I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 101 Alone in the Wooden House 2
Zhou Chenyu didn't expect such scenery to exist deep in the mountains, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it might be in places where humans have not set foot that he would have the opportunity to see such original natural beauty.

The wooden house was not far behind him. Zhou Chenyu walked down with confidence, rolled up his trousers, stepped into the lake, washed the wooden barrel, and soaked the dried fish in a bowl.

She and Baoyu were tired from traveling today and had no energy to prepare a sumptuous dinner, so they would make do with it for the time being.

The dried fish they brought were dried by Li Xiuju before. They were small and could not be sold at a good price, so they took them all up the mountain.

Soak the dried fish in water until soft, then steam it on top of rice. The aroma of the fish will come out without any seasoning. After the dried fish rice is steamed, fry two poached eggs and it will be enough for a dinner.

Zhou Chenyu washed his things and was about to carry them back to the wooden house. Suddenly his calf was hit by something. He looked around and saw a palm-sized crucian carp swimming by his feet.

She remembered that when she visited a dry goods store, a dried crucian carp as big as this could be sold for fifty cents a pound.

Zhou Chenyu quickly let go of the bucket, stretched out his hands, and pounced towards the crucian carp. The fish disappeared instantly, "The fish in the village are only as big as the tail finger, are there such big fish here?"

She stared at the crucian carp swimming in groups in the water, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "When I have eaten and drank enough in two days, it won't be too late to catch you again!"

After Zhou Chenyu muttered, he carried his things and walked under the courtyard wall. Hearing the clanging sound of hammers inside, Baoyu pulled out a wooden board from somewhere and built another small room next to the wooden house. "What are you doing?" Woolen cloth?"

Baoyu climbed up to the roof of the hut and hammered a few more nails, "Sister, let me make a bathing place for you. My father and I live together, carrying a bucket of water in the yard, naked. Just splash the water, that's it. You can't be like us here now, right?"

Zhou Chenyu snorted and raised his eyes to look at him, "You have a conscience and know how difficult it is to understand me."

"Then, where can I find such a considerate brother?" Baoyu chuckled.

"Where can I find it? It's all over the street." Zhou Chenyu rolled his eyes at him, moved the iron stove outside the house, stuffed the rosin chips he brought from home to light it, and put in small firewood little by little. When it is big, put the cooked rice on the pot and cook it.

The fire boiled the rice water, and the lid of the pot made a gurgling sound as the steam hit the ground. The pointed and long rice grains sucked in the water juice and exploded. The salty dried fish was evaporated by the hot steam to release the fragrant juice, which seeped into the rice and cooked together. Ripe.

When the rice was cooked, Baoyu cut down a large thick bamboo and cut a rice spoon, chopsticks and several bamboo bowls.

Zhou Chenyu put the salted fish and dried rice into a bamboo bowl, washed the pot, cracked two eggs from home into it, fried two poached eggs and divided them.

After cooking, it got dark. They put a cover on the oil lamp and moved outside to eat.

The terrain of Stone Mountain is high, and there are no big trees blocking the forest wooden houses, so the bright sky seems to be within reach.

Zhou Chenyu watched the night for a while, then took a bite of a poached egg, the sandwiched egg yolk overflowing from his mouth, and shook his legs with satisfaction.Sometimes people are very hungry, and simple food is a delicacy.

She poked Baoyu beside her with her elbow, "Hey, what are your plans for tomorrow?"

After a while, most of the rice in Baoyu's bowl was gone. "Sister, what do you think?"

Zhou Chenyu looked at the afterimages of trees outside the stone wall, "This is my first time hunting in the mountains. You have been here with dad several times before. You have more experience than me. This time, sister, I will listen to your arrangements."

Do you all listen to him?

There are only himself and his sister in the barren mountains and old forests here. In the past, he hid under his sister's wings. Now at this juncture, how can he rely on his sister's principles anymore?

Baoyu took another two mouthfuls of rice, and his green eyes became a little calmer, "Sister, do you think this is okay? Tomorrow I will split up. I will go to the back mountain to hunt, and you stay near the wooden house." Zhou Chenyu came here for the first time. , and I have no hunting experience. If I follow Baoyu to a farther place, I will only become a burden. It is better to stop around the wooden house and wait until I really get started before making other plans.

She nodded, "Okay, let's do that."

After dinner, they simply wiped their bodies with cold water, bolted the doors inside and outside, and went back to the cabin to lie down.

There were only a few boards separating the wooden room from the main room. Zhou Chenyu slept on the bed, and Baoyu spread out a straw mat in the main room, put on a quilt, and spent the whole day trekking through mountains and rivers. Shortly after lying down, the others fell asleep.

Zhou Chenyu listened to the light snoring coming from outside the partition. He was obviously very heavy but not sleepy at all. Thinking back to the last few nights he slept in the Tang Mansion, he muttered: "Am I admitting my bed?"

She turned over and stared at the moonlight on the floor for a while, gradually becoming sleepy. Just as she was about to close her eyes, Huangdou outside the courtyard screamed twice.

anyone? !
Zhou Chenyu opened his eyes warily and immediately sat up from the bed.

The shortest way out here is a day's walk away. Where are the people in the barren mountains and ridges?

animal?

It would be okay if it was an animal...

What if they were gangsters hiding in the mountains? How could she and Baoyu be their opponents?
Zhou Chenyu couldn't sit still anymore. He quickly lifted the quilt and stood up. He took out the knife from under his luggage, quietly walked to the partition and pushed Baoyu twice.

Baoyu, who had fallen asleep, didn't react at all. He even turned over and pursed his lips. He didn't know what sweet dream he was having.
Otherwise, Zhou Chenyu would really want to kick him awake if there was too much noise.

The barking of the dog, which had been quiet for a moment, kept barking again. She lowered her eyes to the gap in the partition and stared at the door. It seemed as if something heavy hit the wooden board outside the door. The barking of the dog stopped suddenly, and for a moment it seemed like it was all sound. It was completely silent, except for the sound of her rapid breathing.

Zhou Chenyu held the knife tightly, sweating on his palms. When he was about to wake up Baoyu, a sharp cat meowed outside gradually faded away. He must have been driven out by Huang Dou. After the cat left, the yard was completely calm. Come down.

In a false alarm, her legs collapsed to the ground, "It turns out to be a cat..."

The wild cat made such a fuss last night that Zhou Chenyu had to tie the knife to his body and never leave it for a moment before falling asleep fitfully.

Stone Mountain is located to the east where the sun rises. It gets bright very early. When the weak sunlight sets, the birds that get up early to eat insects make chirping sounds.

Yesterday, they agreed to split up, so after breakfast, Baoyu stuffed two rice balls, took a shovel and a crossbow, and went deeper behind the stone mountain alone.

When hunting in Stone Mountain, they use only three methods.

The first is to dig a large hole around the animal's activities, put food in it, and lure the prey to jump into the trap. Because digging a hole is troublesome, this method is mostly targeted at large prey, such as wild boars, wild deer, and wild goats.
