The sun and moon alternate, dotted everywhere, and only a few barking dogs can be faintly heard in the quiet Yunni Village.

Du Yunshu anxiously wandered back and forth in the courtyard, looking outside from time to time. "Why hasn't my brother arrived home yet, usually this time he should have arrived home, could something have happened. "The more I think about it, the more uneasy I become, and the more uneasy I get, the more I think.

There is always a close connection between relatives, and the people call it Qinqinpo. Du Yunshu's right eyelid has been jumping since the morning, and it can't jump even if she is pressed with some water dipped in paper. I do some housework absent-mindedly all day, but I always think about the only relative in the world today.

A twelve-year-old girl is under pressure that she shouldn't be at this age. Although the days are hard, there is a big brother who always has that trace of sweetness and expectation no matter how hard the days are.

Now that the eldest brother has not returned for a long time, Du Yunshu, who is upset, decides to go to the foot of the mountain where her brother often collects firewood to look for it. Otherwise, it is difficult to settle the heart that has already been mentioned in the throat.

Just when Du Yunshu opened the courtyard door and was about to go out, he saw the vague but familiar figure in the dark night rushing in the direction of his home. "That's the big brother, that's definitely the big brother. Du Yunshu was excited, worried that her brother who had been worried all day was back, how could she not be happy to see that figure was not hurt in any way.

"Brother, brother, are you back!" was indescribably excited, and could only turn into this greeting.

"Shu'er, it's my brother who comes back, you open the courtyard door. Hearing this affirmative answer, hearing this familiar voice, Du Yunshu quickly opened the door excitedly. Greet this brother who has been busy all day for life.

"Ah, brother, what are you carrying?" Du Yunshu saw that her brother was carrying a behemoth, and although she had a guess in her heart, she wanted to hear the answer from her brother's mouth. Because she herself couldn't believe it. Shu'er closed the courtyard door and came to the kitchen. Du Yunyong did not answer directly, but carried the carcass of the cheetah and walked straight to the kitchen.

Putting down the carcass of the cheetah and the pheasant and hare that he had hunted before, Du Yunyong took the scoop and drank a large scoop of water. After taking a few breaths, he said to Du Yunshu: "Shu'er, my brother was lucky today, he met an injured leopard, chased it for a day, and it took some effort to bring it here." ”

Du Yunyong had actually been near the village a long time ago, but he was worried that he would be seen hunting leopards, so he had been lying dormant outside the village. Wait until it is dark and no one goes out before showing up and going home.

"Wow! It's a leopard, you can beat such a fierce beast brother, brother, you are really amazing!" Du Yunshu said excitedly.

"Shhhh Du Yunyong stopped Du Yunshu, who was excited and called loudly, and instructed her with a smile.

"Oh, brother, you said Shu'er understand," Du Yunshu felt remorse for the mistake she had accidentally made just now,

Seeing this, Du Yunyong looked distressed, did he have too high requirements for a twelve-year-old girl. Then comforted: "It's okay Shu'er, my brother is just afraid that the bad guys will hear and covet it, and bring us unnecessary trouble, for Shu'er, my brother also hit the pheasant and the hare, let's have a good meal today." ”

As for the hare, after peeling the fur, Du Yunyong planned to give the rabbit meat to the village chief, so that he could take him all the way to the town tomorrow.

The meal has actually been prepared a long time ago, but after beating the game, it is natural to open the fire and add vegetables, and the wild vegetables every day Du Yunyong is nothing when he eats it, and he is still strong when he has kung fu to maintain his health, but Du Yunshu is a little girl who is growing her body and has yellow muscles and thin muscles every day. After a few bites, he left all the pheasants for his sister to eat, and Du Yunyong prepared the fragrant and freshly prepared hare meat to the village chief first. Finalize your itinerary for tomorrow.

"Knock knock" two very elegant knocks on the door, and a woman's inquiry came from inside the door, "Who, it's dark this day, why don't you talk about it tomorrow?" ”

"I'm Xiaoyong, Auntie can't help it, I'm going to send you and the village chief a taste of the hare meat I just caught. Du Yunyong's flattering voice came from outside the door.

"Squeak" The courtyard door opened, and a middle-aged woman half-opened the door and saw Du Yunyong, who was holding rabbit meat at the door, showed a smile on her face, and said politely: "Who should I be, it turns out to be the eldest nephew, come in, hey, you really have a heart." After speaking, he shouted at the house, "The old man is coming out, Yun Yong's eldest nephew is here to bring us rabbit meat." ”

After finishing speaking, he reached out and grabbed the rabbit meat in Du Yunyong's hand, as if he was afraid that Du Yunyong would regret it again.

The door of the hall opened, and a middle-aged man slowly walked out, walked up to Du Yunyong calmly and said slowly: "Xiao Yong, don't be polite in the future, your father won't have a good relationship with me when he tries again, you can say something." ”

"Hehe" Du Yunyong smiled in his heart, what he said in this meeting, if he was really a fifteen-year-old boy, he would believe it.

The thought in his heart was not brought to his face, Du Yunyong said with a grateful face: "Uncle Village, thank you and your aunt for your care over the years, Shu'er and I can have today's day, this bit of game is not enough to thank you two, and I will send some game to honor you when you get from hunting in the future." ”

When the village chief heard this, he was shocked and at the same time happy, he had never taken care of these two orphans over the years, and today this child should have asked me for such a gesture.

"Oh, the eldest nephew is polite, taking care of you is my duty as the village chief, I don't know if the eldest nephew has anything else?" Du Yunyong said respectfully with a smile on his face: "Uncle Village, Xiao Yong is lucky to hunt a hare, and I want to go to the town with you tomorrow to see the world." By the way, I bought the rabbit skin, and I bought some gifts in exchange for some money, honoring my uncle and aunt, and chatting about my heart. ”

Hearing this, the village chief was shocked, this son is not simple, it seems that his father did not teach him more when he was alive. I never paid attention to it before, but now it seems that I will need to pay more attention to it in the future.

"Xiao Yong, if you have something in the future, you must tell the uncle, you come over tomorrow, and the uncle will take you to the town. The village chief patted Du Yunyong's shoulder and said with a smile.

After finalizing the arrangements for tomorrow, Du Yunyong returned home and disposed of the cheetah's fur, although he really didn't want to do it, but he was helpless. The lean meat room is processed and hidden in a few large jars of pickles in the kitchen. The fur of the cheetah is large, and the fur of the unknown hare is so easy to handle that it has to be dried at home for several days before it can be brought and sold. Tell Hao Shu'er to dry her fur in the kitchen, so that no one else will find out. Du Yunyong went back to his room to rest.

A day of hunting and life and death made him feel a lot, and he needed to sort it out, as if he was back at that time in the old days.

Time is spent unconsciously in meditation and operation of "Bagua Hun Yuan Health Preservation Gong". Hearing only a rooster crow, Du Yunyong opened his eyes that were deeply hidden and prepared to go to the village chief's house to take a ride.

A sturdy horse with short limbs pulls a cart full of firewood. The village chief sat in front of him in a carriage and carried a small baggage. The baggage should be the fur of some hares or other small beasts. Du Yunyong sat on the firewood and carried a small bag on his back, which contained the fur of a hare and the beautiful feathers of a pheasant.

An hour later, a small town appeared in front of Du Yunyong's eyes. The low city walls surround the town, and as for the moat, it is only found in cities above the county seat.

"Uncle Village, Xiao Yong is coming to this town for the first time, and I want to take a look around first, or let's make an appointment to meet here. Du Yunyong said respectfully.

"Okay, then we'll see you here from time to time. "The village chief went to sell firewood and furs to buy goods by the way, and he didn't want Du Yunyong to know the Tao inside. Seeing Du Yunyong say this, he naturally readily agreed.

Du Yunyong had just turned around and hadn't taken two steps when he heard the village chief say behind him

"Be young and vigorous, don't make trouble. ”

"The village chief can rest assured, Xiao Yong has written it down. Du Yunyong stopped and smiled slightly.

The town is not large, and the radius is only about three miles, but it is quite prosperous, and there are all walks of life. When it came to the town, Du Yunyong realized that the words used in this world were Xiaoshu. Fortunately, I read ancient books by myself, and it is not a problem to like calligraphy and literacy, and I can make do with writing, after all, I am still a little unaccustomed.

After several shops engaged in the leather business, Du Yunyong also asked about the price, and it turned out that a relatively complete hare skin was collected in the town for fifteen copper coins. And at the village chief, even the meat and skin can be exchanged for eight copper coins.

Du Yunyong exchanged the hare's fur for fifteen copper coins and walked around the town. Get acquainted with the town's surroundings.

When I walked to a street, I found that there was a lot of excitement in front of me, and there were many vendors setting up stalls. Before getting closer, Du Yunyong understood why this place was so lively. It's all a place for entertainment. There are as many as three gambling houses with gambling words hanging at the door.

Seeing the gambling house, Du Yunyong was quite emotional. In his previous life, he started gambling when he was less than thirteen years old, and he suffered big losses in gambling many times, but he still did not change his life and was addicted to gambling. I once had a serious illness when I returned home because I didn't care about eating and drinking for a few days of studying. Almost died, thanks to a few good brothers who took care of him, and later it was his aunt who found a home remedy to save his life.

The past came back to me bit by bit. Du Yunyong has not gambled for a long time, and he has not dared to gamble since he met a noble person in his previous life, for fear of missing the opportunity. I don't have much time or heart to gamble when I come back to make a career.

Standing at the door of the gambling house now, I feel like I have returned to the world I used to be.

After tidying up his clothes, Du Yunyong walked towards the smallest of the three gambling houses, called Jixiang Gambling House. The two big men guarding the door were fierce and vicious, and when they saw Du Yunyong's shabby clothes and eyes, they stretched out their hands to prevent Du Yunyong from entering, "Hey, poor boy, do you have the money to go in and gamble?"

Du Yunyong was not angry at all, arched his hand and said with a smile on his face: "The two big brothers are really such a hot day, you are brothers from all over the world, and the two big brothers take it to drink tea." After speaking, he stuffed a copper coin into the hands of the two big men without leaving a trace.

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, and raise your hand not to give the gift. When the two big men heard the good words, they had face and benefits, so they naturally smiled, and let Du Yunyong in.

Stepping into the gambling hall, Du Yunyong smiled meaningfully and said, "It's been a long time!"
