Like a couple
Ren Beixi went into the mountains before dawn every day.
Start building the house.
Gui Yao continued to recuperate and would take her medicine out for a walk when she had nothing to do.
Say hello to any uncle or aunt you meet.
When she met the little animals that she had done tasks with before, she would say hello. The little animals were very curious about her new ability to convey her thoughts without saying a word.
Big Goose: "Hehehe, do you know that when you talked to me before, my master looked at you as if you were a fool."
Guiyao reached out and grabbed the goose by its wings, then threw it far into the pond.
With a "thump", the girl put her hands in her pockets.
Because this guy didn't cooperate in completing the mission at the beginning, his favorability rating is still in the double digits.
Thinking about the favorability, Guiyao became a little dispirited again. After washing her hands, she leisurely returned home and sat on a small stool looking at the sky.
Without the Animal Mind Reading Notebook, what's the point of her doing this side quest?
The side quest Song Mo Wuhen is stuck at 50%.
These days, Guiyao often pulled the village chief to chat, and went to the village entrance to squat next to Dahuang and talked to it for a long time, but the message was still the same.
But Guiyao could vaguely feel that the village chief knew that Huang Shiyu probably would not come back.
But he didn't tell Dahuang.
The pigeons have been coming more frequently these days, and Dahuang is in a good mood.
But every time the letter was not from its little master, it was very disappointed and had no choice but to drag Momo around the village entrance every day.
The villagers all said that although the big black dog looked stupid, it was actually quite large and scary. So now Mo Mo could only accompany Ren Beixi to move bricks.
Yes, Ren Beixi did most of the building work himself, and his subordinates only helped to carry things and do odd jobs. As the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, Xiaohui had been running between Xianyu City and Xiaohe Village these days. Whenever Gui Yao passed by, she could hear his horse tied in the Gui family's small yard crying out in fatigue.
Building a house makes a lot of noise.
Xiao Hui said that this house should be ventilated from north to south to relieve the heat, and also be closed and soundproof.
My uncle beside me asked curiously, "Soundproof? How can we be soundproof when we live in the deep mountains and forests?"
"Adults should stay out of the younger generation's business."
Gui Yao's revenge was achieved.
There is no need to worry about mosquitoes and insects. With the help of the Gui family, everyone in Xiaohe Village uses herbs to avoid them and places them in high places to prevent other animals from accidentally eating them.
It’s just difficult to change the dressing every time.
When Guiyao accepted the task, she went door to door to tell the villagers that they could put it on the ground, which would make it easier to drive away snakes.
When asked, what to do with cats and dogs.
Gui Yao blinked and said she had a way.
Thinking of this, Gui Yao put her hands on her hips again, feeling aggrieved that all the points she had worked so hard to earn were wasted.
Little Gray, unaware of this, smiled and said, "The General has had us patrol the area these days, but we haven't seen any footprints or signs of life. Furthermore, it's not far away; they've even cut a path there."
Gui Yao wasn't particularly worried. She added a few words casually, checking for animal droppings, broken branches, and the carcasses of small animals.
Xiao Hui nodded heavily and walked away in three or two steps.
“Eh…”
It slipped away pretty quickly.
Guiyao returned to the house helplessly and ate a piece of the brown sugar cake sent by the village chief.
She wants to go and supervise.
The images of Ren Beixi's strong and sturdy arms, his straight back line, and his chest muscles soaked with sweat flashed through his mind.
Guiyao couldn’t think about it anymore and swallowed her saliva.
Ren Beixi returned at night and drove away the guards who had stayed with her. Gui Yao supported herself with her hands, her eyes curiously fixed on the subtle rift between the two.
Logically speaking, the guards brought by Ren Beixi were all his subordinates, but this little guard covered his face even in the hot weather and was not very talkative. When she asked Ren Beixi curiously about something, he just shook his head. If it were not for the guard's attire, his body shape and posture would have looked like a woman.
There were only two people in the room.
Two more dogs.
He was muttering silently about the frustration of being driven away by the villagers. Looking at the lovable face of Dahuang, he thought of the equally cute big white cat in the general's mansion. He couldn't help but pull it with his claws. Dahuang was not angry, but just snorted twice and rolled on the ground.
Because pigeons often fly here, Dahuang also likes to squat at the door of Gui's house recently.
The two dogs were barking non-stop. Ren Beixi was writing with a pen. Gui Yao looked at him secretly. He was not affected at all. His sitting posture looked very handsome. Because the weather was hot, a thin layer of sweat fell on the neck of the man who had just taken a shower.
Forgot to breathe.
Gui Yao covered her face and lay back on the bed.
Because she loved sleeping on soft pillows, her aunt sewed a lot of them for her. Thinking of her aunt, she had been commissioned by the coroner to go to Xianyu City these days. Her uncle seemed to be in a state of depression due to separation anxiety. He left the task of decocting medicine to the little guard beside her. He either went to see the village chief or the village chief came to see him all day long. He was not very comfortable.
Ren Beixi seemed to notice her sleepiness and cast his eyes on the thin blanket she was curled up in.
"Are you sleepy?"
Guiyao didn't want to pay attention to him either.
It seems like yesterday, I had my eyes clearly closed, but he still picked me up and held me for a while, and then he started doing other things after a while.
She didn't understand why he had so much energy at night when he had been building the house during the day.
Gui Yao hugged the pillow without saying a word, but suddenly heard the door being pushed open with a "creak". She turned around and saw two dogs running out one after the other.
Gui Yao: “…”
She buried her face back into the pillow.
Ren Beixi noticed her movement, stood up and closed the door, and the sound of the lock was crisp.
The man's voice was clear and sharp: "The house will be finished tomorrow. We can move in in a few days, okay?"
"Every time the aunties in the village asked me why I wanted to move, I was too embarrassed to tell them."
Guiyao said sullenly.
The man rescued her red face from the quilt, knelt on one knee in front of the bed, and covered her ears with his big hands.
"Why?" he asked.
Gui Yao shook her head.
She looked at him, wondering if every man in the world would become addicted to that kind of thing. She never thought too much about things like love. She mostly relied on her own intentions rather than external constraints.
In the past, she was paralyzed by things like the system and the main quests.
But now that everything is gone, is she still willing to continue with him like this, like husband and wife... No, she and Ren Beixi are already married, they are husband and wife, but can the ancient people's logic bind an outsider like her?
If I open my eyes next time, I will have returned to the modern era.
Guiyao closed her eyes and kissed him.
The man was slightly startled and intensified the kiss.
midnight.
Ren Beixi stood up, put on his clothes simply, and his eyes fell on his small bed. He was now randomly rubbing half of his light pink bellyband.
He closed the window, took hold of the thin blanket and gently covered his wife's fair neck, his fingertips briefly resting on the kiss mark on her skin. Finally, he stood up and walked into the yard. The yard was silent. It was the hour of the Ox, and all the candles in the village were extinguished. Only a light was left on in their room.
"General." Xiao Hui walked out from behind.
Ren Beixi said in a calm voice, "He has already returned to the capital. You can go there and give the things to him. Then, help me submit a formal memorial, informing him that I will enter the capital in the autumn."
Xiao Hui took the document from the man and was about to leave.
"etc."
Ren Beixi pursed his thin lips slightly, with a hint of coldness.
"Have all the fellow townspeople from Xianyu City returned to the military camp?"
"General, from the list I gave you, only one person hasn't returned." Xiao Hui glanced up at the general, seeing his hands folded behind his back, his expression normal under the moonlight. He then continued, "This person was suspected of deserting. He encountered bandits on the way back to Xianyu City in Huwan Gorge and has been missing ever since."
"But that person's surname is not Huang." Xiao Hui said.
Ren Beixi nodded slightly and let the person go.
He was not the only one under the moon. In the yard, Uncle Gui was lying on a rocking chair, making a creaking noise.
She started humming a song again. Ren Beixi guessed that Guiyao learned the sadness from her uncle.
The two of them didn't meet alone very often.
Uncle: "Did Yaoyao ask you to find someone?"
Uncle: "She is intelligent and clever, but she is too kind."
"No, being kind is a good thing." Ren Beixi said.
He casually picked up the book next to the rocking chair. It was a map of the mountains of Xiaohe Village that he had asked for in order to build a house. The winding mountain road was dangerous, but there were marked paths in the village that were easy to walk on. The river in the distance was a river, and the gorges were next to each other. At the top, three words could be seen: "Huwan Gorge".
Ren Beixi's eyes were calm.
"I remember that the banditry around Xianyu City was driven away many years ago."
"Of course." My uncle was feeling the heat and brought up a large palm-leaf fan. "These bandits must have been afraid of the General's prestige over the years and haven't caused any trouble. How unfortunate that they captured a man returning from the north?"
"You seem to be hinting at something."
His uncle fanned him with a palm-leaf fan, and he suddenly smiled. In the distance, someone was holding a torch, and he hurried over to catch it.
"Why are you still waiting?" His aunt nudged him. "Didn't I tell you I'd be back tomorrow?"
The fan in my uncle's hand was about to break: "I understand you have to rush back before dawn today. It's hot, and there's water in the house."
Ren Beixi had no choice but to go back to his room.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Gui Yao lying on the bed, covered with the thin quilt he had prepared for her, her hair hanging down. She supported herself with her slender hands, tilted her head, and looked at him curiously.
The man kept silent. Just as he sat back on the bed, Gui Yao hugged him softly.
He was about to put his arm back, but Gui Yao pushed him away.
Gui Yao reached out and touched Ren Beixi's lips. She always felt that he was cold and hard and couldn't say anything nice. He either made her angry or made her blush. Unless it was necessary, he always asked her to take the initiative to respond.
"You always talk a lot to others, but to me..."
Ren Beixi's breath fell on her neck: "What Yaoyao and I said is not suitable for others to hear."
Gui Yao pushed him again, but he held her hand and interlocked their fingers.
The warm palm held her fist and placed it on the man's chest. The sound of his heartbeat made her tremble.
The raindrops fell between my lips and tongue.
She covered her face and cried, and the man coaxed her and asked her what she heard.
"Ren Beixi, are you interrogating me? Can't you ask me properly? Why do you have to do this? I only heard you say that I have a kind heart. Why, kind people are bullied, and you bully me?"
"S-I'm done, stop licking..."
