After much persuasion from Gu Xiaoxiao, Gu Xinyue, who always doted on her daughter, finally gave Gu Jiu three days of vacation.
Embroidering half a flower every day may not seem to take much time, but it is torture for Gu Jiu.
Because his energy is really limited.
If the average person's daily energy is as large as an egg, then Gu Jiu's energy is probably only as large as a grain of rice. Fortunately, he is very efficient, otherwise he would not be able to complete the task at all.
Changing the logo to a sword cloud during the three-day holiday seems to be a good deal, but only Gu Jiu knows that it is actually a bit of a loss.
However, thinking that Gu Xiaoxiao was his own sister, Gu Jiu didn't care much.
The next day, he spent nearly a cup of tea embroidering a sword cloud logo on the chest of Gu Xiaoxiao's favorite pink coat.
When Gu Xiaoxiao saw the embroidered logo, she was so excited that she turned around several times like a butterfly.
Gu Jiu's embroidery skills are not extraordinary, but they are definitely at the master level. The white clouds she embroidered are so soft that they seem to be drifting away with the wind, and the thin sword in the clouds is even more lifelike, as if it will break through the clouds at any time.
The vividness of this kind of embroidery far exceeds that of Gu Ningshuang's sect clothes.
It's a strange feeling, like a knockoff product beating the authentic one.
Gu Xiaoxiao became happier and happier as she watched. Suddenly, she leaned over, kissed Gu Jiu on the cheek, and ran away...
At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the petals on a peach tree suddenly fell in a riot of color.
The pink petals scattered on Gu Jiu's clean robe looked very beautiful.
Gu Jiu lay there, touching the cheek that had just been kissed by his sister, with his eyebrows slightly raised.
He was thinking about what was going on.
If we look at it from the perspective of the three views on Earth, a kiss between a beautiful sister and her brother is actually quite pure; but if we look at it from the perspective of this world, it is similar to a kiss between a younger brother and his older sister on Earth, which is also quite pure.
So, the pure Gu Jiu smiled.
He looked so handsome when he smiled that the flying peach petals seemed to have lost their color.
Fourth brother Gu Xing accidentally saw this scene, swallowed his saliva, and then became angry in an instant.
The man is so good-looking, but he looks like a pervert at first glance!
If you marry an unsatisfied woman in the future, I wonder how you will live!
……
In recent times, Gu Jiu has become more and more "diligent", at least that's what he thinks.
Although he still spent most of the day lying down as usual and did the same little work, he was the only one who knew how hard he was working.
Circulating the "Jade Crane Power" for eight cycles every day has become a compulsory course for Gu Jiu. As the jade crane in his qi sea becomes clearer and clearer, he feels that his body has improved a lot.
For example, although he still spends eighteen hours sleeping every day, he is no longer in a blank state when he is awake. Instead, he spends a certain amount of time thinking.
When humans think, God laughs.
For Gu Jiu, he felt sleepy as soon as he started thinking.
However, this situation has gradually improved, proving that cultivation is effective.
Gu is 96 years old this year, and she still has two years left before she reaches adulthood and gets married. He estimates that by then, no matter how hard he works, he will have to leave the Gu family.
"A boy who has grown up should not be kept at home!" and "A married boy is like spilled water." These are common sayings in this world.
Gu Jiu thought about it and thought that his mother would definitely find a good family for him.
But as his health got better, he gradually began to want to go out for a walk.
Yes, if he was still in the same state as before, sleeping for 24 hours out of 20 hours a day and being in a daze when he woke up, he naturally would not feel bored.
Correspondingly, he doesn't have to worry too much about getting married. After all, he just lies down every day and doesn't have to use his brain. At most, he can pray that the woman can be gentle to him. If she knows that he doesn't want to move, she can move on top herself.
But once he began to think, began to think about the various aspects of this world, the human instinctive desire to explore burned like a flame.
Gu Jiu remembered the water ghost he killed when he was a baby and realized that there were ghosts in this world.
Every Chinese New Year, the eldest sister Gu Ningshuang came back with a cold face. Even her strong mother had to be submissive to her. She knew that in this world, being able to enter a sect to practice cultivation was a very remarkable thing, much more awesome than getting into a prestigious university on Earth.
He also remembered that the women in this world were very good-looking. Although they were a bit strong, they might become virtuous wives after being trained.
When thinking of women, Gu Jiu remembered that he had never been in love since he came into this world.
(Damn, I didn’t seem to have been in love in my previous life.)
He felt that if he married a woman with whom he had never spoken in two years, the marriage would definitely be unhappy.
As a time traveler, the awareness of freedom in love is a must.
This spring, Gu Jiu thought a lot, probably more than he had thought in the previous sixteen years.
So he decided to gain his freedom before he came of age.
Of course, the premise for all this is that he is no longer so lazy and sleepy.
Thinking of the word "sleepiness", Gu Jiu fell asleep again.
Gu Jiu didn't notice that his sister Gu Xiaoxiao, who had never looked him in the eye before, was now hiding not far away and secretly looking at him with red cheeks, looking very cute.
He didn't expect that one of his embroidery would activate some strange attributes of Gu Xiaoxiao.
Yes, in Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes, Gu Jiu has become more and more pleasing to the eye recently. Just lying there is a beautiful scenery.
……
Late at night, everything is quiet. Looking down from the sky, there are only a few swaying lights in Linshui Town, like a sleeping giant beast.
Although Linshui Town is not small, it is not prosperous. The wharf outside the town was abandoned decades ago, so there are not many outsiders coming in and out, and there is no tourism industry to speak of.
Every night, except for a few pubs, all other shops in the town are closed.
As for the legendary brothel, the people in the town had never even heard of it. If the wealthy young ladies wanted to go there to have fun, they had to go to Yanyang City, hundreds of miles away.
It's said that there's a street in Yanyang City that's filled with red lanterns at night, and filled with all kinds of men. As soon as you walk into that street, you'll be overwhelmed by the cries of "Miss, come play!"
This is a topic that some hungry women in Linshui Town often talk about. They talk about it passionately every time, and then go back to "torture" their men, so that the men of these women usually have panda eyes, pale skin, and look a little malnourished.
It was already one hour into the night, and on a street north of Linshui Town, a lantern was slowly moving.
The lantern looked lonely in the darkness, swaying from side to side, as if it would go out at any moment.
Wang Xiaosi had a bad day today. He was beaten up by his wife during the day, so he ran away from home in anger.
But his wife ignored him, which made him very angry because it showed that his woman did not love him.
So Wang Xiaosi went to a tavern in the south of the town to drink alone. You know, it is not common for a man to go to a tavern to drink alone, especially if you are delicate and tender, it is easy for people to take advantage of you.
For example, Wang Xiaosi had been touched all over by two wandering women and the tavern owner.
Thinking of those dirty hands that had been on him before, Wang Xiaosi's cheeks flushed red and he cursed, "These stinky women!"
He drank a little too much, so his body was a little shaky. He was afraid that he would be eaten up by some women with bad intentions, so he decided to go home. After all, he was a married man.
Ahead, the Liu family’s red lanterns were already within sight.
The Liu family is a wealthy family in the town, ranking among the top three in status, so they hang two lanterns in front of the gate every night to show their status. This is a waste that ordinary families cannot afford.
Wang Xiaosi's home was not far from the Liu family's. It was a few tiled houses, considered quite standard in the town, but it was far inferior to the Liu family's mansion. There was a world of difference.
When he walked to the door of Liu's house, his body was already a little shaky.
The two stone lions that looked so majestic in the daytime now looked a little scary under the red light.
Those two pairs of eyes, as big as copper bells, always give people the feeling that they are staring at you.
At this time, a gust of cold wind blew, and Wang Xiaosi couldn't help shivering, and became much more sober.
In the flickering light of the lantern in his hand, he suddenly discovered a person squatting next to the stone lion in front of him.
The man squatted in the shadows without moving, looking a little strange, even a little inhuman.
Wang Xiaosi's hair stood on end, and he shouted, "Who's there?"
Unfortunately, the man just squatted there, motionless, and didn't give him any response.
Wang Xiaosi suddenly panicked and ran forward. However, because of his panic and drinking, his steps were unstable and he fell to the ground with a bang.
The lantern in his hand, which he had borrowed from the tavern at the cost of his chastity, also rolled out.
After rolling about ten feet, the lantern stopped and landed right near the "person".
Wang Xiaosi looked up and saw a hairy creature standing there. He screamed in fright and wet his pants.
He wanted to escape, but his legs were weak and he was drunk, so he couldn't even stand up.
After a while, the furry creature was still squatting there, not moving.
Wang Xiaosi was so frightened that his mind went blank. He squinted his eyes and saw that it was a straw man.
You bastard, who put a scarecrow here to scare me!
The scarecrow is wearing a ragged gray coat and the grass is rather fluffy, so at first glance it looks like a furry ghost.
Such scarecrows are usually used to drive away birds in farmland. But some unlucky kid moved here and scared him to death.
Wang Xiaosi felt miserable at the thought of having to go back home with his pants wet. He really wouldn't be able to explain it to his woman.
If you run away from home in the middle of the night and come back after being peed by someone, won’t you get beaten again?
Maybe he would even be hung up and beaten!
Thinking about all these things, Wang Xiaosi couldn't help but burst into tears, feeling that his life was so miserable.
However, when Wang Xiaosi saw the scarecrow hiding there, he felt scared.
The scarecrow's facial features, made of rags, are crooked and look particularly scary at night.
So he quickly rolled over and crawled to his feet, picked up the lantern on the ground, and rushed home in a hurry.
Wang Xiaosi didn't see that when he left, the scarecrow's two eyes made of black rags moved, as if watching him leave.
……
……
The night is getting deeper...
Chapter 9: Flowers gradually catch the eye
At three o'clock in the morning, at Liu's residence, the night wind was cool.
The undulating architectural outlines of the Liu Mansion look like a scene from a freehand painting at night.
At this time, almost everyone in the Liu Mansion was asleep, only Shen Zhu and a few guards were still patrolling.
The Liu family is a wealthy family in Linshui Town. They are very wealthy, so they naturally have to be on guard against thieves.
Not to mention stealing valuable things from the house, even scaring those fair-skinned young men is not good, especially since there are more and more flower thieves recently.
Spring is the mating season, and flower thieves are no exception.
It is said that the flower thief named Hua Feifei who was recently arrested by the government specifically targeted the sons of wealthy families. He committed crimes while on the move and no one knows how many good young men he has harmed. This puts a lot of pressure on Shen Zhu, the head of the Liu family's guards.
Look, we have to go out on patrol in the middle of the night.
Shen Zhu was holding a lantern, with a sword on her waist, and was wearing a green gauze dress. There was a heroic look between her eyebrows and eyes, and she had a bit of the demeanor of a female knight.
She is over 30 years old this year. Because she used to be a slave in a sect and secretly learned some basic martial arts, she has no problem beating up three or four petty thieves. In addition, she is indeed conscientious and responsible, so she is valued by the Liu family.
Also because of years of practice, Shen Zhu, who is in his thirties, has maintained a good figure and appearance, with bright eyes. He is considered a top figure in the Liu family.
However, no matter how energetic she was, she still felt a little tired due to the recent reversal of day and night, and she couldn't help but yawn.
As a wealthy family, the Liu family would light a lantern every few meters to facilitate walking at night.
At this time, Shen Zhu came to a small attic of the Shen family with a lantern, and then suddenly stopped.
It was because she heard a series of tinkling sounds, like the sound of beads rolling down the stairs.
This small attic belongs to Liu Yin, the eldest daughter of the Liu family. It is located in the southwest of the Shen family. Outside is an artificial lake and a long corridor, which can be regarded as the private space of the eldest daughter of the Liu family.
It’s just that the eldest daughter went out for a long trip recently, so I’ve been free for a while.
At this time, there was a noise coming from inside, which naturally attracted the attention of the guard leader Shen Zhu.
Shen Zhu remained calm, pressed the handle of the knife at his waist, pushed the door, and found that the door actually opened with a creak.
The room was empty, so naturally there were no lights on. There was only a red lantern hanging outside, which was half-extinguished in the night wind, so the lighting inside was not very good.
