Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

"Just be happy. How's your diet? Do what you can. Don't hurt yourself by exercising too hard all at once." Gu Yue hurriedly showed concern and helped him open the snack package. "Don't worry. It doesn't matter if you can't make any progress."

"Very good, with meat." Gu Xu didn't stretch out his hand, looking at the snack that Gu Yue handed to him, "My arm hurts."

"Ah? What's going on?" Gu Yue picked up a piece of dessert, broke it open and fed it to him.

"Why doesn't it matter?" Gu Xu looked at him and asked.

Gu Yue was holding the snack, not knowing whether to put it down or continue holding it: "What?"

"Dad said it doesn't matter." Gu Xu lowered his eyes to look at the snack and put it into his mouth.

"Oh... everyone has their own strengths. If one doesn't work, try another. Don't force it." Gu Yue said.

Gu Yue then remembered that Gu Xu was still standing, and quickly gave the chair to him.

"What will happen to Dad if I don't accomplish anything?" Gu Xu stared at him.

How come you can't do anything? You are the male protagonist.

Gu Yue thought to himself.

"Then let's go home and farm." He patted Gu Xu's shoulder, a little worried that he had suffered a blow in the martial arts hall: "It's okay, you don't have to farm. I found a job that can make money. You don't have to worry about it."

"What kind of work?" Gu Xu asked him.

"Uh... I haven't found it yet, but I will find it." Gu Yue just remembered that he hadn't even started writing the article yet, and said awkwardly.

Gu Xu lowered his eyes.

Could it be related to those words? Since I didn't see Gu Yue mailing those papers, it couldn't be a letter. What could it be?

Gu Xu raised his eyes and saw Wu Feng standing in the shadows of the field in the distance. He should know where Gu Yue went in the morning.

The arranged young man in black came over at this time.

"Mr. Oishi? It's already noon, why don't you have lunch with us?"

Is there such a good thing? Gu Yue was delighted, but then he asked cautiously: "Is there anything else for Xiao Xu to eat?"

"...Of course, this is the family welfare of our martial arts school." The young man in black replied.

"Okay, okay." Gu Yue was very happy. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

So Gu Yue finally had a full meal since he traveled through time. When Gu Dashi's true appetite was revealed, the people around him were stunned.

Northern Qin was an imaginary dynasty, and all kinds of vegetables were basically available, so lunch was quite sumptuous. It was a common stew of pork, vermicelli, cabbage and radish in the Central Plains, served with steamed buns.

Even though Gu Yue didn't like stews very much, maybe because of the natural ingredients or the bland diet of days past, Gu Yue felt that the meal was extremely delicious. And unlike the takeout or canteen food in the modern world, the pork in the stew was large, soft and rotten, with alternating fat and lean meat, and it was extremely fragrant.

The steamed buns are a mixture of yellow and white flour, and are fermented to be quite soft. Although they are not as good as the large white flour steamed buns in the world today, they have a unique grain aroma of cornmeal.

In short...it smells good!

Gu Yue ate a pot of stew and six palm-sized steamed buns before he stopped with satisfaction.

Gu Xu looked at him and vaguely understood why he was asking around for information about Hangdou Bookstore. How could he eat enough just by farming? Was he thinking of going out to earn money because he was starving these days?

But Gu Yue wants to submit his work? Can he do it?

Gu Xu was vaguely worried.

The world of monsters should be bizarre...so it's okay, right?

He was not familiar with Zhen Suhang, the owner of Hangdou Bookstore, and this kind of thing could not be done through backdoors; it would require Gu Yue to have real talent and knowledge.

Never mind, why should he worry about that?

It’s up to Gu Yue to do whatever he wants and whether he can succeed. As long as it doesn’t affect his plan, just let him do it.

However, he felt that what happened to Gu Erhua last night was worth further investigation.

……

During lunch break, Gu Yue followed Gu Xu back to his bedroom.

In order to make the show complete and prevent those young apprentices from leaking the secret, Gu Xu lived with the apprentices. The martial arts hall even provided them with high-standard bedding, for fear that Gu Yue would become suspicious.

"What good conditions!" Gu Yue looked at the small room that was fully equipped. It not only had a kang and a desk, but also a washbasin, bookcases and daily necessities. Outside the door was a water tank, which the apprentices took turns to fetch water to replenish. It was very convenient.

The toilet is close, but there is no odor and it is even more comfortable than home.

It seems that the owner of the museum really put in a lot of effort, but the cost is very high, right?

Maybe the escort agency is particularly profitable. Gu Yue thinks it is better not to worry about others.

"You just said your arm hurts, what happened? Are you injured?" When Gu Yue thought of this, he always felt like a child acting coquettishly.

"I did arm strength training yesterday and I'm sore." Gu Xu said, "There's some medicine in the drawer, Dad, help me get it."

"Okay." Gu Yue rummaged through the drawer.

The wound medicine looked much more refined than the ones at home, and even better than the ones Uncle Beideng gave him. Gu Yue took out the trauma oil, poured some on his hand, and asked Gu Xu to stretch out his arm.

The light yellow medicinal oil was warmed by Gu Yue's palms, and he rubbed it on Gu Xu's thin arms.

Gu Yue used the amateur massage techniques he learned from short videos in his previous life to rub the medicated oil, then massaged from top to bottom, rubbing Gu Xu's arms until they turned slightly red.

The burning power of the medicine seemed to penetrate his skin, and Gu Xu watched silently.

"Has anything happened in the past few days?" Gu Xu suddenly asked.

"Ah? - Oh! I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it." Gu Yue suddenly realized. He almost forgot about the matter of that "His Highness".

"I met three people in the woods behind our village the night before..."

After briefly recounting their conversation, Gu Yue looked at Gu Xu hopefully.

Gu Xu's face was calm.

"So, what do you think, Xiao Xu?" Seeing that he didn't say anything, Gu Yue quickly asked again.

"What idea?" Gu Xu stared at him.

"Well... for example... uh..." Gu Yue considered again and again, would it be too purposeful to let Gu Xu take the opportunity to approach him? Or maybe this method of education is not right, it will easily make the child become snobbish...

"Dad wants me to get to know them?" Gu Xu's eyes turned slightly cold.

"Ah? Uh, although it's good to know some noble people, it will be very helpful for your future, but..." Gu Yue subconsciously didn't use the affirmative sentence, "Of course I hope you can know more people, it's also good to broaden your horizons, right?"

Sensing the subtle change in the atmosphere, he quickly found some more sensible additions: "But even if you are acquainted with an important person, you can't be too servile. People are essentially equal, so there's no need to put too much pressure on them, right? Haha..."

"Do you think that prince and I are equal?" Gu Xu did not miss any tiny expression of Gu Yue.

"Of course! My, Gu Dashi's son, is no worse than anyone else. We are all human beings." Gu Yue said subconsciously.

"You said that the common people in the countryside are equal to the prince?" Gu Xu asked.

"How could you be... I mean, in terms of personality, character." Gu Yue was completely confused.

"If I am not a country bumpkin, then what am I?"

"..."Gu Yue was speechless.
