Chapter 227 Leisurely
Xiao Zi rolled over excitedly in his new nest for a few times, then let out a cry of joy.
"Ouch, ow, ow..."
It quickly crawled to Gu Yang and licked his fingers gently, expressing its love for the new nest.
A satisfied smile appeared on Gu Yang's face. He stroked Xiao Zi's head, his eyes full of doting.
This dragon really deserves to be punished. It is much more well-behaved now.
Hu Qing stood aside and watched this scene, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
It seems that Xiaozi has completely accepted this new home. I hope it won't cause any more trouble in the future.
Hu Qing looked up and met Gu Yang. They smiled at each other and decided to move the nest to the second floor to prepare a more comfortable sleeping environment for Xiao Zi.
They carefully moved the nest to the second-floor balcony, making sure it was securely placed in the very corner.
There is a railing behind you, giving you a sense of security, and there is a wall above your head to keep out the rain. It is indeed a good environment.
As for letting it sleep in the room, that is unlikely. Anyway, Xiao Zi looks thick-skinned and shouldn't catch a cold or get sick.
Xiao Zi followed behind them, his eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement, as if he was full of anticipation for this new home.
After arranging Xiao Zi's nest, Hu Qing and Gu Yang returned to the first floor.
They looked at the leftover cotton and fabric and decided to use the materials to make some beanbags.
The two of them divided the work, this time Hu Qing was responsible for cutting the fabric and Gu Yang was responsible for filling with cotton.
After all, he didn't quite know what a sofa was, but fortunately Hu Qing was good at sewing.
In a short while, two soft and comfortable lazy sofas were completed.
The two of them were so tired that they collapsed on the lazy sofa. The softness and comfort of the sofa made them relax instantly.
They closed their eyes and enjoyed the moment of peace.
The moonlight in the yard fell on them, bringing a hint of coolness and a sense of tranquility.
After resting for a while, they brought Xiao Zi to the yard.
Xiao Zi was so hungry that she couldn't bear it anymore, but because of Hu Qing's tyranny, she could only lie down beside Gu Yang and cry out in grievance.
Seeing this, Gu Yang took out the spiritual pork he had bought today and roasted it on the campfire.
The firelight danced, illuminating their faces and Xiao Zi's curious eyes.
Hu Qing went home and brought out two jars of fine wine and placed them next to the campfire.
Fortunately, we had the foresight to hide these wines in the corner of the reception room, otherwise they would have been ruined by Elder Han's clone or Xiao Zi.
Gu Yang looked at the wine beside him and said with a hint of boldness, "Tonight, we have to celebrate well and drink until we are drunk!"
Hu Qing nodded, his eyes lingering between the bonfire and the wine. "Alright, you'd better not raise fish! Drink all this today, if it's not enough, there's more. Don't use spiritual power to stimulate the release of alcohol."
Xiao Zi seemed to understand what they said. It let out a soft cry, then lay down beside the campfire, staring at the roasted spiritual pork without blinking.
Seeing Xiao Zi's stomach growling, Hu Qing and Gu Yang directly roasted the spiritual pork. Their movements were skillful and rhythmic, and every time they flipped and sprinkled the meat, the aroma of the meat filled the air.
Xiao Zi's nose kept twitching and there was a glimmer of anticipation in its eyes.
As time went by, the spiritual pork gradually became golden and crispy, and the aroma of meat filled the entire yard.
Gu Yang opened the wine, poured a glass for Hu Qing and himself, and then prepared a bowl for Xiao Zi.
"Do you think this little thing can be used to drink alcohol?" Gu Yang asked curiously.
Xiao Zi looked at the wine in the glass, took two light licks, then took a big sip, with a confused look in her eyes.
Hu Qing saw its appearance and touched its forehead. He did not feel any heat and said:
"He should be able to drink it. He just drank two sips and nothing seemed to change."
Gu Yang was relieved upon seeing this. He raised his glass and said, "Cheers to our new partner, and to us!"
Hu Qing also raised his glass, his eyes lingering on Xiao Zi: "Cheers to Xiao Zi, and to our future!"
Xiao Zi seemed to sense their joy. It let out a soft cry, then lowered its head and drank the wine.
The two men and the dragon ate and drank, enjoying this rare tranquility and satisfaction.
Under the moonlight, their shadows stretched long on the ground, harmonious and warm.
As time went by, the alcohol gradually took effect, and blushes appeared on Hu Qing and Gu Yang's faces.
They talked more and laughed more heartily.
Xiao Zi seemed to be infected by this atmosphere as well. Excitement flashed in its eyes, and it kept bumping into the storage ring on Gu Yang's finger.
Gu Yang threw out some ore in a daze, but Xiao Zi had no appetite to eat it, so he dragged the ore and buried it in the corner of the yard.
In the end, both of them passed out drunk in the yard, their bodies casually lying on the lazy sofas with satisfied smiles on their faces.
Xiao Zi lay at their feet, curled up in a ball, snoring softly.
The moonlight fell quietly on them, the stars twinkled in the night sky, and the whole yard fell into a peaceful sleep.
……
The morning breeze, with the freshness of dew and a hint of lingering chill, gently blew across the yard.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang were awakened by the cold dew. They rubbed their swollen heads and realized that they had slept in the yard all night.
Although the climate in early spring is not as biting as in winter, the low temperatures at night are still hard to resist.
The two smiled at each other. The joy and relaxation of last night made them completely forget the time until the cold dew woke them from their drunken dreams.
They stood up, stretched their stiff limbs, and were about to go into the house when they found that Xiao Zi was missing.
The two searched the yard for a week but found no trace of it, so they prepared to go into the house to look for it.
When I looked up, I found that Xiao Zi had returned to his nest and fallen asleep. He was curled up in a ball and snoring loudly.
Hu Qing said softly, "It seems that Xiao Zi woke up before us and went back to its nest by itself."
Gu Yang nodded, his eyes softening: "Don't disturb it, let it sleep well."
The two returned to the house, changed into clean clothes, and after washing up, decided to go for a morning run and visit the flowers, plants, and trees they had planted at the foot of Mengfeng Mountain.
They hadn't been to the foot of the mountain for a month, and they still wanted to witness the growth of those lives with their own eyes and feel the sense of accomplishment of sowing the seeds with their own hands.
The two ran down the mountain, the wind whistling in their ears, and they no longer felt the same tiredness as before.
Now going up and down the mountain was too easy for the two of them and had no effect.
After a while, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The scene before them surprised them. The originally dilapidated steps had been completely repaired, and the flowers and plants on both sides had sprouted new buds.
The entire foot of the mountain is no longer as desolate as before, but is replaced by a vibrant scene.
Hu Qing's eyes flashed with surprise: "It seems that our efforts have not been in vain. These plants are growing well."
Gu Yang nodded, a satisfied smile on his face: "Yes, the changes here are really big, full of vitality."
"However, I remember that before we entered the secret realm, there was a large section of stairs that had not been repaired. How come they are all new now? Does the sect have funds?" Hu Qing looked around in confusion.
After this reminder, Gu Yang also discovered it. He pointed to the fruit tree below and said:
"We didn't plant this one either. It's growing so fast, it feels like it was transplanted from somewhere."
The two looked around and found no signs of other missions, so they gave up and let things take their course.
The two of them walked slowly up the newly built steps, taking each step firmly.
They have contributed to this, so it is only natural that they should leave.
Gu Yang would squat down and knock on the steps from time to time to see if there were any holes.
Their eyes lingered on the plants on both sides, observing the growth of each plant.
Under their care, these plants are thriving and showing tenacious vitality.
As time passed, the sun gradually rose, and golden sunlight spread across the entire foot of the mountain.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang sat on a flat stone, their shadows stretched out and projected onto the newly repaired steps.
They sat quietly, enjoying the peace and contentment.
Once they get home, they will have to practice. They have not yet fully digested what they have gained this time.
Gu Yang wanted to break through to the Jindan stage directly during this retreat and there was no time to delay.
