Late at night, in the same room, Xia Mingming had already fallen asleep, with an oil lamp lit outside, and Yu Shu was still writing at the desk.

Since escaping from the mouth of the gorge a month ago and arriving at Anling City after several twists and turns, Yu Shu has not had a chance to sort out the inspiration gained from the murder on the ship.

Yu Shu has always been very clear that the law of disaster time that she has calculated a lot of is actually incomplete, and the last adventure made her realize a very serious problem, that is, the variability of disaster time.

Due to the lack of practice, she once thought that using the law to calculate the disaster of a certain day in the future and predicting it in advance could eliminate the disaster, because as a variable value, the probability of any event cannot reach 100%, so it has the possibility of not happening, even if the probability of not happening is so small that it can be ignored, it is not absolute.

So before that, she entered a misunderstanding, only believing that there was no 100% happening, ignoring that relatively speaking, there was no 100% non-happening. Assuming that the probability of zero is happening, and the probability of one is not happening, then the probability can be zero or one, both of which are phenomena from a mathematical point of view. In the risk budget that Yu Shu has been engaged in for many years in his previous life, there will be no absolute zero-sum one, in layman's terms, it is the saying of Qingzheng Taoist - "Disasters can be avoided and cannot be eliminated." ”

Yu Shu gave herself a very simple example, if she calculates at the same time that Xia Mingming and Yu Xiaoxiu will encounter a house fire tomorrow night, then it can basically be determined that this inn will catch fire that night, she calculates this incident, she can leave this inn in advance, stay on the street all night, and let the guests stay in the hotel all night to leave the inn, which is called "avoidable".

However, this fire, she has no ability to eliminate, whether it happens or not, it is not something that she can control as a mortal, this is called "ineliminable".

Maybe when she has the ability of Qingzheng Daoren, she can judge blessings and disasters, and decide life and death, and she may not be able to "eliminate disasters", but the cycle of heavenly principles, retribution is unpleasant, and the cost of "eliminating disasters" is unimaginable.

The harvest is not only that, Yu Shu collected the variable value of estimating Yu Xiaoxiu's encounter with a flood disaster, and added it to the "value library" of her law of disaster time, and then encountered the same approximate value, she was able to judge more accurately.

"Hmm." Yawning and putting down the brush, Yu Shu stretched and turned his sore neck twice, making a crunching sound.

She put the contents of the law of weather and the law of disaster into her leather bag and stuffed it under the bed, thinking that she would have to find a way to make some charcoal pencils when she turned around, and that the brushes were too slow to do arithmetic.

***

The new house was empty for three days, and Yu Shu borrowed these days to go around Qiu Guifang twice a day, explore the market, and buy some divination tools to be used in the future stalls, such as hexagram plates, signatures, yellow calendars, turtle plates, etc., although she may not use them when calculating hexagrams, but it is necessary to use them as a façade.

Xia Mingming went out early and returned late, asking for a letter of recommendation, it still didn't seem like there was any progress, Yu Shu didn't ask her again, the two of them slept in the same room at night, Yu Shu didn't take the initiative to deal with Xia Mingming, Xia Mingming didn't talk to her, but Yu Shu laughed in front of Yu Xiaoxiu and Jing Chen as usual, looking at the eyes of the two of them, he didn't know that the two of them were quarrelling, just Xia Mingming was in a mood alone.

After eating breakfast this day, as soon as Xia Mingming left, Yu Shu took Jingchen to Huixing Street to see the house.

When he met a familiar neighbor in the alley, Yu Shu greeted him very casually, and when asked about Jingchen, he said that he was a brother who would live together in the future.

The lock of the new house was changed by Yu Shu, and a freshly beaten copper lock cost Yu Shu two taels of silver, and there were only three keys, and Yu Shu still kept it by himself, and did not send it to anyone.

As soon as he entered the house, Yu Shu closed the door first, blocked the curious eyes from outside, pulled Jingchen to the door of the West House, pushed the door open and pushed him in together, and couldn't wait to ask:

"Well, can you show me that the house is clean now?"

Yu Shu didn't have no other way to identify the feng shui changes of this new house, but there was Jingchen, so why bother to go far.

Jingchen looked up at the beams, looked at the window, and nodded to her under Yu Shu's slightly nervous gaze, this house did not have the feeling that made him uncomfortable that day.

Yu Shu clapped his hands and said happily: "It's okay if there's nothing to do, you can look around again, I'll measure the size of the other house, and I'll go back and buy furniture." ”

In fact, for the feng shui house, Yu Shu is completely a novice, buying this murderous house, it does not contain a trace of risk, now that it is done, a stone in his heart has fallen, and he is fluttering, all thinking about buying such a good house for fifty taels of silver, he can't help but be a little complacent.

But I still have to Xie Lu and Xie Jingchen, without his sharp eyes, how could she pick up this bargain.

"Here, take it, this is the key to our house from now on, you carry it with you, don't lose it." Yu Shu solemnly handed over a key to Jingchen.

Jing Chen looked at the slender key on his neck in his palm, caught the word "home" in Yu Shu's mouth in his ear, his heart flickered, and he held the weight in his hand.

Yu Shu brought a circle of tape measures with him, and measured the length in each room excitedly, Jingchen walked around the house very carefully, and found no other abnormalities.

The two returned to the inn, Yu Shu made two lists in the afternoon, and found that there were really a lot of things to buy, considering the amount of silver in the bag, he had to cross off some decorations, and only waited for spare money to pick up later.

***

I think it's a good day with good weather and rain, it's not just a matter of the house, Xia Mingming came back in the evening and brought good news.

"Whoa."

An envelope with neat corners was placed on the table in front of Yu Shu by Xia Mingming, Yu Shu didn't need to open it to look at it, he could guess what it was, looking at Xia Mingming's tanned melon seed face, for some reason, he was a little relieved.

"I said I'd get a letter of recommendation." Xia Mingming sat down beside Yu Shu, raised his chin proudly, and looked straight at her, not to show off his might, but to seek recognition.

Three days ago, she made a bet with herself that if she didn't get a letter of recommendation, she wouldn't be allowed to talk to Ah Shu, although the process was bitter and unbearable, but she did it!

Yu Shu raised his hand and pressed on the letter of recommendation, and smiled at Xia Mingming, "It's a bit promising." ”

Xia Mingming snorted proudly, only taking Yu Shu's words as praise, and the indescribable joy in his heart was more comfortable than the slap he gave her fourth sister a few months ago.

When it was time for dinner, Yu Shu reconciled with Xia Mingming, and the two people who didn't speak in the morning were now sentence after sentence, making Yu Xiaoxiu, who was watching, confused.

Yu Xiaoxiu was very curious about how Xia Mingming asked for a letter of recommendation from Master Yi, but Xia Mingming was reluctant to talk about it, he couldn't pry her mouth open.

Yu Shu didn't ask too much, and went back to the room with Xia Mingming after dinner. As soon as he entered the house and closed the door, Xia Mingming said to Yu Shu:

"Jingchen's matter, you can do what you want, don't worry, I will never talk nonsense with others, you just don't know that he is a Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain."

She has figured it out in the past two days, compared to quarreling with Ah Shu, she would rather not care about Jingchen's affairs, anyway, Ah Shu has more ideas than her, and she won't suffer.

Hearing her say this, Yu Shu of course felt that it was no better, and with a "hmm", he changed the topic:

"I've bought the house, if you're free tomorrow, come with me to find a lumber shop and choose furniture?"

Tired and tired for several days, Xia Mingming originally planned to sleep lazily tomorrow, but when he heard Yu Shu mention it, he dispelled this idea and responded: "Okay, what do you want to buy?" ”

"There's a lot to buy."

Yu Shu took out the list he wrote in the afternoon and showed it to her, as soon as Xia Mingming heard that this house was going to be decorated from scratch, he became interested, and the two of them discussed for half a night before extinguishing the oil lamp and sleeping.

***

The next day, Yu Shu and Xia Mingming visited several timber stores, asked the price, and finally chose one and ordered a batch of furniture, including four shelves and beds, three folding screens, two desks, a dining table, a bookcase, two wardrobes, and a number of benches.

The ones bought were ready-made, and the deposit was paid, Yu Shu left the address, let the shopkeeper count and send it to Huixing Street, and looked at other things on the street with Xia Mingming before returning home.

"Come in." Yu Shu opened the door and turned sideways to let Xia Mingming in.

As soon as Xia Mingming entered the courtyard, he looked around curiously, and after seeing a few places, his face changed suddenly, and he pointed to the gossip mirror wrapped with red rope on the door of the east house, and exclaimed:

"Borrowing the sun to break the yin, this house is fierce?!"

It's no wonder that Yu Shu got carried away yesterday, forgot to destroy the corpse, and didn't take off the gossip mirror to exorcise evil spirits, and was seen by Xia Mingming, a knowledgeable person.

Since she found out, Yu Shu didn't pretend to be stupid, nodded and said: "This house was a little heavier in yin before, but I have avoided it and made up for it, and now it is feng shui stable." ”

After hearing Yu Shu's words, Xia Mingming's face did not recover, but said to Yu Shu with an annoyed expression:

"What are you doing buying a murderous house! I don't want to stay here! ”

Here it is again, this young lady's temper is not bad for a day, she is not happy, Yu Shu secretly rolled his eyes, pointed to the West House and said to her:

"What are you afraid of, the dead man's room is that room, you sleep in this room, and it's different, don't worry, the dead man is a weak scholar, and he won't hurt anyone if he really becomes a ghost, maybe he will go to the opposite door in the middle of the night and find you to recite poetry against you?"

Xia Mingming's face turned white for a while, looked at the direction of Yu Shu's fingers, trembled, hugged his arms with both hands, and quickly moved behind Yu Shu, next to her, and stammered:

"You, you don't scare me, my father said that there are no ghosts in this world at all."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt Yu Shu's body shake, suddenly "giggled" and laughed twice, slowly turned her head, her neck joints rattled, and her unfamiliar eyes stared at her gloomily, and said lightly:

"Who said there are no ghosts, miss, the scholar is so polite."

"Ahh

With a scream, Xia Ming rolled his eyes in understanding, and fainted on the ground with a "bang".

"......" Yu Shu's face stiffened, and he cursed secretly, and hurriedly squatted down to help Xia Mingming, pinching people, and crying bitterly in his heart:

The little girl didn't know how to be scared, this time the joke was too much.
