The pavilion was quite large, and Li Mofu looked around and found it very clean. If it were to be hung with gauze curtains, a platform built, and a woman playing the zither, it would be absolutely stunning.

Looking from the pavilion to the other side of the pond, there is exactly that open space. The pomegranate trees on both sides are still green, and a few green branches flutter in the wind.

"This is a good place to sleep." Li Mofu raised his hands and tilted his head back, making a gesture as if he wanted to lie down.

It was also at this time that he saw a mark on the wooden beam of the pavilion, a faint, long mark.

Li Mofu thought of something and grinned, "Could there be a dead snake hanging there before?"

"Where?" Guozi looked over in confusion.

"Look, that lighter mark." Li Mofu pointed to him.

Guozi frowned and shook his head, "It must have been from the previous tenants. It wasn't there when we were cleaning."

Li Mofu dislikes creatures with no hands, many hands, no hair, and smooth bodies. There's nothing he can do about it because he was bitten by a rat snake in his hometown when he was a child.

Although the rat snake was non-venomous, it was large and sturdy, and its bite was incredibly painful. The neighbor who discovered him crying said that large rat snakes don't want to bite you to death, they want to eat you.

"Tsk tsk, this is a bit disgusting. Is there a snake in my room?" Li Mofu began to become suspicious.

Guozi then said, "Then I'll go get some realgar to fumigate it. Young Master, go to the study and read for a while."

So Li Mofu went to the study to kill time.

The buildings in the courtyard are now divided like this: the first floor is the hall and restaurant, as well as Li Mofu's bedroom and study, etc. The second floor is all Lu Mingyun's territory, with his room and study upstairs.

As for the third floor, it is all terrace, giving the feeling of a rooftop, but there is a high eaves on one side, so half of the terrace can be sheltered from the rain.

Now, many quilts and clothes are drying on the terrace while the weather is good, as well as some of Lu Mingyun's books. Nanny Liang is watching over them, turning them over from time to time.

After lunch, Li Mofu took a walk around the yard while Guozi was busy, and then when he saw that there was no one around, he wanted to climb over the wall to leave.

"Master Li."

The sudden sound frightened Li Mofu so much that his hands gave out and he fell to the ground with a plop. Li Mofu immediately stood up and patted his butt. Turning around, he saw Mo Yi standing on the second floor looking at him.

"..." Li Mofu rolled his eyes and slipped away. He didn't expect that this guy was there too. He thought Lu Mingyun had taken him away.

Mo Yi pursed his lips helplessly, then put the things in his hands into his arms, and then quickly went downstairs and left. He came back to get something, and the young master was still waiting for him.

Because he was bored, Li Mofu wandered around for a while and then ran back to his bedroom to sleep. The room fumigated with realgar smelled a bit strange, but it was acceptable.

Li Mofu wrapped himself tightly and slept until the sun was about to set. When Lu Mingyun came in, he was still sleeping, and he was sleeping with his head covered.

"Li Mofu?" Lu Mingyun reached into Li Mofu's quilt and called out.

He only felt his hand touching Li Mofu's warm skin. At first he thought it was Li Mofu's face, until he touched Li Mofu's hair and realized it was his neck.

"Get up, Li Mofu." Lu Mingyun used his other hand to pull Li Mofu's quilt to expose his head, but Li Mofu pressed him down too tightly, and Lu Mingyun didn't dare to use force for a while, for fear of making him angry.

The hand that touched Li Mofu's skin squeezed it, and the man shrank but still didn't wake up, so Lu Mingyun changed his hand to freeze him.

Li Mofu woke up with a start. He turned over and said, "What are you doing? I'm so annoyed..."

"Why did you sleep so long? Get up and have dinner." Lu Mingyun pulled his hand away.

Li Mofu sighed, feeling unmotivated. "We'll go in a bit. You eat first."

"Are you feeling unwell?" Lu Mingyun asked.

Li Mofu shook his head. "It's too boring. I want to go out."

"...Rest for two days first, then get up and have dinner." Lu Mingyun said.

Li Mofu sat up with a "oh", put on his coat and followed Lu Mingyun to the hall, where he saw the medicinal food.
