I was a hunter in ancient times

In the county town for the past few days, Shen Xi didn't cook much. Everyone already had a poor appetite, and now because of Shen Mu's depression, everyone had no appetite. .

Looking at Shen Mu's tightly closed door, Shen Xi was still a little worried: "No, I'll take another look."

Zhou Du stopped him and said, "Let him stay alone for a while, sometimes not disturbing is the best comfort."

Shen Mu is no longer a kid who can be fooled by just saying a few nice words, he is an adult, if he really needs someone to comfort him, he won't force a smile on them anymore.

It was because there were some things that he couldn't explain to them, and he couldn't explain to them, that he resisted not to confide.

But a person's heart is only that big, and it can't hold too many things. If it is full, it will eventually be released.

They want to leave a space for Shen Mu to vent, and it will be fine when he comes out by himself.

Shen Xi also felt reasonable after listening to Zhou Du's words. He paused when he was about to leave, and sat back beside Zhou Du again, resting his chin with his hands, with a sullen expression on his face.

Zhou Du touched his girdle, took out a candy, and pushed it from the table in front of Shen Xi.

Shen Xi stared blankly at the candy that Zhou Du pushed in front of him, and shook his head, he was not in the mood to eat candy now.

Seeing that he didn't want it, Zhou Du didn't take back the candy, instead he glanced at Li Yu, who was also sitting blankly, not knowing where he was, got up without saying anything, went to the counter of the inn, and the shopkeeper opened another one house.

Handing the house card to Li Yu, he comforted the two of them: "Let Dr. Shen be quiet tonight, maybe he will want to leave tomorrow, and don't sit here, go back to the room to rest."

"Ah," Li Yu looked at the house card that Zhou Du handed over, and then remembered that he is really not suitable to be in the same room with his master now. This means that he has not settled down tonight, and Zhou Du can replace him. He thought about it, was surprised, took the house card, and said softly, "Thank you."

Zhou Du hummed, which was regarded as an answer, and waited silently for Shen Xi with lowered eyes.

Zhou Du didn't talk much, and usually he couldn't even take care of himself, but today he went to comfort Shen Mu for the first time, and even took care of Li Yu, which was a little out of Shen Xi's accident.

Seeing that Zhou Du was by his side all the time, even though he wasn't saying anything, he felt a little relieved after feeling a little uncomfortable.

Shen Xi didn't bother anymore, picked up the candy on the table, and followed Zhou Du back to the room.

This night, Shen Xi was extremely restless, always got up in the middle of the night and looked towards Shen Mu's room.

"Sleep in peace, I'll help you watch, if there is any movement, I'll call you, okay?" Zhou Du patted his back, which was sleeping extremely unsteadily, and comforted him softly.

I don't know if Zhou Du's reassurance played a role, but in the middle of the night, Shen Xi finally closed his eyes heavily and fell asleep.

Zhou Du fulfilled his promise, got up from the bed, and watched the movement next door.

In the silence of the inn at night, there is a bit of human fireworks, even if you are worried, you are still at peace deep in your heart.

But outside the county seat at night, it was not so comfortable. On a deserted and secluded country road in winter, four big men sat on horseback, with a team of grain escorts behind them.

This group of food escort teams are all composed of peasants from the local villages and towns. They don't sleep at home in the middle of the night, but they are escorting them in the cold. There is no anger on the faces of these peasants, on the contrary, they are happy.

It's just because the four military lords in front of us have paid for these grains long ago, and they bought them at [-]% higher than the market price. After selling this batch of grains, their families can get a lot of money, and today they can have a good year .

Moreover, these military lords are generous, and they have agreed to deliver the food to the county town, and they will be paid an extra fee.

Compared with earning less than two coppers after a year of hard work, being able to get a generous reward after a night of hard work is nothing.

The civilian husband is walking with longing for the future life, and the few big men in front may not be carrying longing for life.

It's no fun traveling all the way.

The four big men chatted leisurely while holding the horses slowly: "After staying overseas for so many years, what I see every day is either the sea or the sea. Now I can see some green mountains and green waters, and I can ride horses freely. , so comfortable."

"No, I've been huddled on the boat all day. If it wasn't for going down to get a breath of air during the war, I would almost be suffocated. Now it's good to come back and see everywhere."

"There is a saying that a tree cannot cut its roots. It is well said. When I was at sea, I felt like a tree with broken roots. I couldn't find a foothold every day, and I was very flustered."

"Speaking of my heart, I also have this feeling, and I don't know how our general survived."

"The general is looking for his roots, which is different from us. Naturally, he can survive no matter how hard it is."

At this point, everyone was silent for a moment, and after a while, a man whispered authentically: "Hey, tell me, where did Madam go, I just heard people say that she went on a sea cruise, but our general I have searched the whole Western Ocean for ten years, and I have suffered so much in the process, but I haven’t found a single shadow, so maybe he is no longer alive..."

"Shut up," the leader sitting in the middle of the horseback heard this, and hurriedly gestured and said displeasedly, "This word must not be spread. After all these years, it's not that you don't know, the general will Relying on being able to see my wife again, I survived, otherwise I would have died in the battle with the Huns ten years ago. How could Daqing have such a prosperous scene today? If you destroy the general’s belief in living, let alone Qin’s army Up and down can't spare you, and the people of Daqing can swallow you alive."

Another man sighed: "Success is also the defeat of the Huns. If it weren't for the battle with the Huns, the general was seriously injured and his life was dying. After waking up, he missed the time agreed with his wife, which made his wife disheartened. The general will not take the initiative to ask for a naval battle in order to find his wife."

The man at the head recalled: "I still remember that when we first boarded the boat, we were all landlubbers. Not to mention going out to sea, few people had even been on a boat. We were seasick and sea-sick. That group of wolfish and ambitious people colluded and ran amok on the border of Daqing, controlling the sea area. The general dragged our sick bodies and us, who were not familiar with water, to forcibly fight a bloody road from the sea to raise our national prestige in Daqing. After so many years, in the sea There are countless Daqing flags inserted, and the general has made great contributions to Daqing with his own strength, and it is not an exaggeration to be named a first-rank Duke."

The other curled his lips and said, "It's just a pity that Madam has not been found yet."

"Yeah, the general is also unwilling to come back this time, but if the general continues to fight, his merits will be so great that he has to come back." The man in the lead was also disappointed.

Although they have been quite homesick overseas for so many years, after all these years, they have continued to fight with the belief that they must help the general find his wife. Now that his wife has not been found, they must come back. Somewhat awkward.

They were talking, and another person had a sudden thought: "Since there are no overseas ones, is it possible that Madam is still in Daqing?"

"It's not impossible," the man in the lead nodded, "But over the years, the general has sent a lot of people to look for it in Daqing, and there is no news so far. We can only pin our hopes overseas."

One of the four said: "After looking for Madam for so many years, I am the only one who is curious about what Madam looks like, so that our general can't forget it for so many years?"

"I don't know," the leading man shook his head, "I just heard the general say that it looks like an orchid, which is unique in this world."

The other three soldiers looked forward to it together: "It must be extremely beautiful."

"Maybe." It's about the general's wife and the future Duke's wife. The army man didn't dare to say more, so he changed the subject and said, "Let's stop talking nonsense, it's better to transport the food back to the barracks as soon as possible." Otherwise, if the general and all the soldiers return, we won’t even be able to prepare a banquet for rewards, wouldn’t it be a laughing stock?”

A soldier turned around and glanced at the civilian husbands who were honestly escorting the food behind him, nodded and said: "Don't worry, everything has been explained."

"After we go back, we will tidy up the camp. After the general is rewarded in Kyoto, he will come to garrison the capital of Shu. We have to make it better, so as not to chill the hearts of soldiers who have worked abroad for ten years."

The army man in the lead made arrangements one by one, and remembered Zhoudu and his party that they met in Baoshan County that day: "Do you still remember the young man who was shooting arrows outside Baoshan County that day?"

Someone immediately said: "Why don't I remember, I still break out in a cold sweat when I think about it now, I have never been afraid of death on the battlefield for so many years, it is because I feel that death on the battlefield is not suffocating, if that day is not The young man stopped the crazy horse under me in time, and he didn't hit anyone and made a false alarm. Otherwise, I, Lu Liu, would not have been beaten by the enemy. Instead, I was punished to death because I couldn't control the horse and bumped into someone. Isn't that right? Suffocated to death."

The leading man nodded: "That young man's archery skills are really good, and his strength is superb. We owed him last time. You said that after the general returns, how about we introduce him to the general?"

The soldier named Lu Liu said: "It's so good, such a good archery, you should do something, you can't be buried in such a way, follow our general, the general has always loved talents, and he will definitely not be wronged." he."

Another person said: "However, we still have to ask the person's wishes first. We can't just shave our heads and pick one's head. If people don't have this ambition, they have done bad things with good intentions."

Lu Liu said again: "How can this be called a good intention and half a bad thing, there is no one better than our general in Daqing."

The other three people all smiled: "Lu Liu, Lu Liu, you have been Cong Wu for a long time, so you think Cong Wu is a good thing, but in the eyes of many people, it is still the most secure to live in peace and stability, we What you think is the best may not be good for others, and you must understand that you should not do to others what you do not want to be done to others.”

The road was so quiet that only the bullock carts rolled over the road and the sound of horseshoes sounded the hearty laughter of a few people. Even the seemingly dangerous night seemed less dangerous.

Under this hearty laughter, there was a slight rustling sound from the woods in the distance, which did not attract people's attention at all.

These voices were like rattle snakes swimming through the leaves, and they came towards the group of people who were escorting the food without a single mistake.

The leading soldier didn't hold back his smile, but only moved his hand holding the rein of the horse's hoof slightly, and the three people beside him raised their eyebrows calmly.

In the inn, Zhou Du hadn't slept all night, and just as dawn dawned, there were some slight noises from Shen Mu's room.

Zhou Du quickly woke up Shen Xi who had been worried all night: "Your little uncle woke up."

Shen Xi worried all night, and didn't fall asleep until late at night, and now she was in a daze, when she heard Zhou Du's words, she sat up from the bed without thinking, put on her shoes, and ran to Shen Mu's room.

As soon as they opened the door, Shen Mu who was beside him also opened the door.

His face was pale, his eyes were slightly red and swollen, his hair was messy, and he looked in a hurry.

When he saw Zhou Du and Shen Xi coming out of the room, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked anxiously: "Have you seen Xiao Yu'er? I was confused yesterday and forgot to open the door latch. This child If I couldn’t get in last night, I wouldn’t be frozen to death.”

Shen Mu was also startled when he woke up, yesterday he was so busy being sad that he completely forgot about Li Yu, he was extremely worried, afraid that Li Yu would freeze to death by the door, so he hurried out to check.

Although Shen Mu's complexion was a little pale, her tone was much lighter than yesterday's, and she was no longer preoccupied and worried, it seemed that she had recovered.

Both Zhou Du and Shen Xi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Shen Xi directly opened his mouth to relieve his worries and said: "Little uncle, don't worry, Zhou Du opened another room for Xiao Yu'er yesterday, and he won't freeze to death."

"That's good, that's good." Shen Muhou leaned against the door in fear, feeling relieved, he was scared to death just now, if something happened to Li Yu, how would he explain to Sister Li when he went back.

After Shen Mu slowed down, she nodded slightly to Zhou Du and said, "Thank you."

"Family, no thanks."

As soon as Zhou Du finished speaking, Shen Xi walked up to Shen Mu, looked at Shen Mu's red and swollen eyes, and asked, "Little uncle, why are you crying?"

Shen Mu touched his uncomfortable eyes, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I remembered some old things, lost control for a while, and lost my temper, this will be fine."

Shen Xi is also clear about those things in the past. He secretly ground his molars and scolded someone half to death in his heart. Xi was so irritable that he moved his hands all over the place, and suddenly his fingers touched the candy that Zhou Du handed him yesterday. He took out the candy from his waist, peeled off the coating, and fed it to Shen Mu, saying: "Little uncle, some things, once they pass, they pass. There is nothing wrong in life, don't blame yourself anymore, with me in the future, your life will be as sweet as this candy."

Shen Mu sucked the sugar ball that Shen Xi handed over, looked at his crescent-shaped eyes, smiled knowingly, and rubbed the top of his head: "Xiao Tianxi, uncle knows, uncle will try to look away slowly. "

It took him ten years, but he didn't see it. At worst, it would take another ten years. Besides the past, he still had Shen Xi, so he had to find a way to get out.

"Well," Shen Xi saw the smile from the heart on Shen Mu's face again, and felt much more at ease. As soon as he felt relieved, his hands itch, and as soon as his hands itch, he wanted to cook, "Then I'll borrow it from the store." Kitchen, cook something delicious to reward everyone."

"Okay," Shen Mu happened to be hungry too, and he hadn't eaten the meal made by Shen Xi for a long time. Agree down.

Shen Xi happily ran to borrow the kitchen from the store, and Zhou Du followed behind him, and when he waved his hand, he stuffed something into his hand.

Shen Xi looked up and saw that it was another candy, and looked at Zhou Du in puzzlement.

Zhou Du looked into his eyes, and repeated his words seriously: "With me in the future, your life will be as sweet as this candy."

Shen Xi realized that this was what he had just said to Shen Mu, and Zhou Du said this to him again.

Tell him plainly that he is no longer alone, no matter when Zhou Du is behind him to protect him from the wind and rain.

He is the umbrella of the little uncle, and Zhou Du is his umbrella. They rely on each other and hold up a sky for each other, and the sky will never fall again.

Shen Xi rolled his eyes, and a small silver hook curled up at the corner of his mouth. He took the candy that Zhou Du gave him in his mouth, put his toes up, and tried his best to let his hand reach the top of Zhou Du's head, and rubbed it gently and slowly a few times. , imitating Shen Mu's tone: "Xiao Tiandu, Xiao Tianxi knows, Xiao Tianxi will take good care of you."

Zhou Du nodded slightly: "Yes."

Shen Xi went to the kitchen to cook with a full sense of self-satisfaction. Zhou Du came out of the kitchen. He hadn't slept all night and was about to catch up on sleep.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden burst of ear-piercing noise on the street at this time, which made the street that had not been lively in the early morning suddenly lively.

Many guests who were still sleeping in the inn were awakened with a start, and opened the windows one after another, wanting to see what happened.

Zhou Du went out directly from the store door, only to see the four big men he saw at the gate of the county that day appeared in front of him again.

It's just that this time is different from the last time, last time they were all dressed up and looked like a normal person, but this time it was not the case, they were like a reckless man who didn't know who ran out of that mountain, yelling on the street regardless of his image .

"Is there a doctor, come out to treat the illness!"

"Is there a doctor who gave money to treat the disease!"

"Is there a doctor, is there a doctor!"

There were four of them, two of them worked together to lift a bloody man, and the other held a few gold leaves and begged the doctor with a lot of money on the street.

In Baoshan County in the early morning, the medical center had not yet opened, and such an urgent patient suddenly came, and they hadn't reacted yet.

They just yelled a few times, Shen Mu, who had not had time to wash up, heard them looking for a doctor, frowned, walked out of the store, glanced at the wounded, and said softly: "I am the doctor, you don't want to call, come in Get it cured."

They might also be really impatient, now they heard Shen Mu say that he is a doctor, they didn't know whether it was an inn or a medical center, they just carried people in and came in.

Afraid that the shopkeeper's gossip would delay the treatment, they threw a piece of gold leaf to the shopkeeper as soon as they entered the door, and gagged his mouth tightly.

Seeing that Shen Mu was going to treat these people, Zhou Du helped carry them without saying anything, and stayed to watch some people whose origins were unknown.

After carrying the wounded into the guest room, Shen Mu did not delay, found the scissors, and cut off the clothes on the wounded, only to see that there was a horizontal wound on his abdomen, the wound was extremely deep, and the blood was seeping, and the bleeding needed to be stopped in time .

After Shen Mu cleaned his hands in a calm manner, he found a few medicine bottles that he had brought with him for self-defense, first stopped the bleeding, and then took out needle money to suture.

Perhaps it was Shen Mu's deft movements that convinced them that he was a doctor, and after they were relieved, they had the energy to look at this place.

Seeing that this was an inn, they couldn't help being taken aback, and then they saw Zhou Du who was waiting quietly at the side, relaxed and said, "Brother, it's you."

Zhou Du looked at Shen Mu who was concentrating on saving others, and nodded towards them.

One of the three men said: "It's really a fate, you saved us twice."

"Once," Zhou Du moved his lips, pointing at Shen Mu, "the other time he saved you, it has nothing to do with me."

Although Shen Mu and the others didn't know each other, they still had some impressions. They were with Zhou Du that day, and they said indifferently, "It's all the same. Anyway, you are all together, and whoever saves is saved."

Zhou Du agreed with these words, nodded slightly, then couldn't help frowning, looked at these people and said: "Your fate is not very good."

In just two days, two disasters happened. This is no longer a pity to describe life as bad, it can be said to be bad luck.

Zhou Du's tone was really gentle, if it wasn't for the sake of the two saviors, the three soldiers would beat him up.

But now that he has saved his life, everything is easy to say: "Hey, that's not true. There is a saying, it's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided. It's not that Lu Liu just escaped a part this time. Here we go again, thank you for your help, otherwise he would have died in hell this time."

Zhou Du saw that the four of them were all strong and strong, and they didn't look like the kind who would be easily injured, so he couldn't help asking, "How did you get this injury?"

There is nothing to hide about this matter. If they don't say it now, it will spread throughout Baoshan County in two days. The three men did not hesitate to tell the truth about the matter: "This is not, Baoshan Niuhong Mountain outside the county lived a gang of bandits who robbed the common people of food. This Niuhong Mountain had a complex terrain. If people who were not familiar with it entered the mountain, they would be dizzy. We are not familiar with the terrain, and we also need food, so we resorted to a trick to lure the snake out of the cave, trying to find out the details of Niu Hongshan."

"Who knew that these bandits were quite well-trained. They didn't look like ordinary bandits at all. My brother was injured in the melee, so we had to give up the food and bring people back for treatment."

Zhou Du grumbled coldly, and said truthfully, "That is to say, you failed to lure the snake out of the cave, and even frightened the snake."

Three soldiers: "..."

Why did this man stab people in the mouth when he spoke?

"Not really, at least we managed to insert a few nails into them. As long as we can find out the exact location of these bandits, everything will be easy to talk about." I found a place.

After Zhou Du heard this, he didn't say anything more, and wished them well: "I wish you all the best."

Three soldiers: "..."

I always feel that he is not blessing, but gloating.

At this time, Shen Mu also just healed Lu Liu, and his forehead was slightly sweaty. He wiped the sweat with his sleeves nonchalantly, and said to the three soldiers: "You carry him to a clean and tidy place." The place, the inn is too messy, it is not suitable for patients to recuperate, and it is not conducive to wound recovery."

Seeing that Lu Liu was rescued, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief in unison. After listening to Shen Mu's instructions, they all nodded and said, "Okay, thank you doctor."

Shen Mu went to the side to wash off his bloody hands, shook his head and said, "It's nothing more than a little effort."

What's more, this group of people is also for the purpose of suppressing bandits, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. It is his bounden duty to save the dying and heal the wounded.

After listening, the leader fulfilled his promise and took out a few gold leaves from his bosom that he had just held in his hand, and directly handed it to Shen Mu, saying: "Doctor, this is the consultation fee."

Shen Mu looked at the gold leaf in his hand, was silent for a moment, and then refused: "It won't cost so much, let's save the money for the patient's treatment, he has lost a lot of blood, buy him more supplements."

"It's okay," the leader said very generously, "this gold leaf is not worth mentioning compared to his life, and it's worth it to exchange the gold leaf for his life. Anyway, my master is here, and I lack everything. It’s just that there is no shortage of gold leaves, and when he recovers from his injury, he can earn more gold leaves by doing meritorious service for the Lord.”

Although Zhou Du didn't know how much a piece of gold leaf was worth, he thought it would not be lower than silver. These few pieces must be worth a lot of silver, which is quite a change.

Are bandits making so much money now?

The author has something to say: Ping’an: It’s not about suppressing bandits to make money, but because I’m rich (ㄊ咱⒏ eyes)
