In front of me is a yard built next to a small pond.

The carefully built walls made of earth and stone don't match the atmosphere of the forest, but bamboo boards are pasted on the surface, making it look like a bamboo house. The yard is surrounded by a bamboo fence, and there are cultivated vegetable plots and chicken coops in it. A few chickens are digging up the ground in the yard.

There are two rooms in the bamboo house, one is the main room with two side rooms, and the other is the kitchen. The stove and firewood are ready, and you can see what the kitchen looks like from here.

"This is the yard you wanted to show me..." Gu Yue murmured.

"Yes. If you live here, you won't be watched by those people. There are some small traps set up in the bamboo forest outside, so it's not that easy to find." Gu Xu said, "Don't worry about someone suddenly coming to assassinate you in the middle of the night."

Gu Yue walked into the yard.

Gu Xu continued to introduce: "This place is next to a pond, so it may be a little damp, but you don't have to run far to the well to fetch water. It's also convenient for collecting firewood."

Seeing Gu Yue squatting down to look at the chicken coop that had been dismantled and repaired from the Gu family's yard, he added, "...I see that you seem to want to raise chickens, and you like chicken and eggs. So..."

Gu Yue was almost about to cry.

What a great place!

Privacy, nature, fresh air and a sense of security.

There is a kang in the left side room of the main house, which is covered with a bamboo mat.

In the corner of the wall, there is a large semi-circular shallow-mouthed bamboo basket with a diameter of one meter. A mesh roof is raised on one side, which looks a bit like a baby carriage. It is covered with velvet straw and bamboo mats.

"What is this?" Gu Yue asked, pointing at the strange-looking thing.

"...the place to sleep." Gu Xu stared at him.

"..." Gu Yue looked at this thing and thought for a while.

"Doghouse? It's a bit too big. I can't sleep in it." Gu Yue said.

"You can sleep too." said Gu Xu.

Gu Yue laughed out loud: "You have a talent for telling jokes! Why do you always have a stern face?"

He walked around the entire main house. There was a dining table in the main hall, and in the right wing was an oversized desk with all the four treasures of the study.

"Here is for you to write... those stories." Gu Xu carefully observed his expression: "What do you think?"

"Good, very good, I like it very much." The smile on Gu Yue's face never faded, and the corners of his mouth were almost stretched to his ears.

"Then let's eat." Gu Xu said.

His apprehensive heart was put at ease. After reading some fairy novels, Gu Xu combined the two previous guesses and came to the conclusion that "Gu Dashi" was a fairy. Some fairies are very skilled in transforming into human forms, but there are always flaws. The increasingly different face of the man in front of him and the red mole on his chest are proof of this.

What kind of demon could he be?

This person loves to drink big bone soup. He has been drinking it every day for the past month and is very enthusiastic when chewing bones. Maybe it is a canine?

But it is always distant towards people and seems to be unsociable, so it is unlikely to be a group animal like wolves or dogs.

The cleverness is very similar to that of a fox, maybe he is a fox spirit. Otherwise, how come he never thought of killing this person after he transformed into Gu Dashi?

It is definitely unrealistic to dig a hole for a fox to live in like a real fox, but these houses covered with bamboo strips and close to natural scenery should be liked.

He had wanted to raise chickens from the beginning, but when they disappeared, he seemed to be disappointed for a while. Foxes loved to eat chickens, and mice seemed to eat them often, but now that they had attained the Tao and transformed into human form, they could no longer eat that kind of food.

Now that he has some of them back, he will probably be happy.

Is it possible that making fried chicken fillet is a unique method among vixens?

Otherwise why not fry other meats?

Lunch was bone soup with white flour buns that had been cooked in the kitchen long ago. The moment Wu Yun lifted the lid of the pot, Gu Yue smelled the fragrance and his stomach started to growl.

"Bone soup! I love it the most." Gu Yue really likes soup. The only regret of being a northerner in this world is that you can't drink Cantonese soup every day, because some ingredients are hard to buy.

"I see you're always stewing lately." Gu Xu said.

"I did it for... I heard that this is better for leg injuries." Gu Yue said. He wanted to say "calcium supplement", but the ancient people didn't understand.

Everyone sat around the dining table in the main hall. There were a few stir-fried dishes on the table, which Gu Xu had prepared and kept warm in the pot before going back to town to pick up Gu Yue.

Gu Yue was in a very good mood and ate a big meal.

The appetite of this body is basically stable. It reached its peak in the first three months after crossing over, then slowly shrank back to about the amount that is slightly more than that of an average male.

After eating and drinking, the secret guards went back to do their own things, leaving Shi San alone to patrol the woods outside.

Gu Yue and Gu Xu sat on the kang bed in the ear room.

It was much cooler in the woods, where few animals were seen and blood-sucking mosquitoes were seen. The cool breeze slowly drifted away with the smoke of the burning mugwort, the shadows of the trees in the yard swayed, and the sun shone brightly on the pool in the distance.

"Why did you suddenly... build such a yard?" Gu Yue asked. He was not sure if it was built specifically for him, maybe there was some other purpose?

"Don't you know that you haven't been sleeping well recently?" Gu Xu leaned against the big bamboo pillow, "Your eyes are all black."

Gu Yue touched the area around his eyes.

He had trouble sleeping, but the bronze mirror was a little yellow, so although it was clear, the dark circles under his eyes were not that obvious. There were indeed several times when he finally fell asleep in the middle of the night, but his sleep was very light, and he would wake up at the slightest movement of Gu Xu.

If they slept separately, without Gu Xu's male protagonist aura, he would be even more nervous and anxious. Besides, there were three more adults and one child in the yard, and there was no extra room for them to separate.

Gu Yue didn't want to admit that he was frightened by the assassination!

"Thank you... I really didn't sleep well." Gu Yue felt embarrassed.

Then I realized a problem. It seemed that this new house also had only one kang bed.

There is a small couch in the study over there.

"Then I will live here from now on, what about you?" Gu Yue asked.

"I'll see how things go." Gu Xu said. He still had a lot of things to do. The things in Wumen were complicated and he couldn't just ignore them. He had to go to the martial arts hall from time to time to handle things.

"Oh." Gu Yue couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or what.

"Try to come back at night." Gu Xu said.

Gu Yue didn't want to admit that he was happy. He felt like he was crazy.

I touched my forehead, feeling sleepy after eating. Outside the small window was a mountain wall covered with vines and green leaves, and a cool breeze blew in.

Gu Yue lay down beside Gu Xu's legs and pulled a velvet pillow under his head: "I'll take a nap..."

"Go to sleep." Gu Xu put his hand on Gu Yue's forehead.

When will this face resemble his true self?

I am really looking forward to seeing what this person looks like under the skin of Gu Dashi.
