Chapter 51 Lost
Xu Baozhu frantically shook her head with red eyes, tears streaming down her face.

The old man Xu looked at her, he didn't know what to do for a while, and he was so anxious that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Father!"

"Okay, I... I'll go out, don't get angry, take a good rest!"

Xu Baozhu let go of the old man Xu's hand, walked away step by step, turned his head three times, walked to the door, just happened to meet Zhu Yun coming over with medicine, and she instructed: "Father is not feeling well, drink this medicine while it's hot, watch it, After watching him finish drinking, give him a massage on his back, talk to him, let him calm down, and he will get better sooner."

Zhu Yun sensed something was wrong, but he knew that this was not the time to ask questions, so he nodded and said, "I understand, don't worry."

In the next few days, Xu Baozhu was cooking and boiling medicine, and Zhu Yun would send it over. Old man Xu didn't want to see her, and she didn't bother, but just watched him through the window from a distance, seeing that his complexion was getting better , and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Did the lady quarrel with the father?" Zhu Yun asked.

Xu Baozhu shook her head.

It's not that she and Old Man Xu had a quarrel, it's just that neither of them knew how to deal with this sudden situation.

Xu Baozhu didn't expect that the old man Xu knew the original owner so well that he could find something wrong with just one stitch, and even guessed such a ridiculous thing.

She never thought about what would happen if one day he found out that he was no longer the original person?
So it's really confusing.

She took up his body, and she was responsible to the old man Xu out of emotion and reason, but if he had been unable to accept himself and reacted so strongly to her, then she...why would she have any reason to stay here anymore?

"No, it's just something small happened, alas." Xu Baozhu took a deep breath and said, "I don't know how to tell you."

"Oh, let's not talk about it." Zhu Yun didn't ask any more questions, and comforted him: "Young lady, you don't need to worry. After a while, everything will be fine after a long time."

"En." Xu Baozhu nodded awkwardly, remembered something, and said to Zhu Yun, "Didn't you always want to stay here?"

"What's the matter?" Zhu Yun didn't understand why she asked so suddenly.

"Li is planning to set up a private school in the village. With the status of a teacher, you can stay here regardless of whether you and I are engaged or not."

She paused, took a deep breath, and said, "Father, he likes you very much, and he also hopes that you will stay. If possible, I said, if you really like this place, in case I'm not here anymore , can you help me take care of him?"

"What isn't there? Why isn't it here?" Zhu Yun thought he was a smart person, but at this moment, he didn't understand what she meant.

He didn't understand why she made such unreasonable and impossible speculations.

The atmosphere suddenly became serious.

Even the wind in the air seemed to be carrying a heavy breath.

"Oh, I'll just say it casually." Xu Baozhu laughed and said, "It's said to be if, and if it is, it's just a possibility. Just kidding, just test your reaction."

"really?"

Zhu Yun obviously didn't believe it.

Getting along these days, he can clearly distinguish when this person is telling the truth and when he is telling lies. She is careless and not a person who can hide her emotions too much.

Right now... she didn't hide it.

The corner of the man's mouth was smiling, and his tone was pretending to be relaxed, but his face was stiff, and his eyes were full of sadness.

"Of course it's true."

Xu Baozhu continued to pretend that nothing happened, but she was also afraid that if time passed, she would reveal her secrets, so she hurriedly changed the subject and said, "I'm going to prepare something, and Brother Ah Cheng and Ah Jin will come to find me and go up the mountain with me later, by the way, food I've already made it, if I come back late at night, you can eat first."

"Also, there is a piece of clothing in the wooden box next to the bed. It is newly made. If you have time, try to see if it fits. If it doesn't fit, tell me, and I'll try to change it."

After all, without waiting for anyone to respond, he strode into the house.

It was getting colder and colder this day, and the pine trees on the mountain covered the sky and the sun, and it was even colder without the sun. Xu Baozhu added a few more clothes and specially boiled hot water and put them in water hyacinths to keep warm Handbag, and took the rope, sickle, crossbow bolts and anesthetics, etc., everything was ready, and the Qian family brothers just arrived outside the door.

She originally wanted to talk to old man Xu, but she thought that he didn't want to see her, so she had to give up, gave Zhu Yun a few words and left.

This kind of hunting is mostly done during the day, and the harvest is early the next morning, but this is a technical job, which requires rich hunting experience and the ability to recognize the walking traces of the prey in order to accurately find the den of the prey. Dens, you can't put it directly at the door of the prey, you need to put it a little distance away, then find some pine needles or cattail grass corresponding to the environment to cover it, and put some earthworms or wheat as bait, so as to ensure that the prey will Fall into the trap you set.

You have to pay extra attention to the harvest the next day, and you need to go early, otherwise the prey may break free from the trap and run away, or it may be taken away by others.

Qian Cheng and Qian Jin are well-known hunters in the village. Xu Baozhu followed them and soon found a hare's nest.

According to the instructions of the two, put the cover not far or near, hide it again, make a simple mark, and then several people continue to look for the next prey.

The second is a flock of finches.

Qian Cheng distinguished the direction of flight and the time of departure based on the bird droppings on the ground. He took out the hooked small grid nets and hung them on two big trees respectively. They were placed very low, covered with pine needles below, and could hardly be seen. , but as long as something steps on it, the net will quickly shrink, trapping them firmly in it.

When playing the third set, Xu Baozhu accidentally got separated from them.

Because she saw a plant of wild ginseng. If this thing is taken back and brewed in medicinal wine, it will not only strengthen the body, but also nourish the blood and nourish the energy, making people energetic.

She thought of old man Xu who was sick at home and Zhu Yun who looked like a thin scholar, so she stopped walking. Who knew that when she dug out the things, the Qian family brothers had disappeared.

The sky gradually darkened, the cold wind howled, and various sounds began to appear in the mountains and forests.

It's not that Xu Baozhu has never been to the mountains before, but he has never spent the night on the mountains. The last time he hunted wild boars, Qian Jin was there. She is alone, and this mountain is not near Huaihua Village, it is several miles away. She rarely comes here, and she is not familiar with the place.

For the first time in her life, Xu Baozhu felt extremely panicked.

She wanted to go forward to find Qian Cheng and the others, but she was afraid that if she left, they would find that they had disappeared, and they would come back to look for them and get separated for the second time.If you go alone and do it yourself, the two of you are still on the mountain and came together, it would be too disrespectful to do so, so you can only sit and wait.

……

The east end of Huaihua Village.

The courtyard of Xu Baozhu's family.

"You... how could you let her go up the mountain with the Qian family brothers alone!"

Old man Xu was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
