Dihao's civilian life

Since moving to Luoyuqiu, as long as the weather is fine, Si Hao will sleep outside.He likes the sky full of stars, and also likes the night wind blowing.

Before night falls, Si Hao will block the only passage to Luoyu Hill with a wooden fence, so that there is no need to worry about wild animals running up the hill.When I first came to Jiaoshan, I encountered wild beasts wandering outside the house several times at night, but they were all chased away by Si Hao brandishing a torch.

Si Hao was not without fear, it would be fine if it was a jackal that broke in, and even a big wild boar once.The sudden attack in the middle of the night knocked down the door of his house.

After discovering Luoyuqiu, Si Hao decided to move, and made wooden fences with sharpened wooden pillars to prevent wild animals from invading.Luoyuqiu was like his city, and he saw its "easy to defend but difficult to attack" at a glance.

Lying on his back on the pile of reeds, Si Hao still didn't want to fall asleep, he looked at the stars in the sky.Si Hao always felt that they were actually regular and could form a certain shape.The starry sky can always give him a lot of reverie, with endless mystery.

In Renyi, Si Hao and his cousin Ren Jia received Ji Bing's teaching together.Ji Bing once told them that the ancient emperors had the ability to observe phenomena and tell the time, which was also one of the talents of the ancient emperors when they ruled.

Tonight, because of the stars, Si Hao remembered such a thing.When he came to Jiaoshan, he seldom thought of his life in Renyi.

The life in Jiaoshan is desolate, lonely, and earthy gray; while the life in Renyi is colorful, bright and vivid.

Si Hao left from the memory, looked up at the deep sky, the little stars, and felt a chill.Si Hao turned around and lay on his side. He looked at the dim light coming from the room, which was the spark from the fire pit.

I don't know if the person in the room is asleep?

He said his name was Yu Su, with a smile on his face.At first he thought that he broke his leg, and his partner left him again, so he must have been very melancholy and resentful.

Speaking of taking care of him, Si Hao didn't think about how to take care of him at the time, but this person was injured by Dahei, and he was responsible, so he had to bear it.

Being used to living alone, suddenly there is someone more around him, Si Hao feels a little subtle.

After Si Hao fell asleep, Yu Su was still awake.The whining wind outside and the howling of wild animals from nowhere made it difficult for Yu Su to sleep.Yu Su missed his family and friends in Yucheng, as well as his comfortable dormitory.

In the past, I was blocked by my mother, unable to go to many places, and always wanted to run outside.This trip is really worth a trip, and I am homesick again.It's a strange thing, longing to travel at home, longing to go home while traveling.

When Yu Su was under the communal tree, in the firelight, he listened to the legendary stories told by Bingsou.He jotted down place names, landscapes, and magnificent historical sites.I thought that when I grew up, I would have to see it with my own eyes, and I thought that he would also be like Bingsou. When he was old, he would become a storyteller surrounded by a group of listeners.

Yu Su stared blankly at the little sparks in the fire pond. These sparks seemed to have turned into bonfires under the community tree, dancing in front of his eyes.Yu Su fell asleep like this, half asleep and half awake.

This sleep was not very solid. Before dawn, Yu Su woke up. Yu Su lay still and saw Si Hao tiptoe into the room.Si Hao checked the firepit to make sure that the flames were not extinguished.He added a few pieces of charcoal to the firepit, and covered part of the charcoal with sand to reduce its burning speed.

After finishing these, Si Hao went to fetch things from the grass box.He took out his clothes and left without changing them on the spot.

It was still early when Si Hao left, and Yu Su wanted to sleep for a while, but there was no sleep at all.He simply sat up and stared at the door in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, but the sky gradually brightened.When Yu Su saw Si Hao enter the house carrying a bamboo tube, he went to fetch water, but it was not as simple as fetching water.Si Hao's hair was wet, and he had changed into clean clothes. He had obviously taken a shower.

The set of clothes that Si Hao changed was also washed white and tattered.The sleeves made of rough linen are almost worn out into tassels.

Si Hao leaned the bamboo tube against the stone, and went to the niche to get a wooden plate.He doesn't have much tableware. This is the wooden tray he put the fish on last night.

He took another small bag from the beam, opened the sack, and poured out the flour.

Flour, most of Yusu's family kneads into balls and puts them in a clay pot to make steamed noodles.The steamed noodles made by Mother Yu are filled with bean paste.The dough can also be eaten as a noodle soup, with vegetables and meat.

What is he going to do?

Yu Su watched curiously, watching Si Hao pour some water into the flour, add some salt, and knead the dough.After kneading the noodles, Si Hao lit up the fire in the fire pit.He moved out the slate that was used for the barbecue last night, and set the slate on the fire.

"..." Yu Su felt that his injured leg was a drag, otherwise he would have to make a pottery 鬲, and go to the mountains to collect poultry eggs and wild vegetables to make a pot of hot noodle soup for himself and Si Hao.As an injured patient, Yu Su couldn't do much to help, she could only watch and worry.

Si Hao put the dough on the slate, rolled it out with a round wooden stick, and repeated the process, and put three doughnuts on the slate.

Yu Su thought, doesn't he eat grilled fish and scones every day?

Seeing that he cherishes the flour very much, every little bit is scraped off with bamboo chopsticks, and it is probably not often that he can eat flour.

Yu Su knew that the people who had the best life were usually planters who could store a lot of grain.He didn't know that the life of the herdsmen was very difficult, and Si Hao, who had flour to eat, was already living well among the herdsmen.

Three flatbreads with only salt added were burnt under high heat.Si Hao shoveled them off the stone slab—using a bamboo shovel, and put them on a wooden plate.

Si Hao shared a bread with Yu Su, and Yu Su took it and said thank you.Yu Su was growing up, and he was hungry when he woke up.

Holding a burnt black bread, Yu Su gnawed and thought: The bag of corn and half a can of flour that her brother-in-law left them had no kitchen utensils, so they had to bake them.Flour can be roasted with water, but how can corn be roasted?Also worried.

With warm water, Yu Su gnawed on the burnt dough.What I tasted was a bitter taste.The noodle cake was thick and filling, and Yu Su felt that he couldn't eat half of it.Looking at Si Hao, he has already settled one and a half of the pie, and gave Dahei the other half of the pie.

Dahei ate the dry biscuits, and because he had food, he "dismissed" Yu Su and stopped barking at him.

"Ji Hao, I'm full, here's a piece for you." Yu Su broke off a piece and handed it to Si Hao.Yu Su thought, he has a bigger appetite than himself, and he has to work, so he should eat more.

Si Hao looked at Yu Su, but didn't go to pick up the cake, he said, "You keep it."

They eat two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening.Si Hao always felt hungry at noon, if Yu Su only ate this little, he would definitely go hungry at noon.

Yu Su put away half of the pancake, and seeing Si Hao getting up to leave, Yu Su asked him, "Ji Hao, can you help me cut the knotted bamboo? You don't need thick bamboo, but small ones are fine."

There is a clump of bamboo near the house, and it is very difficult for Yu Su to cut them down.

"Yeah." Si Hao turned and left without asking the purpose.

Not long after, Si Hao brought a piece of tender green bamboo.He put the bamboo under the grass mud platform, within Yu Su's reach.

"Thank you." Yu Su picked up the bamboo, broke off a small section of bamboo, and skillfully peeled the bamboo skin with a stone knife.Si Hao stood aside, watched for a while, and then left.

When Yu Su heard the bleating of the sheep outside and the barking of Dahei, she knew that Si Hao had gone to herd herds.

The stone knife splits the thin bamboo tube and sharpens both ends of the bamboo tube.It has to be cut continuously, thinner and thinner, until it finally looks like a bamboo stick.Yu Su put the bamboo on the grass mud platform, polished it smooth, and then cut a circle of grooves on the head of the bamboo stick.This series of actions, the process is quite slow, it is a test of patience.

The needles are usually bone needles, or even wooden needles.Si Hao doesn't have any making tools at home, not to mention using them immediately, bamboo needles are easy to get, and making them is the most convenient.

Yu Su's hands are very skillful. He made a bamboo needle and made a pair of bamboo chopsticks out of bamboo.

In Yucheng, holding Taodou and spooning the food in Taodou into their mouths is the way most people eat, but Yu Su occasionally uses chopsticks.

At noon, when Si Hao came back, Dahei was not behind him, and Dahei stayed in the pasture to take care of the sheep.

Si Hao was holding a piece of clothing in his hand, it was the clothes he changed this morning, and it had been dried.As soon as he entered the house, he found that the bamboo material had been used, and the remaining materials were scattered on the ground. On the grass mud table, there was a pair of bamboo chopsticks, something like a bamboo stick.

"Ji Hao, give me your clothes, and I'll mend them." Yu Su picked up the "bamboo stick" and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"You know how to sew clothes?" Only then did Si Hao know that it was a bamboo needle.

"Yeah." Yusu nodded.

Si Hao was quite surprised, he glanced at the torn clothes in his hand, and handed them to Yu Su casually.There are some things that Si Hao is very good at, but there are some things that he is not good at. The thing that Si Hao is least good at is probably sewing clothes.

"I need to trouble you, give me the hemp rope on the beam. I'll take it apart and use it as a thread." Yu Su pointed to a circle of hemp rope hanging on the wooden beam. He had missed that hemp rope for a long time.If it weren't for the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he would have brought it over and dismantled it into threads.

Si Hao raised his hand to take off the hemp rope and handed it to Yu Su, who watched curiously.

Yu Su dismantled the hemp rope and tied the filament around the head of the bamboo needle.If there is an antler drill, Yu Su is naturally willing to drill a hole in the bamboo needle, it is more convenient to use, but there is no.

The needle and thread are all ready, Yu Su smoothes Si Hao's clothes, twists the needle and draws the thread, and sews and mends.He is a meticulous person who sews with small stitches, one stitch after another, and his technique is smooth.

Si Hao sat aside and watched Yu Su mend his clothes. He paid attention to this young man named Yu Su, who looked very pretty.He has long, luxuriant black hair, a slender body, and beautiful eyebrows and eyes. He sits sideways on the mud platform with his head slightly lowered, concentrating on the needlework in his hands, quiet and beautiful.

Seeing him touching his clothes with his white fingers and concentrating on sewing for himself, Si Hao felt a strange feeling.

Yu Su sewed the collar, then the sleeves, and finally the cuffs.Yu Su picked up the clothes, observed carefully, and confirmed that there was nothing else that needed to be mended, and then he returned the clothes to Si Hao.

Si Hao took it, took off the shirt she was wearing without thinking, and put on the sewn clothes.He unceremoniously handed the torn jacket to Yu Su, and asked Yu Su to sew it up without saying a word.

When Si Hao took off his shirt, Yu Su had sharp eyes and noticed that there was an oval white stone hanging around his neck, which seemed to have patterns on it.Si Hao quickly put on his clothes, and covered the necklace tightly with his collar, but Yu Su didn't look carefully.

Yu Su kept busy, threading needles and mending tattered cuffs.Si Hao kept watching, showing no intention of leaving.

After mending the second piece of torn clothes, Yu Su folded the clothes and put them on the straw mud table.Yu Su raised his head, his gaze was fixed on the lower garment that Si Hao was wearing.

The lower part of the garment was split from the lower leg, and there were several holes on the surface of the garment. It was really ugly, and the clothes were ragged.

Si Hao understood, he simply took off his lower garment and stuffed it to Yu Su - of course he was still wearing something underneath, with a strip around his waist to cover his knees.

Yu Su avoided staring at Si Hao's thighs, he lowered his head and focused on the mending of this tattered lower garment.

"Here, it's done." After a while, Yu Su returned the lower garment to Si Hao.

Si Hao took it and put it on immediately.He looked calm, he didn't feel any embarrassment in wearing only strips to cover his knees, and he didn't even feel inferior to his poor and tattered clothes.

The clothes were put on Si Hao obediently, it was still the same rough old clothes, but it looked much neater.Even if he is wearing cheap clothes, this man is also very handsome.Yu Su thought that if he changed into decent clothes, he wouldn't know what his appearance would be.

Just a thought flashed, and suddenly a figure appeared in Yu Su's mind, it was a man wearing a beaded crown and a black robe.Yu Su touched her forehead, thinking it was a strange association.

"You are so skillful." Si Hao stroked the straight collar and looked at Yu Su.This man not only knows how to sew, he can also make bamboo needles.

Suddenly being praised, Yu Su smiled shyly.In fact, most people can sew clothes and make needles.This is really a very common skill, and children should learn it.Yu Su thought that the reason why Si Hao couldn't do it was because he lost his parents when he was young, so no one taught him.

Si Hao cleaned up the scattered bamboo materials, he collected them, threw them into the firepit, and burned them directly.He has a little broom tied with reeds, and he sweeps up all the debris on the ground, and cleans up the ground.

No wonder his hut is so tidy. Although his clothes are tattered and unsewed, he looks sloppy, but he is not such a person.After his tableware is used, it will be put back into the soil niche, and the grilled stone slabs will be scraped clean with bamboo strips.Such living habits also proved that he was not born as a slave.

Si Hao changed into the sewn clothes, but did not leave immediately. He boiled water by the fire pit, and he drank a bowl of hot water before leaving.It seems that he does not drink unboiled water, which is also an intriguing thing.

Watching Si Hao leave, Yu Su thought, it would be great if there was a small clay pot with two ears, which could be filled with hot water and hung around her waist.In this way, he doesn't have to go home to boil water to drink because he is thirsty.

How could he be so poor that he only had one pottery goblet?His bronze knife can be exchanged for several pieces of painted pottery, and the ornament on his neck is white and transparent. If it is real jade, it is quite valuable.
