I was a hunter in ancient times
Chapter 90 Search
Last night, the two of them played until late at night, and Shen Xi got up from the bed tremblingly the next morning.
Zhou Du hugged him and rubbed lightly a few times: "Sleep a little longer."
Shen Xi still had something to do, so he gently pushed Zhou Du a few times: "No, I have to get up and cook the bottom of the pot."
Meng Sui just waited for him to make the bottom of the clear soup so that he could go back to the county town, he couldn't be lazy and waste time.
Hearing what Shen Xi said, Zhou Du, who was still a little sleepy, immediately got up from the bed, looked at his legs worriedly: "Aren't you tired?"
Shen Xi squeezed his leg, and gave Zhou Du a bad look: "It's still a little weak, it will be fine later."
Zhou Du sized him up a little, probably because he didn't see fatigue or other discomfort on his face, he got up and got out of bed, opened the closet for clothes, and took out a set of clothes for him.
I changed the set last night, and it was already dirty when they had a good time playing.
Probably because he is young and has a strong ability to adapt. After being tortured by Zhou Du once, Shen Xi has already adapted well this time. After getting dressed, he went to the kitchen to cook like a normal person.
Zhou Du withdrew his worried eyes, and after he went out, he tidied up the room and took out the clothes that the two of them had soiled last night to wash.
There was a well in the yard, and Zhou Du didn't hesitate to look far away, took a small stool and sat in the yard to wash clothes.
When washing clothes, Zhou Du couldn't help laughing. Before this, he didn't say that he was washing clothes, even if the clothes fell on the floor, he would bend down to pick them up.
Now doing laundry, cooking, and housework, everything is done in a decent way. The strange thing is that he doesn't feel too uncomfortable. On the contrary, he quite enjoys this kind of life that becomes more and more personal.
Perhaps what he has always yearned for is this kind of ordinary and ordinary life, but he has never taken it seriously.
When Zhoudu was washing clothes, he always felt that there was something missing around him. He habitually looked towards the feet beside him, but he didn't see the familiar figure who always loved to cling to him in the past. He frowned slightly and searched around the yard. its figure.
Searched around and couldn't find it.
Zhou Du became a little anxious for no reason, got up and searched every corner of the room, but after still not finding it, he walked to the kitchen of Shen's house.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw some bones in Shen Xi's hands, and when he saw him coming in, his brows and eyes frowned: "It just so happens that you are here, take these and feed them to the bean buns."
Zhou Du looked around in the kitchen, but couldn't find it. Hearing his words, his heart tightened suddenly: "It's not with you?"
Shen Xi said blankly: "It's not there, shouldn't it stay with you?"
"No," Zhou Du said succinctly, "not at home either."
Shen Xi asked strangely: "It's not at home, and it's not here with me, where can it go?"
Zhou Du looked a little flustered: "I don't know, I'll look for it."
With that said, he quickly walked out of the kitchen and began to search near the door of the house.
Sensing something was wrong, Shen Xi put down the bone in his hand, didn't cook, and followed Zhou Du to find it.
The two searched around the door of the house but couldn't find it, and they both panicked.
Ever since Doubao followed Zhoudu, he has always been very obedient and sensible, rarely leaving their sight, even if they go out to play occasionally, they will go home soon.
Now that they've searched for so long and haven't found even a shadow, it's hard not to wonder if something happened to it.
The anxiety in Zhou Du's eyes became more and more obvious, and Shen Xi was also anxious in his heart. He anxiously tugged at the hem of his clothes, forced himself to calm down, and said in relief: "Maybe it has gone to the village for fun, let's go look for it in the village."
Zhou Du had no other choice but to look for it. Hearing this, he hummed softly, and started looking for it in the village without stopping.
It was getting late at this time, and the villagers did not have the habit of sleeping late. As soon as Zhou Du and Shen Xi appeared in the village, someone came up to say hello: "Zhou Du, Xiao Xi, what are you doing?"
Zhou Du and Shen Xi searched under the eaves and yards of other people's houses in the village, and they didn't have much interest in dealing with the people who greeted them, so they said casually, "Looking for bean buns."
Everyone in the village knew that Zhoudu raised a wolf named Doubao, and when they heard what they said, they immediately recalled: "Your wolf is lost?"
"En." Zhou Du responded lightly, without too many words.
On the other hand, Shen Xi looked at the person in front of him and said in a hurry: "Ms. Qian, if you see my bean buns, please let us know."
"Sure," everyone is from the same village, and they can't see each other when they look up. Aunt Qian readily agreed, seeing that they were really anxious, and said, "It happens that I'm fine, so I'll help you find it together."
Zhoudu's wolf needs to be groomed every day, and its silver-gray hair grows beautifully, so it's easy to recognize and find.
Everyone knows the truth that there are many people and strength is great, and Shen Xi did not refuse: "Thank you, Aunt Qian."
Aunt Qian waved her hand indifferently: "Thank you, it's important to find a wolf."
Shen Xi nodded, and continued to look for the wolf.
Taoyuan Village is only this big, and anyone who makes a few remarks can cover the entire village in a few moments, let alone such a big event as hunting for wolves.
Zhou Du and Shen Xi didn't find many families, and many people in the village helped them find them together.
The two kept finding the head of the village from the end of the village, and the more they searched, the more flustered they became.
There was a fine layer of sweat on Zhou Du's forehead, he pursed his lips tightly, his face was cold and handsome, and his dark eyes were full of coldness.
Shen Xi at the side was also sweating profusely with his hands, and kept fanning his face with his hands to relieve his irritability and eagerness.
If they can't find it in the village, they have to go up the mountain to find it. The mountain is so big, it is even more difficult to find the bean bag, and they don't know if the bean bag has gone up the mountain.
Just when Zhou Du frowned and held back, a dusty creature appeared on the small road at the entrance of the village, as if it had been beaten by a dirt dog in muddy water.
"Wow." The dirt dog walked up to them tremblingly, and barked softly.
"Doubao!" Hearing this voice, Shen Xi rushed over in surprise, his eyes were flushed, and he asked angrily and urgently: "Where did you go, we are so worried."
The moment Zhou Du saw the bean buns, the anxiety gathered in his eyes instantly disappeared, and the hands he had been holding tightly were also relaxed.
Seeing Shen Xi rushing up, he didn't take another step, just stood quietly on the spot, looking at the big one and the small one on the ground, the missing piece in his heart suddenly seemed to be filled back, and he was no longer flustered.
After waiting for a while, he waited for Shen Xi to vent his emotions, and said two words indifferently: "Go home."
Shen Xi was also very angry with Doubao today, and for the first time, he knocked heavily on Doubao's head for the first time: "Going out to play without saying hello for so long, it's no wonder your father doesn't beat you when you go back!"
After beating, he picked up the dirty bean bag and followed Zhou Du home.
Walking all the way from the beginning of the village back to the end of the village, many people in the village were still helping to find the bean buns. Shen Xi held the bean buns and thanked each of them: "The wolf has been found, thank you everyone today."
Aunt Qian glanced at the bean bag in Shen Xi's hand, and was amazed how a beautiful wolf would become so embarrassed after going out for a trip, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, just find it."
As soon as he got home, Zhou Du couldn't help but take out the bean bag from Shen Xi's arms, and mercilessly threw it into the bucket to soak.
Seeing Zhou Du's posture, Shen Xi couldn't help swallowing secretly, it's so fierce.
You know, Doubao is no longer the size of a palm when he was a child, he has grown into a wolf, a real wolf.If it wasn't misbehaving, Shen Xi wouldn't even be able to hug it.
And Zhou Du lifted it out of his arms with two fingers, which shows the strength.
The bean bag was thrown into the bucket by Zhou Du, and rolled over in pain, causing all the water in the bucket to splash out.
Zhou Du didn't speak the whole time, rolled up his sleeves, and before the bean bag crawled out of the bucket, he took a bucket of water from the well beside it and poured it directly over its head.
The well water in early spring was still bitingly cold. When Zhoudu went down the bucket of water, a head of bean buns just crawled out of the bucket, and was immediately poured back into the bucket by the impact of the water.
The bucket was not big, and it couldn't hold one of them at all. It could only lie curled up in the bucket filled with water and shiver.
Zhou Du became furious, and kept pouring water from the well bucket after bucket, until most of the mud on Doubao was washed away, and then he could barely stop.
Shen Xi watched from the side, and after Zhou Du had vented enough, he stepped forward to persuade: "Calm down, calm down, it definitely didn't run out on purpose, maybe it ran out because of something."
I almost couldn't find the bean buns today, and Shen Xi was still helping this silly wolf, Zhou Du pinched Shen Xi's chin in a funny and angry way: "You're used to it."
"Okay, okay, I'm used to it," Shen Xi stared at the anger in Zhou Du's eyes, unable to refute. At this time, he could only follow Zhou Du's sake and look worriedly at the bean buns still soaking in the cold water bucket, " You can see that it has come back, and you have passed the punishment, so it should be picked up.”
If you keep soaking it, don't get sick.
"Catch it." Zhou Du touched the worried look in Shen Xi's eyes, and let go of his chin.
As soon as Shen Xi was relaxed, he immediately ran to the bucket, fished out the drenched bean bag, and kept wiping its hair with a handkerchief.
Zhou Du hooked his foot over the small stool at the side, sat down with a straight face, and watched Shen Xi take care of the beanbags quietly.
Zhou Du was a bit cold before, but he never got angry. Today's fire not only scared Dou Bao, but even Shen Xi was startled.
Dou Bao lay on Shen Xi's lap, shivering from the cold or fear, and didn't dare to look at Zhou Du.
Xu Shi hadn't heard Zhou Du speak for a long time, and hadn't been tortured again, so he boldly glanced at Zhou Du, saw Zhou Du's cold face, and quickly hid his head in Shen Xi's arms.
It was obvious from a glance that Zhou Du was frightened.
Zhou Du didn't care whether it understood or not, he lowered his eyes and said coldly: "Next time, I'll kill and boil wolf meat."
The bean bun nestled in Shen Xi's arms, I don't know if he understood, his whole body trembled even more.
Seeing this, Shen Xi felt a little distressed: "I didn't make a big mistake, I just ran out to play for a while, didn't it come back by itself, don't scare it."
"Besides," Shen Xi paused, then said, "Wolf meat is bitter and astringent, not tasty."
Dou Bao seemed to be comforted, she stopped shaking, and lay on Shen Xi's lap.
Zhou Du put his hands under his chin, watched this scene with his eyes, pursed his lips and said, "How do you know that wolf meat is bitter and astringent, have you eaten it?"
"I..." Before Shenxi could reply, the motionless Doubao lying in his arms straightened up as if he had suddenly realized something.
Zhou Du said unintentionally: "That's right, if you are so proficient in skinning wolves, you must be more comfortable cooking wolf meat, and the bean buns are almost big enough, so it's time..."
Before Zhou Du finished speaking, Dou Bao jumped out of his arms, ran back to the corridor where he usually stayed, and lay down on it.
Shen Xi's hands were empty, and he glared at Zhou Du: "I just said that casually, what did you scare it into?"
Zhou Du's slightly cool index finger brushed Shen Xi's face: "Are you not scared today?"
"It'll be fine when you come back," Shen Xi didn't have a temper. After speaking, he reminded again, "If the bean bag is cold, you can't stay on the floor, or you will get sick."
Zhou Du withdrew his hand and responded lightly: "Understood."
After finishing speaking, he stood up, walked to the corridor, carried the bean bag to the bedroom with one hand, and threw it on the bed.
Being thrown on the bed suddenly, Doubao's head was a little dazed, and before it could react, a thick quilt was pressed on it.
Shen Xi went back to the kitchen to cook, and the job of taking care of the bean buns fell on Zhou Du.
After Zhou Du covered the bean bag under the quilt, he didn't care about it, locked the bedroom door, went to the Shen's house on the side, and directly stepped into the Shen's pharmacy.
When he came out of Shen's pharmacy, Zhou Du was holding a bowl in his hand, the prescription prescribed by Shen Mu, and the wind-cold medicine that Li Yu helped make.
Zhou Du took the boiled medicine bowl back to the bedroom, grabbed the drowsy bean bag from the quilt, squeezed its wolf mouth, and poured all the medicine down.
The medicine was force-fed, and the bean buns were inevitably choked a few times, but it touched the sullenness in Zhou Du's eyes, and he didn't dare to get angry, so he could only kick his four paws aggrievedly, swallowing the bowl of bitter wind and cold little by little. medicine.
After it drank the bowl, Zhou Du stuffed it back into the bedding to keep warm.
After one operation, Doubao seemed to feel that Zhou Du was not angry with it anymore, and licked the back of Zhou Du's hand with his tongue flatteringly.
It's been a long time, and the anger in Zhou Du's heart has dissipated. Seeing that Dou Bao is flattering him, he is no longer vicious. He pressed his fingertips on its head and coaxed him in a low voice, "Go to sleep."
Under Zhou Du's comfort and the effect of the medicine, Dou Bao quickly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
After Zhoudu waited for it to sleep soundly, he opened the secret door in the room and walked to the small pavilion on the side to breathe.
Shen Xi was cutting vegetables by the window of the small pavilion, when he saw Zhou Du coming out of the room, he asked softly, "What's the matter with the bean bag?"
Zhou Du said indifferently: "I took the medicine and slept like a dead pig on the bed."
Shen Xi looked up at the expression on Zhou Du's face, smiled slightly, and lowered his head to chop vegetables again.
Shenxi's knife skills are very good. When cutting vegetables, there will be a rhythmic sound, which makes people feel comfortable.
Hearing the sound of him chopping vegetables, Zhou Du calmed down.
Shen Xi's speed was very fast, and he cut up the basket of vegetables in front of him in a short time. He stretched his right hand to the side, wanting to take a plate to put the vegetables on.
Just as he was taking the plate back to recycle, for some reason the plate in his hand loosened and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The movement was too fast, and Zhou Du didn't see how the plate landed, so he hurriedly asked, "Are you all right?"
Shen Xi stared blankly at the shattered plate at his feet, shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's okay, my hand slipped just now."
As he said that, he knelt down to pick up the broken disc.
Zhou Du got out of the pavilion, climbed in through the kitchen window, and then squatted down: "I'll just pick it up."
Shen Xi didn't compete with Zhou Du either: "I'll be ready soon, and I can serve dinner after picking up the broken dishes."
After a few strokes, Zhou Du picked up the debris on the ground and threw them into the basket, washed his hands clean: "I'll get them to eat."
Finding bean buns was so delayed that everyone didn't even eat breakfast, and lunch was a little later, and everyone was starving. As soon as Zhou Du knocked on the door, they all came out to help prepare the meal.
Yesterday's clear oil hot pot base has not been used up yet, today Shenxi boiled a large bone mushroom base, two pot bases, so that Qin Yi and Mrs. Meng, who can't eat spicy food, can also eat hot pot to their heart's content.
After Zhou Du's reminder last night, Shen Xi didn't make hot and sour chicken blood today, but used the chicken blood to scald hot pot, and the taste was unanimously recognized by everyone.
The dishes on the table today are richer, and Shenxi’s craftsmanship is really good. A simple big bone mushroom pot bottom is boiled to make the mouth water. Even Zhou Du, who doesn’t eat spicy food, said it was delicious .
Shen Xi and Meng Sui are more confident.
So after dinner, Meng Sui yelled to leave.
Zhou Du said politely, "A few more days?"
Meng Sui's complexion turned bitter, and he quickly declined: "No, no, I'd better go back to the county town earlier to make arrangements for the opening of the store, don't wait for my child to come out, the store hasn't opened yet."
Zhou Du didn't care whether he couldn't stay here or really wanted to go back to the county to open a shop, seeing that he was determined to leave, he didn't stay any longer: "Be careful on the road."
"I know," Meng Sui said, helping Mrs. Meng who was at the side, and waited carefully for her to get into the carriage. Turning around, he still did not forget to explain to Shen Xi: "During the time I went to the county to open a shop, you put this at home. The bottom material should be made more refined, and we will strive to make our Shenji Hot Pot Restaurant a must in Baoshan County.”
Before the shop opened, the cakes were painted first, Shen Xi responded: "I know Boss Meng, I can't do anything else, but I can definitely cook!"
Meng Sui has eaten a lot of Shen Xi's craftsmanship these days, and he has a deeper understanding of how superb Shen Xi's craftsmanship is. When he made a wedding banquet for him, he probably didn't even use his strength to make it, so he did it casually.
Meng Sui stood on the carriage and pulled Shen Xi and chatted a lot about opening a shop.
Zhou Du couldn't hold back and interrupted him directly: "If you don't leave, it will be dark. You can exchange letters with what you said."
Meng Sui looked at the time and stopped dawdling: "Then I'm leaving, remember to write to me if you have anything to do."
After finishing speaking, he lowered the curtain of the carriage and urged the coachman to set off quickly.
Sending off Meng Sui's talkative treasure, Zhou Du felt that his ears were much quieter.
Shen Xi is also relaxed: "Finally left, if he doesn't leave, my ears will be callused."
Zhou Du smiled and pinched his ear: "You found him, I'm afraid this cocoon is dependent on you and won't get rid of it."
Shen Xi shrugged, and said indifferently: "It's better to go less to the county in the future, I don't believe that his letters are as talkative as his mouth."
After watching Meng Sui and his wife go away, Shen Xi took out the bone that was specially left in the morning from the house: "I don't know if the bean bag is awake, it hasn't eaten yet."
When mentioning the bean bag, Zhou Du suddenly remembered that he seemed to have put the bean bag in the lock room.
He took the bone that Shen Xi had prepared for the bean bun, and said in a steady voice, "I'll feed it."
Shen Xi didn't suspect anything, and after handing over the bones to Zhou Du, he went to clean up the messy table.
Zhou Du returned to the room with the bone, the bean bag was still nestled in the bedding as he was when he left, untouched.
Zhou Du felt relieved, pinched its ears, and before his hand touched it, it opened its eyes, obviously woke up a long time ago.
Zhou Du picked a small bone and fed it to its lips, and said softly, "Eat."
Doubao smelled the aroma of the bone in Zhou Du's hand, and subconsciously stretched out its tongue to lick the bone. Just when he was about to roll it away, it stopped for some reason and turned its head to one side.
He doesn't look like he wants to eat.
"Not to your liking?" Zhou Du raised his eyebrows when he encountered him refusing to eat for the first time, and then chose a bone with a lot of meat for him again: "Do you want to eat this one?"
Doubao lowered his eyes to look at the attractive fleshy bone in Zhou Du's hand, not only did not stick out his tongue to lick it, but turned his whole body around, pointing his tail at Zhou Du's hand, as if refusing to eat.
Zhou Du frowned and thought for a while, then asked it: "I feel uncomfortable after taking the medicine, don't you want to eat?"
Doubao didn't answer, and the whole wolf looked a little haggard, and slowly lay down weakly, spread it under the quilt, raised its eyelids, stared at the patterns on the quilt, and remained motionless.
For some reason, Zhou Du felt a little sadness from its expression.
What's wrong with a wolf being sad?
Zhou Du didn't know what temper it was playing, so he frowned, put a pile of bones in his hand in front of it, and said for the last time, "Do you want to eat?"
Doubao remained unmoved, as if Zhou Du gave it a pile of stones instead of meat and bones, which did not arouse its appetite at all.
Seeing that it really didn't want to eat it, Zhou Du didn't force it, and took away the meat and bones in front of it: "Forget it if you don't eat it."
Zhou Du tentatively took the meat and bones out of the room, but didn't see any action on the bean buns. Knowing that it really didn't want to eat, he took the meat and bones back to Shen's house without any psychological burden.
Seeing that Zhou Du brought back the fleshy bones intact, Shen Xi frowned and said, "No feed?"
Zhou Du shook his head and threw his flesh and blood on the desk: "I won't eat it."
Shen Xi asked worriedly: "Are you sick and have no appetite?"
"I don't know," Zhou Du didn't know, so he just soaked in water for a while, and it wouldn't kill it, and the wolf wouldn't be so fragile, "I guess it hasn't recovered after being given medicine."
Shen Xi carried the dishes into the kitchen, and complained: "It's also possible that you were aggressive with it today and scared it."
Zhou Du thought for a while about the bean bag lying motionless on the bed, then shook his head and said, "It's not possible."
I was really scared, I ran away early, and I still put some sculptures on his bed.
Shen Xi was holding the dishes to open the cupboards. He was used to his left hand, so he put all the dishes on his right hand without thinking.
The result turned out to be that as soon as he opened the door of the cupboard, the dishes in his hand fell to the floor.
Come on, now the cupboard is open.
Zhou Du woke up from the sound of a pile of dishes falling to the ground. He looked at the shattered pieces of medicine dishes on the floor, and raised his eyebrows: "Did you fall again?"
Shen Xi looked at his hands, then at the fragments on the ground, frowning tightly: "I don't know too well, suddenly they slipped from my hands."
Speaking of which, Shen Xi frightened himself and said: "It's still Chinese New Year, and we just got married. Does this old broken thing indicate that something bad is going to happen?"
"No," Zhou Du knelt down to pick up broken bowl pieces for him, and comforted him, "It's a good sign that you are safe every year."
Shen Xi suspiciously raised his right hand and pressed it, looked left and right, but didn't see anything wrong, and felt that he was thinking too much: "That may be because I'm too suspicious."
Zhou Du picked up the pieces of dishes on the ground, and there were still many small pieces left. He cleaned them up with a broom, pinched Shen Xi's cheek, and said with a soft smile, "Little superstition."
Unconvinced, Shen Xi said: "I'd rather believe in something than nothing."
Shen Xi was too lazy to argue with Zhou Du on this issue, so he turned the conversation back: "Since the bean bag is not frightened by you, then why does it refuse to eat?"
Zhou Du thought back on Doubao's rather sad expression, and guessed randomly: "Maybe I've lost my love."

Zhou Du hugged him and rubbed lightly a few times: "Sleep a little longer."
Shen Xi still had something to do, so he gently pushed Zhou Du a few times: "No, I have to get up and cook the bottom of the pot."
Meng Sui just waited for him to make the bottom of the clear soup so that he could go back to the county town, he couldn't be lazy and waste time.
Hearing what Shen Xi said, Zhou Du, who was still a little sleepy, immediately got up from the bed, looked at his legs worriedly: "Aren't you tired?"
Shen Xi squeezed his leg, and gave Zhou Du a bad look: "It's still a little weak, it will be fine later."
Zhou Du sized him up a little, probably because he didn't see fatigue or other discomfort on his face, he got up and got out of bed, opened the closet for clothes, and took out a set of clothes for him.
I changed the set last night, and it was already dirty when they had a good time playing.
Probably because he is young and has a strong ability to adapt. After being tortured by Zhou Du once, Shen Xi has already adapted well this time. After getting dressed, he went to the kitchen to cook like a normal person.
Zhou Du withdrew his worried eyes, and after he went out, he tidied up the room and took out the clothes that the two of them had soiled last night to wash.

Zhou Du looked around in the kitchen, but couldn't find it. Hearing his words, his heart tightened suddenly: "It's not with you?"
Shen Xi said blankly: "It's not there, shouldn't it stay with you?"
"No," Zhou Du said succinctly, "not at home either."
Shen Xi asked strangely: "It's not at home, and it's not here with me, where can it go?"
Zhou Du looked a little flustered: "I don't know, I'll look for it."
With that said, he quickly walked out of the kitchen and began to search near the door of the house.
Sensing something was wrong, Shen Xi put down the bone in his hand, didn't cook, and followed Zhou Du to find it.
The two searched around the door of the house but couldn't find it, and they both panicked.
Ever since Doubao followed Zhoudu, he has always been very obedient and sensible, rarely leaving their sight, even if they go out to play occasionally, they will go home soon.
Now that they've searched for so long and haven't found even a shadow, it's hard not to wonder if something happened to it.
The anxiety in Zhou Du's eyes became more and more obvious, and Shen Xi was also anxious in his heart. He anxiously tugged at the hem of his clothes, forced himself to calm down, and said in relief: "Maybe it has gone to the village for fun, let's go look for it in the village."
Zhou Du had no other choice but to look for it. Hearing this, he hummed softly, and started looking for it in the village without stopping.
It was getting late at this time, and the villagers did not have the habit of sleeping late. As soon as Zhou Du and Shen Xi appeared in the village, someone came up to say hello: "Zhou Du, Xiao Xi, what are you doing?"
Zhou Du and Shen Xi searched under the eaves and yards of other people's houses in the village, and they didn't have much interest in dealing with the people who greeted them, so they said casually, "Looking for bean buns."
Everyone in the village knew that Zhoudu raised a wolf named Doubao, and when they heard what they said, they immediately recalled: "Your wolf is lost?"
"En." Zhou Du responded lightly, without too many words.
On the other hand, Shen Xi looked at the person in front of him and said in a hurry: "Ms. Qian, if you see my bean buns, please let us know."
"Sure," everyone is from the same village, and they can't see each other when they look up. Aunt Qian readily agreed, seeing that they were really anxious, and said, "It happens that I'm fine, so I'll help you find it together."
Zhoudu's wolf needs to be groomed every day, and its silver-gray hair grows beautifully, so it's easy to recognize and find.
Everyone knows the truth that there are many people and strength is great, and Shen Xi did not refuse: "Thank you, Aunt Qian."
Aunt Qian waved her hand indifferently: "Thank you, it's important to find a wolf."
Shen Xi nodded, and continued to look for the wolf.

Zhou Du and Shen Xi didn't find many families, and many people in the village helped them find them together.

There was a fine layer of sweat on Zhou Du's forehead, he pursed his lips tightly, his face was cold and handsome, and his dark eyes were full of coldness.
Shen Xi at the side was also sweating profusely with his hands, and kept fanning his face with his hands to relieve his irritability and eagerness.
If they can't find it in the village, they have to go up the mountain to find it. The mountain is so big, it is even more difficult to find the bean bag, and they don't know if the bean bag has gone up the mountain.
Just when Zhou Du frowned and held back, a dusty creature appeared on the small road at the entrance of the village, as if it had been beaten by a dirt dog in muddy water.
"Wow." The dirt dog walked up to them tremblingly, and barked softly.
"Doubao!" Hearing this voice, Shen Xi rushed over in surprise, his eyes were flushed, and he asked angrily and urgently: "Where did you go, we are so worried."
The moment Zhou Du saw the bean buns, the anxiety gathered in his eyes instantly disappeared, and the hands he had been holding tightly were also relaxed.
Seeing Shen Xi rushing up, he didn't take another step, just stood quietly on the spot, looking at the big one and the small one on the ground, the missing piece in his heart suddenly seemed to be filled back, and he was no longer flustered.
After waiting for a while, he waited for Shen Xi to vent his emotions, and said two words indifferently: "Go home."
Shen Xi was also very angry with Doubao today, and for the first time, he knocked heavily on Doubao's head for the first time: "Going out to play without saying hello for so long, it's no wonder your father doesn't beat you when you go back!"
After beating, he picked up the dirty bean bag and followed Zhou Du home.
Walking all the way from the beginning of the village back to the end of the village, many people in the village were still helping to find the bean buns. Shen Xi held the bean buns and thanked each of them: "The wolf has been found, thank you everyone today."
Aunt Qian glanced at the bean bag in Shen Xi's hand, and was amazed how a beautiful wolf would become so embarrassed after going out for a trip, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, just find it."
As soon as he got home, Zhou Du couldn't help but take out the bean bag from Shen Xi's arms, and mercilessly threw it into the bucket to soak.
Seeing Zhou Du's posture, Shen Xi couldn't help swallowing secretly, it's so fierce.
You know, Doubao is no longer the size of a palm when he was a child, he has grown into a wolf, a real wolf.If it wasn't misbehaving, Shen Xi wouldn't even be able to hug it.
And Zhou Du lifted it out of his arms with two fingers, which shows the strength.
The bean bag was thrown into the bucket by Zhou Du, and rolled over in pain, causing all the water in the bucket to splash out.
Zhou Du didn't speak the whole time, rolled up his sleeves, and before the bean bag crawled out of the bucket, he took a bucket of water from the well beside it and poured it directly over its head.
The well water in early spring was still bitingly cold. When Zhoudu went down the bucket of water, a head of bean buns just crawled out of the bucket, and was immediately poured back into the bucket by the impact of the water.
The bucket was not big, and it couldn't hold one of them at all. It could only lie curled up in the bucket filled with water and shiver.
Zhou Du became furious, and kept pouring water from the well bucket after bucket, until most of the mud on Doubao was washed away, and then he could barely stop.
Shen Xi watched from the side, and after Zhou Du had vented enough, he stepped forward to persuade: "Calm down, calm down, it definitely didn't run out on purpose, maybe it ran out because of something."
I almost couldn't find the bean buns today, and Shen Xi was still helping this silly wolf, Zhou Du pinched Shen Xi's chin in a funny and angry way: "You're used to it."
"Okay, okay, I'm used to it," Shen Xi stared at the anger in Zhou Du's eyes, unable to refute. At this time, he could only follow Zhou Du's sake and look worriedly at the bean buns still soaking in the cold water bucket, " You can see that it has come back, and you have passed the punishment, so it should be picked up.”
If you keep soaking it, don't get sick.
"Catch it." Zhou Du touched the worried look in Shen Xi's eyes, and let go of his chin.
As soon as Shen Xi was relaxed, he immediately ran to the bucket, fished out the drenched bean bag, and kept wiping its hair with a handkerchief.
Zhou Du hooked his foot over the small stool at the side, sat down with a straight face, and watched Shen Xi take care of the beanbags quietly.
Zhou Du was a bit cold before, but he never got angry. Today's fire not only scared Dou Bao, but even Shen Xi was startled.
Dou Bao lay on Shen Xi's lap, shivering from the cold or fear, and didn't dare to look at Zhou Du.
Xu Shi hadn't heard Zhou Du speak for a long time, and hadn't been tortured again, so he boldly glanced at Zhou Du, saw Zhou Du's cold face, and quickly hid his head in Shen Xi's arms.
It was obvious from a glance that Zhou Du was frightened.
Zhou Du didn't care whether it understood or not, he lowered his eyes and said coldly: "Next time, I'll kill and boil wolf meat."
The bean bun nestled in Shen Xi's arms, I don't know if he understood, his whole body trembled even more.
Seeing this, Shen Xi felt a little distressed: "I didn't make a big mistake, I just ran out to play for a while, didn't it come back by itself, don't scare it."
"Besides," Shen Xi paused, then said, "Wolf meat is bitter and astringent, not tasty."
Dou Bao seemed to be comforted, she stopped shaking, and lay on Shen Xi's lap.
Zhou Du put his hands under his chin, watched this scene with his eyes, pursed his lips and said, "How do you know that wolf meat is bitter and astringent, have you eaten it?"
"I..." Before Shenxi could reply, the motionless Doubao lying in his arms straightened up as if he had suddenly realized something.
Zhou Du said unintentionally: "That's right, if you are so proficient in skinning wolves, you must be more comfortable cooking wolf meat, and the bean buns are almost big enough, so it's time..."
Before Zhou Du finished speaking, Dou Bao jumped out of his arms, ran back to the corridor where he usually stayed, and lay down on it.
Shen Xi's hands were empty, and he glared at Zhou Du: "I just said that casually, what did you scare it into?"
Zhou Du's slightly cool index finger brushed Shen Xi's face: "Are you not scared today?"
"It'll be fine when you come back," Shen Xi didn't have a temper. After speaking, he reminded again, "If the bean bag is cold, you can't stay on the floor, or you will get sick."
Zhou Du withdrew his hand and responded lightly: "Understood."
After finishing speaking, he stood up, walked to the corridor, carried the bean bag to the bedroom with one hand, and threw it on the bed.
Being thrown on the bed suddenly, Doubao's head was a little dazed, and before it could react, a thick quilt was pressed on it.
Shen Xi went back to the kitchen to cook, and the job of taking care of the bean buns fell on Zhou Du.
After Zhou Du covered the bean bag under the quilt, he didn't care about it, locked the bedroom door, went to the Shen's house on the side, and directly stepped into the Shen's pharmacy.
When he came out of Shen's pharmacy, Zhou Du was holding a bowl in his hand, the prescription prescribed by Shen Mu, and the wind-cold medicine that Li Yu helped make.
Zhou Du took the boiled medicine bowl back to the bedroom, grabbed the drowsy bean bag from the quilt, squeezed its wolf mouth, and poured all the medicine down.
The medicine was force-fed, and the bean buns were inevitably choked a few times, but it touched the sullenness in Zhou Du's eyes, and he didn't dare to get angry, so he could only kick his four paws aggrievedly, swallowing the bowl of bitter wind and cold little by little. medicine.
After it drank the bowl, Zhou Du stuffed it back into the bedding to keep warm.
After one operation, Doubao seemed to feel that Zhou Du was not angry with it anymore, and licked the back of Zhou Du's hand with his tongue flatteringly.
It's been a long time, and the anger in Zhou Du's heart has dissipated. Seeing that Dou Bao is flattering him, he is no longer vicious. He pressed his fingertips on its head and coaxed him in a low voice, "Go to sleep."
Under Zhou Du's comfort and the effect of the medicine, Dou Bao quickly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
After Zhoudu waited for it to sleep soundly, he opened the secret door in the room and walked to the small pavilion on the side to breathe.
Shen Xi was cutting vegetables by the window of the small pavilion, when he saw Zhou Du coming out of the room, he asked softly, "What's the matter with the bean bag?"
Zhou Du said indifferently: "I took the medicine and slept like a dead pig on the bed."
Shen Xi looked up at the expression on Zhou Du's face, smiled slightly, and lowered his head to chop vegetables again.
Shenxi's knife skills are very good. When cutting vegetables, there will be a rhythmic sound, which makes people feel comfortable.
Hearing the sound of him chopping vegetables, Zhou Du calmed down.
Shen Xi's speed was very fast, and he cut up the basket of vegetables in front of him in a short time. He stretched his right hand to the side, wanting to take a plate to put the vegetables on.
Just as he was taking the plate back to recycle, for some reason the plate in his hand loosened and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The movement was too fast, and Zhou Du didn't see how the plate landed, so he hurriedly asked, "Are you all right?"
Shen Xi stared blankly at the shattered plate at his feet, shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's okay, my hand slipped just now."
As he said that, he knelt down to pick up the broken disc.
Zhou Du got out of the pavilion, climbed in through the kitchen window, and then squatted down: "I'll just pick it up."
Shen Xi didn't compete with Zhou Du either: "I'll be ready soon, and I can serve dinner after picking up the broken dishes."
After a few strokes, Zhou Du picked up the debris on the ground and threw them into the basket, washed his hands clean: "I'll get them to eat."
Finding bean buns was so delayed that everyone didn't even eat breakfast, and lunch was a little later, and everyone was starving. As soon as Zhou Du knocked on the door, they all came out to help prepare the meal.
Yesterday's clear oil hot pot base has not been used up yet, today Shenxi boiled a large bone mushroom base, two pot bases, so that Qin Yi and Mrs. Meng, who can't eat spicy food, can also eat hot pot to their heart's content.
After Zhou Du's reminder last night, Shen Xi didn't make hot and sour chicken blood today, but used the chicken blood to scald hot pot, and the taste was unanimously recognized by everyone.
The dishes on the table today are richer, and Shenxi’s craftsmanship is really good. A simple big bone mushroom pot bottom is boiled to make the mouth water. Even Zhou Du, who doesn’t eat spicy food, said it was delicious .
Shen Xi and Meng Sui are more confident.
So after dinner, Meng Sui yelled to leave.
Zhou Du said politely, "A few more days?"
Meng Sui's complexion turned bitter, and he quickly declined: "No, no, I'd better go back to the county town earlier to make arrangements for the opening of the store, don't wait for my child to come out, the store hasn't opened yet."
Zhou Du didn't care whether he couldn't stay here or really wanted to go back to the county to open a shop, seeing that he was determined to leave, he didn't stay any longer: "Be careful on the road."
"I know," Meng Sui said, helping Mrs. Meng who was at the side, and waited carefully for her to get into the carriage. Turning around, he still did not forget to explain to Shen Xi: "During the time I went to the county to open a shop, you put this at home. The bottom material should be made more refined, and we will strive to make our Shenji Hot Pot Restaurant a must in Baoshan County.”
Before the shop opened, the cakes were painted first, Shen Xi responded: "I know Boss Meng, I can't do anything else, but I can definitely cook!"
Meng Sui has eaten a lot of Shen Xi's craftsmanship these days, and he has a deeper understanding of how superb Shen Xi's craftsmanship is. When he made a wedding banquet for him, he probably didn't even use his strength to make it, so he did it casually.
Meng Sui stood on the carriage and pulled Shen Xi and chatted a lot about opening a shop.
Zhou Du couldn't hold back and interrupted him directly: "If you don't leave, it will be dark. You can exchange letters with what you said."
Meng Sui looked at the time and stopped dawdling: "Then I'm leaving, remember to write to me if you have anything to do."
After finishing speaking, he lowered the curtain of the carriage and urged the coachman to set off quickly.
Sending off Meng Sui's talkative treasure, Zhou Du felt that his ears were much quieter.
Shen Xi is also relaxed: "Finally left, if he doesn't leave, my ears will be callused."
Zhou Du smiled and pinched his ear: "You found him, I'm afraid this cocoon is dependent on you and won't get rid of it."
Shen Xi shrugged, and said indifferently: "It's better to go less to the county in the future, I don't believe that his letters are as talkative as his mouth."
After watching Meng Sui and his wife go away, Shen Xi took out the bone that was specially left in the morning from the house: "I don't know if the bean bag is awake, it hasn't eaten yet."
When mentioning the bean bag, Zhou Du suddenly remembered that he seemed to have put the bean bag in the lock room.
He took the bone that Shen Xi had prepared for the bean bun, and said in a steady voice, "I'll feed it."
Shen Xi didn't suspect anything, and after handing over the bones to Zhou Du, he went to clean up the messy table.
Zhou Du returned to the room with the bone, the bean bag was still nestled in the bedding as he was when he left, untouched.
Zhou Du felt relieved, pinched its ears, and before his hand touched it, it opened its eyes, obviously woke up a long time ago.
Zhou Du picked a small bone and fed it to its lips, and said softly, "Eat."
Doubao smelled the aroma of the bone in Zhou Du's hand, and subconsciously stretched out its tongue to lick the bone. Just when he was about to roll it away, it stopped for some reason and turned its head to one side.
He doesn't look like he wants to eat.
"Not to your liking?" Zhou Du raised his eyebrows when he encountered him refusing to eat for the first time, and then chose a bone with a lot of meat for him again: "Do you want to eat this one?"
Doubao lowered his eyes to look at the attractive fleshy bone in Zhou Du's hand, not only did not stick out his tongue to lick it, but turned his whole body around, pointing his tail at Zhou Du's hand, as if refusing to eat.
Zhou Du frowned and thought for a while, then asked it: "I feel uncomfortable after taking the medicine, don't you want to eat?"
Doubao didn't answer, and the whole wolf looked a little haggard, and slowly lay down weakly, spread it under the quilt, raised its eyelids, stared at the patterns on the quilt, and remained motionless.
For some reason, Zhou Du felt a little sadness from its expression.
What's wrong with a wolf being sad?
Zhou Du didn't know what temper it was playing, so he frowned, put a pile of bones in his hand in front of it, and said for the last time, "Do you want to eat?"
Doubao remained unmoved, as if Zhou Du gave it a pile of stones instead of meat and bones, which did not arouse its appetite at all.
Seeing that it really didn't want to eat it, Zhou Du didn't force it, and took away the meat and bones in front of it: "Forget it if you don't eat it."
Zhou Du tentatively took the meat and bones out of the room, but didn't see any action on the bean buns. Knowing that it really didn't want to eat, he took the meat and bones back to Shen's house without any psychological burden.
Seeing that Zhou Du brought back the fleshy bones intact, Shen Xi frowned and said, "No feed?"
Zhou Du shook his head and threw his flesh and blood on the desk: "I won't eat it."
Shen Xi asked worriedly: "Are you sick and have no appetite?"
"I don't know," Zhou Du didn't know, so he just soaked in water for a while, and it wouldn't kill it, and the wolf wouldn't be so fragile, "I guess it hasn't recovered after being given medicine."
Shen Xi carried the dishes into the kitchen, and complained: "It's also possible that you were aggressive with it today and scared it."
Zhou Du thought for a while about the bean bag lying motionless on the bed, then shook his head and said, "It's not possible."
I was really scared, I ran away early, and I still put some sculptures on his bed.
Shen Xi was holding the dishes to open the cupboards. He was used to his left hand, so he put all the dishes on his right hand without thinking.
The result turned out to be that as soon as he opened the door of the cupboard, the dishes in his hand fell to the floor.
Come on, now the cupboard is open.
Zhou Du woke up from the sound of a pile of dishes falling to the ground. He looked at the shattered pieces of medicine dishes on the floor, and raised his eyebrows: "Did you fall again?"
Shen Xi looked at his hands, then at the fragments on the ground, frowning tightly: "I don't know too well, suddenly they slipped from my hands."
Speaking of which, Shen Xi frightened himself and said: "It's still Chinese New Year, and we just got married. Does this old broken thing indicate that something bad is going to happen?"
"No," Zhou Du knelt down to pick up broken bowl pieces for him, and comforted him, "It's a good sign that you are safe every year."
Shen Xi suspiciously raised his right hand and pressed it, looked left and right, but didn't see anything wrong, and felt that he was thinking too much: "That may be because I'm too suspicious."
Zhou Du picked up the pieces of dishes on the ground, and there were still many small pieces left. He cleaned them up with a broom, pinched Shen Xi's cheek, and said with a soft smile, "Little superstition."
Unconvinced, Shen Xi said: "I'd rather believe in something than nothing."
Shen Xi was too lazy to argue with Zhou Du on this issue, so he turned the conversation back: "Since the bean bag is not frightened by you, then why does it refuse to eat?"
Zhou Du thought back on Doubao's rather sad expression, and guessed randomly: "Maybe I've lost my love."
