Chapter 3: The Cold

Yang didn't want to eat soft rice.

In the original idea, even if Miss Luo Jia could really take a fancy to herself, and the two parties would naturally agree to the marriage contract, she could not be willing to fall. In the future, you have to find a decent job, or learn excellent martial arts, in short, you can support yourself without relying on the help of the woman.

However, it backfired.

“......”

Yang Shifei held a string of heavy door lock keys in his hand, looking at the quiet mansion in front of him, which was not small, and felt like a dream for a while.

I just came to Dongcheng for a night, and I moved my mouth, and in a blink of an eye, I harvested a house.

This is the one in front of you.

"Childe, are you listening to me?"

The cold female voice made Yang Shifei come back to his senses suddenly, and he laughed and followed the maid who led the way in front: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect Miss Luo to really hand over this mansion to me, it's really a little... Flattered. ”

Half an hour ago, he and Miss Luo talked about a lot of topics.

Although the conversation was scattered, the atmosphere between the two sides was quite harmonious.

In the end, Miss Luo accepted the marriage letter very plainly and agreed to the marriage.

And this mansion is the 'bride price' that has been deposited.

"It's just temporary."

The pretty maid looked sideways, her face indifferent: "Although Miss has accepted your marriage letter, there is still half a year to investigate." Before that, naturally I won't live with you, and this mansion will only be left to you to settle down and live. ”

Yang Shifei cleaned up his mood and smiled: "I understand." ”

That Miss Luo was able to let herself live here, thinking that it was the first time they met, and the eyes were good, that's all.

In other words, it was this 'blind date' that passed the first step.

The pretty maid glanced at him, and continued to lead the way in front of her, while speaking to introduce.

Yang Shifei followed quietly, listened carefully all the way, and understood the intention of that Miss Luo.

This house used to be the Niu family's house, but because the family fell in the middle of the road two years ago, it had no choice but to sell it. Aunt Niu's family was desperate, so they moved back to Niujia Village and started farming again.

And Miss Luo didn't like to be lively, so she simply spent a little more money to buy this house, and it has been empty and idle until now. Now let yourself live here temporarily, which can be regarded as a response to the marriage contract.

"I'll bring a futon and a few sets of clothes tomorrow, as well as three meals a day in the future, which will be delivered regularly."

The pretty maid suddenly stopped in the lobby, the embroidered skirt swayed, and she looked back: "What taboo does the son have?" ”

"There's nothing taboo in the future, thank you girl for taking care of me."

Yang Shifei smiled and arched his hand: "I haven't asked the girl's name yet." ”

"Just call me sandalwood."

The pretty maid calmly advised: "My young lady's name is Luo Xian'er, don't forget it." ”

Yang nodded in understanding.

Although the name is a little vulgar, it does fit the eldest lady very well. Especially when handing over the Dahaus key, it can be described as a real 'fairy spirit', and the surroundings seem to be shining brightly.

"That's right."

He slapped his forehead to drive away distractions, and hurriedly said, "I don't know what the other two girls call them?" ”

“... Two of you? ”

But Sandalwood's reaction was a bit odd.

She frowned slightly, and hesitated: "There are only two maids in Luofu, and the other is named Jasmine. I don't know what Childe means by 'two'? ”

Yang Shifei was stunned.

- Something is wrong.

The puzzled application on the other party's face is not like a disguise, and there is no need to pick words with yourself on this point.

Yang Shifei recalled slightly, and there was an inexplicable chill behind him, and the heat of the house that had just been obtained instantly subsided.

"Sandalwood girl, in Luofu... Are there really only two maids? ”

"Isn't Childe Mo entertaining me?"

Sandalwood's eyes narrowed slightly, and she seemed to be a little unhappy.

But Yang Shifei quickly said with a solemn face: "Last night, I was brought into Luofu by a young maid, could it be that girl called 'Jasmine'?" ”

“......”

Sandalwood's eyes widened.

No.

Jasmine was in Miss's bed last night, just like herself, and never left.

I thought that the man in front of me didn't know the etiquette and trespassed into Luofu late at night, but it turned out that last night was...

"Girl?" Yang Shifei asked tentatively, "There seems to be some accident?" ”

Sandalwood's face calmed down: "Childe doesn't need to care, you can live here in peace." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly left the courtyard.

Yang Shifei looked at her back as she left in a hurry, doubtful in his heart, and also a little chilled.

The situation in this Luo Mansion seems to be even more strange than I imagined.

If Miss Luo and her two maids are ghosts, then is the other maid who brought her into the mansion last night a ghost or a ghost, and is she in the same group as them?

"Ghosts will stumble with each other?"

Yang was surging under the uncertain situation, so he had to pretend that everything had happened.

He is an ordinary person, and he has no confidence to meddle now. No matter how much curiosity you have, you're asking for trouble.

“... Never mind. ”

Yang Shifei patted his face that was a little stiff, ready to pack the luggage he brought, and then go out to take a look around the town.

Although the soft rice is incredible, it is impossible for him to really eat and wait for death, and he depends on women to live for a lifetime. What's more, whether the two of them can succeed or not, they haven't even skimmed the eight characters, and they have to be self-reliant and self-reliant.

Therefore, it is important to go to the town first to find a livelihood that can support yourself.

As for what kind of martial arts practice to break through the rivers and lakes, we have to put it aside for the time being.

He made a special inquiry with Miss Luo just now, and learned that the Luo family is not a martial arts family, and it is unlikely that he wants to rely on the identity of 'son-in-law' to obtain the secret book and make his debut.

Unless you can find a martial arts sect and worship it. Otherwise, even if you really have a magic book in your hand, you may not know it when you practice it to the point of going mad.

Yang Shifei sighed helplessly, and went back to the house to clean up the bed he slept in.

Carrying the sword of beauty to the end of the world, which young person has not imagined this kind of life. But now that he has really come to the world where warriors are everywhere, the empty trouser pocket is like a hammer in reality, ramming on the door of the head, as if telling himself-

What kind of sword to dance, what kind of knife to play, let's go back and look at the little rich woman.

...

The sun is setting, and the dusk is dark.

After shopping in Dongcheng for most of the day, Yang Shifei returned home thoughtfully.

Since the crossing, he has almost stayed in the remote Niujia Village to live, and his understanding of this era is still too shallow.

Now that I see it with my own eyes, I finally understand what Aunt Niu said about the 'prosperous age of martial arts'.

Along the way, the figures of men and women dressed as warriors can be seen almost everywhere, and they even happen to bump into a sudden battle. Although it is only seen from a distance, the scene of swords and swords is simply the appearance of imaginary rivers and lakes.

"Although there is a government, there is no strict control over armed fighting."

Yang Shifei thought that a group of officers and soldiers came in a hurry at that time, and they were simply detained.

And the people around them also reacted frequently, and the warriors fought each other, and even became a talking point in their mouths.

"The royal family of the Liang Kingdom is quite respectful of martial artists."

Yang Shifei casually put aside all the daily necessities he had purchased and pondered secretly.

The status of warriors in the Liang State is not low.

If you can become a martial artist, not to mention fighting swords, you can make a difference even in the government.

But almost all the sects around Dongcheng recruit apprentices under the age of fifteen, including the official yamen, and he has no drama at all. There is no way to practice martial arts that can be bought with silver taels in the streets and alleys, unless there is a nobleman to carry it, otherwise it will be completely cut off.

"It seems that I can only find a job in the Yellow Crane Tower first... The small inn on the west side is also good, the business is very good, maybe I can try it. ”

Regardless of whether he will pursue literature or martial arts in the future, Yang Shifei is ready to stabilize his work first and then think about the future.

After all, practicing martial arts requires a lot of meat to replenish physical fitness, and learning literature requires pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, which is all money. And the little money he has left is completely used up today, and there is nothing left.

Just thinking about it, he couldn't laugh or cry again.

Before and after the crossing, I was having a headache for work, and I was born to work.

"—huh."

The sudden laughter made Yang Shifei startled.

He hurriedly looked back at the house, and saw the mysterious maid from last night leaning against the door, looking at him with interest.

For a while, Yang Shifei's heart was uneasy again.

When did this woman come in?!

"You... Who is it? ”

He tensed his face and said in a low voice, "Why are you here?" ”

The mysterious maid just curled the corners of her lips, an unpredictable smile appeared on her pretty face, and she shook her shoulder-length hair, and turned to leave.

Yang Shifei's mind turned sharply, and he quickly gritted his teeth.

This woman's identity and intentions are not clear, and if she doesn't figure out the details early, she will definitely not be able to live a peaceful life here.

If you let it go now, I'm afraid you'll be leaving a hidden danger for yourself.

"Wait!"

He immediately strode forward and grabbed the other party's slender arm: "What the hell were you last night—"

Before the words fell, a chill suddenly came from the palm of his hand.

Yang Shifei's eyes widened, and he retreated violently like an electric shock, frantically shaking his hands.

But in the blink of an eye, the chill in the palm of the palm actually penetrated into the palm like a tarsal bone, quickly seeping into the flesh and bones, and even surging up along the arm!

"Damn, what the hell!"

Yang Shifei's face was distorted in pain, and he felt unimaginable soreness emerge from his right arm, like thousands of ants devouring him, and he almost collapsed to the ground with black eyes.

He almost thought that he had been killed by a female ghost, but the pain came and went away quickly. After a moment of respite, only cold sweat was left all over his body, as if the pain he had just experienced was just an illusion.

Yang Shifei gasped, shook his head in shock, and quickly stared at it, and saw that the mysterious maid who was about to turn around and leave was now standing in front of her with her hands behind her back, staring at herself quite curiously, and her face was quite close.

"You... What did you just do to me? ”

Yang Shifei took a step back by pressing his arm, and his eyes were even more jealous.

He didn't know what strange skills the female ghost had in this world, whether it was a spiritual shock, illusion, or a Gu?

When his thoughts were confused, he vaguely found that the cold qi that brought boundless soreness just now had spread to his whole body, but it brought an inexplicable sense of fullness, his exhaustion was swept away, and the whole person's spirit was unprecedentedly clear and abundant.

Yang Shifei became more and more stunned in his heart.

"I, I didn't do anything."

The mysterious maid tilted her head and showed a chilling smile: "It's you, 'bite' me." ”
