The piece of land bought by the traveling merchant was not easy to deal with, and there was a lot of commotion, and soon the people of Huaihua Village knew that the traveling merchant was going to settle down in Huaihua Village. There are many people in the village who know the traveling merchant, and they are still very welcome to the arrival of the traveling merchant, thinking that with such a merchant, it will be much more convenient for them to buy something in the future, or to ask someone to sell something.

And some well-meaning women began to inquire about the marriage of the traveling merchant. Most of these women are daughters of the right age or relatives and children of the right age at home, and the traveling merchants are good-looking, and the goods are doing well, and they are all very good candidates in the eyes of everyone. Although I have also heard of the dangerous things about his goods, it was all before he got married. At that time, there were no parents and no wives and children, so it was natural to ignore some things. But if he marries a wife, he will definitely not do such a dangerous thing for the sake of his wife.

Even if he still wanted to do those dangerous things, they had the responsibility and obligation to tell him what to do, and they would definitely persuade the traveling merchants not to go to dangerous places again.

These women are all beautiful, and they have made their wishful thinking in their hearts, but they have never thought about the traveling merchants, and they already have their own candidates in their hearts.

In order to clear the land, the traveling merchant paid a lot of money to hire a lot of people to help. Some women went to the land with their husbands early in the morning, and if they caught the traveling merchant, they would ask him about his life's work.

You Shang explained tactfully one by one at first, but later he was really impatient, and as soon as someone asked, he said that he was ready to propose marriage, and he didn't need others to worry about it. When people asked who the girl was, he said that she was from Huaihua Village, otherwise he would not have come to Huaihua Village to settle down.

When the women heard this, they felt very sorry, and thought that they had guessed correctly, that the wandering merchant was a wife who would love him, but it was a pity that the candidate for this wife was not their daughter. I don't know who started so quickly and picked up such a golden beetle son-in-law all of a sudden.

That's right, in the eyes of the countrymen, a merchant like a traveling merchant is already a golden beetle's son-in-law. They don't know how much money the traveling merchants have made over the years, just looking at the appearance of the traveling merchants, they are all richer than them.

The traveling merchant still had to learn to hunt, so he didn't stay in Huaihua Village for long, and he handed over those things to Shen Junchuan to be responsible. However, Shen Junchuan also wanted to study, so he handed over these things to Zhang Jialeizi.

Although Leizi usually helps Carpenter Zhang do some carpentry, the people in the village recognize Carpenter Zhang's craftsmanship and generally don't order him. Therefore, compared to Zhang Carpenter, Zhang Lei is still very idle.

Zhang Lei is a little lazy, and he looks like a hanger when he does a lot of things. But he respects Shen Junchuan very much, but whatever Shen Junchuan tells him to do, he will do it meticulously. Therefore, Shen Junchuan was still very relieved to hand over the bunch of things about the traveling merchant to Zhang Lei.

The merchant arrived at the old hunter's house on time three days later, and it was a coincidence that when he arrived, he saw the old hunter returning with a basket of game.

Naturally, the basket was all prey from the old hunters, some of them were dead, and some of them were still alive, and the traveling merchant saw at a glance that there were two very cute little white rabbits in the basket.

"Yes, the young man was punctual and came over so early. It's a pity that I just came back, and now I'm so tired that I just want to sleep at night, I'm afraid that I will delay you a lot of work again. ”

The old hunter was a little embarrassed, he said before that after three days, he thought that the traveling merchant would extend the time outward, who knew that the traveling merchant was so sincere, and he came directly early in the morning three days later.

You Shang smiled: "It's okay, the juniors actually didn't wait long." I don't know if there's any place I can borrow here, I can wait until you wake up and come back to talk to you. ”

The old hunter smiled: "If you want to find a place to rest temporarily, just live in my house, I live alone at the door of my house, but there are four or five rooms in this house, and it is strangely empty, it is good to have someone to stay with me for two or three days." ”

When the merchant came, he had already heard from the nearby villagers that this old hunter was also miserable. Old Orion once had a very capable and prolific wife, and his wife gave birth to him a little boy at the first time, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. His first wife's second child was two boys, and although the old hunter was happy, his daughter-in-law was hurt by it.

No one thought that the third child of the old Orion's wife would be three children, two boys and one girl, both very thin. When his wife gave birth to her third child, she had a difficult birth, and not long after giving birth to a child, she was killed. The old hunter had no backbone without his wife, and he did not take care of the children himself, and it was not long before the three emaciated children left one after another.

The old hunter was very depressed for a while, but he knew that the days would go on, so he took his two sons up the mountain to hunt. Originally, he was supposed to take three, but since the death of his wife and three youngest children, his eldest son has been extremely cold to him, always thinking that he killed his wife and children.

Later, one year on the birthday of the old hunter, his second son and third son, in order to surprise him, wanted to go to the mountains to secretly hunt a novel prey and give it to him. But who knew that the two children failed to find the novel animal in their mouths, but accidentally ran into a tiger and were devoured by the tiger.

The eldest son of the old Orion knew how his two younger brothers had died, and he hated the old Orion even more. It's just like the craft of hunting, what is there to learn, can it be more important than these children?

Why is it that not long after the three youngest siblings are born, the old hunter is going out to hunt? His mother was holding his hand before she died, and she must have asked him to take care of her children, but he always forgot to take care of his children for the sake of hunting, and after a hundred years, would he have the face to go down to see their mother?

Later, his two younger brothers went to the mountains to hunt privately, and that skill was also taught by the old hunter, and they had the opportunity to run out alone, because the old hunter went out hunting alone. Old Orion's eldest son had thought countless times that even if Old Orion had gone out hunting with his two younger brothers that day, perhaps his two younger brothers would not have died.

Knowing these things can't be completely the fault of the old Orion, but he just can't control himself from thinking like this, and the more he thinks about it, the more he hates not knowing how to face his father, so the eldest son of the old Orion moves away from the village early and leaves this sad place.

Old Orion didn't understand why things had become such a lively home as they were now, with so many children in the family, but now it was deserted, and he was the only one left.

It's just that no matter how hard the days are, as long as you want to live, you have to live them. So after two years of depression, the old hunter picked up the old things and went up to the mountains to hunt. He sometimes wondered if he had to meet a tiger now, and it would be better if the tiger would eat it, so that he could be reunited with his two sons.

The old Orion felt that it was not interesting for him to live alone, so the older he grew, the more he liked to ask the bold Orions to go to those dangerous places. In the past, he only wanted to hunt small things to make ends meet, and occasionally a roe deer or deer could make a little more money. But now he hunts with tigers, bears and the like, thinking that if he kills more such ferocious beasts, fewer people will die behind him. On the other hand, he felt that it would be good if he died directly at the hands of these beasts, and he didn't know how to understand himself, so let the beasts do it for him.

It's just that he has been running to dangerous places for so many years, and he has not encountered those fierce beasts.

The wandering merchant didn't know how to persuade this old hunter, but he knew that this old hunter had a lot of hunting experience, and he was a little better than the other fox hunters around here, and it was more than enough to teach him.

He followed the old hunter into the house, and found that the rooms were very sloppy, as if no one had cleaned them up for many years. I heard that the old Orion's wife used to be a clean-loving woman, and always kept the house clean inside and out.

Not long after entering the house, the old hunter fell asleep directly on the bed stuffed with all kinds of strange things, and slept so hard that the wandering merchant called him several times but failed to wake him up.

The traveling merchant had no choice but to clean up all the prey of the old hunter first. Although he didn't know how to hunt, when he used to help people collect mountain goods, he also learned some ways to deal with them, and he did a good job. The two snow-white rabbits were specially found and locked up in a cage by him, and he wanted to buy the rabbits when the old hunter woke up, and give them to Shen Junyao when the time came.

After doing all this, the traveling merchant began to help the old hunter clean the house again. He's always been an idle guy, so he has to find something to do for himself. So when the time was almost up, the traveling merchant began to live and cook again.

The old Orion was awakened by the scent, and in a trance he thought that he was still a young Orion, and that his wife and children were by his side. He remembered that only his wife would get up early in the morning to cook for him, and always wake him up again and again while he was still sleeping.

It's just that it doesn't seem to be early in the morning, and his wife has been dead for decades?

The old hunter jumped up from his bed with a carp, and hurried towards the kitchen, where he saw the merchant cooking soup.

"Old man, you're awake, wash up and eat."

The old Orion was stunned, he didn't expect that someone would cook for him this year, and this person was actually a young man?

Is there something wrong with this young man's brain? Spend money to come to him, ask him to teach him to hunt, and cook for him? Why don't you help him wash his clothes and tidy up his room?

Oh no, his house seems to have been cleaned up, and even the kitchen is much cleaner, and there is actually a place to stay.
