Traveling through ancient times as a hunter

Cheng Duo went up the mountain. He accidentally found a herd of wild deer yesterday.But because it was too late, he had already hit the rabbit in his hand, so he didn't chase it.

Cheng Duo first came to the place where the wild deer were found drinking water yesterday. There were some scattered footprints by the water source, some big and some small. Judging from his experience, it should be a small herd of deer.

This kind of wild deer will usually stay in the same place for two or three days, and will not change to the next place until the grass and leaves they like are exhausted.

Cheng Duo followed the footprints and found a herd of deer in the hinterland of a mountain.Carefully hiding behind trees and bushes, he watched a wild deer grazing away from the herd, and came near him after eating.

It's a pity for Cheng Duo. For such a long distance, it would be great if there were bows and arrows. The hatchet is too big to target, and it is easy to surprise the prey when thrown out.

Wild deer have a very sensitive sense of hearing, and they run even faster, and disappear without a trace if there is a slight disturbance.

Cheng Duo was about to move towards the stray wild deer, when he suddenly heard a low growl of a depressing beast, followed by a gust of wind——

Cheng Duo quickly rolled to the side, and at the same time struck back with a hatchet. The beast let out a painful wail, and quickly jumped out of Cheng Duo's hunting range.

At this time, Cheng Duo also saw clearly that it was a wolf with a strong physique and thick fur. Half of its face was cut by Cheng Duo's hatchet. Duo.

The wolf was very smart. Seeing that it was not Cheng Duo's opponent, it roared up to the sky, and quickly got into the woods.Cheng Duo noticed that several wild wolves jumped out of the shadows of the forest, and disappeared quickly following its footsteps.

Obviously, it was a wolf, and Cheng Duo suspected that the gray wolf he had killed before belonged to this wolf pack.

The alpha wolf came to seek revenge on him.

These wolves are really sharp. He just went up the mountain a little more diligently in the past two days, and he was followed by them.

Cheng Duo raised his arm to look, and saw that the wolf's fangs had accidentally scratched his skin, leaving a bloody mark.

If it was in peacetime, he would definitely have to go to the hospital for rabies or something, but now he doesn't care.He is not even afraid of zombie viruses, and he can still eat expired canned meat, so how can he be afraid of these?

It's a pity that in this way, the wild deer were also scared away.Cheng Duo had no choice but to catch a bamboo rat and go back.

Maybe it was because of the habit of raising a family in the past, Cheng Duo always felt that Brother Yong found out that he was injured, and he didn't catch anything... It was a bit embarrassing.

"Are you back?" Seeing Cheng Duo carrying the prey out of the forest, Brother Yong, who was picking wild vegetables by the water, got up unconsciously and greeted him, staring curiously at the prey in Cheng Duo's hand.

Cheng Duo showed the bamboo mouse to Brother Yong with the hand with the sleeve intact: "A bamboo mouse, I'll take care of it for you in a while."

"it is good."

Seeing Brother Yong still standing still, Cheng Duo tried to divert his attention: "Where did you get the wild vegetables?"

"Just now I saw it on the ridge next to it, so I picked it by the way." Brother Yong didn't doubt that there was him, and after answering Cheng Duo's question, he obediently went back to continue picking vegetables.

But when Cheng Duo was skinning the bamboo rat, Brother Yong, who was watching, still found a problem: "Why is your sleeve torn?"

Cheng Duo pretended to be ignorant and raised his hand to have a look: "Maybe it was accidentally scratched when we were on the mountain."

"Then take it off later, and I'll mend it for you." Brother Yong said naturally, and after he finished speaking, he found that something was wrong. Cheng Duo is not his elder brother, second brother, nor his father. Why should he mend it for him? Woolen cloth!

"Uh...you can mend it yourself, it's not convenient for me to hurt my finger today."

Cheng Duo glanced at him when he heard the words, and sure enough, he saw blood on his right thumb. He thought it was a coincidence that both of them accidentally saw blood today.

"The shopkeeper Zhou will be here in two days. I ordered some medicine for sores from him, and I'll get some for you when the time comes."

"No need." Brother Yong trembled, and unconsciously hid his hands behind his back.In fact, scratching his hand when he got off the ground was quite normal, he didn't take that little injury seriously at all, he was just making excuses for saying that.

The reason why Brother Yong wanted to hide his hands was because Cheng Duo stared at his hands, and he was a little ashamed.His hands were ugly, with not only old scars but calluses and chilblains.

In fact, Cheng Duo's hands are thinner than his. As a brother, he still feels ashamed.

Cheng Duo nodded when he heard the words, but didn't pay attention to it——Brother Yong's injury may be cured when Zhou Merchant brings medicine.

Brother Yong was a little disappointed for some reason, maybe it was rare that someone other than his father cared about him, but he refused; it might also be because Cheng Duo saw his rough hands, so he changed his mind and didn't give him the golden sore medicine, because It's useless to wipe...

But fortunately, Brother Yong is a strong brother, and quickly put this loss behind him.He couldn't even have enough food and clothing, but he didn't have time to think about it.

But after Brother Yong's reminder, Cheng Duo remembered that he had bought cloth and hadn't found anyone to help him with needlework yet.

In fact, there is no need to look for it. Isn't there a ready-made candidate...

Cheng Duo was also worried that Brother Yong would run away after planting the vegetables, because he didn't need to pay too much attention to the vegetable fields, so he wouldn't have any problems if he came to see them for ten days and a half months.But in this way, their previous agreement to help cook before the house is repaired will end early.

Cheng Duo couldn't bear to part with such a cheap and obedient "cook".

Although Brother Yong refused to help mend the small hole in his clothes in order to avoid suspicion, but Cheng Duo knew that this little guy was actually very innocent. He was pitiful in the cave before, so why didn't he mend it for him?

Besides, the timing of this request is also very important——

When eating, Brother Yong took a bowl of food to the side to eat as usual.Cheng Duo saw that he only picked up three pieces of bamboo rat meat, so he packed them all in bamboo tubes.One of the two cornbreads was also packed, and only the rest of the cornbread and wild vegetables were eaten.

Cheng Duo took a piece of bamboo rat meat and chewed it, then pretended to say: "Hey, today's bamboo rat meat is a bit old..."

Brother Yong got nervous when he heard that, thinking that Cheng Duo thought he didn't do well, and this was related to his income of two cents per meal: "Did I go too far when I fried it? I will definitely pay attention next time!"

"No, it's because the rat meat is a bit old." Cheng Duo looked like he couldn't eat.

Brother Yong looked at him anxiously, it was still meat, it was not impossible to eat it.If he had such a bowl of meat, he wouldn't mind if it was burnt, let alone a little old!

Cheng Duo covered his teeth: "I don't know why, my gums are a little swollen today, and my teeth hurt after eating this rat meat."

"Oh..." He understands what a gum is, and a toothache.

"What should I do? This meat will definitely get older if it is reheated tomorrow. Why don't I bring it back to you? I'll just make another chicken tomorrow. The chicken is softer."

"Really, really?" Brother Yong couldn't say anything in surprise. He ate well at Cheng Duo's place every day, and whenever he thought that his father had nothing to eat at home, he felt very sorry.

Although Cheng Duo didn't talk about him, he was also very conscious, and would occasionally put a little back in a bamboo tube.

"Really, when have I lied to you?" Seeing that Brother Yong was about to use the bamboo tube, Cheng Duo simply pointed to one of the two bowls of bamboo rat meat and said, "Take this bowl back, and I'll bring the bowl back tomorrow." Just send it back to me."

Brother Yong thought about it, and happily put away the bowl of bamboo rat meat.

Cheng Duo seemed to talk a lot today, and he sighed again as he ate and said, "I accidentally tore my sleeve today, and I only have this clothes. I bought cloth and I can't sew it. I really don't know what to change next time." When will I be so bad..."

Brother Yong had just benefited from him, and when he was full of gratitude, he said without hesitation, "I'll do it for you!"

"Oh? Thank you so much!" Cheng Duo didn't give Yong Geer a chance to repent. It's too much, he even wants his little brother to wrap his shoes for him.

In the end, he pretended to hesitate and pretended to care about others: "I won't cause you any trouble, if it's really inconvenient..." He just gave the money, which was considered impossible.

"No, I'll do it in the mountains, so others won't find out." Brother Yong was fooled into a fever, and agreed immediately.

"That's good." The goal was achieved, Cheng Duo picked up the chopsticks again, and wiped out everything on the table, including the "hard to eat" bamboo rat meat that he had just disliked for being too old .

Brother Yong was stunned for a while, but he was just a native country boy, completely unaware of the twists and turns of modern people.So he didn't understand how he was tricked by a bowl of bamboo rat meat...

Cheng Duo looked at the little brother obediently cleaning up the dishes, thinking about it, he still felt sorry: Forget it, when the shopkeeper Zhou comes, he will buy a can of sheep oil for the little brother, and take it as a thank you gift .

In fact, Cheng Duo has also seen many poor people in the last days, and Yong Geer is not even in the top ten.But who told him that he was really simple? Sometimes Cheng Duo even felt that Brother Yong's simplicity and kindness were like a demon mirror, showing his ugliness clearly.

In the last days, Cheng Duo might not be with such people.But in Yang'er Village, where the pace of life is slow and boring, he thinks it's good to have such a person by his side, at least he doesn't have to worry about being stabbed in the back...

Brother Yong took the bowl of meat home and shared it with his father.He just washed the bowl and hid it deep in the cupboard after eating, but somehow his elder brother dug it out.

"Where did you get this bowl?"

"I, I..." Brother Yong was very nervous. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Shanwazi changed hair ropes with Datou and the others last time, so he changed his version out of a hurry: "The last time the peddler came to the village to sell things, go In a hurry, I accidentally dropped a bowl and was picked up by the children in the village, and I exchanged it with two cakes for them."

He was betting that Cheng Duo lived in a remote place, and no one in the village knew that he was working for Cheng Duo until now, and neither did his elder and second brothers.

Brother Yong knew that his elder brother and second brother still remembered the last time they were beaten, and if they knew that he was working with Cheng Duo, a beating would definitely be indispensable.

Li Da really believed it, and took the bowl to look left and right: "No wonder this bowl is so new."

Brother Yong couldn't help but be thankful at this time, he was afraid of leaving a smell, so he washed it several times with plant ash.

Seeing Li Da and Li Er going to the cupboard to get other bowls, Brother Yong couldn't help but said: "Brother, these are the only bowls in our house..."

Li Da pushed him away impatiently: "I don't know? I don't need your nonsense! Go away, I'm annoyed when I see you!"

Li Er also sneered: "Just these few broken bowls, what kind of treasure do you still think?"

"You two bastards——" Li Wang heard the voice, and just in time to support Brother Yong who was pushed down, he was so angry that he wanted to scold the two scoundrels.

"Damn old man, don't think that I won't beat you if you are my father, I will beat you if you are annoying with long-winded words!"

"Get out of the way!"

After speaking, he brushed the two of them away and walked away.

"Bastards, unfilial sons, why don't they die outside!" Li Wang clutched his chest, his heart throbbing with anger.

Brother Yong hurriedly supported him: "Father, forget it, it's just a few bowls, if they take it away..."

As for Cheng Duo's bowl, he had to pay him with his cooking wages.That bowl is different from theirs. It is glazed and painted with patterns. It's more than ten words...
