Daiyu of the Red Chamber raised a cat

Afraid that Lin Ruhai would be worried, Daiyu didn't go back to the space immediately, but sat down and adjusted her breath.

The jungle they were in was sparsely populated, and there were thick dead leaves piled up on the ground. The dew was heavy at night, and the dead leaves were damp and even had a moldy smell.Daiyu didn't seem to care about it, she didn't dislike being dirty, she just sat on the dead leaves naturally.

Looking at her like this, Zhou Hang felt that he was getting closer to her.The original Lin Daiyu felt to him like the bright moon hanging high in the sky, with high talents and well-cultivated, not stained by a speck of dust.Although it is not unreasonable, it always feels like there is some sense of distance.

Coming out this time, it feels like the distance between them has shortened a lot.

Surrounded by towering giant trees, the green leaves shade the sun in summer, but in winter the trees shed their leaves and are bare, which lacks a lot of color.Zhou Hang raised his head and looked around boredly, but saw yellow and orange among the dead branches not far away. Looking carefully, it turned out that there were several wild persimmon trees growing there.Although there are no leaves, there are many fruits hanging on the tree. They are not big, but they are yellowish and reddish, and they are already ripe.A few birds were standing on the tree, stretching out their beaks to eat the persimmons. From far away, Zhou Hang seemed to be able to smell the sweet fragrance of the pecked wild persimmons.

Persimmons have an astringent taste, and freshly picked persimmons often cannot be used immediately, and must undergo special treatment to remove the astringency.But the fruits that are still hanging on the trees in this season are long-ripe fruits, which have already lost their astringent taste in natural growth, and are more delicious than artificial ones.In modern times, Zhou Hang lived in the countryside for a period of time and ate persimmons covered by auspicious snow in the twelfth lunar month, which were very sweet and delicious.Seeing the persimmon tree here now, avoiding it brought back memories of many years ago, so I walked over, jumped and climbed on the tree, and picked several big and red ones.

He ate two by himself, and wiped the rest with a handkerchief, preparing it for Daiyu to eat later.

After Daiyu finished adjusting her breath, she opened her eyes and saw Zhou Hang looking silly at her, she couldn't help but frowned, and before she could speak, he spoke first.

"Yu'er, the wild persimmons I picked are very sweet, would you like to try them?"

The persimmons had been hung on the tree for several months, and after countless rounds of wind and rain, they were a little shriveled and shrunk, not so beautiful.Daiyu glanced at it, not quite believing that this ugly persimmon could be very sweet.

Seeming to see her doubts, Zhou Hang handed it forward again, "It's really sweet, if you don't believe me, try it!" As he said, he carefully peeled off the outer skin and put it to her mouth.

Daiyu reluctantly took a bite, her eyes widened involuntarily, and her eyebrows raised cheerfully.

Unexpectedly, this unremarkable persimmon is so sweet in the mouth, and the meat is soft after careful tasting, and the mouth becomes pulpy, with endless aftertaste.She has eaten good food, and when she thinks about it carefully, it can't even compare to a wild persimmon in this deep mountain and wild forest.

"How is it, isn't it very sweet?" Zhou Hang looked at him and asked with a smile.

"Yeah!" Daiyu nodded, looking at the persimmon in Zhou Hang's hand, implying that she still wanted to eat it.Zhou Hang was secretly happy for a while, and stuffed the leftover half of Daiyu's persimmon into his mouth in one gulp, so angry that Daiyu kicked him, turned his head and let out a "hum", and was about to get up and walk away, and handed it to him early. Here is a round persimmon with a yellow-orange-orange peel.

Daiyu pushed his hand away and said: "Don't dare to bother His Royal Highness, I have some myself, and I will pick them myself if I want to eat."

It was only then that Zhou Hang realized that he seemed to have annoyed someone, so he hurried over to act coquettishly and flick his tail to coax him down.He didn't dare to let Daiyu pick the fruit by himself, he hurriedly climbed up to pick a lot, and then he was busy serving people to eat.

Daiyu looked at his pissed-off look, and couldn't help lowering her eyes and smiling.

Unfortunately, Zhou Hang was busy peeling persimmons, so he didn't see it.

Seeing the persimmon handed to her mouth again, Daiyu waved her hand and said, "I'm full, I don't want to eat." She got up and patted the soil on her body, pointing to one of the persimmon trees, "After a while, take that tree Move it into the space." From now on, you can eat this sweet and delicious persimmon anytime and anywhere.

Zhou Hang: "..." The persimmon in his hand "Bada" fell to the ground.

If I knew I was going to be transplanted, I still struggled to pick so many and what to do.

While speaking, a white shadow flew past her eyes, and Daiyu exclaimed, "Rabbit! Rabbit!!"

Zhou Hang: "Where is it?"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a white rabbit that was moving extremely fast. The whole body was snow-white, only the hairless ear sockets and the eyeballs were red.Daiyu was a little excited, maybe it was the first time she saw a wild rabbit, she stomped her feet and said, "Grab it, Brother Hang, grab it quickly!"

So Zhou Hang shot out like an arrow before he had time to think about it. After walking a long way, he couldn't help muttering to himself: What does it look like for my majestic crown prince to run after a rabbit with bare hands and feet? It's not hunting. Hunting is not walking, but riding. On a steed.

The four-legged rabbit runs extremely fast and is very cunning. It only goes to the thorns to drill through the bushes. Zhou Hang often has to go around, and it is very difficult to chase with two legs.When it was finally caught, he sat down on the ground holding the rabbit ears.

The rabbit kicked around anxiously, opened its mouth to bite, and stared at him with blood-red eyes.

Zhou Hang put its two hind legs together and held it in the palm of his hand, and held the ear with the other hand. With both hands, he almost pulled the rabbit into a straight line. .

So, he went to ask for credit.

When Daiyu saw it, she blamed him for being too rude to the little rabbit.

"Such a cute little animal, how could you bear to treat it like that?" She looked at the little rabbit with pity and love in her eyes, and when she looked up at him, her eyes were full of accusations.Zhou Hang was a little depressed, and secretly made a note of this little brat.

Reappearing in the space, with Zhou Hang carrying a tree on his shoulders and Daiyu holding a little rabbit in his arms, Lin Ruhai was a little dazed, this style of painting was really unexpected.However, he was just stunned for a moment, and quickly remembered the business.

"What's up?" he asked.

Naturally, what he asked was whether the supplies in the cave warehouse had been collected, if there would be trouble when they came out, and so on.

Daiyu said: "Dad, don't worry, everything is going well."

Lin Ruhai continued to ask: "Aren't you all injured?"

After getting an affirmative answer, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked about the persimmon tree and the rabbit, and Daiyu gave him a brief explanation.Zhou Hang has found an open space and plans to transplant the persimmon tree there.He was digging a hole, and the persimmon tree was placed on the ground beside him. Daiyu walked over and inspected the fruits still hanging on it, and picked two big ones for Lin Ruhai to taste.

Lin Ruhai ate three persimmons before stopping. He took the teacup Daiyu brought and drank tea slowly. After Zhou Hang dug the hole, he buried the persimmon tree in the hole, sealed it with soil, poured water on it, and patted his body. I was about to call Daiyu to come over to see if it was planted straight, but when I turned around, Daiyu was no longer around, and then I saw that not far away, father and daughter were sitting and playing chess.

Well, the father and daughter are leisurely!

Walking over, Lin Ruhai raised his head and smiled kindly: "Your Highness has worked hard, please sit down and rest."

Zhou Hang took a look, Lin Ruhai and Daiyu sat facing each other on a felt, with a chessboard in the middle.According to his wishes, he would naturally sit next to Daiyu, but beside Lin Ruhai, it's better not to covet her daughter so much.So, after being stunned for a moment, he walked over to Lin Ruhai and sat down.

Daiyu poured him a cup of tea: "Brother Hang is tired, hurry up and have a cup of tea."

She told Zhou Hang that she and Lin Ruhai originally wanted to help, but wandering around for a while, seeing him digging holes and lifting water in an orderly manner, they seemed redundant and didn't know what to do. Simply walked away.

Zhou Hang: "..."

Well, it seems really inappropriate for an ancient scholar-bureaucrat and aristocratic lady to plant trees and dig pits.

"Brother Hang, have you planted trees before?" Daiyu asked.

She seemed to have asked a superfluous question. Seeing Zhou Hang's proficiency, he must have planted it before.But according to what Zhou Hang said, in the world he used to live in, his family was considered extremely rich, so couldn't they afford servants?Rough work like planting trees requires the owner to do it himself...

Zhou Hang didn't know what was going on in her mind, so he nodded naturally and said, "I've planted it before."

Every year on Arbor Day, his mother would take him to the suburbs to plant a tree.It is said that it started every year since he was born. Of course, he couldn't take on this arduous task when he couldn't walk, and his mother planted it for him.When he left, there were sixteen trees, and he could hardly hold the biggest one by himself.

Daiyu bowed her head, it turned out that Brother Hang had such a hard life in the past...

Next, the three of them sorted out the supplies brought in so that they didn't look so messy, and then set off for Shan County.

When they arrived in Shan County, Lin Ruhai revealed his identity and parted ways.

Since most of the imperial guards were beheaded in the attack, and most of the rest were injured, Lin Ruhai was escorted to Shandong with 200 people personally led by the captain of the Tunqi school.This Tuen cavalry captain is the captain Zhang who had a drink with Lin Ruhai and Zhou Hang at the Shanxian restaurant that day.His full name is Zhang Shoujia, he is the confidant of General Gao Wei, and Gao Wei is Li Xu's confidant and favorite general, so Zhang Shoujia can also be regarded as Li Xu's person.Before Lin Ruhai left, he carried Li Xu's warrant, Zhang Shoujia treated Lin Ruhai very respectfully as if he had obtained the imperial edict.

As for Daiyu and Zhou Hang, they set off for the front line—Rongguo Pearl City.

They originally thought about finding the training ground of the rebels behind them first, but considering the shortage of supplies on the front line, how many soldiers would die in vain one day later, they decided to send the things there first, and talk about the rest later.

It is more than two hundred miles from Shan County to the border city, but it is a full [-] miles from the border city to Mingzhu City.On the way, there are rugged hills, grasslands, Gobi Desert, and deserts. It takes more than ten days to ride a BMW horse that is known as a thousand miles a day.

The grassland stretches as far as the eye can see, because it is winter, the grass color is dark yellow, and it is low to the ground, without the vitality of summer.On this vast land, two steeds are galloping fast. The two horses are one in front of the other, with a distance of almost half a horse's body. Add some color to this lonely grassland at once.Upon closer inspection, the two horses have slender limbs, thin heads and long necks, fine and thin hair, light steps, and extremely fast speeds. They are actually bloody horses!

Sweaty horses are extremely rare, and they were donated by a small country in the west. There are only two horses a year, and even the imperial stables in the capital have only eight horses in total. The emperor gave four of them to Zhou Hang.Zhou Hang has been raising it in the space all the time, and it is naturally well-raised. It is stronger than ordinary hard-blooded horses, and its speed and endurance are stronger.
