Pick up Heaven at the beginning

Chapter 13: Open Books Are Beneficial

After Tu Lao San hastily resigned, Murong Xiao hurriedly dragged Xiang to clean the courtyard.Lin Shu put a curse of real water in the depths of the courtyard.It is used for two people to fetch water. Ask how the canal is so clear, because there is flowing water from the source.After chanting the mantra of real water, a spring suddenly appeared in the courtyard, and water started gushing out. Murong Xiao lay down on the ground and took a sip, feeling very sweet. After drinking, he and Xiang went to the kitchen to pick up tools, and immediately open dry.Xiang originally wore a purple lace dress and a small sable jacket over the outside, but now it was a bit inconvenient to work, so he went into the room and changed into a snow-white silk underwear inside, wrapped in a blue-gray light flower apron outside, The cuffs of both hands are knotted, which looks smart and capable, with a unique style.

Lin Shu was sent out by the two to buy food because he had nothing to do. Well, none of the three of them knew how to cook, so they could only go out and buy. Now Lin Shu had to find a shop selling food around. Before any of the three learned how to cook, Can only eat "takeaway" first.Lin Shu went out of the house, wandering in the street looking for restaurants.As Tu Laosan said, although the environment of this house is relatively quiet, there are people living in the surrounding houses, and there are still many neighbors.It's just that the neighbors didn't seem to be very friendly to the new face of Lin Shu. They observed Lin Shu walking on the street with scrutiny, and discussed with the people next to him from time to time.

Lin Shu didn't care about what they were talking about, and was still looking for restaurants, but he didn't find one after shopping the whole street.After walking through the street where the house is located, Lin Shu walked to another adjacent street.The other street was much more lively, and even the passers-by on the road were quite friendly, and sometimes they would smile and nod to Lin Shu when they met casually.What makes Lin Shu feel strange is that the style of the surrounding houses seems to be exactly the same as the street where his new rented house is located.Lin Shu has walked almost all the streets of Dongxuanfu City in the past few days, but the houses do not have a uniform style. Only the two adjacent streets, even though they are very carefully observed, can't see any difference. Just like a pair of twins.

Lin Shu finally discovered the difference in the streets of the twins, where his house was located.This is my house on that side of the street, but there is no house on this side, but a large open space with a small earth temple on it, and there is a large stone at the entrance of the earth temple, and the stone is pressing down on it. Yellow paper, and the yellow paper was stained with the blood of an unknown animal.

Lin Shu suddenly found it very interesting, and secretly noticed that this might be a breakthrough to discover the strange secret of the house he just rented.Now that the weirdness hasn't happened yet, Lin Shu just made a note of it secretly, and didn't take the initiative to go forward to explore it.The side of the Temple of Earth happened to be a restaurant, the storefront was a bit small, and there was only one person who was busy, and after careful questioning, it turned out that this person was the owner of the restaurant.Usually there are not many people who come to eat, and he is both a waiter and a cook, but he can barely take care of it.

Seeing that Lin Shu was a new face, the boss asked Lin Shu about his background while cooking for Lin Shu. Lin Shu didn't hide anything on purpose. He told him that he had just moved to the next street, and the boss asked where the house was rented. , when Lin Shu explained the location of the house in detail, the boss suddenly changed his face and said nothing, even the hand holding the cooking spatula trembled a little.Lin Shu took the boss's reaction into consideration, and still made a silent note that he didn't ask any questions.

Soon several dishes were fried, and the boss spooned a few more bowls of rice.Take out a large piece of cloth, and pour the vegetables and rice onto the cloth, because when Lin Shu ordered the food, he said that it should be packed, and the folks usually say that packing means wrapping the food with a cloth and tying it into a cloth bag. , convenient for guests to take away.Lin Shu stopped the shop owner from packing, and wanted him to take a big lunch box out to serve, and he would wash it and return it after he finished eating.Seeing the boss's reluctance, Lin Shu expressed his willingness to pay for the lunch box, so the boss took out a large lunch box from the cabinet and cleaned it, poured the vegetables and rice separately and handed it to Lin Shu. "The meal fee plus the box is 5 silver coins." Lin Shu walked home after paying the money.I thought in my heart that I would let Xiang learn to cook, and thoroughly improve her attributes of a young woman, otherwise it would be a bit tiring to buy food every time, not to mention the high cost. "Poor Xiang Mingming couldn't eat by himself, but Lin Shu forcibly arranged for him to cook.

By the time Lin Shu returned home, the two girls had cleaned all the rooms and wiped the stone tables and chairs under the trees in the courtyard together.The big one was cleaning the taller stone table and chessboard with his head down, bent over and lifted his hips, with a graceful figure.Murong Xiao was rubbing the chair vigorously with a rag, sweating profusely from the work, but he was enjoying himself and was intoxicated by it.Cleaning the first house in her life belongs to her, no matter how tiring Murong Xiao is, she still feels very happy in her heart.

Lin Shu told the two of them to stop, they don't have to be busy anymore, they all came to eat in the house, Murong Xiao naturally followed the house immediately and started to eat, Xiang also stopped what he was doing, untied the knot on his sleeve, and took off his little shirt. Wet apron, wearing a snow-white silk skirt sitting in the room to rest.If you look into the room, you will feel that there is a family of three sitting inside, warm and sweet.Who would have thought that there is a mysterious existence, a ghost master and a ghost king inside.

Hu Lu'er, who was squatting at the door, didn't notice anything unusual about this family. After watching secretly for a long time, he finally got up and walked deep into the street, and turned into a house where a group of people were waiting for him. They were Lin Shu's neighbors.There is also a large coffin parked in the middle of the house, and the red inscriptions on the coffin are dazzling.

Hu Lu'er walked into the house and reported to Lin Shu's neighbors, "The newly moved in is a young couple. I have observed for a long time and found nothing unusual. The two strange things are that this couple looks a little strange. Too young, that girl is about ten years old, presumably she is not the couple's biological daughter, the second point is that the lady's physical strength is surprisingly good, I can see that she has been busy for a long time without a trace of sweat on her body." "That's right , They got a lot of water from nowhere, obviously the well in that house has been blocked by us!" Hu Luer suddenly remembered an abnormality and continued while reporting.

After hearing Hu Lu'er's report, the neighbors remained silent, and the house was filled with eerie silence. "Finally, a dead old man was lying on the chair in front of the coffin among the neighbors. A lifeless old man opened his eyes. The haggard old man made no doubt that the coffin in the room was prepared for him. After the old man opened his eyes , slowly said: "It seems that this couple must be hiding some unknown secret. Qiu you and Hu Lu'er continue to be responsible for keeping an eye on their family. Be careful not to reveal any clues in your actions. Others should not act rashly for now. If they don't Come to contact you, don't take the initiative to approach, let's leave it like this today, old man, I'm going to sleep. " After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes again, and if he didn't look carefully, he would definitely feel that he was dead, because his legs were stretched out and stiff.

After the old man finished speaking, a man whose face was covered and whose gender could not be seen clearly walked out of the crowd and bowed slightly to the old man, and then retreated with Hu Luer after expressing his approval.The others also left the room in batches after they left, leaving only the old man in front of the coffin still asleep.

Here Lin Shu and Murong Xiao had already finished their meal, and Murong Xiao took the initiative to take the tableware to the court to wash after eating.Xiang approached Lin Shu, and said: "We seem to be being targeted by the great existence. There is a child who squatted in front of our house and peeped for a long time. I don't know what purpose he has. Do you want me to be Yizute? He did it.) Lin Shu looked leisurely, smelling the vague fragrance on Xiang's body, he replied: "I don't need it for the time being. It seems that not only our house is weird, but the whole street seems to be hidden. It’s a secret, but there’s no rush to find out the secret, as long as they don’t come to make trouble, let’s stay put!”

"Oh!" Xiang was a little disappointed that she couldn't kill anyone, but because she was afraid of Lin Shu, she didn't dare to refute Lin Shu's decision.Lin Shu spoke again: "Xiang, you have two things to do now. One is that since you have entered the way of ghost cultivation, you should know a little about writing. You take this thousand-character text to teach Murong Xiao how to read. If you don’t know how to ask me again, try to make Murong Xiao stop raising children for half a month. Second, you can study the recipes and see if you can learn a few side dishes first.” He handed the two books to Xiang. Bought it on his way back.Xiang took the book full of resentment.It seems that a generation of ghost kings can only go on the road of no return of a good wife and loving mother.After Lin Shu gave the book to Xianghou, he realized something and added: "Don't call me a great existence anymore, just call me by my name."

"Don't dare" Xiang replied in a hurry, Lin Shu helped his forehead and said, "Then you can be called Young Master, Brother Lin or whatever. This great existence is a bit strange, and it is not conducive to our walking in the world. Xiang nodded and said that in the future They all use the son to call Lin Shu.

Xiang came to the courtyard with a thousand-character text and a cookbook. Murong Xiao had already cleaned the bowls, and took them to the kitchen to set them up. The girl seemed a little tired, walking tremblingly of.Xiang looked a little distressed and helped to set up the tableware together.After they were neatly arranged one by one, the two went back to the courtyard and sat down.

"Aunt Xiang" Murong Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Am I dreaming now? You and Uncle Lin are the characters in my dream, so they are so kind to me, an orphan and a beggar. One day I was so hungry that I went to steal buns that were fed to dogs by others. Now I can not only have enough to eat, but also have a home of my own. Sometimes I dare not close my eyes at night, for fear that when I open them, I will return to that tree again. I can only stare at the buns on the dog tray." Murong Xiao said sad words, but there was a satisfied smile on his mouth.

Xiang hugged Murong Xiao distressedly, put her head on his knees, and said, "Silly boy, everything is happening for real, even if everything is a dream, Aunt Xiang will accompany you to the In the end, we will have the longest and longest dream in the world together. You are a little tired, take a break first. Xiang lowered her hair and hung it on Murong Xiao’s face to cover her from the dazzling spring sun, so as not to let it burn in the sun. Burn the poor boy.
