In the afternoon, Yan Jibai and his wife said to Lu Yu very seriously that they would have to settle the money with him for dinner in the future, and the four of them would pay three taels of silver a month. Three taels of silver is enough for a family to eat for a few months in normal times, but now three taels of silver is really not enough to buy a month's ration for a family of four.

Lu Yu refused to ask for it, but the Bai couple had to give it, so Lu Yu had to say one or two a month, and then they would count it together when they left. Yan Jibai kept sighing, I don't know if he sighed why his family ended up in the situation of sending people under the fence, or sighed for troublesome others.

The dinner was made by Mrs. Yan, and Lu Yu said that she would not let her come, so Lu Yu had to stay in the yard in a daze while she was cooking. Although she had been seeing Yan Xi'an today, Lu Yu didn't decide to be very happy, because she had been depressed. Leaving his familiar home and going to the fence again, no one can be happy, Lu Yu can't build his happiness on the unhappiness of others.

There was a very large open space behind Lu Yu's house, and there was a small hill not far from his house. When Lu Yu was a child, his mother used thin bamboo poles and ropes to enclose a piece of open space, which is now the yard. In the past, Lu Yu's yard planted some vegetables and raised chickens. The well is in a corner outside the courtyard, and there is a grape trellis next to the well, and Lu Yu remembers that when he was a child, he could eat sweet grapes every summer. But now there was nothing in it, no chickens, no vegetables, just an empty yard and a dilapidated grape trellis, no grapes.

When she was in a trance, Yan Xi'an also arrived in the courtyard and saw her Lu Yu was a little nervous.

"Uncle, is the meat you ate today wild boar?" Although Yan Xi'an was unhappy, she was not nervous, she had no reason to be nervous. She called Lu Yu "uncle" instead of "Uncle Yu", and Lu Yu felt a little weird: "Uncle is generally used to refer to people who are older than their father or almost an adult, do I look old?" ”

Lu Yu calmed down and said, "Yes, I hunted some time ago. ”

Yan Xi'an's eyes lit up and said, "Really, when will you still go hunting?" Take me with you. ”

"Uh, take you?" Lu Yu looked at the delicate and tender little girl, a little surprised, hunting is not a game, why should she go.

"You see, all four of us are eating at your house, and there will definitely not be enough food, so we have to hunt more, so that there will be no shortage of food." Yan Xi'an is persuading Lu Yu to hunt, but the point is why she wants to be with her.

"You're right, but why should you go?"

Yan Xi'an pouted and said, "Didn't my father say, we can't just eat and not work, so I have to help." She took her slender white fingers and continued: "My brother is still young, my father is old, and his health is not very good, so I can only go with you." ”

Lu Yu felt that she was very good at talking, scratched the back of her head and said to her: "Eh, hunting is very dangerous and hard, and girls are not suitable." ”

Yan Xi'an probably felt that Lu Yu was a little loose, and said with bright eyes: "Don't be afraid, I will take care of myself, and I am not afraid of being tired." Besides, you're going to protect me. ”

"She said I would protect her......" Lu Yu's mind accelerated, and his heart seemed to be about to burst out of his chest. He tried his best to suppress the inner throbbing, tried his best to maintain his appearance calm, and said to Yan Xi'an: "Does your father and mother agree?" If they agree, I'll take you. ”

"Really?" Yan Xi'an smiled, said, "Wait for my news", and then turned around and entered the house.

Her parents probably didn't agree, because when Lu Yu was eating dinner, he saw Yan Xi'an looking depressed. Sure enough, halfway through eating, Yan Jibai asked Lu Yu if he would go hunting.

Lu Yu said that there hasn't been much work in the field recently, so he should go in the next two days. Then Yan Yubai asked Lu Yu if he could take him with him. Lu Yu hesitated for a while, but still refused. Yan Jibai is no longer very young, and he has never done heavy work, so he is afraid that he will not be able to help him, and he may have to assign someone to take care of him. Yan Yubai was a little disappointed, but Lu Yu insisted that he couldn't agree. Lu Yu understood that he just wanted to eat and live in his own house with peace of mind, but in fact, he really didn't need them to do anything to "repay" him, even if it wasn't for Yan Xi'an, an ordinary relative Lu Yu might also go to help.

Soon after dinner, Lao Gao came to invite Lu Yu to enter the mountain tomorrow, or he, Lu Yu and Lu Di. Lao Gao nodded when he saw Yan Jibai and the others, and it was not surprising that he had said hello. He has a younger sister who is also married to Jinhua City, and she came over with her husband and son a few days ago, and his nephew is a few years younger than his own son.

At night, Lu Yu slept in the firewood room, and he still felt a little unaccustomed. However, the Bai family is even more unaccustomed to it, and has been moving back and forth. Lu Yu didn't mean to eavesdrop on anything, it's just that his ears are too sensitive to help it. Mrs. Yan and Yan Xi'an slept on the bed that Lu Yu used to have, and Yan Jibai took her son to sleep in the bed that no one slept on, so there was nothing that could not be listened to. They all said a lot of things, some recalled their previous lives, some lamented the current situation, and of course, many thanked Lu Yu. At the beginning, what she said was something that could be heard, but later Mrs. Yan was teaching her daughter some knowledge that a woman must know, and Lu Yu felt that she shouldn't listen to it anymore, so she had to pull two balls of cotton wool to block her ears and eyes, and forced herself to think about something else.

Lu Yu felt like a thief.

Lu Yu got up early the next day, washed her face with cold water, and brought a kitchen knife to find Lao Gao...... This made Lu Yu despise his ears very much.

I hadn't hunted for a few days, Lao Gao and Lu Di were very excited, and the three of them took their things and went directly to the mountains.

While walking, Lao Gao suddenly asked, "Is pork still for sale?" ”

Lu Di thought for a moment and said, "Don't sell it, the pork should be able to top some grain." ”

Lao Gao nodded and said, "I think the same way, my sister's family is here, and there is definitely not enough food at home." He asked Lu Yu again: "Da Yu, who is your family, I haven't heard that you have any relatives." ”

Lu Yu said that it was a relative of the third grandfather's family, Lao Gao nodded, and didn't say anything, so did Lu Di. The two of them may be a little sympathetic to Lu Yu, and may think that he is too easy to talk.

After walking for a while, Lu Yu felt that something was wrong, as if something was following them. Lu Yu stopped, looked back but found nothing, Lao Gao and Lu Di both asked him what was wrong. Lu Yu said that there was something following us, and I didn't know what it was.

Lu Di and Lao Gao and the two of them now believe in Lu Yu's five senses very much, because Lu Yu can hear the cry of a wild boar from a long distance; He can spot the best critters hidden in the woods at a glance. So when Lu Yu said that there was something behind him, they both believed it.

Lao Gao was not nervous, and said, "We just came in from the village, so we must not be beasts." ”

"Not necessarily, maybe it's a brute who wants to 'take revenge', we have killed so many wild boars and wolves, maybe anyone will remember us." Lu Di was joking, and he wasn't nervous at all.

Lu Yu had already heard the breathing of everyone except us, and he shouted: "Who, follow us early in the morning." ”

"Uncle, it's me." It turned out to be Yan Xi'an, she walked out from behind a tree and looked at Lu Yu and them timidly.

Lu Di and Lao Gao glanced at each other, and then looked at Lu Yu together. Lu Yu pretended not to see the eyes of the two people, beckoned to Yan Xi'an and said, "Come on, follow us." They are already a little far away from the village, and it is not safe to let her go back, and Lu Yu feels that this girl is a little "stunned", and she will definitely continue to follow her when she goes back.

Yan Xi'an grinned and trotted over happily. Seeing her running over, Lu Yu actually had a little illusion, she seemed to be rushing towards her......

"You're amazing, you've been with us for so long, and you haven't found you." Lu Yu really thinks she is quite clever, and she feels a little careless.

Yan Xi'an smiled and said, "I'm not afraid that you won't, I'll follow you from afar." She looked at me and asked, "How did you find me, I hid it well." ”

"Guess." Lu Yu said without hesitation.

"Guess? How can it be? Yan Xi'an was interested, and he must ask Lu Yu how to guess. Or later Lu Di said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, you don't know that his ears are smarter than a dog's." Lao Gao also said: "That is, the dogs are not as good as him." ”

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, is there such a boast? Yan Xi'an laughed, she didn't have the appearance of a quiet and delicate girl at all, she said seriously: "Three uncles, I will definitely not drag you down, anyway, what should I do, just say what you want me to do." ”

Lao Gao and the others didn't care, and they didn't mind Yan Xi'an following. Lu Yu remembered that she didn't know Lao Gao and Lu Di yet, so she pointed to Lao Gao and said, "This is Gao Bin, you can just call him Uncle Gao." He pointed at Lu Di and said, "This is Lu Di, you can call him Uncle Di." Yan Xi'an was very obedient, and shouted sweetly, "Uncle Gao is good, Uncle Di is good", and shouted at Lu Yu: "Uncle Da Yu is good." Lu Yu found that it seemed that she sometimes called herself Uncle Da Yu, and sometimes she was Uncle, and calling herself Uncle Da Yu might be to distinguish herself from the "uncle" next to her.

"Alright, let's go." Lu Yu said to Yan Xi'an again: "If you are tired, just say it, and we will stop and rest." ”

Yan Xi'an patted his knee and said, "I'm not tired, don't underestimate me." "She was dressed in a green silk shirt, which was quite new, and I hope it won't be torn when I go home today.

Lu Yu asked her again: "You came out by yourself, aren't you afraid that your father and mother will worry?" ”

Yan Xi'an smiled mysteriously and said, "I told my mother, and she agreed." ”

Lu Yu expressed his skepticism!
