Lao He and Zhang Bao then returned to the house in front and closed the door tightly.
The courtyard gate has been repaired by two people. Although it is ugly, it is very strong.
This courtyard is not big.
It is surrounded by mud walls with a lot of dead grass on them. After the two people reinforced it, they used stones and soil to raise it a lot higher than the original foundation.
It's not that easy to climb up.
There are two main rooms on the north side.
Zhang Bao and Xiaoyue live on the left, and Lao He lives on the right.
Although Lao He was reluctant and wanted to live in the old house, Zhang Bao sternly refused.
In Zhang Bao's opinion.
Lao He is not simple.
He can fight wolves with his bare hands, and his reactions and movements when entering the mountains are no worse than Hu Dugu's.
Having Lao He living with me makes me feel more at ease at night.
So I forced myself to stay.
There are some straw sheds on the left and right sides of the yard, with a lot of firewood piled up.
The things Su Xiaoyue had rummaged through from the old house before could not be hidden here at all, so she could only bring the important ones with her.
The rest were still hidden back in the old house intact.
When to use, when to take.
At this time, a pot of broth was being boiled in the courtyard.
Everyone in the village knows about the wolf hunting today.
There is no need to cover it up deliberately.
Say it again.
Now Lao He is back too.
Coupled with the power of the two men who killed wolves before, ordinary people would not easily provoke them.
Zhang Bao also understood.
Blindly hiding one's clumsiness is not the answer.
Hit with one punch to avoid a hundred punches coming.
When you should be ruthless, you should still be ruthless.
This time it's wolf meat.
As before, they cooked the meat and made it into mature meat cubes. After freezing it, they mixed it in a pile of rocks and preserved it.
Su Xiaoyue was carefully cutting the meat with a kitchen knife.
He kept counting the pieces of meat and narrowed his eyes.
Ever since Zhang Bao recovered.
Su Xiaoyue also gradually put away her previous personality.
I want to be a little woman.
Follow Zhang Baoyan's advice.
Not only that.
Now, Su Xiaoyue still stubbornly goes into bed every night to warm Zhang Bao's bed.
It might have been forced before, but now it is done willingly.
In Su Xiaoyue's opinion.
I can't help Zhang Bao in other aspects.
I can only do my best to serve Zhang Bao well.
Zhang Bao couldn't resist her and gradually got used to it.
Fortunately, there are more quilts at home now. Although they are not cotton quilts, I can make a fire in the house before going to bed and cover myself with a few quilts, so I can sleep comfortably at night.
After having a full meal.
Su Xiaoyue no longer has cramps at night.
For Su Xiaoyue.
He also gradually dared to look Zhang Bao in the eyes.
Although her current life is still poor, Su Xiaoyue is as satisfied as if she were soaking in a honeypot.
She also has her own plans and must take good care of her body.
In the future, if I give Zhang Bao several fat sons and continue the Zhang family's legacy, I will be worthy of the Zhang family in my life...
…
Dinner for three.
It's a big pot of broth made from wolf bones.
With two pieces of elm bread, it's enough.
Su Xiaoyue was sweating profusely while eating.
He kept squinting his eyes, feeling very satisfied.
During the recent period, Su Xiaoyue had a good rest at night because she had eaten enough and was dressed warmly.
If you rest well, your mental state will be good, and a virtuous cycle will begin.
The whole person is full of vitality.
Seeing Zhang Bao finish his bowl, he quickly got up and gave Zhang Bao another bowl.
Zhang Bao drank the broth and felt that all the coldness in his body was dissipated.
There is also a small piece of pickles that Su Xiaoyue left in the bowl.
originally.
Zhang Bao thought that as a chef in the field army, he knew a lot about survival in the wild.
But compared with the survival ability of ordinary people in Daxia, it is still far behind.
After traveling through time, Zhang Bao felt like a child in many aspects.
Take an ordinary meal as an example.
If Su Xiaoyue hadn't secretly hidden so many pickles before, what they were eating now would probably have no taste at all.
The salt and iron franchise that Zhang Bao saw in a book before was just a sentence.
But after arriving in Daxia.
Only then did I truly realize this difference.
It was fine in the past.
In this age, we can't even eat, let alone spend money to buy salt.
There are still many consequences of not eating salt.
What is common is weakness in the limbs.
Normal skeletal muscle contraction and nerve conduction require the participation of salt. If you do not eat salt for a long time, it will easily cause a decrease in the strength of the limbs.
It will definitely not work if this continues for a long time.
Maybe this was the purpose of the Daxia court, to restrain the people, how could they rebel if they didn't have the strength?
Thinking of this, Zhang Bao really felt a little anxious.
Then I thought about sharing the meat today.
The following tenants seemed to be incompatible with each other, and they felt inexplicably upset in their hearts.
The most important thing right now is to have a few people you can trust.
Of course Lao He is fine.
Li Daniu got in touch with him, which was good.
Although he is a bit naive, his character is not bad and he has the skill of a carpenter, so he can be a help in the future.
The second is this Hudugu.
From what Li Daniu said, as tenants, they had frequent contact with each other and didn't know much about Hu Dugu.
If you want to hide it.
How could it be exposed this time?
Is it because Lao He went to find him?
Or is it because he also has other ideas?
But Zhang Bao thought about it and couldn't think of any place where Hu Dugu posed a threat to him.
The essence of the struggle is interests.
If there are no overlapping interests, there will naturally be no conflicts.
"Uncle He, how much do you know about Hu Dugu?"
Zhang Bao asked Lao He.
Lao He sat down again with a bowl of broth.
"Master, have you noticed it today?"
Hearing Zhang Bao's sudden question, he was a little surprised.
"Well, this Hudugu is a little strange."
"Looking at his movements, he must have some skills. And that Blue, he doesn't look like an ordinary person."
"How could such a person be willing to just be a tenant?"
Zhang Bao said to Lao He.
"Besides, I heard that she escaped from Liaozhou. Liaozhou is so far away. How could she find a woman from Sanhe County?"
Zhang Bao continued to analyze.
For Daxia.
Emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce.
Transportation is very inconvenient.
Some people even have never left the village in their entire lives.
It is very unusual to say that a person has been to Liaozhou, let alone a woman.
That is to say.
It is very likely that Hudugu came here himself.
What do Liaozhou people do here?
Zhang Bao followed this line, and the more he thought about it, the more he became confused.
