There was a mint-like aroma lingering in the room. This aroma had a calming effect. In addition, Gu Xijiu had been busy for the whole day. She was really tired, so she fell asleep just like that.
When she woke up, the moment she opened her eyes, her whole body stiffened!
She found that the surrounding environment had changed drastically.
The once bare stone wall was now covered with a layer of gauze. Her stone bed was gone as well. Instead, it was replaced by a quaint and elegant king-sized bed. The light white bed curtains hung low, blocking the view inside.
The floor was covered with a soft white carpet. It was soft and comfortable for Gu Xijiu to step on it with her bare feet.
There was a table, a bench, a screen, and a table in the room. On the table, there was a bonsai made of stone.
She looked around the house and realized that she was the only one in the house. Di Fuyi was nowhere to be found.
Was he the one who arranged this place?
This person really had the power to turn something rotten into something magical. He was capable, skilled, handsome, and had a pair of skillful hands. Was he really her fiancé?
Gu Xijiu suddenly had a sense of uncertainty.
She lifted the quilt and got off the soft bed. She went downstairs and saw the old patriarch sitting there in a daze.
"Patriarch, where is he?"
When Gu Xijiu was in front of others, she would call him father. However, when they were alone, she still addressed him as the patriarch.
The old patriarch seemed to have just woken up from his daze. He paused for a moment and said, "Stone … Uh, no, Miss Xijiu, Mr. Di asked you to go to the Sorrowful Lake after you woke up."
…
The Sorrowful Lake was the only source of water in the village. It was running water that could flow all the way to the outside world.
The lake was not big. It was the size of a small pond. The left side of the lake was high and the right side was low. The higher part was the place for people to drink while the lower part was the place for people to bathe.
There were more than a hundred people living in the village, so there were rules for bathing.
The women would bathe at around 5 pm, and the men would bathe at around 5 pm. At around 7 pm, it was the time for the patriarch and 'Stone' to bathe.
Gu Xijiu looked at the hourglass before she came out. It was the time for the men to bathe.
What was he going to do there at this time? Was he going to bathe with those people?
The image of Di Fuyi bathing with other men flashed in her mind.
She shuddered, feeling that this scene was too strange and unimaginable.
She rushed over and was surprised to find that the lake was quiet. Not a single person could be seen. The lake was not filled with bronze dumplings as she had imagined.
Why didn't they take a bath today? Slacking off again?
When Gu Xijiu first came here, the people here did not have the habit of bathing often. Bathing once every 10 days or half a month was considered a very clean person.
The weather here was hot, so there was always an unpleasant smell of sweat in the village.
The first thing Gu Xijiu did after she established herself here was to force the people here to take a bath every day.
Gradually, they developed a good habit of paying attention to hygiene.
But today …
She walked around the lake and confirmed that there was no one around. Then, she saw a snow-white tent hidden by the rocks upstream.
Her heart skipped a beat and she walked over.
She saw Di Fuyi sitting in front of the tent with a small table in front of him. There was tea and snacks on the table. He was sitting there, and his robe was fluttering in the wind. He looked very carefree.
Gu Xijiu looked at the tent behind him and then looked at him again. No matter where he went, he always looked so elegant.
