"What's wrong, Brother Li? Is there a problem with this location? ”

"Here, this is the cemetery of Lan Qingcheng."

"Cemetery?" Qiao Linxi wondered, if it was a cemetery, how could the old man give her a key? And the system also said that this is the key to the three courtyards.

"Could it be wrong?"

"I'm from Lanqingcheng, how could I be wrong? This is what the old man gave you, right? I advise you not to take it seriously, I don't know where the key is. ”

Although Li Guancha said so, Qiao Linxi really wanted to take a look, didn't the system say it, this old man is pretending to be crazy and stupid, maybe there is some mystery in this.

"That's the same," Qiao Linxi looked at the sky and asked Li Guancha: "Where is the courtyard you said, Brother Li, it's not far away?" ”

Qiao Linxi planned to go to the courtyard that Li Guancha said first, and stayed down first, making plans.

"It's not far, it's behind the main street, it's a little remote, but there are residents all around, and it's not deserted."

Soon arrived at the farm house that Li Guancha said, he stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the door was opened by an old woman with white hair, looking at Dan with a kind face.

"Li Tou'er? Can I help you? ”

The old woman's back was bent, her eyes were beginning to dazzle, and she could only see a vague figure.

"Grandma, I have a group of children here, I just came to Lanqingcheng and wanted to find a place to stay, so I thought of you. Do you see that it is convenient? ”

"Kids?" The old woman stretched out her head and looked behind Li Guancha: "That's a good dare, my old couple lives in this courtyard and is lonely." It's also more lively when there are children. ”

Qiao Linxi stepped forward: "Grandma, how much rent do you give you if you see we live for a month?" ”

"What kind of money do you want? This courtyard has always been only our old couple's mouth, it's very cold, you came to be a companion for us. It's just that I'm too old to cook for you. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, we can do it ourselves."

In this way, Qiao Linxi and they all lived in this courtyard, although it was just an ordinary courtyard, it was really big, and their nineteen children were not too crowded to stand in the courtyard.

Qiao Linxi took out some copper plates from his arms and handed them to Li Guancha: "Brother Li, thank you so much today." If it weren't for you, we would have been blinded when we entered the city, and we might not have been able to find a place to eat until now. ”

"That's polite, girl, it's all my way to do. Settle down first, and find me something. ”

After Li Guancha left, the old woman took the children to see the room, this courtyard is not only spacious, but also very chic. There is a pond in the center of the yard, and a rockery is made in the pond.

At this time, it is the season of lotus flowers, and the pond is full of pink lotus flowers, and the lotus flowers are swaying in the wind, like a graceful girl.

Downstream of the green lotus leaves is a goldfish with a red body, and in this situation where drinking water is a problem, this old woman can still raise goldfish, which is really puzzling.

"My pond has never dried up, and I'm also a little puzzled, this fish and flowers are all very well raised." The old woman probably saw Qiao Linxi staring at the pond all the time, so she explained.

"It's really beautiful, it's a painting." Qiao Linxi praised that the beauty of this kind of yard could not be built by any amount of money in later generations.

After looking at the courtyard and then the room, the old woman went back to her house.

This yard is not only spacious, but also very clean, and there is no musty smell that has not been lived in for a long time, which may be the reason why the old woman often cleans it and puts green plants in it.

Finally settled down, Qiao Linxi's heart was steady. She watched the children leave the best and biggest room for her, and she was very moved.

It's just that moved is moved, Qiao Linxi still has to arrange work for the children, these dozen or so people eat every day, this is a big deal, and it can't be perfunctory like before.

"From now on, we have settled down, although we are all children, we also have to have a clear division of labor, every day the yard cleaning, cooking, these must be done by someone. And if you are good at it, say it, and I'll see if I can use your expertise to earn some silver. ”

What disappointed Qiao Linxi was that although these children were sensible, they were all peasant children, and they had any specialties. The big thing of the croppers is to make the crops well, how can they have the mind to let the children learn a skill.

Although they don't know anything, Qiao Linxi still has to find a way to survive, and she doesn't want to rely only on the steamed buns given by the system.

It is said that people's hearts are not enough, and Qiao Linxi will never want to eat steamed buns again after settling down. She was also a senior white-collar worker in her previous life, and her life was also very exquisite. The hardships she has endured in the past few days when she came here may be as much as the hardships she has endured in her previous life for more than 30 years.

After helping the children allocate the rooms, Qiao Linxi went out alone, not to the location on the map given to her by the old man, but to go out to the market to see if she could buy some meat and noodles or something. She still has a little rice in her system, but it's not enough to eat. She's going to have to figure it out.

It's late in the evening, and many stall owners of popular products are starting to close their stalls and get ready to go home.

Qiao Linxi saw that there was only a little bit of pork belly and big bones on the meat stall, so he bought them all. I went to the rice grain store to buy noodles. I bought condiments like salt at the spice shop, and then I carried my things back to the yard.

Qiao Linxi didn't pay attention when he first came, but only then did he see that this small courtyard was called Zhucui Garden, and there were many bamboos planted at the door.

"Kids, come and help."

There are several large bones, and with flour, it is still a bit heavy.

"Wow, there's meat." Several children were playing in the yard, and when they saw Qiao Linxi coming back, they put down the wooden sticks in their hands and walked towards Qiao Linxi.

"Sister, the kitchen is here." Qiao Linqi carried the pork belly and walked to the west with Qiao Linxi.

I don't know if it's because of the evening, Qiao Linxi always feels like this courtyard is shrouded in something. When I entered the yard, I felt an inexplicable feeling of suffocation, as if I had walked into a bottle.

If there is a problem with this courtyard, then how can Li Guancha bring them here, unless that Li Guancha is also a problem.

Seeing that everything was normal and the children were all normal, Qiao Linxi shook his head, feeling that he was thinking too much. Even the system doesn't say there's something wrong with this yard.

When he arrived at the kitchen, Qiao Linbao volunteered to chop wood, Qiao Linshan lit a fire, and Qiao Linqin went to wash the meat.

In the yard, there was a big tank behind the rockery, and Qiao Linqin went there to wash the meat, but Qiao Linxi was surprised to find that the water in the big tank would not be less, and after Qiao Linqin played it, it didn't take long for it to be full.

It's amazing, this is the kind of well that will produce its own water in later generations, and it is said that this kind of well will produce water because there is an underground river underneath. But if there really is an underground river, how can this place be so arid?

Qiao Linxi tilted her head to watch Qiao Linqin wash meat, and her brain was also thinking about this problem, so she didn't notice that the window of the main building was opened a crack, and there was a pair of strange eyes staring at her.
