When Shen Mu and Li Yu saw Zhou Du coming out of Shen Xi's room with their own eyes, they couldn't help but widen their eyes in horror.

"This……"

"You... last night..."

"Sleep sleep... sleep together??"

Li Yu was directly surprised by his stuttering disease, his tongue was not straightened when he spoke, and he kept repeating.

Shen Mu also looked at Shen Xi with a puzzled expression.

"No, no, no, no, no...no." Shen Xi also imitated Li Yu's way of speaking and replied.

After hearing this, Li Yu recovered from his stuttering: "Then why did he come out of your room?"

Without waiting for Shen Xi's explanation, Zhou Du took the initiative to say: "Stay overnight."

Shen Xi also nodded: "It was when I finished shooting wild boars in the morning, I saw him stay up all night before letting him stay overnight."

"Okay," Li Yu looked at Zhou Du's calm face, and then saw that Shen Xi didn't look guilty at all, and believed this explanation.

Shen Mu asked Shen Xi again: "Why didn't you say it in advance?"

"Forgot," Shen Xi smiled embarrassedly, "I originally said to make breakfast and call him, but I forgot in the process of dealing with these two wild boars."

Indeed, since I got up in the morning, I have been seeing Shen Xi circling around the two wild boars, and I have never seen him stop.

The two of them were very relieved about Zhou Du and Shen Xi's character and age, they nodded without any suspicion, stopped paying attention to this matter, turned their heads and looked at the cauldron in the yard.

Zhou Du also noticed the cauldron at this time, and the pork jerky that was about to be cooked was being roasted in it.

"It's almost ready, let's try it." Shen Xi used a large shovel to stir fry evenly from side to side, and when there was no moisture, he scooped some dried meat out of the pan with the shovel.

Shen Mu and Li Yu, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't wait to pick up a piece of jerky to taste.

Seeing this, Zhou Du also picked up a piece of dried meat.

The jerky made by Shenxi is five-spice, not spicy but full of fragrance, chewing slowly, full of meaty flavor, it can't be more delicious.

Zhou Du finished chewing one piece slowly, and couldn't help but picked up another piece.The beanbags were so anxious that they spun around Zhoudu's feet.

Zhoudu didn't bring it to bed today, it got stuck in the crack of the door and slept.

After finally waiting for Zhou Du to wake up, Zhou Du didn't take it with him when he ate jerky. It struggled, circling around and biting its trouser legs, trying to attract attention.

Zhou Du caught a glimpse of it, remembered that this jerky was made for bean buns, and said to Shen Xi, "Give it a waste."

Shen Xi blinked, laughed briskly, put down the big shovel in his hand, pointed to a big jar beside him and said: "Of course it's not for it to eat, that's what's in it."

Zhou Du picked up another piece of jerky and chewed it slowly in his mouth. He walked over and lifted the lid of the big jar.

There is a can full of ready-made jerky, the workmanship is not as exquisite as his, and there is no seasoning. If I have to say one advantage, it is a large amount to keep you full.

Zhou Du randomly picked up two pieces and threw them to the bean bag. The bean bag jumped up happily, took a bite, dragged it aside and slowly tasted it.

After feeding the bean buns, Zhou Du cleaned his hands aside, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the village chief Chen Qingshan leading a group of people coming.

Zhou Du was tall, and the flowers and plants in the Shen family's yard couldn't cover him at all. Chen Qingshan had seen Zhou Du from a long distance, and now seeing Zhou Du also saw him, and smiled at Zhou Du.

After Zhou Du nodded to him, he stepped over and opened the Shen family courtyard door for him.

As soon as Chen Qingshan entered the gate of Shen's house, he said immediately: "We came back from the town, passed by your house, and saw that the door of your house was closed, and guessed that you were here, so we had to bring someone over here."

"Uncle Qingshan." Seeing Chen Qingshan, Shen Xi greeted everyone, and quickly shoveled a spoonful of dried meat over to greet everyone.

Chen Qingshan took Shenxi's dried meat, and smiled again: "If I knew your family was making this, we would walk slowly and not come to eat."

Shen Xi knew that he was joking, so he also laughed and said, "I'm also a loafer, and it's all thanks to Zhou Du."

Chen Qingshan laughed, and while eating the jerky, he said: "That's right, without Zhoudu, none of us would be able to eat this jerky, and even told the wild boar to pick up the food."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze back to Zhou Du again, and beckoned the people behind him to bring in two sacks, then took out a cloth bag from his arms, and said, "This is the money for selling wild boars in the town. There are a total of 12 taels, and the sack contains a little heart from the village, and they are brought to you together, you order."

Zhou Du took the money from Chen Qingshan, and he clearly felt the hiss of the villagers following behind to see the excitement.

In this backward and barren mountain village, it is difficult for ordinary people to earn a few taels of silver, let alone a dozen taels.

Zhou Du earned so much all of a sudden, it was inevitable that he would feel jealous and jealous, and his heart would turn sour.

Although Zhou Du earned the money from hunting wild boars for them, they certainly wouldn't say anything on the surface, but in private it was still necessary to make arrangements.

Zhou Du didn't want to cause trouble, he didn't want to be criticized for nothing, and he didn't want to cause disaster. He didn't have any foundation in this small mountain village, so he could only suffer.

So as soon as the money was in his hands, he immediately handed it back to Chen Qingshan: "I also ask the village chief to help buy a house in the village."

Seeing Zhou Du handing over the money again, Chen Qingshan was taken aback for a while, and then hearing what he said, he immediately came back to his senses, and readily agreed: "Okay."

He really admired Zhou Du's flexibility and solved the hidden dangers caused by money in an instant. He also cooperated and said: "After buying the house, he will be a member of our Taoyuan Village. We have to work harder in the future. Save money to build a house and buy a few acres of land. You are poor and have nothing now, and hunting is a job that hangs your life on your belt, so it is better to save more money."

Chen Qingshan's words instantly awakened some villagers who were dazzled by jealousy.

That's right, although Zhou Du earned a lot of money, he didn't have any foundation in Taoyuan Village.If you want to buy houses and fields, you don't know how much money you will spend.

Looking at the dozen or so taels of silver he earned this time, he didn't save a penny.It will be difficult to meet wild boars next time. Without wild boars, I earn some copper coins by hunting pheasants and hares all day long. When will I be able to save enough money for a house?

And they were born with houses and fields. Thinking about it this way, they would not be able to earn money like Zhou Du, but they were much richer than Zhou Du.

Immediately, the imbalance in his heart disappeared without a trace, and he even vaguely sympathized with Zhou Du in his heart.

People say that people who leave their hometowns are cheap, and Zhou Du is an example of such people.After leaving his hometown, so what if he has all the skills, and in the end he has to start all over again.

Besides, he is not young anymore, and when he saves enough money to buy the land, he will become an old bachelor, and it is hard to talk about marriage, and in the end, his life is not as good as that of peasants like them.

Thinking about it this way, why are they still sour, and live their lives well, adding two more people to the family and two acres of land in the coming year is better than anything else.

Sensing that the surrounding atmosphere gradually calmed down, Zhou Du nodded slightly to Chen Qingshan to express his gratitude.

Chen Qingshan waved his hand quietly, expressing his indifference.

Seeing that many villagers came again, Shen Xi gave some jerky out with a wink: "Uncles and aunts, Zhou Du invited you to eat jerky, try them all."

"Hey, then we won't be polite." At first, everyone didn't want to take advantage of this, but Chenxi's jerky was so delicious that they couldn't help wiping their hands on their clothes, and each of them picked up a piece of meat Dry, savor slowly.

As the saying goes, people who eat people have short mouths and short hands, and those who were jealous of Zhoudu before will eat Zhoudu's jerky, lose their temper completely, and become enthusiastic one by one, saying to Zhoudu: "From now on you But we are from Taoyuan Village, so don’t be shy if something happens in the future, just ask someone in the village to help you.”

"Yeah, we are all in the same village. We should take care of each other. Don't be embarrassing. You are the one who suffers."

"Other things may not be of much help to you, but we have never been afraid of such strenuous work."

There was a lot of chatter in the crowd, and there was a lot of chatter. Among them, there were some who agreed with hypocrisy, but there were also sincere people.

No matter what it was, Zhou Du nodded in response.

He has never been enthusiastic, and everyone doesn't care.

Chen Qingshan saw that Shenxi had given away a lot of dried meat, patted the powder on his hands, and said to Zhoudu: "I will arrange your homestead for you as soon as possible. If there is no real matter, I will leave first."

If we stay any longer, Shen Xi's pot of jerky will not be able to keep.

Shen Xi said politely: "Uncle Qingshan, why don't you stay and have dinner before leaving?"

Chen Qingshan waved his hand: "No, your aunt has cooked dinner at home and is waiting for me."

Hearing what he said, Shen Xi stopped persuading him to stay, and wrapped a pack of jerky in oiled paper and stuffed it for him: "Bring some back for my aunt to try something new."

Chen Qingshan weighed the oiled paper bag and found that there were not many, so he accepted it with a smile: "Okay."

As soon as Chen Qingshan left, the other villagers felt embarrassed to stay any longer, and dispersed from Shen's house one after another.

As soon as they left, everyone in the Shen family breathed a sigh of relief. Except for Shen Xi, everyone was not very good at dealing with the complicated interpersonal relationships in the village.

After Zhou Du waited for everyone to disperse, he looked at Shen Xi and said, "When did I say to invite them to eat dried meat?"

"Oh, it's wild boar meat that you don't want anyway, so don't worry about it," Shen Xi moved away, moved to the two sacks brought by Chen Qingshan, and asked, "May I see what the village gave you?" ?"

Zhou Du didn't care: "Look."

Shen Xi opened the sack and gasped: "It's actually wheat."

Zhou Du raised his eyebrows: "What?"

"It's nothing." Shen Xi shook his head and explained, "Our Taoyuan Village is backed by mountains, and the land is very prone to weeds. It is not suitable for growing wheat, and there are very few people who grow it."

In the village, there are only two sacks, which are estimated to be about five hundred catties. Five hundred catties of wheat are ground into flour, and almost three to four hundred catties of flour can be produced.

Three or four hundred catties of flour are worth a lot of money to sell.The villagers said they didn't treat Zhou Du badly, and they really didn't treat him badly.

When Zhou Du heard it, he understood what Shen Xi meant, nodded, and did not speak.

"What are you going to do with this wheat?" Shen Xi knew that Zhou Du's family didn't even have a pot, not to mention a mill, and they would only have the fate of being gnawed by mice when they brought it back, so he asked this question.

Zhou Du didn't even think about it and said, "I'll see you off."

Shen Xi was stunned, Zhou Du was someone who refused to borrow money before, but today he not only gave him a wild boar, but also gave him so much wheat, it was so generous that he couldn't believe that the person in front of him was from before. Zhou Du felt his unstoppable heartbeat, and asked again: "Really?"

"Really," Zhou Du said without thinking again, "I really gave it to you and then made it into something to eat and sent it back to me."

Shen Xi: "..."

The author has something to say: Shen Mu: "I am very relieved of you."

Shen Xi: "...I'm actually not at ease."

Zhou Du: "...I'm not very relieved either."
