He was actually a little drunk, but not to the point of passing out.
After returning home, he found some herbs in the room where Grandma Xiao kept the medicine and boiled them into a decoction. He and Meng Meng each had a bowl. After washing up, he went to sleep.
That night, Lu Zheng had a dream.
He hasn't dreamed for several years since he learned that he had been successfully reborn.
In my dream, there is Gu Xin.
She is neither the mature Gu Xin from her previous life, nor the little Gu Xin she was when they first met.
It was a young girl named Gu Xin, who was about the same age as she is now.
He accompanied her hunting. In a deep mountain, there was a cunning fox. The two chased after it, but the fox disappeared at a cave.
Gu Xin said she was going to the cave to find the little fox, but he wouldn't let her. He said he would go find it himself, because he was afraid there might be large wild animals in the cave that could hurt Gu Xin, and told her to wait at the cave entrance.
As a result, when he went in, he found that Gu Xin had also gone in, and she had gone in before him.
Before he could ask, the person suddenly disappeared.
He was startled and shouted "Xin Xin!" He instinctively ran forward, only to find that Gu Xin had disappeared into a bottomless abyss.
He was about to jump without hesitation, and had already taken a step when he suddenly remembered that he had asked Gu Xin to wait for him at the cave entrance.
He wondered if he had encountered a fox demon, and that Gu Xin might still be at the cave entrance.
So he decided to go to the cave entrance first.
When they returned to the cave entrance, the person was gone.
He ran back to the abyss, but there was no abyss there anymore; it was just the floor of an ordinary cave.
He frantically grabbed his sword and started digging, shouting as he dug.
Then the fox came out again, speaking in a human voice, and told Lu Zheng with a strange laugh that Gu Xin had been taken away by him and that he would never see her again in his life.
The voice in his dream was very familiar, and Lu Zheng was startled awake.
He woke up before dawn, covered in sweat.
I got up, washed up, put on my clothes, and went out.
He hadn't felt this scared in a long time, and he couldn't feel at ease until he saw Gu Xin with his own eyes.
They quickly arrived at the back of the government office, jumped inside, and went to the small building.
An Youbai and the others in the back courtyard were keeping an eye on things. By the time Bai Er noticed, Lu Zheng had already arrived at Gu Xin's window.
Bai Er approached and saw that it was Lu Zheng, so he wisely hid.
Looking at the little girl sleeping soundly in the room, Lu Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems it was just a nightmare.
He didn't stay long. Although they were mutually attracted, it was still improper for him to be in someone else's room so late at night.
After jumping out of the inner courtyard, Bai Er caught up with him and asked, "Master, do you think Lord Gu knows you've been here yet?"
Lu Zheng was taken aback. That's right, his future father-in-law was very skilled in martial arts. His sudden arrival...
Bai Er asked, "Then what should I say when Lord Gu asks tomorrow?"
Lu Zheng sighed: "Just tell the truth. I only stood by the window for a while, I didn't go in."
Bai Er suppressed a laugh. "That's just how it is, why did you specifically mention that? Are you still afraid of Lord Gu?"
Lu Zheng asked Bai Er a few more questions about Gu Xin's recent situation and whether anything unusual had happened before leaving.
Gu Xin usually doesn't have anything special to do. Apart from frequently communicating with Xie Zhiyi, she usually asks Bai Er to send Bai Shi to Jiangnan to investigate the man Cheng Huaiyu mentioned.
But Bai Shi hasn't sent any news yet, and Gu Xin sometimes asks about Bai Er's situation.
