After coming out of Tian Youcheng's restaurant, a few people simply unloaded the horses and sledges in the area.
Meng Zhaohua's brother-in-law and another driver were in other villages, and they had to get a convoy to deliver the car. The delay was too big, so Lu Lu asked a few people to unload the horses and sledges from their cars. The car was empty, so there was no need.
Let them follow him on a trip to Xiushantun.
The remaining furs, meat and fish of the prey are all in Meng Zhaohua's car. He can just drive them to Lu Lu's Caodianzi.
After they separated, Meng Zhaohua drove the car and left first, while Lu Lu and others hitched the horses to the sledge and hurried back all the way.
Before dark, several people arrived at Lu Lu's meadow. Chen Xiuyu had already been holding her child at the fork in the road.
As soon as Lu Lu saw the two of them, he immediately jumped out of the carriage and said, "Daughter-in-law, I'm back!"
Then, he walked around in front of Chen Xiuyu and said, "No injury."
Chen Xiuyu was immediately laughed at when she saw Lu Lu's somewhat naughty look.
Lu Lu also smiled, and in front of Zhang Shaofeng and others, he did not shy away from it. He stepped forward and hugged Chen Xiuyu, then wrapped the roe deer skin mattress and slept soundly. The child who had grown up a lot took it over.
.
Zhang Shaofeng and others were already used to this scene.
When the child is in your arms, of course you have to kiss it.
Lu Lu was about to kiss the child's little face. Unexpectedly, the little guy woke up at this moment. He looked at Lu Lu motionless with his big eyes. Then, with a grin on his face, he started to cry loudly.
He was stunned for a moment and hurriedly patted the child: "Oh... oh... good baby, daddy is back..."
Who knows, after he coaxed her for more than two minutes, the child showed no sign of stopping crying, and instead cried more and more fiercely.
The weather was too cold, and crying with his mouth open like this would make him fall ill easily, so Lu Lu had no way to deal with him for a while.
"Look at you, you've been out for a month and you've become a 'savage' again. The child may not recognize you and is acting like this because he's scared!"
Chen Xiuyu hurriedly took the child and shook it gently. As a result, the little guy quickly stopped.
Seeing this, Lu Lu couldn't help but grin: "You little brat, even if you are recognizing my birth date, you shouldn't treat me as a stranger. How can you not remember me?"
"You should take good care of yourself and change your clothes when you go back in the evening, and you should be fine. Otherwise, the fishy smell on your body right now, I'm afraid even the children won't be able to stand it." Chen Xiuyu said with a smile.
Lu Lu thought it made sense. He had been covering his head for a month. He nodded slightly and called a few people to go to Caodianzi.
There are so many things that need to be unloaded from the car, and it would be impossible without the help of Zhang Shaofeng and others.
A group of people arrived at Caodianzi and carried the fish that Lu Lu planned to keep one bag after another into Lu Lu's yard, and put the furs into the ground. These things were already frozen and had to be put on the ground.
Light a fire in the pot, let the temperature inside slowly thaw, and then you can do things like shoveling oil, cleaning, and stretching the frame.
As for the remaining meat, Lu Lu took some venison, gray dog and bear meat, and also kept the wolf and badger meat used for cooking oil. The rest was sent to Xiushantun by Zhang Shaofeng and others on sledges.
, after leaving what they each wanted, the others were picked up by the people on the farm, and the rest was distributed to the people in the village, including the fish.
"Have a good rest tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then deal with the fur. Of course, please share the things with everyone."
Relationships still need to be maintained.
Zhang Shaofeng, Chen Xiuqing and Lei Meng left with their things. Meng Zhaohua also drove away in a car. Only then did Zhao Yongke take the fish and meat he selected and drive home on a sledge.
Before leaving, Zhao Yongke looked back at Lu Lu: "Lao Wu, I feel that you have always been worried in the past few days since we came back. Is something wrong?"
Lu Lu was stunned for a moment, a little confused: "Is everything okay?"
He glanced at Chen Xiuyu, pulled Lu Lu aside, and said in a low voice: "In the past few days, when I was watching at night, I heard you talking in your sleep, shouting that you wanted to kill someone, and you would grab a gun even when you were asleep. Also,
Even in the past few days, I see that you talk less than usual. Do you have something on your mind or have encountered some difficulties? Let me tell you and see if I can help you."
Hearing this, Lu Lu's heart shook violently: "I can't remember having such a dream!"
Lu Lu did not have such an impression, but when he heard Zhao Yongke's words, he was shocked.
As the saying goes, what you think about every day is what you dream about at night. These days, he has been thinking about Qi Wenkai a lot. For Lu Lu, this is a nightmare.
How could I even dream about holding a gun... This is too dangerous!
Is it because of Qi Wenkai?
He smiled at Zhao Yongke: "Perhaps I have been too mentally stressed during this period. I should be fine after just two days of rest."
Zhao Yongke nodded slightly, reached out and patted Lu Lu on the shoulder: "Have a good rest!" After saying that, he drove the sledge towards the fence gate.
Lu Lu sent him to the door and watched him walk away along the hillside beside the fence to the ridge. Then he closed the gate of the fence and put his arms around Chen Xiuyu who was following him back to the house.
"Huh... Yanzi and the godmother are not here?" After Lu Lu returned to the house, he saw that Wang Yan and Aunt Duan who were supposed to accompany Chen Xiuyu at home were not there, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Meng Zhaohua returned to Caodianzi first. When I heard that you were all back, Aunt Duan and Yanzi made an appointment to go back first." Chen Xiuyu's face turned red when she said this.
How could Lu Lu not understand the meaning of this? They clearly wanted to leave space for Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu.
Besides, Chen Xiuqing is back, Wang Yan must also want to.
"You rest first, I'll go to the kitchen to boil water for you to take a bath!"
Chen Xiuyu said and stuffed the child into Lu Lu's arms.
Just like at the fork in the road, as soon as Lu Lu hugged him, the little kid started crying again.
It's still the same as before, no matter how much Lu Lu coaxes him, he won't behave.
Chen Xiuyu lit the fire in the kitchen, added water to the large iron pot, and then hurriedly came out, took the child over, coaxed her for a while, and then stopped.
Lu Lu felt a little depressed.
Even in the deep mountains, he was always thinking about his child. He didn't expect that when he got home, he wouldn't even be allowed to hold him.
Inexplicably, he suddenly began to feel irritable.
If she had known that Lu Lu and others had already eaten in a restaurant in the district, Chen Xiuyu didn't ask any questions. She just made a cup of honey water for Lu Lu, then laid the child on the kang, pulled up the mattress and covered it, and then went to give Lu Lu a cup of honey water.
Lu prepared clothes and also picked up a fur coat.
"I asked sister-in-law Unakan to make this coat after you went up the mountain." Chen Xiuyu picked up the coat and unfolded it in front of Lu Lu.
"Haven't those furs been sold to the buying station by me? Where did you get the furs?" Lu Lu asked a little strangely.
"Of course I hid it secretly. I kept the furs of the two blind bears I tied. You are allowed to give the good ones to us two, but you are not allowed to prepare some good ones for you too? This bearskin coat
, warmer than roe deer skin!”
Chen Xiuyu put the coat on the kang and covered it with the warmth of the fire: "I also asked sister-in-law Unakan to use the remaining bearskin to make one for the child. His is larger and can be worn until he is ten years old.
.”
Looking at this daughter-in-law who was surrounding him everywhere, Lu Lu couldn't help but put his arms around her waist, pulled her to the kang, rested his head on her chest, closed his eyes, and felt the warmth of this moment, and his irritable mood disappeared.
It became a lot quieter after that.
Half an hour later, the hot water in the large iron pot in the kitchen had boiled. Lu Lu got up, carried buckets of boiling water to the bathroom, poured it into the cedar wood bathtub, and then pressed two buckets of cold water from the kitchen well into the bathroom.
I got into the tub, quickly took off my clothes, tested the temperature of the water which was still a bit wet, and went straight into the tub to soak.
Taking a bath on a cold day is definitely a very comfortable thing.
Sitting motionless in the tub, after adapting to the water temperature, Lu Lu closed his eyes and soaked quietly, feeling the temperature of the water that enveloped his whole body and seemed to penetrate his buttocks, and then smelled the fragrance of cedar wood.
, he felt like he didn’t want to come out once he got in.
Chen Xiuyu breastfed the baby outside. The little one ate and drank enough. After pooping and peeing, he quickly fell asleep.
Seeing that there was no movement in the bathroom for such a long time, she went over and saw that Lu Lu had fallen asleep directly in the bathtub. She stretched out her hand to check the water temperature, but it was only warm.
She quickly picked up some more hot water from the iron pot and added it to the tub.
At this moment, Lu Lu suddenly stood up and grabbed everywhere with his backhand: "Gun... where is my gun?"
"Brother Lu...Brother Lu..."
Chen Xiuyu was startled by Lu Lu's sudden move. She quickly grabbed his hand that was grabbing everywhere and shouted repeatedly.
Hearing the shouting, Lu Lu's blurred eyes gradually regained their clarity.
"Brother Lu, what's wrong with you? You're still looking for a gun while you're in the bath!" Chen Xiuyu's worry was written all over her face.
At this moment, Lu Lu truly realized that something was really wrong with him.
Just now, he fell asleep without realizing it, and his mind was filled with nightmares about the wild animals being hunted and the people who died under his own hands.
But in the dream, both humans and prey were alive and chasing Lu Lu, getting closer and closer.
In the dream, Lu Lu was looking for his semi-automatic, reaching out and touching everywhere, thinking that as long as he had a gun, he could kill them all, but unfortunately, he found nothing.
This time, he was suddenly woken up by Chen Xiuyu, and he remembered the dream clearly.
Zhao Yongke said it had happened twice before, which seems to be true at all.
"Why do you have such a dream? Those people deserve to die!"
Lu Lu asked himself, he really couldn't understand.
After taking a few long breaths to calm down the heart that was still pounding due to nervousness, he sat down in the tub again and looked up at Chen Xiuyu: "Maybe I'm tired!"
"Then take a shower quickly and have a good rest on the kang!"
Chen Xiuyu took soap and helped Lu Lu wash her hair and rub her back.
It took more than ten minutes for Lu Lu to clean up. Chen Xiuyu also kindly found a razor and helped shave.
When Lu Lu came out, he was shocked by the cold air outside and couldn't help but shiver.
It was comfortable while soaking, but once I got out of the bathtub, I still felt uncomfortable. I always felt that the bathtub was not as comfortable as expected, even though Chen Xiuyu had specially prepared two braziers in the bathroom.
He quickly took a towel and wiped off the water drops on his hair and body, put on the clothes Chen Xiuyu gave him, and carried the two braziers to the kitchen. With the warmth from the two braziers and the stove fire, he finally felt a little more comfortable.
.
After my hair was dry, I went to the bedroom and got into the warm mattress.
Chen Xiuyu had already laid down first. After Lu Lu got on the kang, she took Lu Lu's arm to support her. She huddled in Lu Lu's arms, and her little hands immediately became restless.
