Mountain People

Chapter 5: Seeing the silver, life planning

Dong Chenghu hurriedly put down the prey in his hand, ran outside to build a bonfire, and then said embarrassedly: "Shuixiu, you can go first, I will deal with the prey, wait a moment Let's have our fill first and then discuss."

That's all, Gu Shuixiu sighed again.

Dong Chenghu carried a prey in each of his left and right hands, and ran out excitedly, because the room was dimly lit, Gu Shuixiu didn't understand what he was catching.

After tidying up the room, Gu Shuixiu saw that she really had nothing to toss about, so she went out of the room and sat down by the bonfire, quietly waiting for Dong Chenghu.

Watching the sky full of stars in the mountains is really beautiful, which cannot be seen in the 21st century. The mountain breeze at night was so chilly, Gu Shuixiu sneezed, and hurriedly went into the house and put on some clothes.

At this time, Dong Chenghu had returned and roasted the prey on the fire.

At this time, Gu Shuixiu remembered that she didn't seem to have seen pots and pans at Dong's house, and three black lines were immediately drawn across her forehead.

"Do you eat barbecue every day? Haven't you eaten anything like rice?"

Dong Chenghu was stunned for a moment, and was at a loss for words.

"I have been hunting outside together. When I am hungry, I use the iron pot on the shelf to cook some boiled meat or wild vegetables on the spot. If you hit a big prey, you will go to the town to sell it that day, and buy a few steamed buns back, you can eat them for a few days."

"For a few days..."

Gu Shuixiu looked at Dong Chenghu's big physique, it was hard to imagine how he got it.

Seeing that her face was still not good, Dong Chenghu quickly ran into the house, took out a broken purse from the haystack on the wooden bed, and happily handed it to Gu Shuixiu.

"What is this?"

Gu Shuixiu pinched her purse, there seemed to be a lot of money in it, and her eyes on Dong Chenghu changed instantly.

"Where did you get so much money?"

"Shuixiu, don't get me wrong, these are all saved by me in the past three years. When my father was dying, he told me to save some money to marry a daughter-in-law. If I can't use the money, I keep it all the time, and before I know it, I save it."

Gu Shuixiu really doesn't know how to describe Dong Chenghu, call him stupid, he also knows that the money is not revealed, and the hiring doesn't use money, but prey. Say he is smart, he lives like a beggar, but I really can't say he is smart.

Gu Shuixiu shook out the silver coins in her purse and counted them, and immediately took a breath. There were about thirty taels of silver coins plus or minus. The villagers in Caozi Village probably didn’t have that many. Deposits, let's say Gu Zhenzhu's family, at most seven or eight taels.

In this dynasty, a family spends less than two taels of silver a year, what is the concept of thirty taels?

Gu Shuixiu felt that she could now plan with Dong Chenghu to go outside and take root.

However, this thought just flashed by and was suppressed by Gu Shuixiu.

Dong Chenghu relied on hunting for a living. If he went outside, his livelihood would become a problem, and he might not earn as much as hunting. In addition, the world is not peaceful now. The people at the bottom who have no power and are bullied by others, rather than live carefully outside, it is better to be comfortable in this paradise.

If you want to live together, we can't live in a hole all the time, and there is no ventilation there, so it's not a good choice for a home, and we'll sum it up later."

Dong Chenghu listened quietly to Gu Shuixiu's plan for the future of the two, his heart was full of expectations, as if he had endless energy, even if Gu Shuixiu asked him to work hard, he would be unequivocal.

The two happily solved the two roast chickens.

Gu Shuixiu yawned in distress.

Dong Chenghu thought that today was the night of the couple's bridal chamber, his heartbeat instantly accelerated, and when Gu Shuixiu was confused, he quickly went in to make the bed.

Gu Shuixiu only thought at this moment that the two of them were going to have a wedding night, and all the sleepy bugs ran away in an instant. Husband for a day?

Gu Shuixiu was at a loss.

Dong Chenghu made the bed, and immediately came out to call Gu Shuixiu, blushing and embarrassedly said: "Shuixiu, you should go to sleep first, I know you are not familiar with me, here The conditions are not good, and I won't force you. When the conditions are good in the future, I will arrange a decent wedding for you, and then we will enter the bridal chamber."

Dong Chenghu didn't expect much from this wife at first, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but now he realizes that Gu Shuixiu is simply the best wife in the world. In this way, he feels both guilty and timid. Thinking that he must give the best to Gu Shuixiu, he can't let her be so wronged.

Gu Shuixiu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard what Dong Chenghu said. She really didn't know what excuse she should make to refuse the same room.

After the two of them lay down, Gu Shuixiu realized that the awkward atmosphere was really uncomfortable. The bed was so big, and one Dong Chenghu was okay to say, adding another Gu Shuixiu, the two of them were like popsicle sticks Same.

The sky was slightly brighter, and Dong Chenghu had already woken up.

Gu Shuixiu did not delay, and immediately followed out of the cave. The morning air in the mountain was very fresh, the leaves were covered with dewdrops, and the soil was wet.

Gu Shuixiu was habitually going to do the laundry, only to find out that Dong Chenghu didn't even have a broken wooden tub, which made washing his face a problem, let alone washing clothes.

"Chenghu, can you play pots?"

Dong Chenghu put down the knife in his hand and nodded, thinking of this family's house with four walls, he immediately patted his chest and said: "Today I will make a few wooden pots for you, and I will cut two bamboos along the way to make a simple tableware and chopsticks. Then set up a few traps."

Gu Shuixiu nodded with satisfaction, "Then I'll go pick some wild vegetables and mushrooms. It's so humid in the morning, there should be a lot of fresh mushrooms."

"Mushroom? What is that?" Dong Chenghu obviously had never heard of these things, with a question mark on his face.

Gu Shuixiu was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "Mushroom is a kind of fungus, it tastes very delicious, I'll look for it, and if I can find it, I'll get you something delicious."

Dong Chenghu was full of joy and sent Gu Shuixiu to a safe place to chop wood and bamboo.

Gu Shuixiu has long been attracted by the wild vegetables in the mountains and plains. This place is simply a paradise for ingredients. There are all kinds of wild vegetables. Milk, folded ear root, amaranth, etc.
