I was a hunter in ancient times

After Zhou Du had eaten and drank enough, he was ready to leave Shen's house with the money. Shen Xi found a bag from the house and asked Zhou Du to accept it.

Zhou Du opened the bag, looked inside, saw several bottles and cans, and asked, "What?"

Shen Xi explained: "Some commonly used ointments, you take them back, and you can use them for minor illnesses and injuries in the future."

Zhou Du didn't like to owe favors, and pretended to give money, Shen Xi hurriedly stopped him: "You will pay more for the meal, and this is the meal money that was given to you at that time."

Only then did Zhou Du take back the money, and returned home with a bag of money and ointment.

The summer night fell late, Zhou Du walked all the way from Shen's house to his own home, the night and the sun had just collided, he raised his hand to push the door, and there were waves of soreness in his arm.

Zhou Du opened the door of the house, took off his shirt and took a look, his shoulders were scuffed at some point, and the blood oozing out had already dried up.

Reluctantly fetching a bucket of clean water to wash off the blood, she rummaged through the ointment sent by Shen Xi for a while, and found a bottle of ointment to treat trauma and applied it on to feel better.

After a day of exhaustion, his clothes were also dirty. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Zhou Du took off his clothes and washed them again. He hung them in a ventilated place in the house, got back into bed, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

At night, when Shen Xi went to Zhang's house in Xinghua Village with a lantern and a food box, people were already coming and going in Zhang's house, Mr. Zhang had already been buried in a coffin, and the mourning children and grandchildren knelt on the ground in the mourning hall.

Shen Xi directly entered the kitchen from the backyard, surrounded by three or two women who came to help, they were at a loss as to what to do, when Shen Xi appeared, all of them seemed to see a savior, their eyes lit up.

Shen Xi thought for a while, then arranged tasks for them in an orderly manner.

He himself was not idle, and he rolled up his sleeves and joined them. Nearly sixty tables of running water seats, three or five people helped, Shen Xi lowered his head, and did all the preparations from dark to dawn.

Not many people came to express their condolences in the morning, so he could have a little leisure time. He simply fried two vegetables and made a big pot of sweet potato porridge to share with everyone in the Zhang family.

Before he had eaten two bites, he saw Li Yu who was accompanying Li Sulai to express his condolences. He put down the bowl and chopsticks and pulled Li Yu aside: "Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten." Li Yu replied honestly, "My mother asked me to come earlier to help you."

"No, I was almost busy last night, you can help me with some other things." Shen Xi waved his hand, and brought out a food box full of food from the kitchen.

"Meals for master?" Li Yu asked when he saw the food box.

"No," Shen Xi shook his head, "I cooked my uncle's meal last night, and it's for Zhou Du."

It was still early in the morning before dawn, and Li Yu was about to wake up. When he heard Shen Xi's words, he woke up suddenly, his eyes widened, and he said in a nasty tone: "Xiaoxi, what are you doing to that Zhou?" Du is so caring, do you have a crush on him?"

"No," Shen Xi flatly denied, "Don't think too much about it."

Li Yu looked at Shen Xi very seriously: "I don't think I thought too much about it. The table of dishes you cooked last night were all Zhou Du's favorite food. I thought about it, no wonder you went up the mountain to deliver food to others last night." At that time, I prepared five dishes of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, were you trying to test other people's tastes at that time?"

Shen Xi opened his eyes slightly, and looked at Li Yu with a little surprise: "Really, the dishes I prepared that day were so clever? You observed so carefully, I don't even remember."

"Just pretend to be stupid." It's impossible for Li Yu, a friend of ten years, not to know Shen Xi, "Then how do you explain what happened last night?"

Shen Xi said very sincerely: "The meal last night was paid for by Zhou Du, more than 200 Wen. It just so happens that you have always wanted to eat the signature dish of Jufulou, so I made it together."

Li Yu was speechless by Shen Xi's words, and asked again: "Then why are you still thinking about delivering food to others?"

"It's not that he gave too much money for the meal last night, and I didn't have any money to give him back, and he also helped the Zhang family. If it wasn't for the wild boar he killed, I would have to go to town this morning. You It's not that I don't know the rules, funerals and ceremonies, anyone who helps out must prepare a meal, this is called coming and going."

What Shen Xi said was well-founded, and Li Yu couldn't find a point of rebuttal, so he nodded in agreement: "Well, maybe I thought too much, and I blamed you."

"Yeah." Shen Xi nodded vigorously, urging him to deliver the meal quickly.

"I'll let my family Xingwang deliver it. I'll watch the fire for you. I'll call you later if something happens. Go to sleep for a while. You've been busy all night." Li Yu turned around and stopped the kid who was playing with a bunch of kids. Xingwang handed him the food box.

After finding the food delivery person, Shen Xi was able to let go of a major matter in his mind. The feeling of exhaustion hit his body, he fell asleep again and again, and no longer tried to hold on, he found a place to take a nap.

Although Li Yu still felt that something was weird, he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he had to let go of the doubts in his heart and do the matter at hand first.

When Zhou Du woke up, it was already bright outside the window, and the laundry last night was dry.

After putting on his clothes, he re-applied the medicine on his shoulders and neck, then got up and went out to fetch water to wash up.

open the door.

There is a mahogany food box quietly outside the door.

Zhou Du was no stranger to it, he had only seen it a few days ago, and he even remembered the lines on it clearly.

Zhou Du raised his eyebrows and looked around, but didn't see anyone.

After washing up, he conveniently carried the food box back to the house. The food inside was still warm and not delicacies. There were only two plates of green vegetables and a bowl of sweet potato porridge, but the taste was not bad.

The sweet potato porridge is sweet and soft, and the two dishes of vegetables are fried crisp and refreshing.In this strange environment, it is really good to wake up and taste food that is not inferior to your own world.

but……

Zhou Du gently stirred the porridge in the bowl with a porcelain spoon, lowered his eyes, and tasted it slowly.

He couldn't bear such kindness, the other party was still a child who hadn't grown up, and he might see that he was good-looking, so he might act on a whim.

And I have never had any plans in this regard, and I can't make any promises to the other party.

So, let's call it a day.

After Zhou Du finished the last mouthful of porridge at the bottom of the bowl, he silently made a decision in his heart that he would no longer have any contact with Shen Xi from now on.

Let the fate between them begin with a bowl of porridge and end with a bowl of porridge.

only……

Zhou Du's fingertips holding the bowl involuntarily tapped on the rim of the bowl, but he couldn't help but feel a little regretful that he could never taste such food that suits his heart.

Fortunately, Zhou Du quickly thought about it, it was just some food, since Shenxi could make it, others would be able to make it, earn more money, spend some money, hire a cook back, or move The same goes for settling down in the town, so why bother.

Zhou Du, who had consciously figured it out, took out his bow and arrows idly, and went to the creek not far away.

Yesterday a wild boar earned three pennies, he felt ashamed when he saw that Shenxi owed him hundreds of Wen, and felt that the three pennies must not be a small sum, and today he stopped thinking about hunting.With nothing to do, I simply moved out the bow and arrow to clean it.

This is the foundation for him to settle down in this world in the future, and he must maintain it well.

Without conditions, Zhou Du had to dip a small piece of cloth in water, and patiently wiped the bows and arrows bit by bit, thinking that if he had time, he would ask in the village who had tung oil, and bought some for daily care.

The bow and arrow in Zhou Du's hand is a special retro bow. When it was made, its length and weight were re-made according to Zhou Du's body shape. Although it is not commonly used, it is the most handy one used by Zhou Du. a bow.

A bow and twenty arrows were wiped down, the sun had long been high in the sky, and the sun was shining all over the earth. Zhou Du sat under a tree by the stream, with the trickling stream beside him, the gentle breeze blowing by his ears, and the silence There was not a trace of noise, a little sunlight fell on his face, it was not hot, and it was so comfortable that it made people drowsy.

Zhou Du propped his elbows on his knees, supported his chin with the back of his hands, slowly closed his eyes, and took a nap.

It wasn't until the sun was getting hotter and the surrounding temperature kept rising that Zhou Du woke up from his sleep, took a handful of cool stream water, washed off the listlessness on his face, picked up the bow and arrow on the ground, and headed home.

As he walked, he thought about what to do with lunch.

He doesn't have pots and pans for the prey he hunts, so he can't do it, and even if he has, he doesn't know how to do it.

It's okay to take the money to buy some food in the village, but I don't know if I will buy the unpalatable steamed buns like last time.

He ate two of the steamed buns he bought last time, and kept one. After a few days, not only did it not rot, but it was still brand new.

As soon as Zhou Du thought of the unpalatable taste, he didn't have any expectations for the upcoming lunch, and even planned to go back and have a hungry meal before thinking about the next meal.

Returning home in a calm mood, Zhou Du immediately noticed something was wrong.

Someone at home has been here.

People in Taoyuan Village like fences, so every house has fences in front of them, and the house rented by Zhou Du is no exception.

Before he went out, the fence gate was closed outwards, which was his habit of closing the gate all along, but now the fence gate was closed inwards.

Zhou Du frowned slightly, and hurried home, found the place where the money was hidden, and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that all the money was still lying there safe and sound.

It seems that I have to buy a lock first and come back, but this earthen house is in such a remote place, buying a lock can't prevent people.

Zhou Du looked around the room.

Finally found something different in the house.

When he went out in the morning, he remembered that he put the food box on the corner of the table, but now the food box was in the middle of the table.

And the food box in the morning has a smooth wooden surface with sharp edges and corners, but this food box has a dull wooden surface and is severely worn around. One new and one old, it is obviously not a food box.

Zhou Du opened the food box as if he understood something, and sure enough, the empty food box was filled with rich food again, and the aroma was as appetizing to him as ever.

Zhou Du froze for a moment, his reason told him to be firm, but after a while, he sighed with some resentment: "One last meal."
