Dihao's civilian life

Tai Dong left at noon, took two servants Mang and Mao, pushed a wooden cart, and disappeared in front of Yu Su.At that time, the sky was clear and the sun shone directly on the Jiaoshan Mountains.

Yu Su sat on the lonely hill, he didn't know that this lonely hill was called Luoyuqiu, and he didn't care about it at the moment.His full of sorrow, like winding mountains, has no end.

In the four days before his brother-in-law returns, he will be with a stranger, and he is also handicapped and needs to rely on others everywhere.

But Yu Su didn't complain, he just felt deeply worried.

The left leg was swollen and distorted as if it was about to respond to the awn. The originally slender calf was now like a fat carrot.I don't know how long it will take for the injured leg to subside and walk on the ground.

Yu Su sat on the edge of the cliff for a long time, with his back to the earthen platform, his figure was lonely.Si Hao watched him for a long time on the earthen platform, and finally, seemingly helpless, he stepped off the earthen platform and walked towards Yusu.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Yu Su knew that it was Si Hao who was coming, and he felt nervous in his heart, tightly clenched the hand on the handle of the wooden crutch.Si Hao was reticent, but Yu Su didn't know what to say to him. After all, they just met today.

Before Si Hao approached, Yu Su grabbed the crutch and tried to stand up with the crutch for support.He felt that he should be able to do it, and it was not in vain to make this wooden crutch for him.

Some things, just like this, look easy but are difficult to do.Yu Su was not used to being able to use only one leg, so she accidentally stepped on her injured leg.He gasped in pain and fell to the ground.

No, he didn't fall to the ground, and the person behind him quickly supported him.Yu Su felt embarrassed, he didn't like to cause trouble for others, let alone someone he had never met before.

Yu Su sat on the ground, embarrassed to look at the other person's expression.He hung his head, rather dejected.

"Go back to the house?" Si Hao squatted down to look at Yu Su, his left knee was bent, his right hand rested on his right knee, and his face was close.

Although he was expressionless, Yu Su still felt a pressure.It's not that she wants to go back to the house, Yu Su still nodded.

Si Hao turned his back to Yu Su, motioning for Yu Su to lie on his shoulders.Yu Su looked at this man's shoulders that were wider than her own, and remembered that he had carried her on her back earlier and didn't fall off. He must be able to carry her back, right?

"Thank you." Yu Su obediently climbed onto Si Hao's back, lay on top of her, and thanked her gratefully.This man's back was very warm, his shoulders were broad and solid, not much like the shoulders of a boy, his strong arms condensed strength.Yu Su put his face lightly on the opponent's shoulder, and he tried not to sway himself to reduce the trouble of carrying him.Yu Su didn't notice that it was an intimate gesture.

Si Hao felt the breath blowing from his neck, and the feeling of the young Yuren's hands clasping his arms.This feeling is very special, as fresh as two people who don't know each other suddenly act intimately.

Bearing has an unusual meaning, which requires the dedication of one party and the dependence of the other party.

Supporting Yu Su, Si Hao walked forward step by step.When walking on flat ground, Si Hao can handle this heavy burden on his back, but climbing stairs is always difficult.

Yu Su lay on Si Hao's back, and when he heard his heavy breathing when he climbed the stairs, Yu Su patted Si Hao's shoulder lightly: "Put me down."

"Don't move." Si Hao's arms were tightly tied to Yu Su's legs, and he had no intention of letting her go.This soil step must be crossed, there is no other way.

The life in Jiaoshan made Si Hao tough and determined.With Yu Su on his back, he struggled to climb the eight steps of the earthen platform.He was already sweating profusely before he boarded.

Yu Su lay obediently on Si Hao's back, put her arms around his neck, and was so quiet that she even held her breath.His nose smelled the sweat on Si Hao's body, and his chest was pressed against Si Hao's back, which was hot and humid, and Si Hao's heavy breath could be heard from time to time.The process of climbing the eight steps felt very long to Yu Su, and he prayed for an early end.

Finally, the two climbed onto the earthen platform, and Si Hao put Yu Su on the ground.Yu Su landed on the ground, looked up, and saw that the hair on Si Hao's forehead was wet with sweat.It was also at this time that Yu Su noticed the deep eyebrows and nose of his side face, the drooping eyelids, and the tightly closed lips, with a kind of tenacity.There was an indescribable emotion in Yu Su's heart, as if he remembered his appearance all at once.And my own chest, suddenly jumping very fast.

Yu Su sat on the ground, paying attention to his injured leg, and placed it gently.He sat upright and put his hands on his thighs to calm down his emotions.Si Hao was resting next to Yu Su, with one foot resting on the earthen platform and the other in the air, in a casual posture, and his breathing was gradually calming down.

"I'll be here." Yu Su didn't want Si Hao to carry him again, which made him very guilty.This person is only a little older than himself, maybe not more than two years older, not a strong man.

The noon sun shone on Yu Su's body, but Yu Su didn't notice that she also had sweat on her forehead.He was stiff and nervous.

"Sun here, go to the house." Si Hao stood up, his words were not a discussion, it sounded like an order.He doesn't have a lot of time to take care of Yu Su, it's not appropriate to let Yu Su bask in the sun in an unobstructed place at noon.

Si Hao picked up Yu Su again, this time he carried it with ease, took a few steps, and sent Yu Su into the house.He placed it on the grass mud platform where he usually sleeps, which is the most comfortable place in the house.

Yu Su sat on the grass mud platform, looking curiously at the home of the young shepherd.It's really quite simple, with empty walls.

Under the body is a low mud platform made of grass and mud, covered with an old straw mat.There is a straw box next to the grass mud platform, probably a clothes box.The box looks like it has been used for a long time, and the corners are already rough.

Yu Su glanced around the house and saw a few crude wooden tableware, which were placed on the niches, sorted by size, very neat.This small detail seems to tell visitors that the owner is a person who likes to be neat and orderly.

If you look at the fire pit, you can see a pottery pot for boiling water.Apart from this, there is no other pottery in the whole house.

Yu Su was shocked by her discovery!

There is no pottery pot for cooking, no pottery pot for steaming rice, only a pottery pot for boiling water, what do they eat?

No, what does this person eat on weekdays?

Glancing secretly at Si Hao, he was sitting by the fire pond drinking water.Yu Su had noticed a long time ago that he was wearing a tattered sackcloth, the collar and sleeves were almost falling off, and he didn't sew it on.

The living conditions are so simple, his life should be very difficult.But this person is not thin and thin, he is tall, almost a head taller than Yu Su, and he is not weak, with strong arms, he does not look like a person living in poverty and suffering.

Yu Su realizes that here, he will live a completely different life, even the houses he lives in are very different.This grass-mud house is a semi-crypt house.In Yu Su's impression, poor people live in semi-crypt houses, because the construction is simple, and the materials only need wood, reeds, grass and soil, and some rattan at most.

Before building a house in Yucheng, you need to ram the earth as the foundation, process the wood to make a mortise and tenon structure, and burn bricks to make roof tiles. The process is much more complicated.

Touching the flat line of the grass and mud platform with her hands, Yu Su thought that this house looked very new and had only been built recently.Could it be that he built it himself?

After Si Hao finished drinking the warm water in the wooden bowl, he looked at Yu Su and found that Yu Su was also looking at him.Si Hao lifted Tao Ke, poured out a bowl of water, and handed it to Yu Su.He probably thought that Yu Su was begging for water when he looked at him.

Yu Su took the wooden bowl with both hands, and took a sip of water.When he fell down the dirt slope, his teeth hurt his lip, a small cut, and it hurt a little when he drank water.

"I'm going to herd the sheep." Si Hao stood up and took a bamboo basket from the wooden beam.There are two bamboo tubes in the bamboo basket, probably for water.

Si Hao left the house, walked very quickly, and disappeared under the earthen platform in the blink of an eye.

Holding the wooden bowl, Yu Su drank the water.He lay down on the grass mud platform, stretched his arms, and put the wooden bowl on the earth niche.This niche for storing utensils is on the wall, some distance away from the Caomu platform.

Yu Su sat on the grass mud platform, doing nothing. He looked out the window and found that he could only see a forest.After a while, he lay back on the mud platform and played with the wooden crutches.

This wooden crutch is made of tree branches.Because it was made in a hurry, it was rough, but it looked very strong.

The brother-in-law and his group left, not only leaving a wooden crutch for Yu Su to travel, but also a bag of hulled grains and a half can of flour.These foods are enough for Yu Su and Si Hao to eat for four or five days.

It's just that this person's family really doesn't have a steamer for cooking, right?Yu Su was quite worried.

After Si Hao left, Yu Su found that Luoyuqiu was really quiet, only the sound of the wind.Yu Su found himself alone on the hill, feeling lonely.

How long has this person lived here?Wouldn't he be afraid alone?Won't you be lonely?Yu Su thought curiously.

Because of boredom, Yu Su unconsciously fell asleep on the grass mud platform.When he woke up, he heard bleating sheep and dogs barking.Xiaguang could be seen outside the door, it was dusk, probably the man was driving the sheep back to the sheepfold.

Yu Su sat up and looked at the fire pond, the firewood in the fire pond, and the faint fire.Yu Su thought, since he was injured and couldn't move, he should show him a fire.

Just as he was about to climb down the grass mud platform to add firewood to the firepit, when he looked up, he saw Si Hao coming in with two bamboo tubes on his shoulders and a bamboo basket in his hand.The bamboo basket was covered with lotus leaves, dripping wet.Behind Si Hao, followed a familiar black dog.It is indeed an old acquaintance, and it barks when it sees Yu Su.

Yu Su retracted her feet back to the mud platform, and sat obediently, looking at Dahei with vigilance.

Dahei was not friendly to the outsider Yu Su, and it stared at Yu Su viciously, as if it were a prey.Si Hao patted Da Hei's head with his big hand, Da Hei "let go" Yu Su, returned to Si Hao's side, poked his head into the bamboo basket, and sniffed.

Si Hao poured the water contained in the bamboo joints into the pottery, and then he stirred the charcoal in the fire pit and added grass wadding to blow it up.The fire started to burn slowly, and the dim room gradually became brighter, and the fire light illuminated Si Hao's face.

Yu Su stared at Si Hao, and noticed that this man was very handsome, with a straight nose, a nice mouth, and a pair of deep eyes.

It seems, it seems that he has seen him somewhere, inexplicably familiar.But it was impossible, they lived so far apart that they had never been seen before.

Si Hao didn't seem to notice Yu Su's gaze, he calmly took out a big fish from the bamboo basket.The big fish had been disemboweled, scaled and cleaned.

"Do you want to grill fish?" Yu Su noticed a flat stone slab on the edge of the fire pit.There is thick soot on one side of the stone slab, which is obviously used to roast food on weekdays.

On the way, Yu Su saw Tai Dong's servants grilling fish on stone slabs.

"Yeah." Si Hao didn't pay attention to Yu Su, he brought a wooden plate and put fresh ingredients on it.As if by a magic trick, Si Hao not only took out fish from the bamboo basket, but also grabbed a dozen prawns and two stalks of wild ginger.

The prawns were still alive, bouncing on the wooden tray.

"Is there any Tao Ge here? I can cook shrimp." Looking at the few lively prawns, Yu Su felt that cooking them into soup must be quite delicious.

"No." Si Hao turned his back to Yu Su without raising his head.

Yu Su guessed the same, he really only had one pottery goblet.

If it is convenient for yourself, you can find clay nearby and make a simple pottery kiln.Fire all kinds of pottery needed for daily life, whether it is pottery girdle, pottery pot, pottery beans, pottery bowl and so on.

Yu Su even had an impulse, thinking that such an empty house should have a wooden frame.It should be placed on a wooden shelf full of pottery for daily use, so that there will be no shortage of anything, and you can cook anything.

"Zi..." The plump fish fillets were placed on the slate, and the smoke rose.

Yu Su discovered that Si Hao was cutting fish with a bronze knife, which was a very exquisite bronze knife.Bronze knives are not common, and in Yu Su's knowledge, only nobles can use them.

Si Hao cut the fish into equal sizes and pasted them on the stone board.He was adept at handling knives.

The previously bouncing prawns lost their vitality by the fire.Si Hao threw them onto the stone slab and pressed them down with bamboo clips, and their bodies turned red quickly.

Soon, the slate was covered with food, including fish and prawns.

Si Hao was grilling food by the firepit, and Da Hei wandered around the room.Unknowingly, it came to Yu Su's side again, and it barked at Yu Su with no less hostility.

Yu Su looked at it helplessly, and felt that in order to live here safely for the past four days, he had to get along with a dog.

"Ji Hao, what's its name?" Yu Su called Si Hao's "name" for the first time, and he called it very naturally.

"Dahei." Si Hao raised his head to look at Yu Su this time, and found that Dahei was running towards Caoni Terrace again. He was very curious about Yu Su.

"My name is Yu Su." Yu Su said his name, he hadn't told Si Hao his name yet.

Si Hao seemed to nod his head, indicating that he understood.

"Dahei, you can't bite me, do you understand?" Yu Su stretched out a finger and tapped Dahei's head in the air.

He didn't dare to lower his hand for fear of being bitten by this vicious dog.This morning, he was almost bitten by Dahei. When the pup pounced on Yusu, his sharp teeth greeted Yusu's neck, but Yusu blocked it.

"Wow, woof." Dahei yelled fiercely at Yusu, obviously he didn't understand.

"Let's make up, okay?" Yu Su had always been very attractive to dogs in Yucheng.The neighbor's dog is willing to let him pet the dog's head, and the dog relationship is very good.I don't want to be barked and chased away by such a half-grown dog one day.

"Wow." Dahei put his front paws on the mud platform, trying to scratch Yusu.

Yu Su backed away vigilantly. He was not afraid of dogs at first, but he still had lingering fears about this vicious dog that caused him to fall down the hillside.

"Big black!"

A stern reprimand came, and Dahei obediently withdrew his claws.It obediently returned to Si Hao's side, lying on the ground, whining.

Si Hao ignored it, and smashed the wild ginger with a stone, and sprinkled the crushed ginger on the fish, which was very rough.

Yu Su thought that he didn't have a Zuban and a stone knife, so he really lived a life like a savage.I wonder how old he was when he lost his parents?And how he grew up on his own, probably suffered a lot.

When it comes to grilled fish, Yusu's family occasionally grills fish.The fish is threaded with bamboo sticks and grilled slowly over a charcoal fire.Mother Yu will put the condiments into the pestle and mortar, crush them together, then filter the residue and squeeze out the juice.The juice will be rubbed on the fish to remove the fishy smell.

Gradually, the aroma of food filled the small room.Maybe it was because he was hungry, but Yu Su felt that it was particularly delicious.

Si Hao turned the fish over to cook them evenly.

Even though Yu Su was sitting on the mud platform and watching, he still felt that the food was crispy and delicious.

The prawns on the slate were already cooked, so Si Hao sprinkled some salt on the prawns, turned them over with bamboo tongs, and took them out later.

Si Hao picked up two prawns and put them in a wooden bowl. The prawns were big enough to fill a bowl with two.Si Hao turned sideways and handed the wooden bowl to Yu Su.

The distance between the mud platform and the firepit is not far, because the house itself is small.

Yu Su took the food, feeling embarrassed.He didn't do anything to help, just sat and watched, getting nothing for nothing.

Hearing this man said today that he would take care of her, Yu Su thought it might be just talking, and the two of them were not related.Thinking about it now, he really didn't just talk casually.

Yu Su peeled off the shell of the shrimp and slowly tasted the grilled shrimp, which was quite delicious.Have to say, it was deliciously baked!Far beyond Yu Su's expectation.

After eating one shrimp and peeling the second one, Yu Su caught Si Hao's gaze.Yu Su smiled and praised: "It's delicious."

Si Hao withdrew his gaze, without making any statement, and continued to take care of the food on the slate.

After Yu Su finished eating the second shrimp, the wooden bowl was empty.Si Hao took a piece of fish and put it in his bowl.The food in the bowl was steaming hot, and Yu Su was very moved, thinking that although he didn't talk much, he was really kind.

After all the food was cooked, Si Hao served a portion for himself, and Da Hei naturally did not forget a portion.One person and one dog, sitting and eating by the firepit, quite harmonious.

Yu Su had already filled his stomach at this time. He looked at Si Hao and found that he was eating fish with bamboo chopsticks, and sometimes he would cut fish with a short bronze knife.

Yu Su remembered what Bingsou said, that many ethnic groups do not use bamboo chopsticks, and eat with their hands, knives (daggers), or spoons.Only a small number of people use both bamboo chopsticks and daggers when eating.

"Do you want more?" Si Hao thought Yu Su was looking at the food.

"Thank you for the hospitality. You are very full." Yu Su sat upright and bowed to Sihao.

Si Hao still didn't say anything, he continued to wipe out the food on the wooden plate, and there was nothing left.His appetite must be twice that of Yu Su's.

The summer night in Luoyuqiu is not stuffy, but sleeping in the earthen house, the fire in the firepit is high, and the small earthen house still feels a little stuffy.

Yu Su slept inside, and Si Hao slept outside.

Through the moonlight outside the window, Yu Su could see that the place where Si Hao slept was covered with reeds, and he had no extra mats.

At night, Si Hao changed medicine for Yu Su's injured leg.Yu Su sat on the grass mud platform, and Si Hao squatted below. He held Yu Su's feet and patiently applied herbal medicine.His technique was very light and did not hurt Yu Su.The way of wrapping the cloth strips is as exquisite as the awn, that is, it will not strangle the wound and will not loosen easily.

Yu Su was very grateful to him, and some of the previous worries had been resolved.

This shepherd boy has very good qualities. Yu Su also noticed that his behavior when eating is not like a vulgar person at all. He even has a beautiful bronze short knife.

He should not be a slave, but I don't know what his origin is.

Why do you live alone at the foot of Jiaoshan Mountain, shepherding sheep for Ren Jun?

Before falling asleep, Yu Su thought of Si Hao's ugly torn sackcloth again.He thought that although he was handicapped, he could do something within his capacity, such as helping him sew his clothes.
