Shen Chenai's Different Life in Ancient Times

Early the next morning, when Shen Chenai woke up, she found that the outfit Luo Ding prepared for him today was very different from usual.In addition to a dark upper and lower cotton coat, the most special thing is the pair of thick-soled buckskin cotton boots.

In addition to these things, Luo Ding also prepared a thick coat and a small sheepskin hat for Shen Chenai.

Looking at these things, Shen Chenai began to be sure that the place Luo Ding wanted to take her would not be able to enter, and it seemed that the road would not be easy.

After breakfast, Luo Ding planned to take Shen Chenai out. Looking at the things he was wearing and carrying, Shen Chenai became even more sure of the judgments she had just made.

I saw that Luo Ding was also wearing a dark cotton coat and high-soled cotton shoes, but for convenience, he did not wear the heavy coat, but put on the half arm of the sheepskin that Shen Chenai bought for him.

Luo Ding didn't wear a hat, nor did he wear anything else, but he had a longbow on his back, a quiver on his waist, and a very sharp hatchet in his hand.

In addition, Luo Ding also packed a bag in advance last night and asked Shen Chenai to carry it in his hand when he was leaving. The things in it Shen Chenai had seen last night were just some seasonings, a small can of pork, Huoziezi and some commonly used medicines.

Looking at Luo Ding's equipment and thinking about the things in the bag, Shen Chenai felt that he should be able to guess where Luo Ding wanted to take him.

Sure enough, when going out, Luo Ding brought Huzi and Boltou from the pig shed. Before leaving, Luo Ding took Huzi and its two little bitches from the second litter, and left Botou at home.

When going out the gate, Luo Ding stroked the dull head that stayed at home, and said to it: "I'm going to take Hu Zi and your sisters out, you have to stay at home obediently, and take care of your family, you know?"

Shen Chenai didn't know if Boltou understood what Luo Ding said, but from its constantly wagging tail, it could be seen that Boltou should be in a good mood right now.

Luo Ding led Huzi to the front, and Shen Chenai led Daya and Erya to the back. These two puppies are now more than 20 months old, and they already look like big dogs.

Luo Ding and the others walked westward all the way, and when they passed the residential area, people who knew them kept saying hello to them, and some acquaintances asked directly: "Luo Ding sees that you are going to go up the mountain Hunting? There is nothing on the mountain this season, the big thing is hungry and fierce, it is not suitable to go up the mountain at this time."

Before this time, Luo Ding would smile and reply kindly: "It's either hunting, or I've been busy for a year. I don't have time to spare, so I want to go to the mountains to relax."

In the winter, go to the mountains to relax?This habit is really strange, but it's fine to talk about other people's affairs, and it's not their turn to take care of them after all.

In this way, Luo Ding led Shen Chenxi all the way westward, leaving the city gate to change paths, and within half an hour, two families and three dogs had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Shen Chenai looked up at the high mountain they were about to climb. There were no tall trees on it, and the most densely grown low bushes on the mountain.

In this season, except for the pine trees, there is no green in the other places on the mountain. Luo Ding has already loosened the reins around the necks of the dogs at this time, letting them follow their masters by themselves. Running back and forth.

The tiger obviously adapted to the current state. From the moment Luo Ding stepped into the bushes up the mountain, the tiger walked in front of Luo Ding vigilantly with its ears pricked up. It was very careful when walking, even its paws Stepping on the branches and leaves that have fallen to the ground, there is no loud sound.

But its two daughters behaved completely differently. It was the first time for Da Ya and Er Ya to follow Luo Ding up the mountain, and they had no experience at all.It was the first time that they were so far away from home, and facing such a wide area, the two dogs seemed excited and kept running around Luo Ding and Shen Chenai.

Fortunately, Luo Ding didn't go out to hunt this time, or else, relying on the energy of the puppies, he could scare the prey away from a long distance.

Huzi is very dissatisfied with the performance of the two daughters. Although it can feel that the owner did not bring them out this time to let them hunt prey, but as a hunting dog, the performance of the daughters is really unqualified.

So Huzi raised his head and barked a few times at the two puppies who were playing around.

When the puppies heard their mother's barking, they looked back at them a few times, but they didn't intend to come back after playing with them. After finding that the mother just barked again and made no other movements, the two puppies walked away. He shouted and ran away.

Discovering that the daughters ignored his call, Huzi became a little angry, and his barking at the exit was much lower than before. Not only that, he also showed his teeth at the puppies looking back, which is very rare.

Seeing that my mother was really angry, Da Ya and Er Ya didn't dare to be naughty, they ran back obediently wagging their tails, and then kept rubbing their bodies against the tiger, coquettishly coquettish with it.

Shen Chenai walked at the end carrying the bag, watching the interaction of the dogs with great interest, while Luo Ding walked ahead vigilantly holding a hatchet, and looked back from time to time to see if Shen Chenai was following.

Shen Chenai found that his physical strength had declined. Although he did not exercise much before, when he occasionally went on site inspection with other people, he was still able to scout the entire site with a Luoyang shovel.

But now, after only climbing half a hill behind Luo Ding, Shen Chenai began to be out of breath.

This mountain is shaded, and the snow on the mountain has not melted much. If you step on it, it will not only wipe the surface of your feet, but if you are not careful, you will slip out of your feet.

Shen Chenai had already carried the burden on her back at this time, and pulled out the surrounding branches with two free hands, so as to ensure that she would not be thrown out after slipping on one foot.

Luo Ding saw that it was really difficult for him to walk, so he slowed down and waited for him. When he came to his side, Luo Ding turned the back of his back to Shen Chenai and said: "You pull the back of the bow , I'll take you ahead."

Shen Chenai heard the words and let go of the hand holding the branch, straightened up and pulled the arched back waiting in front.When Luo Ding saw that he had pulled it off, he let go and continued walking.

With someone leading it in front, it was much easier for Shen Chenai to walk, but he didn't dare to pull it too far, because the bowstring on the front of Luo Ding's body was already stretched tight.

Luo Ding led Shen Chenai all the way across the mountains, from the shadow side of one mountain to the sun side of another mountain.The straight line was only a dozen kilometers long, and it took two people and three dogs to walk for more than two hours.

In fact, it was Shen Chenxi who was dragging the troops back, otherwise at the speed of Luo Ding and the dogs, they should have arrived here long ago.

On the sunny side, the snow on the mountain had almost melted, without the disturbance from the snow, even Shen Chenhai's steps could not help but become much lighter.

There is a rare piece of flat land on this sunny slope, and on the flat land there is a small stone house, which looks like a place for hunters to rest while hunting.

Huzi was very familiar with this place, and it walked carefully in front, leading the people behind it to the door of the stone house.Then they stopped outside the door and waited for Luo Ding and the others.

Luo Ding pushed open the door of the small stone house with ease, and Shen Chenai followed in.The space inside the stone house is not too big. Shen Chenai inspected it visually, and it is only about fifteen square meters at most. There are very few things inside, only a stone bed and a stove candy for living.

What surprised Shen Chenai when he arrived was that this small stone house actually had a fireplace. Although it was small and looked crude, it was indeed a fireplace.

Luo Ding, who was hanging the bow and arrow on the wall, turned around and saw his brother Chen looking at the fireplace curiously, and said casually: "That was when I was building this house, I wanted to try a different one. It’s a way to keep warm, and it’s just covered, but that thing is very useful, and when there’s a fire inside, the room is really warm.”

Shen Chenai asked in surprise when she heard the words: "You said you built this house?"

Hearing this, Luo Ding replied while lighting a fire in the stove sugar: "It's not all due to me alone, the hunters in the village also contributed a lot."

Shen Chenai heard the words and looked around the house, and saw that there were many burnt marks on the roof, so she continued to ask: "This house looks like it has been around for a long time."

Luo Ding heard the words and replied: "I built it when I was 12 years old. I exchanged the wild boars I hunted for stone materials and craftsmen, and the hunters in the village helped me cut the wood. At that time, I thought that I might I will become a hunter, so I wanted to have a place to stay in the mountains, but unfortunately, I went to join the army not long after the house was built, and this house stayed like this.”

Shen Chenai didn't reply when he heard the words, because he really didn't know what to say.Although Luo Ding never told him about his childhood in detail, from a few words, Shen Chenai can somewhat know something.

Seeing Shen Chenai's distressed expression, Luo Ding smiled and said to him: "Those are all things in the past. Speaking of joining the army, it may not be a bad thing for me. In the army, I met Master, and I also met with him. These brothers have formed a life-and-death friendship. If you count it seriously, I still earn the one."

Said that the fire in Luo Ding's hands had already risen, he hung the iron pot filled with water on top of the stove sugar, then went out to bring back a pile of firewood, and lit the fireplace in the house .

With the igniting of the two fires, the originally cold stone house became warmer in an instant. Feeling a little hot, Shen Chenyi untied his coat and put his clothes on the stone bed.

At this time, Shen Chenai, who was close to the stone bed, realized that the animal skins on top were not old at all, those layers of animal skins were clean and fresh, and the fluff on them was soft and fluffy, obviously newly tanned.

Looking around, the grain bags are full, the water in the water tank is fresh, and even outside the windows are neatly stacked piles of chopped wood. It is obvious that someone has sorted it out in advance.

Thinking about Luo Ding's disappearance yesterday, the cleanliness of this room is understandable, but Luo Ding has spent so much thought, maybe he just wants to take him to the mountains to stay for two days, experience Have a look at life here?

Luo Ding, who was cooking at the stove, seemed to have seen Shen Chenai's doubts. While stirring the porridge in the pot, he said to the doubtful Shen Chenai: "Don't worry, I will take you out at night."

That is, Shen Chenai, who had nothing to do now and felt bored, lay down on the stone bed and looked at the scenery outside through the window.

Just when he felt bored, Da Ya and Er Ya, who were going in and out of the house and playing around, suddenly barked into the woods outside the house.

The barking of the daughters caught Huzi's attention, and he got up from the door, sniffed a few times in the direction where the puppies were barking, and then let out a whining sound.

Huzi's barking this time was very strange, something Shen Chenai had never heard before, although the voice was deep, it was not fierce at all, on the contrary, there was a little coquettish meaning in it.
