist was also a little fleshy.He has obviously grown taller, but Si Hao has also grown taller, so his height is still in Si Hao's ear.

Yu Su, who was crushed under him, felt the strength and heat of Si Hao's body, he was familiar with his body, and the comfort and joy brought by this body.

In the dark corner, they groped quietly, caressed, kissed, felt a little passion, and endless lingering.

Early in the morning, Yu Su woke up in Si Hao's arms. He tied up his messy clothes, combed his long hair, and looked at the sleeping man lying beside him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.Sometimes, he would lower his head to kiss him, and if he just woke him up, he would press him back to the ground again, clasping his hands tightly.

After the Dongshe gathering in winter, Si Hao seldom went to Yucheng, and even if he did, he would not stay for long.But it was convenient for Chun Ri to come and go, and Yu Su ran to Si Hao's side whenever he was free. Yu's father and Yu mother knew that he was coming to help Chun Plowing, so they didn't stop him.

Yu Su was pressed to the floor by Si Hao, half of his body was close to the wooden door, and was illuminated by the sun.The sunlight pouring in from outside the door also dazzled Si Hao, he decided to help himself and Yu Su avoid this disturbing but beautiful light.He kissed Yu Su, and he fell down, and Yu Su was shrouded in his shadow.

The warm sunshine made the lazy Dahei just lie down on the ground after pushing open the wooden door, looking at the lake and enjoying the dog life.The two people in the room hugged each other and whispered softly.

After working continuously for several days, doing heavy work, Si Hao felt tired, but he could still sleep for a while.He rested on Yu Su's abdomen, laying on the ground and closing his eyes leisurely. Yu Su's hands stroked his hair lightly, and traced the eyebrows and eyes on his face. His fingers were soft, and his movements were gentle, quite comfortable.

Outside the house, a few waterfowl flew up from the bushes, quacking and screaming. They were dressed in Xihe, and their smooth wings flicked the spring breeze.On the bank of the purple lake, on the desolate wisteria strips, a few tender green leaves emerge, delicate and lovely.

Riding on the spring breeze, from the west of the lake to the north of the lake, passing through the white forest, let it make a rustling sound, and resonate with the creatures in the valley.In Jigu, where the greenery is restored, the gathering girls, children, and women who disappeared in winter all popped up again.Holding bamboo baskets, they walked through the forest, picking wild vegetables and fungi.

Yu Su's collection place is in Yeluping, it's still the same, Si Hao hunts, and he gathers.Si Hao took Dabai away, and he took Dahei with him.

They caught a lot of fish, shrimp, and small crabs, dried them on egrets, and put them into bamboo baskets, which was a full basket.Si Hao felt that it was not enough, and he needed to hunt some wild game. He wanted Dabai to go to Yucheng with a full load of bamboo baskets.

Coming to March, the flower slopes dotted with exotic flowers and plants, couples are in pairs, and there are endless people from early morning to dusk.Yucheng's annual coming-of-age ceremony date is coming soon.This year, Yu Su can participate, he has come of age.

Si Hao brought a deer and put it on Dabai's body. He led Dabai along the sandy ground by the lake, to the old wild mushroom tree.Yu Su collects there, and the food that Chunri can collect is not only mushrooms, but also a wide variety of wild vegetables, and a lot of poultry eggs.

No matter how many things there are, Yu Su can only get a basket. He is not greedy and knows to keep them for the future.

He collected the food, instead of waiting under the old tree, he walked to the sandy ground and looked ahead.He saw the figures of Si Hao and the white horse, which were quite far away. Si Hao's steps were vigorous and heroic.With a spear in one hand and a white horse in the other, he walked towards Yu Su. When he saw Yu Su, he raised the spear in his hand.Yu Su recalled last year's winter, it was also here that he led Dabai's Si Hao, met Yu Ruo, the daughter of Lord Yu, and a group of girls.

The rumors of Bai Linzi's hunter were no longer popular among the girls, because the girls who had been in close contact with Si Hao all said that this handsome hunter was taciturn and fierce, and not friendly at all.When hearing it for the first time, Yu Su found it incredible that Si Hao is such a gentle person.

Later, Yu Su was extremely sweet in heart, and Si Hao treated him extremely tenderly, and he was the only one.

Yu Su summoned Dahei, and followed Si Hao, who was leading the white horse, to the beach by the lake, where a canoe was parked.Yu Su stayed by the lake, Si Hao left in a canoe, and he went to the wooden house.

When Si Hao came back, he carried a basket of dried fish and shrimp on the boat, and brought an empty bamboo basket.

The two bamboo baskets were placed on the big white back, and a wild deer was placed in the empty bamboo basket, and a small bamboo basket was also tied.

Si Hao led the horse, Yu Su followed beside him, and behind them was a black dog.The two of them, a horse and a dog, walked towards Bai Linzi, they were going into the city.

Since Si Hao came to Yu, Yu Su's family has never been short of animal meat and fish.Neighbors watched, somewhat envious in their hearts.

The white horse, the handsome hunter, and even the black dog looked exceptionally strong, with shiny hair.There are not many hunters like this in the forest, but Yu Mao's family was lucky enough to pick it up.

Si Hao and Yu Suhao appeared at the gate of the courtyard majesticly. Yu's mother was feeding the chickens in the courtyard. A brood had just hatched in Chunri, and it was fluffy yellow, chirping and chirping.When Mother Yu saw her son and Si Hao coming back, she rushed forward to meet her. Seeing Si Hao unload a bunch of things from the horse, she was surprised and said, "Bring so many things!"

"I'm coming to stay for two days." Si Hao said with a smile.

"You can't finish eating for two years, Ah Hao, look, this yard is full of meat." Mother Yu pointed to the dried fish and meat hanging under the eaves, and she realized that the child was coming to her house. How many things have been moved.

"Mother, this deer is going to be venison sauce, so there is no need to dry it." Yu Su wondered if her mother was worried that there would be no place to hang it.

"Go to Ah Hao's place to eat his food and drink his food, and let him bring so many things every time, you're so embarrassed." Mother Yu crossed her eyes at her son and whispered to him.

Yu Su just smiled and didn't dare to reply. He and Si Hao moved things into the house, fearing that the neighbors would come and watch.

Si Hao is too capable, so he has to be careful.A few days ago, a neighbor asked Yu's mother to help talk about marriage. Yu's mother really went to ask Si Hao, but Si Hao flatly refused.

Yu Su still knew about this, and he also knew that Si Hao would not agree, but he still cared about a girl who wanted to marry him.

Two days later, it was March [-]rd, the day of the coming-of-age ceremony.

As soon as Yu Su got home, he got busy. He collected herbs to dry, made sachets, and rushed to make new clothes.This reminded Si Hao of his coming-of-age ceremony last spring.His ceremony was solemn, and he bought it as a son of a great nobleman.

Dressed in a white silk robe, with red clothes and green clothes on the outside, a jade pendant on the waist, a high crown on the hair, a blue tassel belt, and red agate beads.Si Hao's attire was not shown to outsiders, only relatives and friends were able to see it.This is the adult attire of the heir, and uncle can hold the best coming-of-age ceremony for him.

The sachet is decorated with tassels, and one end is tied with a colorful string, which can be hung on the belt.The smell of vanilla is really unique and beautiful, Si Hao picked up the sachet and sniffed it.Imagine it hanging on Yu Su's slender waist, and Yu Su's body exudes its smell.

The new clothes are a short gown, the length of the gown reaches the calf, it is the most elegant kind of clothes for ordinary men from the Yu people.Yu Su's short robe is gray-purple, and it is cut from a piece of cloth dyed by Yu Mu.

The purple worn by nobles is very bright, and the dyeing process is complicated.The common people just collected a kind of tree leaves, crushed them, filtered out the dregs, and dyed them directly with the juice, and the dyed color was grayish purple.

Yu Su worked all night making short robes.

In the early morning of the second day, Mother Yu watched her son come out to wash up and dry his hair in the yard. His hair was waist-length.Yu's mother said: "The hair has to be cut short. Which family's boy still has such long hair when he grows up."

It's okay to have long hair reaching to the waist, but from behind, her figure is quite graceful. Fortunately, this child is gentle, but not effeminate.The son of so-and-so in the North District always dresses up as a girl and is laughed at.

Yu Su stroked her hair, and felt that it was indeed too long, and it was more suitable for her shoulders.

It is very simple to cut hair short. Some families use clam knives or stone flakes to cut hair, but Yu Su's family doesn't use it. Si Hao has a sharp bronze knife.

White Tangli flowers are blooming on the branches. Under the branches, there is a young man sitting on the ground, and a young man standing behind him.The man took a bronze knife and helped the boy shave his hair. He felt distressed while shaving, and touched his hair again and again.

When Mother Yu saw two people under the tree, one was sitting upright, the other was busy with work, with a serious attitude, so she didn't come over to care.I don't want to, after Yu's mother cooked the soup, she went out of the yard and found that her son's hair was cut short, but there was always something wrong.

She walked over and took a look, tsk tsk, this is not much different from being bitten by a dog, how could she trust Si Hao's haircutting skills.

"I'll come, Ah Hao, go and eat soup." Mother Yu sent Si Hao away, holding on to the bronze knife, busy behind her son.

Mother Yu pulled up her long hair and cut off a piece with a knife. Yu Su felt the pain and begged for forgiveness: "Mum, it hurts so much." Mother Yu patted him on the head and said, "Ahao helps you cut it off and it won't hurt anymore."

Yu Su sat obediently, not daring to talk too much, it was obvious that Si Hao's action of helping him shave his hair was much gentler.

Holding a bowl of fish soup, Si Hao came to the courtyard to see Mother Yu helping Yu Su shave her hair. She moved swiftly, and not long after, Yu Su's hair that was hanging on the ground disappeared, and turned into shoulder-length hair.

That gentle and soft young man disappeared all of a sudden, and standing in front of Si Hao was a handsome, tall young man, his brows and eyes were still so familiar and amiable, but the feeling was a little different, um, he had grown up.

After cutting his hair short, Yu Su tied half of his hair in a bun, but he still braided a lock of hair around his ear and tied it with a dark blue hair tie, vaguely resembling his previous appearance.

Yu Su was cutting her hair, and Si Hao was watching intently. He knew that this person would be his, and he was very moved.

Embarrassed by being seen, Yu Su went back to the room, closed the door, and took a while to change into the short robe.Si Haoren was waiting outside the door, seeing that he was looking forward to it, and Yu's mother who was busy in the fire pond had a sudden thought, would he have been waiting for this day for a long time?

Finally, the door of Yu Su's room opened slowly, and he walked out.He is dressed in purple robes and white clothes, with small white shell ornaments on his hair bun, dark blue strappy feet hanging down around his ears.A gray cloth belt was tied around his waist, and a small white sachet was hung.

Si Hao couldn't take his eyes off, Yu Su smiled at him, and Si Hao felt a heat rising in his heart.He raised his hand, reached into the skirt of his clothes, and took out a ribbon, which was a five-color ribbon.He held on to the ribbon, handed it to Yu Su, and said, "Try it on." For a moment, Yu Su felt that Si Hao seemed a little embarrassed, but he must have read it wrong.Yu Su took the belt, blushed, and went to untie the gray cloth belt on his body. He was excited and nervous, his fingers trembling.Si Hao went over to help him, untied it all at once, and tied the five-color ribbons for Yu Su.

Mother Yu was watching the two children's intimacy, and she had already guessed their relationship in her heart, so she was not very surprised.She picked up firewood and added it to the firepit, busying herself.

The belt is nothing else, it is the most intimate token of love, but I don't know where Si Hao got this colorful belt, maybe it was bartered in Dazitun.

Tomorrow, he will go to Shemu to attend the coming-of-age ceremony, but today, Yu Su has to dress up and go to Miyagi, and Father Yu will take him there.

Every year, adult men of the Yu family will be entertained by Lord Yu, which is an ancient tribal custom.
