"Have you heard that that kid from the Gu family picked up a stupid wife?"

"Ah, my wife can still pick it up?"

"I heard that it was similar to the Gu family's baby before. He was dragged into the water by the water monkey. Fortunately, he didn't die and was rescued by him."

"What about that girl Yu Qing?"

"Who knows?"

"But I heard that the woman is very dark and not as good-looking as the girl from the Yu family."

"..."

Hearing the aunts' discussion, Yu Qing stopped, then turned around and walked through another alley.

When she arrived at the door of Gu Xing's house, the courtyard door was closed, and she wanted to go to the wall.

But her legs were already squatting down, and before she jumped, she was worried that she would see something she couldn't see, so she moved to the door and knocked slowly.

"Who is it?" a cry came from inside.

"Ah Xing, me."

"Yu Qing?"

An eye peeked out from the crack in the door, and then the courtyard door opened, revealing Gu Xing's somewhat embarrassed face.

"Is something wrong?" he asked.

Yu Qing looked up at him with some resentment.

"Did you forget it?"

"what?"

"I agreed to come to my house after the market. I've been waiting. How many days have it been?"

Gu Xing slapped his head and apologized quickly.

"Ah, I'm sorry, there have been a lot of things lately, I forgot."

There were indeed a lot of things to do. He was busy practicing, and Yu Qing's matters were put aside by him.

However, it can also be seen that Gu Xing does not have any thoughts about Qing between men and women.

This proves that he is not a pervert.

"I heard that you recently picked up a wife?"

"Huh? Wife? Who did you listen to?"

"Aunt Niu, Aunt Niu and the others."

"..."

There really is no world without a gossipy aunt.

"Ugh!"

Gu Xing sighed and immediately let the courtyard door open.

"Come in and take a look."

Yu Qing walked in immediately, and immediately saw the woman sitting quietly in the corner of the yard.

The woman lowered her head, her face was so dark that she couldn't see her face clearly.

But it’s definitely not pretty if it’s so dark.

And her clothes were also very sloppy. Her clothes were a little new, but they were men's clothes, which were looser and looked a little bloated.

Apart from her quiet temperament, there seems to be nothing that compares to her.

She was a little happy and asked.

"What is she doing?"

"Where are you playing with ants?" Gu Xing was helpless, the woman he picked up in front of him was a bit stupid.

"Ah, what a fool?"

Gu Xing recalled the previous confrontation between the other party and the commander of the city guard army and nodded.

"What a fool."

"Then why did you bring her back? Do you know her?"

"I don't know her." Gu Xing shook his head, "But she seems to only recognize me and follows me all the time. Anyone else who comes near her will be attacked."

"She is very powerful. Yesterday she just pushed and the captain's hand was broken."

Fortunately, she didn't seem to be using any force, otherwise Gu Xing guessed that the captain might not even be alive now.

"Then what are you going to do? And...did you change her clothes?"

Yu Qing stared at Gu Xing.

"Don't get me wrong, she can wear the clothes herself, I just gave them to her."

Although I didn’t shy away from myself when changing clothes...

Gu Xing touched his nose and continued.

"As for how to deal with it, I haven't thought about it yet. She has been following me wherever I go. But since the morning clock doesn't respond to her, it depends on when she leaves."

"What if she follows you for the rest of her life?"

"Uh, that's unlikely, right?"

Yu Qing pouted and looked at him without saying anything.

"Then let's take a look after some time. We can't leave her outside the village."

Yu Qing's pouting mouth calmed down, she said.

"Then will you go to my house for dinner this afternoon?"

"Eating? You have also seen that with her looking like this and following me all the time, it is not easy for me to go out. Maybe next time."

"Next time?"

"It can't be helped!"

In the end, Yu Qing left angrily.

Gu Xi reluctantly returned to the courtyard and sat next to the woman.

She had been following him since he fished her out of the water, and she didn't know if he was the reason why he fished her out.

However, her appearance is very beautiful.

However, in order to avoid other people's attention, he took off her mask when he was fishing for her. At the same time, he also grabbed a handful of mud and applied it to her face. In addition, her end was soaked in water like seaweed. His hair and tattered clothes were no longer distinguishable. At first, everyone thought Gu Xing had caught a water monkey.

This was not because Gu Xing wanted to hide his beauty in a golden house, but because her identity was not known to others.

From her current situation, coupled with the strange news that Yucheng has been destroyed, it is not difficult to guess that even if it is a conspiracy, this person also went to deal with the locust plague.

It's just that those people in Yucheng probably wanted her life, but they didn't expect that they finally let her escape and flowed down the river to Niuben Village.

Therefore, we can't let others discover her true identity, and we can't let the news that she was rescued by Gu Xing spread widely, otherwise there will be trouble.

Even so, Gu Xing took a big risk.

But thinking that the other party saved his life, Gu Xing had no choice but to take him home.

When he got home, Gu Xing gave her new clothes that he was reluctant to wear. He also painted her face black with plant ash and made her hair look like a chicken coop.

In this way, even if someone sees her, they probably won't be able to equate her with the mysterious bronze masked man with a crying face in the market.

As for her sitting here looking at ants, Gu Xing is not just talking nonsense, she is indeed looking at ants.

Nowadays, her brain seems to have been severely damaged. In addition to subconscious behaviors, she behaves like a two or three-year-old child.

How should I put it? She can serve the bowl when eating, take shelter when it rains, and change her clothes when asked.

But she couldn't speak. When she had nothing to do, she looked at the white clouds in the sky and the ants on the ground. Gu Xing followed him a few meters away, but as soon as Gu Xing stopped, she squatted on the ground again to look for ants and bugs.

"Hey, what should I do?" Gu Xing was also a little worried about how to deal with her.

"By the way, you really can't speak?"

The woman looked up at Gu Xing and tilted her head, as if she was understanding what he was saying.

Suddenly, she picked up an ant from the ground and handed it to Gu Xing, squinting her eyes and looking at him with a smile.

Gu Xing smiled helplessly, took the ant from her, and reached out to rub her chicken coop.

She didn't object and kept playing with the ants with her head down.

Seeing how innocent she looked, Gu Xing also smiled.

"Forget it, let's keep it up for now, there's no shortage of food anyway!"

After making the decision, he didn't bother to think too much and started practicing on the spot.

Cultivation starts with diligence and cannot be lazy.

Whenever there is an opportunity, Gu Xing will practice.

And just as he was practicing for a while, a clear and ethereal voice suddenly came from next to him.

"This is wrong!"

Gu Xing was stunned for a moment, stopped practicing, and then turned around.

She opened her eyes wide, tilted her head, pointed at Gu Xing's chest, and repeated it again.

"Something's wrong here!"
