Chapter 375 The Hunter's Little Darling 34
"It's my fault, I won't do it again next time." Tu Shen learned to admit his mistakes without being taught.
"You'd better keep your word," Xie Qingyu threatened casually.
For Tu Shen, it was like an itch on his chest.
"Do you want to go down the mountain?" Tu Shen suddenly asked.
"Are you going to sell your prey?" Xie Qingyu asked.
In the few days she's been up the mountain, Tu Shen has also gone up the mountain two or three times. I wonder how much game he's brought back, and whether he'll have to go down the mountain to sell some of it.
After all, the temperature is still quite high, and these prey can't be left unattended.
Tu Shen didn't speak. The prey was actually fine; after some processing, it could be stored in a cool place for them to eat.
However, he would prefer to take Xie Qingyu to the town or the city.
Go to those stores and buy Xie Qingyu pretty clothes and jewelry.
We should also buy some good cotton fabric to make bed sheets.
Xie Qingyu's skin is delicate, so she should use some good products; otherwise, these are all a bit too stiff.
We need to buy more grain, especially refined grains. Xie Qingyu has a small appetite, so she definitely won't be able to eat coarse grains. If we buy more and cook different kinds of food for her, she should be able to eat them.
Then there's rouge and face powder. Although he felt Xie Qingyu didn't need those things to look beautiful, he figured most women liked them, and he saw many women buying them every time he went to the city.
He knew the signature dishes of every restaurant in the city, and when he delivered the game, he would bring some back for Xie Qingyu so she could have more to eat.
Xie Qingyu is still a bit thin. Although some parts of her body feel great to the touch, her arms and legs are too thin. She needs to take good care of herself.
Tu Shen felt he wanted to buy all the good things for Xie Qingyu, even if Xie Qingyu didn't ask.
"Well, I'll sell some game, buy some grain and other things, and buy you some things."
"I don't need anything right now, but I can buy some food." Xie Qingyu thought for a moment, "My eyesight isn't good right now, and it's not convenient for me to go down the mountain with you, so I won't go with you."
Xie Qingyu felt that her eyes were actually better today. She could not only distinguish outlines, but also perceive the color of clothes. This meant that her eyes were slowly getting better.
It's really inconvenient to go out with these eyes now, especially going up and down mountains where there's a risk of danger. It would be better to let Tu Shen go by himself.
"Then I'll take you down the mountain next time when we don't bring any prey." Tu Shen decided to go up the mountain again later to check if there was any prey in the previous traps, and bring it along as well.
Next time, if we bring less prey, we can take Xie Qingyu down the mountain for a stroll.
"You're going down the mountain tomorrow, so you won't be able to come back tonight, will you?" Xie Qingyu asked.
It takes almost a whole day to go down the mountain, and Tu Shen also needs to go to the city to sell things and buy some things to bring back, so there is definitely not enough time.
"Yes, they should." Tu Shen hunted a deer yesterday and tied it up in the backyard. This thing can be sold for a lot of money, but only restaurants in the city will buy it; the restaurants in the town won't take it.
The money earned from selling this deer is almost enough to buy things.
"I'll have my cousin stay with you for one night, and Aunt Zhao will help you during the day. If you're really worried about it at night, your younger cousin can sleep on a makeshift bed in the main room." Tu Shen had already made arrangements.
"Okay." Xie Qingyu nodded. "By the way, if you go down the mountain, please go and check on Sister Qiu for me."
Tu Shen knew that Qiu Jie was the one who got married at the same time as Xie Qingyu.
"She's in the next village. Go check on her. She should have already returned home for her wedding. Her face should be almost healed. Ask if she has any scars. The places she scratched before might still have scars. If she does, have her take these medicines for a while."
Xie Qingyu originally intended to write it down for Tu Shen, fearing he wouldn't remember it, but who knew there was no pen and ink at home.
“Master Zhao should have some; he can read. I’ll go borrow some,” Tu Shen said immediately.
"No need, just remember it." Xie Qingyu suddenly realized that even if she wrote it down, Sister Qiu wouldn't recognize it.
"What happened to her face?" Tu Shen asked, hearing Xie Qingyu's concern for Qiu Jie's face.
Xie Qingyu didn't hide anything from Tu Shen and recounted what had happened.
Tu Shen knew Xie Pozi's character and that she didn't treat her granddaughters very well, but when he heard that the people she found for them were all the same type of scum, he still cursed a couple of times.
"You're the one who has the best ideas. At least Qiu-jie doesn't have to suffer like her two older sisters."
"I don't know what kind of person that is, but no matter what, he's better than the person your family arranged. Going back to see him is just to show him that Qiu-jie's family still cares about her." Xie Qingyu's consideration was thoughtful.
After Qiu Jie gets married, Granny Xie definitely won't care whether she's doing well or not.
It's already a great favor if they don't come knocking on your door to beg for money.
Qiu Jie married into the family all alone, so it's always good to have someone to support her.
"I understand, you can rest assured." Tu Shen was confident in this.
His public image is such that just standing there, his height alone creates a sense of oppression that puts a lot of pressure on people.
It's better if he does this kind of thing.
"They should have already returned to their parents' home. Should I bring some things to your house when I go down the mountain...?" Tu Shen was a little unsure.
Generally, marrying into a family in the mountains means severing ties with those in the lower regions.
Even someone with his stamina and familiarity with various trails would need a full day to descend the mountain quickly. A woman would typically take a day and a night, and it's considered very taboo to be out at night in the mountains.
Therefore, it is actually extremely difficult to go down the mountain.
This is also why life in the mountains is so difficult.
Xie Qingyu did not mention the homecoming ceremony, and they had not discussed it during the few days since their wedding, which meant that it was not a planned event.
However, Tu Shen was a little unsure when Qiu Jie's return to her parents' home was mentioned.
"No need to go. They can just buy me and sever ties with my family. Besides, I didn't live at their house for more than a few days. Even if I were to return home, I wouldn't go to their house." Xie Qingyu's answer reassured Tu Shen.
"We'll go to that city again when we have time to inquire about your parents' whereabouts," Tu Shen said, knowing about Xie Qingyu's family situation and trying to comfort her so as not to remind her of her parents.
"Okay." Xie Qingyu didn't refuse outright.
The original storyline didn't mention whether the original owner's parents were alive or dead; they were just used as background figures.
"Now that we have the opportunity to go look for it, there's no problem. I'll go with you when we have time later."
With things arranged here, Tu Shen needed to prepare to descend the mountain.
They also asked their cousin to come over and sleep with Xie Qingyu tomorrow.
However, Ma Erya also came along this time.
