But bear skin is a good thing, at least the warmth is still very good, especially here, without down jackets, the price of fur has always been not low. There is a big difference between a whole skin and a broken skin.

Seeing that Chu Xingshan's every arrow was fast and accurate, Zhao Qingzao was a little impressed, sure enough, there was still a big difference between a novice and a great god, if she came to use a bow and crossbow, this bear would have been pierced into a sugar gourd stick a long time ago.

Chu Xingshan shot a few more arrows cautiously, put down the crossbow arrows, and stood aside, Zhao Qingzao asked, "What's next?"

And so on. Chu Xingshan said: "Wait for it to toss, the blood will dry up, and it will be dead, and we will go again." ”

Zhao Qingzao nodded, it seemed that it could only be like this. The two of them stared at each other, the bear was probably injured outside before it fell in, and after tossing for so long, it gradually lost its support, and when it didn't move at all, the sky had already darkened.

Zhao Qingzao breathed a sigh of relief, if it was any later, when it was dark, they would be in some trouble when they went back, and in the mountains at night, the danger would increase exponentially compared to the day.

They hurriedly quickened their movements, tied them with ropes, gritted their teeth, barely moved, and walked back slowly. Chu Xingshan looked at Zhao Qingzao with admiration and said, "I didn't expect you to have a lot of strength, I originally planned to find someone to help." ”

Zhao Qingzao smiled: "This little thing, I'll just do it myself." In fact, she has used her best strength, but she can barely hold on, once she can't hold on, she will take a look at this moving pile of silver and cheer herself up silently.

I moved slowly like this, and when I reached the foot of the mountain, the sky was already much darker. A figure appeared in front of them, and both of them were a little curious, at this time, how could anyone still go up the mountain, even if it was a hunter who came to collect the trap, he would have already gone back at this time, and he would not stay so late.

Moreover, this figure seems to be a little familiar......

Zhao Qingzao looked over suspiciously, but the person gradually got closer, Chu Xingshan's eyesight was better, and he was surprised: "It's Brother Shen." ”

"What?" Zhao Qingzao was taken aback, and looked fixedly, wasn't it Shen Changting? What was he doing here?

Over there, Shen Changting also saw them, hurried a few steps, stepped forward, and was first startled by the big guy in front of him, although it was dark at this time, he couldn't see clearly, just looking at the faint outline, it was also extraordinarily huge.

He pointed to the bear and said, "You caught it?" ”

Zhao Qingzao said proudly: "That's, don't look at who made the trap." Then he remembered that he had come alone, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Shen Changting was still sighing, and when he heard her question, he came back to his senses and replied: "I came home and found that you were not at home, the meal was half cooked, I don't know what happened, I hurriedly asked, it was Grandma Niu who told me that you and Brother Chu caught the prey, and I will see if there is anything that can help." ”

I see, when I got home and saw that my home was in a mess, I was probably taken aback, Zhao Qingzao was a little moved, but he still rejected his kindness: "You just stay on the side, there is nothing to help, here I and Brother Chu are just two people." You're not in good health, just don't make a mess. ”

Shen Changting was choked, still in front of Chu Xingshan, a little embarrassed, but Zhao Qingzao didn't notice it at all, but fortunately, Chu Xingshan pretended not to hear it, just talked to him normally, and mixed up here.

Zhao Qingzao has been in a state of excitement and can't calm down, these days, all her hard work has been put on these traps, and today finally has results, how can she not be excited.

Shen Changting looked at her sparkling eyes, since she decided to catch the trap, it had been a long time since she had seen it, seeing Zhao Qingzao happy, he was also sincerely happy for her, he took a step forward, hugged Zhao Qingzao in his arms, hugged it hard, and said, "Congratulations, I finally succeeded." ”

Zhao Qingzao smiled: "Thank you." Hurry back quickly, you won't be able to see the road clearly. ”

The three of them stumbled all the way, and it took twice as long as usual, and finally returned home, all sweating tired. Chu Xingshan was afraid that Grandma Niu would be worried, so he said goodbye and went back, and Shen Changting and Zhao Qingzao sent him out.

Zhao Qingzao and Shen Changting glanced at each other, and they both heard each other's stomachs rumbling, and they couldn't help laughing. Zhao Qingzao went back to the kitchen to heat up the food in the pot, and Shen Changting set the dishes and chopsticks on the side, both of them were served, and they felt very fragrant when eating.

After eating, Zhao Qingzao pointed to the bear and said, "This thing has to be fresh, if it is left for a long time, the taste will change, and I have to deal with it tonight." ”

Shen Changting felt a little at a loss, such a big bear: "How to deal with this, cut it into small pieces?"

Zhao Qingzao shook his head: "Peel off the skin first, keep the bear skin, sell it in the future or use it yourself, sell these bear paws and bear meat to the restaurant." ”

As he spoke, he took the knife and began to move. She had specially consulted Chu Xingshan on handling animal fur before, and although this was the first time, except for being a little jerky, there was no difficulty.

Shen Changting couldn't intervene on the side, and he had the heart to go up to help, but he was driven away by Zhao Qingzao: "Go aside, don't get your clothes dirty." I'll be alone here, you go to sleep. ”

How could Shen Changting let her be busy alone, sit back and relax, think about it, let's finish the painting first, doing what you are skilled in, it is better than helping here.

The processing of bearskin is simpler than expected, but it is slower and needs to be carried out little by little. Zhao Qingzao looked at a pile of silver mountains in her eyes, naturally showed twelve points of patience, and did not feel irritable, occasionally when she looked up, she could see that the lights in the study were still on, and Shen Changting was sitting under the window and drawing seriously.

That's good, too. Zhao Qingzao concentrated on handling the work of her subordinates, and her expression was gentle that she had not found herself.

Sometimes this is the case, people can't see their own minds the most clearly, because people can't see their own eyes, they can't see the true meaning inside.

Once Shen Changting started painting, he was so engrossed in it that he completely forgot where he was. His painting is almost finished, there is only a little left to finish it tonight.

Unconsciously, the moon was already in the middle of the sky, Shen Changting put down his pen and gently let out a sigh.

It's done.

He looked at the painting in front of him, and his heart rippled. He loved to draw, not just for fun. Every painting, he takes seriously, but this one is special.

People who love painting generally don't sell their paintings, and for them, it's a blasphemy. The same was true of Shen Changting in the past, if someone told him that he would sell paintings for money in the future, he would definitely think that the other party was extremely ridiculous.

But now, he feels that there is no painting in his life that can surpass the value of this one.

Shen Changting placed the painting on the table, waited for the ink to dry, and took the pen to wash. When he left the scroll, his previous temperament dissipated instantly, and he became the usual thin and weak Shen Changting again.

In the courtyard, Zhao Qingzao was still busy, she had just finished peeling a whole bear skin, she was sweating tired, and she was busy dealing with internal organs, when she saw Shen Changting coming out, she greeted her: "It's not too early to finish painting, you go to sleep quickly, otherwise you won't be able to get up tomorrow, and your spirit will be bad." ”

"Hmm. Shen Changting replied casually, put the cleaned pen back, walked up to her, and looked at her.

Zhao Qingzao pointed to the pile on the ground and said, "It's good to deal with these things, it's almost over." You go to sleep first. ”

"It's okay, I'm not sleepy, I'm waiting for you. Shen Changting said.

Zhao Qingzao looked at his obviously sleepy eyes, still reckless, a little funny, knowing that Shen Changting looked soft, once he became stubborn, no one could persuade him, and he didn't say anything.

Fortunately, she gradually mastered the trick, and her movements became more and more comfortable, and the subsequent processing was much faster, and she was busy for most of the night and finally finished all the processing.

"Oops!" Zhao Qingzao stood up, stretched his long waist, and stretched his aching body. I saw Shen Changting carrying a bucket of water and said to her, "I've boiled the water, come and take a bath." ”

Zhao Qingzao smelled the smell on his body, a little disgusted with himself, and hurriedly went to take a bath, Shen Changting helped take out the change of clothes and put them aside. Zhao Qingzao enjoyed the service and felt quite satisfied.

When the two of them finished taking a bath, they were already halfway through the ugly time, and they were finally able to lie on the comfortable bed, Zhao Qingzao was satisfied: "It's still a good bed, I really don't want to get up." ”

Shen Changting said with a smile: "I'm going to fall asleep, and I still want to get up to do something, and if I want to get up, it will be tomorrow morning." ”

"Hmm. Zhao Qingzao rubbed on the quilt, and today's quilt felt extraordinarily soft: "When we sell the bear tomorrow, we will have a lot of money, and then we can go to find that strange miracle doctor and let him treat you." Detoxify and your body will be fine. ”

Shen Changting wiped her long hair with a dry cloth and said, "Yes, it's all due to you, it's all your credit." ”

Zhao Qingzao smiled: "That's it, now you know my ability." You have to be respectful of me in the future. ”

"Yes, yes. Shen Changting smiled and agreed, and said in his heart, I have known for a long time, you are special, to me.

He remembered and said, "My painting is also finished, and tomorrow I will go to the shop on the street to see if I can sell it and make some money." ”

As soon as he said it, Zhao Qingzao remembered that Shen Changting had indeed said that the painting was finished just now, and she thought that today's painting was finished, after all, Shen Changting had been painting that painting for more than a month.

"Finished painting?" Zhao Qingzao asked.

Shen Changting said: "The painting is finished." ”

Zhao Qingzao didn't have much expectation for this in her heart, or rather, she didn't count Shen Changting in the laborforce that made money at the beginning. However, Shen Changting has worked so hard to paint, she will not attack him, she has already made up her mind that no matter how much Shen Changting's paintings can sell, she will work hard to praise him.

Zhao Qingzao turned over and boasted: "It's amazing, I think your painting is very good-looking, someone will definitely know how to appreciate it." "If you can't sell it, others don't know how to appreciate it.

Shen Changting didn't know if he understood what she meant, smiled, saw that her hair was almost dry, put the cloth aside, and by the way, extinguished the oil lamp, and the moonlight poured in all of a sudden.

The two snuggled together, talked without a pair, and without saying a few words, Zhao Qingzao fell asleep in Shen Changting's arms, she was really tired today.

Shen Changting hugged her, pulled the quilt over and covered it, and soon fell asleep.
