I was a hunter in ancient times

Zhou Du grabbed the chestnut in Shen Xi's hand, and quickly withdrew, but the touch that gently brushed against his ear still left a lingering warmth.

His slightly cool lips accidentally brushed against Shen Xi's hot fingertips, and even his lips seemed to be burned.

Zhou Du put the chestnut in his lips, and he was not willing to swallow it, as if he could relive the temperature of Shen Xi's body for a moment longer.

After a while, he chewed slowly, savoring the sweetness of chestnut blooming at the corner of his lips, then rolled his throat and swallowed.

Seeing that he finished eating, Shen Xi smiled and asked, "How does it taste?"

Looking at his smiling face, Zhou Du couldn't say anything harsh, so he could only say dryly, "Not bad."

"It's not bad, let's eat more," Shen Xi peeled a few more and stuffed them into Zhou Du's hands, before saying, "I've seen them, these chestnuts are all wild, they are very precious, eat two more Only then can I be worthy of my hard work in the Meng Mansion for so long."

Zhou Du didn't want to pick it up again, but after hearing what Shen Xi said, he felt reasonable.

This Meng Sui didn't know what to say clearly, causing Shen Xi to toss about his wedding banquet for a long time, trying his best to heal his face and almost getting beaten, eating a few chestnuts from him is really not bad.

So Zhou Du stretched out his hand to pick up the chestnut that Shen Xi put in his palm with peace of mind and started to eat one by one.

When he was quietly eating chestnuts with his eyes downcast, he never saw the smile on Shen Xi's lips.

The hustle and bustle outside continued, and the two nestled in the stove with the crackling flames in the firepit, even if they didn't talk, they didn't feel lonely and deserted.

The firelight melted their figures together, as if they were one.

This lively wedding banquet did not end until night fell, Meng Sui took people to the bridal chamber, and Shen Mu was able to be relieved.

Xu Shi was cured of a strange disease after many years, and met with a wedding night in the bridal chamber, Meng Sui was so happy for a while, he dragged Shen Mu to thank him all night, and made Shen Mu drunk.

In the end, Zhou Du and Shen Xi carried him back to the room together.

"Safe... come back early... I'll wait..."

The drunken Shen Mu kept babbling a few vague words repeatedly, Zhou Du acted as if he didn't hear it when he heard it, helped him back to the room, then left the room, and waited silently outside.

Shen Xi took off Shen Mu's outer shirt, roughly wiped his face with a handkerchief, and finally covered the quilt and left the room.

Seeing Zhou Du who was still guarding outside, he smiled: "It's okay, my little uncle usually doesn't drink, he's too strong to drink, it will be fine when he sleeps through the night."

Zhou Du looked at his smile, didn't explain anything, hummed, and walked back to the bedroom with him slowly.

The bedroom looked the same, with one bed and one floor bunk.

Zhou Du lit candles around the room, washed up lightly, and was about to lie down in his bed.

Shen Xi sat by the bed, holding a pot of tea in one hand and a teacup in the other. Seeing that Zhou Du was going to sleep under the covers, he didn't know whether it was on purpose or on purpose. The water dripped down on Zhou Du's quilt.

"Sorry, my hands are shaking."

Shen Xi looked at Zhou Du apologizing, but he didn't take back the teapot that was pouring water in his hand, and just let it keep pouring out water, soaking Zhou Du's bedding until it wet a lot.

The weather was getting colder, and the floor where Zhou Du slept was already damp, and the bedding would get wet again, making it impossible to sleep at all.

Zhou Du looked at Shen Xi in silence for a moment, his teeth and claws flashed in his eyes, saying that I did it on purpose, how arrogant you can make me be.

Zhou Du took a deep breath, neither scolded him nor said anything about him, turned around and was about to step out.

The huge Meng Mansion doesn't even have extra rooms, he can spend a night anywhere.

However, Shen Xi was one step ahead of him to stop him, and said with a smile: "I wet your bedding, so don't sleep on the ground, come sleep on the bed."

"No need." Zhou Du moved away the gaze that could not help but fall on his face, and said coldly, "I'll just find a room and deal with it."

"It's so late, where do you go to find it?" Shen Xi pointed to the night outside, "Besides, others may not be able to accept you lighting so many candles in the house."

Zhou Du frowned, that's true.

Shen Xi said again: "Currently the only place in the whole Meng Mansion that hasn't fallen asleep yet and still has candles lit..."

He smiled inexplicably as he spoke, leaned closer to Zhou Du and said softly, "There's only Meng Sui's bridal chamber. Could it be that you want to go to his bridal chamber to lay a bed on the floor?"

Seeing that his words became more and more outrageous, Zhou Du frowned and said, "Nonsense."

"Yes, yes, let me just talk nonsense." Shen Xi coaxed without being angry at all, with a low eyebrow, "then you will wrong me tonight, old man, and sleep with me, a villain who is talking nonsense and messing around for a night. Ok."

Zhou Du had nothing to do with Shen Xi, he remained silent for a moment, and didn't answer, but went straight to the bed and took off his coat bit by bit.

Use actions to express default.

Shen Xi knew it would be like this in the end, a successful smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, he stopped drinking the water, put the teapot on the table, ran back to the bed quickly, and then undressed and went to bed.

Before Zhou Du could wait for him to go to bed, he quickly lay down on the bed, tucked in his own corner of the quilt, and completely dispelled Shen Xi's thoughts: "One and half, no crossing the line."

Hearing Zhou Du's words, Shen Xi was about to pull away the quilt for a while, looked at Zhou Du who was slowly closing his eyes and was about to sleep, and asked, "Zhou Du, are you a child?"

Zhou Du was about to close his eyes when he was interrupted by his question, and he asked in confusion, "What?"

"Only children play this kind of trick that can't cross the line." Shen Xi simply didn't lift the quilt, and got off the bed directly, and walked around to the edge of the bed where Zhou Du slept.

An ominous premonition filled Zhou Du's heart.

really.

After Shen Xi walked to his bedside, she grabbed the corner of the quilt that he had tucked in with her hands, and squeezed into his quilt with one arched body, breaking into his embrace recklessly.

Zhou Du moved back, and roared at him slightly angrily: "Shenxi!"

"What's the matter." Zhou Du moved back, and Shen Xi chased after him and lay down in his arms, not giving Zhou Du any chance to breathe.

Zhou Du looked at the person lying in his arms with a headache: "You..."

Shen Xi unceremoniously pulled his arm and put it under her head, leaned on his chest, covered her ears with her hands and said: "You talk about yourself, I can't hear it anyway."

Zhou Du felt that his whole head was going to explode, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything, as if someone had strangled his neck, making him unable to breathe and at the same time unable to move.

Shen Xi waited for a while, before Zhou Du opened his mouth, and before Zhou Du pushed him away, he relievedly took off his hands covering his ears, nestled in Zhou Du's arms and refused to go out.

Zhou Du pressed his temples with his fingertips, not knowing what to do with this brazen child.

Shen Xi didn't care about Zhou Du, pulled the quilt to cover himself and cover Zhou Du by the way, he stretched out his hands to wrap around Zhou Du's waist, put one leg on Zhou Du's, nestled in Zhou Du's arms and closed his eyes : "I'm tired, I'm asleep."

After speaking, he really fell asleep.

Zhou Du looked at the person in his arms who hugged him tightly like an octopus: "..."

Zhou Du could tell that Shen Xi was really tired, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen asleep so fast, just as he was about to reach out and push his hand away, he paused.

Forget it, anyway, it's not the first time I've been hugged to sleep by him, so let him go.

Zhou Du lay down, resting his chin on the top of his hair, the arm that was pillowed by Shen Xi also bent slightly to protect him tightly in his arms, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

He didn't see, the moment he fell asleep, the corner of the lips of the person leaning on his arms slightly bent.

The next day, because the wedding banquet in the Meng Mansion was over, Zhou Du and Shen Xi got up early, waiting for Meng Sui to wake up and settle the money before leaving.

Maybe it's because there are no elders in Meng's house, or maybe it's because the bridal chamber last night was really exhausting, Meng Sui didn't get up until morning.

Shen Xi, who had nothing to do, had to take some melon seed snacks that were not used up at yesterday's wedding banquet, and Zhou Du went to the yard to listen to the servants of the Meng Mansion chatting.

"Have you heard that Liushu Village was attacked by wolves and killed many people?"

"Ah! I don't know when it happened."

"It happened a few days ago. At that time, our house was busy with the wedding banquet. I also heard it from the guests who came to the house yesterday."

"It not only killed people, but also injured many people. There are still many wounded lying in the hospital."

"How did you know."

"I went to the clinic yesterday to fetch medicine for the young master and saw it."

"No one cares about this group of animals. This time it's Liushu Village. What if it's another village next time?"

"Why not? The office has already posted a notice calling for hunters to suppress wolves. I heard that a wolf will give five taels of silver."

"Then the hunters out there are crazy, hunting a wolf worth our monthly money for a year or two."

"How is it possible? Those hunters are not stupid. If you want to earn this money, you have to have this life. As long as you kill one of the wolves, you must be prepared to be killed by a group of wolves. Don't make money by then. On the contrary, I took the lives of my family and children into it."

"It's true, but without Orion, what will the wolf do?"

"What to do, wait for someone from the county to come. The people in the office must have reported it. There is really no way at that time, and someone from the county will definitely come to solve it."

"..."

He does not mean that.

Zhou Du's hand holding the teacup moved slightly.

On this trip to the county, he bought a mule for six taels, and bought some other odds and ends. The 28 taels of silver in his hand are now only 20 taels.

In winter, it is not easy to go hunting in the mountains, and next spring we have to leave some time for the prey to breed.

With this little money in his hand, there is no problem in getting through the winter, but if he wants to build another house in the beginning of spring tomorrow, it will be a little stretched.

He may try to suppress wolves.

Meng Sui didn't wake up until after noon, and Shen Mu also woke up staggeringly at that time.

Shen Xi hurriedly brought Shen Mu sober tea, he felt better now.

Because the wedding banquet went well this time, with a big wave of his hand, Meng Sui not only gave Shen Xi 20 taels for the wedding banquet, but also gave Shen Mu 20 taels for face treatment.

It costs 40 taels as soon as you make a move, and she spits out Shenxi's good words as if she doesn't want money: "I wish Mr. Meng and his wife a happy marriage, raise eyebrows, embrace each other until old age, and love each other..."

Meng Sui yelled to stop, he was afraid that if Shen Xi continued talking, he would have to pay another tipping money.

Afterwards, Shen Mu explained some face-saving matters to Meng Sui, and the three of them left the Meng Mansion together.

Because of having a mule, Shen Xi didn't have to worry about renting a car anymore, and he happened to have money in hand, so he suggested: "Let's go to the carpenter's shop and buy a cart to put the mule on and go back to the village."

Shen Mu's head was still dizzy, he had no objection, everything was centered on Shen Xi.

But Zhou Du said: "You go back first, I have to go to Liushu Village."

Shen Mu and Shen Xi both asked him, "Are you going to hunt wolves?"

Zhou Du hummed without explaining.

Shen Xi said without thinking, "I'll go with you."

Shen Mu looked at Shen Xi in surprise.

Zhou Du also looked at him with a little surprise.
