The turquoise hem was lifted up by the man and hung on his arm, the white underwear barely fell to the ankle, one leg was clinging to the man's waist, and one hand quietly reached into the man's clothes to search.

"Hmm... lighten up... ah..."

Jiang Li stood awkwardly at the stairs.

"Brother Gu, can this be done in the room? Although I have accepted this fact, but... my mother is about to get up!"

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, "It's almost over...well."

The man holding him seemed to be dissatisfied with Gu Qing's argument and pushed hard.

Jiang Li turned and left, really ashamed to look.

He put the breakfast he bought on the wooden table in the lobby, with golden fried dough sticks, fried shortbread, and a large bowl of tea.

The fritters are freshly baked, crispy and fragrant.Gu Qing was closing his eyes and took a deep breath with his nose, and there was a rumbling sound in his stomach.

……

"That's it." Gu Qing pushed the man who was still stuck to his body, pulled up his underwear with both hands, and was about to leave.

"Hey? What are you doing?" The man looked puzzled.

"I can't enjoy it, I can't continue acting." Gu Qing looked back at him pitifully.

The man's face turned red immediately, he cursed a few words and left.

Gu Qing sat on the stool and reached out to grab a fried dough stick, but was slapped by Jiang Li.

Gu Qing: "Why? I'm not allowed to eat?"

Jiang Li: "Have you washed your hands?"

Gu Qing pouted, turned around and went to fetch water from the well in the backyard. "Leave some for me, don't eat all of them."

Jiang Li glanced at him and smiled softly.

"Why are you up so early?" Mother Jiang came down from upstairs and sat next to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li didn't have the nerve to say that he didn't fall asleep all night, for fear that Jiang's mother would be worried.

"I want to eat these, so I queued up early in the morning." Jiang Li said while pouring a bowl of tea for Mother Jiang.

"Mother thought about it yesterday. You can't stick to the rules as a human being. Now we are in a situation where we have to survive. We can no longer be arrogant..."

Jiang Li turned his head to look at Jiang Mu, but Jiang Mu's eyes were fixed on the bowl of tea and not on him.

He knew that it must be a great determination for Niang to say that.

Parents always hope that their children can study hard, and once they rank first in the imperial examination, they will honor their ancestors.

He reached out and handed Mother Jiang a piece of shortbread, and said comfortingly, "The son promised mother that it would not rot."

Gu Qing hurried over from the backyard, said hello auntie, and sat opposite Jiang Li and started eating deep-fried dough sticks.

"It's been a long time since I had breakfast." While chewing, he took another one in his hand.

"Oh, baby, eat slowly, eat slowly." Mother Jiang took out a handkerchief to Gu Qing, "The oil is all over my face."

Gu Qing wiped his mouth with his hand, raised his head and smiled at Mother Jiang, "It's okay, don't dirty your handkerchief."

Jiang Li took out another black square bowl and poured water for Gu Qing, he frowned slightly as he looked at the big tree reflected by the tea.

Mother Jiang went upstairs to her room after eating.

Gu Qing turned to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Li.

Jiang Li: "What are you doing?"

Gu Qing: "Buy wine."

Jiang Li: "That person didn't give you money just now..."

Gu Qing pursed his lips, "He didn't give it to me but I took it myself." He took out a few more pennies from his sleeve as he spoke.

Jiang Li: "Then... isn't that stealing?"

Gu Qing: "Yeah, what's the matter?" Gu Qing raised his eyebrows.

Jiang Li blushed with anxiety, and shouted, "Why did you steal it?"

Gu Qing: "I used to steal too, but... it was stealing people." He grinned and went out to buy wine.

Jiang Li took the square bowl and went to the backyard to fetch water to wash. He leaned on the edge of the well with both hands. He looked at the canopy of the tree reflected in the water. He raised his head and looked at him for a long time.

Jiang Li had been sitting on the roof since the morning, went down after eating, and came up again after eating.Jiang's mother was afraid that something would happen to Jiang Li, so she asked Gu Qing to look for him.

Gu Qing: "See what the doorway is?"

Jiang Li looked at Huajie: "The third family in Luxi is the most."

Gu Qing raised his eyes and glanced: "Normal, Yihong Courtyard, the oldest seniority."

Jiang Li continued: "But the first house on the east side of the road is either rich or expensive."

Gu Qing didn't even look at it this time, and said, "□□, the bustard on the stage is not well-known, but I heard that the person behind the scenes is the son of the Hou family of Jingnan."

Jiang Li: "Master Hou's?"

Gu Qing: "Jingnanhou's generation is withered and has no military achievements, but if we want to maintain such a large Jingnanhou's mansion..."

Jiang Li was deeply impressed by the huge expenses in the mansion, which could actually support the entire Jingnanhou Mansion.

Jiang Li: "It's a pity we don't have anyone."

Gu Qing looked at Jiang Li and stopped talking.

Jiang Li: "Can Big Brother Gu come with me? I really don't know much about the operation of the South Hall."

Gu Qing took the jug from the treetop, took it to his ear and shook it. "I'm still worried about where I will go if you abandon me."

With that said, Gu Qing handed the jug to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li didn't hold back anymore, he took the jug and looked up, pouring his arms full.

"Oh, I wasted my good wine." Gu Qingyan quickly snatched the jug from Jiang Li's hand.

"I didn't expect it to start to flow in the middle." Jiang Li smiled awkwardly, and took out the square scarf from his waist.

Gu Qing: "Tomorrow, I'll go around every house and pry some young men for my uncle to order."

Jiang Li: "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Gu Qing sighed.

Jiang Li helped the trunk to stand up, shaking the dirt off his body. "Let me come, Xiaowan, how much difference do you think?"

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, but continued: "Don't have too many at the beginning, we can't afford this group of Bodhisattvas. I think it's just three young men."

Jiang Li turned around and looked at Gu Qing: "Do you only want the young lady?"

"Well, the south hall has to have business in the south hall, doesn't it?" Gu Qing raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

"Well, that's fine." Jiang Li touched the wooden rabbit pendant on his waist.

Gu Qing yawned and entered the kitchen, "Huh? What are you doing in the kitchen?"

Jiang Li turned around and walked in front of Gu Qing, wiped his dirty hands on Gu Qing's sleeve, "Breakfast is on the table in the lobby." He said and left with a wooden box.

The South Pavilion was at the southern end of the alley, and he walked north along the alley for a long time before he saw a pawn shop.

Jiang Li held the wooden box tightly in his hand, hesitated again and again, but pawned it.

He stared at the one tael of silver handed over by the shopkeeper, speechless.

It was getting late in the day, and Jiang Li had already left the city. At the beginning, there were only a few officers and soldiers, refugees, etc. outside the city, and gradually there was only a desert.

After walking for almost a day, Jiang Li felt extremely thirsty, but there were no more shops here.

"Hold on a little longer, and we'll be there soon."

At this moment, he saw a hut by the side of the road, and Jiang Li glanced to both sides, seeing the deserted fields.With his right hand tightly clutching the wooden rabbit pendant at his waist, he walked up.

It is said that the hut can only accommodate two people standing, so there is a row of benches around the outside of the hut, and the walls on all sides of the hut are only half the height of a person. "What would the guest officer want?" There was a woman standing in the room, her hair wrapped in a dark blue veil.

"A bowl of tea, please." Jiang Li sat on the bench.

"Guest officer has been away for a long time, where are you going?" The woman handed Jiang Li a bowl of tea.

Jiang Li raised his head and finished drinking in one gulp, ignored the woman, just pushed the tea bowl to the woman again.

The woman looked at the tea bowl and smiled, then poured another bowl for Jiang Li.

Jiang Li drank much slower this time, his mouth was no longer as thirsty as before. "Go and visit the patron saint of this place."

The woman froze in place, frowning and examining Jiang Li.

Jiang Li stood up and looked at the woman, "If I'm not mistaken, you are the gatekeeper. Then the gate to the guardian ground is this hut."

Speaking of which, the woman has revealed her original form, the head cloth gradually becomes transparent, two fox ears are exposed, and a white tail is coiled around her waist. "Who are you?" she asked warily.

Before Jiang Li could reply, the rabbit pendant around his waist suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, and Jiang Li hurriedly turned sideways and covered his eyes with his arms.When the glare disappeared, there was a group of peerlessly beautiful men and women in front of them.

Jiang Li smiled.

"I am the patron saint of Sansuke, I wonder why you came to see me?"

A deep voice came from behind, and Jiang Li looked back.

There were two snow-white foxes around the man's body, and a total of six fox eyes stared at his back numbly.

"The villain is the bustard of the south hall, and his business is slow, so I came here to borrow three..."

"What are you borrowing!" The man shouted angrily.

Jiang Li didn't dare to say the word "Xiaoguan" anymore.

He cleared his throat, and said in a calm manner: "The emperor believes in Buddhism and built temples in the capital. The number of monks in the capital has increased by ten times. It is very difficult for you to practice now."

The man did not speak.

"I respect you as patron saints because I know that this place was your territory before someone came to live here, but monsters are monsters, so the monk won't care so much about you."

"Not only are you forced to hide in this barren place, but now it's even difficult to survive and practice. I know that your cultivation needs to absorb the essence of men, and I just provide you with such a place."

After a pause, the man said, "It's just that as soon as we go out, the monk will find us by following the smell."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up.

"So you came here for nothing." The man continued.

Jiang Li took out a wooden box from his sleeve, opened the wooden box and saw that there was no jewelry in it, only four white pills. "This pill can eliminate the smell on your body. I will guarantee that the three people I borrowed will not be discovered by the monk."

As soon as these words came out, the men and women began to get restless.

Jiang Li took out a pill from it and handed it to the man, "This is for you, you can try the effect first."

The man took the pill without taking it, stared at Jiang Li for a while, and then a guard came up and grabbed Jiang Li.

"Better not to play tricks." The man swallowed the pill.

The fox ears and the nine tails behind him all disappeared, and suddenly a handsome and lovely man appeared.The two foxes around him said that there was no smell.

"Really?" It was the same thick and rough voice.
