At this moment, Lu Chuan spoke up, "I need to go to the county town tomorrow! I've accumulated quite a bit of game these past few days! It's time to sell it!"
"Can you come back tomorrow?" Xu Han asked.
"Yes! It's not far from the county seat. You can take a bamboo raft and travel by water. It takes an hour and a half to reach the main road. Then it takes another hour to reach the county seat. It's even closer than going to the town."
“There’s also a waterway! That’s much more convenient! I also want to go to the county town to take a look,” Xu Han said.
"No, it's cold now, and besides, you're not fully recovered yet. You can't go," Lu Chuan replied.
"Alright then!" Xu Han said dejectedly. Actually, Xu Han didn't really want to go right now; she knew her body hadn't fully recovered. She hadn't even left her room yet.
How could they possibly go to the county town? Besides, it's such a long distance.
Don't ask why I can't leave my room. The answer is simple: I'm not allowed! I eat, drink, and relieve myself all inside the room. At most, I can go to the main room…
Seeing Xu Han's disappointed look, Lu Chuan suddenly said gently, "It's okay, I'll take you there when you're better!"
"Then can I go for a stroll in the yard tomorrow?" Xu Han asked Lu Chuan, pressing her luck.
Lu Chuan glanced at the weather outside. It was warm today, and tomorrow should also be a sunny day. He then looked at Xu Han and saw that she seemed to be alright. Her complexion was much rosier, and her face had gained some weight.
Being cooped up in a room for over twenty days must be boring. It's time to let them go out and relax.
So he said, "Okay! Wear more clothes and go for a walk, but don't go too far! Just stroll around the yard."
Unfortunately, Xu Han had been severely beaten by Old Madam Xu, and she had also caught a cold, so her health had not fully recovered.
Xu Han was overjoyed to receive permission. Although it meant Lu Chuan wouldn't be home tomorrow and she could stroll around the yard, there was still a difference between sneaking around and strolling around openly.
Seeing Xu Han's happy expression, Lu Chuan couldn't help but smile!
Then he said, "Tomorrow, Black Wind and Black Spot should also stay home. If you need to go out of the yard, take them with you. They are very alert."
"Okay." After spending so much time together, Xu Han and the two dogs have become familiar with each other. She's no longer as afraid of them as she was when she first arrived. In fact, they get along very well.
Hei Feng is quite lively, practically a madman. He runs around like a madman every day, and only Lu Chuan can keep him in check.
Black Spot is a female dog, and she is much gentler than Black Wind. For many days, Black Spot has been staying in the house with Xu Han.
Because it was too cold, I put a doghouse for Blackwind and Blackspot in a corner of the room. Fortunately, both hunting dogs are very intelligent and never relieve themselves in the house, otherwise the smell would be unbearable.
After lunch, Lu Chuan continued weaving baskets. After five days of weaving, Lu Chuan had now woven five large bamboo mats, three baskets, and even two bamboo baskets specially for Xu Han! This was Xu Han's suggestion, to make it easier for her to pick wild vegetables later.
The next morning, around six o'clock, Lu Chuan set off with his prey.
Meanwhile, Xu Han was still lying in bed, struggling against the blankets, because it was too cold.
Although she was awake, she didn't want to get out of bed at all. After all, in modern times, Xu Han was the kind of person who could stay in bed all day.
In the end, curiosity about the outside world won out over the warmth of the bed. I got up, dressed, went to the main room, and picked up the kettle from the stove. I began to wash up.
After washing up, I took out the breakfast Lu Chuan had left in the pot in front of the door and ate it hastily. I didn't even wash the dishes afterward and couldn't wait to leave the house.
What comes into view are tall walls and gates, which appear to be about two meters high.
He looked around. The courtyard was quite large. There were four large brick and tile houses, with the western side being where his parents had previously lived.
To the east is the room where Xu Han and Lu Chuan are currently living. There is another room, which is locked; it is probably a storage room. This room is accessed from the outside and is not connected to Xu Han's room.
To the east, right next to it, are three more brick and tile houses. A covered walkway connects them to the main house, so your clothes won't get wet when you walk under the walkway on rainy days.
No wonder it was built by Mr. Lu; people who have seen the world are different.
The houses there all have connecting corridors, they're quite exquisite! Ordinary farmhouses rarely have connecting corridors. Only wealthy families have them.
Near the storage room is the kitchen, and further ahead are the tool shed and the bathroom. A large room is divided into two smaller rooms, and the tool shed is filled with hunting tools and miscellaneous items.
There was a large bathtub in the bathroom. Great! Finally, I can take a proper bath!
The last room was a woodshed. Xu Han opened it and looked inside. The wood was neatly stacked, filling half the room.
Good heavens, even the woodshed is made of blue bricks, isn't that a bit too extravagant?
In the far corner, there was a small mud-brick house, which Xu Han thought was probably an outhouse. In the other corner was the doghouse of Black Wind and Black Spot.
The courtyard, like the house, was paved with bluestone slabs. According to Lu Chuan, "At that time, my mother complained that whenever it rained, the courtyard would always be muddy, making it very inconvenient to walk on!"
So Lu's father led Lu Chuan to pave the entire courtyard with bluestone slabs, even covering the paths in the vegetable garden in the backyard with small slabs.
It seems that Mr. Lu still dotes on Mrs. Lu! I wonder how Lu Chuan is doing!
Thinking about it carefully, Lu Chuan has actually been quite good to me! Lu Chuan, even after shaving, is quite handsome. His handsomeness isn't the typical modern celebrity look; he has a tanned complexion, a strong physique, and well-defined features. He also exudes an aura of unapproachability.
