Chapter 109: Dust removal

Li Chaoge felt that his cool fingertips were touching his cheeks, and half of his body couldn’t move anymore. Gu Mingke carefully wiped the flour off her face and said, “Don’t worry, you have already made a lot of progress.”

Li Chaoge strained his face hard and nodded blankly. Afterwards, she lowered her head and squeezed the dough in her hands, but her mind was completely blank.

Gu Mingke took the initiative just now? Wiping her face? Doesn’t he really dislike contact with others, he is so kind? Sometimes?

Gu Mingke saw Li Chaoge kneading the dough back and forth. He really couldn’t see it. He stretched out his hand to cover the back of her hand, and took her to pinch Laohu’s face: “You can’t eat it anymore. You can’t add flour here. Tighten your fingers towards the back…”

Li Chaoge seemed to have lost the command of his fingers and was completely manipulated by Gu Mingke. Gu Mingke had just put down his long sleeves, and the hem of the sleeve was rubbing against Li Chaoge’s arm. It was cold and itchy.

The second half of Li Chaoge was completely? Was distracting? She didn’t pay much attention. A lifelike old tiger appeared at her fingertips. Gu Mingke held the old tiger and said to her, “Bring two sun beans.”

Li Chaoge recovered, and reached out to fish for beans in the basin. She asked: “What color do you want?”

“See you like it.”

Li Chaoge picked two round red beans. She originally planned to hand them to Gu Mingke, but instead of reaching out to take them, Gu Mingke said to her, “Set on the old tiger’s face.”

Li Chaoge could only do it by himself. Gu Mingke was gluing his beard to the old tiger. Two people were fighting with their fingers. Li Chaoge hurriedly pressed the eyes of the old tiger that he carefully selected, and said to Gu Mingke unhappily, “Are you careful? Some of them? I almost wiped people’s eyes off.”

Gu Mingke chuckled softly. He took the bamboo stick from the chopping board, dipped it with black powder, and said to Li Chaoge: “Then please protect his eyes and beard, I want to engrave it.”

Li Chaoge was careful to protect the organs on the old tiger’s face, and he didn’t dare to exert any effort, for fear that he would squeeze the old tiger’s head out of shape. Gu Mingke didn’t tie his sleeves, and the bottom of his sleeves flickered, almost touching the flour. Li Chaoge looked at her heart and frightened, she freed up a hand to help Gu Mingke pull her sleeves and said, “Don’t shake your hands.”

Gu Mingke was painting the character “王”, and when he heard Li Chaoge’s words, his men couldn’t help but pause. He glanced at Li Chaoge, with a little temper in his firm tone: “Impossible.”

He has held the sword for so many years, how could his hands tremble? This is simply an insult to him.

Next, Gu Mingke seemed to be competing with someone. He drew three horizontally and one vertically, moving cleanly, without shaking his wrists at all. Li Chaoge saw that he had finished painting, he threw down his sleeves, and hummed softly, “If you can’t, you won’t, who is it?”

After that, Li Chaoge stumbled and pinched the zodiac. Gu Mingke couldn’t see it, so he came to give pointers. The two struggled to “cooperate”, unconsciously, all the dough was used up. The old mother-in-law took the last plate of birthday cake and steamed it. Li Chaoge’s fingers and arms were all covered with flour. She sat on the mat and sighed, “It’s finally over.”

Li Chaoge sits down? There is no right way, but Gu Mingke still sits on his knees upright, raising his hand to adjust his sleeves. The old mother-in-law went back to the kitchen to fetch things, saw Li Chaoge all in powder, and quickly said, “Thanks to you today, you should go to the room and rest. I will watch the steamer.”

How can I make the old man tired? Li Chaoge hurriedly declined. The old woman said: “It’s fine to watch the steamer next, and it doesn’t take much trouble. Today? It’s twenty-nine. I want to sweep away all the bad luck for a year? Go out, the next year will be safe and healthy. The girl has so much flour on her body, it is better to go back to the room to clean up, I will look at the stove, and call you when it is steamed.”

Li Chaoge thought he was really unfamiliar with the bamboo basket here, if he didn’t master the heat, it would be a disservice to steam the birthday cake. She did not refuse any more, and took the water back to the wing to clean it.

Li Chaoge soaked his hands in the water and carefully washed the sticky dry noodles. The flour has dried out, and it took her a while to wash it all off. Li Chaoge picked up the veil, wiped his fingers and forearms, and asked Gu Mingke, “I didn’t find anything in the mountains, tomorrow? What should I do, are you still going into the mountains?”

The two kneaded the dough together, Li Chaoge was covered in powder, but Gu Mingke had become dry, clean and quiet. Gu Mingke said: “No hurry, tomorrow? I’ll make arrangements.”

As Li Chaoge untied his sleeves, he sat opposite Gu Mingke and said, “As soon as you get close to here, the tracing tactics become invalid. Why? Do you have any restrictions on these tactics?”

“As long as there is a way to crack the tactics.” Gu Mingke’s tone was light, his eyes didn’t know what was going on, and they happened to fall on Li Chaoge’s arm. She had just unbuttoned one sleeve, and the sleeve was about to fall, hanging on the elbow. She turned her back and was untying the tie on the other arm. She was wearing a crimson dress, the crimson color was so deep and full that she looked black, hung on her porcelain-white arm, the contrast was sharp, and it struck a sense of extravagance.

The crimson sleeves slid down, covering the bright arm, and Gu Mingke’s sight was also withdrawn silently. The two of them were sitting and talking, and there was a knock on the door outside, and the old mother-in-law’s voice sounded from behind the door: “The birthday cake is steamed. Come and taste it.”

When Li Chaoge heard it, he hurriedly went outside to open the door. Li Chaoge repeatedly said that they had eaten before and didn’t need food, but the old mother-in-law still enthusiastically left the pastry to them. Li Chaoge couldn’t help but can only take it.

The old mother-in-law sent a set of zodiac signs, from rat to pig. The old mother-in-law was very happy to see them accept the birthday cake. It’s getting dark. Go to bed after you eat.”

Li Chaoge responded awkwardly and sent the old mother-in-law out. After the old mother-in-law left, Li Chaoge closed the door, reluctantly? He said to Gu Mingke: “This old mother-in-law is too enthusiastic, isn’t she really afraid that we are gangsters?”

After Li Chaoge finished speaking, he didn’t hear Gu Mingke reply. She turned around and saw Gu Mingke sitting at the table, staring at a birthday cake with interest. Li Chaoge followed his gaze and saw a black dragon lying softly? Paralyzed on the bamboo strips. She spent so much time, this dragon still couldn’t stand up.

Gu Mingke stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to pick up the dragon. Li Chaoge saw it and hurriedly ran over to stop him: “Don’t move?, this is mine!”

Gu Mingke’s action is a quick step, taking the lead in holding the dragon in his hand, as if he still needs to watch it carefully. Li Chaoge gritted his teeth secretly, with strength in his hands to grab: “Give it to me.”

Gu Mingke stretched out his arms to block, steadily stopping Li Chaoge’s actions. Seeing this, Li Chaoge was no longer polite, and resorted to a small snatching technique to grab him. Gu Mingke held the birthday cake with one hand, and was able to deal with it with the other hand? To resolve Li Chaoge’s strength, the two made several moves in the blink of an eye.

Li Chao singer was blocked by Gu Mingke. She squinted her eyes and stared at him and said, “You have to do this?”

“You did it first?”

Li Chaoge got real, and immediately used all his strength. Gu Mingke blocked with one hand. Although Li Chaoge didn’t let Li Chaoge touch the dragon, he still had to stand up and move around. The two moved quickly and silently in the room. As soon as Gu Mingke opened the distance, Li Chaoge approached.

Gu Mingke held Li Chao’s singer’s wrist and was about to end the naive contest when he heard a soft noise outside. The strength of Gu Mingke’s hand suddenly changed direction. Li Chaoge clearly felt that Gu Mingke was letting go. She was about to withdraw her hand. Suddenly, Gu Mingke held her wrist back and pulled it back.

Li Chaoge was caught off guard? He was dragged down. In the countryside, the land was small, and there were no screens, fans, etc. The open space was not far away from the bed. The two of them had fought in a blank space just now, and now Gu Mingke fell backwards and was about to fall onto the bed.

To make matters worse, he took Li Chaoge’s hand, Li Chaoge pressed on top of him, and was forced to fall toward the bed, looking like Li Chaoge threw Gu Mingke down. Li Chaoge has been practicing martial arts for many years and her body is sensitive. When she touches the bed board, she adjusts her posture quickly. She pressed her knees on the edge of the bed, and her palms supported the bedding. After buffering her strength, she was not injured. However, Gu Mingke was lying flat on the bed and Li Chaoge was on top, which made the two people’s posture more ambiguous.

The singer Li Chao was about to get up as soon as he was able to stabilize, but Gu Mingke shook her wrist without a trace, and pulled her back again. How could Li Chaoge make any money? Without breaking away, she couldn’t help gritting her teeth: “Are you crazy?”

Gu Mingke gave her a heavy look, his eyes turned slightly, and he gestured out the window.

There are people outside.

Li Chaoge was stunned by Gu Mingke’s show operation just now, and he didn’t pay attention to the movement outside. At this moment, Li Chaoge listened carefully, and he did feel that there was movement outside the window.

The other party barely breathed, no wonder Li Chaoge didn’t notice it just now. However, Li Chaoge is still angrily? Staring at Gu Mingke, with his eyes? Accusing, then what are you going crazy?

Someone took a peek and reminded her, why do this kind of thing?

Gu Mingke didn’t seem to understand her complaint, and said, “It’s not early, it’s time to rest.”

Li Chaoge’s eyes widened? They got bigger, completely? I couldn’t understand what Gu Mingke wanted to do. Gu Mingke put his hand on her shoulder and gently applied force. Li Chaoge didn’t move. Gu Mingke could only increase his strength and forcibly push Li Chaoge down on the bed.

“Stop making trouble, go to sleep.”

Li Chaoge almost hit the bed. She was stuck between the quilt, turned her head and stared at Gu Mingke viciously, and asked silently, “What do you want to do?”

Gu Mingke didn’t answer, he put the palm of his hand? That black dragon on the bed frame, and gently flicked his fingers, the bed nets slowly scattered. Gu Mingke lay back on the quilt, very calm: “Be quiet, don’t make trouble.”

Don’t make trouble? Who the **** is making trouble! Li Chaoge was surprised, she didn’t mind taking the initiative, but she was obviously forced to act like she was taking the initiative, what is this called?

The lights outside did not know when it went out. Li Chaoge was lying on the quilt, looking sideways at Gu Mingke who was not far away. Obviously there have been times when the distance was closer before, but at this moment, Li Chaoge suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Before, even the contact was for the case. How is it like now, the two are lying on the same bed, with tents on all sides, don’t know where in the dark? Fang has a pair of prying eyes. Li Chaoge was stiff. She didn’t dare to move. She persisted for a while and couldn’t help but use her mouth to ask: “How long will I lie down like this?”

Gu Mingke closed his eyes and seemed to smile. He turned his head, his black eyes looked at her like water, put his index finger on his lips, and gestured softly: “Hush.”

Li Chaoge gave up. Her heart? Want Gu Mingke to be comfortable, isn’t she showing her timidity all the time? Li Chaoge tried his best to relax his body, gently turned around, changed a comfortable position, and closed his eyes pretending not to care.

Li Chaoge originally planned to pretend to sleep and deceive the people outside, but she did not expect that after closing her eyes, she felt sleepy for some reason, and actually fell asleep in a daze. Where did Li Chaoge’s body seem to be floating, she suddenly went up and down, dazedly couldn’t find a place to focus on. In the erratic, she heard the long singing, which was mixed with crisp bells.

“The emperor goes to the sky, and the light descends on the earth. Each has its own place, and the common people live in groups. Being peaceful and peaceful, Wang Yuxing master. Use the bell as a guide to call the emperor to return.”

With this unspeakable familiarity, Li Chaoge’s soul seemed to be affected by it, and floated towards a place. Just when she was dizzy and couldn’t tell the difference between today and eve, a voice suddenly came from her ear: “Li Chaoge, wake up.”

In the white mist, this voice bursts through the chaos like the sky bursts, the clouds collect rain, and the chaos is instantly destroyed. Li Chaoge suddenly regained consciousness, opened his eyes hard, and found that she was still lying on the bed in the farmhouse.

Li Chaoge’s heart? Dirty beating fast? What was that just now? Seeing her awake, Gu Mingke retracted his fingers and said in a low voice: “Careful? Don’t go to sleep again.”

There was a cold on Li Chaoge’s forehead, and it was Gu Mingke who awakened her. Li Chaoge later consciously stroked his eyebrows, and there seemed to still be the touch of Gu Mingke’s fingertips. Gu Mingke half propped up, and looked out the window silently through the gray bed net.

Li Chaoge lay quietly for a while, feeling that his heart was beating too badly? Not so fast, he lowered his voice and asked, “What’s wrong outside?”

As soon as Li Chaoge said, she found her voice very dumb. She opened her mouth? What was she about to say, a soft and refreshing touch came on the tip of her lips?: “Shhh.”

Gu Mingke pressed his fingers on Li Chaoge’s lips, Li Chaoge’s lips and teeth moved, and finally lay stiffly, without saying a word.

Li Chaoge’s breathing was even? Pounced on Gu Mingke’s fingers and under the fingertips, her lips were soft, like some kind of delicious food.

Gu Mingke thought for a while, but he didn’t even think of what kind of food could correspond to it. He was slightly dazed, and when he came back, he was quite surprised.

What is he thinking? Gu Mingke’s fingers on Li Chaoge’s lips slowly became stiff. He was thinking about safety just now, and didn’t pay attention to other things. Only now did he realize that this posture was too intimate.

Gu Mingke did not take it back, nor did it not take it. Fortunately, the people outside moved. Gu Mingke was relieved. He pretended to calmly withdraw his hand, gently moved away from Li Chaoge, and said, “Okay.”

Li Chaoge supported his arms and slowly got up from the bed. She was accidentally? She fell asleep, her hair was a little loose, and she looked frizzy. Gu Mingke looked away and got out of bed quietly.

Gu Mingke moved to the window, opened a gap, and looked outside quietly. There were faint footsteps behind him. Soon, Li Chaoge came over and followed him and said: “What’s wrong outside?”

After Li Chaoge posted it, the faint enthusiasm enveloped Gu Mingke. Gu Mingke slightly staggered his body and let Li Chaoge look outside.

Li Chaoge was also welcome, and immediately moved closer. They didn’t dare to disturb the people outside. The windows were only opened with a thin slit. If Li Chaoge wanted to see clearly, he could only get as close as possible to Gu Mingke. The cheeks of the two were extremely close, and Li Chaoge was embarrassed. She glanced outwards without any preparation, almost screaming out in fright.

Gu Mingke quickly covered her mouth with his eyesight, so that the distance between the two was closer, and Li Chaoge was almost held in his arms by Gu Mingke. But when Li Chaoge looked outside, how could he still have the heart? Thinking about this little embarrassment and ambiguousness, she was all attracted by the sight of the yard.

The old mother-in-law stood alone in the courtyard, with the bleak stars shining on her, her face that was always kind and simple and full of smiles was expressionless at this moment, like a walking corpse. She held her head with both hands, pulled it hard, and removed the head from her neck.

Rao is the well-informed Li Chaoge, and he is also numb at the moment. The old mother-in-law did not stop after taking off her head, holding her head in her arms, she limped towards the well. She picked up a bucket of water and sat by the well. While brushing her head with a brush, she muttered to herself: “Today? Twenty-nine, we must sweep away the dust at home and wash our body. Valkyrie? Xijie, don’t wash it. If that is the case, Valkyrie? Will not bring down blessings.”

The incision on the old mother-in-law’s neck is smooth, without bleeding or **** flesh, just like a detachable doll. If the head is dirty, take it off and wash it. His head was soaked in the water, his eyes were still wide open, as if he was looking at someone. A headless old woman was sitting behind the water basin, washing her head in the dark. After her head was cleaned, she put Shuilingling’s head on the well, tearing her hand and taking off her left arm.

This scene is simply terrifying. Li Chaoge didn’t want to look any more, turning away from the edge of the window in disgust.

Li Chaoge was “disgusting” arrived. Seeing her expression, Gu Mingke gently let go of her hand, and said, “If you don’t want to see it, go back to sleep. She should wash for a while.”

Li Chaoge hurriedly motioned to him in a low voice, but Gu Mingke grabbed her hand and said indifferently: “She has already removed her head and can’t hear it.”

Li Chaoge thought of the head left to dry at the mouth of the well, but he was speechless for a while. Li Chaoge is now only fortunate that she is wary and strong, and has never drunk the water from that well, otherwise she would really be sick for a lifetime.

She rubbed the goose bumps on her arm. Knowing that the old woman has no ears now, she couldn’t help but lower her voice and asked, “You knew it a long time ago?”

“Yes.” Gu Mingke sat down in his seat and said, “I reminded you that they rarely see people in this village. After the two of us arrived, she confirmed our identities again and again, and finally confirmed that we are alive. Happily ushered us in.”

Li Chaoge thought of the old mother-in-law opening the door for them that day, and happily said, “It’s just a human being,” and couldn’t help getting hairy. It turns out that it’s just a human being, but that’s what it means.

Li Chaoge couldn’t help but look at the cold birthday cake on the table: “These things…”

“Don’t worry? It’s grains.” Gu Mingke said, “It’s just grains grown by dead people. Grains are naturally close to nature, they are still in reincarnation, and it’s okay to eat them.”

Li Chaoge expressionlessly? Sit farther away, let’s forget it, she doesn’t know how to eat with a knife on her neck.

The moon black and the wind were high, and the washing sound was constantly coming from outside the window, which was very strange in the silent night. Li Chaoge calmed down for a while and asked, “So, are all the dead in this village?”

“right.”

Li Chaoge murmured: “No wonder the village is so quiet during the day. I thought it was because there were few people at first. It turned out that it was because they only “live at night”. So, the construction of houses in this village is really a formation?”

Gu Mingke nodded. Li Chaoge looked at his dexterity, and he couldn’t get angry: “Since you have seen it a long time ago, why didn’t you tell me?”

“I’m afraid to scare you.” Gu Mingke said frankly, “Now, at any rate, are you happily spending the day?”

Li Chaoge was angry, she would rather not have this kind of happiness! Li Chaoge was so angry when he thought that she would pity a hag who had been dead for a long time. Seeing that Li Chaoge really cared, Gu Mingke persuaded, “It doesn’t matter, at least she was sincere when she invited you to celebrate the New Year.”

Li Chaoge shook his head, not wanting to talk about this topic anymore. Li Chaoge asked: “What should I do next?”

“Just take it? Don’t know, peace of mind? Go to sleep.” Gu Mingke replied, “They are planning to keep us down, and there will be actions afterwards. Just wait.”

Listening to the outside sound almost finished washing, Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke went back to bed one after another, closing their eyes and pretending to sleep. This time Li Chaoge couldn’t sleep anymore. She kept her ears upright, and sure enough, after a while, there was a slight noise from the window.

Someone opened the window and looked inside the house carefully. The old mother-in-law stared for a long time, and made sure that they were still asleep, so she went back to the house with peace of mind.

The next day, Li Chaoge equipped all the weapons and went out holding the Qianyuan Sword. When she pushed the door, the old woman was standing in the yard fetching water. The old mother-in-law saw her and greeted her enthusiastically: “Girl, did you sleep last night? Okay?”

Li Chaoge smiled lightly: “Thanks to you, I slept very well. Thank you for your concern.”

After Li Chaoge’s scene last night, when he looked at the yard at this moment, he immediately found a lot of things wrong. The clothes worn by the old mother-in-law are not common styles in the Tang Dynasty. Li Chaoge originally thought they were remote and fashionable styles could not be passed on. Thinking about it now, it is clear that they were wearing old clothes because they were dead a long time ago.

In addition, there are many outdated appliances in the yard. Li Chaoge Dang? Without knowing anything, he went out and went around for a while, then went back to stay in the house.

Li Chaoge didn’t care about it before, but now that she knows that something is wrong with the whole village, she is reluctant to go out and walk around. In response to changes, Li Chaoge was waiting in the room. She wanted to see what these ghosts wanted to do.

Li Chaoge was practicing in the house, and it was noon in a blink of an eye. Li Chaoge opened his eyes and found that Gu Mingke didn’t know where he was going, and he was not around at the moment. She had nothing to do, so she simply practised the method that Gu Mingke taught her.

Li Chaoge took out the portrait of Martial God?, as he took care of Mingke’s previous appearance, pinched the secret, sought the track, and condensed the line. Two days ago, Li Chaoge saw the spiritual line disappear at the foot of the mountain. Gu Mingke did all the spells? This, not to mention her. Li Chaoge didn’t hold on to hope, but unexpectedly, a group of red light flashed, suddenly turned into a thin line, extending out of the window.

Li Chaoge was surprised? Stand up. Gu Mingke said that the color of the aura line is the color of each person’s attributes. Everything is divided into five elements? Each person’s mana also has its own attributes. Gu Mingke is blue, while Li Chaoge is red.

Li Chaoge looked at the red line that was much brighter than before, and his eyes gradually became serious. If she remembers correctly, the pursuit technique can find the owner based on the breath, the farther away from the target, the thinner the light, on the contrary, the closer the target is, the stronger the light.

Li Chaoge looked in the direction where the red line hadn’t gone, and slowly clenched the long sword in his hand.

The author has something to say: The emperor goes to heaven, shines down on the earth. Each has its place, and the common people live in groups. ——Pre-Qin Sacrificial Ceremony
