I babysit for ghosts

Xiaoliang, this is Aunt Lin of Lincun. She wants to tell you about her marriage. Look? "

Yuliang gave Aunt Lin a nonchalant glance, "Aunt Lin, I have no intention of getting married yet, please go back."

Aunt Lin was unhappy when she heard this, "Hey? You child, what you said is not right. Marriage has always been decided by your parents. Besides, you are sixteen and haven't gotten married yet. Are you planning to wait until you are 20?"

Yu Liang frowned slightly, and there was a bit of disgust in his eyes, "When I get married is my business, and it's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks here, if you have nothing else to do, please leave."

Aunt Lin twisted her veil and stared, as if she didn't expect to be treated with such an attitude, she was also furious for a moment, "I came to protect you with good intentions, what kind of attitude is this? Given the conditions of your family, you think Is it easy to find yourself?"

Yuliang completely lost the patience to deal with it, so he went to the cowshed with a sullen face and continued to dump his own old cow.

Seeing this, Aunt Yu was also very helpless, and she had a few bad words with Aunt Lin, which didn't calm her down, and before she left, she gave Yu Liang a hard look, and said something vicious in her mouth.

When Qin Xiao saw him coming back, the two of them sorted out the fodder in silence, but such a small matter was finished in a short time. In order to break the awkward atmosphere, Qin Xiao asked casually, "Little Liang, you two got married so early. .”

Knowing that he didn't mean anything malicious, Yuliang explained softly, "The early ones were thirteen or fourteen years old, and the late ones were fifteen or sixteen years old. Those who grew up with me already have children."

... What a terrible world!Thirteen or fourteen years old and just graduated from primary school, right?

There were still only a few dishes on the dinner table in the evening. After half a month of eating, Qin Xiao’s mouth had already faded. As the head of the family, Uncle Lin’s injuries have improved in the past half a month, but he can only walk a few steps on the ground. , Most of the time, I still have to rest in bed, and most of the money I earn from selling Lingzhu is used to buy medicine.

Swallowing the very hard pancake, Qin Xiao wondered if his esophagus would be calloused. He took a sip of the soup and made a decision in his heart.

After dinner, Qin Xiao went back to the room early. Speaking of which, he also admired his adaptability. He has lived in this place without any electronic equipment and without the Internet for half a month. Personal hygiene is a bit difficult. There is no bathroom here. Aunt Yu’s attitude of keeping a distance from Yu Liang makes it difficult for him to take a bath shirtless in their yard. I came back after taking a bath in the creek in the woods, but I also gained something because of it.

The stream water in the sacred forest is very different from ordinary water. After each wash, he can always feel that the breath in his meridians is moving more smoothly.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, through the dilapidated window, you can see the full moon hanging high in the sky. Qin Xiao groped in the neckline for a moment and pulled out a thin chain with a pure black bead in the middle. He rubbed the bead with his fingers, He was in a trance.

There was no candle in the room, and Qin Xiao didn't like the dappled and dim light brought by the candlelight. A faint voice from not far from the window interrupted Qin Xiao's thoughts.

Aunt Yu's hesitant voice came, "...how about going to see her?"

"Mom, you should know better than me who she's talking about. That's ignorant mud. It's disgusting to look at someone with a fat head and big ears. Are you sure you want me to marry this kind of person?"

"But... you are not young anymore. I discussed it with your father at night, and he also said that he can take a look. After all, in our family's situation, we can't get as high as we want."

The breeze brought Yu Liang's cold snort, and Qin Xiao heard his tone worse than before, "What's wrong with our family? Isn't it because there are no monks? Can't live without monks? I have been hurting my father every day. We can go to mow cars and sell fodder for money, and we didn’t starve to death.”

After a while, Aunt Yu's disappointed voice came, "There is really no other way, otherwise your father and I would not agree to let you go out to show your face. Your father will get better soon, and you must get married when you grow up." Yes, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to find something like this.”

There was a bit of annoyance in Yu Liang's words, "Mom! I have hands and feet to support myself and you, why do I have to marry?"

"Nonsense," Aunt Yu was also anxious, "You are a brother. If you don't get married, do you want to guard us for the rest of your life? Finding a reliable husband is the most important thing."

"I can marry someone, but it must be someone I like. If you want me to marry that disgusting man, you might as well kill me!"

It didn't take long for the two to break up unhappy. When Qin Xiao heard the sound of opening and closing the door, it must be that Aunt Yu had returned to the house.

Their conversation stayed in Qin Xiao's mind for a while, but he still couldn't understand it clearly. Why did he understand every word, but couldn't understand it together?Yu Liang's marriage is not a marriage, but a marriage?Also, Langjun and brother are not distinguished as immature but have other meanings?

Early the next morning, when Yu Liang opened the door of the wooden house to get off the tree, he saw Qin Xiao standing under the tree and looking at him with a smile.

"Morning, Xiaoliang." Qin Xiao waved to the boy on the branch in a good mood.

Yu Liang quickly climbed down and asked a little puzzled, "Why are you so early today?"

Yu Liang basically got up at dawn every day, while Qin Xiao basically didn't come out of the room until he was about to tidy up.

"Have a day off today, how about we go do something else?"

"Something else?"

Qin Xiao put his arms around his shoulders and walked towards the cowshed, "Where did your father hunt before, take me to see."

Before the young man could reply, he felt his subordinate's body stiffen. For some reason, Qin Xiao suddenly remembered the conversations he heard last night. He glanced at the young man's unnatural expression and immediately let go of his hand, pretending to go naturally. Pull the side trailer over.

According to Yuliang, the reason why there are no animals in the sacred forest is because the sacred tree will occupy all the nutrients in the soil, and will not grow any other plants except for the companion creature of the spirit bamboo, so the ecosystem there is different from that of ordinary forests. The difference is so great that no animal wants to be there anymore.

The mountain the two of them went to was located in the southwest of Yu Village. Yu Liang said it was called Qiming Mountain, and it took about half an hour to walk there. Villagers from several nearby villages usually came here to hunt.

The mountain range is long but not steep. Yu Liang parked the ox cart to a relatively hidden place at the foot of the mountain and led Qin Xiao up the mountain with a hatchet and a simple bow.

Although some places here are different from the original world, they are generally similar. For example, the animals in the mountains have only subtle differences in appearance.

Before he reached the mountainside, he heard movement from afar. Qin Xiao signaled Yuliang to stay still. He looked left and right, picked up a few small stones and held them in his hand, and quietly walked a few steps over there, watching The moment the small animal in the grass came out, Qin Xiao's hand was like lightning, knocking it out with one blow.Yu Liang behind him was going to pick it up when he saw this, but was stopped by Qin Xiao, the grass over there moved again, the two waited for a moment, and suddenly an animal that was much larger than the one just now sprang out. Kind of like a wild boar.

Yuliang was startled and immediately picked up the hatchet to block in front of him, and said loudly, "It's a boar, it's very fierce!"

Qin Xiao glanced at him, took a step towards him to block him behind him, and quickly struck Zhongshan pig in the eye, and took the hatchet from Yu Liang's hand when it was howling and running wildly. , slowly approached and found the right opportunity to slash its vitals.

Yu Liang, who was behind him, walked over quickly to look at the boars and pheasants on the ground, and then at Qin Xiao, with a look of disbelief.

Qin Xiao picked a large leaf and wiped off the blood on the hatchet, and met Shang Yuliang's gaze, he chuckled, as if he had seen Shen Tu with such eyes not long ago, and he didn't expect to see Shen Tu so quickly. It was his turn.

Adult-sized wild boars are enough to eat for a while, and there is no refrigerator here, so they can't store too much.When it was time to carry it, Yuliang wanted to go with him, but Qin Xiao looked at his thin body and handed him the pheasant. Although the wild boar was heavy, he could still lift it, but it was too big to carry it. Simply trap the limbs with ropes and drag them behind.

If someone had told him a year ago that you could not only kill a pig weighing hundreds of catties with one stroke, but also bring it home, he would definitely think that person had mental problems, but now he has not only done it, but also very relaxed.

After putting the wild boar in the shed of the bullock cart, Yuliang seemed to have recovered a little bit. He didn't expect that the first time he came to hunt with him, it would be over so quickly, and he even shot such a big wild boar!

Yu Liang's eyes lit up and said authentically, "Brother Qin, it's getting late now, we have to hurry to the market, maybe we can get a good price before the morning market is over."

Qin Xiao paused, and said with some amusement, "I'm not going to sell it for money, I'm going to eat it at home."

Yu Liang's eyes widened slightly, and he said in surprise, "Eat it by yourself? What a waste! This boar can be sold for three hundred dollars, which is worth several spirit bamboos!"

... This kid really only has money in his eyes. Shaking his head, Qin Xiao took a step back and said, "Then we'll sell half and keep the other half. There are so many boars in this mountain, it's easy to hunt again."

Yuliang didn't quite agree at first, but when he heard the second part of his sentence, he immediately nodded, "Okay, then we will come every day from now on."

...Did he just dig a hole for himself?

When I came out early in the morning, I only ate a pancake. I haven’t eaten meat for more than half a month. When I saw the pheasant, Qin Xiao started to swallow his saliva, and he couldn’t wait to go back.
