A little guilty

Gui Yao's tightly clenched lips loosened slightly, revealing white teeth marks on the moist lips. She saw Ren Beixi's forbearing brows and suddenly lowered her eyes.

A bit pitiful.

But Ren Beixi didn't want Guiyao to avoid his gaze, never. When she was happy, his silent eyes were also filled with a heart full of forgiveness. When her eyes were red, his heart seemed to be as sad as hers.

The man's bony hand grasped Guiyao's thin chin. Guiyao dodged, whimpering softly, preventing him from seeing the emotion in her eyes.

Guiyao has a guilty conscience.

But now she had no other way to explain why she suddenly became healthy. She was a little anxious. It had been too long since she used her illness to curry favor with others. She had completely forgotten that this trick was of no use to the previous Ren Beixi...

Since getting along with Ren Beixi, she had hardly ever seen him angry. But now, she looked at him timidly, feeling that his face was cold and hard, as if he wanted to eat her.

After a while, she felt the man let go of her face.

The tall figure poured her half a bowl of warm water as usual and fed it to her. He then went to get a basin for washing her face and wrung out the handkerchief with his big hands.

The sound of flowing water is gurgling.

Gui Yao lowered her head and said, "Ren Beixi, I didn't mean to... well, be gentle."

The young lady looked up at him with red eyes.

Ren Beixi wiped Guiyao's face carefully. The areas where his handkerchief had wiped were more tender than before. He said in a deep voice, "Medicine is three-quarters toxic. If you don't need to take care of your body in the future, don't take medicine anymore."

"I'm just fat." Gui Yao muttered.

She understood what Ren Beixi meant, but she still couldn't explain it. Soon a new excuse suddenly came to her mind. When she was about to say it, the man suddenly hugged her in his arms, and she was caught off guard and fell into his cold embrace.

Ren Beixi's sharp jaw rested lightly on her shoulder, and his heavy breathing burned her collarbone.

Guiyao kept her lips tightly closed.

Undeniably, she suddenly wavered in her stance. What if she told Ren Beixi about the system? She could use something ancient people could understand, a story about a gang, using her uncle as bait, and say she'd received some missions and needed to complete them out of necessity.

Lying is still lying.

Gui Yao touched Ren Beixi's back. She was so close to him that if she tilted her head slightly, she could even feel the pulsation of his carotid artery.

She approached Ren Beixi because of the Animal Mind Reading Notes mission, but now that the system has not followed up on the main mission for such a long time, she and Ren Beixi have been living a life like a real couple in a confused state.

System: "Why do I remember you two getting married? How come you are not a real couple anymore?"

Gui Yao: “…”

It turns out that the system can speak at this time.

"It's not allowed when the lights are on, but it's still allowed now. Only Nanshan and Junyan, who have met each other and remain as young as they were in the past, are a perfect match, a perfect match!" the system continued.

Gui Yao felt her ears burning and didn't want to hug Ren Beixi anymore. She was about to push him away when she realized that the man was breathing evenly and had fallen asleep on her shoulder.

She realized it later. She had been traveling back and forth between Huxia Village and Xiaohe Village in the past few days. She fainted again last night. Ren Beixi probably had not slept a wink.

"...Husband."

Guiyao called out somewhat slowly.

She looked up at the sunlight outside the window, squinted her eyes, and after a while, she leaned her cheek against his ear.

It's rare to have a rest.

Please note that due to system upgrades, the mission to the capital has temporarily failed. The latest mission is now released.

The latest mission is——

"The latest main quest will not be released until the two side quests are completed to 100%."

The system said.

Hearing this, Gui Yao opened her eyes reluctantly.

She felt that she had never been so busy in the three years since she traveled through time. Moreover, she suddenly remembered one thing. It was because she suddenly fainted and was in poor health that she stayed in Xiaohe Village. She planned to go to Beijing in autumn.

It is now midsummer.

Before going to Beijing, she had to complete these two side quests.

“Squeak—Bang!!”

Not far away, the entire door frame fell heavily to the ground.

Before Gui Yao could react, Ren Beixi, who was beside her, held her in his arms, picked up the sword that was casually placed on the table with his right hand, and pointed it directly at the scattered dust.

Who?

Gui Yao snuck her head out from behind Ren Beixi, and sure enough… it wasn't a human. Sichuanese and Northeastern dialects washed over her mind, and she looked closely. Mo Mo had a turtle tied to his back, and behind Da Huang was a bird calling itself a chicken.

This is in the temple.

Why does she feel like a zoo?

Da Huang circled around the fallen door frame and said, "Oh my god, I'm used to kicking the door at the entrance of the village."

"It's so frightening! It's so vulgar." Ah Ji flapped his wings and hid far away.

He walked in silently, holding the turtle. When he saw his owner, he wanted to squat, but then he remembered that if he squatted, the turtle behind him would faint.

A big black dog had no choice but to stand in front of Ren Beixi with its tongue hanging out. It tilted its head and then remembered that its owner could not understand its speech. It had to bark twice to signal him to go and read the letter tied to the back of the turtle shell.

So Guiyao turned her gaze back to the only person present besides herself: "Does Yunchuan Temple allow so many animals to come? Should we find a place to accommodate them first?"

Ren Beixi bent down to untie the letter, while Gui Yao squatted down and rescued the turtle.

She helplessly lifted the turtle with both hands to observe it. The whole turtle had retracted into its shell. The shell was very large, and she had not had time to observe it carefully before. Now she could see that the pattern on it had lost its luster and the cuticle was slightly dehydrated.

The turtle poked its head out slightly and stared at her: "Nizi? Where are you tinkering with me?"

After saying that, it shook its body and released its limbs.

"Let me down."

"Hey, hey, I have to find a basin of water for you to soak in. Don't go."

The turtle struggled violently, and she thought it couldn't run far, so she put it on the ground first. Unexpectedly, the turtle's claws fell to the ground with a crackling sound and then walked out, shocking Da Huang so much that he moved away from the door.

Gui Yao's pupils also trembled.

She stood up and tried to stop him, but Ren Beixi grabbed her wrist and said, "The letter says that this turtle belongs to Yunchuan Temple."

"Ah?" A hint of surprise flashed in Gui Yao's eyes.

She had read the story of Yunchuan Temple at home. Yunchuan Temple was a famous temple in the An Dynasty, located in the suburbs of Xianyu City. It was extremely large and had a lot of incense. This was mainly because our dynasty had always enshrined the national destiny here. From the founding emperor to the present, officials sent from the capital would hold a blessing ceremony every spring.

Because of his wonderful words, all wishes come true.

There is also a widely circulated little secret that says that in the small pond behind the long steps of Yunchuan Temple, there is a giant turtle immortal who has lived for three hundred years.

Gui Yao blinked and stared at the back of the turtle as it struggled forward and finally walked out of the door frame.

She didn't know much about turtles, but in her previous life, many people were keen on raising turtles, and her pet hospital also hired an expert doctor who specialized in rescuing turtles. She remembered clearly that a huge turtle came to the hospital that day, about as wide as an adult Samoyed and as tall as an adult Ragdoll cat.

She had a clear memory of the tortoise species, the Asian giant tortoise, which sounded very domineering.

But the turtle was only twenty years old.

The Grandpa Turtle in front of him, although almost the same in appearance as it, is at least half the size of it.

Well, it’s three hundred years old.

Ren Beixi looked at Gui Yao with her hands in her pockets and thought for a long time. After a while, he stared at him and then at Wugui. He knew that her face showed her disbelief.

He held her wrist with one hand, lifted her up from the ground, and walked out of the collapsed door together.

Outside the door, a big turtle was walking in front, grunting.

Ren Beixi and Gui Yao clearly saw a group of people watching the fun outside.

The little nun sweeping the floor said: "That bird's feathers are so beautiful, and that young lady is so pretty too. Wait, is she the lady of the Gui family?"

The pilgrim who hadn't even had time to stick the incense in his hand into the censer said: "Ren Ren Ren Ren Family General!"

A passing cat said: "What kind of animal community is this? Why isn't there a single cat?"

"Amitabha."

The bell rang loudly, and everyone scattered like birds and beasts.

The abbot with long white hair walked up to the two of them with his hands clasped together.

Seeing the two dogs and a bird in the room, she soothed her face and said, "Young General, please fix the door of the dormitory."

After saying that, he looked at the turtle that was still crawling.

"Thank you, benefactor Xiaogui, for returning the tortoise to our temple." The abbot bowed slightly to Guiyao. "The weather is perfect. If you have settled your friend, benefactor Xiaogui, please come to Baohua Hall and copy the Buddhist scriptures with me."

Gui Yao returned the greeting earnestly, her voice clear and sharp: "Thank you, Abbot."

As he spoke, the big turtle had already stepped onto the side of a small pond not far away, stretched out its claws and jumped in tentatively.

From a distance, you can see the lotus leaves swaying gently and the lotus flowers emitting pink water splashes in the sunlight.

The abbot left.

Gui Yao took advantage of the fact that the crowd had not yet turned back and pushed Ren Beixi into the room and helped him put the door back in place. Dahuang stood obediently by the side, and Gui Yao took advantage of Ren Beixi's inattention to secretly stare at the dog and communicate with it.

It turned out that the four of them were sent by their uncle to deliver a letter.

Originally, only Momo was needed, but when Dahuang saw that the village chief was still unconscious, he went with Momo, hoping to see if they could find the little master.

As for Ah Ji, it had been staying in the backyard of the Gui family before, but this time it went up the mountain, biting it silently and walking up. The children in the village chased it and played with its tail, so they followed it.

The door was securely put back in place.

Gui Yao immediately withdrew her communicative gaze.

...Then she saw the above results that she had just asked on the letter paper handed to her by Ren Beixi.

Ren Beixi: "Are there any words you don't recognize?"

Gui Yao was angrily saying, "No, I'm quite knowledgeable and I have to copy Buddhist scriptures later. Just stay in your room and take a nap. I'll call you for dinner tonight."

She packed her bag and fed dried fruits to the animals that had been traveling for half a day. Before leaving, she asked them to supervise each other and take a rest with Ren Beixiong.

"I'm leaving." Gui Yao gently opened the door.

The man sitting upright on the bed put down the cup in his hand, raised his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Don't call me husband anymore?"
