The nearby households, in a daze, seemed to smell the fragrance of meat, smacking their lips as if dreaming, turned over, and dove back into slumber.
There were also a few night watchers, noticing the commotion here, but besides Gu Kaiyuan, the escorts on night duty were busy stewing meat. The aroma was strikingly similar, which made them wary of Gu Kaiyuan, so they wouldn't come over to seek discomfort.
Early the next morning, Zhuang Datou and the others scratched their heads and stood shamefully in front of Gu Kaiyuan, "Master, why didn't you call us to keep watch?"
It was agreed that they would watch in the latter half of the night.
Gu Kaiyuan replied, "Anyway, I couldn't sleep, you all go wash up. I've already prepared breakfast."
Zhuang Datou felt even more guilt but before he could say anything, his ear was grabbed. Dongmei was gritting her teeth and questioning him closely, "Zhuang Datou, is this how you take care of the master?"
