There are beautiful girls in the hunter's house

Chapter 72 Confession (second update)
Guessing in her heart, Lin Xiu said face-to-face: "If there is a bowl of corn and rice, mix it with vegetable juice now, it will definitely go well with the rice."

Xiong Qingshan froze, he remembered that time when he ate stir-fried fish slices at Lin's house, he ate corn rice, the soup was a little spicy, but when he mixed it into the corn rice, although it was still a bit spicy, the spiciness faded away A lot, and the bland rice had a bit more flavour.It was so fragrant that he ate all the rice cooked by Lin Xiu.

Thinking of the delicious food that day, even Xiong Qingshan, who didn't care about his appetite, couldn't help swallowing, he said: "I'll find someone to exchange some corn for tomorrow, I caught fish, and you will have sex with me again." Stir-fry the fish fillets to eat, and then we will also cook a pot of corn rice."

Lin Xiu looked up at him in surprise.

She was just saying it casually, but she didn't expect that this person would take it seriously, and even go so far as to exchange corn with him for cooking.

Although she loves corn and rice, she doesn't have to eat corn and rice.Farmers are satisfied if they can fill their stomachs. How can they be picky about what is delicious and what is not?She was lucky enough to be loved by her parents, so she could cook some corn and rice from time to time to satisfy her cravings.Now that she is married, she can no longer be as self-willed as she was when she was a girl. She thinks more and cares more, and can no longer just focus on the meal in front of her.

"If we change the corn, we only need to cook a meal to satisfy our cravings. Are we rich or not, how can we spend a lot of money and only focus on satisfying our appetite? It is too much to exchange our own food for corn to cook and eat. It’s a bit extravagant. There’s not much food production, not to mention we have to pay taxes, so if there’s a famine some year, where can we find food?”

The tax revenue of this dynasty is divided into food and cloth. The annual food production is not abundant, and part of it has to be handed over, leaving even less food for the family. As a result, many farmers' families are struggling.And most of the farmers went to reclaim wasteland, but the more fields they planted, the more grain they could harvest. In this way, they could last until the next year to harvest grain.

"Don't worry, our family doesn't have to pay taxes."

Lin Xiu was worried, and Xiong Qingshan suddenly said lightly.

His tone was so indifferent that Lin Xiu couldn't react for a while. When she came back to her senses, she still had a misheard look, "You... what did you say?"

It was rare to see her like this, Xiong Qingshan raised the corners of his lips, and repeated: "I said, our family does not need to pay taxes, and the food is enough to eat, so there is no need to save it."

"No tax? Well, why?"

Because of Lin Wenhan's study, Lin Xiu knew that if there is a scholar in the family who is admitted to Juren, the family can enjoy tax relief. However, Xiong Qingshan is single, and he is not a scholar, so how can he not have to pay taxes?

Lin Xiu looked at Xiong Qingshan and felt that he was lying to herself.

……

Lin Xiu's appearance made Xiong Qingshan a little helpless, he said: "I don't have to pay taxes, there must be a reason."

"I know, what is the reason why you don't have to pay taxes?"

Xiong Qingshan pressed his fist to his lips and coughed twice, "It's a long story, after we finish talking, the food will be cold, let's eat first, I'll talk to you again after the meal."

Lin Xiu was still a little unwilling, but she still started to eat seriously.

She speeded up her meal, and after eating the half steamed bun in her hand, she directly picked up the porridge bowl and started to drink the porridge with homemade tofu.

With things in mind, Lin Xiu put down the bowls and chopsticks faster than usual, but when she finished eating, Xiong Qingshan hadn't finished eating yet, so he held his newly bought basin, and when he picked up the basin, he covered his face Not revealing anything, but looking at Xiong Qingshan, Lin Xiu suddenly remembered: "Master, do you feel tired holding this basin?"

She has held this basin before, it is really not light and delicate, when she holds it, she always uses two hands, but Xiong Qingshan has to hold it with one hand, and the left hand is weaker than the right hand, Lin Xiu can't help but feel a little worried.

"It's okay, I don't think the weight of this idea is too heavy." Xiong Qingshan replied, taking another big mouthful of porridge.

He finished the porridge in the basin, helped Lin Xiu clean up, and then took her back to the room.

"I still need to wash it..."

"It's okay, if it's cold today, it's just a day, it's tasteless." Seeing Lin Xiu's love for cleanliness, Xiong Qingshan coaxed.

Lin Xiu: "..."

She hesitated, and in the end, her love of cleanliness was defeated by her curiosity about unknown secrets. She thought, don't wash it today, wait until tomorrow, and must wash it tomorrow.

……

As soon as she returned to the room, Lin Xiu couldn't wait to ask: "What's the reason? Tell me quickly."

Xiong Qingshan didn't intend to show off any more, he said directly: "I exchanged this with my military achievements."

"Military merit?!" Lin Xiu's eyes widened in surprise, "You, when did you gain military merit?"

"Have Aunt Jin ever told you that I have been away from home for a few years? In those years, I went to serve in the military. I have a lot of strength and good luck, so I made some military exploits and won the favor of the general. Later, when the war was peaceful and I wanted to return to my hometown, the general made the decision and exempted me from taxation."

What Xiong Qingshan said was calm and breezy, but to Lin Xiu, it was as magical as a script.

How could she have thought that the person next to her pillow, who looked like an ordinary hunter, had actually joined the army and killed the enemy?It's no wonder that this person is surrounded by a sinister aura, which was honed from fighting.

Lin Xiu was in a daze, seeing her like this, Xiong Qingshan didn't make a sound, he bent down, took off Lin Xiu's shoes, and put her legs on the bed.

Lin Xiu suddenly came back to her senses, seeing Xiong Qingshan's actions, she felt a little complicated for a while.

She thought of the previous few times when she was in love, she had inadvertently felt the bumps and scars on his back, but at that time she had no time to think about it, but now that she thought about it again, she also guessed the origin of those scars on his body: "Your back Those wounds are those wounds on the battlefield, right?"

Xiong Qingshan nodded.

Recalling what Jin Hua said, when Xiong Qingshan's parents died, he was only 15 years old, and he left for several years after observing his filial piety.Thinking of a young man who was not a few years older than her younger brother but had to fight for her life on the battlefield, Lin Xiu felt a sharp pain in her heart like a needle prick.

Unexpectedly, when he talked about the past, it caused Lin Xiu to have tears in his eyes. Xiong Qingshan was at a loss for a moment, and he began to regret why he said it. If he didn't say it, he wouldn't make Lin Xiu cry .

He was anxious in his heart, but at the same time, he felt satisfied.

Since the death of his parents when he was 15 years old, he has been single for more than ten years now, and this is the first time that someone has cried for him, although he has never liked tears, but It was only when someone cried because they felt sorry for him that he realized that it was such a good feeling to be missed by others.

　There are some unexpected situations, the second update came a bit late... It seems that starting tomorrow, we still have to strive for more code words to save the manuscript, so as to face unexpected accidents...
