Old Orion never thought that one day the word virtuous could be used on a man. He felt that it was unkind to use the word virtuous to describe the traveling merchant, but apart from these two words, he didn't know what words to use to describe the traveling merchant.

"You young man, why ......?" said the old hunter, who was silent in the middle of his speech, and he did not know what to say.

When the merchant saw that the old hunter had woken up, he smiled: "You are awake, come and eat." ”

"It smells good, so you know how to cook?" Old Orion was surprised.

You Shang smiled: "When I was very young, I had no father or mother, and I had to do everything by myself, so of course cooking would not be difficult for me. However, it is not possible to say how good it is, and I hope that the old people will not dislike it. ”

"That's not it, I smell it and know it's better than I cooked." Old Orion said happily, "Today is a blessing for me. ”

When the old hunter was young, he was raised by his mother, and when he grew up, he was fed by his daughter-in-law, and after the death of his daughter-in-law, he had no intention of doing this, no matter how unpalatable he cooked, and every time he was hungry, he would deal with it casually. He felt that his eldest son scolded well, he was indeed not a good thing, and people like him should not be happy, they should be tired and uncomfortable for a lifetime.

He thought he didn't care anymore, but when he smelled the smell of the rice today, he suddenly felt that he was alive again.

"Why are you so kind and still cook for me? If it's for hunting, you've given enough money. Orion couldn't help but ask again.

You Shang smiled: "I want to go back after I learn it, so I have to live here and talk to my predecessors during this time." I'm afraid you'll find me annoying, so I want to do more. ”

"That's too much. But that's okay, it's good to have that kind of awareness. The old hunter thought to himself, it would be a big deal to hand over all his housekeeping skills to the traveling merchant.

A well-behaved and obedient disciple like You Shang who can do things, it would be better if there were a few more. He hadn't been cared for like this in years.

The cooking skills of the traveling merchant are average, but they are much better than the old hunters. The old hunter looked at the wandering merchant with a little more kindness, and from this day on, he was more attentive to the wandering merchant when hunting. Before, he only taught the traveling merchant how to hunt, and now he is still called the traveling merchant, how to avoid injury? What herbs can be picked here to stop the bleeding in time? In addition, he also told the traveling merchants all his years of experience, taught the traveling merchants to lay traps, and many of his unique hunting skills.

Old Orion suddenly had the feeling of going back many years ago, when he taught his eldest son to hunt. At that time, he also gave all his life's know-how to his son, as he is now, but the eldest son has always disliked hunting, and is always careless, not as serious as the traveling merchant. Later, the second son and the third son listened very carefully, but unfortunately they had ......

Thinking of this, the old hunter was a little gloomy.

The wandering merchant also noticed that the old hunter looked at him with more and more loving eyes, which made him feel very strange, could he be like his eldest son, who had been missing for many years?

"As the saying goes, the apprentice of the church starves to death the master, I have heard that many experienced old-timers will keep one or two hands when they teach the apprentice, and when they get along with each other for a few more years, they will feel that the apprentice is credible, and they will hand over the rest to him. It's the first time I've seen you like you, and I'm embarrassed to see it. You Shang smiled, "You should know that I am a merchant......

"What's wrong with giving birth? Aren't you a runner? Since you want to run the goods, you have to go through those deep mountains and old forests, right, then I can teach you these things maybe you can use them? The old hunter was dissatisfied, "I have never seen a young man like you, I am willing to teach you, but I am not willing to learn." ”

"It's not that I don't want to learn, it's just that I ......" You Shang paused, and he didn't know what to say, "You always make me feel weird like this, but what is strange, I can't say, I feel a little nervous." ”

"What's there to be nervous about? I didn't expect you to be a coward. The old hunter shook his head with a smile, sighed again, and said, "I'm almost seventy years old, and I don't know how long I can live." Before stepping into the coffin, someone wanted to learn the craft from me, and I handed it all in, so that the experience I had accumulated over so many years of hunting would not be taught to me in the end. I'm just afraid that I'll regret it before I die, anyway, I've taught everything, as for whether you want to use it or not, that's your business. ”

You Shang felt uncomfortable when he heard this: "Don't say that, I see that you have a strong body and bones, and you will definitely live a long life." ”

The old Orion shook his head and smiled: "Don't say goodbye, I don't want to live a long life." If a lonely old man like me lives a hundred years old, how hard those days will be, and who can bear the hardships. ”

You Shang hesitated for a moment and said, "But if you want to teach me all your more than sixty years of hunting experience, I can't learn it!" Why don't you do this, when I shoot down two geese, you can pack up and go to live in Huaihua Village with me? You can also hunt when you get there, and you can continue to teach me. ”

The old Orion was stunned, he didn't expect the Wanderer Chamber of Commerce to have such a proposal. His own sons are disgusted with him, but is there anyone who doesn't dislike him?

"Do you pity me indiscriminately when you see that I am pitiful, I tell you that I don't eat, I will hand over everything you should hand over to you, even if you pretend to be good to me, I have nothing else to give you."

After the old hunter finished speaking, he felt amused, although he handed over all the things that should be handed over, but those things he knew were of no use to the traveling merchant. The wandering merchant is a runner, although he can use things like herbs, but he has been running for so many years, will there still be no commonly used medicine bottles around him? He is simply doing this too much, and people may not want to appreciate it. He is just an ordinary old Orion of the Heavenly Evil Lone Star, who is close to him and who is unlucky, and what can he get from him?

Therefore, he couldn't understand more and more, could it be that when the wandering merchant went up the mountain with him to hunt two days ago, he accidentally hit his head and really knocked himself stupid?

You Shang smiled: "You are alone now, and I am also alone, so it's good for the two of us to be companions." ”

"Less, aren't you about to propose to someone? When the time comes, only your beautiful lady will accompany you, what do you want me to do as a bad old man? ”

"Mei Jiao Niang is still young, at least two years to get married, and I have been alone for the past two years. Do you have pity on me? You Shang smiled, "I heard that there is a treasure in the family, and I also want a treasure to go back to the town." ”

"What about after the town? Wait for your beautiful lady to kick me out as soon as she enters the door? Old Orion didn't quite believe him.

Even his eldest son hated him so much that he refused to come back after leaving for twenty years, let alone a young man who had only been with him for four or five days?

"How can you think that? Since I said that I would take you over, I naturally want to support you for the rest of my life. My fiancée is also a kind and good person, and will definitely honor you. You have taught me so much, even if you are my master. As the saying goes, if you are a teacher for one day and a father for life, then you are also my father, and my daughter-in-law will naturally take good care of you. You Shang thought for a while and said, "I know you want to wait for your son to come back, if you really don't want to go, it doesn't matter, I will definitely come to see you during the New Year's holidays in the future." ”

Old Orion was silent, he knew very well that his son would never return, but he had to have some hope while he was here.

"Don't you think I'm a nuisance?" Old Orion couldn't help but ask him.

"How could it be a problem?" You Shang smiled, "Actually, you may be able to help me a lot if you live in my house." ”

Old Orion raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Is it? So what can I do for you? ”

You Shang smiled: "My fiancée's family has only one man, and that is his brother who has to go out to study for every pair. He was still young, and there was only one frail mother and sister-in-law who had just been married for a long time, and because there was no male to support the door, it was not very convenient for their family to do things every time her brother went to school. I bought a piece of land near their house, and I will build a house in Shantou in the future, if you live in it, if there is any movement next door that you need help with, you can come forward in time, right? ”

The traveling merchant is actually talking nonsense, the old hunter is almost seventy years old, how dare he ask him to do dangerous things? But he didn't know why he couldn't let go of the old man in front of him, especially the old Orion's statement that was the same as his last words, which made him very unacceptable.

He thought to himself, although these old hunters were all happy in front of him, but as soon as he left, would the old hunters change their appearance? Just like before, I ran everywhere to dangerous places, as if I wished I would die sooner.

It would be fine if he had never admitted that he was such a person, but since he had known each other and had been together for so many days, there was no way to leave it alone. He felt that the temper of the old hunter was somewhat similar to that of his grandfather, who used to be duplicitous, hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, but he was very good to him. At that time, his grandfather felt that he did not have long to live, so he couldn't help but want to give him everything he knew. He was too young to learn so much, and finally his grandfather left with regrets.

When Orion said those words to him, he couldn't help but think of his grandfather. He made such a request on the spur of the moment, but after making it he did not regret it, but breathed a sigh of relief, and he knew that he wanted to continue to spend time with this old man.

The old hunter was silent for a long time before he spoke slowly: "My son will not come back." ”

You Shang didn't say anything when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say.

"I believe that you were sincere when you said this to me, but it is useless to be sincere, you will not live alone in the future, you must always ask your daughter-in-law's opinion, as well as your daughter-in-law's brother's opinion. Otherwise, her brother will be unhappy and won't marry his daughter-in-law to you, what will you do? ”

You Shang immediately smiled: "Okay, I'll go back and ask, and I'll come and pick you up when they are willing." ”

You Shang thought to himself, Shen Junchuan and Shen Junyao were not ruthless, so they would not agree to such a thing.
