Legend of the Gu Demon

The dew weighed down the bamboo leaves until they bowed their heads, and the mist covered the white fish belly on the horizon.

Ningchen leaned against the tree, his dark eyes quietly looking at yesterday's field. It was now full of people.

Bury the seeds into the soil, cover them with soil, and finally smooth the bumps with your hands. The whole set of actions is done in one go, which is extremely skillful!

Looking from a distance, Ningchen could not help but feel a satisfied smile on his lips.

"Sure enough, every job has to be done by the same person. Farmers are very efficient in farm work, and I just took this opportunity to visit the village!"

He took a sip of wine to moisten his lips and throat, turned around and left, disappearing among the dense branches and leaves.

Back in the village, it was still morning, and Ningchen was leaning on the side of the street quite comfortably.

His dark eyes looked around the crowd, searching for that beautiful figure in pink clothes.

"This street is crowded with people and traffic, and there are many Gu masters among them. If you are looking for Hao Yu, this is the best place!"

Suddenly, a touch of pollen clothes broke into Ningchen's peripheral vision, and a few deep smiles appeared in his eyes, above the black pupils.

"Finally found you, Haoyu!"

Haoyu had just walked out of his house at this time and walked straight to the street.

"Haoyu, good morning."

"Good morning!"

Facing the greetings from his teammates, Haoyu responded with a chuckle.

"Good morning!"

"Good morning everyone, I just received a mission to clear out the wolves in the northern part of the village. What do you think?"

The second-level Gu Master led by Haoyu came over and talked leisurely. Others, including Haoyu, naturally had no objections.

"Then let's go, shall we?"

"Um."

"good."

"Let's go!"

In a moment, the figures of those people disappeared into the crowd and disappeared from Ningchen's gaze.

"Well, according to what I just saw, Haoyu's home is mostly here."

Ningchen walked leisurely and stood quietly in front of one of the bamboo buildings.

In his eyes, a faint light flickered. He tried to push the door in but couldn't push it. It was obvious that Hao Yu had locked it.

Ningchen was not surprised when he saw this. Instead, he walked around to the back of the house. Seeing that no one was around, he jumped lightly and grabbed the window on the second floor.

He climbed through the window and stood on the bamboo floor with his feet, making a crisp sound.

And Ningchen had already confirmed before coming in that there was no one in Haoyu's home, so there was no need to worry about being discovered.

Ningchen walked slowly, pushed open one of the doors and walked inside,

The furnishings are quite elegant, a little quiet, and very refreshing. Looking through the window, I feel very at ease, and I can also see the dusty bamboo building.

"It seems that this is Haoyu's room, but Haoyu doesn't have any relatives. He may be an orphan like me."

"So, I can understand her attitude towards me a little bit."

Ningchen looked around, with a clear mind, but his hands kept moving, exploring the tables and cabinets in the room.

In an instant, a square leather notebook appeared in the bottom drawer of the desk.

When Ningchen saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart. He turned over a page, held it in his hand, and turned it with his fingertips.

A dry touch, carrying a sense of vicissitudes of years, flowed into Ningchen's heart.

"I went to find other people to play with today, but they didn't seem to want to play with me. I don't know why. Maybe it would be nice to get acquainted with them!"

"They still seem to dislike me, even though I brought them some snacks..."

The handwriting is very old and has turned slightly yellow, obviously it has been there for a long time, and there is a kind of childishness and innocence between the lines.

"Oh~ This is probably Haoyu's diary. These sentences should be from her childhood."

Ningchen suddenly felt a little clear in his heart and looked down again.

"They said I was an orphan. I was so sad. Am I really an orphan? I have never seen my parents since I was a child."

"Today they seem to be saying that another pair of brothers are orphans. The younger brother seems to be very sad too, but the older brother doesn't seem to care at all. Why is that?"

Although there are some traces of tears on the paper, Haoyu must have been extremely sad at that time and shed tears.

The black pupils were flickering on and off, with a bit of doubt, and they were secretly speculating in their hearts.

"This pair of brothers... based on their age and address, they should be me and Ningchuan."

"Is it possible that Haoyu has been somewhat interested in me since then?"

Turning over a page, the handwriting seemed to have grown up with Haoyu, stretched out a lot, and was no longer so childish.

"I inquired about it and found out that the two brothers were also orphans. The older brother was called Ningchen and the younger brother was named Ningchuan. Why do the older brother and the younger brother look very similar, but they give me completely different feelings?"

"My younger brother is very ordinary, but why is my elder brother so different? It really makes me curious!"

Ningchen smiled, silently. The mystery that had puzzled him for a long time was finally solved.

Although it is just a few words and no detailed records, the whole picture can be inferred.

"So, I generally understand."

"Haoyu's parents died when he was young, so he lacked the concept of love in his heart, and when he was treated coldly by his peers, he happened to meet me, a devil like me!"

"The magic in me attracted her, and she also developed a strong interest in me. As the years passed, it gradually evolved into love, and she even gradually became dependent on me."

"This love is very complicated, like family affection, friendship and love, and the reason for all this is that she lacks the concept of love in her heart."

"That's it, that's it!"

Ningchen chuckled. He understood everything. He finally understood everything.

He put the diary back into the drawer and covered up all the traces of his search, creating a situation where nothing happened.

After all, Ningchen still didn't want that lunatic Haoyu to know that he had been to her house. God knows what Haoyu would do after he found out that he had been there.

The dust is walking leisurely on the streets. At noon in late autumn, even if the sun is high in the sky, it is difficult to feel any warmth.

"It's noon, let's go get lunch first and then go back to the village!"

Thinking so, he walked straight into the wine shop, randomly picked an empty table, and the waiter walked up to him.

"Sir, what would you like to eat?"

"I want some dishes, both meat and vegetables, and two jars of green bamboo wine, thank you."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment, the food will be ready later!"

The waiter left in a hurry and walked into the kitchen. After a while, he walked out again to greet the next table of guests.

Ningchen sat quietly at the table and looked around, but saw a figure he didn't want to see.

At this moment, Haoyu has finished her mission and sat at the dining table next to Ningchen.

Haoyu looked at Ningchen with some surprise, her beautiful eyes flashing,

"Lord Ningchen, I didn't expect to see you here!"

"It's great to see Lord Ningchen just after completing the mission and returning to the village!"
