I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 117 Rotten Peach Blossom 3
Last night, Zhou Chenyu was lying on the bed. Her hair hadn't dried yet, and she fell asleep without realizing it. After a night passed, the quilt covering her body felt as cold as a thin layer of frost, and she woke up from the cold early in the morning. .

"Ah."

Zhou Chenyu sneezed, saw the open window, and walked to the window covering his stuffed nose.

She stood there, having stayed deep in the Stone Mountain for the past ten days. The green summer scenery outside the window had changed into a depressed scene. The leaves and bamboo leaves turned from green to withered yellow, one after another detached from the branches and fell. Into the mud.

Gusts of cold wind blew into the house. She rubbed her arms, added more clothes to her body, put them on and walked outside, inhaling the cool breeze through her nose, and sneezed heavily.

Li Xiuju was in the kitchen working on breakfast when she heard a voice and stuck her head out, "But you caught a cold?"

"It seems a little cold." Zhou Chenyu shivered twice and slipped into the kitchen. The rice grains in the hot pot simmered for more than half an hour, turning into a soft, white and creamy thick porridge.

She followed Li Xiuju and sighed, "It's better to be at home. You can have breakfast as soon as you get up, so you don't have to worry about what to eat."

Li Xiuju smiled, squeezed off the water from the dried vegetables, cut them into dices, and mixed them into the porridge with the chopped lean meat and shredded ginger. "It's getting cold. Mom will make you some dried vegetable and meat porridge. Let's eat it." Warm. Is Baoyu awake? Let him get up early, because the porridge will not taste good when it gets cold."

"I didn't see him, I'll go take a look."

Zhou Chenyu walked to Baoyu's room. Baoyu's room was in the innermost room. Usually, some light would not come in until noon. At this time, the room was still dark and nothing could be seen.

"Baoyu, get up and have breakfast." She stood outside the door and called twice. Baoyu responded to her with a thick nasal voice, saying that he would get up immediately. After a while, the room became quiet again.

During the hunting period, Baoyu did much more work than she did.

"I guess you're exhausted, so I'll let you sleep a little longer." Zhou Chenyu closed the door and quietly walked out of the house. After washing, Baoyu got up, and it would still be a while before breakfast.

Zhou Chenyu walked into the room where the pheasants and hares were kept. The hares were holding young grass in their mouths, showing two big fangs, while the well-fed pheasants were huddled in the corner, huddled together.

She bent down and counted carefully, "One, two, three... there are eight hares and twelve pheasants, leaving two to keep at home. A chicken can be sold for at least eighty cents, and a hare can be sold for four For ten coins, that wild deer can probably be sold for about one tael, so if you add it all up, you can earn almost two taels of silver?"

"Not bad, not bad. It's hard work to earn this money, but the reward is also high." Zhou Chenyu covered his hands happily, "After selling this time's prey, I will go hunting twice at Stone Mountain and save everything. We have enough money to survive the winter and have a good year.”

Li Xiuju brought the cooked dried vegetable and lean meat porridge, appetizing hot and sour beans and steamed sweet potatoes to the table, "Chenyu, Baoyu, you two come over quickly and have breakfast."

"I'm coming."

Zhou Chenyu walked over and sat down. His palms were a little cold, but he covered the bowl filled with porridge and instantly felt warm.

She took a small spoonful and took a sip. The hot porridge stimulated the taste buds on the tip of her tongue, and her whole brain was confused. She couldn't taste the taste of dried vegetable porridge.

The porridge was too hot, so I had to stir it with a spoon and drink it slowly.

Although Baoyu washed his face, he was still covered. He took a drowsy sip, and then the porridge entered his mouth. His brain was completely scorched awake, his eyes widened, he opened his mouth and exhaled, "Huhu, mother, this dish is delicious." , prepare some for me next time you go into the mountains, right?"

The two siblings ate a lot, and Li Xiuju was energetic in her work. She nodded happily, "There are a lot of vegetables to dry. Mom will pack some for you." The family sat in the courtyard to have breakfast and take a nap, and Li Xiuju came to find them. Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu loaded several large bamboo cages into the car with pheasants, rabbits and wild deer, and immediately set off for the city.

A cart full of animals was jolted by the cart. Zhou Chenyu looked around and prepared to stuff some grass for them to eat, which would not only comfort them but also add some weight.

But since autumn, the white fog lingering in the green mountains has become less and less. The weeds on both sides of the road have become dry and yellow without moisture. Within the field of vision, only the grass beside the ditch and the rice in the fields still look like summer. of green.

"I'll get a pile of grass and you wait." Zhou Chenyu rushed down the slope with his skirt in hand.

"Sister, be careful." Baoyu was waiting above. A rough man with black face and white teeth emerged from the rice field across the ditch. He was Huzi's eldest brother Longzi, one of the few older unmarried men left in the village.

Baoyu saw the mud on his hand, pointed it at Zhou Chenyu, and shouted anxiously: "Sister, be careful behind you, someone is going to throw mud at you!"

Zhou Chenyu looked over, but the man didn't dare to throw it over. He just smiled evilly, "Hey, why did a beautiful girl suddenly appear in Zhoujia Village? At first glance, isn't she my sister Chen Yu? Alas. , I was really happy for nothing, I thought God was wise and would finally give me a wife."

Zhou Chenyu had dealt with this man several times. Although he was not bad, he was not honest. He was full of tricks and would always take advantage of a beautiful young woman.

A thin-skinned person like Zhou Wanqiu would turn red when he teased her.

But Zhou Chenyu would not give him a good look, and made him speechless several times. He thought he would teach him a lesson, but he did not expect that he would still behave like this.

Zhou Chenyu was too lazy to reply to him, hugged the weed tightly and walked onto the road, "Baoyu, let's go."

"Sister, walk slower." Baoyu quietly grabbed a handful of mud, rolled it into a ball, and threw it toward the rice field while Longzi lowered his head and wasn't paying attention.

From the rice field, Longzi cursed angrily, "Baoyu, come back here!"

"You old man, you have no control over your mouth! If you dare to bully my sister again, I will kill you!" Baoyu stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes.

Zhou Chenyu held the trolley with his hand and burst into laughter.

Baoyu rubbed his hands with satisfaction, turned around, saw her smile, and said in surprise: "Sister, Brother Long Zi told you in the past that you would not be merciful, and you would even be more merciful than me. How could you let him go today? "

Zhou Chenyu looked at his strange eyes, his smile froze, and he blinked, "To deal with such a shameless scoundrel, just ignore him. Why bother to be as knowledgeable as him?"

Baoyu smiled and shrugged, "I can't see the reason."

He opened his eyes wide with a smile and raised his eyebrows in a cunning manner: "Sister, are you so happy, isn't it because you are about to see Team Leader Yang?"

"Do I have it?" Zhou Chenyu asked himself in return. Baoyu glared at him and threatened him openly, insisting that he would get to the bottom of it.

The corners of Zhou Chenyu's mouth quirked up playfully, a bright smile spread quickly on his face, and the fragrance of osmanthus blew in the wind, "Well, where did the fragrance of osmanthus come from?"
