Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 943 The Grave Robbers' Chronicles 31

No, she needs to be mindful of the time.

Otherwise, explaining it to your family would be a huge hassle.

Zhang Qiling returned shirtless, carrying the prepared fish.

His hair was wet; he must have taken a shower before coming back.

The temperature here is neither too hot nor too cold, it's like a constant temperature, so you can even tolerate taking a cold shower.

Gu Wusi was standing at the door of the wooden house, looking at the mushrooms she had just picked.

Seeing that he wasn't wearing any clothes, their gazes lingered on him, staring at him openly and frankly.

Zhang Qiling felt her gaze, paused slightly, then resumed his normal pace.

He placed the fish on a clean stone, started a fire, and then used some thin pieces of wood he had somehow acquired to skewer the fish and grill it.

After getting ready, I went into the cabin and put on a hoodie I had brought.

As for down jackets, they no longer wear them.

Both of them came in carrying bags, and Gu Wusi could also use the bags to take out some things from his spatial storage.

As for Zhang Qiling, if he finds it strange, it doesn't matter; given his personality, he won't ask.

She doesn't even need to make an excuse.

Thinking about it this way, there are quite a few advantages to being a person who talks less.

If Hei Xiazi were here, he would definitely be very talkative and would ask questions whenever he had the chance.

Gu Wusi went to wash the mushrooms and came back to watch Zhang Qiling grill the fish. He was sure he could grill it well.

But she couldn't eat it without any flavor.

"Here, sprinkle this seasoning on."

Zhang Qiling took the spice bottle she handed him.

The aroma fills the air the moment the seasoning is sprinkled on.

Their first meal at the Bronze Gate consisted of grilled fish and grilled mushrooms.

There is no distinction between day and night here. Gu Wusi plays, eats, sleeps, and then plays again when he wakes up.

She slept on a chaise longue taken directly from her spatial storage.

Zhang Qiling's daily routine consists of spacing out; he even needs to be reminded to eat.

However, it's not easy to get hungry here; Gu Wusi felt that they only ate once every few days.

But she sometimes gets cravings, so she always has various snacks on hand.

Compared to her comfortable lifestyle of playing games and snacking every day, Zhang Qiling next to her was just a blockhead.

She looked at the snacks she had given him for the third time, which he had left untouched.

If you give it to him, he will take it, but he just won't eat it.

Gu Wusi felt that his life was too boring and too lonely.

"If you weren't guarding the gate, what would you like to do?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiling's expression shifted, as if he were thinking or not reacting at all.

Gu Wusi didn't care; if he could answer, he wouldn't be Zhang Qiling.

Just then, a noise came from the crack.

Zhang Qiling snapped out of his thoughts, stood up, grabbed his knife, and prepared to go over.

Before leaving, he said, "Stay here, don't come any closer."

Gu Wusi didn't move for the time being, watching him walk over and skillfully and neatly kill those demonic beasts.

Low-level monsters are not difficult to deal with, but there are quite a few of them, and they consume a lot of energy.

After several hours, when they noticed that Zhang Qiling's breathing was slightly disordered...

Gu Wusi took out her sword and went over to help.

Seeing that she handled it quite easily, Zhang Qiling didn't send anyone back.

The two men, armed and relentless, fought for three days and three nights before they finally stopped seeing any more monsters emerge.

Gu Wusi looked down at himself and saw a few drops of monster blood that had been accidentally splashed on him, which also had a fishy smell.

She was a little disgusted and tired, but now she didn't mind the dirt on the ground and sat down against a stone wall.

He took out two bottles of mineral water, tossed one to Zhang Qiling, and then drank it in large gulps to relieve his dehydration.

This was purely a physical activity, and she didn't use any spiritual energy to relieve the strain. She just wanted to get some exercise, and to her surprise, although it was tiring, it felt quite good.

Resting after being extremely tired brings a special kind of satisfaction.

After Zhang Qiling finished dealing with the corpses of the monsters, he washed his hands before returning to drink water.

He bent his knees and sat down next to Gu Wusi, also resting against the stone wall.

"I'm starving and exhausted. I need a Manchu Han Imperial Feast to make up for it," Gu Wusi joked.

Xiao Qi, did you end up staying at someone's house after chatting with them?

It's been so long since I came back; the current here must be really fast.

I wonder if the Gu family, who haven't received any calls from her lately, think something has happened to them.

Zhang Qiling suddenly stood up.

"Where are you going?" Gu Wusi didn't want to move at all, but he didn't expect that he would still have the energy to do something else.

That shouldn't be the case. Isn't he tired?

"Catching fish."

Thinking about all the different ways to cook fish, Gu Wusi was indeed very hungry.

"Catch a few more... Wait for me, I'm going too."

"Ah."

The person who said she was going didn't move for a long time, and Zhang Qiling looked at her.

Gu Wusi looked at him and smiled as she reached out her hand: "Pull me up, I feel like I'm rooted to the ground and can't get up."

"..."

"Hurry up, I've been helping you these past few days and I'm exhausted. You can't just abandon me."

Zhang Qiling met her gaze, glanced away before grabbing her sleeve and pulling her up.

Gu Wusi smiled when he saw this, and the way he deliberately grabbed his sleeve was quite amusing.

When the two reached the pool, Zhang Qiling silently went into the water.

He moved quickly, and in no time a fish was thrown ashore.

Gu Wusi squatted down beside it, watching the lively fish, and decided its fate: "This one will be braised."

With a snap, another one was thrown up.

"This one is steamed."

"..." Zhang Qiling didn't say anything, but his hands were busy.

"Let's grill this one."

After catching a total of four fish, Gu Wusi told Zhang Qiling to stop.

Zhang Qiling looked over with some confusion. Wasn't it said that you could eat a lot when you were hungry? You want more fish?

He didn't understand, but he didn't ask.

Gu Wusi understood what he meant: "Even if we're hungry, we can't just eat fish. I've prepared other things too."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiling stopped and went ashore.

He'd seen her recently, pulling out lots of things her bag couldn't possibly hold, so he wasn't surprised anymore.

Seeing Zhang Qiling processing fish on the shore, Gu Wusi decided to take a bath.

The small pool and the large pool are separated only by a not-so-high stone wall.

If you squat down, you can't see the other side at all.

Zhang Qiling squatted by the large pool, hearing the sound of water coming from the other side. He was caught in a dilemma: whether to leave or stay.

If I leave, I have to stand up; if I don't leave, I can still hear the noise.

He pursed his lips, applying more pressure as he handled the fish, focusing his attention on it.

Gu Wusi originally did not plan to bathe in the pool, but after arriving, he found that the water was flowing and a little warm.

It's like soaking in a hot spring; you don't wash yourself unless you're clean.

As for the claim that it's unsafe to shower here, that's impossible.

If someone like Zhang Qiling were to watch her bathe, she'd drink all the water in the room.
