happy event under the tree

When Gu Xi woke up, the setting sun was lying on the shoulder of the mountain, and there was still half of his face refusing to fall.

He rubbed his face against the fur edge of the blanket and slept better than ever.

Gu Xi froze for a while, then closed her eyes fiercely, as if she had made up her mind.

He stood up and went downstairs, only to see Mu Linyuan sitting on the threshold, with rabbits and sparrows all around his feet.

The sparrow jumped and jumped, the soles of the feet seemed to be equipped with springs, and they bounced high and high.

The rabbit snorted at the side, pulled Mu Linyuan's clothes and asked, "It obviously has two legs, why doesn't it walk around?"

Without waiting for Mu Linyuan's answer, the rabbit imitated the sparrow again. It straightened its legs and jumped on the ground like a pole: "I know, I know, does it have no knees?"

Mu Linyuan smiled at its silly appearance, rubbed its head, and heard Gu Xi's voice coming downstairs: "Are you awake?"

"En." Gu Xi handed him back the folded blanket in his arms, "Thank you, I should go back."

Mu Linyuan glanced at the sky: "It's probably going to be dark on the way back now, and there will be a rain at night—"

The rabbit immediately answered: "Stay here!"

Gu Xi glanced at Mu Linyuan: "Is it okay..."

"What's wrong?" Du Chuan regained his sober appearance at some point, and walked from behind him, "I caught a chicken, will you do it?"

"Will it be..."

"That's fine," Du Chuan greeted him, "Then we have dinner, let's go to the kitchen."

This is the first time Gu Xi stepped into Mu Linyuan's kitchen. It is square, with pots and stoves and a sink, and it is as clean as expected.It turns out that monsters are also so down-to-earth.

Seeing him looking around curiously, Du Chuan asked, "Do you think monsters don't need to eat?"

Gu Xi shook his head: "No, no, I know Baibai because it eats the corn in my house." He pointed to a few old electrical appliances on the quaint wooden table, "I just didn't expect to keep up with the times so much." of……"

Du Chuan frowned and said, "Mu Linyuan, these old antiques could have been thrown away a long time ago, what are you doing!"

Mu Linyuan poked his head in from outside the door: "I don't use it a few times, so I cook some sweet corn for nothing." He picked a basket of fresh vegetables and said to Gu Xi, "You Let's see what's useful."

Gu Xi took it casually, a few juicy cucumbers, a few green and yellow tomatoes, a handful of long beans, and three small but fragrant melons, all freshly picked.

Gu Xi asked: "Can Baibai also eat cooked food?"

"Rabbits are omnivorous. They used to eat melons and fruits just because they were lazy."

"What about you?" Gu Xi asked again, "Do you have any taboos? Or is there anything you like to eat?"

"In human form, you can basically eat anything, but I prefer something lighter."

"Well, I know."

"Then please."

Bai Bai was also super excited, handing over a handful of freshly plucked shallots, and stuffing a piece of freshly dug ginger.

Gu Xi coaxed it out, simmered half of the chicken into chicken soup, and put the other half into the rice cooker to make a simple and tender scallion chicken.I also fried some seasonal vegetables to make enough for a dinner table for one person and four monsters.

Gu Xi put some rice in a small plate, and tore some chicken and put it aside for Xiao Ma.Xiao Ma flapped her wings to protect her rice bowl, and chomped down on the soup on the table.

The rabbit had already turned into a human shape, and he poked a chicken leg with his chopsticks unskillfully, and the chicken soup dripped down his hand all the way to his elbow.

Du Chuan, who has always been elegant, looked at it quite disgustingly: "It looks like you haven't eaten much..." He turned to Mu Linyuan and said, "Why are you still the same as when you were with me, you didn't cook, He hasn't made any progress at all, just look at the way this child eats...it's better to have Gu Xi around, it's more like home, after all, he doesn't need to drink blood."

Mu Linyuan picked up a chopstick and fried the long beans, noncommittal.

Gu Xi filled a small bowl of chicken soup and put it in front of Mu Linyuan: "Try it, it's light, do you still get used to it?"

Mu Linyuan picked it up with one hand, and the oily flakes of chicken soup twirled mischievously a few times on the surface of the soup. He took a sip from the rim of the bowl, and commented: "It's pretty good."

Gu Xi's heart sank into her stomach, and she wiped her hands and mouth for Bai Bai, before picking up her rice bowl to eat.

It really started to rain at night, and the raindrops hit the leaves outside the window, ticking when it was sparse, and rustling when it was dense.

Only one light was turned on in the kitchen, and Mu Linyuan was washing dishes in the sink next to Gu Xi.

"Just let it go, I'll do it."

Mu Linyuan took another dishcloth: "It's okay, you are all guests anyway."

Gu Xi turned a soup bowl around in his hand: "It's too polite to call guests, we should be friends now, right?"

"Baibai relies on you very much, and Xiaoma also wants you to take care of him. You have helped us a lot when you came," Mu Linyuan said, "However, this takes up too much of your time."

"I think it's okay, I like it here too..."

Mu Linyuan's tone didn't fluctuate much, he said: "I have a proposal, I think that Xiaoma will be able to come back after Bai Bai is more sensible. During this period, I have to work hard and you can help me find out what medicine my crops need. He Fei, I think I will entrust them all to your shop." He smiled and said, "It won't make you lose money."

Gu Xi muttered: "Why do you need to calculate so clearly..."

Mu Linyuan didn't hear it, he took the soup bowl that Gu Xi had "touched" countless times and rinsed it under the water: "The field is barren, I have to rely on you."

After taking a bath, I rubbed the rabbit's swollen belly for a while, and it was time to rest late at night.

Gu Xi scrubbed carelessly, touched Mu Linyuan's bed, and sank into the soft bed carefully.He didn't even dare to make a big move, as if all this was a flimsy dream.

For a moment, Gu Xi's mind was empty and he didn't think about anything.

It was freezing rain outside, and the house was quiet. At least for this moment, warmth surrounded him tightly.

"Gu Xi, are you asleep?"

Gu Xi suddenly sat up from the bed, and hurriedly replied: "No."

Mu Linyuan pushed the door and stood at the door, holding the blanket from the day in his hand: "It will be cold at night, you can put this on it."

"Okay." Gu Xi went down to the ground with bare feet, ran over to take the blanket from Mu Linyuan, but didn't put it back on the bed immediately, he looked at Mu Linyuan and said, "Brother Mu, can you talk to me?" ?”

Mu Linyuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Gu Xi's voice was a little unsteady, and he said: "I thought about what you said to me just now, and I feel that I took advantage of it. Your family's land is so large, it is a huge deal for my small shop , what I sell in a year may not be worth as much as you use in a season. So, I can take care of Baibai and Xiaoma..."

"No, Gu Xi, you don't understand," Mu Linyuan interrupted him, "I took advantage of it."

Gu Xi looked at Mu Linyuan with some puzzlement.

Mu Linyuan said: "For me, time is a long time. Sometimes it may take me ten years to sleep. The moment in my eyes may be a day you spend here. Isn't it because I took advantage of it?" ?"

Gu Xi hung his head and said nothing.

Mu Linyuan sighed, pulled him to sit on the bed, and stuffed his bare feet into the quilt.He said: "Gu Xi, have you ever thought that you have taken care of Xiao Ma for decades, maybe it is still such a little monster who can't transform, and Bai Bai is still a naive little rabbit. When they grow up, Forgot about you..."

Gu Xi's tone sounded pitiful: "Are you driving me away..."

"It's you who makes the decision. I'm just persuading you. I've been persuading you from the very beginning... You understand that your time spent on us monsters may not be able to get the same return."

"The shemale is different..."

Mu Linyuan stared at his face and said: "This is unequal and unfair. Even so, are you still willing?"

The author has something to say:

Have you noticed that little Gu Xi seems to be taking the initiative a little bit?Do you want to try chasing the big tree monster?
