Chapter 42

The sun was setting, the night was shrouded, the stars were dotted, and the bright moonlight swayed the earth.

Three into the courtyard.

Li Siyu wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked out of the kitchen, and looked in the direction of the door.

Xiaobai lying on the ground, with his head facing that side, kept sniffing.

Seeing that no one came back, Li Siyu looked a little disappointed.

When she came home at noon, she didn't see Zhang Hao.

After coming back at night, she still didn't see Zhang Hao.

According to Aunt Duan, Zhang Hao went for a walk in the mountains.

But it was late at night, and she had finished cooking, yet Zhang Hao hadn't come back yet.

Stepping up to Xiaobai's side, he gently hugged Xiaobai to his chest, still looking towards the courtyard gate.

Xiaobai opened his mouth, revealing his baby teeth, and waving his pink and tender paws in the air. It looked very cute instead of intimidating.

"Why haven't you come back, Xiaobai has nothing to eat..." Li Siyu muttered.

"Ah, ah~"

Xiaobai called out twice in a timely manner.

Li Siyu chuckled, two deep dimples emerged, his eyebrows and eyes curved: "You little guy..."

The voice just fell.

boom.

creak.

"I am back."

Along with footsteps and the sound of the door opening, Zhang Hao's voice also came.

Li Siyu looked up.

Carrying a solid spirit basket and stepping on straw sandals, the clothes on his body were already stained with a lot of mud, and even his face looked slightly stained.

"The meal is ready, wash up and prepare to eat." Li Siyu said softly, the smile on his face disappeared.

After finishing speaking, she also put Xiaobai in the yard: "Those [Duduan] have been eaten up, this time you enter the mountain..."

Zhang Hao hurriedly answered: "I went into the mountain this time just to find something to eat for Xiaobai."

Li Siyu nodded: "Okay."

Then, he turned around and walked into the kitchen, and began to pack the meals.

And Zhang Hao also temporarily put down the solid spirit basket, and went to wash up first.

After that, he took out today's harvest from the Gu Ling basket.

Annual common Dipsacus, semi-annual Dilong Pinellia, angelica, wooden barrel...etc.

These medicinal materials are all young, and for the current Xiaobai, they can just be used as food, and they won't be too supplementary.

It's no problem for this little guy to eat for a week just by receiving the goods this afternoon.

Chop these medicinal materials with a knife, mix them together, then dig out a little bit and put it in a bowl in front of Xiao Bai.

Zhang Hao ignored it, and immediately walked into the main hall and sat at the dining table.

"Eat quickly, the food is getting cold." Li Siyu said.

Zhang Hao had already picked up the bowl: "I'm really hungry."

No more words, the two each picked up their chopsticks, one chewed slowly, and the other gorged themselves.

Wait until the meal is over.

It was still Zhang Hao who cleaned up, and Li Siyu sat in the main hall to rest, and edited the video by the way.

Walking out of the kitchen, Zhang Hao glanced at the starry sky, then lowered his head, looked at Xiaobai who was back in the cage, who was asleep or not, shook his head and laughed.

It’s better for this little guy, just sleep when you’re full all day, wake up and bask in the sun, and then continue to eat.

Lift the cage and take the dog back to the ear room.

Putting the cage in a relatively warm place, Zhang Hao started groping in the Gu Ling basket instead.

Soon, a small statue with a strange shape and a vine wrapped around its surface appeared in his hand.

The appearance of the statue is vague and difficult to distinguish, but it can be vaguely seen that it is quite correct, but if you look closely, you will find that it is somewhat similar to Zhang Hao himself.

Obviously, this is the statue he made according to his own appearance.

And this little statue of himself was obtained from the yellow mud in the mountains when he went up the mountain today. It is a small temporary object.

Don't look at this thing as a small thing. Its exquisiteness is the experience summed up by the mountain walkers of the past generations, and there are methods to save life.

Of course, there are corresponding folk customs in it.

After hesitating for a moment, he stepped out of the ear room and came to the main hall in a few steps.

Raising his hand, he knocked lightly on the door.

"What's wrong?" Li Siyu, who was sitting in front of the computer and editing the video, turned around and looked at him suspiciously.

Holding the cylinder in his hand, Zhang Hao stepped over the threshold and said with a smile, "I'm here to tell you something."

"Yeah." Li Siyu paused, then got up: "You said."

"From tomorrow, I will go to the mountain to help, and I will not come back until the family is married. Therefore, you should pay attention to safety at home these days. I have prepared Xiaobai's meals for him, and I will give him every meal." As long as it is enough to eat, it is enough for a week." Zhang Hao said.

Li Siyu was taken aback, doubts flashed across his eyes.

She always had doubts about Zhang Hao's going to help on the mountain, or she didn't quite believe it.

On the mountain...how could there be people?

How could anyone choose to get married at night?

But she didn't want to interfere too much with Zhang Hao's affairs, so she simply nodded: "Well, don't worry, I'll be fine with Xiaobai by my side."

Zhang Hao nodded, then stretched out his hand, and handed over the statue in his hand: "This thing is called a guardian statue, and it looks like myself. After I leave tomorrow, you can put this thing in the southmost room, at the southwest corner It is enshrined on the incense table."

Li Siyu took the statue with a strange face, before she asked.

Zhang Hao said again: "You need to come and pay homage to this guardian statue every day at 6 o'clock in the morning, 12 o'clock in the noon, and 10 o'clock in the evening."

"The most important thing is that 5 days later, when we go to fortune-telling, we will calculate the time. At 6 o'clock that night, we will come to the incense stand and offer a stick of incense. I have prepared the incense, and it is there. You must not leave until the incense is extinguished, if the incense is broken halfway, or extinguished...

Then I have to go out with the guardian statue, go to the foot of the mountain, and then worship again, burn incense, this time I have to burn three sticks of incense, and I can't leave, and I have to keep calling my name. "

This guardian statue is something that the mountain walkers of all ages would occasionally put at home before looking for treasures in the mountains.

The guardian statue is made of the soil in the mountains, and mountain spring water is added to it, as well as several hundred-year-old roots, as well as the juice of some medicinal materials, and the surface is wrapped with vines.

Because, when the mountain-walkers go to participate in the fox wedding, it is easy to be fascinated by the foxes, and the purpose of lighting incense when the foxes are married is to keep the souls of the mountain-walkers from being lost.

If once the burning incense is broken, or goes out for no reason, it means that there is something wrong with the soul of Zoushanren!

At this time, it is necessary to go to the foot of the mountain to light incense again and forcibly summon the soul.

This is also the experience of the ancient mountain walkers who have gone through countless predecessors, and it is also to avoid accidents for the mountain walkers who participated in the fox's marriage.

Li Siyu looked a little weird, but nodded with a complicated expression: "Okay, I will remember."

This should be some so-called customs.

For this aspect of knowledge, she has always known that she is inferior to Zhang Hao, so she just needs to follow suit.

But she was also curious why Zhang Hao had to put such a thing at home when he went to the mountain to help someone get married, and it must not be extinguished.

Zhang Hao...is he really going to help ordinary people?

And his recent series of weird behaviors...

Just when she lost her mind.

"I'm going to leave very early tomorrow morning, so you don't have to prepare my breakfast, just help me light the spirit pillar before going out." Zhang Hao entrusted.

Li Siyu nodded: "Don't worry, I will take care of it for you."

"Then it's troublesome, come on, I'll go back to sleep first, and I have to get up early to go up the mountain tomorrow morning." Zhang Hao yawned, turned and left the main hall tiredly.

Just as he stepped over the threshold.

"On the mountain...be careful."

"Don't worry, I will."
