The Sweet Little Fulang

The doors and windows were all open, and not long after noon, the sun was shining brightly, shining in from outside.

Shen Xuanqing slept in the west room and the east room where the old Orion lived before. He was used to living here and never changed it.

Because of the coldness in the mountains, only one window was opened on the south wall, the window faced the front yard, and the relatively strong wooden bed in the room was placed on the west side avoiding the window, facing the door horizontally.

Lu Gu was lying on the innermost side, there was a narrow gap between the bed and the mud wall, different from that at the bottom of the mountain, Shen Xuanqing's room had elaborate bed curtains, here was a bare board bed, for fear of soiling the mattress by leaning against the mud wall , it is farther away.

The sun shone in through the window, bright and majestic, and fine dust could be seen floating in the beam.

Different from standing and working, once he lay down and was under the eaves, he felt cool after a short while, but Lu Gu was lying straight, without moving a bit, let alone pulling the quilt.

He was nervous, and Shen Xuanqing was a little too, and both of them remained silent.

The mountain was quiet, but a few dogs barking outside broke the silence. After going up the mountain, the three dogs were not tied up, and they did not run around. They just ran and played nearby. When they were thirsty, they went to the river to drink water. Lying down on the ground, Shen Xuanqing knew it was all right after hearing it, but just barked, and stopped paying attention to the outside.

He noticed Lu Gu's stiffness, and remembered that when the two of them slept together at night, Lu Gu was also like this, so cautious that he would not turn over even if he was asleep, what he looked like when he was sleeping, and what he looked like when he woke up, rarely will change.

Feeling cold, Shen Xuanqing sat up and pulled the quilt from the foot of the bed, covering it with Lu Gu.

The new quilt was still in the sack, he was still young and childish, and his shyness had not faded away. Shen Xuanqing quietly looked down at the quilt. Fortunately, he had been exposed to the sun a while ago, so it didn't smell bad or dirty. I was relieved.

"Get up early, don't do anything else today, it's okay to sleep for a while." After he lay down, he finally found words.

Hearing his deep and steady voice, Lu Gu gradually relaxed for some reason, and finally hummed softly, his stiff body finally relaxed a bit.

Chasing the mountain road all morning was not easy for anyone. After relaxing physically and mentally, Lu Gu closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.

Shen Xuanqing also closed his eyes and fell asleep, after a while, when Lu Gu's breathing became stable, he opened his eyes again.

The hand that was pressed against his back shoulder when applying the medicine was so soft that he was still thinking about it in a daze.

Lu Gu was sleeping next to him, his arm was not far from his arm, as long as he moved a little, he could touch that hand.

The lightly clenched hands were hidden under the quilt, no one could see them, not even the person whose hands were clenched knew.

-

This sleep lasted for more than half an hour, and when Lu Gu woke up, his fatigue faded a lot, and his spirit returned.

In the afternoon, the sun reached the slanting upper part of the west, and it hadn’t set yet. He boiled water, poured the medicinal boiling water for repelling snakes and insects bought by Shen Xuanqing, and stirred it with a wooden stick, and it turned into half a pot of black steaming water. Potion of heat.

Shen Xuanqing found some unused cloth strips for him, and wrapped them around wooden sticks, so that the potion could be applied to the doors, windows and windows. One coat was not enough, and after it dried a little, he had to apply it twice, so that the potion Seeping into the wood, there is always a smell of medicine, which can prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants from crawling into the room and biting people.

These things in the mountains are not the same as outside, they are more or less poisonous, if they are fine during the day, they can be seen killed and thrown out, but at night, people can’t find it when they are asleep, the pain of being bitten is mild, red, swollen and hard for a few days Needless to say, pain and itching are uncomfortable.

Not counting the firewood house, there are five rooms in total including the kitchen and the small house with sundries. They all have doors and windows, and the potion has melted so much that Lu Gu just painted it all. He bought it with money, but he was not willing to pay it back, so he went to paint the firewood door again.

Although there are no people and no food in the firewood room, if there is something hiding in the firewood and hay, I have to worry about it, so I might as well wipe it all off.

The courtyard door was wide open, and he was busy inside. Shen Xuanqing took the shovel outside and dug a narrow hole around the courtyard. The soil pit was about as deep as the head of the shovel, which was not too deep. He planned to bury the medicine in it. .

When he finished digging the circle and sprinkled the ground medicine powder inside, Lu Gu finished his work and came out.

Seeing Shen Xuanqing tilting the medicine bag while walking and pouring it into the pit, he picked up the shovel on the ground, followed behind and began to fill the soil.

"No, you do it yourself." Filling the soil is a laborious task, so Shen Xuanqing switched with him.

Big Hui and the two small dogs watched them work, and they seemed to understand what Shen Xuanqing was doing. The three dogs straddled the narrow pit, half playing and half helping, I used my claws to dig the soil I dug out before digging into the bottom of the pit, and it looked quite hard.

This scene made Lu Gu have a clear and shallow smile in his eyes. He never smiles very often, and now he smiled gently, but it dissipated in an instant.

Shen Xuanqing was filling the soil, because of the actions of the big grays, he couldn't help laughing, and inadvertently raised his head to look at Lu Gu, it was this look that made him see that smile.

There seemed to be a "Zheng" in his heart that broke the strings, making him stunned in place, and it seemed that there were ripples, stirring up a pool of spring water to ripple.

I am used to seeing Lu Gu's cowardly appearance. Where has Shen Xuanqing seen this scene before? At a loss, he panicked, and when he came back to his senses at the end, he only knew that Lu Gu was his husband, fortunately, he was his husband.

While Lu Gu was watched by him, he thought he was lazy and made a mistake, so he quickly lowered his head and sprayed the medicine, not daring to look at the dog again.

There is realgar in the medicine powder, and other medicinal materials for repelling snakes and insects, which can keep the long insects out of the courtyard. If Shen Xuanqing is alone, it is enough to buy these, but when buying medicines, he wants Lu Gu to come up with him. No matter what, the skin and flesh are tenderer than a rough man, so it is always right to have an extra precaution.

It took four whole packs of medicine powder to finish this round. Shen Xuanqing was not as fast as he was when filling the soil. After Lu Gu finished, he would step on the filled soil so that the empty soil could be solidified, so that he would not be afraid of rain. The powder was washed away by the rain.

After the two of them finished their work, the sun walked west again, and without doing anything else today, Lu Gu went to the kitchen to cook.

It's autumn here, and they usually eat rice soup when they get up early. The warm and soft white rice is warm and moist in the stomach. This morning, because I was hungry, I didn't cook rice and only cooked vegetables. This meal has time to cook rice soup.

There was not much water in the tank, so Shen Xuanqing carried the wooden barrel to the river to fetch water. There was a low place more than a mile away from the house, which was the Qingxi River that flowed from a deeper place, so it was very convenient to fetch water.

After the white rice was put into the pot, Lu Gu put the cage up, put the steamed buns and four sliced ​​pumpkins, added a fire to the bottom of the pot, then turned around and went to the counter to chop vegetables, busy all by himself.

Shen Xuanqing ran a few times to fill up the waist-high water tank. At this time, the cauldron was steaming, and the Lugu vegetables were cut. She wiped her hands with her apron, squatted on the ground and added two sticks of firewood. Let the fire simmer for a while longer.

Shen Xuanqing, who put down the barrel, glanced at the chopping board. There was only one vegetable, which was the hanging melon he picked from his third uncle's house yesterday. He brought two big ones, one was enough to fry a big bowl, and Lu Gu also cut three. Green chili, I plan to use chili to fry.

I ate stewed chicken yesterday, but today it’s normal to switch back to vegetarian. It’s like this in the countryside, and eating meat is only occasionally.

But for Shen Xuanqing, he is a hunter, and he is different from the man who works in the crop field. In the past, he himself was reluctant to eat meat in order to sell money on the mountain, so he just dug some wild vegetables and cooked them. Now Lu Gu When you come up with him, you have to prepare something meaty, even if you don't eat it all at once, you can't suffer if you can cut a piece of pork or sliced ​​meat when cooking.

He is so tall here, it's hard for people to ignore him, but fortunately, Lu Gu has work to do, so he won't be embarrassed by standing still.

The pumpkin was steamed, and the steamed buns were steaming hot. When I took out the drawer, I saw that the rice soup was also cooked. It was so hot that it was hard to eat. Just as I was about to stir-fry, Lu Gu scooped out the rice soup.

Shen Xuanqing had nothing to do, but his eyesight was not bad, so he poured a gourd of water into the pot after scooping it up.

Lu Gu scrubbed it hastily, scooped it out, wiped the water in the pot dry with a cloth, and added some firewood to the bottom of the stove. Once the fire was hot, the cauldron dried up visible to the naked eye, and the cooking was done in one go.

Seeing that there was only half of the oil left in the clay pot, Shen Xuanqing thought to himself that the oil would be brought up next time, and there were only two of them, these would be enough for a while, so don't worry.

He was thinking again, if it was getting colder today, a can of lard would be delicious to cook. Now wild boars are all in the deep forest. If you are lucky, you can meet one. If you can’t meet them in half a month, you should go to the town Buy some fat meat back.

Lu Gu didn't know what he was pondering about, but he just saw that the dishes were fried and not sticky, and his heart was at peace.

During the meal, Lu Gu also picked up a small bowl of pickled vegetables, steamed buns and rice porridge, steamed pumpkin and stir-fried vegetables, one meal was enough to satisfy the two of them.

They had eaten early today, and the sun was just about to set when Lu Gu finished cleaning up in the kitchen.

Shen Xuanqing didn't intend to go out to see those traps. Firstly, it was tiring to drive the scooter to drive the mountain road, and secondly, it was because of selfishness. He looked at Lu Gu and couldn't help wanting to get closer.

As for what to do after getting close, he couldn't think of it himself. With a calm and handsome face with little expression, his heart was tangled and tense. In the end, he couldn't think of a reason, so he had to give up.

"I'm going to lay a net in the river, will you go?" Shen Xuanqing asked, and then added: "I also recognize the nearby road."

Lu Gu came out of the kitchen and was thinking about what to do, when he heard this, he nodded slightly and followed him out.

The river is not far away, and you can see it at a glance to the west from the gate of the hospital.Two pepper trees are planted on the west side of the courtyard wall. When the trees grow up, they are like a barrier, and the two are not small when they are connected together.

It's early autumn, and the green peppercorns will turn red after a while. Now that we're close, we can still smell a faint numbness.

"There are more than 30 miles in there, and you will go to the deeper old forest. If you have nothing to do, don't go there. The old forest is dense, and it is difficult to get out without a dog. I don't usually go there, so don't go there."

Shen Xuanqing carried the net on her back, pointed to the north while walking and told Lu Gu, and finally said: "If you have something important to go back, and you don't remember the way you came, you won't get lost if you follow the river, but there are some places beside the river that are hard to get lost. Let’s go, and we still have to go around some roads in the mountains before flowing down.”

"Well, I see." Lu Gu nodded seriously.

The big gray and the little dog were eating in the yard, they smelled the hot wheat bran and mixed noodles mixed with leftover soup in the basin, turned their heads and were reluctant to eat, but Shen Xuanqing went out, obviously there was no bone or stick today, so they had to accept their fate and bow their heads Eat up.

Shen Xuanqing has never been treated badly in raising dogs. After all, if he wants to hunt along with him, he needs to have good physical strength. He can raise the three of them so that their skin is smooth and smooth, but they are not gnawed on the bones every day.

After he cast his net by the river, the three dogs ran over after eating, and circled around them.

Having been frightened by the black dog before, Lu Gu didn't dare to get close to it, but Big Hui was okay, he followed his legs to protect him when he went up the mountain, he seemed very loyal, he even dared to touch Big Hui's head.

Shen Xuanqing tied the edge of the net to the big rock on the river bank, and when he came back tomorrow morning, some fish might be caught.

The river is rushing and flowing, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the water surface, which is really beautiful.

The mountains and forests are quiet, and sometimes there is a mellow or crisp bird song, which makes people forget their minds, as if they are in that paradise, far away from the entanglement of the world.
