Dihao's civilian life

The rain was still wet early in the morning, so Si Hao locked the sheep in the sheepfold instead of grazing.The sheep were bleating, and Si Hao brought two bundles of dry reeds and scattered them into the sheepfold. They let them fill their stomachs first, and then grazed when the grass was dry.

Next to the sheepfold, there is a rather simple hay shed, on which are piled several bundles of weeds and some scattered reeds for emergency needs.

When he first arrived at the foot of Jiaoshan Mountain, an old shepherd beside Si Hao was in charge of teaching him how to deal with the local climate, how to obtain food, and how to take care of the sheep.The old shepherd called Husou, who was entrusted by Muzheng to teach Si Hao.

Hu Sou and Si Hao had only lived for a few days, so they said they had nothing to teach him.

At first Si Hao was grazing alone, and Mu Zheng sent slaves to visit him from time to time. Later, seeing that Si Hao was indeed living well by himself, he rarely called people over.

The shepherd's life is very lonely, and Si Hao is used to it.Having said that, Si Hao still did not forget to look down the mountain, the foreign team aroused his interest.This group of people encountered heavy rain yesterday and camped overnight below.Si Hao counted their number, there were four of them, one old man, two young men, and one boy.

These people were Yu people, and they could be distinguished from their attire. Si Hao had seen Yu people in Renyi.Si Hao knew that Yu Ren who was able to enter the ranch had obviously been allowed by Mu Zheng. Although Yu and Ren had a good relationship, Yu Ren was a foreigner after all.This group of people were probably pottery vendors who knew Mu Zheng well.

Si Hao, who was condescending, could see Yu Ren moving around, but Yu Ren didn't know that there was a boy on the hill watching them.

After observing the outsiders for a while, Si Hao went to work on his own, carrying a wooden bucket to the puddle to fetch water for the sheep.Just as he was pouring clear water into the sink, he suddenly heard the big black bark guarding the sheepfold. The barking was quite fierce and loud. Obviously something was approaching the sheepfold.

In the past, it was generally a beast, but now it may also be a person.

Si Hao walked out of the sheep pen, closed the wooden fence, and walked over with the bronze knife in his pocket.Before seeing the "invader", he heard an exclamation and Dahei's fierce bark.Si Hao chased after him, but there was no one in sight, but Da Hei had rushed down the hillside, barking downwards.

Si Hao didn't go down immediately, he scanned the slope and found obvious traces of rubbing, as if someone had rolled down there.Si Hao went down the hillside, halfway he heard the boy's cry for help, followed the sound, and soon saw a boy who had fallen into the pit.The boy struggled in a panic in the pit, and he broke his leg.

Yemao was not high, but this young man from Yudi was still injured.

Silently looking at the boy, Si Hao found that the boy was about the same age as himself.The boy's long hair hung loosely over his shoulders, and the hair was braided with beads.He was wearing a light blue fine kudzu coat, a plain apron, and a pair of leather shoes under his feet.In addition, Si Hao also noticed that the young man was wearing a small turquoise necklace around his neck, and a dark blue headband was wrapped around his braided hair.He was well dressed from head to toe, like a noble boy.

When Si Hao was observing Yu Su, Yu Su had already spotted him, and Yu Su looked at him with a pair of beautiful and restless eyes.There was mud on Yu Su's hair, hands, even clothes, and face.On his fair face, there were two bruises, and blood flowed from the skin.

Just as Si Hao was surprised to find Yu Su, Yu Su also looked at Si Hao with a bit of curiosity.Neither of them spoke, I looked at you, you looked at me.Finally, Si Hao came to Yu Su's side, he knelt down, patted his back with his abducted hand as a gesture.

Yu Su understood, crawled slowly, put his arm on Si Hao's back, and then pressed his warm body against it.During this process, Yu Su murmured because of the pain in his injured leg, his voice was small and he forbeared.

Si Hao felt the weight and temperature of his back, and waited for Yu Su to lie down before Si Hao slowly got up.Yu Su was afraid that his body would slip from his back, so he put his bare arms around Si Hao's neck, and his breath breathed on Si Hao's neck, rushing due to nervousness.Si Hao stood up, stepped on his heels firmly, carried Yu Su on his back, and left the pit step by step.

His not strong body supported the weight of Yu Su's whole body.Yu Su was on his back, very well-behaved, afraid that if she moved a little, she would be thrown off.

Neither of them spoke at first, but after they left the pit, they heard Yu Su say softly, "Thank you, please put me down."

Si Hao squatted down and placed Yu Su on the grass.He noticed that after Yu Su fell to the ground, he was protecting his injured leg, with a painful expression on his face.Si Hao stretched out his hand, and exchanged glances with Yu Su, as if talking silently.He pulled off Yu Su's skirt, exposing his calf, and checked his injury.The fall was indeed not light, the left leg was bruised and purple, and the whole calf was swollen. I don't know if it hurt the bones?

From Sihao down the hillside, Dahei followed him, and at this moment its dog's head was leaning on Yusu's body.It is very smart, and it knows that Yu Su is not a villain by watching its master carry Yu Su, but it is very wary of strange smells and strangers.Si Hao noticed that Da Hei was approaching, Yu Su immediately took a defensive posture, he seemed to be afraid of Da Hei, Si Hao slapped Da Hei's face away, and drove it away.

"I saw the sheepfold and wanted to go up and ask someone where to get water, but the dog suddenly rushed at me..." Yu Su told his story with grievance in his words.He looked at Dahei who was following Si Hao, as if saying: That's it.

Si Hao guessed the process, Dahei is fierce, as long as the beasts that come into the sheepfold will be driven away by it, presumably it is the same for people.Although Yemao is not high, if it falls in the wrong place and rolls into the pile of rocks, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Since Si Hao didn't speak, Yu Su thought that Si Hao didn't talk to him anymore, and his eyes were attracted by something.

"Ah, the clay pot is there." Yu Su saw the clay pot dropped aside, it was planted in the muddy water, and it didn't break.Yu Su reached out to reach, but his arms were not long enough.

Seeing this, Si Hao picked up the pot and handed it to Yu Su.

"Little brother! What's wrong with you?"

A man in a robe ran ahead in panic, calling as he ran.Behind him were two servants who were also in a hurry.

"Brother-in-law, I'm here." Yu Su responded and waved vigorously.

Tai Dong heard Yu Su's shout in the camp, followed the voice, and hurried to go.When approaching Ye Ma Po, he saw Yu Su's figure.He saw Yu Su looking embarrassed, sitting on the ground, showing a bruised leg.

Standing beside Yu Su was a tall young man who seemed to be about the same age as Yu Su.There was a black dog beside the boy, which also caught Tai Dong's attention.Before hearing Yu Su's cry, Tai Dong heard a ferocious barking of a dog, and it seemed that the dog had something to do with it.

Tai Dong glanced at Si Hao, and even kissed the dog beside him.Sensing hostility, Da Hei barked at Tai Dong, but was stopped by Si Hao's pat on the dog's head.Tai Dong didn't bother to question the strange boy for the time being, he stepped forward to check Yu Su's wound.Seeing that the injury was serious, he asked Yu Su in a deep voice why he was injured.

"I fell off the hillside." Yu Su protected his injured leg, with a sad and guilty expression on his face.

"How did you fall down the hillside?" Tai Dong was anxious for a moment, his voice was loud.

Yu Su was his brother-in-law, his wife's beloved younger brother, and it was no small matter to go out with him and get injured.Originally, after breakfast, he was about to set off, but today he could pass through the Jiaoshan camp and arrive at Lun City, but now it is really troublesome.

Yu Su lowered his head, without a word of excuse.Looking at his appearance, he himself felt very uncomfortable.Tai Dong sighed, patted Yu Su on the shoulder, and comforted him.

"Mang, come here and help him take a look." Tai Dong called the old slave over, Mang knew a lot.

Mang held Yu Su's injured leg, and touched Yu Su's wound with his hands. He didn't touch lightly, but pressed with his fingers.Yu Su's face was pale from the pain, tears streaming down his face.He endured the pain and screamed, but he bit his lower lip out of the tooth marks.

"The bones don't seem to be broken, but the muscles and bones are injured. I can't walk now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the ground in three to five days." Mang told Tai Dongyu Su's injury in his calm tone.What he said was definitely not good news, but it was also expected by Tai Dong.

Yu Su was downcast, he knew what it meant.He can't go to Lun City anymore, and he will be trapped at the foot of Jiaoshan on this trip.

"Didn't you take the kettle out to find water, why did you fall like this?" Tai Dong knew that Yu Su had a quiet personality and was serious about his work. If he just climbed a hill, it would be hard to imagine that he would roll down the hill and almost break his leg.On this hillside, the dirt road trampled out by someone is not difficult to walk.

Yu Su was sad and a little wronged, he turned his eyes to Dahei.Dahei was beside Si Hao, and when Yu Su saw it, he also met Si Hao's gaze.Their eyes met, Yu Su lowered his head, he didn't blame Si Hao.

In fact, Si Hao has been looking at Yu Su, but Yu Su doesn't know it.Mang checked Yu Su's injury, and Yu Su bit his lip and cried in pain, all in Si Hao's eyes.

"Little brother, did this dog hurt you?"

Tai Dong pointed to "the culprit", and he was also observant. The "culprit" felt the hostility again, raised his head and barked, quite rebellious.If its owner wasn't present, it might have bitten this group of unknown strangers.

"When I was about to climb up the hill, it rushed out and rushed at me, and I couldn't stand still..." Yu Su whispered.The situation was so sudden that he panicked and fell down the hillside, or he was not afraid of dogs.

"I shouldn't be rash..." Yu Su felt that he was also responsible, after all, he shouldn't rush into someone else's place.

"You didn't take good care of your vicious dog, and caused my little brother to break his leg!" Tai Dong snatched Yu Su's words, angrily accused Si Hao, he could see that Si Hao was the owner of the black dog.

Who would have thought that Si Hao would be blamed without regrets, without excuses, and without saying a word.

Only then did Yu Su realize that since seeing this strange boy till now, he has not spoken. Will he be unable to speak?

"Go call your father and brother over and discuss what to do? We were going to Lun City today, but now we can't."

Seeing that Si Hao was silent, Tai Dong slapped his palm anxiously.He has never recruited people who are silent.The young man was dressed in rags and lived nearby. Tai Dong guessed that he was a child of a shepherd's family.

"It's just me." Si Hao finally spoke, his voice clear.

"Where are your parents?" From Tai Dong's point of view, Si Hao was only sixteen or seventeen years old and couldn't be older. How could he live alone.

"It's gone." Si Hao's words were indifferent, without any sadness.

"Father, his family is up there." Mang pointed to the wild mapa above. He had visited it. There was a sheepfold and a flock of sheep on it.

The young and strong Mao picked up Yusu on his back, and a group of people walked towards the hillside.

The sloping land in Yemaar is not big, the sheepfold is built in the middle, and there are no houses around.The servants searched around, only to find a mountain road leading to another high ground.It was an isolated high hill with a thatched house on it.

The small thatched hut is simple and shabby, the door is wide open, and there is no one there.

The servant came back to report Tai Dong's situation, and Tai Dong gave Si Hao a double stare.Seeing that he is lonely, he is probably a slave for the shepherd, and he is not counted on him anymore.Besides, Yu Su didn't know the ferocity of the shepherd dog and was reckless, so he could only take responsibility for it now.

"Brother-in-law, please leave me here." Yu Su blamed herself for being injured because of her carelessness, which dragged down her brother-in-law.

It is impossible for someone to carry him to Lun City. This is a very heavy burden. It is already extremely hard for the two slaves to push the heavy cargo.Yu Su knew that she had to stay, although she was worried about staying alone.

"Let's stay here first, and then go to Lun City after you recover from your injury." Tai Dong comforted Yu Su, and in his opinion, this was the only way to go now.Even if a servant was injured, Tai Dong would not ignore him, let alone his brother-in-law.

Yu Su looked gloomy, and said, "I don't know when I will be able to walk, and my brother-in-law will miss the date."

He knew that this would delay things. It was raining, but the road was delayed for a day.Now, he was injured again, and it is unclear how many days the delay will be.

"I'll take care of him." Si Hao, who thought he wouldn't say anything, suddenly said.

Although Si Hao didn't speak, he listened to the conversation between Yu Su and Tai Dong.In Si Hao's view, Dahei is his dog, and this matter is not unrelated to him.

Whether it was Tai Dong or Yu Su, they all looked at Si Hao.Si Hao had firm eyes and a serious attitude.Obviously, this sentence has been carefully thought out.Si Hao will take on his own responsibility, no matter how troublesome it is.

"How do you take care of him? Do you know how to treat leg injuries?" Tai Dong thought it was a bit funny. The shepherd boy seemed to be very caring, but caring alone is not enough.

"An old shepherd will live in front." Si Hao pointed to a woodland in front of him.

The old man who taught Si Hao how to herd herds knows a lot of herbs.Si Hao was bitten by a snake once, and Hu Sou helped him treat it.

"What's your name?" Tai Dong thought this shepherd boy was interesting, taciturn and calm.Being able to graze on the corner alone and living in such a good hill shows that he is quite independent and capable.

"Ji Hao." Si Hao said without thinking.

Jihao is his pseudonym, and he changed his name to Yi after he took office.

Tai Dong thought for a while before asking, "Ji Hao, are you sure you want to take care of my little brother?"

"Yes." Si Hao was sincere.

The heroic look in the eyes of the shepherd boy and the determination in his words are reassuring.This reminded Tai Dong that he was bitten by a snake in Jiaoshan when he was a child, and he was also left in the shepherd's house to recuperate.The local shepherds are all managed by the herdsmen, and the boy's family is here, and he has nowhere to run, so he can be trusted.

Tai Dong didn't say anything, but asked Mang to pick herbs to apply to Yu Su's injured leg.Mang knows many herbs that can heal wounds.

Mang goes looking for medicinal herbs, and Si Hao consciously follows Mang, learning to gather herbs.Si Hao firmly memorized the two herbs picked by Mangcai, one with needle-like red leaves, and the other with small yellow flowers.

Picked herbs, Mang crushed them with stones, spread them into cakes with hands, and then applied them on Yusu's injured leg.The concoction is cold and has an analgesic effect. Yu Su Jing Youmang applied the medicine for him and wrapped it with a cloth strip.In fact, it was just a bandage, and Yu Su was so painful that she grabbed the corner of her clothes tightly with her hands.He was obviously afraid of pain, but he endured it silently.

Whether it was the actions of grinding medicine, applying medicine, bandaging, or Yu Su's small movements, Si Hao noticed them all.

"Don't move around, lie down for two days." Mang comforted Yu Su.

Picking up the leftover herbs, Mang told Si Hao who was beside him: "You have to change the herbs every day, and you have to remember to pick these two kinds of herbs."

Mang is an old man with rich life experience, he knows that Yu Su will be left behind, and this young man is worth entrusting.

Si Hao responded, "I remember."

These two herbs grow everywhere and are easy to pick.It is not difficult to change the dressing, Si Hao can do it.

Tai Dong walked up to Yu Su, and asked him in a low voice: "Little brother, do you think you want to stay here for a few days, wait for us to come back, or wait for the injury to recover, and go to Lun City with us."

"Brother-in-law, I'll wait for you to come back." Yu Su nodded.

"Okay, I'll sell the pottery, and I'll hurry back." When Tai Dong came out to sell pottery, he not only had an appointment with the buyer in Lun City, but also had an appointment with the Feng family on his return journey.If there is a delay, there will be no boat to go back.

"Ji Hao, come here." Tai Dong called Si Hao aside.

He took out a colorful painted pottery bead, handed it to Si Hao, and asked: "Take good care of my little brother, don't let him be hungry, thirsty, or hurt. When I come back, I have a big thank you."

Si Hao looked at the painted pottery beads in Tai Dong's palm. He knew that in Jiaoshan, one of these beads could be exchanged for a lot of grain.

"Take it, take it." Tai Dong put Tao Zhu in Si Hao's palm and helped him close his fingers together.

Si Hao didn't want to accept it at first, but he knew that this person was worried that he wasn't dedicated and wanted to buy him with money.That's it, accepting his gift can actually make him feel at ease.Si Hao put the colorful beads into his arms, he realized that there was a gaze looking at him, he raised his head, facing Shangyu Su's melancholy eyes.

The two looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that they would be together for a while.

The author has something to say: Director: Si Hao, you have to take good care of Yusu.
