Chapter 4: The Soul (3)

Yun Yi's innocence looked at Yun Cheng and just smirked, revealing the innocence of a child. Yun Cheng didn't say anything when he saw this, gently stroked Yun Yi's black hair, then stood up and walked to the tree to pick up the dagger. He walked over to the black bear and stabbed it in the head a few more times before putting the dagger back into the dagger at his waist. Reflexively grabbed the front and back paws of the black bear, propped up with a horse-step eight-pack abs, and carried the black bear on his shoulders.

A black bear of five hundred catties is nothing to a big hunter, Yun Cheng shook his body and saw that Yun Yi was packing his bags. Take a light breath: Baby, help Daddy get the bow, let's go back.

Yun Yi heard his father summon himself to this father: Hmm.

After a day's journey, the father and son walked and rested the next morning, and finally walked out of the forest, and came to a stop at the arched bridge on the west side of the village. This is the place where he often sells animal hunts, because it is a wild product and the main north-south road. There are a few cottages and merchants in the vicinity, and some big families even come to his stall to buy some back.

The guardrail on the arch bridge can be tied to the big trees on the side to facilitate the hanging of wild goods, and the crystal clear stream under the bridge moistens the fertile soil, which is also convenient for busy cleaning. Since it is the end of the village, there is no need to worry about the smell of fishy and heavy smell to bring discomfort to the villagers. Yun Cheng put down the black bear and walked to the side to bring an old long table, the table rolled up its sleeves and began to skin the black bear.

Yun Yi ran up and down with a golden one-foot gourd, fetching water to wash the sediment on the long table. At this time, as soon as the sky was light, a group of people set up stalls on the road near the creek, waiting for the number of merchants from the nearby villages to pass by. With a lot of effort, the 500-pound black bear was skinned and deboned, and then disassembled and hung on the hemp rope beside him on the long table.

Yun Cheng was a rough man, still holding a knife in his hand, and the blood in his hand wiped the sweat beads on his head with the clothes he picked up. Finally, before dawn, the 500-pound black bear was divided into more than a dozen pieces of fresh meat.

With the sprinkling of golden sunlight, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, and Yun Cheng looked at Yun Yi on the side, and his two little hands were also busy. Put the knife down and wipe your hands with a sackcloth: "Son, go wash your hands, Daddy will give you a copper coin, you go buy a bowl of noodle soup to eat this morning, Daddy will go back after selling the meat." After speaking, he took out a copper coin and handed it to Yun Yi, touched Yun Yi's little hand and picked up the black bear bones and internal organs.

Yun Yi nodded, went down the pebbles to the stream to wash, and when he came up, he said hello to Yun Cheng, and disappeared into the flow of people. Yun Cheng looked at the child's back with a sweet smile on his face, compared to last night, it is true that the safety of the father and son is the most important thing, not to mention hunting such a big wild car.

A delicate voice came into Yun Cheng's ears.

Yun Cheng turned around, and a middle-aged woman dressed in flowers and heavy makeup, holding an oval screen fan in her hand and a small basket woven of vines in one hand, was looking at Yun Cheng.

Yun Cheng smiled: It turned out to be the second sister-in-law! Yes, it was the black bear that was just beaten last night! I'll put a piece for you, and as he spoke, he cut off a large piece with a knife and wrapped it in lotus leaves.

The second sister-in-law sighed lightly: Yun Cheng! It's not that the second sister-in-law said you, the widow Liu in the lower village has mentioned it to me a few times. People are young and beautiful, and they know how to needlework, simple and kind, looking at the clothes on your body, they don't even make up for it all day long.

Yun Cheng just went in and out of the ear, listening to it with a smile and ignoring it.

When the second sister-in-law saw this, she said: Hey, Yun Cheng, the second sister-in-law is worried about you! She is saying that no one is ashamed of you, and what is the shame of a man. Huahua has been dead for many years, you should let go a lot, you are a father and a mother to serve the children, look at Yun Yiku's busy with you all day long, and have time to play.

Yun Cheng packed the meat and handed it to the woman: Second sister-in-law, don't worry about me, I won't keep you if you're busy!

The second sister-in-law pouted: Okay, okay! I knew that it would be for you to tell you in vain, I heard that Yi'er was admitted to Dongling Academy? Is it true?

Yun Cheng laughed haha: Hmm!

The second sister-in-law packed the meat: Okay, win glory for our Yunxi Village, then you are busy, I still have to go shopping inside, and after speaking, I left two copper coins and left.

Yun Cheng took the copper coin: the second sister-in-law walked slowly.

The second sister-in-law replied before leaving: Think about what you will say, I am still waiting to reply to others.

Yun Cheng had no choice but to put the hard-earned copper coins into the money bag and got busy again. Busy morning market, busy people, laughter spread all over the streets and alleys, in the blink of an eye near noon.

Daddy, a clear and loud voice came from the crowd, and Yun Cheng was already resting under the big tree next to him at this time. After a busy night's worth of meat sales, he came back to his senses when he heard his son's call, and said with a smile: Good son, why did you come here?

Yun Yi jumped in front of Yun Cheng: Daddy, I gave you some sweet wine, and there are meatloaf, you can eat some quickly!

After a night of busyness, it is indeed a little tired to add a little oil and water to enter, Yuncheng touched the belly that had already been purring and purring: Hey, good son!

As soon as he took the gourd and meatloaf that Yun Yi was carrying, Yun Cheng felt that something was wrong. looked at Yun Yi: Son, where did you get the money to drink for your father?

Yun Yi smiled: I knew that my father would ask, when I went back, Grandpa Zhen was making dim sum with my grandmother, and I was going to go to the field to show my uncle the newly built house. When she saw me, she knew that I had definitely not eaten anything after accompanying my father into the mountains, so my grandmother specially bought a few meatloaf for me to send to my father. The wine was the copper coins my father gave in the morning plus the usual leftovers, so I made my own decision to get some grain wine for my father. Daddy, eat it! I cleaned up the stall, rolled up my sleeves and got busy.

Yun Cheng didn't ask much after hearing this, the warmth in his heart had already melted his tired and stiff body, and he was leaning against the tree pole while eating local specialty meatloaf and drinking sweet grain wine.

After a morning of sales, there was not much left of the five hundred catties of black bear meat, only a few dozen catties of scraps and the four thick black bear hooves that had been washed and cleaned. The crowds on the streets were not as dense as those in the previous morning market, and Yun Yi was still packing meat pieces for his neighbors to earn a little income.

After Yun Yi came, he sold six or seven points, and Yun Yi, who was busy, rushed to Yun Cheng with a copper coin in his hand: Daddy sold a few more points, we can close the stall!

Yun Cheng took the copper coin and said with a smile: Okay, good son, let's close the stall.

Yun Cheng got up and wrapped the remaining bits and pieces of meat, tied the four large bear paws with ropes, and was about to disassemble the rope behind him.

Shout, isn't this a black bear's paw, Xiao San took it back to mend the old man's body! A loud question came, Yun Cheng turned around and put down the work in his hand. I saw a handsome man in his early twenties dressed in a white cloak, standing in front of the stall and followed by a servant, leading two big red horses. Yun Yi recognized it at a glance, it turned out to be the second son of the Tang family in Xiacun, and the ancestors of the family were in business, so there were not many wealthy guests. Yun Cheng politely replied.

The young man said with a smile: Yun Hunting doesn't have to be polite, this black bear is rarely encountered, and it happened that Ben Shao encountered it today. The black bear paw was taken and taken back to mend the old man's body. After saying that, he threw out a white silver coin from his waist, and there was no need to look for it.

Yun Cheng took the silver coin and said with a smile: The second son is a filial son, and our fathers and elders are well known. Most of the Tang family's business is now handled by the second young man, and the villagers are even more appreciative of the second young man's reputation. As he spoke, he wrapped the black bear's paw with lotus leaves.

The boy smiled: Okay! Don't be a sycophant to the head hunter, the business is handled by the father and the eldest brother, and I am too lazy to take care of it. The man replied while looking at the fur next to the stall: Yes, this black bear skin is really good, the hair is fine, the leather is solid, and the scale is also large, it is the best choice for making high-quality fur, and I will pay ten silver coins for this fur.

Yun Cheng handed the black bear paw to the man's attendant, and hurriedly stepped forward: Second son, I'm really sorry this time, this bear skin can't be sold, and the next time I meet it, I'll keep it for you!

The boy looked at Yun Cheng: What, am I giving less money? I'm adding five silver coins. After saying that, you have to pay for it.

Yun Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and covered the man's hand with his hand: The second son misunderstood, this is not a matter of money or not. In a few days, the little doll will go to Dongling Academy, and if she wants to keep it to make two clothes for the doll, it is definitely not a matter of how much money the second son has.

After listening to Yun Cheng's words, the arrogant son sighed lightly: So that's the case, okay! Don't forget my second young man if there is any high-quality material in the future. After speaking, he took the horse from the hand of the entourage and jumped on the horse, Xiao San, it's not too early to go home, and the two of them whipped away.

Yun Cheng watched the two go away, turned around and put the silver coins into the money bag, only to find that his son who was standing in a daze looked at him: What's wrong, good son?

Yun Yi was puzzled: "Daddy, we can't sell a single silver coin after a few days of hunting, but you don't sell fifteen silver coins from that big brother just now, why is this?" Yun Yi asked puzzled.

After hearing this, Yun Cheng smiled and squatted down, and touched Yun Yi's little face with his thick and thick hand: Good son, let's pack up and go home.

Yun Yi, who didn't get an answer, could only pack up his things depressedly, followed Yun Cheng to go around the street and sell the meat, talking and laughing along the way and greeting the villagers from time to time.

After a simple lunch, Yun Cheng hung the remaining minced meat in the courtyard to dry the moisture, and Yun Yi sharpened his beautiful knife in the courtyard.

Yun Cheng came to the courtyard after tidying up: Good son, daddy goes out for a trip, he may have to come back later, and if there is food in the pot, you don't have to wait for me to sleep first at night.

Yun Yi nodded, holding his unsharpened knife: Daddy will go early and come back early!

Yun Cheng put the sack on his shoulder and walked towards the village, and his wide back gradually disappeared in front of Yun Yi's eyes. Yun Yicai sharpened his glittering white knife again, accompanied by the chirping of birds on the eaves, which was also a way to live a comfortable and happy life.

Three days later,

The vast starry sky shone with a little light, and the passing comet dragged his long tail of smoke, dividing the sky in two, and soon merging into one, no one knew what he was or what he could bring, always wearing his mysterious veil and briefly appearing in the night sky before people's eyes. The pale moonlight diffuses through the windowsill into the simple and monotonous room, the faint glory on the wooden table still makes the room seem more or less warm, and the red flames under the stove are like a beautiful dance.

Yun Chengzao looked at the sleeping Yun Yi on the side of the couch, the simplicity and kindness of his face were so loving in the moonlight, although there was no pain, his heart had been repulsing. Tomorrow my son is about to leave his heart is somewhat reluctant, recalling the cloud memory that he picked up by the river and cried, from eating goat's milk to being able to run, picking up a knife and looking at the beast, helping himself to shout and sell goods, Jingjing* Chaochao Twilight appeared in front of him from time to time. The two pearls were transparent and moistened the eyes of the middle-aged man, Yun Cheng wiped his moist eyes, and walked to the guest table to pick up the yellow jade dragon in the cloth cotton that he had just picked up.

Yun Cheng took the jade pendant and recalled Yun Zhen's words in front of the table, sixth-order souls, how many people in other sects expect their children to have numbers that their soul power cannot. After thinking of the situation of the black bear Yunyi at the big station that night, he still decided to suppress it No, now is not the time to tell the child, if the child is still young, if he can't accept the reality, it will ruin the child's future.

Yun Yi said that he was not his own child, but what is the difference between him and his own child, maybe it was God's favor that gave him the right to be a father. Don't hurt the child, the child is innocent, tomorrow will be the first time the child leaves himself, and there is still a lot to prepare for the child......

The glow of the sun revealed his sharpness, and all things revived with the first rays of the sunrise. Yun Yi woke up in a haze, sat up and rubbed his eyes, the smell of meat in the room that had been boiled overnight was transmitted into the sense of smell as soon as Yun Yi woke up: It's so fragrant...! Yun Cheng, who was busy, saw Yun Yi wake up, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Yun Yi get up.

Yun Yi climbed out of his warm quilt, stretched a big lazy waist, and rubbed his eyes that had not yet opened his sleep: Daddy, why didn't you go to the market today?

Yun Cheng smiled and said: Today you are going to go to Dongling with your Grandpa Yun Zhen, it was originally your father who sent you to the school. Your grandfather just wants you to go to your aunt's house, and it is more convenient for you to take his carriage to go. Daddy won't go back and forth to send you to the school, and when you get there, your Grandpa Yunzhen will send you to the school first.

After speaking, he took out a beautiful maroon leather jacket from the blue package at the head of the bed, and put on new clothes for Yun Yi: Come, this is what I went to the tailor shop in Xiacun Town to order for you, and I also need a new dress when I go to school.

After hearing this, Yun Yi asked: Daddy, who will accompany you to talk after I leave, and who will accompany you to hunting?

Yun Cheng naturally felt uncomfortable when he heard this, but he still smiled: Good son, Daddy is an adult, and Daddy, your studies are the most important! After speaking, touch Yun Yi's little brain, Yi'er is so handsome today, go and wash it! After eating, Daddy will send you to the street to wait for Grandpa Yunzhen.

Today, breakfast may be the most difficult for Yun Cheng to swallow, and the reluctance of his son to leave his heart does make this man feel air-conditioned.
