Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Will you always be pleased with me? - Of course...
Tian Ge woke up in a daze, raised his chest, and opened his mouth to breathe involuntarily.
My whole body is numb.
For a moment, he thought he was dreaming.
Until I lifted the quilt and saw Qin Xiong crawling out from inside.
Before I could react, my lips were kissed.
Some strange taste.
Having just woken up, her whole body was still soft and her mind was still confused. Tian Ge just grabbed Qin Xiong's arm, was kissed by him, and turned her head to look out the window.
It was already daybreak, and it looked like he hadn't slept for long.
Didn’t you say you wouldn’t give it to him? And you were so stingy this morning, not even letting him kiss you. What happened?
But the body is very honest.
want to.
This time it was really Qin Xiong who provoked him first. Tian Ge reached out and hugged Qin Xiong's neck tightly, not letting him push her away.
"Xiao Ge'er." Qin Xiong looked at him with his dark eyes and suddenly called him.
Tian Ge nodded in response and kicked the quilt away with his foot. He was sweating all over and his body was extremely hot.
It was just a shout, and there was no follow-up. Qin Xiong laughed twice, wiped the sweat from Tian Ge's forehead, and buried his head in eating the man who had just woken up.
When Tian Ge regretted it later, it was too late.
He was kept in suspense this morning, and he shouldn't have been so submissive. He should have kept Qin Xiong in suspense for a while to let him experience the feeling of being able to see but not be able to eat.
"Today is the second day of the spring tide. It should be over tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Qin Xiong lay flat on his back, holding Tian Ge on his chest, and his big hands stroked Tian Ge's back again and again.
Although it was broad daylight, there were only the husband and wife at home, so they were free to do anything.
Tian Ge was satisfied and felt comfortable being touched by Qin Xiong.
The hand suddenly stopped, and he moved twice to express his dissatisfaction, so Qin Xiong continued to touch his back, and he sighed deeply with comfort.
"I just washed clothes outside. The sun is nice today, so they will be dry soon."
Tian Ge nodded, and her hands were not honest, rubbing back and forth on Qin Xiong's chest and abdomen, which felt quite good, and occasionally scratching them.
"Tian Er passed by our house while cutting firewood. He just asked about you, but when he heard you were still asleep, he didn't stay any longer."
His father, brother and sister-in-law must be worried about him. Tian Ge remembered that he would go home to report that he was safe as soon as he felt better.
"Although the spring tide has passed, Xiaoge still troubled me to go into the mountains with me in a few days."
Qin Xiong did not symbolically ask Tian Ge whether she wanted to go back to her father's house or go up the mountain with him.
If it were in the past, Qin Xiong would definitely ask, or even help Tian Ge make the decision.
Logically, it is cold and dangerous in the mountains, so Tian Ge would definitely be much more comfortable staying at his father's house.
But since he had a quarrel with Tian Ge a few days ago, Qin Xiong didn't want to be polite to Tian Ge anymore.
He couldn't bear to be separated for more than a month, such a long time.
-----I was going to go with you.
Tian Ge smiled.
Qin Xiong has been wondering these days why he and Tian Ge are having a quarrel.
Why Xiaogeer didn't want to tell him some things.
Later I figured it out a little bit.
Isn't he the same?
He thought it would be better for Tian Ge to stay at her father's house and wait for him to come back, but in fact he was being wronged as he couldn't see his husband for more than a month.
Tian Ge thought that it would be better not to tell the villagers about the gossip they were saying, so that they would have less trouble. However, in fact, he was also being wronged invisibly.
Tian Ge is a very smart boy. He has been good at observing people's expressions and being considerate of everyone around him since he was a child.
Qin Xiong has often reflected on this in recent days, wondering whether he was the one who gave Tian Ge such a signal.
This is how he treated Tian Ge rationally, so Tian Ge treated him in the same way.
"Will you always be fond of me?" Qin Xiong asked suddenly, in the same casual tone as before, but listening carefully, he could see uncertainty and uneasiness hidden in his voice.
Tian Ge was stunned by the question, but he quickly reacted.
-----certainly.
......
Three days later.
Tian Ge stood at the door, checking the things on the car floor.
Needless to say, rice, flour, grain, oil, clothes, quilts...
It was just dawn.
They are going into the mountains today.
The last thing is to put Qin Bao’s living expenses for the next two months in his room.
In the morning light, the three of them, plus two hunting dogs, set out into the mountains.
There was still a layer of frost on the ground, so they walked very carefully.
Qin Xiong walked in front, pulling a cart.
Wu Ping'an walked at the end and Tian Ge walked in the middle.
Dahuang and Erhuang were already familiar with the way up the mountain, and were running happily in front.
After walking through the most familiar section of the mountain road, we gradually entered an unfamiliar place overgrown with weeds.
Tian Ge knew that the road into the mountains was long, and it was almost noon, but they had not arrived yet.
The deeper you go into the mountains, the more the temperature drops.
The pine forests on the mountain are still covered with snow.
They found a flat place and rested for a while, leaning against a big tree that required several people to hug.
The exhaled breath formed a cloud of white mist in the air.
Tian Ge rubbed her hands, her originally fair cheeks turned red due to the cold wind, and a heavy coat was draped over her shoulders.
"It will take about an hour to walk there." Qin Xiong said from behind, and put a thick black felt hat on him, and touched Tian Ge's face with his rough fingers.
The coat and hat are both made of bear skin, which is very warm to wear. The length can cover the buttocks. The black color makes Tian Ge look whiter and younger.
Wu Ping'an automatically turned his back.
Only half a year had passed, and he looked much more mature.
The marriage he liked was called off because the other young man's family had found a better husband and was already married, so naturally he had nothing to do with it.
I didn't want to disturb the love between my master and his wife, but unexpectedly someone patted my shoulder. When I turned around, it was Tian Ge.
----Have a drink of water.
Tian Ge handed over the water hyacinth.
The hot water he filled before leaving was now cold, but it was still more comfortable to drink than ice-cold water.
"Thank you, Master's wife, but I don't need it." Wu Ping'an waved his hand quickly.
He had proposed marriage to Tian Ge before, and his mother had mocked Tian Ge for being mute. He felt embarrassed when he thought about it now.
Now that Tian Ge has become his master's wife, he naturally has to avoid suspicion.
"Drink it." Qin Xiong said behind him.
"Thank you." Wu Ping'an finally took it and let the warm water moisten his throat. He had been busy on his way and hadn't felt it, but now that he couldn't move, he shivered with cold.
"Master's wife, I'm sorry for the offenses I've caused you in the past. I haven't formally apologized to you yet. I was reckless and ignorant before, and I'm sorry." Wu Ping'an handed the water gourd back to Tian Ge, stood up, and said sincerely.
-----It's okay, it's all over.
Wu Ping'an has grown taller this year. He is now almost as tall as his master. When he stood up, he took a closer look at Tian Ge.
He could clearly see the love between his master and his mistress. His master was able to hunt bear skins to make a coat for his mistress, but he did not have this ability.
What's more, he doesn't even have the most basic hunting skills. No wonder the boy he likes doesn't want him.
"You should study hard this time. I won't go into the mountains often in the future." Qin Xiong suddenly said.
"Master..." Wu Ping'an was shocked and subconsciously thought that he was too stupid. His master decided not to take him with him.
He was a big guy, but he looked helpless and confused, which made him look pitiful. Tian Ge wanted to comfort him, but that was Wu Ping'an's own path and he couldn't help.
Qin Xiong handed a white flour bun to Tian Ge, pulled Tian Ge to sit on the cart together, and handed Wu Ping'an two buns. He said calmly: "I have already told Hunter Wang and Hunter Chen to ask them to ask you to come with them when they go up the mountain next time."
"Master, I will really study hard in the future." Wu Pingan said with a choked voice. On the surface, he looked calmer, but in fact, Xin'er was still the same as before, soft and soft. "I don't want to follow other hunters. I only want you to be my master."
"Your master's wife and I have decided to find other ways to make a living. I can't take you hunting anymore." Qin Xiong's tone still sounded cold. He was always like this to outsiders.
Wu Ping'an has followed him for more than two years. He was lazy in the first two years. Now he wants to study seriously, but Qin Xiong wants to leave again.
This relationship between master and disciple is still a little shallow.
"Then I'll go with my master and his wife." Wu Ping'an said quickly.
"Don't you want to learn hunting again?" Qin Xiong asked.
"I don't want to learn anymore."
There is no certainty.
"Let's talk about it later." Qin Xiong said, and the topic ended there.
Tian Ge broke off a cold steamed bun and ate it in small bites. Her eyes fell on Wu Ping'an, watching him, looking as if he was about to cry.
Qin Xiong placed his large hands on his lower back, kneading it and whispering, "Is it because the cold steamed buns don't make you feel good?"
Tian Ge withdrew his gaze.
----No, I'm just not that hungry yet.
"You must be tired."
Tian Ge nodded. The road on the mountain was difficult to walk on. It was steep, covered with snow and slippery. Even with Qin Xiong leading the way in front, he followed very slowly. Even though he walked carefully, he almost fell.
The spring tide period has just ended. After a few days of fooling around with Qin Xiong, I still feel sore and tired and don’t want to eat.
Qin Xiong held Tian Ge's warm palm and placed it on his lips, "Let's go to the house and have a good sleep."
Tian Ge smiled.
-----You've almost made me a lazy bum.
He has been eating and sleeping these days, and when he wakes up after eating, he will pester Qin Xiong and make trouble.
The couple spoke in low voices, their voices carried by the wind, and only their whispers could be heard vaguely.
Wu Ping'an squatted far away, wanting to say something but hesitant. But in the end he gave up, chewed a steamed bun alone in the cold wind, and quietly reached out to wipe his eyes.
He said he would go to bed as soon as he got to the house.
But when he arrived at the place, Tian Ge immediately rolled up his sleeves and started working inside and outside.
The house standing in the dense forest is surrounded by tall and thick wooden stakes. It looks indestructible, but the inside is full of dust and cobwebs.
Tian Ge first cleaned up the room they lived in.
-----Have you ever slept on a damp mattress like this before?
Since getting married, Qin Xiong has been accustomed to a clean and tidy life. Seeing the moldy and dirty mattress and mat again, he felt embarrassed for a rare time. "It's just a place to sleep. I used to sleep here and go down the mountain after hunting."
Tian Ge frowned, strongly disagreeing with this statement. After thinking for a while, he still felt that he could no longer keep the mattress.
It's so moldy, there might be insect eggs inside.
Fortunately, he heard that it was cold in the mountains, so he was prepared and brought all the bedding from home with him up the mountain.
Clean the house carefully, let Qin Xiong clean the cobwebs and eaves dust on the walls and roof, and open the windows for ventilation.
He went to the kitchen to boil some water, opened the kettle, and out crawled a palm-sized spider. Tian Ge was not afraid of spiders, but he was still frightened suddenly. He immediately drew some water and carefully scrubbed it several times before lighting a fire and boiling water.
Qin Xiong added firewood to the fire and just kept it burning brightly.
His husband still saw a corner of his dirty life in the past. Now he just keeps his mouth shut and works, doing whatever Tian Ge asks him to do.
He dipped the handkerchief in hot water and rubbed the wooden bed and windows carefully. The water from washing the handkerchief was muddy. He changed the water twice and rubbed the handkerchief until it did not change color. Only then did Tian Ge stop.
While waiting for the wooden bed to dry, Tian Ge suddenly hugged Qin Xiong.
He simply couldn't imagine what kind of life Qin Xiong had lived in the past.
Qin Xiong thought he would be scolded, but he didn't expect Tian Ge to hug him and comfort him like this.
Only Tian Ge would spoil him like this.
There's really nothing to comfort you about.
He was too lazy to change or wash the mattress.
He had already seen the spider webs on the walls and roof, but he hadn't cleaned them up. He'd slept in them all night, leaving in a hurry at dawn. He hadn't bothered to open the windows when the room smelled...
In fact, he now also feels ridiculous about such a terrible day.
Never again.
They hugged each other quietly for a while, and when the bed board was dry, they made the bed together.
The spread out mattress and sheets were all fragrant.
The bright red quilt cover was bought for them when they got married.
After all the cleaning, the little shabby house was transformed into a real home.
Tian Ge wanted to clean up other rooms, but was stopped by Qin Xiong.
"Those are other hunters' houses. Let them clean them up themselves."
First, Tian Ge was indeed very tired.
Besides, Qin Xiong was not so generous as to ask his husband to clean rooms for other men.
——
At this time of year, the soil on the mountain is still frozen, and it takes a lot of effort to dig out a complete ginseng.
A thin layer of sweat had formed on the tip of Qin Xiong's nose.
He saw this ginseng when he went up the mountain last year.
The older the ginseng is, the more valuable it is.
When I saw it last year, it already had six compound leaves. The growing environment of wild ginseng is harsh. Qin Xiong concluded that this ginseng must be at least ten years old.
Hard work pays off.
Finally, they dug it out intact and took a closer look at the rhizome. This wild ginseng, which was about fifteen years old, could be sold for more than ten taels of silver.
Unfortunately, I only found this one.
Qin Xiong wrapped it up, retreated back to the steep slope, looked at the daylight, and rushed to the cabin in the forest with Dahuang.
From a distance, he saw Tian Ge waiting for him at the door.
Erhuang followed Tian Ge, wagging his tail and circling around him happily, but he was well behaved and didn't rush out.
-----I'm back.
Tian Ge went to greet him happily.
"Well, it's cold outside, let's go inside quickly." Qin Xiong placed a few pine cones in his hand into Tian Ge's heart.
He picked the pine cones from the tree on his way back, and the pine nuts inside can be eaten as snacks.
He was covered in snow, with his hat and apron covering his face tightly. After closing the door, he turned around and took Tian Ge into the kitchen.
Rabbit meat was stewing in the pot with a bright flame.
When it comes to going into the mountains, meat is the most abundant thing.
Every time Qin Xiong went out, he would bring back some prey, mostly pheasants and rabbits caught in traps.
We also brought back a big one, an elk, and the processed venison has been brought back to the house.
The huge pair of deer antlers were originally hanging on the wall of the kitchen. Tian Ge felt a little scared every time he saw them.
The hardened antlers were worthless, so Qin Xiong originally intended to take them back and process them for her husband to play with.
Seeing that Tian Ge was scared, they threw him into the wild.
"Have you gone out today?" Qin Xiong took off his shoes and socks that were soaked in snow water, took the wooden basin in the corner, and poured hot water to wash his feet.
Tian Ge nodded, stood up and got some clean shoes and socks that had been dried in the oven.
It feels so comfortable to soak my feet in hot water after they are almost numb from the cold.
Fortunately, it is early spring and the weather is still cold, so my feet don’t smell after running in the mountains for a day.
"Look at this." Qin Xiong handed over the cloth bag.
-----Ginseng!
"Yes, I found it last year when I went up the mountain. It grows in a tricky spot, making it difficult for others to find. I wanted to let it grow for a few more years, but I dug it out today and it looks good from the age."
They need money now.
The cost of doing business should naturally be as high as possible.
Tian Ge touched the ginseng and felt warm in his heart.
He just had the idea of opening a shop to do business, and he had a quarrel with Qin Xiong because of this.
He never thought that Qin Xiong would support him like this.
Tian Ge brought over another small backpack and showed it to Qin Xiong.
------I was very lucky today. I brought Erhuang with me and picked a lot of rose hips.
After the frost, the wild rose hip fruit is very sweet. After drying up in the winter, it becomes a Chinese medicinal material and is sold in all the pharmacies in the county town.
The quality and size of the thorny roses in the deep mountains are better than those in the foothills.
------There is also Hericium erinaceus.
Tian Ge took out a few pieces of yellow Hericium erinaceus. Hericium erinaceus can be used as medicine and is edible. He didn't plan to sell it. He would wash it and stew it with rabbit meat tonight.
"Climbed a tree?" Qin Xiong asked. Hericium erinaceus usually grows on tree branches.
-----Um.
Tian Ge nodded. He had been taken up mountains and down rivers by his second brother since he was a child, so climbing trees was naturally no problem for him.
Seeing her husband's smug and energetic face, Qin Xiong had other thoughts. He tilted his head and moved his face closer, pouting, asking for a kiss.
The kiss gradually deepened. Qin Xiong's feet were still soaking in the wooden basin. He leaned sideways, clasped Tian Ge's head with both hands, and kissed her with a burning passion in his heart.
They had been in the mountains for nearly a month and had not been intimate twice.
First, as long as it didn't rain or snow, Qin Xiong would go out early and come back late. Every night after washing up, he would lie down on the bed. He and Tian Ge would fall asleep without saying a word.
Secondly, there was a stranger in the room, and the bed creaked whenever he moved. Tian Ge was embarrassed, so she just used her mouth to eat each other to satisfy her craving.
Speaking of outsiders.
-----Wu Ping'an went out alone and hasn't come back yet.
When Tian Ge came back in the afternoon, Wu Ping'an was no longer at home.
Tian Ge was a little out of breath. She pushed Qin Xiong's chest away and the two separated.
No matter what, safety is the most important thing.
Although Qin Xiong was a little unsatisfied, he quickly wiped his feet, put on his shoes and went out to look for someone.
As soon as I walked out of the kitchen, I heard a noise outside the yard.
It was already dark when he came back and called out to his mistress outside the house to open the door for him.
"Master, Madam." Wu Ping'an called out politely, his ears red from the cold, and he was holding two wild rabbits in his hands.
"I went to check out the trap." Wu Ping'an added, raised his hand and smiled.
Wu Ping'an made all the traps himself, and if he didn't know how to do it, he could ask Qin Xiong.
"That's right." Qin Xiong said, "Next time you go out, you must bring the hunting dog with you."
Hunting dogs play a big role. A good hunting dog can not only help its owner find prey, but more importantly, it can alert and save its life.
If there is a large wild animal like a bear nearby, people can't smell or hear it, but dogs can.
Even if the hunting dog accidentally falls into trouble, it can run back to the camp and call other hunters to rescue it.
Wu Ping'an had been chased by a bear and had broken bones, which took him a long time to recover from. He should be more aware of the dangers of wild animals.
"Yes, it was my negligence." Wu Ping'an admitted his mistake obediently.
-----It’s me. I took Erhuang with me when I went out today.
"No, I should have waited for you to come back before leaving. I will be more careful next time." Wu Ping'an said. He was just in a depressed mood. His master would not be a hunter in the future, and he didn't know what to do in the future.
Going to see the trap was just an excuse, he just wanted to go out for a walk.
But the master was right. There were dangers everywhere in the mountains. A qualified hunter should not be so careless as him.
If he encounters a bear again, and he is alone, with no one to help him, then he will never have to feel sad for the rest of his life and will go straight to see the King of Hell.
-----Come in and warm yourself by the fire, you're almost frozen to a pulp.
Qin Xiong saw through it but didn't say much. He followed Tian Ge's words and asked Wu Ping'an to rest and prepare for dinner.
Since the person returned safely, Qin Xiong would not interfere.
After dinner in the evening, he pulled Tian Ge back to bed early and continued the love affair that had just been interrupted.
This time we went into the mountains, we had hunted almost all the prey and even dug up the wild ginseng we had been dreaming of.
I estimate that if I sell them all, I will get at least fifty taels of silver.
Mainly the money for the elk and ginseng, as well as some scattered Chinese medicinal herbs.
Although wild rabbits are not very valuable, they are easy to catch in large numbers.
When the worries in your heart are put to rest, you can relax.
Qin Xiong stroked Tian Ge's waist and said with a smile, "You've gained a little weight."
The moonlight was cold and silent, casting dim shadows across the entire forest.
Tian Ge no longer cared about anything else. She pulled the hair on Qin Xiong's legs in embarrassment and told him to stop talking. It was really weird to talk like that!
Qin Xiong laughed out loud.
I have to have a real meal tonight.
Tian Ge was also a little overwhelmed by the teasing, but Wu Ping'an's room was next door.
----There is a sound...
"I'll be gentle."
......
fraud.
Tian Ge wants face, but Qin Xiong doesn't.
The creaking sound continued in the middle of the night.
