He looked at Lin Qingyu with some heartache, comforted her for a long time, and listened to her tell him what had happened that morning.

He remembered clearly that Lin Qingyu had been afraid of snakes since she was a child, and this must have given her a great fright.

Lin Qingyu was so exhausted that she didn't even have time to go to the county town.

Gu Shi said, "I'll go. I can go to the county town and sell this snake."

Lin Qingyu simply couldn't understand why anyone would buy something like this.

"Maybe we should just forget about it. Something like this... probably no one would want it, right?"

Gu Shi knew what she wanted to say as soon as he heard it. "Don't worry, this snake is so big, someone will definitely want it."

If Lin Qingyu weren't afraid of snakes, he would have pickled this thing and dried it, making it a piece of meat.

In those days, let alone snakes, some families who couldn't afford meat would even eat rats.

Gu Shi patiently explained, "Some snakes can be used in medicine. We'll see if anyone wants them."

Although Lin Qingyu couldn't understand it, she didn't have any good solutions. Even now, thinking back on it still makes her legs feel weak.

She trembled a few times and said, "Then go ahead, be careful on the road. I don't know how this thing ended up in the house."

Gu Shi knew she was still very scared, so he first comforted her.

"Don't worry, although there are trees nearby, this is the first time something like this has happened. I'll handle it, so don't be afraid."

As he spoke, he took out a packet of medicine powder from a small cabinet in the corner of the room.

"This is realgar powder. I'll sprinkle it outside later so that no snakes will come."

Gu Shi used his clean, large hand, which had never touched medicine powder before, to take Lin Qingyu's fair and tender small hand and walk out.

"It's hot, wear this hat so you don't get a tan."

Gu Shi put a straw hat on Lin Qingyu's head; it was the one he usually wore, and it still smelled of him.

Lin Qingyu suddenly blushed. She didn't know why, but she always felt that Gu Shi had become more manly since they got married.

Even the fear she felt a moment ago was now overshadowed by her shyness.

Gu Shi led Lin Qingyu outside his house. His house was an old house, the kind with mud walls and thatched roof.

There are three separate houses in total: a main room with a seating area for two people, and Zhao Xiaobao's room.

One was a kitchen with a storage room, and the other was a latrine.

However, in Pear Blossom Village, there are almost no families like Gu Shi's who have a separate outhouse.

Every household had its outhouse and poultry-raising area built together, but Gu Shi's family didn't raise any poultry.

He doesn't have time.

I planted some vegetables in the yard, like green beans, peppers, and eggplants.

He led Lin Qingyu around the house and sprinkled realgar powder on it. In fact, he had already discovered a problem when he was checking earlier.

Someone left something at his front door. Although he cleaned it up, he was afraid it wasn't completely clean.

Gu Shi didn't tell Lin Qingyu about this, but he could probably guess what had happened.

Few in the village disliked him, and even fewer dared to do such a thing.

After all, everyone knows that he is the best hunter in the village, and they would never use such a despicable method to mess with him.

Moreover, they deliberately came when he wasn't home, so it's obvious they were after Lin Qingyu.

Fortunately, Gu Shi prepared enough medicinal powder, otherwise there wouldn't be enough to spread in such a large yard.

Lin Qingyu thought to herself and instructed Gu Shi, "If you go to the county town, buy some more realgar powder. I'm worried about what will happen if snakes appear again."

Unbeknownst to her, Lin Qingyu had begun to trust Gu Shi.

Gu Shi smiled at her, "Don't worry, I'll handle it. Now you can rest assured. Go back quickly, or you'll get really tanned!"

Lin Qingyu looked at Gu Shi somewhat embarrassed, feeling as if he was coaxing a child when he spoke to her.

After the two entered the house, Gu Shi washed his hands and, worried that they might smell, rubbed them with baking soda.

Only after Gu Shi confirmed that his hands didn't smell bad did he return to the house with peace of mind.

Lin Qingyu sat at the table drinking water, which Gu Shi had just brought in from the main room.

Gu Shi instructed her, "Don't go into the main room for the next few days. When Xiao Bao wakes up later, tell him that it was me who said it."

Seeing Lin Qingyu nod with a mouthful of water in her mouth, she added.

"How about we build a new house? You were supposed to live in a new house after you married me!"

Lin Qingyu's eyes widened in disbelief; this person was truly unpredictable.

It wasn't that she doubted Gu Shi's ability, but she didn't expect him to talk about building a house as if it were an everyday occurrence.

"No need, I think this is fine, it looks good."

Gu Shi shook his head and said, "You don't know, if it rains heavily, the house leaks everywhere."

“Before, it was just me and Xiaobao, so it didn’t matter how much it leaked, but you married me…”

Lin Qingyu poured a glass of water and handed it to Gu Shi, interrupting him, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. If you don't leave now, it'll be late!"

Gu Shi then gave up.

He packed his things, got on his bicycle, and set off with a large bag of belongings.

It was sunny and bright, and Lin Qingyu was a little worried about Gu Shi, so she put the straw hat she had just given him on his head.

Gu Shi was overjoyed, and Lin Qingyu was also concerned about him.

I feel energetic when I ride my bike.

Lin Qingyu returned to their room and, thinking that she hadn't been into her spatial dimension for a long time, decided to go in and take a look.

She locked the door before going inside.

She was stunned when she went in.

She could clearly see that there were many more things outside the supermarket.

She quickly pushed open the door and went out, only to find that she could enter several other shops around her.

This is way too exaggerated! Lin Qingyu thought to herself.

She remembered that the last time there was any movement in the space, it seemed to be related to Gu Shi as well.

Lin Qingyu was so surprised she almost jumped up. It seemed that contact with Gu Shi would upgrade the space.

Oh my god! So she's destined to be tied to Gu Shi, right?
