Chapter 147: Chapter 146: A Fool

Gu Youyou swallowed hard, her stomach growling loudly from hunger at that moment. Eventually, her ravenous stomach won over her reason, and she ate the piece of rabbit meat.

A while later, the wild man went out, and Gu Youyou squatted on one side without daring to move. Once he had left, she finally dared to slowly come out.

The man in the coffin still stood there, not coming out. But in those dull eyes, there seemed to be a hint of curiosity as he continued to stare at Gu Youyou.

Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Youyou mustered the courage to approach him a bit and said, "Hey, can you understand what I’m saying or not?"

The man’s expression grew more curious, his head tilted, his dull gaze occasionally showing a simplicity and clarity only found in children.

Feeling a bit bolder, Gu Youyou thought this guy must have something wrong with his brain; she wondered if it was related to the medicine he had drunk.

After all, when she had first arrived, she had only drunk the medicine once, and had secretly poured the rest away, not knowing what condition the previous Gu Youyou had been in.

But one thing she was sure of was that the previous Gu Youyou could talk.

Standing outside the coffin, Gu Youyou smiled at the man and said, "If you can understand me, nod your head, if not, shake your head, alright?"

Err... if he couldn’t understand, there was no need for him to shake his head either.

"Do you understand?"

The man didn’t react, still staring at Gu Youyou as if she were a novel object.

"Why don’t you speak? And... that person outside doesn’t speak either. Are you two mute by any chance?"

"You’re a mute, and an idiot too?"

After trying to speak more with him, Gu Youyou gave up, disappointed!

This guy was simply a fool!

Soon, the stone door of the tomb chamber opened again, and the wild man came in carrying a wooden basin covered with coarse cloth.

He glared at Gu Youyou, who hastily retreated to a corner, trying to minimize her presence.

Then, Gu Youyou saw the wild man bring the wooden basin, filled halfway with water, to the side of the coffin, and after wringing out the cloth, he began to wash the man’s face.

The loving look in his eyes was unmistakable. Even if they weren’t father and son, they were certainly close.

After washing his face, he wiped the man’s body. Gu Youyou, unlike typical ancient women, turned her head away, feeling a bit embarrassed.

She couldn’t understand why the wild man, who was dirty himself, possibly covered in lice, insisted on keeping the man who stayed in the coffin all day clean. Who was it for?

The entire process was silent, yet they cooperated well. Gu Youyou had no idea how these two mutes communicated with each other.

There was no way to tell the time outside in the tomb chamber. After the wild man had completed his tasks, he patted the man’s shoulder, and the man obediently lay down to sleep.

In the coffin!

He got up, walked over to Gu Youyou, and stared down at her from his greater height.

Gu Youyou, who had been quietly squatting in the corner like a mural, had no choice but to respond.

She said with a smile, "Elder, what brings you to me?"

Heaven knows how awkward Gu Youyou’s smile was.

The wild man glared at Gu Youyou with fury and pointed at the coffin in the center of the tomb chamber!

Gu Youyou’s face stiffened, thinking to herself: He couldn’t possibly want me to sleep in the coffin, could he?

With a wry smile, Gu Youyou said, "This... Elder, that’s not quite appropriate, is it? The coffin is narrow; I’m afraid it would make the young master uncomfortable!"

Hearing Gu Youyou say this, the wild man’s gaze became even more ferocious, and with a grunt of anger, he still pointed at the coffin!
