Chapter 387 The Hunter's Little Darling 48
Tu Shen was unaware of Xie Qingyu's thoughts. He himself had his own judgment, and since he couldn't get it from Ma Erya, he could blame it on Shuanzi.
After all, he knew about this, but he still wanted to marry Ma Erya.
Whether Ma Erya truly suffered from amnesia or was faking it, he was taking advantage of her vulnerability.
Tu Shen felt that he was even more excessive than himself.
"I'm getting a little hungry," Xie Qingyu changed the subject.
Tu Shen panicked when she said that. It was already afternoon, and he figured Xie Qingyu probably hadn't eaten anything yet.
In addition, I didn't eat much last night because I was looking for someone, and I haven't eaten all day.
He was really negligent.
"I'll go back and make you something now. I also bought some pastries and snacks for you down the mountain yesterday. Have some to tide you over," Tu Shen said, helping Xie Qingyu walk faster.
After arriving home, he first got some food for Xie Qingyu.
The food was bought yesterday when he went down the mountain; it's still in his basket.
He went out as soon as he got home yesterday, put down his basket, and hasn't had a chance to open it yet.
Tu Shen brought Xie Qingyu pastries from the city. He had seen many young women enjoy these kinds of food, so he figured Xie Qingyu would like them too.
Although it's a bit expensive, he only comes down the mountain once in a long while, so it would be a shame not to buy it.
He then took out some food for Xie Qingyu and poured some cooled boiled water next to her before going to the kitchen to prepare it.
Xie Qingyu didn't want to eat alone in the house, so she followed Tu Shen into the kitchen.
The fire was a bit smoky, and after Tu Shengsheng got a little hot, he turned around and saw Xie Qingyu behind him, so he quickly led her outside the kitchen.
"Just wait to eat, it's pungent inside."
"I want to stay with you," Xie Qingyu said, taking a bite of her pastry.
Tu Shen looked at her rosy lips as she spoke those words and couldn't resist giving them a kiss.
It was indeed sweet, just like pastries.
"Then you can just stand at the door and don't come in." Tu Shen enjoyed Xie Qingyu's dependence on him, but he couldn't help but wonder if Xie Qingyu was frightened by the incident of falling into the water, which was why she felt so insecure.
I need to spend more time with her from now on, since she can't see and would be more easily panicked if something like this happened.
Tu Shen made a decision in his heart, but his hands did not stop working.
Because he was afraid Xie Qingyu would go hungry, he cooked quickly and didn't make anything complicated. He simply stir-fried a dish, cooked some porridge, and steamed a bowl of egg custard for Xie Qingyu.
He told Xie Qingyu to eat some steamed egg custard first, so that her stomach wouldn't be upset if she hadn't eaten all day.
In places without doctors, you have to be careful; even diarrhea can be considered a serious illness.
"I haven't asked you yet, how was your trip down the mountain? Did the game sell well? Did you get harassed by anyone?"
They didn't follow the rule of not talking while eating, so they chatted and talked as usual.
Geng Tu Shen really liked this feeling, especially since Xie Qingyu's series of questions were all out of concern for him.
"It's all good. The live game was sold to the restaurants. They offered high prices, and they'll take anything good. We've always been sending it to them. The cured game sold well too. After all, it's meat, so it's easy to sell. We made quite a bit of money. But we bought a lot of things this time, thinking we'd stock up on some food for winter in advance, so we didn't have much money left."
After finishing his sentence, Tu Shen added, "We should be able to save the money from selling the next batch of prey."
He probably felt somewhat guilty for not being able to bring back any money on this trip.
"That's already great. We'll have something to eat in the winter. You're amazing!" Xie Qingyu's string of praises hit Tu Shen's heart like a ton of bricks, making him feel dizzy.
He couldn't remember anything about Ma Erya at this moment, only Xie Qingyu's praise of him.
"I will try my best to give you a good life, to earn more money, to buy things, so that you can live almost as well as you did down the mountain," Tu Shen said, sounding somewhat guilty.
Because he is still far from achieving that.
Putting everything else aside, when you live down the mountain, you can buy whatever you want to eat right away, and you can also go shopping with friends. They don't have any of that here.
There was only a small gathering once every three months, where hunters from the nearby mountains would exchange items with each other.
There's really nothing else worth mentioning.
If we have enough money, we can move down the mountain to live.
But......
But hunters don't have household registration.
If they want to move down the mountain and settle down, they have to pay a large sum of money to register their household.
This fee alone is enough to deter everyone, not to mention that they have no land to cultivate after they leave the mountain, and whether they can even survive is a question.
At least he could survive on the mountain, and with his abilities, he could live quite well there. But things might not be the same down below.
Tu Shen was somewhat troubled.
Xie Qingyu is unaware that Tu Shen has considered things so far ahead.
"I believe in you." She still offered the most positive encouragement.
"By the way, did you go to Sister Qiu's place? Is she doing well?" Xie Qingyu asked.
“I went.” Tu Shen nodded, and put the last piece of meat into Xie Qingyu’s bowl before saying, “I asked about the village she married into, found her family, and they were home when I went. I left them a pheasant.”
Tu Shen recounted the scene he witnessed at Qiu Jie's house.
"His family only has one house, but it's newly built and looks alright. I heard that my brother-in-law's parents have both passed away, and he built the house himself, which is already quite good. Sister Qiu seemed very happy and kept asking about your situation."
Tu Shen described the scene at that time.
Well, he greeted Qiu Jie's husband as her brother-in-law. As a fellow man, Tu Shen could tell that he was a decent person. Although he had his own little bit of shrewdness and calculation, it was harmless and probably a necessary trait for businessmen.
"Sister Qiu has been thanking you, saying that without you, she wouldn't have been able to marry the person she wanted to marry. Now that she's running her own little family, she feels hopeful for the future."
These words reminded Xie Qingyu of the scene at the beginning when Sister Qiu said it was fine whether she lived or died.
"But how did you help her?" Tu Shen asked with some doubt.
Xie Qingyu highlighted some key points for Tu Shen.
Unexpectedly, Tu Shen's eyes lit up when he heard this, not because of anything else, but because Xie Qingyu mentioned that she had added some herbs.
"You understand medical principles?" Tu Shen asked excitedly.
"I know a little bit, and I've seen quite a lot," Xie Qingyu said modestly.
She is quite knowledgeable about pharmacology, having done so many missions, so she has some understanding of it.
"That's great! So, can you treat illnesses?" Tu Shen asked, then froze in surprise.
Xie Qingyu couldn't see it, or rather, she shouldn't be able to see it.
"I was just asking randomly," Tu Shen said, trying to compose himself.
