Major General Through the Upper Gate

The hunting team went out of the mountain when the first autumn rain fell. On the day they went down the mountain, they carried a black blind man, which attracted people from the whole village to watch.

Everyone who entered the mountain this time was full of praise for Gu Xijiao, and they all said that this person was not only big but also had exceptionally good hands and feet.Although this kid can't track the traces of beasts, as long as none of the prey he is eyeing can escape.

Gu Xijiao came back dripping wet. When he opened the door, Cheng Wei just came out of the kitchen. When he saw him coming in, he said, "I boiled the water, and I put the clothes inside. Go in and take a shower."

After staying in the mountains for half a month, my whole body stinks.

"Okay, you keep this first." Gu Xizheng took out a small cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Cheng Weihou, then lifted the curtain next to the kitchen and went in to take a shower.

Surprisingly, there was a large wooden bucket in the compartment, half of which was steaming hot, with a scoop beside it, and a beige thing under the wooden shelf for clothes.

Gu Xicheng touched it, his hands were slippery, and when he rubbed his fingers, some fine foam appeared.Presumably this was specially prepared by Cheng Wei for him to take a bath.

Thinking that it was the first time for him to take a bath in the house after being in this other world for so long, and the treatment was so high-class, General Gu was suddenly elated.

It really makes sense that Xiaobie is better than a newlywed or something.

Cheng Wei who was outside the curtain naturally didn't know Gu Xijiao's state of mind at this time, he shook the small cloth bag, and when he heard the jingling sound, he knew it was silver.He opened it and saw that there were three ingots of silver and one piece of five taels of broken silver, and the rest were four strings of Wen coins and a small string of copper coins.

Before Cheng Weiwen could make a sound, he heard Gu Xijiao's voice coming from the rushing water, saying, "The hunting team converted everything I hunted alone into silver and gave it to me."

The bear was hunted by Gu Xizheng alone. During this hunt, he alone hunted two wild goats, a stag, a wild boar and the black bear.He doesn't count the rest that he hunted in partnership with other people.

In fact, if you calculate it carefully, Gu Xizhen is at a loss. It is more than 30 taels of silver for the black bear alone, let alone several other big prey.

Gu Xizheng said to the leader of the hunting team: "I only want this much. I want a tusk for the bear. I want a leg and [-] catties of meat for the killed wild boar. If there is any leftover, I will give you money." Divide it equally among the others."

The leader of the hunting team in the town was surnamed He, and his name was He Guan. He stroked his short beard and nodded in praise: "The first time I saw you in the town, I thought you were a good kid, but I didn't know that you were so righteous." , the old man was right after all, what a pity!"

It's a pity that he has not yet concluded a contract with him. It is really unfavorable to think that there is another brother under the name of his cousin of the same clan.

Cheng Wei listened to Gu Xizheng's story in a few words, and looked at the silver in his hand a little silently.

He knew what Gu Xizhen meant, and the villagers treated him kindly. They knew that he would bring danger to Tonghua Village, but they were still willing to let him live in the village. There is resentment towards the people in Tonghua Village.

After all, the people from Yunjing Country were attracted by his younger father. Although he didn't know the reason, he really had the love of Tonghua Village.

Gu Xicheng took a comfortable bath, Cheng Wei was not in the room when he came out, a small half of meat and a wild boar leg were placed on the chopping board in the kitchen.

Cheng Wei took a bamboo hat and went to his uncle's house in the drizzle. There was a total of twenty catties of meat. He cut a piece and gave it to Wei's father's house, and put one piece in a basket to take to his uncle.

This time, the two families didn't go up the mountain, so he shared some.Because the weather is still hot in autumn, it is raining and the water is so abundant that it is impossible to make bacon, so it is a pity to keep it and spoil it.

After the matter was discussed, his uncle no longer spoke sarcasticly to him as before. Although he was not warm yet, he could at least say a few words.

That night, there was a smell of fried meat in Tonghua Village.

The hunting team and officials left Tonghua Village the next day. At the beginning of October, Tonghua Village entered a season of autumn rain and cold.

The field of Gu Xijiao and Cheng Wei was plagued by pests. They worked hard for several days, and at night they lit lamps to catch insects in the field. Wei Dongliang also helped to watch for several days, and the situation was brought under control.

Due to the problem of the seedlings in the two acres of paddy fields in his family, the headings were uneven at the time, half early and half late, and now they were stung by insects for a little bit, making them look even less energetic.

Fortunately, Cheng Wei didn't force it, after a few days, it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Cheng Wei's birthday was on that day.

"We haven't been to the town for a long time. The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days. Let's go to see it tomorrow and buy some things for the festival." Cheng Wei bit off the end of the thread while sitting in the main room while talking.Gu Xicheng's clothes were scratched in the mountain suit, so he took out a needle and thread to mend it while it was raining.

Gu Xizheng was lying on a bench fiddling with an enlightenment book on Tonghua Village. He nodded when he heard Cheng Wei's words, and after a pause, he suddenly said, "When the rice is harvested, I want to build a new one on the other side of the slope. house."

Cheng Wei who was threading the needle stopped, he raised his head and looked at Gu Xizhen in a daze, unable to speak for a moment.

"Don't think about it. It's not good for us to live in the center of the village now. There are too many people. Let's move to a place next to the mountain." Gu Xizheng put down his book, sat up and rubbed Cheng Wei's head.

Cheng Wei has long black and straight hair, and Gu Xizhen has become a bit addicted to touching it recently.It's strange to say that he has been in another world for so long, but his hair hasn't grown at all.

"But..." Cheng Wei hesitated.He understood what Gu Xijiao meant, but if it was just the two of them, if the people who came to arrest Gu Xijiao were together with those who came to arrest him, and the two of them lived far away, it might be too late to call someone.

"Don't be afraid." Gu Xizheng leaned over and kissed him on the cheek as he said, his expression was stable, he didn't look like he was unsure, so Cheng Wei nodded.

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is going to be celebrated, there are a lot of people going to the town on this market day.Cheng didn't think about what his uncle said a few days ago, after some hesitation, he finally went to the shop to have the red cloth cut.

"I don't know what you want this red cloth for?" The shopkeeper in the store was a little dad, and he asked him with a pair of scissors.

"...It's for hanging on the door by deed." At this time when the shop was crowded, Cheng Wei turned his head and whispered in front of the people.

"It's a happy event, there's nothing to be embarrassed about!" The shopkeeper laughed, and he quickly opened a roll of festive red cloth and said, "My brother who buys red cloth from me is happy and has many children." Blessed! Take it, congratulations!"

In the end, Cheng Wei took the cut cloth and ran away with a blushing face. When he didn't have any thoughts about Gu Xijiao before, he could still tell him without shame that he would have a child with his surname or something.

Now that he knows what he wants, he can't stand a single ridicule from others.Cheng Wei gritted his teeth and slapped himself on the face, and then went to the front to find Gu Xizheng after he had settled down. He had just sent Gu Xizheng to buy chicken in the West Market.

"Buy it?" Cheng Wei asked him.

"Ah."

"Here, we still need to buy something, please help me carry it for a while."

The two met in West Market, and Cheng Wei went to buy some flour, and then bought some spices to go back. He planned to ask Wei Xiaopa to help him make some mooncakes.

What surprised Gu Xizheng the most was that Cheng Wei pulled a piece of dark blue cotton back from the town this time, and made a new set of clothes for the two of them.By the way, he also sewed a pair of underwear for him with soft fabric.

Finally, Gu Xijiao, who finally ended the embarrassment of being in neutral, caught Cheng Wei and kissed him several times, which made Cheng Wei, who was already a little embarrassed, exploded all over and almost threw his fist at him.

On the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cheng Wei woke up and asked Gu Xijiao to take a red cloth and hang it on the gate, and then lit three incense sticks and stuck it in front of the gate.

After the two of them had breakfast, they changed into new clothes. Cheng Wei tied a red headband on his hair, because Gu Xijiao's hair was too short, and Cheng Wei tied the other around his wrist.

The two of them took the sugar they bought at the market that day and began to distribute it from door to door. Cheng Wei deliberately carried a small basket to go out. In the basket was also a basket full of red dates and pumpkin seeds fried by himself with spices.

The two of them walked around Tonghua Village, and when they came back, the baskets were also full, filled with lotus seeds, peanuts, longan and other things given by each family.Cheng Wei was so embarrassed that he almost threw the basket out, but Gu Xijiao finally brought it back.

At night, Cheng Wei moved the table to the yard and put the chicken on it.There was a plate of moon cakes next to it, and rice wine was poured into three porcelain spoons.

Cheng Wei lit the incense, pulled Gu Xijiao and bowed down.

"Bless my ancestors, my father, my younger father, and my younger brother are all safe and sound." In the fragrant mist of green smoke, Cheng Wei closed his eyes and said silently in his heart: Please also bless me and Gu Xicheng grow old together.

After the worship, Cheng Wei untied the red rope on his head, tied it together with the one on Gu Xijiao's wrist, and burned them together in the brazier.

In this way, the ceremony is considered complete.

Cheng Wei looked at the embers of fire, he turned his head slightly to say something, but caught Gu Xizheng's gaze unexpectedly.

The person kneeling with him happened to be looking at him, with a gentle expression and deep eyes, as if his prayer just now had been heard by this person.Cheng Wei couldn't help but blushed, and just as he was about to bow his head, the corner of his mouth was covered by Gu Xizheng who came closer.

He closed his eyes, finally closed them, and kissed in the faint light of dusk.
