I wanted to embrace my master and return home

The entire Liuyun Mountain was emptied, and even the sound of the rain became clear. The fog and mist were all seen, and the mountains were submerged in a haze. job.

Sitian Pavilion occupies too much land, most of the hundreds of servants and maidservants who used to go away, many places can't be taken care of, so Yu Shubai abandoned it, moved the valuables to the main hall, and only guarded the front few courtyards.

"Suddenly found that it's not a bad thing for people to leave. At least those who stay don't have to sleep in thatched dorms that may collapse at any time, and don't have to worry about saving food." Yu Shubai looked at the servants who came and went carrying vases and jade. With the maid, holding their chins, they expressed their feelings.

Gu Mou glanced at him, hesitated to speak, and then said, "I think you can still worry about it."

"Ok?"

"Didn't you find that you usually spend too much on food and clothing...do you pay attention to luxury?" Gu Mou licked his lips and said, "For example, today you ordered the transfer of valuables in the palace, and only took gold, silver, soft and precious jades , but ignored the rest of the mattresses and quilts, now that the rain is raging and the cold is heavy, if we don’t stock up more quilts and silks in the warehouse, what should we do if we can’t grow cotton in the fields anymore?”

After hearing this, Yu Shubai was stunned and said: "A quilt... I never cover a quilt. There are soft silk brocade quilts and silver charcoal palace lanterns in the storeroom. Gu Mou, you are too nervous."

"If I knew it wouldn't make sense to you, I would have already ordered someone to do it."

"Gu Mou, are you angry?" Yu Shubai looked innocent, and grabbed his hand with a smile. When Gu Mou saw the black spots on his neck and the pale corners of his mouth that were barely laughing after suffering a round of evil spirit attack , The sullenness in my heart disappeared all of a sudden.

Gu Mou thought for a while, and then continued: "Also, I also feel that your food is not appropriate. Now nearly half of the farmland and livestock pens have been destroyed, and there is not much grain in the warehouse. Have you ever noticed that we eat food every day? How many untouched dishes will be left after the meal, and the refugees in the city may not even have a sip of clean water."

"No way. In that case, you will decide how much you eat in the future. I will definitely not choose." Yu Shubai smiled indifferently, hugged his waist, and leaned his tired body against his chest.

In the next few days, not long after Gu Mou’s frugal order was issued, sometimes Yu Shubai was haunted by evil spirits and couldn’t eat anything, but sometimes when his appetite got better, he started to pick and choose, whether the fish was not fresh, or the pig’s trotters were not rotten Gu Mou knew that he had grown up like this for two lifetimes, so in order to take care of his rare good appetite, he "personally" went to the kitchen to prepare these dishes.

When the cooks saw him, they saw him as a savior, and gave him half-cooked dishes, and let him sprinkle a few salts, a few spoonfuls of sauce, or add some strange medicinal materials, no matter what came out in the end. How outrageous the taste is, take it out and say "Gu Gongzi cooks himself", it will definitely make Yushu eat up for nothing.

About three to five days later, the servants grabbed a few familiar faces and sneaked up to Yu Shubai. He knocked carefully, and found that they were some disciples who had walked away without looking back a few days ago.

According to people from the scriptures, these people came back at some time and hid in a place where there are few people in Sitian Pavilion. Valuable items.

Those people were wearing dirty clothes, knelt on the ground and cried, Yu Shubai knew that Qi Shi had sealed off the city.

The imperial palace is sealed off from the outside world, while other immortal sects jointly set up restrictions on the border of Qishi. No one is allowed to enter and leave Qishi, and letters and silver butterflies are not allowed to be sent to the outside world to prevent the epidemic from flowing out.

When hearing the news, Yu Shubai and Gu Mou were stunned for a while, and after a while, Yu Shubai looked at him blankly and said, "I have nothing to complain about, I can't get out, it's just a pity, you Could have gotten out of here."

"It's all right now, I can't go anymore." Gu Moufan smiled, a little relieved.

They ended up being "tied" together anyway.

The room leak happened to be raining overnight, and no one expected that some things would happen so outrageously.

In the next few days, some disciples ran back one after another, some admitted their mistakes and asked to return to the sect, some tried to take advantage of the chaos to steal, no matter what their attitude was, they were all beaten out by Yu Shubai's people. Taking advantage of Yu Shubai's attacking the evil spirit in the middle of the night, a hundred hungry and crazy disciples went up the mountain with swords and axes and hacked to death more than a dozen servants, scaring the others so that they did not dare to leave the house.

Seeing a large number of people coming to Liuyun Mountain, many refugees came up after seeing them. These people were crazier than the disciples. After breaking the lock of the storehouse together, they robbed the food, quilts, soft goods and other items in it for seven days. Seven or eight, those who can move will move away, those who can't move can't wait to ask someone to move together.

Gu Mou is an ordinary person, and Yu Shubai's spiritual power is running out at this time. One night, there were swords, lights and swords outside, and refugees and disciples fought red-eyed to rob property. Blood splashed on the eaves. Gu Mou turned on the switch of the dark room, and the two Only by hiding in the secret passage did he escape unharmed.

The secret road leads to a small mountain stream on the mountainside. Yu Shubai and Gu Mou packed up the simple things. He carried the weak Yu Shubai on his back, turned out of the dark secret passage, walked along the mountain trail for two hours, and finally Came to the city of Qishi.

At this time, Yu Shubai was barely walking on the ground, and when Gu Mou put him down, he almost knelt down on his knees. Yu Shubai hurriedly supported him, and finally found an inn with a "opening" sign.

It seems that the business of the inn is not good. The shopkeeper wears a white cloth towel on his face, and he can't wait to talk eight feet away from others. After check-in, even the key is opened by the two of them.

"Our chef has returned to his hometown. If the two of you are hungry, I can only cook and prepare dinner for you. If the taste is not enough, please forgive me." The shopkeeper said.

"Just prepare a copy." Yu Shubai said weakly.

He is the body of cultivating immortals, bigu is no problem, but Gu Mou is different, three meals a day are indispensable.

Back in the room, Gu Mou began to count the belongings in the parcel. They were all randomly packed from the cabinet before leaving, but most of them were of excellent quality, not to mention gold and silver, but other jade and jewelry had to be cashed in.

"We must exchange these things for silver while the currency is still usable, otherwise, after a while, these rare treasures will become priceless." Gu Mou said.

Yu Shubai worried: "I'll go with you, I'm afraid..."

I'm afraid that he is a person with no cultivation, and if he walks outside with these things on his back, he will inevitably be stared at.

"If I take you out of the house, you will be unable to walk steadily and hang on to me. Who do you think they will be targeting?" Gu Mou smiled, and put Yu Shubai's sword on his shoulder. Wearing it on his body, the familiar movements all tell him that the destruction of his cultivation base does not mean the loss of martial arts.

Yu Shubai stood by the window all the time, looking outside anxiously, until the curfew in the middle of the night, when Gu Mou came back in a hurry, carrying a small wooden box in his hand, and he was wearing colorful clothes.

Gu Mou healed the knife wound on his shoulder, opened the wooden box, and inside was a box full of silver, squeezed one by one.

"I thought I could get a better price, but now that the situation is over, I asked several pawnshops before someone reluctantly released this box of silver to buy those things. The outside is more chaotic than we imagined, and most of the shops are closed. , There are also shop owners and house owners who sell the title deeds, but most of them are uninhabited houses, and the refugees have picked the locks and moved in spontaneously."

Yu Shubai didn't listen to a word: "This is on you..."

"I originally wanted to buy a house in a secluded area, but when I got there, I found a few refugees hiding inside. I saw someone 'break in' with boxes in their hands, so I thought about it, and I suffered a little. Injury, but one arm was broken." Panting, Gu Mou reported the "results" lightly.

Hearing this, Yu Shubai's brows did not twitch, but he pulled his sleeve and said angrily: "What's the use of breaking his arm, and you can't replace the blood that bleeds from your own arm."

"What kind of nonsense is this? After breaking his arm, I feel at ease."

"Pfft, you're the one who makes no sense." Yu Shu smiled with red eyes.

On the second day, the shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said: "Guest officer, I'm really sorry, our store is running out of food and rice, and now the price of rice and meat is several times higher than before. It's really..."

"It's okay, we're going out to do the shopping, and when the time comes, we'll bring the things back and take care of the shopkeeper's meal." Gu Mou said.

The two resigned from the shopkeeper and went to the grain shop, where it was crowded with people, millet grains and even corn husks were carried out in bags, and what they got in their hands was white silver or even gold bars.

Normally, two renminbi of silver can buy a bucket of rice, but now it has increased six times. Hired a few thugs in the store to carry it back to the inn.

After returning to the inn, Gu Mou played hard and soft, and bought the land deed of the inn, and asked the shopkeeper to hire a few strong and healthy thugs to guard the downstairs, not allowing any refugees to approach the kitchen.

The days are finally "settled", the stomach can be full, but it is difficult to sleep at night.

"What to do in the future?"

Hearing the pattering rain outside, hitting the roof like a stone, which will break through one day, Yu Shubai suddenly asked.

He waited for a long time, but no one around him answered. Yu Shubai turned his head to see that Gu Mou was motionless with his back facing him, and he had already fallen asleep.

It's no wonder that Gu Mou didn't take time off all day. He had to go out to investigate the situation and supervise the kitchen chores after he was busy.

In the dark, under the rain curtain, outside the window lattice, the pear tree that has been corroded to the point where there are only dead branches swayed in the wind, and a few acid-eaten leaves hung alone on it. Step on it, or rot in the mud.

Gu Mou slowly opened his eyes, looking at the leaves that were about to fall, he didn't speak for a long time, there was no despair and loss in his eyes, only endless confusion.
