Chapter 215 Hiring!marry!
Passing by the asphalt road in the village, Zhang Hao also saw some villagers enjoying the shade outside.

After saying hello, we went up the mountain.

The several villagers present looked at Zhang Hao's leaving back and talked a lot.

"By the way, didn't Xiaohao say he wanted to cure the idiot? I don't know what's going on now."

"Anyway, the fools are always taken to the mountains these days. We don't know what they did."

"It should be cured, right? Xiao Hao was able to wake up even Wang Lin before, so it shouldn't be difficult to cure the idiot."

"It's hard to say, how can the situation of the idiot be the same as that of Wang Lin, and it's also hard to say whether Xiaohao can cure the idiot, of course, it's best to be cured."

"That's for sure. If it can be cured, it must be the best. I'm afraid that he can't be cured. That's the most worrying thing. Alas, if it is cured, the fool won't have to suffer this crime." , he can live like a normal person.”

"Yeah, who would want to watch him wander around the village like that all day long? If he can really be cured, then he can be self-reliant, at least he won't live like this for the rest of his life."

"Hey, we are still here now. When our next generation, most of the people have left the village, who will take care of this fool? No one will take care of him. He will just wait to starve to death."

"Who says it's not? Well, I hope the kid can cure the idiot."

After discussing for a while, everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of the fool's house, and remained silent.

……

the next day.

early morning.

Zhao Dalong was carrying farm tools and was about to go to work in the field.

He smoked a pipe, squinted his eyes, walked on the solid asphalt road, and looked at the villagers on the street.

At this moment, a figure caught his attention.

A tattered, unkempt, with a silly smile on his face, a fool who doesn't look normal from a distance.

He took a puff of the dry tobacco in his hand and threw it away. He stepped forward, put his hand on the fool's body with a smirk, and said, "It's stuck! It's stuck!"

This is a trick he often uses when playing with idiots. He often teases idiots like this. As soon as the idiot hears the word "glued", the idiot will run away in panic, and he will follow suit. Create a feeling of being really glued.

When the time comes, let go of your hands when you have had enough fun.

Usually, fools would start running, laughing and running, and would they say they were really glued?How could it be stuck!

But today.

Just after he put his hand on the idiot's body, the idiot didn't start running like before, but tilted his head and looked at him.

Just when Zhao Dalong was stunned, the idiot stepped aside, leaving Zhao Dalong with no time to react.

Then, the idiot pointed at Zhao Dalong's hand, and said with a hearty smile, "It's not sticking anymore! Look, it's not sticking at all!"

At this moment, Zhao Dalong felt that the disheveled idiot in front of him was not an idiot, but himself.

Immediately afterwards, before he could react, the fool slapped his dark palm, grabbed his arm, and shouted: "It's stuck! It's stuck! Hehehe, it's stuck!"

Zhao Dalong looked at the idiot's hand, then at the idiot again, frowning slightly.

Now he only feels that he is a fool, and he feels that the fool in front of him seems to be different from before.

It's like...it's a little bit normal, and it's not as stupid as before.

In order to verify his idea, he raised a finger: "Fool, how many fingers are these?"

The fool glanced: "One."

Zhao Dalong immediately raised another finger and laughed loudly: "You're wrong, it's two!"

The fool gave him a blank look, with a smile on his face, but his tone was full of disgust and said: "Obviously you changed your fingers."

"Huh?" Zhao Dalong was completely stunned and confused.

It's not that he hasn't played this kind of trick with a fool before. Every time a fool scratches his head, he thinks that he has made a mistake.

But today, the fool directly exposed his trick...

This is not normal, this fool is a little normal, this is really not normal.

Could it be that Zhang Hao's treatment had an effect and made the fool return to normal?
It is possible, it is possible that this will be the case!
Zhao Dalong was extremely astonished in his heart, gasping for breath from time to time.

If this is the case, then Zhang Hao can be considered to have cured the idiot!

This... is definitely the biggest thing in Zhaojia Village.

Ignoring the idiot, Zhao Dalong ran to the entrance of the village with the farm tools on his shoulders. He had to go to the information station in the village to exchange this news. This is the first-hand news for him!
……

Through Zhao Dalong's unremitting efforts, and the widespread dissemination of intelligence stations in the village.

In just half a day, the entire Zhaojia Village knew that the fool's situation had improved. The fool was no longer as stupid as before, but a little normal.

This made everyone very surprised and surprised. More importantly, if the fool's condition really improves, it means that Zhang Hao's treatment is effective, which means that Zhang Hao's ability is too great , Now even fools can be cured!

From now on, to be honest, if there is anything in the village, you don't need to go out to find someone, just go to Zhang Hao directly.

"Have you heard? You idiot!"

"Hey, your news is too late. I heard that you are not only a fool, but you also treat Zhao Dalong as a fool and play around!"

"Ah? Is this the news you heard? How did I hear that Zhao Dalong is stupid now, only fools are better?"

"Huh? You are all messed up, it should be Zhang Hao who cured the idiot!"

"No, no, I heard that Zhao Dalong cured the idiot, but Zhao Dalong was stupid! It must be true, if you don't believe me, let's go to Zhao Dalong now!"

The news spread wantonly in the village, and various versions were widely circulated, and it was almost compiled into a book.

But what everyone is more willing to believe is that Zhang Hao cured the fool.

But in order to prove it, many villagers gathered together at the door of the fool's house, wanting to see if the fool is really healed.

However, the villagers were a little disappointed when they saw the fool.

After all, a fool is still a fool now, he still can't look like a normal person, he is still a little stupid, but he is better than before.

A group of villagers sighed at this, thinking that Zhang Hao might only be able to treat the idiot to this extent. After all, the idiot has been stupid for so many years, how could he be cured.

……

Day three.

Sunny and cloudless.

At the east end of the village, there is a dilapidated house, and the fool is still wearing his tattered clothes.

He walked out of the house slowly, looked at the sunlight outside, raised his head and squinted his eyes, and looked at the sun in the sky.

There is no longer a smile on his face, but a calm, calm heart like still water.

Withdrawing his gaze, he first looked at the clothes on his body, held his nose and sniffed the smell on his body, and he smiled helplessly.

Just today, when he woke up, he felt that his world had changed, became clearer and more incomprehensible.

Usually, only eating, playing, and sleeping are on his mind, and these thoughts occupy most of his thoughts.

But now it's different, his mind is full of all kinds of thoughts, a lot of memories, and some things that he can't understand at all.

For example, why do the villagers feel sorry when they see him, and they all look at him with such pitiful eyes, and he doesn't understand what the villagers said.

For a person whose mind is only about 4 years old, even if he has returned to normal, this is really incomprehensible.

He also didn't know why those people called himself a fool. The word fool didn't seem to be a good word, it sounded like a curse.

There are also those memories that seem to be extra in his mind, but they are memories that he has personally experienced. He can't understand those memories, and can't correctly judge whether those things are right, should be done, and can be done.

He stood in the yard full of weeds, looking around blankly, not knowing what he was going to do or what he should do for a moment.

He even felt that the life he used to live was pretty good. He wouldn't think so much, wouldn't have so many strange thoughts, and wouldn't have any discomfort.

Yes, he is not used to everything now.

He needs someone who can stand up, lead him, and be familiar with all of this. If... If there is such a person, that would be great.

"I am coming."

At this time, a familiar voice sounded outside the courtyard. This voice was powerful, confident, and smiling, and it also brought him a great sense of security, as if as long as there was this voice, he could face what was about to happen. You can face everything that is strange but familiar.

Excitedly ran to the gate, stretched out his hand to open the crumbling gate, looked at Zhang Hao standing outside the gate with a smile on his face, the idiot cried, his eyes were already red, and the tears kept rolling , It slid down the cheek.

"Hao, Brother Hao, you're here." The idiot had a smile on his mouth, tears streaming down his face. He wanted to open his arms and hug Zhang Hao tightly, but when he thought about his body and hands being unclean, He immediately dismissed the thought.

At this time, Zhang Hao took the initiative to raise his hand, patted his arm, looked him up and down, and asked with a smile: "How do you feel? Are you a little uncomfortable with the current environment?"

From the moment the idiot opened the door, Zhang Hao had already seen that the idiot had probably returned to normal.

The main manifestation is that the silly smile on the fool's face is no longer the same, and his eyes are different, with confusion, bewilderment, and panic.

If it was a usual fool, these emotions would not exist in his eyes.

With these emotions, it means that the fool has really returned to normal.

The fool hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hands and said, "Come on, follow me, and I will tell you what you should do."

The fool was also very obedient, and kept following Zhang Hao.

On the other hand, Zhang Hao took the idiot for a walk in the village non-stop. From some small things in life to some things about working in the field, Zhang Hao knew everything and told the idiot endlessly.

When other villagers saw that Zhang Hao taught the idiot the common sense knowledge that can be used in ordinary life, they came forward to ask curiously. Combined with the idiot's current situation, it was not difficult for them to judge that the idiot might really have recovered. This possibility is normal.

For a moment, the villagers were all shocked. They once again had a new understanding of Zhang Hao's ability.

Who would have thought that Zhang Hao cured a fool who had been stupid for more than [-] years in just less than ten days.

This is really incredible!
It was just as inconceivable as the last time Gao Lin was woken up with a wooden hammer.

Even the villagers began to wonder whether God sent Zhang Hao to help them because they saw that their Zhaojia Village was too barren and could not get a good development.

From this moment on, the villagers' respect for Zhang Hao has once again increased to a higher level.

But then, led by Zhang Hao, more and more villagers participated in the process of helping the idiot grow up. Except for eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, the idiot does not need to be taught, and the rest needs to be done from the beginning. once.

The first thing that bears the brunt is washing clothes, taking a shower, and tidying up.

And in the next few days, the fool is constantly adapting to this brand new life, and is also trying to make himself more adaptable.

The villagers can also spare no effort to teach for the fool to learn.

It didn't take long for the fool to be able to live alone, just a little clumsy and a little rusty.

But a person who has been stupid for more than [-] years can finally live like a normal person. This is simply the biggest surprise.

this day.

Zhang Hao went down the mountain, looked at the situation of the fool, and returned to the courtyard in the mountain.

"How? Is he studying well?" Li Siyu asked curiously.

Zhang Hao nodded: "Anyway, it's no problem for me to live independently, why can I be considered a normal person now."

"It's all thanks to you." Li Siyu said with a smile.

Zhang Hao smiled, waved his hand and said, "If the fool didn't give you that piece of candy, I might have to think about it, but if the fool wants to thank him, thank him for giving you that piece of candy."

The two looked at each other, with an inexplicable emotion contained in the eyes of both sides, and a flame collided in mid-air.

Then, the two looked away.

Zhang Hao got up and went back to the house, picked up the Guling Basket, and also brought the things needed to drive the mountain, and took Xiaobai along with him.

"It's still early today, I'm going to walk the mountain first."

He has been busy with the fool's affairs for the past few days, and he doesn't have much time to walk the mountain.

Now the idiot is healed, he can live like a normal person, and he can take care of himself without others worrying about it.

Then he has to think about his own affairs.

After all, this matter is related to the major events in his and Li Siyu's lives, and it is also a major event that cannot be overestimated no matter how important it is.

"Well, you must be careful. If you can come back for dinner at noon, let the mountain god deer tell me." Li Siyu urged.

After living on the mountain during this period, the two made some secret signals for each other, just like when Zhang Hao went to walk the mountain, if he could come back for lunch at noon, he could ask the mountain god deer to come back first and tell Li Siyu first.

If the mountain god deer does not come back, or if the mountain god deer does not report after it comes back, then it will not come back to eat.

"Don't worry, if I come back to eat, I will tell the mountain god deer in advance." Zhang Hao responded, leading Xiaobai, and led the mountain god deer into the dense forest.

Walking back into the familiar dense forest, Zhang Hao only felt that his mood had become calmer.
Sure enough, it was more comfortable to go up the mountain. Compared with those mortals and those trivial things, only by going up the mountain can he truly relax.

However, Zhang Hao's main purpose today is not to walk the mountain, but to complete the event that has been planned for a long time in his heart and can determine the life of him and Li Siyu.

That is, give Li Siyu a betrothal gift!
From ancient times to the present, before two people get married, they need to perform three letters and six ceremonies before they can be regarded as married.

Although, in modern times, only a marriage certificate is needed to prove that two people are legally married, but according to the customs in ancient times, three letters and six rituals must be carried out.

The three books refer to the documents used in the process of the "six ceremonies", which are divided into appointment letters, ceremony letters, and welcome letters.

The six rites are Nacai, Asking Names, Najib, Nazheng, Asking for a Date, and Greeting in person.

In ancient times, if two people were in love, or if they wanted to get married in the name of their parents, the first step was to go to the media to talk about the marriage.

And found that nowadays, the process is similar, except that some people are in free love, and there is no step of matchmaking, but this does not delay the point of hiring.

For example, he and Li Siyu are already a fiancé couple, so there is no need for a matchmaker, and they can directly develop to the step of offering a betrothal gift.

Zhang Hao has been thinking about this aspect for the past few days.

You know, there are a lot of things to pay attention to when making a betrothal gift, and there are also a lot of customs. If you are not careful, you will become a joke, and it will easily make the woman feel disgusted with this marriage.

However, Zhang Hao and Li Siyu have a special feature. Both of their parents have passed away, so there is no higher authority, and many things can be discussed by the two of them.

Like hiring, like a wedding, etc., even if the two don't have a wedding, no one will say anything if they don't have a banquet, as long as the two agree.

But Zhang Hao would never do this. In his opinion, this matter is a major event in his and Li Siyu's lives.

Even if the high hall of the two is gone, even if there is no adult to take care of these things, they themselves have to take responsibility for this matter, and they must let the wedding of the two, as well as the previous procedures, etc., be done. good.

What's more, even if the two of them really agreed to hold a simple wedding, the villagers of Zhaojia Village would definitely not agree.

During this time, he had already thought about some things needed for the betrothal gift, and he came to the mountain this time for the betrothal gift.

Walking with Xiaobai in the dense forest, the mountain god deer followed behind, bored, it seemed very boring.

However, Zhang Hao was in high spirits, with a smile on his face all the time, and his eyes were frighteningly bright.

According to his previous memory, he walked along the path in the forest, stepping on the weed piles.

It wasn't until he came to a fork in the road that divided into two roads, that he stopped.

And in the middle of the two roads on the left and right, there is an extremely thick old tree, and there are three not-so-obvious gaps on the trunk of the old tree.

This ancient tree was exactly the one that Zhang Hao had encountered before, the one that could talk.

Standing in front of Gu Shu, Zhang Hao put the Gu Ling Basket in his hand at his feet, raised his hands, and bowed to salute: "Senior Gu Shu, I'm here to disturb you again."

Crash.

With the shaking of the leaves, a few fallen leaves fell to the ground, and the three gaps in the trunk of the ancient tree seemed to move.

Then, a hollow, old voice was heard.

"It turned out to be Master Zoushanren. I don't know why Master Zoushanren came here to find the old man." Gu Shu said with a smile, still respecting Zhang Hao, the Zoushanren in his tone.

After all, He is just an ancient tree that can speak. Zhang Hao is a mountain walker. The mountain walker has a very high status in the mountain, and he must be higher than some mountain spirits.

Zhang Hao got up slowly, looked at the ancient tree in front of him, and asked in a solemn voice: "The junior has something, I want to ask the senior of the ancient tree."

"Hahaha, Mr. Zoushanren is being polite, but it's okay to say, if it's an old man, I will tell you." The ancient tree said with a smile, the branches and leaves trembled and rattled.

Zhang Hao didn't hesitate, and immediately asked: "Senior Gushu, I've been thinking about my next engagement recently, which is to marry her. According to the senior, what thing in this mountain can be used as a present engagement gift?"

In Zhang Hao's view, the ancient tree is well-informed. After hundreds of years and thousands of years of experience, there are naturally many things that he has seen and understood. It is also the most sensible choice to ask the ancient tree for advice.

Maybe some of the things that I thought of before are suitable for hiring, but after Gu Shu's explanation, I will find that they are not suitable, or maybe Gu Shu will add some things that are suitable for hiring to me.

It's all possible.

Just after this question was asked, Gu Shu pondered for a while, and then said: "Is it the little girl who was trapped before?"

Zhang Hao nodded: "It's her, senior has a good memory."

"Don't be afraid to make jokes from Mr. Zoushanren. What I am most proud of is this memory. I can still remember things hundreds of years ago." Gu Shu laughed heartily, with a little pride in his tone .

"That little girl has a very good temper, a very good character, and a very beautiful appearance. It is naturally a beautiful thing to be able to tie the knot with Mr. Zoushanren. Mr. Zoushanren, I would like to congratulate you in advance." The branches and leaves of the tree shook more frequently, and two of the thick branches even seemed to collide with each other, but because the distance was too far, they failed to do so.

Zhang Hao cupped his hands again: "The junior thanked the senior."

Then, he raised his head, looked helplessly at the ancient tree, and said with a smile: "However, senior still didn't tell me what is suitable for hiring in this mountain."

Gu Shu's problem of breaking the topic while talking, still hasn't changed.

What the weasel said last time collapsed. It directly lost a hundred years of cultivation and became an ordinary yellow-skinned child.

However, maybe it was because Gu Shu hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time. He stayed here every day, and he was already bored, so he finally had someone to talk to, so he must cherish it.

When Zhang Hao thought of this, he naturally had nothing to blame the ancient tree for.

The ancient tree also noticed this problem, its branches and leaves twitched for a while, and then it coughed lightly: "Ah, it's like this, Mr. Zoushanren, as far as I know, there are many things in this mountain as betrothal gifts. .”

"For example, the more docile mountain treasures, which can nourish the body and help it prolong life, can be used as betrothal gifts."

"And those mountain treasures that are more noisy are not suitable."

"Also, there are some mountain spirits. If you can meet some strange mountain spirits, like [Huijiao] with horns on the top of its head, it would be great to take off the horns and make a hairpin."

"and also……"

Gu Shu was eloquent when he talked about it, and he listed a lot of things that were suitable as engagement gifts for Zhang Hao, but Zhang Hao had seen many things from [Zoushan Travel Records], but he hadn't seen them in the book at all. I saw it when I was walking.

This caused a lot of things, and he could only listen to them.

Although he came here to collect dowry gifts this time, there are some things that do not exist in this mountain. Not every mountain has a complete range of mountain treasures, and not every mountain has everything that one expects to find.

The most important thing is that walking in the mountains is very about luck. Although there are elements of blessing from mountain gods, luck is more to be considered.

For example, some mountain treasures are encountered because of good luck, and if they are not lucky, they will not be encountered.

Therefore, Zhang Hao wanted to find the best things that could be found in this mountain, or in the Qinling Mountains connected to this mountain.

This can also avoid traveling far away, and he can also rush back within a few days, or within half a month, without making Li Siyu overly worried.

"My lord Zoushan, as far as I know, these things are the most suitable gifts for my next appointment. However, I have never seen many things that I said in this mountain." The ancient tree felt very sorry.

Zhang Hao shook his head helplessly, this result was expected by him, and he didn't feel the slightest surprise.

at this time.

Gu Shu seemed to have remembered something, and said suddenly, "Master Zoushanren, this old man just thought of it suddenly."

"I heard that the spirit of the mountain once said that in a mountain range connected to it, I have seen the existence of [Hui Jiao]. That [Hui Jiao] is more than 3 meters long and as thick as a human waist."

【Hui Jiao】...

Zhang Hao was taken aback for a moment, then quickly raised his head and looked at the ancient tree.

He was particularly interested in the [Hui Jiao] that Gu Shu mentioned. Simply put, [Hui Jiao] is a snake with long horns on its head. The horns are slender, like dragon horns. Dragon, so it is called [Jiao].

And this kind of [Jiao] is naturally intelligent, so it is named [Hui Jiao].

These are all recorded in the "Zoushan Travel Records".

If [Hui Jiao] can be caught, take off the horn of [Hui Jiao] and make a hairpin, this is definitely a good dowry gift.

Of course, the dowry is definitely not just the same.

Then, Zhang Hao asked several dowry gifts that he thought about one after another. Some of the ancient trees thought it was suitable, and some didn't think it was suitable, and some of the things Zhang Hao thought about, he had never heard of, that is to say Maybe these things don't exist in this mountain.

After discussing for a whole day, Zhang Hao finally made an agreement with Gu Shu about the betrothal gift he needed.

Zhang Hao memorized all these required dowry items in his mind, and then he said goodbye to the ancient tree and walked towards the garden in the forest.

It is already afternoon, and when dusk is about to fall, it is not suitable to continue walking the mountain at this time.

What's more, he still has more important things to do now, which is to go back immediately to sort out the list of dowry gifts needed, and prepare to go to the Qinling Mountains for a hike.

After a day's discussion today, he discovered that many of the things that the ancient tree knew were from hearing about some mountain spirits, seeing or encountering some things in the Qinling Mountains.

That is to say, there is a great possibility that the recruits that Zhang Hao is looking for are also in the Qinling Mountains, so he has to go to the Qinling Mountains for a walk.

In this way, he can ensure that all the recruits he wants can be found.

Taking Xiaobai and Shanshenlu back outside the courtyard as quickly as possible, Zhang Hao pushed open the door, greeted Li Siyu briefly, and then stepped into the room, closing the door tightly.

He first made a separate gift list for all the things he needed to hire, and then he took out the [Zoushan Travel Notes Picture Record], and compared them one by one according to the items on the gift list [Zoushan Travel Notes] Catalog], and carry out a targeted understanding, in case you enter the Qinling Mountains and encounter these things, what should you do.

Zhang Hao watched it very intently, often reading a sentence several times, just to learn more about it, so that he could grasp it faster and get what he wanted.

……

Outside the house, in the courtyard.

Li Siyu came out from the kitchen with vegetables, and sat at the dining table picking vegetables. She raised her head from time to time, looked into the house, and also looked at Zhang Hao's closed door.

For some reason, she has always felt that Zhang Hao is weird these days, as if something is hiding from her.

However, she didn't want to ask, nor did she deliberately pursue the so-called truth, let alone disturb Zhang Hao.

Because she always felt that Zhang Hao must not have concealed it from her on purpose, if he continued to hide it from herself, then there must be a reason, and she believed that she would be ready to reveal the specific reason for it in a short time.

After all, in her eyes, Zhang Hao has always been a person who can't lie to others, or can't lie to her.

No matter what, Zhang Hao would never lie to her. Of course, she has always believed in this.

On the contrary, recently, Li Siyu is also a little worried, or a little anxious.

Recently, she has actually been thinking about marrying Zhang Hao.

After all, if she really had to wait until her illness was cured, she didn't know how long it would take. She was really optimistic before.

I think that my illness should not take long to heal.

But at present, this is not the case.

Therefore, she felt that Zhang Hao couldn't be made to wait forever, it would be unfair to Zhang Hao.
