Chapter 141: Fauber
In fact, Zhang Pu could also see that even if he wanted to go down the mountain, Fu Bo suddenly seemed to be reluctant.
Fauber said this: "Apu, it's getting late, don't go down the mountain today, stay on this mountain for the night! ”
In fact, he didn't say it, Zhang Pu decided to stay.
Zhang Pu promised Fauber to stay, and he noticed a flash of undetectable joy on Fauber's face.
Zhang Pu didn't think about it for a while, he just thought in his heart: Maybe Fu Bo has been lonely in this mountain forest for a few days, and he desperately needs someone to accompany him. It had been a few days since his parents disappeared, and then the workers dispersed again, and Fauber had been alone on the mountain for a few days.
He has long taken the mountains as his home, and when he was young, he didn't know why he never got married, and naturally he didn't have any children and relatives until now, and those relatives were also broken.
To be honest, Zhang Pu's heart was sympathetic to Fauber's plight.
The only friends in this forest are his parents and some workers here, but now that everyone is gone, he is alone.
When the contract period arrives, he is also unable to pay off any debts for Zhang Pu's parents, and if Zhang Pu is not able to be responsible at that time, this mountain forest will eventually either fall into the hands of others or be taken away by the township. It's okay for the township to take it away, and it may allow Fu Bo to continue to make the mountain his home here, but if it is picked up by other private individuals, whether they want to hire Fu Bo again is another matter.
In fact, Fauber's outlook is bleak. If Zhang Pu was as idle as he was in his previous life, what could he have saved Fu Bo?
But just this time, Fu Bo couldn't imagine that Zhang Pu could help him more than the Bodhisattva.
However, for a while, Zhang Pu also planned to hide it from his parents for the time being, and he would not tell Fu Bo how much ability he has now.
Although Fauber was a little surprised that Zhang Pu seemed to be too mature than his peers, in his eyes, Zhang Pu was still just a high school student.
Evening, coming soon.
Fauber prepares dinner for Zhang Pu.
Fauber said: There are still a lot of things on this mountain, and if people are diligent, in fact, life will not be very difficult.
Even if Zhang Pu's parents didn't pay him, he could still find food in the mountains himself.
Fauber can still hunt, at least some pheasants and hares, in fact, he also hunted a wild boar a few days ago.
No, they didn't finish eating, because everyone else here was scattered, the missing were missing, and the workers were going home. Fubo exchanged most of the wild boar and some mountain people for some rice, salt, daily necessities, etc., and he smoked and pickled most of the left, dried it and hung it in the smokehouse, and cut a little when he wanted to eat it.
This is also called bacon in some places.
In fact, when he was younger, Zhang Pu had eaten the bacon that Fuber had smoked and pickled.
Fu Bo does have a hand in smoking and curing bacon, and Zhang Pu just thinks it's delicious anyway, better than some marinades he bought in Qingwu City.
The main dish for the dinner that Fauber had to cook for Zhang Pu in the evening was smoked and pickled wild boar.
After the dish was served, Zhang Pu could smell a very fragrant smoked and pickled wild boar smell, which was really a bit mouth-watering.
He couldn't help but ask Fu Bo for a moment how this bacon is made, how is it so fragrant and delicious.
Fauber told him: This bacon is a mountain boar pig sprinkled with salt, and then hung whole or whole into a smokehouse where bacon is made. Below, the branches of various spice trees such as pepper trees and citrus trees are lit and then extinguished, and the remaining branches are smoked and smoked. This smoked, cured meat is occasionally sun-dried and hung in a ventilated place, and it is said that it will not spoil for three years.
In addition to bacon, there are also a lot of vegetarian dishes in terms of dishes, bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and some wild vegetables are special top mountain goods, and some wild vegetables are not available in Qingwu City!
At this meal, Zhang Pu seemed to have a great appetite for himself.
It's even more because this was his parents' territory!
Zhang Pu could see that Fu Bo planned to stay in this mountain for the rest of his life. If someone were to drive him away in the future, he might die against fate.
Zhang Pu secretly wanted to help Fu Bo keep this wish.
It's just that if as the years go by, Fu Bo is really too old to walk, and it seems that there is something wrong with letting him stay in this mountain alone, then he will undoubtedly wait for death here.
Zhang Pu didn't want Fubo's final ending to be like this.
Zhang Pu was thinking in his heart, even if the headquarters of herbs like Huahai Xiaozhan did not move here, he could set up a branch of herbs here!
Yes, isn't it easy to appoint some people or hire some people to come in at that time? They can also take care of Fauber as they please.
It's just for the time being, Zhang Pu doesn't say this to Fauber.
After dinner, Zhang Pu asked Fauber: Did his parents behave abnormally in the days before they disappeared?
After hearing Zhang Pu's question, Fu Bo seemed to think for a while, and then he said like something: He seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally aware that Zhang Pu's parents often went to a bamboo forest in the back mountain at night some time before their disappearance.
Fu Bo said that he didn't dare to go with him at that time, but after Zhang Pu's parents disappeared, he went to the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots during the day, and by the way, he studied the bamboo forest in detail for a long time, but found nothing, and the bamboo forest was no different from ordinary bamboo forests at all.
Although Fauber's words seemed to be unintentional by the speaker, Zhang Pu was the listener's intention anyway.
By the way, Zhang Pu thought to himself, Fu Bo said that his parents often went to the bamboo forest at night, and Fu Bo was considered a descendant of his parents, of course, he did not dare to go with him without the permission of his parents, so Fu Bo did not know what happened to his parents going to the bamboo forest in the back mountain at night. But Fauber also said that he went there during the day and found nothing wrong.
Zhang Pu's mind immediately caught the words "day" and "night". These two terms are actually very different in terms of temporality.
Could it be that the problem is time? Zhang Pu thought to himself. He thought: If this Fauber is telling the truth to himself.
If Zhang Pu was just an ordinary child, he would also think that his parents' affairs should have nothing to do with this bamboo forest, not to mention that a big child like him would not dare to go to the Houshan bamboo forest at night.
However, Zhang Pu is not the student in his previous life now, he is an immortal cultivator who came from the immortal cultivation realm. How could he be afraid of the bamboo forest that night?
And ordinary people may think that the bamboo forest in Fu Bo's words is unremarkable, but Zhang Pu still seems to have heard some mystery.
