He placed his thumb under the little guy's chin and asked him to look in the direction of the imperial city.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was cold: "Go to the palace and ask your good grandmother."

Gu Fei looks like her mother.

Gu Ji looks like his father. When the two of them stand together, apart from some similarities in their eyebrows and eyes, you can't tell that they are brothers.

There was no warmth in his tone.

Gu Lin looked at the palace with his beautiful eyes, his heart filled with confusion and hatred.

If it weren't for the order from the Empress Dowager, his father would not have died.

Gusts of autumn wind blew on the uncle and nephew, making them feel extremely lonely and cold.

At the same time, Li Xiaoyu followed Li Fugui to his master's hometown, Xialijia Village.

If you want to stay in Xialijia Village, you must first go to the government office to get a certificate.

They took their documents to Lijia Village, where the village chief told them that a group of exiles were coming and that their village had no houses for the time being.

There was not enough land for them to build houses, so they were asked to go to the yamen.

See if you can get to other villages.

Li Fugui was quite open-minded. He thought that since his master's ancestral home was in the northwest, it would be okay for him to live in another village.

So he went to the yamen again.

This time, the government assigned them to Shanglijia Village.

Li Xiaoyu looked at the solitary house in front of him, which couldn't be any simpler, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

I couldn't help but complain: "What kind of village names are these? Shanglijia Village, Xialijia Village, Yihe County, Erhe County, Sanhe County..."

The person who came up with this name was too perfunctory.

Seeing his friend's speechless expression, Li Fugui scratched his forehead and was somewhat speechless himself.

"I didn't expect that the county where Master's hometown was named was changed to Erhe County. This county name is even more perfunctory than our Dawan County."

Li Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders.

"That's right. We have to slowly build this thatched house for living alone."

The house allocated to them by the village chief was at the end of the village. It was a thatched house that had not been lived in for a long time and was almost like a straw hut.

The only good thing is that there is a pond outside the hut.

You can fence off the area and dig a well so you don’t have to go to the well in the village to fetch water.

Li Xiaoyu had suffered a lot carrying water in Shu.

She would rather pay someone to dig a well than walk a long way to fetch water.

Lao Lu accompanied them and watched them settle down.

He was also going to take his leave temporarily. He bowed and said goodbye to them, "Miss Li, Mr. Li, I have escorted you to your destination safely. I will take my leave now."

Li Xiaoyu and Li Fugui moved their things into the room, and when they came out they heard what Lao Lu said.

The two of them also bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Brother Lu, for taking care of us along the way."

Li Xiaoyu: "Brother Lu, see you later."

Hearing the little princess' words, Old Lu looked at her deeply and said, "Goodbye."

Send Old Lu away.

The two returned to the straw hut. Li Fugui was a pragmatic man. He hurried to clean up the room so that Xiaoyu could sleep peacefully tonight.

Li Xiaoyu was standing in a yard with almost no grass.

She stood there for about a quarter of an hour, hands on her hips and frowning as she looked around the yard.

Li Fugui came out to throw away the garbage and saw that she looked thoughtful.

The clear voice was full of doubt: "Xiao Yu, what are you looking at?"

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyu collected his thoughts and told him his plan: "I plan to find someone to repair the yard starting tomorrow."

She pointed to the left, "Build a room over there for the bathtub."

Then he pointed to the middle row and said, "Build a room as a storage room. The middle is the main room. On the right side of the main room, open a door to connect to the bedroom. Next to the bedroom, build a living room. On the far right is the kitchen and toilet."

The specifications are similar to those of the Gu family in Shu.

Li Fugui also heard it, and he had no objection. As long as Xiaoyu was happy, that was all that mattered.

To be honest, Xiaoyu is willing to accompany him to the North.

He was already quite grateful in his heart.

However, he frowned and said hesitantly: "Xiaoyu, if we live together, I'm afraid others will misunderstand our relationship. Why don't I find a place to live separately?"

While he was speaking, Li Xiaoyu rolled his eyes at him.

That expression was quite speechless.

"Your last name is Li, and mine is Li too. Our ancestors were brothers, so we are brother and sister."

"What's the problem with a brother and sister living together?"

When you are out, friends should take care of each other, unity is strength.

Hearing her say this, Li Fugui scratched the back of his head and laughed, "Yes, why didn't I think of that."

I took the trash from his hand and patted his shoulder with my other hand.

"Don't overthink it."

Seeing Xiaoyu walk outside to throw away the dirty things, Li Fugui showed an embarrassed expression.

It wasn't like he wanted to think about it.

The main reason was that his grandmother always reminded him that Xiaoyu was married and he couldn’t get too close to her, as it would destroy the relationship between them.

But Xiaoyu is gone now, and their ancestors were still relatives.

Besides being good friends, they are also siblings.

Then there is no problem.

Once he figured it out, Li Fugui suddenly became enlightened.

The two of them worked together to clean up the only room where they could sleep, and in the evening they ate some steamed buns they bought in the city.

At night, Li Fugui slept on the broken table and Li Xiaoyu slept on the bed.

The difference in day and night and temperature between the Northwest and Shu is too great.

The air is too dry.

The two tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

In the quiet night, the noise made by people sleeping on the hay was obvious.

Li Fugui heard the constant tossing and turning in the room, and he called out softly, "Xiaoyu, can't you sleep either?"

Hearing the noise outside, Li Xiaoyu wrapped himself in a quilt and simply sat up.

She rubbed her dry nose and replied in a hoarse voice: "Fugui, you can't sleep either."

"Hmm," Li Fugui felt his nose was so dry that he was about to bleed.

"Me too, my throat feels dry."

Li Xiaoyu sighed. She had finished drinking all the water in the water bag, but she didn't feel her throat was moistened at all.

We are good friends indeed, and we have similar feelings.

Li Fugui also sighed: "Xiaoyu, it's so dry, how can they survive here?"

Li Xiaoyu pursed his lips and thought for a while.

He replied seriously: "They have lived here for generations, so they have gradually adapted to it."

Just like the people in Shu.

The two chatted about nothing until dawn, when they fell into a drowsy sleep.

same night.

A group of strangers also came to Lijia Village.

However, they did not live at the end of the village, but were scattered throughout the village.

There is only one family at the end of the village.

The two people at the end of the village slept until the afternoon and woke up. After barely eating something, they went to the village to find the village chief.

The village chief was a fat middle-aged man. He listened to their purpose.

I am very happy to arrange it for them.

Just when they were talking about repairing the house, Li Fugui seemed to have thought of something. He asked the village chief to wait while he discussed it with Xiaoyu.

Being pulled outside by him, Li Xiaoyu had a puzzled look on his face.

"Fugui, haven't we already agreed on this? Is there any problem?"

"Xiao Yu, you are going to return to Shu in the future. There is no need to build a tiled house. A thatched roof on top will do."
