With his back turned, Li Xiaoyu couldn’t see Gu Fei’s expression.

She raised her eyebrows, puffed up her cheeks and tried to hold back a smile, but she didn't say that you were weak.

After bringing the two wild game back to the kitchen, she went to the nearest household to buy some dried mushrooms and brought them back to stew the pheasant.

By the way, I took a hatchet to the bamboo forest and cut down a bamboo. I took it home and cut off the head and tail, leaving about 1.3 meters long.

After scraping off the white frost on the surface of the bamboo, you can use it as a guide stick for Gu Fei.

After scraping the last bit, she brushed off the bamboo scraps on her body, stood up and placed the bamboo stick in the corner, and then she saw a blue-green parrot flying back.

Seeing it perched on the beam and shaking its feathers, Li Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows.

I don't know what it is busy with every day.

Going out early and coming back late, a fat parrot is busier than she is.

Shaking her head, she went to the kitchen to cook.

They had pheasant stewed with mushrooms for dinner, but they couldn't finish one, so she pickled the other half with salt and planned to smoke it and hang it up the next day.

There is nothing else to do after dinner.

Pack up and go to bed, preparing to go to city tomorrow to buy meat and flour. You can buy more flour for storage.

Without a refrigerator, we had to go to the city to buy fresh pork every two days.

As her small business slowly grew, she would sell goods one day and rest one day, and use the rest day to paint.

After washing his face and feet with Gu Fei, the two lay on the bed without speaking to each other.

Like a stranger sleeping in the same bed.

For some reason, Li Xiaoyu couldn't sleep tonight. After finally making it to the early morning and feeling sleepy, the man next to her suddenly woke up.

Seeing him lift the quilt, get out of bed and walk out, she immediately thought of Gu Fei's sleepwalking incident last time.

He quickly got up, lit the tung oil lamp and followed.

Seeing that he was heading towards the kitchen, she strode in front of him and asked softly, "Gu Fei, what do you want to eat this time?"

Gu Fei ignored her and limped forward past her.

She followed behind him holding an oil lamp and felt that the color of his inner clothes on his back was almost transparent, so she raised the oil lamp to shine.

I found his back was wet with sweat.

Li Xiaoyu bit her inner lip, feeling somewhat helpless: "It's not such a coincidence, is it?"

Following him all the way, he saw Gu Fei scoop up a bucket of cold water from the water tank and pour it over his head without saying a word.

A hint of astonishment flashed in her eyes, and she quickly ran up to him, snatched the gourd ladle from his hand and put it on the table.

With her other hand, she held his wrist and coaxed him like a child: "Go back to your room, I'll bring some cold water to wipe your body."

Gu Fei had no expression on his face. When he was told to go back, he said in a low and oppressive tone, "Give me the cold water."

Seeing his lifeless eyes staring at him lazily, Li Xiaoyu took a step forward and stood between him and the table.

He took a deep breath helplessly and coaxed her gently, "You don't know how annoying it is to carry water if you don't run the household. Last time, it took you more than an hour to get your fever down. Even if you poured all the water in the water tank on yourself, it wouldn't go down."

Gu Fei couldn't hear anything at this moment. He could only feel his whole body getting hot while sleepwalking.

He held Li Xiaoyu's hand with his left hand and found that her hand was cold.

He took her hand and put it to his face, and said in a low and hoarse voice with a restrained discomfort: "It's hot."

When his five fingers touched his delicate skin, Li Xiaoyu's eyes narrowed and his heart was startled. It felt like a feather was gently brushing across the palm of his hand.

Crispy and numb.

The strange feeling made her panic, "Gu Fei, let go."

She tried to pull her hand away twice, but to no avail. Gu Fei rubbed his face against her like a puppy.

But what he said was extremely domineering: "Your hand is cool, it's mine."

"How about I stomp it off and give it to you?" Li Xiaoyu pursed his lips, coughed, and replied speechlessly.

The man was silent for a moment, seemingly thinking about the feasibility.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyu was really afraid that he would stomp his hand, so he put down the oil lamp, stood on tiptoe, and tentatively stretched out his other hand to gently touch his face.

"Be good, let's go back to the room. The cold water is colder than my hands. I'll get some to wipe you down."

Gu Fei, who was sleepwalking, was stubborn and cold, "No, it's cool here."

Li Xiaoyu couldn't help but rolled his eyes at him. It seemed that anywhere was cooler than the room.

Still smiling, he said, "Then sit here and I'll wipe your body."

The air was quiet for a while.

The man released her hand and she saw him walking behind the stove. She thought he was going to boil the pot and was about to stop him.

But he bent down, and when he stood up again, he was holding a small stool in his hand.

He limped over and put a small stool in front of him. He sat on the stool with his body straight.

His thin lips parted slightly: "Wipe it off."

Looking down at the top of his head, Li Xiaoyu looked speechless.

"You really treat me like a maid?"

If it wasn't for the chance of risking my life, I would really want to wake you up and let you die.

Pour the water in the gourd ladle into the basin, carry the basin to the water tank to scoop water, and watch the water line in the water tank gradually drop.

She felt the pain in her shoulder again.

A cool breeze blew in from outside, and her already cold body made her limbs even colder.

Just as she tightened her collar, a deep voice came from behind her: "You are not my maid."

Li Xiaoyu paused and turned his head to see that Gu Fei had already taken off her top, her fair skin was covered with hot sweat.

The lights flickered, casting a faint warm light on him, and his chest rose and fell with his breathing.

Hot sweat flowed down, giving him a wild and fragile beauty.

Li Xiaoyu scratched his ear, tilted his head and coughed, then asked, "Then what am I?"

Turning back to scoop water, she didn't expect Gu Fei to say anything nice. It was true. He said, "I'm going to kill my wife in half a year."

"..."

It would be fine if it was shortened from one year to half a year, but he even made it sound so open about killing his wife.

Li Xiaoyu didn't want to talk anymore.

Putting the gourd ladle gently on the table, she picked up the basin and walked towards the man, standing one step behind him, staring at him with a pursed mouth and a resentful look.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at the basin in his hand.

After thinking about it, I decided to give up the idea. If I poured this basin of water on him, there would be no chance of survival.

Go get the handkerchief from the rack outside.

She wet the handkerchief, wrung it out, unfolded it and put it against his back, scrubbing the thin layer of cold sweat off with the force of a bath.

The force was so great that Gu Fei frowned slightly.

He didn't say anything either.

When it was his turn, Li Xiaoyu rubbed the handkerchief clean and put it in his hand unhappily, "Wipe it yourself."

Gu Fei touched the handkerchief in his hand and pulled her wrist along the handkerchief.

Then he held her hand with his five fingers, squeezed in through the gaps between them, clasped their fingers together, and ordered coldly: "Your hands are cold, you come."

Listening to his commanding tone, Li Xiaoyu thought of the terrible things that dog leader had done before her grandfather was critically ill, which made her rebellious.

The last time Gu Fei ordered him, he didn't feel angry because he felt sorry for him, but now he was thinking about her death all the time.

Even if she pretends to be a grandson, she is not a real grandson.

She looked at the two people's intertwined fingers and shook them twice, but failed to loosen them. She then used her other hand to pry them apart, but to no avail.

She stared at the man and said unhappily, "Let go."

Gu Fei didn't care about her anger and said coldly, "Wipe it for me."

"Fuck you, your right hand doesn't work, use your left hand," Li Xiaoyu retorted while gritting his teeth to break free from the man's restraints, "Are you going to loosen up or not? If not, I'll wake you up and let you die."

Gu Fei didn't understand the latter sentence. He only knew that Li Xiaoyu was getting further and further away from him.

The cool feeling that brought him peace of mind also left.

He doesn't allow this to happen.

He pulled his hand in front of him, and the woman, who had no time to react, fell on him unexpectedly, her legs about to touch the man's knees.

Li Xiaoyu was afraid of hitting his injured knee, so he crossed his legs in shock.

She pressed her body against Gu Fei's naked upper body.

Gu Fei, who was hit in the face, felt something was squeezing his breathing, so he took Li Xiaoyu's hand and pushed her down.

The woman, still in a daze, sat on the man's thigh.
