Chapter 327: Leisurely Time



After that, Hu Lingshang applied the medicine and the situation stabilized. Since the crisis situation has been resolved, the necessity of night watch has been temporarily reduced. But as the saying goes, it is better to be safe than sorry. Since it has been decided, we should continue to execute it. After all, this is the wilderness. In addition, looking at Yunwen's expression, it seems that there is another hidden story. It is better to be safe than sorry.

After finishing these things, I left the room for the girls to sleep on, and I was going to go downstairs to keep watch. Before going downstairs, Hu Lingshang asked me, "Zhou Lang, when my injuries get better, can I continue to stay here? First, I also want to live a human life, and second, you and your sisters are here, and I am reluctant to leave, so I want to stay for a few more days. I wonder if Zhou Lang can agree?"

To be honest, I don't feel that the crisis is truly over yet, so it's a bit hasty to let her leave now, so I nodded and said, "Okay, I think Sanfu and the little red foxes will have a companion. Anyway, you foxes can't eat our grains and cereals here, and you won't consume our food. You can also help, so I don't have anything to say. Why don't you stay for a while? There's no need to make a decision in a hurry."

The other two girls had no objections, and Yunwen was even more happy about it, so the deal was temporarily reached.

Afterwards, I went downstairs and stayed on duty for half the night. Thinking about how well Yunwen knew the curser Peter, and how she looked worried when we talked about his head being cut off and falling off the cliff, the more I thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. However, Hu Lingshang and Bai Lu were already convinced that the guy was dead, so I couldn't bear to discuss it any further. Now that I have thought a lot, I plan to find a day to quietly go to the cliff where the guy fell to see what happened.

Just like that, for a long time in the future, Hu Lingshang and the little red foxes around her will temporarily live with us. Since we know that the curser will not cause any trouble for the time being, we haven't paid attention to that aspect recently. We are mostly thinking about some daily life things. Since Song Yingchun left, the courtyard was filled with laughter again.

Hu Lingshang is indeed very capable. She can go to the sky and the ground, fight and rush. However, she is really a blank slate when it comes to life. Her hands are very clumsy and she can't do anything well. Just teaching her how to irrigate the farmland, she learns very well, but it's not the same when she does it herself. Some places are too flooded, and some places are not irrigated at all. This has happened again and again, and I am almost desperate.

Not to mention that Yunwen was kind enough to teach her some writing skills and word recognition. She wrote with a charcoal pen for three or four days and thought she had made progress. However, when she took a look at the words, she felt it was a compliment to say they were just scribbles, not to mention recognizing them. Bailu also taught her some daily dishes and cooking, which was also one of the things she wanted to experience. Needless to say, except for a few silver objects, everything else was basically broken into pieces without exception. The dishes made were so disgusting that even pigs would find them disgusting.

Yunwen, Bailu and I thought that we could only ask her to do the simplest things on a daily basis, such as wiping the table with a rag and sweeping the floor with a broom made of wheat straw. This girl couldn't control her strength and the table was broken by the wiping, and the room was full of dust when she swept the floor. After she finished sweeping, we came out of the house coughing, our faces covered with dirt, really covered in dust.

As expected, there is always a trade-off. She only has a human form, but she is a complete idiot when it comes to doing anything that has to do with humans. Not only is she an idiot, but she can't learn anything. Remember that Song Yingchun once called Yunwen a vase, but if she were still alive, comparing Yunwen with Lingshang, Yunwen would be a genius and not a vase at all.

Unfortunately, we don't expect her to do these jobs, so when arranging daily work, I asked her to take care of one thing, which is to look after the house and help keep an eye out for any threats around. It would be fine if I were to be her "bodyguard", but if I let her get involved in other things, she would definitely get into trouble.

However, the only advantage of her being here is that she is cheerful, lively, active and smart, so she is first-rate in dealing with interpersonal relationships. When she stays here, she usually doesn't cause trouble like Song Yingchun. Although she can't work, she is obedient and likable, which makes everyone get along relatively harmoniously. Therefore, using her as a lubricant is just the right thing to do.

On the other hand, ever since Bai Lu thought Yingchun's revenge had been taken, she was no longer so taciturn and her temperament became much more cheerful. In addition to cooking, cleaning, washing dishes and doing odd jobs every day, she would often follow Hu Lingshang out with the red foxes to collect fruits, collect herbs, and start her favorite task of organizing medicinal materials and food ingredients. She began to have confidence and hope in life.

Yunwen and I are the relatively sober pair in the team. We have never let down our guard, so we spent a day letting Bailu and Lingshang look after the house. We rode Sanfu to the coast under the cliff that Lingshang mentioned to take a look. Although we didn't see anything, we also didn't find anything unusual, so we felt relieved for the time being.

If that guy had the possibility of landing on the shore, he would definitely leave some bloodstains. Now is not high tide, if he stayed on the shore, there would definitely be clues and he would not be immediately washed away by the sea water. Therefore, it can be concluded that the guy was most likely washed away by the waves and may really be dead.

In addition to these things, because many red foxes came, and the Sanfu stable had not been completed yet, Yunwen, Bailu and I also took the time to build a stable with cement and red bricks, and built a wide and large trough with wooden mortise and tenon technology. This trough is divided into two sections, one is specifically for the Sanfu to eat grass, and the other is for drinking and changing water. The stable was specially built larger, and a lot of hay was spread on the ground, so the red foxes could stay there and have each other's company.

A bed was also made on the first floor where Bai Lu used to sleep. I had originally planned to sleep there alone, but the girls strongly requested that I sleep on the second floor with them. So it became the bed in the duty room, used during the night watch shifts. This way, I didn't have to sit on the chair at the dining table during the night watch, which would cause back pain.

That's how things went every day. Hu Lingshang would take the fox tribe to look for food everywhere, and talk to us after coming back. When we all went to work and she had nothing to do, she would take out the Yinshi Pot to harmonize yin and yang to help improve her cultivation. When we finished our work and it was almost evening, she would have dinner with us, but she would just drink some ginseng tea.

It's already June and the weather has started to get a little hot. Sometimes after dinner, we go to the backyard to take a bath together.

We now have a large barrel of wheat in the warehouse, which can be made into flour with a stone mill. It is enough for the three of us to eat until autumn and winter. We also have black fungus, wild vegetables, fruits, honey, etc., and the pickled bacon, which we have eaten sparingly, so we now have a piece of beef, two venison legs, and three pickled fish. This is the time when we have the most food on the island.

During this period, although Yunwen and I were still worried about the curser who fell into the sea, since he never showed up, we were not so concerned. Instead, we lived in this happy pastoral life, surrounded by beauties, three beautiful women, delicious food and drinks, and lived a happy and carefree life.

More than two weeks passed in a blink of an eye, and it was mid-June. The sun was shining brightly, the birds were singing, and the flowers were blooming. It was a prosperous scene. We were sitting at the dining table eating delicious meals and drinking freshly brewed milk. Hu Lingshang took the red foxes to find food, so there were only three of us here: Yunwen, Bailu, and I.

After eating two bites of fresh rice, some pickles and drinking some fresh milk, I felt really happy.

"Brother Zhou Bo, the weather is so good today, so I have an unreasonable request, I hope you will agree to it." Bai Lu said.

"What's the matter? Is it about Song Yingchun?" I asked.

She nodded and said, "She has been dead for 49 days. I want to go see her. Is it possible?"

I calculated that Song Yingchun died around May, so it seems to be about the same time now. But thinking that I am alone with Bailu, Yunwen will be worried, so I suggested: "How about this, since we are all stuck at home every day, why don't we go out for a walk together and sweep Yingchun's grave? How about it?"

The girls nodded immediately. It seemed that this proposal was exactly what they wanted.
