The next day, when Mu Zhiming woke up, it was already broad daylight. He turned his head and found that Gu Heyan was not in the room. Mu Zhiming pressed his left hand on his forehead and slowly raised himself up. Feeling his sanity return to his body, he beat him angrily. his head.

The first thought that popped into his mind after waking up was wanting to die, because his body was so uncomfortable, his headache was splitting, and his stomach was churning even though it was empty.

The second thought was that he still wanted to die, because he couldn't remember what happened last night, and his last memory was on letting Gu Heyan knock himself out.

The third thought was still wanting to die. Although Mu Zhiming couldn't remember what happened last night, he knew that he must have gone drunk.

When Mu Zhiming was 12 years old, he drank realgar wine at the reunion banquet of the Mid-Autumn Festival. When he woke up the next day, he found that his body was covered in ink marks. , no one can stop it.

It’s not written on paper, but on walls, tables, clothes, quilts, and vases. He doesn’t write when he can, and he has to write when he can’t.

Since then, Mu Zhiming seldom touches alcohol, and occasionally when he has to drink, he will never drink too much to get drunk.

How could he know that once he lost his composure after surpassing, he was still in front of Gu Heyan.

Mu Zhiming put his head in his hands in a breakdown, trying to recall what happened last night, but no matter how hard he tried, his head was still empty.

Just as Mu Zhiming was crying inwardly, the door was pushed open, and Gu Heyan walked in.

Mu Zhiming was frightened, looked up, met Gu Heyan's eyes, after a while, Gu Heyan looked away first, walked to the side of the bed, and gently put the things brought in Mu Zhiming's hands.

It was a bowl of warm, sweet and glutinous millet porridge that nourished the stomach, just what Mu Zhiming, who had a hangover and stomach ache, needed most.

"Ah...thank you." Mu Zhiming thanked quickly.

Gu Heyan nodded, with no fluctuations in his tone: "Let's go."

Mu Zhiming picked up the spoon and gently stirred the millet porridge, and said in a sly way: "Brother He, I...was drunk last night."

Gu Heyan: "Yes."

Mu Zhiming smiled awkwardly: "I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, right? I...don't remember anything..."

Gu Heyan's eyes trembled slightly, and he asked, "Don't remember?"

"Yes, yes." Mu Zhiming carefully looked at his face, "I've been like this since I was a child. When I get drunk, I go crazy with alcohol. When I wake up the next day, I can't remember anything. Did I scare you last night? I Did you do anything excessive?"

Gu Heyan said softly, "No."

"I'm sorry." Mu Zhiming said, "I'm sorry, please take care of me."

"If the porridge doesn't boil anymore, it should be cold." Gu Heyan said.

"I'm going to eat it now." Mu Zhiming quickly lowered his head to eat the porridge. He observed Gu Heyan from the corner of his eye. Seeing that Gu Heyan's expression was as usual, and he didn't show any disgust or dislike towards him, he thought to himself: Could it be that yesterday he Did he really not go crazy, just fell asleep after getting drunk?

After eating the porridge, Mu Zhiming felt a lot more comfortable in his stomach, and the two began to discuss the next itinerary.

Now all the questions I want to understand have been answered, logically speaking, I should go back to the barracks immediately, but Mu Zhiming is thinking about one thing.

"Brother He, do you still remember the girl fetching water we met when we first came to the village?" Mu Zhiming asked.

"En." Gu Heyan nodded.

"She mentioned an old woman, and said that this old woman is the only one in the village who knows why the big stone can protect the village from being plundered by foreigners." Mu Zhiming said, "I want to meet her, I always feel that she knows something I want to know thing."

Gu Heyan: "Then go and meet."

The two first went to look for the water fetching girl they met that day, and the girl told them enthusiastically that the old woman lived at the end of the village and her family was named Feng.The two thanked each other and left. When they came to the end of the village, they saw an ancient ancestral hall surrounded by sandalwood and green smoke, and several Zongjiao children were playing and kicking stones in the open space in front of them.

Mu Zhiming stepped forward with his eyes bent and smiled: "May I ask who of you knows Granny Feng?"

A boy with soaring braids looked up: "Are you looking for my grandma?"

"Grandma Feng is your grandma?" Mu Zhiming's eyes fell on him, he squatted down and looked at the little boy at the same level, with a gentle smile, "Can you show me her?"

"Yes." The boy nodded, and led Mu Zhiming and Gu Heyan to the loess room next to the ancient ancestral hall. When they reached the front of the courtyard, the little boy ran in with his heels on, "Father, mother, someone wants to see the ancestors." Grandma!"

The villagers in the village were very enthusiastic, and this family was no exception. After welcoming Mu Zhiming and Gu Heyan into the house, they asked about their intentions.

Mu Zhiming saluted and said: "I have traveled here to collect folk songs, and I am very interested in the calligraphy and paintings carved on the big rock in the village. I heard that Granny Feng knew what it meant, so I came here to ask for advice."

"That's it." The male host nodded, and said with some embarrassment, "The old man is not feeling well today, and he has a headache. He just rested. Why don't you two come back tomorrow afternoon."

"What a coincidence?" Mu Zhiming said regretfully, "Then we will visit again tomorrow."

After bidding farewell to this family, the two walked towards the inn, they were silent all the way, approaching the inn, Mu Zhiming couldn't help but said: "I...was really not drunk last night?"

Gu Heyan glanced at him, seeing his tangled expression full of ignorant distress, so he said, "You climbed up the gate at the entrance of the village."

Mu Zhiming: "...What? The city gate? I climbed up? Ah? How did I climb up?"

Gu Heyan shook his head.

Mu Zhiming felt helpless and funny: "Then how did I get down?"

Gu Heyan hesitated for a moment: "I carried you down."

Mu Zhiming was stunned, and quickly reacted: "Thank you Brother He for taking care of me."

Gu Heyan said softly, "It's nothing."

Mu Zhiming heaved a sigh of relief after knowing what he had done, but what followed was a little annoyance.

How could he not remember anything?Wouldn't it be a pity that Gu Heyan couldn't even remember what he had told him.

The two walked into the inn while talking, but the moment they stepped into the inn, they each froze for a moment.

There was actually a diner in this small inn that hadn't welcomed anyone for a long time. The man looked like a swordsman, dressed in a dark gray thick cotton coat, sitting near the window, he glanced over after hearing the sound, with some surprise in his eyes.

After all, the war had just ended, and this place was too close to Gouji. It was impossible for ordinary people to come to this remote village.

The man turned his eyes around Gu Heyan and Mu Zhiming, raised his brows slightly in surprise, but quickly turned his eyes back indifferently.

Mu Zhiming was stunned when he saw his face, fearing that his eyes would reveal his thoughts, he looked at the ground in a panic, but suddenly forgot to walk and froze in place.

"What's wrong?" Gu Heyan noticed something was wrong with him and asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, let's go up." Mu Zhiming smiled at Gu Heyan.

Gu Heyan didn't ask any more questions, and walked towards the second floor. Mu Zhiming followed behind him, his smile gradually subsiding.

Mu Zhiming knew that person, his name was Xiao Ren, and he was Fu Yi's secret guard!

In the previous life, Mu Zhiming met him once. At that time, Mu Zhiming felt that this person regarded money as his life and was extremely greedy. He asked Fu Yi why he kept him as a secret guard. Fu Yi said: As long as you give money, he will Get things done and worry about it.

Why did Xiao Ren appear in this frontier now?Has something to do with Fu Yike?
