"Alright, it's up to you! I'll go and pack up now. "Gu Xijiu turned around and walked towards her backyard.
This place was like a mirage that he had ordered people to build. Of course, he had a reason to destroy it. After all, he was a God and it was only a matter of a thought for him to build or repair it.
Indeed, some things could be repaired and destroyed quickly. She used to think that this place was her safe haven, but it was just a flash in the pan …
"Do you need me to help you?" Messenger Shangshan asked from behind.
"It's alright, there's not much." Gu Xijiu turned around and left.
Messenger Shangshan looked at her back with a complicated expression. He thought that the lady would be very disappointed after he had conveyed the message, but unexpectedly … she was very calm throughout the whole process.
It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it was difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. When a person was used to receiving special care, it would become a matter of course.
When all the special care was taken away, it would feel like falling from heaven to earth. It should not be a normal kind of disappointment, but this lady was not. She did not even ask why …
...
The west wind had withered the green trees, and the luxuriant bamboo covered the painting tower.
The Lord stood in the middle of the bamboo forest with a bamboo tube in his left hand and a knife in his right hand. He was making a bamboo flute, and it was about to take shape.
Messenger Shangshan finally came back and reported, "My Lord, I've followed your orders and asked Miss Gu to move to the Fengshang Valley. The house has been demolished."
"What did she say?" The Lord asked casually.
Messenger Shangshan passed a voice recorder, "My brain is not working well recently, so I'm afraid that I might miss something. Hence, I've recorded everything with this. My Lord, please listen."
He opened the voice recorder and the conversation between Gu Xijiu and Messenger Shangshan could be heard …
The Lord was still cutting the bamboo, and no one knew if he was listening.
A moment later, the voice recorder stopped. The Lord raised his head and glanced at the voice recorder in Messenger Shangshan's hand, "That's all she said?"
"Yes, that's all."
"What did she take away?"
"It's all her belongings. She didn't touch anything else."
"Where's the tea that I asked you to give to her?"
"I gave it to her, and she thanked me. However, she said that the tea was expensive and was the Lord's favorite. She did not dare to take advantage of him, so she didn't accept it. Oh yes, she also repaired The Lord's bed curtains and asked me to return them to The Lord. "
Messenger Shangshan took out the neatly folded bed curtain from his storage bag and handed it over with both hands.
The bed curtain was unfurled, revealing the torn area.
It had to be said that Gu Xijiu had a pair of skillful hands. The big wound had been tightly stitched with a special technique. She probably felt that a simple stitching would not look good, so she took the opportunity to embroider a crane. It had a black neck and white feathers. It had a pair of lifelike wings and was flying away.
The Lord had originally drawn a landscape painting on the mosquito net. The cranes flying in the sky matched the painting very well as the hole was located at the crane's neck. The crane's neck was greyish black, which obscured the hole and made it hard for people to tell that it was stitched up. It was a natural scene to look at.
"My Lord, Miss Gu is really smart. Look at her embroidery … Ahem, although her embroidery is not that outstanding, it's her ingenuity that is rare …"
"How long did she take to embroider this?"
"About two hours …"
"How long have you been demolishing the house?"
"About two hours —"
