Chapter 13: The Hunt
I don't know if it's because of yesterday's overwork, Qiao Wei slept very hard, presumably after moving out of the Lu Mansion, he would clean up the house and help clean up the firewood, thinking about it this way, Qiao Wei was indeed a little bitter yesterday.
In the early morning, the sky outside gradually became clearer, and the pheasants on the mountain began to croak everywhere, waking up Lu Zhao, who was still asleep, from his sleep.
He turned his head and looked at Qiao Wei, who was sleeping sweetly in his arms.
I saw that her eyes were closed, her skin was like congealed cream, her slender curly eyelashes trembled slightly, and her face was more white and flawless by the light refracted into the room from the outside.
Seeing Qiao Wei sleeping so comfortably, Lu Zhao couldn't bear to wake her up, turned his body slightly, slowly pulled his hand out from under Qiao Wei's head, pillowed a leaf, and his arm became sore and numb, but seeing Qiao Wei sleeping next to him, this trivial thing seemed to be not enough to worry about.
Slowly climbed out of bed, Lu Zhao lightly changed his clothes, and prepared to go out hunting.
Now it is different from the days in Lufu, there are no servants and maids who are always with them to serve their food, clothing and daily life, and the days when clothes come to reach out for food and open their mouths in the past are no longer there.
Fortunately, this is in the mountains, there are many wild birds and animals, as well as wild vegetables and fruit trees all over the mountains, but they don't have to worry about no food, but they need to do it themselves and bring them home by their own ability.
After a busy day, Lu Zhao picked a lot of wild vegetables and some fresh fruits and came back, as well as a few hares and pheasants that he hunted in the mountains today, which can be said to be a full load.
Seeing this day, it is estimated that the hour is already three poles of the sun.
Qiao Wei, who was still immersed in sleep, turned over and felt that her surroundings had become empty, only then did she realize that Lu Zhao was not there, and woke up from her sleep in a daze, looking for Lu Zhao's figure everywhere.
"You're awake! Don't worry, I'll make you food, today I went hunting in the mountains and brought you a lot of good things back. ”
Seeing today's abundant harvest, Lu Zhao's face was filled with joy, and the spring breeze proudly wanted Qiao Wei to taste his personal cooking skills.
Looking out the window, it seems that it is not too early.
"Why didn't you call me when you woke up?"
After receiving a basin of water, Qiao Wei simply wet her face and asked casually.
"I see that you are sleeping soundly, and I can't bear to disturb you."
Lu Zhao didn't think much about it, and casually accosted her, which made Qiao Wei's heart tremble, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she felt a little happy and moved in her heart.
Even in the 21st century, there are very few people like Lu Zhao who will be loyal to his wife and take care of his wife.
After cooking, Lu Zhao beckoned Qiao Wei to eat, although the meal on the table was not sumptuous, but there were meat and vegetarian dishes, and it would not look down.
"These silver taels will also be in your charge in the future, I'm afraid that I'm a big man, careless, and don't know how to arrange."
At the dining table, Lu Zhao took out the only silver taels he brought from the Lu Mansion from his pocket, after all, he came out to live, and he had to prepare some silver taels in his pocket in case of emergency, and at the moment, Lu Zhao did not hesitate to hand over all the silver taels to Qiao Wei for safekeeping, which made Qiao Wei a little surprised.
"All in my custody?"
Qiao Wei was a little incredulous The silver tael in the man's hand was asked repeatedly, only to see the man nod affirmatively, and Qiao Wei believed that all this was true.
But even so, Qiao Wei was definitely a little inappropriate and wanted to shirk it, but Lu Zhao seemed to have guessed Qiao Wei's thoughts, and held down Qiao Wei's hand that was about to rise.
"I believe in you, come, eat, eat more, this chicken today is a pheasant on the mountain, very replenishing."
Saying that, Lu Zhao put the chicken leg into Qiao Wei's bowl as if he was fine, and motioned for Qiao Wei to eat, which stopped the topic from continuing.
After the meal, Lu Zhao got up and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, tidying up, carrying the hunting basket and looking like he was going out.
Out of curiosity and uneasiness, Qiao Wei opened her mouth to ask a few words, only to learn that Lu Zhao was going to take these hunting leftovers to the landlord's house and exchange them for some silver taels.
Thinking that these prey are also put away, since they are all dead things, they will not be of their original use after a long time, it is better to change shoes and silver taels, and then you can rely on those exchanged silver taels to send them to the street to buy some necessary things.
Just as Lu Zhao was about to go out, he was stopped by Qiao Wei, and when he turned his head when he heard the sound, he saw Qiao Wei walking out of the house with a small wooden barrel.
"It just so happened that I also went out to wash my clothes in the river in front of me, so I happened to stop by, let's go together."
As she spoke, Qiao Wei patted the barrel with a relaxed and happy face, as if she was going out for an outing, happy like a child.
The two of them walked forward together with talking and laughing along the way, only to see that the road ahead gradually became much more spacious, and the road began to be sparse with the flow of people, and gradually became lively.
A man in ragged clothes, carrying a bamboo basket behind him, and holding an ax in his hand walked in front of him, looking at the posture, he looked like a woodcutter, and when the man saw Lu Zhao, he immediately smiled.
The two of them seemed to be old men who hadn't seen each other for a long time, and greeted each other warmly.
"Lu Zhao, I can still meet you here!"
The man walked to Lu Zhao's side with a smile on his face, and hugged Lu Zhao tightly, it seemed that he had a good friendship.
Seeing that the man's strength was very strong, Lu Zhao almost couldn't breathe, and hurriedly patted the man's shoulder, signaling him to stop, and then he had to breathe.
After some greetings, the man noticed Qiao Wei, who was holding the wooden barrel and was a little struggling, was slightly surprised, and looked at Lu Zhao meaningfully and smiled.
"Yo, look at me, I just cared about my own happiness, I didn't notice that there was such a beautiful little lady standing next to you, looking at the girl's appearance, maybe she was a little faced, seeing that you just talked about such a relationship?"
As he spoke, he looked at Lu Zhao with a gossip on his face.
"Could it be that this little lady is your wife?"
Originally, the man just wanted to make fun of him, but he didn't think much about it, and he never thought that Lu Zhao would hide it at all, and he didn't show off his official position at all.
"As you can see, it's like a fake 'Mrs. Lu'."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and hugged Qiao Wei, his eyes were full of doting, the man was blindfolded, and asked in surprise:
"Seriously!?"
"It's true, Qiao Wei is the wife that I Lu Zhao is marrying!"
