Gu Chengyu stood in the courtyard and noticed an apricot tree growing very tall near the east wing.
Standing in the courtyard, the view was inevitably obstructed, so climbing the tree would offer a clearer sight. It seemed Ming Mo had indeed climbed the tree earlier.
With a light tap underfoot, Gu Chengyu found a branch to sit on. Indeed, the view from here was excellent, and he could also see the back of the west wing house.
The entire village had already fallen asleep; only the sound of insects chirping could be heard. The gentle night breeze made the moment rather enjoyable.
Gu Chengyu casually picked a book from the space, which introduced various local delicacies. His night vision meant reading in the tree was no problem, as the long night called for some entertainment.
The store had mobile phones, but they were all new with nothing inside them. Besides, in the nighttime, if someone waking up saw the phone's bright light, wouldn't that scare them to death?
