Gu Wu also felt that the old man next door named Yun Dazheng was a bit strange.
He was ordered to bring his men to this remote little village to protect his master's young master, who had been living in the countryside for many years, and also to protect the young master's grandparents who held the title of grandparents. Naturally, he would keep a close eye on things.
Originally, the old man's gaze as he secretly looked at my room was filled with vigilance and unease, as if he owned a huge gold mine and I had come to steal it.
Then one day, the old master of the Yun family suddenly changed his expression, becoming... how to put it? A hint of smugness tinged with triumph. As if he were laughing at himself, as if his 'conspiracy' was far from succeeding and he was still unaware of it.
Really...
I don't know what to say.
What kind of conspiracy does he have?
Gu Wu was a straightforward man throughout his life, always speaking with the strength of his fists and his unparalleled marksmanship. Who would bother with any schemes?
Besides.
If it weren't for the fact that Fourth Master's orders were inviolable, he wouldn't have come to this godforsaken, impoverished place.
The key point is that being poor doesn't matter; what's truly troublesome is not being able to practice shooting freely.
Even a day without practice makes one rusty. Their martial arts skills are alright; they can practice in the yard. Anyway, there are no multi-story buildings in this village, and their house has high walls, so they don't have to worry about being seen.
But he couldn't practice his marksmanship there; he had to go into the woods and practice with a gun fitted with a silencer, and he had to do it secretly so that no one would find out.
It's frustrating no matter what.
However… no matter how aggrieved I am, I can only endure it. I'll endure it until Miss relents… or Fourth Master uses force.
Gu Wu, who was sent to protect Yun Duo, felt aggrieved, and Yun Duo wasn't much better off.
She was followed 24/7, someone was always there, even if they were hiding in the shadows, but they never interfered with her life. This made her feel like she had lost her freedom, and even the air felt heavier. She had to strain to breathe!
However, she couldn't refuse.
After all... now that things have come to this, she can't really disregard her own safety and refuse protection in the name of so-called freedom, can she?
But thinking about it, I still feel frustrated.
Why is the world like this?
Thinking back to her past... well, actually she didn't know if similar things had happened in any previous world, but she could swear that she had never had such an experience, or even heard of it.
"This is probably the difference between ordinary people and protagonists," Yun Duo said to Xiao Jiu with a bittersweet smile.
Ordinary people live a repetitive life, day after day, just like yesterday, today, and tomorrow. But the protagonist... the protagonist is someone who sits at home and gets caught in the crossfire... exciting?
"However, I don't want this kind of excitement at all."
"I just want to be able to eat and wear comfortably, have a little money, be healthy, and have my family safe and sound. This kind of simple happiness is more suitable for me."
Xiao Jiu didn't really understand Yun Duo's feelings. After listening to Yun Duo's complaints and reflections for a while, she said, "But Master, have you ever thought that from the day you met me, you were destined to never be an ordinary person again?"
Then he muttered again, "What ordinary person could possibly travel to another world..."
“That makes sense.” Yun Duo nodded seriously.
