The Sweet Little Fulang

Early in the morning, Lu Gu avoided Shen Xuanqing with his busy schedule, and was hugged to sleep all night. When he woke up in the morning, Shen Xuanqing let him go calmly, but he couldn't be so calm.

I thought Shen Xuanqing was going to take the dog into the mountain again after eating and drinking, but I didn’t expect to go today. The tall young man raised a long machete and said, “There is a bamboo forest not far from here. I’ll go and chop some bamboo. Come back to weave bamboo cages, will you go?"

There was expectation in his eyes, he didn't leave after speaking, he obviously wanted to go together, no matter how smart Lu Gu was, this could still be seen, he nodded after hesitating.

Shen Xuanqing breathed a sigh of relief, he knew what happened to Lu Gu last night, the movement in his arms was so obvious, he couldn't have woken up, but out of some selfishness, he pretended to be asleep and didn't let go, the softness in his arms allowed him to relax. A good night's sleep.

Lu Gu carried an empty bamboo basket with a hatchet inside, and Shen Xuanqing carried a machete and hemp rope. Although they were in the mountains, they still locked the door.

The dog trotted through the woods, sniffing everywhere, and sometimes raised its hind legs to urinate on tree roots to mark it.

After walking for about two quarters of an hour, Lu Gu saw the dark green bamboo grove in front of him. Shen Xuanqing said that there were autumn bamboo shoots in it, which were not as crisp and tender as spring bamboo shoots, but they could be stewed with fat-headed dove in old soup, and they could be boiled to make pickles, but The two of them only had a pickle jar, and they haven't finished eating, so they don't need to pickle at the moment.

So after arriving at the place, Shen Xuanqing went to cut bamboo by himself. He was looking for bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. Seeing him walking aside, Big Hui followed, and the two fine dogs scattered in the forest, finding a pothole or something. Just planing, sometimes tilting his head and ears, looking very alert.

When they disperse, they are always where Shen Xuanqing can see them. As for Lu Gu, this bamboo forest is deeper and quieter than the one in the front mountain. The movement of bamboo.

The autumn bamboo shoots were quite big, and he took a hatchet and slashed them hard several times before breaking them off. Since they were only to be eaten in stewed old soup, one large autumn bamboo shoot was enough, and they could cut quite a few, but they all came, and he Still cut two.

He memorized the road to the bamboo forest, so he can come and find it by himself when he makes autumn bamboo shoots in the future.

The long bamboo fell down, making a dull sound in the air, Lu Gu walked over with the bamboo basket on his shoulders, and whispered to Shen Xuanqing who was looking at him: "When I came in, I saw fungus outside, I'm looking for something to eat. "

Shen Xuanqing didn't respond, and said: "You shout so loudly, let it follow you."

Bringing a dog with him in the mountains is a reassuring thing, Lu Gu listened to him, and Da Hui followed him after he shouted.

Someone in the village died from eating poisonous fungus. It happened when he was a child. Lu Gu always remembered it, so he only dared to adopt what he knew.

He was lucky today, he found a cluster of xanthella fungus, the florets are so big, one flake can fry half a bowl, not to mention that there are several flakes in this nest.

Looking under the tree, he could still hear the sound of chopping bamboo. He looked back from time to time, afraid that he would not see the bamboo forest if he walked far away.

For unfamiliar mountains and forests, it is always good to be cautious, otherwise, if you stray into the dense forest, there will be trees everywhere, and you will not be able to tell the direction at all, let alone go out.

Some fungi looked good on the surface, but when they were picked up, insects and ants gnawed them under the canopy, so they threw them away.

I walked all the way to search, maybe there are few people in the deep mountains, and the fungus has not rotted yet, so I asked him to find a lot. If I can't finish eating them in two days, I can dry them in the sun and save them for late autumn and winter. I'm not afraid of picking more. .

When he realized that he couldn't hear the sound of chopping bamboo, he hurriedly called Dahui to go back. He didn't feel it when he was looking for the fungus, but he didn't realize that he had walked a long way when he walked back.

Before entering the bamboo grove, I saw Shen Xuanqing coming out. Seeing him back, his expression was not so bad, and he said, "I was going to call you."

The only way to find someone in the mountains was by shouting, and Lu Gu brought a dog with him, whose big gray ears were sharper than humans, so he ran towards the sound after barking.

Lu Gu quickly said: "I didn't pay attention when I was looking for the fungus, I walked away."

Afraid of being blamed, he showed Shen Xuanqing the bamboo basket, carefully asking for credit.

Shen Xuanqing glanced at the fungus in the basket, there were quite a lot, seeing Lu Gu's fear, his face became more gentle, and said: "Well, it's fine, the bamboo is cut, and I'll tie it up and drag it back."

If there was no reprimand, Lu Gu felt at ease, carried the bamboo basket on his back and went into the bamboo forest with Shen Xuanqing.

The weight of the six long bamboos is really not light. Shen Xuanqing tied the bamboos together with hemp rope, and carried the bamboo roots on his shoulders. up.

Of course, this was for him, if it was Lu Gu, it would be heavy enough to carry two bamboos, and the wet green bamboos just cut down were so tall, it really wasn't that light.

Before they got out of the bamboo grove, the two fine dogs scratched the ground fiercely, and came out with a big bamboo rat out of the hole in the ground. Xuan Qing scolded, the gray and white dog let go, and the black dog took it back.

On the way back, Lu Gu looked at the wormwood in the field. When he was in Lu's house, Du Hehua bought cloth heads and colorful embroidery thread and asked him to make a sachet for medicine. Regardless of the sachet or the sachet, he would put some wormwood leaves in it.

When Wei Lanxiang bought colored thread that day, he thought about it a little. When his mother was around, he was good at embroidery. She embroidered the sachet and medicine pouch delicately and beautifully, and it sold well in the town, so he At that time, Mother had some money in her hand, so that he could live a good life for a few days when he was a child.

His mother left early, so that he didn't learn all the embroidery, but he still had some points, and it was no problem to embroider a medicine bag, but he didn't have a copper coin, no money to buy cloth and embroidery thread, and no medicinal materials.

He didn't have the guts to ask the Shen family for money, but after seeing the red goji berries covered with twigs, his heart moved slightly, and he had an idea.

Even if goji berries are cheap, they are worth selling more, and there are many good things in the mountains, as long as you work hard to find them, you can always find some that sell for money.

If he can really sell it for money, even if he doesn't buy colored threads, it will at least make Shen Xuanqing happier, and maybe he can be given a few copper coins, so that he will have money.

Thinking of this, Lu Gu quietly glanced at Shen Xuanqing who was walking in front with the bamboo on his shoulders.

He is timid and stupid and has no idea, but he has a little selfishness in his heart. He knows that Shen Xuanqing is a good person. If not, he would not take the initiative to make money like this, or he would be like Du Hehua and take all the money away No, he doesn't even have a penny.

He secretly calculated in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything, he only paid attention to what was on the way back.

When he reached the open space outside the courtyard, Shen Xuanqing threw the heavy green bamboo on his shoulders on the ground, and turned his shoulders a few times before opening the lock.

The black dog put the killed bamboo rat on the ground, barked several times, and motioned to roast delicious meat for it, but Shen Xuanqing ignored it, opened the door, unloaded the bamboo basket from Lu Gu's back, and carried it in.

"I'm going to kill birds by the river. There's a medicine stove in the low house. You can look for it and use that to make old soup later." He said as he took the two fat-headed doves, which were shot down with a slingshot yesterday. It's time to die, just to make a meaty meal.

Lu Gu complied naturally, searched around the low house according to his instructions, and found the medicine stove covered with a thick layer of dust.

This was used by the old Orion. Shen Xuanqing was young and strong. He hadn't been sick a few times in the past few years. Occasionally, he had a typhoid fever and drank a bowl of ginger soup. The medicine stove was basically never used.

It takes a long time to cook the stewed old soup, and I can’t eat it at noon, and the big pot needs to be fried and cooked, so the stewed soup can’t be taken up. Fortunately, there is still this thing.

The two of them were busy with each other, and the morning passed like this. After dinner, Shen Xuanqing was cutting bamboo outside the courtyard gate. The open space outside was large and spacious. He sat on the stool, thinking of the bamboo chicken with hemp tail, and turned to Lu Gu who had finished cleaning the kitchen. Said: "Look at how the bamboo chicken is doing, and see if it eats the chopped chicken grass."

Lu Gu went to the backyard to see. Last night, Shen Xuanqing applied herbal medicine to the bamboo chicken's injured wing, so that it could survive for a few days so that it wouldn't fester and stink.

Seeing that the chicken grass was less, the bamboo chicken cooed a few times when it saw people coming, and hid in the corner, Lu Gu knew that it was all right.

"If the chicken grass is eaten, it will also bark." He went outside the courtyard and whispered to Shen Xuanqing, but he didn't leave after he finished speaking, and he seemed to have something to say.

The courtyard faces south, and the sun is very strong in front of the house. Sensing his hesitation, Shen Xuanqing looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Only then did Lu Gu whisper, "I, I want to boil water to wash my hair."

It is not without reason that he is so timid. He will be scolded for using more firewood in the Lu family. Although the Shen family has not treated him badly, but be careful and tell him what to do. Xuan Qing was working, but he was taking a bath.

Shen Xuanqing paused before saying: "Just burn it, enough water and firewood."

In the end, he said in a low voice, "You just do what you want, and you don't have to disagree with me."

Lu Gu was taken aback by these words, and finally, his eyes were full of gratitude, and he replied in a low voice, "Okay."

-

The moon sets and the sun rises, the cycle continues, and a few days pass in the blink of an eye.

Lu Gu gradually got used to the life in the mountains. During the day, Shen Xuanqing took the dog out to hunt, he cooked and waited, and worked to weave bamboo cages in his free time. Taking advantage of the good weather these few days, he even unpacked, washed and dried the bedding.

In the past two days, he had been picking wolfberry branches in the weeds outside. The grass in the mountains was tall and dirty, and he would inevitably bring dust with him when he came back.

The embarrassment of that night made him learn to be a good boy. He boiled water to scrub during the day when Shen Xuanqing was away, and the sun was shining at noon, so he was not afraid of the cold after washing his hair.

Shen Xuanqing scrubbed diligently so that he didn't dare to get dirty.

Just after noon, before Shen Shi, the sky changed, dark clouds gathered, covering the sun, the sky was gray, Lu Gu was looking outside the door, not long after he heard a dog barking from a distance, he knew Shen Xuanqing was back up.

Fortunately, I came back early today, and it started to rain after dinner. The rain was heavy, pattering on the eaves and ground.

Bamboo chickens were driven to the firewood house to shelter from the rain, and the rabbit cage was also inside. The goji berries had been harvested from the sun, and there was nothing to be drenched in the yard. Lu Gu had nothing to do, and sat in the main room before dark. Weaving bamboo baskets while listening to the rain, the room is not bright, and he is reluctant to light the oil lamp, so he can only sit here.

As for Shen Xuanqing, he noticed the clean smell of wild bath beads on Lu Gu's body today, obviously after washing, he didn't want to get dirty in front of his husband and lose face, so he boiled water and was taking a bath in the kitchen right now.

After the head and body were all dry, the kitchen door opened. Lu Gu raised his head subconsciously when he heard the movement, and saw Shen Xuanqing running in from the rain with a few steps.

He stopped what he was doing, murmured a few times and didn't know what to say, and he didn't dare to look into Shen Xuanqing's eyes, so he just lowered his head.

Shen Xuanqing was not annoyed either, he left early and came back late these days, and he could only hold Lu Gu at night after he fell asleep, and he came back early today, allowing him to spend more time with Fu Lang, and it was too late to be happy.
