The man remained motionless, like a dead fish.
Fearing trouble, Zhang the hunter tried to push the man back into the water.
While untying the fishing net, I accidentally saw that the other person had an incredibly beautiful face, and I couldn't push them away.
He checked under the man's nose and found that he was still breathing. After thinking for a moment, he dragged the man home.
Granddaughter Zhang Niu'er saw it and came over to watch the commotion, sucking her fingers.
"Bring Grandpa some clothes."
Zhang the hunter directed.
Although the girl is mentally challenged, she still understands simple instructions.
After hearing her grandfather's words, she ran to the porch and grabbed a set of clothes.
"Grandpa, here you go."
Zhang the hunter had just wiped the mud off the man's face when he turned around and saw that it was a woman's outfit. He sighed.
"Silly girl, I asked you to take Grandpa's clothes, not yours."
The girl stared at him blankly with her big eyes.
Zhang the hunter had no choice but to go and retrieve it himself.
After retrieving the girl, he chased her out and changed the man into clean clothes.
This man was so handsome that even in a coarse cloth robe, he exuded an imposing presence that made people afraid to look directly at him.
If his daughter could find a grandson-in-law like that, he would be willing to die on the spot, it would all be worth it.
However, such a person must be either very rich or very powerful, and is beyond his reach.
It would be good enough if they could gain even a little bit of gratitude.
The man lay in bed all afternoon without waking up, and developed a fever in the evening. Zhang the hunter brewed some herbal medicine and fed it to him.
I got up several times during the night, afraid that the man had burned to death.
She only felt relieved and went to sleep after seeing the temperature on the man's forehead gradually decrease.
The next day, when I woke up, I heard my daughter angrily saying outside, "I picked it up, you can't take it from me."
Thinking it was some village kids trying to snatch the girl's things, he quickly put on his coat and got up.
When they went outside, they found only the man and the girl they had rescued the day before.
The two men were fighting over a large rock; the man was stronger and snatched it away in the blink of an eye.
The little girl burst into tears.
"Bad guy, big bad guy!"
The man hugged the stone tightly to his chest and said sternly, "I picked it up first and put it here. You didn't pick it up."
"I found it!"
"You didn't pick it up."
"I found it!"
"..."
The two argued louder and louder until Zhang the Hunter's head ached from the noise. He yelled, "Shut up!"
The man and the girl both fell silent, glanced at him, and then started arguing again.
Zhang, the hunter, sighed.
I went to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of noodles. When the girl smelled the aroma of the noodles, she finally gave up on the big rock and came over to eat.
The man hugged the stone and started counting the ants on the ground.
Hunter Zhang squatted down in front of the man, held up one finger, and asked him, "How many is this?"
The man looked up and glanced at him, then replied, "Two."
Zhang the Hunter: "..."
So handsome, yet he's an idiot?
When asked his name, where he lived, and why he was in the river, the man shook his head and said, "I don't remember."
When Zhang the hunter changed his clothes, he didn't notice any tokens on him. Although the clothes were of very good quality, he couldn't tell what style they were.
Getting him back won't be easy.
But keeping this person around isn't a solution either.
Having one mentally challenged child is already enough of a headache for him; having another one would be like asking for trouble.
Just as he was thinking this, the man touched his stomach, as if he was hungry.
Just as Zhang the hunter was about to ask him if he wanted noodles, the man stood up, holding the stone in his arms, walked to the tree, broke off a branch, went straight to the riverbank, and speared a fish into the water.
After spearing the fish, he didn't ask for a knife. Instead, he picked up pieces of bamboo left over from the hunters' bamboo-cutting and quickly scaled and gutted the fish.
Only then did they turn back and ask Zhang the hunter for fire.
Zhang the hunter was both surprised and suspicious.
Isn't this man an idiot? How can he catch and kill fish by himself?
The speed with which he speared the fish was faster than anyone else he had ever achieved in his years of fishing and hunting.
He gave the man a tinderbox, and the man gathered some branches, lit a fire, and started grilling the fish.
He held that stone in his arms again while grilling the fish.
After observing it, Zhang the hunter noticed that the rock was about the size of a child's head and looked strange. He had never seen it before and guessed that the man had picked it up from the river.
I don't know why he treasures a stone so much.
The aroma of fish gradually wafted out. The man smelled it, frowned, walked to the riverbank for a while, and picked a handful of wild grass.
Squeezing the juice of wild herbs onto the fish makes it taste incredibly delicious when grilled.
Even the little glutton, who was already tired of eating fish, was attracted over.
Zhang the hunter had lived here for decades and never knew that the wild grass by the river could be used to grill fish.
He moved closer to the man, about to ask, when the man glared at him and said, "The fish is mine."
Zhang the Hunter: "..."
He didn't intend to steal the fish!
"I just want to ask, how did you know this grass could be used to grill fish?"
The man closed his eyes and tried hard to recall, then replied, "I don't remember."
"Then how do you remember catching, killing, and grilling fish?"
The man was stunned.
"have no idea."
Having said that, seeing that the fish was cooked, he began to eat it.
Zhang the hunter thought to himself, could this man be like his daughter, not born stupid, but becoming stupid because of something that happened to him?
If that's the case, he wouldn't be a bad candidate for grandson-in-law.
The girl watched the man eat fish and her mouth watered.
Seeing this, the man gave her a piece of the fish tail.
The girl started eating heartily, but suddenly stopped halfway through.
Zhang, the hunter, thought she had a fishbone stuck in her throat and was about to help her remove it when he saw the girl take out her unfinished noodles, stuff them into the man's hand, and say with a simple smile, "You eat."
The man glanced at it and pushed the bowl back.
"don't want."
"You eat it!"
"It has saliva, it's dirty."
The girl didn't know what "dirty" meant, and seeing that the man refused to eat, she started eating it herself.
Zhang the hunter watched their interaction and felt increasingly satisfied.
Although this man is foolish, he is not one to keep everything to himself. He also has some hunting skills, so he should be able to protect the girl in the future.
In addition, she is good-looking, so her great-grandchildren will definitely be good-looking in the future.
The Zhang family might just prosper from this.
Zhang the hunter became more and more excited as he thought about it.
After the man finished eating the fish, she asked him, "How about letting our girl be your wife?"
The man glanced at the girl and said seriously, "My wife is prettier than her."
Zhang the Hunter: "..."
No, you're an idiot, how would you know anything about aesthetics?
“The girl will look even better in her red wedding dress,” Zhang the hunter laughed. “You’ll definitely like her.”
The words "red wedding dress" seemed to stir the man's thoughts. He covered his forehead, frowned for a moment, and replied, "I think I've already had a wedding ceremony."
Hunter Zhang: "!!!"
Has this fool actually gotten married?
"Do you still remember what the person you married looked like?"
He pressed for an answer.
If he were the son-in-law of a wealthy and powerful family, he might have to return it to them.
The man thought for a moment and replied, "I remember, it was a man, a little younger than you, but not good-looking either."
Zhang the hunter was dumbfounded.
So what he fished out was a rabbit figurine?
