A few families nearby half-awoke in a daze, seemingly catching the scent of meat. Smacking their lips, they assumed it was just a dream and turned over, falling back to sleep.
A few night watchers noticed the commotion over here. However, besides Gu Kaiyuan, the escort on night watch was also busy stewing meat, and the aromas were surprisingly similar. This made them more wary of Gu Kaiyuan, so naturally, they didn't come over to cause trouble.
Early the next morning, Zhuang Datou and the others stood before Gu Kaiyuan, scratching their heads in shame. "Sir, why didn't you wake us for the night watch?"
They had agreed beforehand that they would take the second half of the night.
"I couldn't sleep anyway," Gu Kaiyuan said. "Hurry up and wash up. I've already made breakfast."
Zhuang Datou felt even more guilty. Before he could say anything, his ear was grabbed. Dongmei gritted her teeth and whispered fiercely into his ear, "Zhuang Datou, is this how you serve Sir?"
