I was a hunter in ancient times

Zhou Du didn't expect his last meal to last for three days.

For the past three days, Shen Xi delivered him meals in the morning, afternoon and evening without interruption.

He noticed that the delivery person was a child.If Zhou Du was still awake and the door was plugged in from the inside, the child would put the food box in front of the door; if Zhou Du’s door was half-closed, the child would enter the room and put the food box on the table, and Take empty food boxes.

Zhou Du looked at the food box in front of him with a complicated expression, knowing that this could not go on like this, Shen Xi could use the child to come and deliver food to him, but he couldn't just accept it with peace of mind all the time.

I have to find a way to make it clear with Shen Xi.

This time, even if it makes Shen Xi cry, he still has to cut off this vague line of ambiguity.

Now that he decided to make it clear, Zhou Du didn't want to owe them anything. The food expenses for these three days must be paid to them. In addition, because the food was prepared with care and deliciousness, Zhou Du also planned to pay an extra fee.

So on the fourth day, when the sky was still only a little dim and the morning dew was still condensing, Zhou Du set foot on the road up the mountain with a bow and arrow on his back.

At the foot of the mountain, in Taoyuan Village, Wang Mei's family also got up early.

Early in the morning, Wang Mei did not get up as usual to make morning meals for the whole family. Instead, she dug out a half-worn pink gown from the bottom of the press box and put it on, took out a comb, and sat in the courtyard. She spread her long hair, combed it carefully, and arranged a matchmaker's head for herself. Finally, she took out a piece of red paper from somewhere, moistened her lips, and pressed it lightly on the red paper. I took a picture in the bucket full of water and smiled with satisfaction.

Her son Wang Dazhuang sat silently on the threshold early in the morning, watching her dress up without saying a word.

When the sky was getting brighter and Wang Mei was about to go out, Wang Dazhuang said reluctantly, "Mother, can you not go out today?"

Wang Mei adjusted the corners of her clothes, and when she heard her son's words, her happy face instantly turned into fury: "My mother doesn't go out, and the whole family drinks northwest wind. Do you think your mother is a matchmaker because your wings are hardened?" Are you ashamed?"

Wang Dazhuang was yelled at by Wang Mei, his head was a little dazed, he was stunned for a long time before realizing that he had said something wrong, and he took a long time to explain: "Mother, I didn't mean that."

Wang Mei put her hands on her hips and stared at Wang Dazhuang angrily: "Then what do you mean?" It looked like if Wang Dazhuang couldn't explain well, she would treat him to fried pork with bamboo shoots today.

Wang Dazhuang has a stupid mouth and a not very flexible head. He usually looks silly when he looks at it. Wang Mei glared at him, panicked, and began to speak incoherently: "Mother, don't go out, don't go out to be a matchmaker."

Wang Mei felt angry when she heard it, and was about to explode, Wang Dazhuang finally cleared her thoughts, and said dully: "Mother, don't go out to be a matchmaker for Xiaoxi."

After Wang Mei understood it, the anger in her heart gradually dissipated, knowing that her son hadn't given up on Shen Xi, she put down her hands on her hips, restrained her temper, and said earnestly: "Son, mother knows you like Xiao Xi, not only You, most of the boys in Taoyuan Village like him, and even some kind-hearted people in other villages entrusted me to make Xiaoxi for them. But this liking has to be consensual, right? What he likes about Xiaoxi is Girl, mother can't force someone to be a matchmaker, can't she? They are all from the same village, if mother does that, no one will find mother as a matchmaker in the future."

After Wang Mei finished talking, she saw that Wang Dazhuang didn't make a sound, and she didn't urge him. She sat with him on the threshold and said, "Our family is not a wealthy family. In the past two years, you have to say goodbye, and the house at home should also be repaired." It has been repaired, and I have to buy a lot of things. The harvest in the field is only enough for daily chewing. Life is easier, so mother can't lose her job, can you understand?"

After Wang Mei finished speaking, Wang Dazhuang was silent for a long, long time, and then said "um" in a low voice.

Seeing that Wang Mei had figured it out by herself, the expression on her face immediately changed from cloudy to sunny. She stood up and patted the dust that didn't exist on her body: "It's getting late, mother is going out now, you will leave the house later. Cleaning up, the family who matched Xiaoxi today has three daughters, and the three sisters will come to our Taoyuan Village later, and when they finish seeing Xiaoxi, Mother will invite them to drink and rest at home. Let's see if there is anyone you like, my mother will go matchmaking for you."

Wang Dazhuang didn't respond, he shrugged his head, looking listless.

Wang Mei didn't think much of her son's appearance, so she spat: "You idiot, you don't have a wife, you just wait to be single."

Without waiting for Wang Dazhuang to respond, he stroked his hair with the palm of his hand, adjusted the corners of his clothes, and put on a wide-eyed smile on his face again, and walked out of his house without looking back, and went around to Shen's house at the end of the village.

"Doctor Shen." Wang Mei saw Shen Mu arranging medicinal materials in the yard from a distance, and called out with a happy face.

Shen Mu turned around and nodded to her with a smile: "Sister-in-law Wang."

Wang Mei responded, looked around, and asked, "Doctor Shen, Xiaoxi is not at home."

Shen Mu evened out the medicinal materials in the dustpan, gently moved them to the drying rack in the yard and put them away, walked to Wang Mei, opened the fence door, and talked to Wang Mei: "Xiaoxi, he went to Xinghua Village to work in Zhangli It's been a long funeral, and this meeting should be back soon."

"That's good," Wang Mei heard and came back quickly, she relaxed, and said with a smile: "Dr. Shen, when Xiaoxi comes back, let him clean up. The three sisters of the Liang family will come to see him today."

Shen Mu shook his head: "The three sisters of the Liang family?"

Wang Mei hurriedly explained: "It's the three golden flowers of Liang Gui's family in Daotian Village. This time, it was Liang Zhuhua, the eldest son of their family who met Xiaoxi. The two sisters were worried that she would go out alone, so they came with her."

Once Wang Mei explained it like this, Shen Mu knew who it was. Liang Gui in Daotian Village gave birth to three girls, Liang Jinhua, Liang Yinhua, and Liang Zhuhua, who were famous in eight villages in one fell swoop.

When he went to Daotian Village to treat people, he saw these three girls from a distance. They were indeed born well, and because of the triplets, other people paid a lot of attention to them. Is a good reputation, never had a bad reputation.

Shen Mu nodded in satisfaction and smiled: "Please worry about it, Mrs. Wang."

Seeing that Shen Mu was satisfied, Wang Mei brushed her hair triumphantly: "I'm just trying to spread the word, not to mention bothering, as long as Dr. Shen likes it."

Shen Mu shook his head and smiled: "It doesn't matter if I like it, Xiaoxi has to like it. Xiaoxi doesn't have parents, so we don't talk about parental fate in our family. He lives the rest of his life by himself. Marriage also needs his own nod."

"That's the reason." Wang Mei didn't quite agree with Shen Mu's point of view, but she still had to earn Shen Mu's matchmaking money, so she nodded in agreement.

Fortunately, Shen Mu didn't want Wang Mei to agree with him, and after chatting for a few words, he changed the subject.

"Oh, I still have to go to Daddy Village to pick them up. Doctor Shen, I'll leave first. Remember to ask Xiaoxi to clean up." After chatting for a while, Wang Mei had something to do, so she said goodbye to Shen Mu.

Shen Mu sent her out of the hospital, stood at the intersection for a while, but did not see Shen Xi coming back, turned around and told Li Yu who was studying herbs in the courtyard, "Xiao Yu'er, go to Xinghua Village and call Xiaoxi back, I'll be there with Uncle Hua." It’s enough for one person to go to the doctor, and the guests come to the door, you two must entertain them well, and you can’t be negligent.”

After Shen Mu explained, he felt relieved about Shen Xi, went into the house without doing what he thought, picked up the medicine box, and went to the neighboring village.

After Shen Mu left, Li Yu put down the herbal medicine book in his hand, arranged the herbs again, closed the door and fence gate, and then went out to look for Shen Xi.

After Zhou Du went up the mountain, because he wasn't in a hurry, he didn't go to the deep mountain, so he just wandered around the periphery.

If you encounter a passing prey, you will hit it, if you don't, you will follow the fate.

I don't know if today's luck is good or bad. I didn't meet a pheasant along the way, but I met a lot of gray rabbits.

Since the last time he beat a wild rabbit and dissected it, Zhou Du kept away from creatures like wild rabbits, and he didn't want to smell the fishy smell that made him sick.

However, today's luck is really bad, except for wild rabbits, I didn't meet other creatures.Zhou Du had no choice but to take out a few arrows from his quiver and hunt a few wild rabbits casually.

Creatures like rabbits reproduce quickly, and Mount Fen is very suitable for them to survive. Zhou Du didn't even bother to find them, and he hunted more than a dozen fat wild rabbits in a short time.

They were all bound together with tough weeds, and the smell of blood and the smell of the rabbits intertwined to form an unpleasant smell.

Zhou Du was afraid that the smell of blood would attract other creatures, so he carried the bunch of wild rabbits towards Taoyuan Village at the foot of the mountain.

A dozen or so rabbits were not heavy, and Zhou Du pulled the wound on his arm after lifting it for a while.Although the injury was not serious, Zhou Du didn't want to squander his body wantonly. After a little thought, he threw the wild rabbit in his hand on the ground and dragged it away by the tied vines.

This really made it a lot easier.

It's just that the wild rabbits that were still somewhat fluffy were dragged all the way down the mountain by Zhou Du, the outer fur was worn out, and there were blood oozing out, which soon stained the rabbits bloody.

Zhou Du didn't think there was anything wrong with dragging it all the way to Shen's house.

Seeing that the fence gate of Shen's house was closed tightly, Zhou Du knew it was because there was no one in the house, so he couldn't help frowning.

He has come to Shenxi's house several times and has never met his family members, and he doesn't know about the fact that he delivered meals to himself these days, the family members know all about it.

The reason why Zhou Du hunted so many hares today is because he wanted to repay Shen Xi’s favor, and he also hoped that Shen Xi’s family would take care of this pile of prey if Shen Xi secretly gave him food without telling his family. For sake, don't embarrass Shen Xi.

He wanted to explain clearly to Shen Xi's family in person, but there was no one in the Shen family.

It would be troublesome to drag so many wild rabbits back, Zhou Du still kept them inside the fence gate as usual, and he would come to explain after Shen Xi's family returned.
