In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the 29th. For the first time in history, Tang Shou didn't sleep in and got up early.Even so, when he woke up, Xiong Zhuangshan was up for a long time.He huddled under the covers and was unwilling to get up, but when he thought that today was the 29th of the twelfth lunar month and there were still many things waiting for him at home, he had no choice but to get up.

Yu Chao still attaches great importance to the New Year's Day, unlike the New Year's Day in later generations, it is basically useless, the ceremony is over, and the only remaining family reunion is still a good look forward to.

At this time, Yu Chao was still strictly abiding by the ancient etiquette, and came step by step.

On the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Xiaonian, Lord Stove goes to heaven.On this day, every household will take off the picture of the Stove Lord and burn it, implying to send the Stove Lord to heaven.Legend has it that when the Stove Lord arrives in the sky, he will report to the Jade Emperor the merits and demerits of the year in the world, and the Jade Emperor will reward the meritorious deeds and punish those who made mistakes.So many people will make a lot of delicious food offerings on this day, in order to stop the mouth of the Stove Lord, so that he will not participate in his own one when he arrives in the heaven.

On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, sweep the house and remove dust.

On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, grind the mill to make tofu.On this day, the Jade Emperor will come to the mortal world to eat bean dregs to show his poverty.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, pigs are slaughtered to cut the meat of the new year.

On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, slaughter chickens and go to the market.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, peach charms were inscribed.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, go to the grave and ask your ancestors to make a big offering.

Tang Shou had to get up to prepare things for ancestor worship, and he had to go to the grave with the Xiong family. As the new husband of the Xiong family, he not only had to be there in the first year, but he would also be an important person.Because he and Xiong Zhuangshan have no children yet, according to ancient rituals, they need to pray in front of their ancestors' graves, asking their ancestors to bless them and give them a healthy and smart child.There are people who want a boy in particular, and they will tell their ancestors at this time.

Regarding this, Tang Qin just wanted to hehe, and didn't know if the ancestors of the Xiong family were alive or not. If they knew that the new husband of the Xiong family was a ghost like them, would they be so angry that they would jump out of the ancestral grave.

But no matter what, Xiong Zhuangshan is still very concerned about this day. He told him a long time ago that such a person who does not write ink has repeatedly mentioned in his ears, asking him to pray sincerely and give birth to a big fat baby for him. Be a father now.

Regardless of Tang Shou's own attitude for the time being, it is still necessary to coax Xiong Zhuangshan to have a happy New Year.

When Xiong Zhuangshan entered the house, he saw his little husband, rubbing his eyes, covered with a quilt, half sitting and half lying down, his eyes dim.

Xiong Zhuangshan hurriedly turned around and closed the door, Tang Shou was not covered tightly with the quilt, don't let the wind blow to him.Then he eased the air-conditioning on his body, and then strode in, and pulled out the warm clothes from under the quilt.

"Erlang, have you finished your work outside?"

"I got up early and finished my work. There is a lot of work in the house today, so I just help you with the house." Xiong Zhuangshan was talking while dressing Tang Shou. "Thanks a lot."

Tang Shou, a 24-year-old man, was dressed like a four-year-old child, and his face flushed with embarrassment.

"I, I'll do it myself." Tang Shou's sleepiness disappeared, and he stammered embarrassingly.

Xiong Zhuangshan continued to move his hand as if he didn't hear it, "Raise your hand."

Tang Shou obediently raised his hand and told him to stretch his legs, so he stretched his legs, and finally put on his clothes before his whole body was covered in smoke.

After putting on his clothes, he was completely awake, and he couldn't wake up again.

His face was blushing and his heart was pounding like a patient with a heart attack. He didn't dare to look up at Xiong Zhuangshan's face, but felt that face made him particularly shy today.

"I, I'm going to steam the noodles I made yesterday."

Looking at the back of Fu Lang fleeing in a panic, Xiong Zhuangshan smiled lightly on his usually expressionless face.He flicked his fingers and looked down, there was still Fulang's warmth and smooth touch on them, so easy to touch.

Fleeing into the kitchen, Tang Shou patted his cheeks, trying to drive away the burning temperature. After a while, his mind cleared up, and he turned his head to wash.

There was a fire on the stove, and a pot of boiling water was boiled.Since the house has a heated kang, the first thing Xiong Zhuangshan does when he gets up is to boil the kang and boil water. He is always afraid that the room will be cold and he will not have hot water to brush his teeth and wash his face when he gets up.

Tang Shou poured some cold water, and washed his face with water of a suitable temperature, thinking, no wonder many girls on the Internet are screaming, good men are going to stir up sex, and what kind of straight men are getting turned.He used to think that this kind of thing was unrealistic, how could a man who likes women be turned around.It wasn't until he came here and spent a little bit of hard work with Xiong Zhuangshan in the ordinary and difficult days that he realized that when a person sincerely treats another person well, gender is not so important in life.Fortunately, he is not from here, otherwise, he might have been softened by Xiong Zhuangshan.

After washing, he steamed the steamed buns. Because he wanted to worship his ancestors, he made the steamed buns into the shapes of various small animals, among which the rabbits were the most, either lying on their stomachs, sitting or lying down, and two huddled together. .

Tang Shou cooked a few more meat dishes. Seeing a lot of pork skin in the cellar, he wanted to make skin jelly.

Xiong Zhuangshan finished folding the quilt, cleaned up, and when he came in, he saw Tang Shou holding a large piece of pork rind in his hand.

"You want to eat meat skin? Give it to me, I'll clean it first."

Xiong Zhuangshan is a butcher, he is very authentic in doing this.Soak the pork skin thoroughly in boiling water, take it out, and scrape off the fine hairs.After a set of operations, it is only a blink of an eye.

"Erlang, how do you usually eat meat skin?"

Xiong Zhuangshan said casually: "It's okay to stew with meat."

"Reckless waste. Look at me making you a crystal kebab, and you know that you were blinded by eating pork rinds in the past."

"Yeah. Ever since I got Fulang, I know I've been blind."

This... How did Xiong Zhuangshan become a greasy old driver, flirting at the slightest disagreement, which is completely inconsistent with his previous persona, if it weren't for this big stupid bear who would come out with that machete from time to time to scare people, and he was quite fierce With such a strong waist, he would suspect that this big stupid bear was pierced by someone just like himself.

Thinking of this, Tang Shou couldn't help glancing at Xiong Zhuangshan's waist.Strong, powerful, can make people want to stop, want to die... stop, stop, think about it, it will be restricted.

However, this big stupid bear is able to touch his heart every time, and it doesn't make him feel greasy at all, on the contrary... I really like it.

Just as Tang Shou prepared the food for ancestor worship, the Xiong family arrived there. Although the family did not live together, they could not go to the grave separately.Tang Shou packed up his things, and the two families went out to the gate together.

The cold winter wind blew through the bones, hitting his face with burning pain, making Tang Shou shiver all over from the cold.

"Aren't you wearing a wolf fur vest?" Xiong Zhuangshan asked.

"No, I forgot." Tang Shou said in a crying voice.

"I'll go back and get it now."

"Farewell, it's all out of the village."

"It's okay, I'm fast, I can catch up with you before you arrive." Xiong Zhuangshan stuffed something in his hand to Tang Shou, turned around and left.

Aunt Xiong was genuinely envious, but she never thought that Saburo, the most unfavorable and vicious son of the Xiong family, would actually love his wife the most after getting married.

Xiong Dalang secretly glanced at his aunt, seeing that he was not paying attention, he quickly reached out and hooked Mrs. Xiong.Mrs. Xiong's face turned red, and she struggled lightly a couple of times, but she didn't break free, so she let him go.But it was sweet in my heart. Her Dalang was actually pretty good.Xiong Tie slowly approached, and whispered in Mrs. Xiong's ear: "Next year when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, Erlang is going up the mountain. I will follow. If you can't hunt wolf skins, I will hunt you for a goat skin. Make a leather coat to keep you warm." .”

Mrs. Xiong hurriedly said: "I don't want it, it's so dangerous to go up the mountain, you are not allowed to go."

Xiong Tiehan smiled and didn't say no.

The two of them thought they were sneaking, but they didn't know that they all fell into the eyes of the bear mother.Her three sons didn't know who they followed, they all loved their wives, and none of them were like their elm bumpy father.

When Xiong Zhuangshan chased them back, they happened to walk into the field.

"Here, just wear it outside."

The wolf skin was obtained by Xiong Zhuangshan before Tang Shou came, so the vest was naturally made according to Xiong Zhuangshan's size.Xiong Zhuangshan's sturdy physique can completely cover Tang Shou, so even if Tang Shou is wearing a thick cotton coat, he can still cover it outside.

Although it is only a vest, but because it is made of leather, it can block a lot of wind and cold.

At this time, farmers are usually buried in their own land after death. Except for those who came later, there is no ancestral grave, otherwise, after several generations, there will be ancestral graves.Mother Xiong lit oil lamps, placed tributes, and burned paper money at the grave, and then bowed down one by one.

First came Father Xiong and Mother Xiong, and then Dalang. When they arrived at Xiong Zhuang Mountain and Tang Shou, Mother Xiong hurriedly said: "You two should be sincere and pray in your heart. Our ancestors are very spiritual and will definitely bless you two. Can give me a big fat grandson."

Tang Shou: "..."

He didn't dare to think about anything, after all, it was in front of the ancestor's grave of the Xiong family, but Xiong Zhuangshan was very pious, and Tang Shoucong had never seen that kind of pious attitude.

After the three worships, Mother Bear smiled and said: "Bless my ancestors, let my second husband give me a fat grandson this year."

After Mother Xiong finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew up on the ground, and a piece of rough yellow paper slammed onto the face of Tang Shou who was getting up.

Tang Shou: "..."

Mother Bear: "..."

Not to mention that the ancestor of the Xiong family is quite accurate, knowing that he is not born, first smeared him.

Xiong Zhuangshan was the first to react. He quickly took off the burnt paper from Tang Shou's face, protected Tang Shou in his arms, and said, "This is my husband. What are you doing?"

Tang Shou poked his head out of Xiong Zhuangshan's arms, made sure there was no supernatural event, and tugged at Xiong Zhuangshan's sleeve, "Well, this is your ancestor."

"Well, then you are also my husband, and you will always be my husband." Xiong Zhuangshan said domineeringly: "It's useless for anyone to object."

"..." Tang Shou.

After they left, some people went through Xiong's field to their own field one after another.

Someone saw the Xiong family's steamed buns when they went to the grave and said, "Look, the Xiong family's steamed buns are made in the shape of rabbits."

The other lady covered her mouth and laughed, "It must have been done by that little husband from Xiong Butcher's family."

"how do you know?"

"Guess. Rabbit, Lord Rabbit..."

A burst of brisk laughter floated by, and the little lady was vaguely heard saying: "Mr. Xiong has a heart, and he still doesn't forget to please his ancestors at this time."

The gloomy wind from the Xiong family's ancestral grave was blowing again, and the wind was blowing in the direction of those bunny buns, but after blowing for a long time, they didn't move at all.As if exhausted, the sinister wind stopped resignedly.

Back in the village, Mother Xiong asked Xiong Zhuangshan to go home for the New Year again, but Xiong Zhuangshan shook his head and refused.

After this episode, Tang Shou didn't take it seriously, but Xiong Zhuangshan showed strong uneasiness, as if he was back when he first came in, walking step by step, wishing to become one with him.

Tang Shou said helplessly: "Erlang, it's all a coincidence. How can there be any ghosts in this world?"

Xiong Zhuangshan stared at Tang Shou with complicated eyes, there was something deep churning inside, which Tang Shou couldn't understand.Xiong Zhuangshan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.

"Aw... ow... woof woof..." Suddenly, there was a clear sound of dog barking.The barking of the dog was full of pain, very miserable.

"Whose dog was hurt?"

Xiong Zhuangshan couldn't hear any other movement, only the dog's screams became weaker and weaker, and it sounded like he was seriously injured.

"I'll go out and have a look. Don't go out while you're at home." Xiong Zhuangshan pulled out his bow and arrows for hunting and carried them on his back, and then raised the sharp machete by the door.

The dogs in the village are all authentic small native dogs. Our Chinese native dogs are not like pet dogs imported from foreign countries, they are mainly cute.They take care of the home and nursery, and they are very humane.At night, it never barks, causing restlessness.Unless there is something, is there a beast coming down from the mountain.

Tang Shou suddenly looked serious, and he was about to follow Xiong Zhuangshan out with his clothes on.

"No, I don't trust you alone."

Xiong Zhuangshan couldn't resist Tang Shou, so he warned: "I don't sound like any other beasts, it seems that it's just a dog that was injured, but it's better to be careful, let's take a look from a distance, if there is anything else, come back and call the villagers .”

"it is good."

The two lit a torch each, and searched for the sound.

Three miles away from the back mountain, I saw two dog-like livestock from a distance, one lying on the ground on its side, howling mournfully, in great pain.The other circled anxiously around it, occasionally stopping to lick it or two, as if licking his wounds.

Tang Shou wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Xiong Zhuangshan.

Tang Shou wondered: "What's the matter, it should be that two dogs of someone in the village were injured."

Xiong Zhuangshan said: "No, the one lying on the ground is just a dog, surrounded by wolves."

The wolf can't bark, but the one lying on the ground can bark when it's in pain.The other one was circling around it, and it didn't bark from the beginning to the end, only heard it whine softly.

As if in response to Xiong Zhuangshan's words, the thing that kept turning back and forth suddenly raised its head and looked in their direction. Tang Shou saw its eyes glowing green.

"It's... a wolf, it's really a wolf." Tang Shou jumped into Xiong Zhuangshan's arms in fright. Xiong Zhuangshan surrounded him very calmly. bow and arrow. "Don't be afraid, I've killed a big worm before, let alone a lone wolf."

He had just put on the bow and arrow when suddenly the wolf bent its front legs, as if kneeling down to worship them.

Xiong Zhuangshan stopped pulling the bow and did not move, "It is asking us for help."

"what?"

"Some beasts on the mountain are spiritual. I encountered them when I joined the army and went on missions to lurk in the mountains."

"Then what should we do? Can we save it?"

"Wait and see, see if the wolf walks away."

The kneeling wolf seemed to know what Xiong Zhuangshan and the others were worried about. After paying homage to them, he got up and licked the wolf dog on the ground with nostalgia. The injured wolf dog let out a whining sound, and the wolf looked at him reluctantly for the last time, then turned around and ran away at a fast speed. After entering the back mountain, there was no shadow after a while, and the two eyes with green light disappeared.

Xiong Zhuangshan said cautiously: "Let's wait."

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see the pair of green wolf eyes, only the wolf dog on the ground was struggling and whining in pain.Only then did Xiong Zhuangshan lead Tang Shou in slowly, and after making sure that there was nothing else near the wolfdog, Xiong Zhuangshan lowered his head to check the wound on its body.

The wolf dog was seriously injured. It must have fought with other wolves. Its entire back was bitten without a piece of intact skin. There were a few teeth marks on its legs where the bones were deep, and the most serious one was its stomach. Torn a hole.

It lay on the ground, whining one after another.

Xiong Zhuangshan quickly took off his coat, wrapped the wolf dog up, and carried him home.

He always has hemostatic powder and trauma medicine at home. This is Xiong Zhuangshan's habit. He was always injured when he joined the army, and gradually some of the necessary trauma medicine will not leave his body.After retiring and returning home, he often went hunting in the mountains and suffered minor injuries. He was impatient to ask a doctor, so he prepared a lot of medicine at home.

At this moment, Xiong Zhuangshan was not stingy, he took out the wound medicine and poured it all on the wolf dog's wound.Tang Shou took the needle and thread, burned the needle and thread with an oil lamp, and soaked in wine, planning to sew up the wound on the wolfhound's belly.

Xiong Zhuangshan was afraid that it would hurt and bite people, so he tied the dog's mouth with a thick hemp rope.The dog seemed to know that people were saving it and did not resist.

Xiong Zhuangshan and Tang Shou couldn't do needlework, let alone doctors, so they couldn't sew up wounds.Before and after the stitches, Tang Shou used wine to disinfect the wolfdog.I just don't know if the cheap wine from his family can be useful to shut down the alcohol of later generations. After everything that needs to be done is done, the rest of Tang Shou and Xiong Zhuangshan can't do anything, and the medical level here has no other way.

The sound of the wolfdog being tossed was so weak that it could not be heard, and it seemed sad that it would die at any time.

"Sleep, it's too late."

Tang Shou glanced at the dog and asked, "Can it survive?"

"Maybe, maybe not. But livestock are stronger than humans. They don't know medicine and can survive injuries. Now we have medicine for their injuries, and there is still hope for them."

Tang Shou nodded, and the two fell asleep.But no one dared to untie the rope tied to the dog's mouth.
