After returning to the shop, Jiang Cheng and Song Tingzhi lived a relatively stable life.
Just as Jiang Cheng had thought before, Song Tingzhi bought tofu in the morning, and he took the children, fed the ewes, and cooked a meal.
After finishing his meal and taking a short nap, Jiang Cheng got up to sell tofu pudding. Just like last year, Jiang Cheng made cold tofu pudding, which sold very well!
The daily revenue from the shop is pretty good!
That evening, when Song Tingzhi came back from the mountain for the first time, he told Jiang Cheng a coincidence.
"Guess who I met on the mountain today?" Song Tingzhi asked mysteriously.
"Who did you meet when you went to the mountain gate? Xiao Hui's parents?" Jiang Cheng joked.
(Little Gray is a wolf)
"If that's the case, you might not be able to see me anymore!" Song Tingzhi said with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Jiang Cheng glared at him and hit Doudou's hand.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore!" Song Tingzhi held Jiang Cheng and Doudou's hands. "Your sister's husband is Zhang the Hunter."
"Zhang the Hunter?" Jiang Cheng frowned, then became curious about what kind of person he was. "What's he like?"
Even though Jiang Cheng’s relationship with the Jiang family has been severed, he still hopes that Jiang Caiyun can live a good life!
"He looks quite honest, with a scar between his eyebrows." Song Tingzhi gestured near his eyes, "He seems to know that you are my husband, and he even congratulated me on the birth of my little brother!"
"This village is so small, how could we not know anything about it? That's not surprising!" Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and said, "There aren't many young and strong hunters around here. Besides you and Hunter Zhang, I don't think I've heard of any other hunters!"
Jiang Cheng has been married to the Song family for two years, but she has never heard of other hunters in the village.
"Hmm..." Song Tingzhi nodded and told Jiang Cheng about a strange thing that happened before. "More than ten years ago, the nearby villages all lived by the mountains and relied on the mountains for their livelihood. There were many hunters. You could see many people hunting when you went up the mountain."
"At first, everyone thought they could live off this mountain and be hunters forever, so they stopped farming. But as the years passed, the game on the mountain became less and less, and gradually, strange things began to happen."
Song Tingzhi paused, and Jiang Cheng nudged him to continue.
"Once, a few people went up the mountain to hunt, but no one returned at night. Their families became worried, and several villages rushed to look for them. They only found their bodies."
"How could this happen? Is it because of poor skills?" Jiang Cheng asked.
"No." Song Tingzhi shook his head. "Those guys were all top-notch fighters. It's said that when they found him, his body was bitten to pieces. It was a terrible sight!"
"At first, everyone thought it was an accident. But after a few consecutive incidents with the same result, rumors started to spread that the mountain god was angry and wanted to bury all hunters who entered the mountain with him! Gradually, not many people wanted to be hunters anymore!"
"Could it be that someone is deliberately being mysterious?" Jiang Cheng guessed.
"I'm not sure about that. I only know that the county government sent people to investigate the case, but they didn't find any traces. As time went by, it was left unresolved."
Song Tingzhi said, "Maybe the mountain god was really angry! After all, almost all the prey in the mountains were extinct at that time!"
"No wonder you stop hunting for a period of time every year. It's because..." Before Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Song Tingzhi spoke.
"In order to allow the creatures in the mountains to recuperate for a period of time, even if there are hunters again, they will not hunt as recklessly as before. They will just stop when they are ahead!" said Song Tingzhi.
If you make the mountain god angry again, who can withstand his wrath?
After hearing this strange story, Jiang Cheng felt more awed by the mountain in the village.
"By the way, I have stewed some egg custard in the pot. You can go and have some!" Jiang Cheng remembered that the egg custard in the pot was ready, so he asked Song Tingzhi to go over and have some.
Song Tingzhi nodded, and when he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something, "Oh, right, it seems that the eggs that no one had sent to our house before were sent by Zhang the Hunter. He mentioned it to me when he was talking to me! I almost forgot!"
Xu Sanniang had searched for the person in the village for a long time but couldn't find him, so she didn't deliver the person. Unexpectedly, she would get some news just by going to the mountain casually.
"Did Jiang Caiyun ask you to deliver it?" Jiang Cheng asked curiously.
"Maybe!" Song Tingzhi was not sure either.
"Anyway, you should give them a wedding gift next time!" Jiang Cheng thought that no matter what the situation was, the necessary etiquette should be followed!
"Okay!" Song Tingzhi nodded and went to the woodshed to eat egg custard.
Jiang Cheng touched Doudou's face and recalled the time when Chen Mei had just married Jiang Maocai.
At that time, Jiang Caiyun had just come to the Jiang family with Chen Mei. She was still a lovely little girl. Jiang Cheng was two years older than her and would take Jiang Caiyun to the village to play from time to time.
At that time, Jiang Caiyun would always follow him and call him brother, brother, the two of them had a very good relationship!
But within a year, the two children no longer had the same close feeling as before.
When did Jiang Caiyun stop calling him brother? When did Jiang Caiyun start avoiding him? When did Jiang Caiyun become as cold and sarcastic towards him as Shen Mei?
Jiang Cheng couldn't remember clearly either. Maybe it was something Chen Mei said to Jiang Caiyun after she found out that Jiang Maocai was not as rich and capable as the matchmaker said?
Or... or what? Whatever the reason, what happened before has already happened. What's the point of thinking about it now?
Jiang Cheng touched Doudou's little hand, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
He couldn't remember what Jiang Caiyun looked like when she was a child. Maybe people keep changing from the moment they are born!
Jiang Cheng kissed Doudou's little hand, and seeing that he was sleeping soundly, he tiptoed out.
Jiang Cheng asked Song Tingzhi to look after the child for a while while he went to buy a wedding gift for Jiang Caiyun. Jiang Cheng was afraid that Song Tingzhi, a grown man, might not make the right choice, so he decided to go by himself.
Jiang Cheng went to a jewelry store and bought a silver bracelet for Jiang Caiyun, choosing one that symbolized a happy marriage.
Jiang Cheng asked the waiter to wrap the box more nicely. After the waiter finished, Jiang Cheng took the box back.
On the way back, Jiang Cheng suddenly noticed a familiar person, it was Niu Er!
Jiang Cheng saw that he was looking around and didn't look serious, so he wanted to follow him to see what was going on.
As a result, he lost him after just a few steps. There were too many people on the street, Niu Er did not stand out in the crowd, and his clothes were similar to others. Naturally, Jiang Cheng could not catch up with him.
Since he couldn't catch the person, Jiang Cheng went back and just talked to Song Tingzhi.
Song Tingzhi didn't take it seriously. The two of them mentioned it and the matter was over.
Jiang Cheng handed the bracelet he bought to Song Tingzhi and asked him to bring it to Taohua Village for Jiang Caiyun next time he went up the mountain.
Song Tingzhi nodded.
