My fox demon wife is actually the school beauty of my father’s class

Chapter 80 Familiar yet strange him
Gu Dong woke up in a hot afternoon.

Smelling the unique stench of sweat and hemp powder mixed with wine on his body, he frowned in disgust, then looked around, looked at the empty wooden house, and gave a tentative shout. :
"Jiuer?"

In the empty room, you could only hear the clucking of a few chickens outside, but no one responded.

Maybe after falling asleep, I felt bored, so I went somewhere else first?
Or... after a brief visit, she found that she was not the person she was looking for, so she left first?
Forget it, don’t think so much, you still have a lot to do today.

Gu Dong washed his body and hair hastily with well water. Gu Dong's body was still a little wet. He didn't have time to dry it off and walked to the nearby thatched cottage where he taught.

The afternoon class has already passed for more than half an hour, and the children should be waiting at the door impatiently...

Maybe some of the children who couldn't wait had already gone back to work in their own fields.

Just when he arrived outside the school, Gu Dong was surprised to see Su Jiuyue squatting at the door, playing with the children, with a smile on her face, and couldn't help but be startled.

This woman, like the king of children, was holding a straight wooden stick she picked up from somewhere in her hand, showing off her power among the children.

It's just that her delicately crafted pretty face is a bit out of place among the children with dirt on their faces.

"Are you awake? If you don't wake up, your students will be bored to death waiting here."

Spotting someone's figure, Su Jiuyue patted the dust on her body and stood up, smiling at Gu Dong who was stunned.

My students seemed to like this beautiful outsider sister very much. When they saw Su Jiuyue suddenly got up and stopped playing with them, they all gathered around her, talking nonsense, trying to attract her attention. .

Some of the bolder boys seemed to be still thinking about the sword-like stick in her hand. They held it tightly with their little hands and had a "let me play with it" expression on their faces.

"It's not all because of the Ma Fei Powder you brought... I can't understand why you stole things. I really doubt how you survived all these years..."

Gu Dong shook his head helplessly, and the children around him looked confused as they listened to the conversation between the two.

Opening the door of the school and taking the children to their seats, Gu Dong waved his sleeves and asked them to read the "Xiang Zhuan" from the "Book of Changes" a few times. Then he looked at the people sitting by the window facing the country road. Su Jiuyue was in a daze.

Even though the sun is blazing, because it is located on the seaside, with green forests on the nearby hills and villages, it is actually much cooler here than in some cities.

Occasionally there are one or two small ditches that divert water in the fishing village. The trickle is gurgling and the cool breeze is blowing on the face. Some old waterwheels are slowly and leisurely squeaking and turning, bringing up puff after puff of water, breaking the whole place. A bit of tranquility in the small fishing village.

Seeing the summer wind blowing the unknown green leaves on the roadside, Su Jiuyue turned around and sighed: "This place is really like a paradise."

Gu Dong glanced at her and said:

"Don't you have a lot of time? In all these years, you haven't thought about taking a good look at this great river and mountains?"

Su Jiuyue knew what the other party meant, so she just asked her why she had to wait for Gu Xia's reincarnation. Now that times have changed, the court has long given up on killing all demons. Why not take this opportunity to see the great mountains and rivers and find her own new fate? .

"Isn't it nice here? There are beautiful rivers and mountains... I think it's not as good as this small village."

Su Jiuyue shrugged and replied calmly.

The rivers and mountains are nice, but they are too vast.

Everything is not so boring when you are in this small village.

"You have to know that I am not him. To me, we only met each other once."

"I know."

Su Jiuyue held her chin and turned to look at Gu Dong:
"So I'm here, apologizing to him, and getting to know you by the way, just like making a new friend."

"you……"

Hearing this, Gu Dong was unable to refute, but was silent for a moment, and then sighed helplessly.

"That's it, let you go. Let's talk about it first. My family is not a rich and powerful family. I can't serve you with a lot of money every day."

"At least it's better than staying in that temple and eating vegetable cakes, right?"

"That's true."

After recalling that dream-like memory, Gu Dong's mouth twitched when he thought of the tasteless vegetable cake.

I definitely can't be a monk or something.

The topic ended here, and the children's reading seemed to be gradually coming to an end, and their voices became quieter.

"It will take me another two hours to teach here. You can find something to do by yourself, or just walk around."

Gu Dong left a warning, turned around and walked up to the podium, opened his own book, and talked about some obscure things that made Su Jiuyue feel sleepy.

Tsk...scholar...

Only a fool would go to school and be happy eating and drinking...

Su Jiuyue looked at the children in the class who were nodding their heads from time to time like her. She felt the same for a moment and secretly cursed in her heart.

……

Two very torturous hours were finally over.

After teaching the children lessons and preparing coarse rice porridge and some side dishes for the children, Gu Dong and Su Jiuyue walked side by side on the edge of the deserted field.

The sun has set and the sky is getting late. Even the villagers who want to do farming will not continue to farm in the fields where they can't see their hands.

Even the fishermen who were fishing at the beach had already gone home. There were only floating fishing nets and fishing boats rising and falling on the shore not far away.

So at a glance, you can only see the farmland cultivated by these villagers, large and small, scattered on the side of the road, and the empty stone shore, without any other human figures.

Taking a deep breath of the air mixed with the smell of earth and sea, Su Jiuyue, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked: "What do you think, come to teach in a place like this?"

Gu Dong said:
"Because I'm too busy to panic."

"Because of leisure? Why come to such a remote place? Shouldn't teachers like you be very popular in big cities? Just find a teacher from a wealthy family and you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life. Are you bored?"

Gu Dong smiled and said, "Whatever do you think? Maybe it's really like what you said, maybe because it's boring?"

Su Jiuyue sneered at this.

Still bored?
Forget it, good old Gu Xia, she had just arrived in the village this time and she found out that the teacher named Gu in the village taught for free. For this reason, he had to pay for food out of his own pocket so that the children could come to class...

It is nothing more than wanting to rely on my own meager strength to allow more poor children to receive education and have the opportunity to have a better life.

What a fool, just like that smelly monk.

I remembered the children I happened to catch a glimpse of when I was accompanying Gu Dong to class in the thatched cottage.

Some of them were sleeping, some were in a daze, and some were even weaving bamboo baskets under the table. They didn't look like they were having a good class at all.

They just listened to what their family members told them that if they stayed here for two hours, they would get a free meal, so they reluctantly came to take classes.

Thinking of this, Su Jiuyue asked:
"Do you think it really makes sense for you to do this?" "There must be meaning..."

Gu Dong looked at the setting sun in the distance and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Su Jiuyue looked at his expression and was very puzzled:
"Those children don't study well in class. Even their families only let them come here just to earn money from you. What's the point?"

"They can listen to a little bit, the basic principles of how to behave in the world, and how to be a human being... There is no harm in remembering this kind of thing. If there is any child in the future, there is a good opportunity, and there is still some ink in the belly, there will be Did you develop this small fishing village after you made a fortune?"

Hearing this, Su Jiuyue was silent for a while, and then said:
"You seem to have an overly idealistic view of the people here. Even though you have put in so much effort, they may not be what you think..."

"That's what teaching and educating people is like. Although I don't know what kind of people they will become in the future, now that I'm here, I have the responsibility to watch them and do my best to let them grow up well... "

Su Jiuyue sighed: "You are such a good old man."

"I remember you and Gu Xia also said this."

"No, you remember wrongly."

Under the setting sun, on the path, two figures, one big and one small, were drifting away. Looking at them playing around, they looked like old friends who had known each other for a long time, but the distance between the two figures made them look a little unfamiliar.

……

After eating a mediocre dinner and tidying up the room, there was nothing else to do. He chatted for a while until there was nothing left to talk about, and Gu Dong was ready to take a rest. .

but……

When he thought of resting, he looked at the imageless Su Jiuyue sitting on the stone stool and picking her teeth, lost in thought.

He had always regarded the other party as just an ordinary friend, but now that the night was getting darker, it was probably going to be bedtime soon, and then he remembered -

Although Su Jiuyue is a demon and has lived for hundreds of years, she is also a member of the opposite sex!

He is also a gorgeous fox demon!

As a result, Gu Dong's expression when he looked at Su Jiu Yue became visibly awkward. He was a little at a loss for a moment, his lips moved and he didn't know how to speak.

"Huh? Have you finished cleaning up? What do you want to see me do?"

The noisy cleaning sounds in her ears suddenly stopped. Su Jiuyue, who was still in a daze, raised her head and frowned at Gu Dong, who was hesitant to speak.

"Uh...nothing, I just wanted to ask Jiu'er where are you staying tonight?"

"Where do you live?"

Su Jiuyue was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Gu Dong like a fool.

"I'm a guest here. I don't know anyone here, and there's not even an inn here. Where else can I stay except at my employer's house?"

"..."

Gu Dong was silent.

It's embarrassing to say that when he built this small bamboo house, he didn't even consider that guests would come to visit, let alone someone staying overnight, so he simply made this small and medium-sized room. There’s another utility room for firewood…

The utility room is not only narrow, but also a little messy.

It is certainly not polite to let guests stay in the utility room, so it seems that he can only spend the night with Chai Huo tonight.

He glanced at his relatively comfortable wooden bed with some reluctance, sighed softly, and prepared to walk out of the house.

"What are you going to do?"

Seeing this guy suddenly asking some strange questions and then walking out of the house, Su Jiuyue frowned and asked in confusion.

"Go to sleep. You have to get up early to teach tomorrow. Jiu'er, you are a... female. It's definitely not appropriate to live in the same room. There happens to be a thatch pile in the utility room next door. I can just go and sleep there."

Gu Dong didn't know for a while whether he should call Su Jiu Yue a girl or a woman. He hesitated for a long time, and finally used a more general name to deal with it.

Oh?
Looking at his somewhat narrow expression, the corners of Su Jiuyue's mouth gradually rose.

This kid... seems a bit funny, right?

Gu Xia is such a stupid person. He always has a serious expression no matter what he does, and basically can't see any mood swings.

This compares to...

She suddenly became playful and stood up slowly. Under Gu Dong's gaze, she slowly walked to the bed, then sat down on the bed, leaned over slightly, and looked at Gu Dong playfully:
"Why is it so wrong? I didn't even mind. Why are you so shy in the first place?"

"This, this is not a matter of being shy or not!"

Being teased like this, Gu Dong was even more at a loss.

Hearing this, Su Jiuyue did not answer in a hurry. She just gently took her white lotus feet out of her shoes and quickly stuffed them into the thin quilt:
"What's the problem~"

"Anyway, it's not suitable. Needless to say, I'm a little tired, so I'm going to rest first."

Although the other party's words were just teasing, but combined with her pretty face, Gu Dong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable looking directly at this person who was very familiar in his memory.

After saying that, he seemed to be running away and wanted to run out of the house.

It's just that his movements seemed a little hasty, and his white robe got awkwardly caught on the door rail.

Seeing the other party hurriedly adjusting his clothes, Su Jiuyue, who was sitting on the bed, chuckled.

"Hey, idiot!"

"what?"

Hearing the call, Gu Dong took off his robe from the door rail and instinctively raised his head.

But he saw a black thing flying towards him.

He quickly stepped forward to catch it, and then he realized that it was the thin quilt and pillow thrown by the other party.

"Even in summer, the nights at the beach are cold. I brought my own bedding. You can take these by yourself."

Speaking of this, Su Jiuyue smiled and patted the bed under her: "Also, thank you for giving me the bed."

Gu Dong was stunned at the door, then scratched his head in embarrassment, without saying anything more, and slipped out holding the thin quilt and pillow in his arms.

Looking at the panicked back, Su Jiuyue's eyes were a little confused.

He... seems to be really different.

But there are many similarities.
