At night, Mother Xu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Father Xu knew what she was making a fuss about, sighed, and said in a low voice, "Don't think about it, the second is slippery, but he's not a wicked person, and he can't do anything illegal. He is so clever and calculating. , either you make money, or you lose money, it won’t be a bad thing, there’s nothing to worry about.”
Mother Xu said angrily: "Then leave him alone? Now he is hiding from his own brothers and parents. As the eldest daughter-in-law said, what about preventing thieves? How can this be done? That Su Clan also speaks more than sings all day long. It sounds good, and there is no truth in his mouth, no matter what?"
"It's not that I don't want to take care of it, but do you think we can take care of it? The second child and his wife have big ideas. Now that the family is separated, their wings will be hard. If they don't accept it, what are we going to do? Besides, you Didn't you see it? The third child is also bothered by the second child. Let's follow the third child. If you focus on the second child's affairs, won't you be afraid of the cold? You forgot that the second child insisted on breaking up. Don't care about the third child?" Father Xu turned over, turned his back to Mother Xu, and sighed again, "If you are not deaf or dumb, you will not be a family man. At our age, we can't control anything."
Mother Xu looked at the roof, her eyes were a little wet, "In order to raise these six children and support our parents when we were young, we both got up early and worked hard in the dark. Now that we are old, we can't control our children when we see that the children are wrong. What are you going to do for the rest of your life?"
"You're just on the cusp of a bull's-eye, think about it, what's wrong with it? The eldest's temperament can't do anything, so he honestly buys more land, and when he has a son for his son to study, it will be the best; the second child loves to go to camp , he has not earned less during this period of time, and he can eat meat when his life is good. Apart from being selfish, what can he lose? The third child is now sensible, stronger than his eldest brother and second brother, and none of the children are useless, There is no one who is idle and robbing houses, is this not enough? I think you are just having a good time and are not satisfied."
"I'm not satisfied? Why am I not satisfied? You make it clear to me." Mother Xu pulled Father Xu to make it clear to him.
Father Xu waved her hand and pushed her away, "You can think about it for yourself. In the future, don't worry about the children's business until they can't eat. Everyone is in charge of their own business. Who will let you take care of them patiently."
Of course, Mother Xu also knew this truth, but it was difficult to let go emotionally. At this moment, when she was arguing with Father Xu, she also got rid of the depression in her heart, and fell asleep after a while.
The next day, Xu Zifan went to Zheng Chuan to enter the mountain early in the morning. Before leaving, he told Xiaolian to help him turn over the medicinal materials twice. Xiaolian was a little nervous and did not dare to touch his medicinal materials. Only then did I have the courage, and I was very happy that I could help me, and I took the medicinal materials very seriously. Su Qianyun originally wanted to take a piece of medicinal herbs to the hospital to ask how much it was worth while people were not paying attention, but she didn't find a chance.
Xu Zifan did not intend to enter the mountain this time, but planned to circle around the edge of the mountain to collect as many medicinal materials as possible. This position did not delay Zheng Chuan's hunting, and the two of them walked together fast. When Zheng Chuan was hunting, Xu Zifan took a break, and when Xu Zifan was collecting herbs, Zheng Chuan took a break, and he gained a lot along the way.
When he reached the edge of a small stream, Xu Zifan reached out and probed, his eyes lit up: "Zheng Chuan, why is the water warm?"
Zheng Chuan glanced at it and pointed to the deep mountain, "There is a cave not far from here. The water pool inside is hot, which may affect this side."
Is the pool hot? Isn't that the hot spring? Xu Zifan immediately got up and was about to go there, "Quickly show me, if it's hot, it's a good place to take a shower."
Zheng Chuan grabbed him and frowned disapprovingly, "There are beasts inside, and there is nowhere to run in the cave, so you can't go."
Xu Zifan had his own Shaohua Radar, but he couldn't tell others, so he could only look at the direction of the hot spring and sigh. He looked back at the slightly warm stream, put the bamboo basket on the ground, and untied his clothes, "Then wash here, you're sweating all the way, Zheng Chuan, do you wash too?"
Zheng Chuan immediately took a few steps back, frowned at him, and said, "I'll go over there and watch it for you. I don't like to wash outside, and it's not safe in the mountains, so hurry up." After speaking, he walked out nearly 100 meters away. , turned his back to Xu Zifan and sat behind the tree, helping him look out for the wind.
Xu Zifan shook his head and muttered as he took off his clothes, "Zheng Chuan is too careful, but it's normal. His master doesn't exist in the mountains. It's a good thing to be cautious. No wonder he is better than other hunters at a young age."
[You were so cautious before you bound with me, you are very similar, congratulations on making your first friend. 】
Xu Zifan stripped naked, went into the water and swam, stood on the edge of the stone to wash his body, and said with a smile, "Do you know that I can be friends with him?" He doesn't like to talk, and I don't know what to say to him. Could it be a good friend? Speaking of which, is Zheng Chuan's character very similar to that of the hero in Daoli? He has good skills and good health. He takes good care of himself in his own life, which means he can do housework. How would you like to introduce him to Xiaolian? I can take care of me if I'm close, should it be good? 】
[According to the analysis of the list of people in the whole village, Zheng Chuan belongs to the top choice. Other men are 90% macho and despise women, including your father and brother. 50% of men beat women, 63% of men are filial, and men and women here are used to it and don't think it's wrong. 85% of the families have conflicts between mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law. 48% of households are poor and women cannot eat enough. 】
Xu Zifan paused, frowned, and became serious, "This is really a question, Zheng Chuan is a good candidate, I have to take a good look. By the way, Xiaolian is only fourteen, so she can stay... Three years, I She has to hurry up to open a medical center to take the exam, so she has more choices. No wonder ancient times paid so much attention to males. A male in the family really carries the hope of the whole family. Part of it depends on my brothers. Unfortunately, I can't change the feudal society, I can't make men and women equal, and I can't manage Xiaolian if I can't control others. I haven't met my two sisters yet, and I have a chance to know how they are doing. "
[You talk a lot, and Zheng Chuan shouldn't have nothing to talk about. 】
Xu Zifan smiled, "It's not that there's nothing to talk about, it's that you can't chat casually, and Zheng Chuan is very sensitive and doesn't like the kind of hypocritical greetings, it's good to know them. 】
Zheng Chuan listened to Xu Zifan's constant swishing of water, frowning tightly, holding his bow and arrow, a little upset. He looked around and found nothing, so he just closed his eyes and took a nap, right to rest.
It is not convenient for Xu Zifan to take a bath at home. Everyone basically just wipes it off. This time, with a little warm stream, he can be regarded as having a good bath, and his body and mind are comfortable. With this natural bathing place, he will be able to take a bath every day in the future, and when he builds a big house, he must build a bathroom and a court room. These two things were the most painful things for him in ancient times.
Xu Zifan climbed ashore to get dressed, and found another painful thing, his long hair was still wet! He was the most troubled with pulling his hair every day. He didn't have a hairdryer after washing his hair, and it took a long time to dry. He wiped the handkerchief for a long time, then walked towards Zheng Chuan and said, "Zheng Chuan, can you do me a favor? I'm not very good at getting my hair without a comb, can you help me fix it?"
Zheng Chuan opened his eyes and spit out two words indifferently, "No."
Xu Zifan choked, smoothed his hair, and looked at him, "Are you okay? Why do you seem angry?"
"It's okay, can you go down the mountain?"
"Oh, I'll go after I get my hair done." People don't want to help, and Xu Zifan is forgiven when he thinks about it. It seems that in ancient times, he couldn't help others with their hair casually? And it seems to be very close, their relationship is not that good, and it is normal to be rejected. He clumsily pulled his hair neatly as best he could, and tugged at his scalp so many times that his face was wrinkled in pain.
[Do you need 108 methods of braiding and pulling hair? 】
[Thank you for being a living system before. I need it very much. When I go back, I will learn how to fix my hair. Maybe I can be a hairdresser in the next world. 】Xu Zifan gritted his teeth and smiled, straightened his hair and patted his clothes, "Okay, let's go."
Zheng Chuan hunted a total of three hares, four pheasants, and two badgers. Xu Zifan collected six kinds of medicinal materials, two kinds of sweet wild fruits, as well as a pile of mushrooms and fungus. The two went down the mountain with a lot of things. Xu Zifan looked at the badger covered in treasure and asked, "Zheng Chuan, are you going to sell this badger or keep it for yourself?"
"Sell."
"Only the meat or the whole? How much?"
"The whole one, one 300 wen."
Xu Zifan said in surprise: "One only costs 300 yuan? Are you selling less? Badger skin can be used as a fur coat, which is good-looking and warm. The meat has medicinal value, which can replenish qi and blood, strengthen the body, and fat refining oil can also cure burns, Burn, if you pack it up, at least one will be worth 800 cents."
Zheng Chuan stopped, looked at the badger in his hand, and then looked at Xu Zifan, "Do you want it?"
"I really want it, but I just saved up some money. I think my parents have to worry about buying this..."
"This is for you, I'll charge you 200 wen, thank you for telling me this." Zheng Chuan shoved a badger into Xu Zifan's hand, looked at him seriously and asked, "Can I ask you to help me when I hit a prey in the future? How much is it worth?"
Xu Zifan was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately, "Of course."
"Okay, let's go." After Zheng Chuan finished speaking, he continued to stride down the mountain.
Xu Zifan lifted the badger in his hand and looked at it, thinking that he didn't take advantage of Zheng Chuan, so he accepted it with peace of mind. He quickly chased after him and asked, "Zheng Chuan, do you know how to make leather? My family won't do this."
Zheng Chuan reached out and took the badger back, "I'll deal with it and give it to you."
"how much?"
"No need, 200 wen is enough."
"Oh, okay, thank you." Xu Zifan glanced at Zheng Chuan, feeling inexplicably that he seemed a little happy because he knew that a badger for 300 wen could sell for 800 wen? He had a hunch that the badger in the mountains was going to be miserable, and Zheng Chuan was likely to become a badger killer. There are quite a lot of these things, but they are not easy to catch. If Zheng Chuan catches too many, five will be four taels of silver. Wouldn't he be able to make a fortune soon? It's better to be a brother-in-law.
Xu Zifan smiled at Zheng Chuan and said, "Zheng Chuan, your pheasants and hares are going to be sold in the town? Let's go together tomorrow, and I'm going to sell medicinal herbs too."
"good."
