Chapter 43: Peace Under the Night

The beggar brother quickly brought his younger brother into the house and began to clean up the room, making sure everyone had a place to rest. Gu Yichen, Lu Ling'er, and Mo Xian divided the work in the small courtyard and worked together to gradually make this abandoned courtyard warm and cozy.

Lu Ling'er searched the kitchen and backyard for something edible. She found a well next to the kitchen, firewood neatly stacked beside it. She immediately set to work, fetching water to wash the pot and heating water for her evening bath. In the kitchen, she found some simple seasonings, along with wood ear mushrooms, dried lotus root, mixed beans, and some dried small fish. Although the ingredients were few, she decided to use them to make a pot of wood ear mushroom, lotus root, and mung bean soup, preparing a simple but heartwarming dinner for everyone.

Mo Xian was in charge of checking the surroundings for safety. He patrolled carefully, confirming there were no suspicious movements before returning to the courtyard. He shared his findings with Gu Yichen, ensuring that this temporary hiding place was safe.

Seeing everything ready, Gu Yichen decided to take Mo Xian to the creek in the back mountains to catch some fish and crabs to supplement their food supply. They set out quickly, and after a while of searching, they finally caught some fresh fish and crabs in the creek. With these fresh ingredients, they returned to the courtyard, adding a rich flavor to everyone's dinner.

As the night deepened, the courtyard gradually quieted down amidst the bustle of preparations. Lu Ling'er toiled intently in the kitchen, the aroma gradually filling the air. Mo Xian continued patrolling the yard, ensuring there were no hidden dangers. Moonlight streamed across the courtyard, creating a tranquil atmosphere. Gu Yichen, meanwhile, sorted the ingredients in the yard, making final preparations for dinner.

As dinner preparations neared completion, Gu Yichen returned to the kitchen with Mo Xian. Lu Ling'er had already prepared the fragrant wood ear, lotus root, and mung bean soup. She had also prepared the fresh fish and crab, preparing them for a delicious meal.

Dinner was finally ready. Lu Ling'er served a piping hot soup, while Gu Yichen placed fresh fish and crabs on the table. Lu Ling'er, Gu Yichen, and Mo Xian sat down to enjoy their meal, while the two young beggars stood aside, afraid to come forward. They knew they were being sold into slavery and couldn't join in the meal. Lu Ling'er glanced at them and said firmly, "Come and eat. Afterward, take a shower and start working hard tomorrow." Her eyes were filled with undeniable determination.

The beggar brother and brother showed gratitude and slowly walked to the table and sat down. The beggar brother asked cautiously, "Sir, this meal... can we really eat it? We have hardly eaten anything these days."

Gu Yichen smiled and replied softly: "Of course, everyone needs to eat a full meal tonight. You also need to get a good rest so that you can have the energy to work tomorrow."

The little beggar raised his head gratefully and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, sir, thank you, girl. Brother is right, we are really hungry..."

Lu Linger looked at them gently and handed them a bowl of hot soup: "This soup is simple, but I hope you like it. Remember to take a shower and get some rest after eating."

During dinner, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Gu Yichen took a sip of the soup and said with satisfaction, "This soup tastes good. Although there are not many ingredients, the flavor is very rich."

Mo Xian nodded and said as he ate, "We need to adapt to this new environment as quickly as possible, and I hope these two little beggars can help us. Tonight's dinner is a good start."

The little beggar brother lowered his head, a glint of gratitude flashing in his eyes: "We will do our best to help you and the girl, and live up to your kindness."

After dinner, Lu Linger prepared water for the two little beggars to take a bath and told them to have a good rest. She also arranged the work plan for tomorrow to ensure that everyone could integrate into their new life as soon as possible.

As night fell, everything in the courtyard gradually returned to calm. Gu Yichen, Lu Ling'er, and Mo Xian sat together, discussing future plans and how to ensure their safety. Although they knew they would face many challenges in the future, in this moment, they were able to enjoy this rare tranquility.

As night fell, Gu Yichen and his companions found temporary peace in this deserted courtyard. However, they knew that this was only a temporary peace. The enemy's conspiracy still lurked in the shadows, posing new challenges at any time.
