Chapter 9: Having to Maintain Personality



Looking back, Gu Linbei discovered that the person who could really uproot the weeping willow tree was her, Lu Yan. Wouldn't this couple's life be boring?

Gu Linbei didn't feel any sense of accomplishment as he couldn't arouse any desire to protect her.

"Hide for a while."

Gu Linbei patted Lu Yan's shoulder gently, his face full of tenderness.

Lu Yan was quite satisfied with this man's expression control. After all, her original body had married Gu Linbei, a product of this era. If she really broke up with Gu Linbei now, her future life would definitely not be easy.

While Lu Yan was lost in thought, Gu Linbei had already aimed the bow and arrow on his shoulder at the wild boar charging towards him.

Gu Linbei drew his bow and shot an arrow.

The arrow pierced the wild boar's eyebrows, and the sound of a sharp sword entering flesh was heard instantly.

"It's a wild boar!"

"Great, we have meat to eat today!"

Several people were chatting with each other, with anticipation in their eyes.

Facts proved that Gu Linbei was indeed quite skilled in combat, especially with the bow on his shoulder. In stark contrast to Lu Yan's previous embarrassment, Gu Linbei had taken down the wild boar in a flash.

Even if the wild boar struggled a few more times, it was of no avail.

"Recruit a few people and take the wild boar down the mountain." The person who gave the order was the village chief of Xiaohe Village, whose surname was Zhou.

After hearing what he said, several villagers' eyes lit up instantly.

They quickly surrounded the wild boar and dealt with it, but Village Chief Zhou turned his gaze directly to Lu Yan: "Old Five's family, this mountain is not safe, you'd better not come here again! If you want something, just tell Old Five, right?"

Village Chief Zhou said this and glanced at the villagers who were working hard next to him.

"This mountain is dangerous. We arrived just in time. If we were any later... you would have lost your life."

"I understand. Thank you, Village Chief."

Lu Yan responded casually.

Of course, she wasn't stupid enough to expose herself, so she just nodded obediently.

Seeing her like this, Village Chief Zhou thought Lu Yan had listened to him, so he nodded and directed several people to go down the mountain quickly.

Lu Yan and Gu Linbei walked at the back, but no one doubted Lu Yan's misery.

Only Gu Linbei.

"Are you hurt?"

The man spoke in a low voice, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.

Lu Yan was stunned by his question, turned around to look at the blood on her body and groaned inwardly.

She was not injured, but was covered in blood from the wild boar.

The wild boar that Gu Linbei had killed had no injuries at all, so...

Things seemed to be getting a little complicated, and Lu Yan was thoughtful.

Before she could finish her lie, she heard Gu Linbei's voice: "Does it hurt?"

The man looked at her with concern in his eyes.

That glance made Lu Yan's words inexplicably stuck in her throat.

She pursed her lips, not knowing how to explain for a moment.

"I'm not injured." After hesitating for a moment, Lu Yan decided to confess: "This blood is not mine."

Hearing this, Gu Linbei turned his head suspiciously and looked at Lu Yan.

Perhaps it was because the doubt in the man's eyes was too strong, Lu Yan felt a little guilty for a moment.

Gu Linbei was stunned when he heard this.

Obviously, Lu Yan didn't want to explain.

In that case, there was no reason for him to force her to explain. So Gu Linbei just nodded slightly: "You can tell me what you want to eat in the future."

I don’t know why, but what he said sounded like a boss saying, “Tell me what you want to buy.”

Lu Yan suddenly felt happy that she had found a big money sponsor.

She pursed her lips and looked at Gu Linbei seriously: "Are you good at hunting?"

"good."

Gu Linbei was definitely being modest. After all, Lu Yan remembered that the original book described the fifth son of the Gu family as brave and good at fighting.

Later, the author sighed through the mouth of a member of the Gu family: It was better for Gu Laowu to die early, otherwise the Gu family could have produced another military general.

"So what's your attitude towards your family?"

Lu Yan asked again.

She remembered that the book said that Gu Linbei and Gu Linxuan were both very filial children.

But looking at Gu Linbei's attitude towards Old Lady Gu today, things seemed to be different from what she had imagined.

"Why do you think of asking this?"

Gu Linbei walked in front and Lu Yan followed behind.

Hearing Lu Yan's strange question, Gu Linbei turned around and looked at Lu Yan.

I always feel that she seems a little different today than she was yesterday.

Although Lu Yan and Yu Nian exchanged marriages, there was no emotional foundation between them after all.

Since everything had already been done last night, Gu Linbei naturally treated her as his wife and fulfilled his duties as a husband.

"It's too hot today, abnormally hot." Lu Yan simply didn't plan to hide it anymore. She had just gone up the mountain today when she was brought down.

If she wants to go up the mountain again in the future, she's afraid there will be a lot of people staring at her.

Really...

In Xiaohe Village, there are also Chaoyang people.

In that case, then treat men like cattle and horses.

Lu Yan thought about it and spoke directly to Gu Linbei: "If I remember correctly, there hasn't been a single rain since the beginning of spring this year! If you can, hunt more prey and bring it back. We'll hide it! Even if we don't get any, at least we can get some dried meat to fill our stomachs."

Lu Yan's voice was very low, and as soon as she said this, Gu Linbei immediately turned his head to look at Lu Yan.

These days, the old people in the village have been saying that it hasn't rained this year.

Originally, Gu Linbei didn't take it seriously, but when he heard Lu Yan say this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

How can a woman think of so much?

Gu Linbei couldn't help but look at Lu Yan twice more.

Lu Yan was a little confused by his gaze, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Why are you staring at me? I was also thinking about your Gu family... If there is no food..."

Lu Yan didn't say anything else.

She always assumed the worst of others.

What I didn’t say was, of course: I’m afraid your mother will eat me and Yu Nian like two-legged sheep!

Of course, since she had traveled to this book world, she wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. But the Gu family had better behave themselves and not target her.

But Gu Linbei thought that what Lu Yan didn't finish saying was that she was afraid of going hungry.

When he thought of the grievances Lu Yan had suffered in the Lu family before, Gu Linbei instantly understood Lu Yan's concerns.

"Don't worry, I won't let you starve."

The man's voice was soft, as if he was comforting a child.

Lu Yan was silent for a moment, thinking that Gu Linbei must not have taken her words to heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so perfunctory.

Just as she was thinking about what excuse she would come up with to continue running up the mountain, Gu Linbei spoke up: "I've been hunting some game these days and selling it in town to exchange for some food."

His voice was low, and Lu Yan's eyes lit up instantly.

But when she thought about the wild boar she had hunted today being given away so easily to the villagers, she felt a little reluctant.

Perhaps because Lu Yan's eyes were too painful, Gu Linbei spoke helplessly.

"Don't worry, the wild boars are only owned by the few families who went up the mountain with me today. The rest can still be sold."

Hearing this, Lu Yan's mood suddenly became better.

At this time, they had already gone down the mountain.

"God damn it, this is throwing dirty water on me, an old woman."
