新石器时代

Gu Xiaolu has been ridiculing that the actor's house is not as big as his old bathroom.Ji Huaifeng had never been to his house before, but he could guess that the size of his house should be very impressive.So after entering the actor's house, Ji Huaifeng was not surprised at the spaciousness inside.

He just glanced around briefly: "Did you build it yourself? It's okay."

The actor also pretended to be indifferent: "It's nothing, it took only two days of work. I'm laughing at you."

Ji Huaifeng nodded dismissively: "You are too modest. Even if it is me, it will take a day and a half."

Gu Xiaolu gnawed at the last roasted wild potato in his hand: "Just blow it up! I remember that the actor's house was built for four days, apprentice! You said you would build a new house, but now I haven't even seen a foundation!"

The film king and Ji Huaifeng rolled their eyes at each other, and exhaled from each nostril; then they said in unison: "Hmph!"

"Bang! Bang Bang Bang"

A loud fart broke the deadlock between the two.The perpetrator, Gu Xiaolu, waved his hands exaggeratedly: "You guys talk. I'll go out and enjoy the air." As he spoke, he threw the two of them into the stench that was gradually spreading.

The next few days were extremely busy.Ji Huaifeng and the film emperor burned charcoal to collect herbs desperately, but told Gu Xiaolu that they only needed three baskets.Of course Gu Xiaolu would not do it.He also knew that if he wanted to exchange more food during the trading day, he had to hurry up and work now.Fortunately, now that the sun is out, there seems to be more daylight every day, and the outside is much warmer, so it is very convenient for them to work.

So busy until the night before the trading day.Gu Xiaolu went to the mayor's house to borrow a scale, and divided the charcoal into five catties.Ji Huaifeng and the actor who had been busy all this time suddenly became lazy.The two dug out a lot of ashes from the firepit, spread a large piece on the ground, and wrote and drew on it.Gu Xiaolu listened to them muttering for a long time, but couldn't figure out why.In the end, he simply rushed over: "Hey, are you guys going to work or not? Let's talk about a few hundred catties of charcoal, when will I have to distribute it?"

Ji Huaifeng turned around: "Go to sleep when you're tired, we'll take care of the rest."

Gu Xiaolu flicked his shoes angrily, and went across to the haystack of the actor's house to lift the corpse.Ji Huaifeng and the actor continued to mutter.Gu Xiaolu fell asleep in a daze, and he didn't know how long they had been muttering.Before going to bed, I thought, could these two really be a couple?

I don't know why, but I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

Fortunately, when he got up, he saw that everything was ready.The things that are going to be sold today - the film king's medicine, the charcoal burned by Ji Huaifeng, and some rattan utensils he made are neatly stacked at the door.With his hands on his waist, Gu Xiaolu inspected their booth majestically, and found a big problem: "I said apprentice, didn't I weave five baskets? Why did I only put two out? Go and put all of them." come out!"

Ji Huaifeng glanced at the actor.The film king coughed: "My family is accumulating more and more medicinal materials. I have reserved your three rattan baskets first. When I sell the medicine, I will give you the meat."

Gu Xiaolu nodded.Suddenly waved his hand again: "Forget it. Don't give me meat. My apprentice and I will eat your meat and sleep your meat these few days. These three baskets can be considered as your board and lodging expenses."

The actor readily agreed.Gu Xiaolu waved his hand: "Apprentice! Open!"

Longhu Town is the only distribution center where things can be exchanged within a hundred miles around here.At the beginning, because there was no common currency, the premise of the transaction could only be that both parties to the transaction wanted what the other party had.It is very inconvenient to change things like this.Later, the mayor thought of a way, that is to let those people use jerky as money - all things are priced with jerky; people who trade can first exchange things for jerky, and then use jerky for money. Something else.The jerky must be sent to the mayor for appraisal before it can be used.

So although Gu Xiaolu and the others set up the stall early in the morning, no one came to buy things - because those who came with jerky were still queuing up at the mayor's place to be appraised.There are also some people who are strolling on the street with the things they want to change out, looking here and there-because it is still early, they are not in a hurry to change things out.

Today's weather is warmer than the previous few days.Gu Xiaolu watched the people coming and going, and quickly yawned.

The actor said, "Don't you usually like to yell? Hurry up and yell!"

Gu Xiaolu continued to yawn: "There are only a few kittens and puppies on the street, who are they yelling for?"

When the sun climbed higher in the cloud, there were finally more people on the street.Gu Xiaolu finally pulled himself together and began to yell.Some of their things were sold one after another, and the dried meat soon filled the largest rattan basket next to it.Gu Xiaolu had never changed so much jerky all at once, and he was so happy that he yelled twice as loudly.At this moment, Ji Huaifeng and the film king glanced at each other.The actor nodded.Ji Huaifeng picked up the basket and left.Gu Xiaolu yelled, "Hey, hey, what are you doing with my meat?"

Ji Huaifeng didn't say a word, and didn't turn his head.The film king pressed Gu Xiaolu: "You can't just exchange nothing but meat, can you? He's going to see if there's anything he can use." Gu Xiaolu hummed: "You know what he's thinking again? Oh ——" He exaggeratedly acted as if he had suddenly realized, "You two have a good understanding of each other—it really is a match made in heaven!"

The film king jumped violently: "You say me and him?! Even if I talk to a donkey, I won't talk to him. I'll tell you!"

Gu Xiaolu spread his hands: "When a person is talked about by others, the first reaction is definitely to deny it." He patted the actor's shoulder, "I understand."

The actor defended desperately: "I don't have any"

Gu Xiaolu continued to pat him on the shoulder vigorously, and continued to sell Ji Huaifeng with an attitude of selling goods: "My apprentice is a little confused, but he is actually a very nice person. Look at how hard he works, and he never slackens, what? Do it first. You won't suffer if you are with him."

"Leng cough cough"

The actor thought, wondering if Ji Huaifeng would vomit blood when he heard this.

Ji Huaifeng came back at noon.The jerky in the basket was gone; he had a few more things in his hand.Gu Xiaolu rushed up to have a look, and it turned out to be a military coat, a pair of shoes, and a kitchen knife—of course, they were all old items from nowhere.There is also a small bamboo tube of salt.

Fortunately, Gu Xiaolu just brought in a lot of dried meat, so he didn't have any complaints about what Ji Huaifeng returned in exchange.They roasted some jerky on the spot for lunch and sold it as they ate it.In the afternoon, Ji Huaifeng went out again.When I came back, the meat was gone, and my hand was empty.

Gu Xiaolu exploded on the spot.Just when he put his hands on his waist and gathered enough energy to start cursing, Ji Huaifeng took out a rusty but silvery object from his pocket.

Gu Xiaolu's eyes lit up, and he rushed over without thinking, "Give it to me!"

Of course Gu Xiaolu knew the importance of fire.Having a lighter means that he can start a fire anytime and anywhere - the most important thing is that even if the fire he keeps goes out, he will not be afraid anymore.

Gu Xiaolu didn't hide his excitement at all, and asked eagerly: "Have you checked it? Can you make a fire?"

"I checked, the liquefied petroleum gas inside is still full, and the flint is good." As if afraid that Gu Xiaolu would not believe it, he added: "That person just happened to dig a lighter shop, and he still has some few."

Gu Xiaolu stretched out his hand to take it over, looked at it again, and then threw it back reluctantly: "You are big, you keep the valuables. Be careful that someone robbed you." Ji Huaifeng's head was full of black lines. pocket.The film king snorted contemptuously: "Tsk, for a person like him, thank God if he doesn't rob others, who would dare to think of him?"

Gu Xiaolu immediately grasped the reason: "You really know him well, and you said you are not a couple!"

The actor and Ji Huaifeng turned their heads silently.

Ji Huaifeng talked about him from left to right: "It's really lively here. I walked around the street just now, and there are everything for sale."

Gu Xiaolu maintained a high sense of identity with Longhu Town, and felt that Ji Huaifeng was praising himself when he praised Longhu Town, so he said triumphantly: "Of course! The only market within a hundred miles, this Was the head blown out? Uh, why did it happen again?"

Ji Huaifeng followed his gaze, and saw a bearded man approaching not far away, holding a rope in his hand, and a person was tied to the rope.

A dirty little girl about eight or nine years old.

The little girl's face and hands were covered with mud, so dark that her original skin color could not be seen.With a blank face and dull eyes, she shuffled behind the bearded man step by step.The bearded man yelled along the street: "Bosses! Don't be idle when you have money, buy a wife and go home to warm your bed! I won't be too wordy, and I'll take you back with five hundred catties of jerky for a one-buy price! Girls can do it! Very soon, if you can work and hunt, you will be able to have a baby in two years! Five hundred catties of dried meat!"

Ji Huaifeng frowned: "Human trafficking is still allowed here?"

Gu Xiaolu spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders: "You just said that everything is sold here." Ji Huaifeng looked again, and saw that there were many people watching, but no one spoke to the bearded man.Gu Xiaolu leaned close to Ji Huaifeng's ear: "This guy comes here every time, but no one buys it. Look at that girl—is she stupid? Fortunately, she dared to brag that she is very capable—you said that she can support herself these days It's not easy, who's free and has nothing to do, come back to raise the whole fool?"

Ji Huaifeng nodded, and turned his gaze elsewhere.At this time, the actor said: "Ji Huaifeng, look at the stall, I'll go back and clean it up." Gu Xiaolu was about to speak, but Ji Huaifeng raised his hand to stop him: "Let him go, there's not much left anyway. gone."

Gu Xiaolu: "Apprentice, you are bad. Once you have a concubine, you don't care about your master. You turn your elbows out."

Ji Huaifeng: ""

He couldn't help thinking carefully bit by bit, how did Gu Xiaolu misunderstand this point?

Thinking about it carefully, he suddenly felt that he was like a hot potato, and Gu Xiaolu was anxious to throw him out—because he was afraid of being burned, afraid of getting hurt, and afraid of the inevitable parting.

If he becomes someone else's, everyone will be safe.

In fact, this is a good thing.Because it means that Gu Xiaolu has already realized the purpose of his existence and everything he has done for him.The reason why Gu Xiaolu wanted to push him out so desperately was because of fear.

Ji Huaifeng saw that no one was coming, and no one was looking at them, so he walked to Gu Xiaolu's side calmly.

"Xiao Lu, you really misunderstood." Ji Huaifeng tried his best to sound serious and serious, "I really have nothing to do with the film king. Because I already have someone in my heart."

He heard Gu Xiaolu let out a long breath, feeling relieved.Gu Xiaolu asked like a cannonball: "Oh? Really? Who is he? Where is he? Why didn't he come with you? Or does he not know that you like him at all? Hey, you have to take the initiative in this kind of thing." Okay, if you don't tell me, how will people know what you're thinking?"

Gu Xiaolu spoke very fast, as if he was running wildly trying to get rid of something.When Ji Huaifeng heard it, he always felt sour.

"Ahem, this, because the person in my heart is..." Ji Huaifeng gritted his teeth, and was about to go out——

"Boss, it's too cheap to buy a wife's five hundred catties of dried meat. Where else can you find a woman these days?! Buy it?"

Ji Huaifeng was about to make a quick confession when the bearded man led the little girl and appeared in front of their stall like a ghost.

Ji Huaifeng really wanted to kill someone.

He gave the bearded man a vicious look: "I'm not interested. Go away and don't hinder our business!"

Unexpectedly, the bearded man turned to Gu Xiaolu again, holding back a malicious smile on his bushy beard: "Boss? Look at this girl, she's so juicy, hehehe"

Without further ado, Gu Xiaolu suddenly grinned at the little girl.The little girl was frightened and cried loudly on the spot, causing a commotion nearby.Two guards patrolling the street strode over and tore the two of them apart.Ji Huaifeng calmed down, ready to make persistent efforts to speak clearly.Gu Xiaolu was the first to say: "I want to pee, you should look at the stall first!"

Ji Huaifeng watched him rush towards the hut, and could only stand there and stare blankly.

Thanks to the wild potatoes they often ate these days, Gu Xiaolu squatted in the latrine until dark.

The people on the street dispersed.The mayor began to lead the guards to collect taxes from house to house.When Gu Xiaolu returned to the movie king's house, he saw that the jerky was missing by half.Although he knew that the tax had to be paid, he still couldn't help but complain: "The tax is too heavy for this Han pauper."

The actor nodded for the first time, and sighed: "That's right, it's too heavy. Oh, if there is a place in the world where you can live in peace and don't have to pay taxes. Oh," he said and winked at Ji Huaifeng Eye.

Ji Huaifeng closed the door mysteriously, and pulled the remaining two together: "I said, I knew there was such a place, there were many people, and it was safe; and it's good to do business there, hunting and digging. No need to pay taxes on wild vegetables.”

The film king made a surprised and yearning expression very cooperatively.Gu Xiaolu squinted at Ji Huaifeng: "You guys have colluded, where are you going to trick me?"
