Living in the mountains and forests as hunters

Chapter 70

"Let's move to live. I thought about it. It's rainy in spring, and it happens to be the time of spring plowing. I'm afraid it's inconvenient to build a house. There are not so many people. In a place where we don't have wood for beams, this wood But it has to be air-dried, and it won’t be available in a while. There is also the money at home, although it is said that there are more than 60 taels, but we still have to go to the village to collect the goods. It’s a sum of money, not to mention those stone strips. Dingshan Village has to pay the bill when it’s delivered. We’d better save up some money and talk about it honestly. I’m thinking of waiting for these to be ready. It’s going to be summer anyway. At that time, the silver reward from the imperial court that Catcher Cai said may not come down, no matter how much it is, at least one or two can be subsidized, and those promised bows and arrows. After a while, I figured out how to make the family save a lot. We will build the house when we have enough 100 taels. These days, we will prepare the wood first. In a few months, we can’t be too sloppy It is better to tidy up those few rooms. Even if the kang is not built, the leather quilts must be fastened."

An Dalang now has a good look at his calculations, especially when he calculates money, he has a smile on his face unconsciously. He is proud of being able to accumulate his family's wealth to this extent. Compared with his father, His grandfather can do it, right?

"Okay! Then let's tidy up those houses. Let's live in the one facing east. Although it is smaller, it is right at the gate of the yard, and you can hear someone shouting. By the way, that window is too. But you have to tidy it up, make a new one, and the door, make a door frame, make a wooden door with a window, and another hall, one of the two rooms is for Dabao and the others, and the other is good for a storage room, that is. You have to clean up the exit, so that the two children can climb up out of curiosity, and it will be bad if something goes wrong."

"If you want me to say, there is nothing else, the best thing is to take out the mountain stream. With this, it will be much easier for us to drink water, and we don't have to go down the mountain to fetch water. It's just those vines, I don't feel very at ease. I still need to fumigate it with that sulfur, lest there be snakes or something."

The husband and wife were discussing the matter of this house quietly in the dark. As they talked, the two of them fell asleep without knowing it. These days, the whole family was actually very tired because of digging caves for this. After everything was done, people would feel sleepy as soon as they relaxed mentally. If it wasn't for An Dalang who was still feeling a little uncomfortable, I'm afraid they wouldn't even have the time to talk.

The next day, when An Dalang agreed to go to the village, he still had a big basket on his back, but this time he was going to collect things, but he didn’t bring much. He just prepared some rice noodles for Da Hu’s family. As a gift, this married girl always sends things to her mother's house. If she meets someone else's house, her in-law's family will probably bleed white eyes at this time, but there is nothing wrong with Zhao Yiyi. Who told her No in-laws!This matter really made Mrs. Zhao Qian talk about it. It's not normal, but An Dalang also takes good care of the mother-in-law and brother-in-law of the Yue family, and treats them all as his own relatives. Which one of the Zhao family's nest is not good now? Said that Zhao Yiyi married the right person, Zhao Qian's found a good son-in-law!
An Dalang went to collect the goods everywhere, so Zhao Yiyi was naturally responsible for cleaning up the house. The male lead outside and the female lead inside. Is this a normal work assignment? Dabao and the others were finally able to happily follow their aunt to the home that was just excavated yesterday. The new site has been explored once.

Tidying up and scrubbing all the stone houses carefully, Zhao Yiyi also carefully found a lot of places in the passage with a hammer and ropes, and made several places where oil lamps and torches could be placed. The inside is very bright, as for the house and stone hall in the east, there is already a place for lighting, so just put a lantern at night.

Only when the lanterns were needed, Zhao Yiyi realized that the lanterns at home seemed to be insufficient. Thinking about the cave they used as an inn, it seemed that such lighting objects were also needed. Zhao Yiyi immediately had one more job. Take Dabao and the others to the bamboo forest to harm the bamboo again, and take advantage of the afternoon when there is nothing to do, it took seven or eight days before they stopped.

Zhao Yiyi tidied up the place where An Dalang first dug the cave, and at least made the entrance of the cave tidy, like a door, Dabao and the others slowly tidied up a section of the passageway floor, and prepared to use it. A few days of time correction, at least it can't make people fall!This is a stone, if you don't make it right, you will open your head.Don't be careless.

Waiting for these things to be finished, it will be a while to move, moving bedding and the like to those houses, Dabao and Erbao are very excited, they have their own house, although it is a stone bed, but now it is already It's spring, and you won't feel cold if you don't sleep on the heated kang, as long as you spread a thick bedding underneath and add a piece of leather, which is soft and not cold, won't it feel good there?Although the stone bed looks a bit small, it is enough for the two children, but Zhao Yiyi, when she moved to the east room, saw that bed, her face turned red, it was so small. The bed, waiting for two people to sleep, I am afraid that the body is next to the body, it is no longer like the original kang, where there is another person sleeping between the two people.At that time, will they have one quilt or two beds?

The one-year filial piety period has not yet passed, and Zhao Yiyi knew in her heart that An Dalang would not do anything to her, but she couldn't help being shy when she thought about sleeping so close together. Turning her head and thinking about it, she felt I seem to have been assimilated by this era, and people have become shy, just thinking about it, I can actually blush.

When An Dalang returned home, all the light things had been moved, and only the heavy ones were left. Under Zhao Yiyi's command, An Dalang separated the boxes and cages, and placed the boxes for An Dalang and his wife's clothes. Put them in their house, Dabao and others put them in Dabao's house, and the rest were transported to the last opened house without stone beds, as well as those stored grains, vegetables, only enough left in the original place. The things that were used for food for three or five days were also put away, and a big relocation was done.

"In the future, we will still eat and entertain guests here. These two kangs can be used when there are not enough people to live in, and there is no need to dismantle them. In winter, if the house built outside is too cold to live in, we can have them." It’s not a place to spend the winter. By the way, Dalang, there is nothing in those stone houses. You can make a few cabinets, shelves and so on in a few days, so we can put things there.”

Zhao Yiyi was not polite at all when he ordered his man to do the work, he didn't even give him time to rest, and when he came back in the afternoon, he was asked to be the door and window maker, moving things non-stop, and now he directly His work for the next few days will be fully arranged, and An Dalang looks at such a daughter-in-law, without any dissatisfaction, and waits to go back to the room, looking at the small stone bed, still giggling sniggering.Finally, it's time to wait, just the house of myself and my daughter-in-law!It's still such a small bed, and today I can sleep beautifully with my wife in my arms.As for the cabinet that the daughter-in-law mentioned, there is no rush, he has plenty of time and strength.

It was so easy to wait for things to be done, to go to the hot spring to wash the body, and the family moved to a new house. An Dalang looked at the motionless daughter-in-law who had already slept on the bed, her head was facing the stone wall, and the corners of her mouth were smiling. It's a bit unnatural, for some reason, he suddenly became a little nervous, and couldn't help but despise himself, this wasn't the night when he married his wife, why was he so nervous!Not to mention consummating the house, what to do with my excited heart beating so fast.

With a heartless heart, An Dalang quickened his movements, took off his clothes, and stuffed himself into the quilt. Looking at the two bulging quilts, his eyes darkened, and he lifted his own quilt and directly covered Zhao Yiyi's. body, and then got into Zhao Yiyi's bed, hugged the already stiff body of the daughter-in-law, leaned into Zhao Yiyi's ear, and whispered:

"Daughter-in-law, this is not a heated kang, it's not very warm, you probably aren't used to sleeping on it, and the mattress is too thin, it's better to cover it up more, let's squeeze each other so we can stay warm, if we catch cold, it won't be good. "

A high-sounding reason!What Zhao Yiyi said was neither should nor should not be, she didn't know what to say, she felt in a daze that this man's big hand was sticking to her waist like fire.And that scorching breath, which was so close to her ear, Zhao Yiyi really froze, she didn't know how she should react at this time, waiting for her to wake up and feel that she could recover , the man had already hugged him tightly from behind, without leaving any gaps, and just lay down under two quilts.

You can clearly hear his fast heartbeat, you can feel the slightly sweaty palms on his hands, you can feel the slightly rapid breathing, everything shows that this man is nervous, it seems that as long as he As soon as she made a move, he would quickly push away, returning to the distance they had before, but Zhao Yiyi hesitated at this moment, and she suddenly felt that she also longed for this kind of closeness, enjoying each other's love like this. close.

Closing her eyes, Zhao Yiyi stabilized her heartbeat, then she didn't say anything, didn't do any action, just pretending that nothing happened, and started to pretend to sleep by self-hypnosis.

Zhao Yiyi didn't move, which was the best response for An Dalang. In the dark night, the corners of An Dalang's mouth were wide open, and his eyes were shining. He could feel the shyness of his own wife, and he could also feel the embarrassment of his own wife. The daughter-in-law's closeness to him, how could this not make him happy, couldn't help but tightened her arms into his arms, moved her head closer to Zhao Yiyi's neck, and carefully helped Zhao Yiyi pull the quilt , closed his eyes happily, although he hadn't consummated the house yet, but he was able to sleep with his wife in his arms, which was progress.
