I farmed in ancient times

Wu Yuan has been in a half-dream and half-awake state, feeling hot all over.

Li Xiurong was anxious like an ant in a hot pot. After all, there was only such a familiar person by his side. If something happened to Wu Yuan, he would not be able to walk back to Kaifeng Mansion by himself.

Jueming observed the two people, the boy named Li Xiurong seemed to be loved and raised by his family, his face was white and tender, he couldn't even light a fire, if he was left alone in the mountains, he would definitely not survive two days.

Looking at the clothes, silk clothes are not something ordinary people can wear. They must have been hunted here from far away...

"Actually." Jueming said, "This place is not far from the village."

"Really?" Li Xiurong was full of disbelief.

Jueming nodded, "It's only five miles away from the village. You stay here first, and I'll go back to the village along the path. After you pack up, I'll find someone to take you down the mountain."

"Don't get wet on your two wounds. Here, I will lend you this flint first, and I will collect it later."

——Really stingy enough.

Li Xiurong stretched out his hand and took the flint and steel.

Cassia taught him how to use it, got up and left after teaching, turned his head and got into the path.

"Hey--"

Li Xiurong shouted: "Jinshan—"

When Jue Ming turned his head, Li Xiurong showed embarrassment and said, "When you go back, can you bring me some herbs?"

Li Xiurong chased after him and pressed Jue Ming's shoulder, "Jin Shan, Wu Yuan and I were both badly injured, you saw it too, save people to the end, you..."

"I don't have any money." Jueming said, "How can I save it?" It's true that Jueming has no money. Most of the game he hunted on the mountain went into his belly, and he didn't have a penny in his hand when he didn't have to spend money on weekdays.

Li Xiurong lowered his eyes and said nothing, Jin Shan is obviously a village boy, what kind of money can a half-grown kid have?If you want to buy medicine, how can you do it without money?Hate only hate, escaped, and all the money I had on my body was gone.

Seeing that Li Xiurong was speechless for a long time, Jue Ming stroked his hand from his shoulder, planning to exchange Li Xiurong for copper coins for chicken soup to buy some medicinal herbs after going down the mountain, and if not enough, find another way.

Suddenly, Li Xiurong caught a glimpse of Fang Yu hanging on his body.

——This was given to him by Weng Weng, which is quite commemorative.

No matter how commemorative it is, it is not worth the importance of life. At worst, I will redeem it later!Li Xiurong gritted his teeth and took Fang Yu and the rope off his waist, "Pawn this!"

"You are really willing." Without any excuses, Jue Ming took Fang Yu and stuffed it into his arms, "I will come to you at night."

"I'll trust you just once, I want my young master to find out that you dared to lie to me." Li Xiurong didn't say the second half of the sentence, only threatening with his eyes.

"So what if you don't believe me?" Cen Jueming told Li Xiurong: "Remember to deal with those who chase you."

There are very few people going up the mountain today, and those who are far away have not rushed over, so it would be bad if others saw it.

……

The golden crow sank into the sky, and the sunset glowed red, and the dim light engulfed the entire mountain bit by bit.

A five-year-old kid was sitting at the door of his house, looking longingly at the path leading into the mountain.

The villagers passing by joked with him: "Hey! My son, are you still waiting for your brother? I have been away for so long and I haven't come back. Is it taken away by wolves?"

Brother, he will be fine!Tears welled up in Cen Chaoan's eyes, and he wiped away the tears with his palm, pursed his lips, and ignored the passing villagers.

A figure wandered down from the mountain, and Cen Chaoan jumped up from the ground, wiping away his tears, "Brother!"

It's just that it wasn't Cassia that descended from the mountain, but Uncle Shi.Uncle Shi said cheerfully: "Hey, Xiao Chao'an, hasn't your brother come down the mountain yet?

"

"Uncle Shi!" Cen Chaoan shook his head in disappointment, and sat on the side of the road again.

When Uncle Shi passed by Cen Chaoan, he reached out his rough hand to touch Cen Chaoan's little head, and stuffed him with two big bird eggs, "Don't worry, your brother just went hunting and will be back in a while, or Uncle Shi will go to the mountains have a look?"

"Thank you, Uncle Shitou." Cen Chaoan held a bird's egg in one hand and looked up the mountain with teary eyes.

Another figure came down from the mountain, with short and thin legs, this time it must be my brother!

"Brother!" Cen Chaoan ran towards Jueming holding two bird eggs, "Brother! You are finally back!!"

"Hey——" Jueming took a few steps quickly, putting his arm around Cen Chaoan, "Chaoan, why don't you stay at home, what are you doing here?"

"Brother! Why are you coming back so late!" Cen Chao'an's teary eyes, Jue Ming wiped his tears, took his little hand, and said to Uncle Shi while walking: "I went to other places for a while, so I was delayed today. A lot of time."

Uncle Shi blamed him as he walked: "You are only so old, don't run around alone next time, after all, there are many wild animals on this mountain."

"It won't be like this next time." Jue Ming replied obediently, if he hadn't met those two people today, he wouldn't have been delayed for so long.

Uncle Shi shook his head, "If you were my son, I'd beat you to the brim. Now that you're home, you can go back and see you later."

Saying goodbye to Uncle Shi, Caesar took Cen Chaoan's little hand and walked towards the low brick house.

"I'm back." Cen Chaoan put the quiver to the corner, and Cen Daonian in the inner room heard the sound, angrily came out with a stick, and rolled up his sleeves as if ready to hit.

Caesar hurriedly held up the rabbit he had hunted and put it in front of his face, "Present the jade rabbit!"

Cen Chaoan imitated the example and held up the bird's egg, "Here is the bird's egg!"

"Oh, you!" Cen Daonian sighed helplessly, threw away the wooden sticks, one in each hand, and embraced the two children in his arms.

"I have to sell the rabbit quickly, or it will die." Jueming shook the thumping rabbit in his hand. Although it was a little smaller, it still had meat.

"It's so late." Cen Daonian shook his head, "Let's go tomorrow morning."

The people on the mountain are still waiting for life-saving medicinal herbs, human life is at stake, this cannot be delayed, Caesar insisted on his opinion, Cen Daonian nodded and told him that the butcher just said to go to the town, let Cassia run faster, I can't say I can take a ride.

Caesar took the rabbit and slipped away quickly. At the entrance of the village, Hu Tutu was urging the big yellow ox to go fast with his whip. Taking advantage of Hu Tutu's ox cart, Caesar rushed to the town to buy the rabbit for the restaurant before the sun went down, and exchanged it for copper coins. .

Weighing Fang Yu in his hand, Jue Ming hesitated for a while, stuffed it into his bosom, and walked towards the pharmacy.

Not long after, Caesar came out of the herbal medicine shop with a face full of pain, and exchanged all the money he earned from Li Xiurong with chicken soup for medicinal herbs, and put in a lot of private money.

It was already dark, and Jue Ming rushed back to the intersection of the village. Hu Tutu was waiting, and Jue Ming took a ride to the village and gave him a pack of red bean cakes as a favor for the ride. The medicine and a bottle of wine were stuffed into the firewood pile, and after washing his face, he went to the main room.

"There's still hot rice in the pot." Cen Daonian sat on the head of the bed, "Eat it soon, we've been out for a day, so hurry up and take a good rest."

"You go to bed first, I have to take a bath in the yard later." Jueming handed the remaining copper plate to Cen Daonian, "This is left over from selling rabbits."

Cen Daonian shook his head, "You just keep it, because father has money."

"Okay." Caesar put away the copper plate.

Cen Daonian taught him a lesson again, after Jueming repeatedly promised that he would not run around on the mountain alone in the future, Cen Daonian finally rushed to Jueming to have dinner.

As if being pardoned, Jue Ming went to the bedside and pinched Cen Chaoan's soft face, then went to Dongchu to drink the radish and millet porridge in the pot, scooped out the hot water in the small pot, Shaking in the corner of the yard, he took a shower.

Be sure to build a bathroom!

After changing into clean clothes, Cen Daonian's slight snoring could be heard in the house. Jue Ming quickly locked the courtyard door, carried the quiver on his back, carried medicine and wine, and put a hatchet on his waist. The light of the stars and the moon in the sky walked towards the mountain.

Insects chirping everywhere, wolves howling up and down, walking in the mountains at night is very dangerous.

After entering the forest, Jue Ming blew on the torch to light the torch, and quickly walked towards the hut where Li Xiurong and the others stayed.

Five miles away.

Li Xiurong stood at the door, looking forward to it.

The moon is already on the tip of the willow, but there is still no shadow of Jinshan.

——This boy really lied to himself.

Li Xiurong looked at the unconscious Wu Yuan behind him, wanted to go down the mountain several times, but stopped.

The mountains are too dangerous, if there are beasts infesting, or if you get lost, not only can you not save Wu Yuan, but you will also lose your own life.

Just as Li Xiurong was running around in a hurry, he suddenly saw a small light spot in the forest, and the light spot moved and magnified rapidly in the mountain.The light spot keeps approaching along the spiraling mountain road.

Li Xiurong's face brightened.

"Jinshan?! Jinshan!? Is that you!?"

Jue Ming trotted all the way to the hut, and handed the herb to Li Xiurong, "Medicine."

"Thank you!" Li Xiurong held the medicine bag, opened it and put it into the iron pot.

"How long will it take to cook?"

"After the two bowls of water boil, boil for a while. Repeat this three times, mix the medicine from the three boils, and drink one bowl each time."

"So troublesome?" Li Xiurong hesitated with his hand on the pot.

"Do you think it's troublesome if you want to get medical treatment?"

Caesar squeezed Li Xiurong away from the pot, added water and firewood to make a fire, yawned and looked at the fire.

"After the medicine is finished, you can feed him." Caesar gathered hay as a pillow, lay in a corner, and looked out the window.

The moonlight shines through the leaves in the forest and sprinkles on the ground like pieces of silver.

Cassia's face was covered with a layer of golden light in the flickering flames, hazy and bright, making people unable to move their eyes away, especially those obsidian-like black eyes, which were as eye-catching as the stars in the sky.

The gray clothes made of rough cloth on his body are obviously worn by the people living at the bottom, but there is an aura around him that doesn't belong here.I don't know what kind of parents are able to give birth to such a good-looking son, but his temper is a bit bad.

As the saying goes, children from poor families head home early.Jinshan can hunt at such a young age, so his family must be very poor, no wonder he likes silver so much.Thinking of this, Li Xiurong looked away from Jue Ming, lowered his head and wiped the long sword with a cloth.

Caesar used a fire stick to pound the fire, and when the medicine was cooked and cooled, he and Li Xiurong fed Wu Yuan to drink.

After tossing about all this, it was already midnight, and Jueming added some firewood to the fire, went to the wooden house to gather straw, and lay on it, planning to make do with the night here.

"Ugh-"

There was a wild beast whining in the forest, Jue Ming turned over and listened carefully.

It's howling wolves.

It is very close to the village. Although Damo Township does not practice martial arts, because it is close to the mountain, there are many hunters in the village going up the mountain for activities, and there are very few ferocious beasts going down the mountain to find it.

Caesar touched the quiver with his right hand, and turned to look at Li Xiurong.

Li Xiurong and Jue Ming exchanged glances, stood up and picked up the long sword.

Jue Ming glanced out of the window, and saw two green lights in the forest flickering, getting closer and closer.

"Wolf."

Jueming took out an arrow and put it on the bow, "It's too dark, I can't see clearly."

"How did they run to the side of the mountain?!" Li Xiurong drew out his sword and stood at the door. Outside the wooden door, a fire was burning, and the firewood crackled, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet night.

"It was probably attracted by the fresh meat you two moved." Jueming poked his head out from behind the door, "You guys smell so strong of blood, it's good that you didn't catch the tiger."

Li Xiurong didn't speak, his eyes were fixed on the woods.The wind blows over the branches, the leaves are whirling, and the last sliver of moonlight is hidden behind the clouds. The whole forest suddenly seems to be swallowed by a monster and plunged into unprovoked darkness. conspicuous.

The wolf was walking around in the dark watching, unable to bear the hunger in his belly, he whined in a low voice, and with all his four claws slammed, he rushed towards the two standing behind the fire in the air!

After hunting with Uncle Shi for so long, this was the first time he faced a wild wolf. Caesar was startled, and at the same time his fingers loosened, an arrow whizzed through the night sky, and he didn't know where it landed.

"Stand back!" Li Xiurong raised his sword to block. Seeing this, the wild wolf twisted deftly, avoiding the edge of the sword and landed on the ground beside him. Then he came forward again with bared teeth, opened his scarlet mouth, and continued without giving up. Pounce on people.

Holding the sword in both hands, Li Xiurong leaned up to dodge it, his eyes were full of murderous intent, the sword in his hand crossed the softest belly of the wild wolf, the long sword cut the wolf in half like cutting cotton, and the dark red blood spilled all over the ground. The wolf fell to the ground with a muffled sound, blood gushed out from its abdomen, its limbs twitched a few times, and the wild wolf finally died unwillingly.

Caesar breathed a long sigh of relief, squatted beside the dead wolf, and poked an arrow at the limp wolf corpse, "It's too scary."

Li Xiurong wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve in disgust, glanced casually at the Cassia, and was startled, "Be careful!"

Before the words were finished, the long sword came out of Li Xiurong's hand, Jue Ming looked up at Li Xiurong, and saw the long sword flashing coldly across the top of his head, nailing the sneak attacking wild wolf, Li Xiurong pulled Jue Ming who was squatting on the ground behind him , drew his sword and slashed a few more times, the wild wolf that was sneaking up from the side suddenly lost its breath.

Looking at Cassia Ming again, his left arm was bitten into several blood holes, and blood was bubbling.

The wolf is cunning, I didn't expect it to have companions!

A dull pain hit his arm, and Jue Ming looked down, only to feel the pain in his arm belatedly.

Cassia: "!"

Li Xiurong picked up the wolf carcass and threw it aside, dragged Cassia Ming into the cabin, and helped him treat the wound briefly.

Tearing off the strip of cloth and fastening it tightly, Li Xiurong raised his head, "Okay, thank you for saving you, Master."

Jue Ming curled his lips and retorted: "If I hadn't delivered medicine to you, I wouldn't have come to this mountain in the middle of the night!"

"Isn't it very proud during the day, I didn't expect it to be an idiot." Li Xiurong stood up with his hips on his hips, "If it wasn't for the young master, hmph, you might have been bitten to death."

Jueming clutched his injured arm and leaned on the haystack, "Thank you for saving me, but the money you owe will not be written off."

Li Xiurong said angrily: "Then you pay back the life I saved you just now!"

Jueming narrowed his eyes, "It's already been paid, starting with taking you away from the small pool."

Li Xiurong was speechless.

The two of them were speechless for a while, and even the painful wounds couldn't stop Li Xiurong's drowsiness. Li Xiurong lay down on the haystack, and fell asleep within a few breaths.

Jueming looked out the window and found no wild wolves, so he gathered a pile of hay by the window and fell asleep leaning against it.

After a night without dreams, before dawn, Jueming rushed home with two wolves on his shoulders, unlocked the door, threw the quiver and hatchet into the corner, returned to the house and took off his blood-stained clothes. Affecting the wound, Jue Ming couldn't help baring his teeth.

"hiss--"

"It really hurts." When Jue Ming touched the wound, the blood flowed down again, staining his hand.

Jueming treated the wound, tied a clean cloth, tore off the blue beads on his neck, stuffed the blood-stained clothes under the bed in a mess, went to the well to clean it, reapplied some herbs, and put on clean clothes , pretending to be nothing, and started making breakfast in Dongchu.

There was a noise from the main room, and after a while, the two dressed neatly came out, and after Cen Daonian washed, he stared at Cen Chaoan to wash.

East Chef raised the smoke, and Caesar cleaned the yellow rice, put it into the pot and added four bowls of water, and when the pot boiled, he turned to a low fire and simmered slowly. Yellow rice was called millet in ancient times, and its color was yellow. The kind of glutinous yellow rice my father bought is the most suitable for cooking.

In the yard, Cen Daonian brought two buckets of water, and Caesar ran to help pour the water from the buckets into the tank by the kitchen door.

After Cen Chaoan washed up, he helped to move the chairs from the house. After the tables and chairs were set up, the rice porridge was almost done. Caesar went back to the house and lifted the lid. A strong rice fragrance spread over the surface. Caesar took out the yellow rice porridge. Clean the pot quickly, add a little oil, and fill the bottom of the pot with firewood. When the fire is hot, put two cloves of garlic into the pot and throw the chopped vegetables into it. It needs to be turned a few times, and it comes out crisp and delicious.

Seeing that the vegetable leaves are slightly translucent and green, sprinkle salt on the cassia and flip it quickly a few times, and a plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables is ready.

Serve the steamed pancakes with eggs and duck eggs together, and put them on the small square table in the courtyard together with the vegetables.

Caesar came out with a bowl of yellow rice porridge, and when he put it on the small wooden table, his arm shook and he almost missed the bowl.

Father Cen quickly reached out to catch the bowl, "What's wrong?"

Cassia shook his head, "It's okay, I scratched a little while hunting, and it has been bandaged."

Cen Daonian put down his chopsticks, "Go to the town to have a look, don't delay even with minor injuries."

Jue Ming replied vaguely, and Cen Daonian took out another dime of silver and put it on the table, "Go and see, even a small wound can't be delayed."
