"Okay, you're welcome. I've long wanted to get to know you better, sister Lingshang. Since the first time I saw you near the blockhouse under the guidance of the little red fox Xuexue, I have admired you very much. It's a pity that I have never had the opportunity to meet you face to face. Moreover, through so many life and death ordeals, it is thanks to your constant rescue that we have been able to escape danger time and time again. I have admired you for a long time. I thought I could only see your handsome figure in this life, but I didn't expect that you would take the initiative to mention it tonight. I am really excited now..." Yunwen was indeed a little excited.

Seeing Yunwen like a fan meeting an idol, I gave up the idea of ​​rejecting Hu Lingshang. Wouldn't that hurt Yunwen's heart? Besides, we are now in an alliance, with all our forces united. If I drive it away, it will be a threat to both of us. After all, the name of the Curser Peter is still quite creepy and threatening.

We need each other to avoid being defeated one by one. It is still the principle of "lips and teeth are cold". Only by gathering together can we ensure that we can provide the fastest support to each other when something happens, and fight the enemy together. This is also a necessity for future survival.

Although this house was originally intended to be used only as the wedding room for Yunwen and I, Song Bailu hasn't left yet, and another person has come in. Besides, there are a lot of fox mouths with their mouths wide open, which makes me a little crazy, but what can I do? Things have come to this, so I can only accept it calmly and go with the flow. It's only for a while anyway.

"Zhou Lang, what do you think? If you feel embarrassed, I can find another way." Hu Lingshang said.

"At this point, this is all we can do for now. But let me say this in advance. First, I am the one who makes the decisions here, and you cannot take over the reins, otherwise I will not be able to choose to cooperate with you. Also, since you are living under someone else's roof, I have made it clear that this is my territory, and you must obey my orders in everything. From the day you leave here, I will have no right to manage you. Can you accept this?" I asked.

"It's a piece of cake. As long as my fox clan is safe, these little guys can grow up healthily, and avoid the danger from the sea monster, I will be happy to listen to your orders. Besides, I have never experienced the kind of work and farming that humans do, and I also want to try it." Hu Lingshang said.

"That's good. Since you are a person of cultivation, you should do what you say. Starting tomorrow, you will eat and live with us, but at the same time you must obey orders and arrangements." I said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou." Hu Lingshang said with a smile.

The main business has basically been discussed. Although no one knows what will happen if a nine-tailed white fox that has been cultivating for a thousand years and has just regained a human body is added to the team, it seems acceptable for now.

And I also saw a special intelligence in her. The alliance of interests will eventually lead to changes due to the collapse of interests, but she tried to please them at the first opportunity and formed sisters with Yunwen and Bailu, adding a touch of emotional bond beyond interests. In this way, if she encounters an accident in the future, she will have more protection and we can help her in time.

Although she is not a human, she is more proficient in the ways of the world than Song Bailu. I remember she said that she had met Senior Li Mufeng five hundred years ago. Perhaps she had received guidance from him in this regard. Senior Li Mufeng was the leader of the Milong Camp and was also the pacification envoy of the Jinyiwei. He should have understood the human nature of officials long ago. His guidance must have played a significant role.

Afterwards, everyone talked about the mermaid. They were all legends, which were scary enough, but they were all hearsay. Later on, I basically had no chance to speak at the table. The three girls hit it off immediately and talked about everything. And Hu Lingshang had lived for thousands of years and had a lot of experience, so when it came to this topic, she could get a word in about everything, and slowly she became the most talkative person at the table.

I sneered at her. Her usual fairy-like appearance seemed to be just an act. Now seeing her talking so happily at the dinner table, I felt like I was in the park and saw some old ladies chatting. Sigh...

The girls became happier and happier as they talked. No one had talked much at the dinner table in the past month, but once they started talking, it was like a flood that could not be stopped. Afterwards, Song Bailu even used a silver wine pot to boil some ginseng tea, and they drank and talked, and it turned into a tea party.

I felt very unhappy being left out, so I interrupted and said, "Everyone should go to bed early. There is still a lot of work to do tomorrow. In addition, we have to investigate the recent movements of the Cursed Peter. There is a lot to do."

The girls paused, and I thought everyone was obedient, then Lingshang said, "Zhou Lang, you go to sleep first, and the three of us sisters will chat again."

"Zhou Bo, as a gentleman, you should sleep downstairs today and leave the second floor to us three girls, okay?" Yunwen blinked her pretty eyes, looking like a spoiled child.

"Brother Zhou Bo, can you please give way tonight, just for one night?" Song Bailu also said.

I wanted to refuse, but could I beat Yunwen and Bailu's pleading looks? Besides, since it was a question of being a gentleman, wouldn't it be petty if I refused? And it was a case of the minority obeying the majority, so I didn't have to argue, so I just let it go.

So he could only cough and said awkwardly: "That's fine, but it's only for one night. You can't do this again starting tomorrow."

"Great! Thank you Zhou Bo!" Yunwen came over with a smile and kissed me on the face. It was cool and sweet. In front of so many people, I blushed a little. Then she said, "Sisters, let's talk about backaches here. Let's go upstairs."

The girls dropped everything and went upstairs one by one. I was in a daze, but suddenly my face felt cool again. I turned around and saw Hu Lingshang, her beautiful face smiling. She had kissed me just now, which made my face blush even more. She looked at me and said, "Thank you, Zhou Lang, you are so nice."

After saying that, she also went upstairs.

I was left alone downstairs near the fire, and I was stunned for a long time. My ears were red and hot, and it took a long time for them to slowly cool down. Was this just an expression of enthusiasm? But why was it so natural?

And when I woke up from that daze, what was left for me was collapse!

Damn it, at least clean up before going upstairs, can't you leave this mess on the table to me? After all, I am the only man here and the leader!

"Oh, forget it. The novelty will only last for one night anyway. As long as Yunwen is happy, it won't happen again. It's too frustrating if I, Zhou Bo, don't do this alone a second time." I muttered.

Having said that, I still diligently put all the dishes and chopsticks into the earthen basin, filled it with water, and washed them with soapy water and a rag. I also wiped the table several times. The people upstairs were still playing and fighting, and they were having fun. I accepted it for tonight. After all, this was what I got in return for the passionate kisses from these two beauties, so it wasn't too bad.

After finishing all this, I went to the courtyard outside to wash my face and body, chew some wood, and finally came back to drink tea and rinse my mouth.

It is already May, and the weather is gradually getting hot. It is not so cold at night, so even if you sleep on the first floor, it will not feel cold. I went to the stairs and took the brazier over. The firelight illuminated the area. This is where Song Bailu usually sleeps. There was hay on the ground, and a rough straw mat she wove herself was spread on the hay. There was also a small pillow made of wheat bran filled in a coarse cloth, and covered with a layer of animal skin.

Since this place was blocked by a simple wooden partition and containers during the day, and this direction was a relatively dark corner even during the day, I didn't pay much attention to it. This was also the first time I saw where she usually slept.

There was a small table around where she slept, on which was placed the ceramic bottle used to hold the soil from Yingchun's burial place, and a homemade calendar, which was a piece of paper with the word "Zheng" written on it. The second word "Zheng" had only two strokes, horizontal and vertical, with a star next to it. It must be the mark of the first seven days after Song Yingchun's death.

I couldn't help feeling a little emotional when I saw it. In addition, after the six correct characters, there was another special mark, but it was not a seal, but a word written in charcoal: death.

If we count from the seventh day after Song Yingchun's death, isn't it today? What does this death represent?
