At night, Song Qing, who had successfully sent the death row prisoner to reincarnation, was preparing to go downstairs with dark circles under his eyes to find food to solve the problem of food and clothing.
As he walked, he thought: "No, grafting can be used on the human body, such as replacing damaged organs.
"Then, can it be more subtle? For example, regeneration of broken limbs... Well, this is a unique ability of a third-grade warrior. If I can study the secret in alchemy, it will surely shock the world.
"Xu Ningyan said that biological alchemy should be sothing more subtle... But the human eye cannot see those tiny things... I can make sothing like a telescope."
Telescopes do exist. After the discovery of glass, concave and convex mirrors were developed soon. Telescopes are quite popular in the army and are usually equipped to ordinary soldiers.
Elite scouts rarely use them, because after the Qi training stage, the warrior's vision will be greatly improved. The stronger the strength, the stronger the five senses. Telescopes seem a bit useless.
"Where does the fragrance co from?" Song Qing sniffed.
Following the aroma, he walked downstairs to the kitchen, where he saw Chu Caiwei ordering a few white-clothed people to cook sothing in the pot.
"Oh, there's chicken soup, Sister Caiwei is thoughtful." Song Qing saw the chicken stewing in the small stove, and his mood improved.
"Go away." Chu Caiwei spat at him: "This is the alchemy that Xu Qian'an taught . If it works, it can make the whole world full of delicious food."
After listening to Chu Caiwei's explanation of the principles of chicken essence and MSG, Song Qing pondered for a mont and sighed: "Xu Ningyan is really a strange man."
Yes, this is also alchemy.
Extracting essence from dicinal materials to condense into elixirs, purifying steel from ores to make weapons, and in front of him, extracting umami from mushrooms to make MSG. It is consistent with the knowledge he learned when he gave a lecture that day.
Alchemy covers many fields, and the secret is to extract those invisible things.
"I have no idea what MSG he is talking about, because he didn't provide the process, he just simply said it was extracted from grains." Chu Caiwei said.
"Senior brother will help you." Song Qing touched Chu Caiwei's head.
....
The renovation of the new house was completed two days ahead of schedule, and Xu Qian'an asked for leave from the governnt office to help his second uncle and aunt move.
The aunt, wearing a dark blue silk dress and a jacket of the sa color, pinched her waist with one hand and waved a handkerchief with the other hand, looking like a general leading troops to fight, directing the servants to carry things.
If this posture was replaced by a diocre woman, it would look like a strong market atmosphere, which would be unpleasant.
But if it was replaced by a 36-year-old woman who looked like a young woman in her early thirties, with a beautiful and delicate face and a plump and graceful figure, she would be a beautiful scenery.
Xu Qi'an was thinking, will the beautiful girl with three-dinsional features next to him be as charming as her mother in another twenty years?
Or even better.
Hey, Lingyue is also of marriageable age. I wonder which guy will be lucky enough to marry such a beautiful girl... Xu Qi'an sighed that a girl should not be kept when she grows up, and The and his second uncle acted as porters.
Because they hired enough carriages, it only took two trips to move the things in the mansion. So small things, my aunt planned to buy in the inner city, just take this opportunity to replace them.
My aunt and second uncle are elders, although the house was bought by Xu Qi'an. The main house on the east side was left for the two to live in.
When allocating the house, Xu Lingyue, who has always been gentle, rarely had an argunt with her aunt.
The three-story house is very large, but the core inner courtyard actually has limited rooms. The owner certainly will not live in those guest rooms and the area for the servants of the mansion.
According to his aunt, the townhouse in the west wing belonged to Xu Qi'an, after all, he would marry in the future.
But Xu Lingyue shalessly wanted to live there, next to her elder brother.
His aunt said, you are a grown-up girl, living so close to your brother, you have no sha. Xu Lingyue suddenly got anxious, argued loudly, and quarreled with her mother.
In the end, she also lived in the west wing, but her aunt arranged Erlang's room in the west wing as well, and discussed with Xu Qi'an that when he got a wife in the future, Lingyue and Erlang would move to the north room.
Xu Qi'an was a little reluctant, because if he lived too close, he would not co ho at night in the Jiaofangsi, and his sister would find out. Then she would complain again.
Xu Lingyin was arranged in the room of her uncle and aunt. Children are more familiar with the bed and the environnt, and her aunt was afraid that the young girl would not sleep well at night and have nightmares.
Anyway, the east wing is very large, with three townhouses.
Xu Qi'an quickly decorated his room. His original courtyard was almost undecorated, so there wasn't much to decorate.
He walked out of the room to bask in the sun and saw Xu Lingyin squatting by the well alone. Her scared face was pale, but she seed to be trying her best not to run away.
"What are you doing?" Xu Qi'an asked.
"Brother..." Seeing her powerful brother coming over, Xu Lingyin felt relieved and pointed at the well mouth with so fear: "This place is haunted."
"So, what are you doing squatting by the well mouth?" Xu Qi'an found it a little hard to
understand.
Since you know it's haunted, shouldn't you be afraid and hide far away? Why squat by the well mouth, and insist while being afraid.
"My sister said that ghosts eat children." Xu Lingyin frowned.
"Then?"
She suddenly beca sneaky, trotting over, whispering: "I'm tricking it out, shh... don't let it hear ."
"???"
Xu Qi'an looked at her blankly for a long ti, and gave a thumbs up: "He who knows food is a
hero."
Everyone has ideals. Xu Lingyin found her ideal at a young age: there is nothing in this world that cannot be eaten, only whether I want to eat it or not.
For delicious food, I can use myself as bait... This determination and perseverance, in a sense,
is a genius.
"Then you keep working hard, and when you trick the ghost out, I'll make you delicious
food." Xu Qi'an touched her head.
"Hmm!" Xu Lingyin pecked her head with fear and yearning.
Before dusk, they booked a private room in a restaurant not far from the new house. The
family was very satisfied with the al. Although the taste was not as good as Guiyue Tower,
it was cheaper and closer, so they could eat out often in the future.
Xu Qian'an was lying in the spacious and comfortable new house, looking at the beams above
his head, and suddenly rembered sothing.
Didn't you write to Erlang about the move?
"Forget it, I don't need to worry about this, go to sleep."
East room.
After coaxing Xu Lingyin to sleep, the aunt returned to the bedside, looking at her husband sitting cross-legged on the small couch, she suddenly beca a little worried:
"Master, when Ning Yan gets married in the future, will he compete with for the power of housekeeper? Will he let us move to the west room?
"I heard that daughters-in-law are very vicious and always think of ways to fight their
mothers-in-law."
The aunt was happy. When she married her second uncle, the two parents of the Xu family had already passed away, and she had never been oppressed by the evil mother-in-law.
But even if you haven't eaten pork, you have always seen pigs run. Especially since this house was bought by Xu Qian'an, her "mother-in-law" is not legitimate.
Xu Pingzhi opened his eyes and thought for a while, "With your temper and personality, you
will definitely not be able to fight others."
"Humph!" Auntie was speechless and snorted.
Xu Pingzhi comforted her, "Maybe Ning Yan will marry a stupid wife in the future." Auntie thought it made sense and secretly prayed that her nephew would marry a stupid wife
in the future. Then she could bully him.
"By the way, I haven't written to Erlang yet. We moved to the new house, but he doesn't know about it yet. He went back to the outer city and couldn't find us." Auntie was concerned about
her son.
"You don't need to worry about this. You can't read a single word." Xu Pingzhi, who was also
illiterate, said:
"Ning Yan wrote it."
....
Two days passed in a flash, and Xu Qiyan's life was very peaceful. He patrolled the streets every day, practiced, and took ti to go to Haoqi Tower to communicate with Wei Yuan.
Because of the fall of the Minister of Works, the fighting between the parties cooled down a lot, and no party targeted the night watchman for the ti being.
That night, Xu Qiyan returned ho and found that his second uncle was not there.
"Night patrol today. "Auntie replied.
It is also possible that he went to the Jiaofangsi... Xu Qi'an complained in his heart.
Second uncle is a hundred households of the Imperial Sword Guard. Sotis he patrols the streets during the day and sotis at night. His working chanism is the sa as that of
a night watchman. If Xu Qi'an is involved in so many cases in succession, he will also work day
and night.
In the past, Xu Qi'an trusted his second uncle as much as his aunt did, but since the "chance encounter" in the Jiaofangsi and the subsequent operation of using orange peel to remove the sll of perfu, Xu Qi'an understood.
n's mouths are deceitful ghosts.
I don't seem to have the right to complain about my second uncle... Xu Qi'an lowered his head
to eat.
At night, Xu Qi'an was suddenly awakened by a scream. He opened his eyes, turned over and sat up, and reached out to grab the black and gold long sword leaning against the bed. When he ca to the yard, he saw Lingyue's maid sitting on the ground in a daze, with the
candlestick falling on the ground. Her face was pale, pointing in the direction of the wellhead, trembling and unable to speak.
"What did you see?" Xu Qian'an said in a deep voice.
The door behind him opened, and Xu Lingyue, wearing a coat, ca out to check the
situation.
In the east room, the candlelight in the aunt's room also lit up, and she took Lu'e out to
follow the sound.
"What's wrong?" Aunt frowned.
As more people ca, the maid's fear was reduced a lot. She pointed to the well mouth and
said in a trembling voice: "Well, there is a head in the well. "
Several screams rang out at the sa ti.
Xu Lingyue's face turned pale, and she shrank behind Xu Qi'an, tightly grasping his sleeve.
Aunt also ca over in fear.
"You, you didn't say..." Aunt opened her beautiful eyes wide, terrified.
She didn't say "the ghost has been driven away", this matter must not be known to the
servants in the mansion.
Is there a head in the well? Xu Qi'an clenched the black gold long knife, pressed his hand, and signaled his sister and aunt not to panic. He slowly approached the well.
The vengeful spirit in the well was indeed eliminated, and the well used to raise ghosts in the
den of thieves was also purified. It is impossible for such a thing as vengeful spirits to appear
again. Could it be... Xu Qi'an strode over and went around the back of the well. Sure enough, he saw
the little bean sitting by the well, sleepy.
"It's a big pot..."
After being awakened by Xu Qi'an's scabbard, the little bean rubbed his eyes and muttered.
"Why are you here?" Xu Qi'an thought to himself that it was true.
"I'm hungry, so I ca out to find sothing to eat." The little kid looked at the well mouth,
with a look of admiration on his face: "It's really good at hiding. The child didn't co out even when he was at the door of the house."
Xu Qi'an guessed that the head the maid saw was Xu Lingyin lying on the well mouth and looking around. He rarely felt a sense of frustration that he couldn't vent. "Brother asked the kitchen to bring you so cakes." Xu Qi'an picked her up and walked back.
"Lingyin?" Aunt was shocked, and then her eyebrows were raised, "You damn child, sneaking out in the middle of the night to scare people..." Only then did she realize that Lingyin was not in the room.
Xu Qi'an interrupted Aunt's roar angrily: "She was just hungry."
Although she had eaten three bowls of dinner, she was still hungry. Auntie was now lacking in confidence. She snorted, pinched her waist, stared at Kazilan's big
eyes, and glanced at the little girl.
Xu Qi'an comforted his sister, aunt, and several maids, coaxed them to sleep, and went to the kitchen to get so cakes to feed Xu Lingyin.
The little bean didn't need to be coaxed. She fell asleep while eating.
Xu Qi'an returned her to Lu'e and went back to the room to continue sleeping. In a daze, he
heard soone knocking on the door.
"Brother..." Xu Lingyue's clear and pleasant girlish voice ca from outside the door.
"What's wrong?" Xu Qi'an didn't open the door. It was late at night, and a brother couldn't open the door for his sister. It was not in accordance with etiquette.
"I, I can't sleep. I'm scared..." Xu Lingyue paused and added: "Mom can't sleep either. When
Lu'e asked just now, mom told about the haunted house. As they talked, they also beca
scared.
"Dad is not at ho, they are afraid to sleep."
What does it have to do with if they are afraid to sleep? Let's sit down and play mahjong all
night? Xu Qian'an recalled himself when he used Maidong, and felt the sa way, so he
patiently said:
"Don't be afraid, there are no ghosts in the house."
Xu Lingyue did not reply, and hesitated for a few seconds, "Brother, can you accompany us?"
