Because Li Jun was adopted and not Old Man Li's biological son, he wasn't very able to integrate into the village after Old Man Li passed away.
He didn't want to listen to the gossips in the village, so he simply went all out and built a house halfway up the mountain, where he lived a very comfortable life by himself.
Tang Baozhu was so engrossed in her thoughts that she fell asleep without realizing it.
I've been so tired these past two days. I finally got to rest, so I must go to sleep and get some proper rest.
When I woke up the next day, it was already broad daylight, possibly around nine or ten o'clock.
I didn't want to move at all while lying in bed, but I couldn't hold on in the end because I was too hungry.
I went straight into the space to wash up, took out the breakfast I had prepared in advance, and ate it for now.
While eating breakfast, she was also thinking about things. She had met the hunter Li Jun yesterday. He was indeed tall and big, and looked very robust.
However, it's not accurate to say he's ugly; he gives off a very safe and reliable feeling.
Although the two hadn't spoken much, and Li Jun was clearly the quiet and reserved type, he must have feelings for the girl, otherwise he wouldn't have been paying so much attention to Tang Baozhu.
In her previous life, after the young girl married a gigolo, Li Jun left the village. No one knew where he went. The last time they met was when the young girl was in a spirit state, and he saw her collecting her body.
Tang Baozhu felt that ancient times were the most troublesome. If you didn't get married, it was impossible, with too much gossip. It was much better to be in the modern world, where you could stay single for life and no one would care.
After eating and drinking her fill, Tang Baozhu put the dishes and chopsticks into her spatial storage and asked the robot to help her tidy up. She was determined to give the house a good cleaning today.
The scholar's father's belongings should also be placed in a separate room, and burned for him on the 49th day after his death. The entire room that was ransacked by the hooligan yesterday, even if it's not very messy, should still be tidied up.
Tang Baozhu's room was on the right side of the main living room, while her father, the scholar, originally lived on the left side, which was considered the larger room.
Living alone in such a big house, I'll put away all the good stuff for now, and take out the things I need temporarily from my space.
Luckily, I hid everything last night, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have been able to keep much. In my past life, I was robbed of so much, yet I didn't even have the slightest sense of vigilance.
I was tidying up the room when I heard a knock on the door.
Tang Baozhu stepped forward, stood behind the door, and asked softly, "Who is it?"
The knocking stopped, and then a deep male voice said, "It's me."
Tang Baozhu touched her ear. The sound made her heart itch. Fortunately, she remembered that the voice belonged to the young girl's fiancé, Li Jun.
Tang Baozhu seemed unsurprised by his arrival. Having absorbed the little girl's memories, she knew that Li Jun was actually quite nice to her.
Every few days, she would bring meat over, but the young girl was inherently attracted to the pretty boy type of men, so she didn't really like Li Jun. However, because of her father and the arranged marriage, she didn't say that she didn't like him.
Tang Baozhu opened the door and saw Li Jun carrying a pheasant, which was tall and looked very energetic.
In her opinion, Commander Li is much better looking than that pretty boy Li Fugui; it's just that the young girl has bad taste.
"Brother Li, is there something you need?"
This wasn't Tang Baozhu's first time venturing into the ancient world; she knew how to be reserved.
When Li Jun saw Tang Baozhu, he clearly had a lot to say, but as soon as he saw her, he couldn't say a word.
He was annoyed at himself for being so clumsy with his tongue. He wondered if Baozhu would dislike him.
Unconsciously, it lowered its head, looking like a listless puppy.
At least that's what Tang Baozhu thought, which made her want to tease him without realizing it. "Brother Li, if there's nothing else, I'll go in first."
When Li Jun heard that she was going inside, he quickly looked up and handed her the pheasant in his hand. "Baozhu, you've lost a lot of weight these past few days. This is a pheasant I specially hunted for you on the mountain. You should eat more and take good care of yourself. I'll bring you more tomorrow, so please don't be shy."
Worried that Baozhu wouldn't accept it, Li Jun stuffed the pheasant into Baozhu's hand and then turned and left.
Tang Baozhu watched as he walked faster and faster, as if a dog was chasing him, until in the end he was running.
I think Li Jun is a really interesting person. He was clearly very concerned, and his ears were even red, but he just couldn't say it.
However, she also noticed that Li Jun was not good with words. No wonder the girl ran off with someone else in her previous life. One was always talking sweet words, and the other was like a mute. It seems that the girl can't be blamed for choosing a pretty boy.
Tang Baozhu looked at the pheasant in her hand and suddenly remembered that she had to observe three years of mourning and wondered if she could eat meat.
After carefully recalling the little girl's memories, I learned that she could not eat meat for a year, and after that year she had to continue observing mourning. For the remaining two years, she could eat meat, but she could not do good things like holding banquets.
Since I can't eat it, and I don't know why that idiot brought it to me, the thought of having to eat only vegetables and radishes every day for the next year and not being able to eat meat makes me feel a little sad.
Looks like I'll be turning into a rabbit next year.
The pheasant in my hand has already been cleaned and is ready to be stewed. Since it can't be eaten, I'll smoke it into jerky.
Once the gate was closed, it blocked the view of others. Those idle old women in the village love to gossip about others. They just saw Li Jun come over, and who knows what kind of stories they'll tell him.
Tang Baozhu spent the whole day tidying up and finally managed to put the scholar's father's things in a separate room. All the rooms were cleaned up and spotless.
They also found a small plot of land in the backyard, but unfortunately, there was nothing to grow vegetables or grains on it. Instead, they planted two peach trees.
The trees were already quite large, at least ten years old. After carefully searching my memory, I discovered that these two peach trees were older than Baozhu herself.
Some peach blossoms have bloomed up here, but if you want to eat peaches, it will be several more months.
Tang Baozhu has memories of being a little girl, and in those memories, the peaches from those two trees were especially delicious.
Every time the peaches ripen, some mischievous kids come to steal them, climbing over the wall to pick them secretly.
Every time, the scholar's father would be scared half to death and would immediately open the door and let them in, otherwise he would definitely be held responsible if they fell while climbing the wall.
