Bie Ye rubbed Gu Rao's head, and comforted, "Didn't I come back safe and sound? Don't worry, let's eat first."

When mentioning eating, Gu Rao immediately showed a smile on his face.

"Finally we're back at our own residence, and there's no one else staring at us. We can eat whatever we want. I've made you a lot of your favorite food."

Bieye followed her words and continued the conversation.

"Anything?"

"Now the weather is hot, I made hot and sour potato shreds and cold salad three shreds appetizers, I also made a dish of drunken shrimp, a dish of your favorite tomato scrambled eggs, a dish of stir-fried peppers with chives, and a dish of fried peppers with fragrant dried peppers. An old hen made old hen soup."

"Just listening to it makes me hungry."

"Then you should eat more, it's been a long time since you've eaten like this."

"Ah."

……

For this meal, both Gu Rao and Bie Ye whetted their appetites and ate a lot, with six dishes and one soup, there was nothing left for the two of them.

Of course, Bieye ate most of it by himself.

He has always had a big appetite. Some time ago, in order to share some food for everyone, he has restrained a lot. Even though Gu Rao always secretly saves food for him, he is still full from every meal. Now he is finally able to eat. Eat as much as you want, of course he will not wrong his stomach.

There are also milk tea and desserts after the meal.

The sun was so hot at noon that they felt burned by the fire after staying outside for a while. They only took a walk in the shade of the trees in the yard for a while, and then returned to the bedroom to prepare for an afternoon nap.

It's been a long time since I took such a leisurely nap, Gu Rao couldn't fall asleep for a while.

There is an ice basin in the house.

Bie Ye still held the cattail fan, fanning himself and Gu Rao habitually.

This is a habit he has developed during this time. In the afternoon, besides fanning the wind, cattail fans can also be used to repel mosquitoes.

In winter, Gu Rao likes to hug Bieye to sleep, because he is like a stove no matter whether it is winter or summer, and it is very warm to hug in winter.

But in summer...

When you get a little closer, you feel like you are being roasted by him.

She thought about it several times, or she should sleep separately and sleep together when the weather was cooler, but she couldn't bear to leave him for too long.

I couldn't bear to drive him out of bed.

Bieye was very self-aware, knowing that in summer, his wife didn't like to be next to him, so he didn't hug her to sleep, and slept next to the bed by himself.

Today he still keeps his distance from his wife.

But Gu Rao rolled around, and finally lay on his chest, rubbing her cheek against his heart, and finally found a comfortable position to sleep.

"There is an ice basin in the house, why are you so far away from me?"

Don't know what to do.

"Can I hold you to sleep?"

Gu Rao nodded.

"can."

Maybe it's been a long time since he slept in a place where he feels safe. Gu Rao, who was still a little sleepless at first, was lying on Bie Ye's heart, listening to his heartbeat and breathing. fell asleep.

When she woke up again, she was woken up by heat.

The ice basin in the house had melted long ago.

Gu Rao, "..."

Raising his hand to touch his face, sure enough, the half of his face that was pressed against his heart was already wet with his sweat.

Bie Ye was soundly asleep, and was woken up by his wife's slap.

"what happened?"

His eyes were still a little dazed.

Gu Rao sat up, wiped her face, and said aggrievedly, "You're so hot, you've sweated so much, it's made me dirty!"

Bieye's consciousness gradually became clear, and when he saw his wife's embarrassment and dislike for him, he let out a muffled laugh.

Gu Rao glared at him.

"You can still laugh?"

Bie Ye turned over and got out of bed, quickly came in with a basin of ice, went out again, and brought in a basin of water to the bedside.

"I'll wipe it for you."

Gu Rao obediently raised her head and pointed to her own face.

"Wipe your face first."
-
In the evening, after learning the lesson from noon, Bie Ye didn't hold Gu Rao to sleep again, but she obviously forgot about the noon incident, and fell asleep and rolled into his arms again.

Bie Ye was reluctant to push it away, but he also didn't want her to be woken up by the heat in the middle of the night, so he had to stay awake, and in the middle of the night, he got up to change the ice basin.
-
Although the weather was hot, Gu Rao and Bie Ye had a leisurely time during this time.

After more than a month, the heavy and depressing atmosphere in Toyosu City finally disappeared, and the people rekindled their hope for life.

What happened a few months ago seemed like a nightmare to them. Only those who lost their loved ones will never forget what Fengzhou City experienced not long ago.

Everything seems to be on track.

Gu Rao was a little uneasy at first, but after more than a month of comfortable life, she gradually dispelled that little worry in her heart.

The original plan to move out of Toyosu did not go away.

Because she knows that there is no place in Yu country that is absolutely safe. Compared with unknown dangers, at least Fengzhou is safe now.

She just cares about money now.

Gu Rao slept too much during the day, and couldn't sleep at night, so she simply took out the account book to settle the accounts again, not knowing that she didn't know, she was startled.

"The price of grain is too high now. A month ago, grain was still 280 Wen a dou, but now it has risen to [-] Wen a dou!"

"Does this still allow ordinary people to live?"

"The price of meat is too high. Pork costs sixty yuan a catty!"

"This month, we spent nearly 70 taels of silver just on food!"

She thought that she didn't buy anything, except food and vegetables, and occasionally some meat, it seemed that there was nothing to buy.

In this way, you can get 70 taels of silver?
According to the speed of price increase and the speed of spending money, 1000 taels of silver may not be enough to survive in Fengzhou for half a year.

She suddenly felt that she was at a loss.

At the beginning, so much food was hoarded and distributed to the people of Fengzhou, but the prefect only compensated 1000 taels of silver.

However, according to the current price of grain, 1000 taels of silver can't buy half of the grain they distributed!

Bie Ye comforted, "Let's save some money."

Compared with most ordinary people, they already seem very lucky. At least, they can still afford food and their lives can be guaranteed.

Gu Rao also lifted his spirits.

"Fortunately, we can still do some business. Although we can't make a lot of money, we can still earn some money to buy food. Otherwise, we really can't live through this day."

Bie Ye smiled, and was about to say something, but suddenly his expression froze.

Gu Rao opened her mouth, wanting to ask what's wrong, but Bie Ye covered her mouth with one hand covering her lips, signaling her not to make a sound yet.

Before Gu Rao could react, she had already been stuffed into the closet by Bie Ye.

At this moment, the door and window were broken open.

A group of people dressed in black and holding sharp knives filed in.

If it wasn't for Bie Ye's quick reaction, kicking a chair over to block the person who came in with a knife, he might have become a dead soul under the knife.

It all happened very suddenly.

At the same time, there were several screams from outside the yard, which were the voices of the servants in the family.
