But if you use plastic sheeting, you have to cover it up. If you meet someone, the wooden house is not like a carriage and you can leave directly. If someone doesn't have any ill intentions and wants to go in, it will be a bit difficult to refuse.
So it is better to get a curtain to cover it. Fur or straw curtains can be used outside, and floral cloth is used inside the house, so that it is not easy to see from both sides.
It was almost noon when Qingyan returned to the yard after shopping. There was still a stove in the east side room, but the pot had been taken away. As long as the pot was put on, it could continue to be used.
She tried it, and the medium-sized pot she bought before was just right. There were two openings on the stove, and the smaller hole inside was just right for another small pot. This way, one burner could be used to boil water and stir-fry vegetables.
There is no need to cook the staple food, you can continue to eat the sesame cakes you bought before.
Fill the big pot with water and take advantage of the high temperature in the afternoon. She wants to take a bath. There will be a stove in the kitchen room and a charcoal basin. The bathtub she bought before can be used just right.
She hadn't washed her hair in the past few days, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Put the firewood chopped from the cupboard into the stove and light it. The firewood can burn for a while, and you can wash and cut vegetables during this time.
Ask Chou Chou to take out a piece of mutton and a radish, cut them into mahjong-sized pieces. First, blanch the mutton in a small pot, drain out the water, then add oil and stir-fry, then add seasonings and water and simmer for a while. Then put the radish in and stew together.
During this period, the water in the big pot boiled. Qingyan scooped the water into the wooden bucket and let Chou Chou put it into the space to keep warm. Then she added another pot of water to the pot.
When the mutton stewed with radish is ready, the second pot of water will be boiling.
I still put the water into the wooden bucket and put it into the space. I added two more ladles to the pot and let it warm for a while to wash the dishes.
Chou Chou asked Chou Chou to take out the tables, chairs and benches, and then everyone and the beast had lunch in the kitchen. The remaining dishes were stored in the space to keep them fresh, and they could continue to eat in the evening.
I learned this method from Yin Keqin’s mother. It’s a more homely method, fresh, fragrant and quite delicious.
After eating and digesting for a while, Qingyan began to prepare for a bath. Chou Chou took out the bathtub, hot water, soap, shampoo, shower gel, and a change of clothes.
Leaving Chou Chou to guard outside, Qingyan took a quick bath. Because the water was boiled, it was more comfortable than taking a bath in an inn.
After taking a shower, I washed the clothes I changed into with water before opening the door and going out.
After looking at the two jujube trees in the yard, Qingyan asked Chou Chou to take out a hemp rope and tie it between them, and hang the clothes on the hemp rope to dry.
The sun was quite bright today, and there was a rare lack of wind, otherwise she wouldn't have hung her clothes out to dry. If the wind was strong, there would be too much sand and dust, and the clothes would be washed in vain.
To dump the water, just dump it in a corner of the yard. There is a drainage hole under the wall there, and it will flow directly outside.
There is a ditch between the outside of the courtyard wall and the city wall, and the water flows into it.
After tidying up my hair and almost drying it, I lit a fire in the kang hole outside and went inside to take a nap.
I don’t know if it’s because I own this house, so I slept very soundly during this nap and didn’t wake up until it was almost dark.
She woke up from hunger and ate one sesame pancake at noon. She didn't eat much food. She didn't know what happened. Every time she cooked by herself, she couldn't eat much. She felt like she was intoxicated by the smell of cooking. full.
Get up, shake Chou Chou who is still sleeping next to you, and let him take out the oil lamp and light it.
It turned out that the light from the oil lamp was too weak. Even with the slightest amount of light, I couldn't see clearly inside the room.
I don’t know if she did something wrong. This oil lamp was new, so she put some lamp oil, put the wick into the lamp oil, and deliberately left it outside for a little longer, thinking that the fire would be bigger, but it burned out all at once. , the light is smaller.
In particular, the roof and walls of this house are dark and absorb light. Unlike the houses in later generations, which are all white and reflect light, they are darker.
Let Chou Chou take out the small lantern made of spiritual stone and carry it directly to the kitchen to eat.
Of course, they could also eat in the house, but there was no table in the house and the dishes and chopsticks were all in the kitchen. She was too lazy to bother and just ate in the kitchen.
After finishing the meal, I washed the dishes and chopsticks directly there. Because there was no cabinet, the dishes and chopsticks were placed in the wooden basin.
I brushed my teeth in the kitchen and added some firewood to the kang hole before returning to the room.
Because they had slept all afternoon, they were not sleepy at all now, so they just started chatting.
While chatting, Qingyan asked Chou Chou how to use spiritual consciousness to collect things.
Speaking of which, although she was already able to retract and release her spiritual consciousness skillfully, she was even more envious of Chou Chou using her spiritual consciousness to collect things.
She thought that Chou Chou should be more experienced in using spiritual consciousness than she was, so he was able to do it.
Because I had been staying at someone else's house before, and then I was busy going to the mountains to get the things Yin Jin had hidden, so I never asked.
Now that they are free, it's just the two of them, so they can just communicate.
Maybe it would be okay if she practiced more.
When Chou Chou heard that she wanted to use her spiritual consciousness to collect things, she shook her head and said: "You can't do this. The reason why I can collect things is not because of my spiritual consciousness, but because I have space. I use it when collecting things." It is the power of space.
If there is no space, my consciousness can only detect the news in the distance.
Just like your parents, they already have spiritual consciousness, and they can enter and exit the fragrant space at will according to their own wishes. It's not like they can't use spiritual consciousness to put things in. To put things into a space, you can only put your hands into it. "
Qingyan let out a disappointed sigh. She had spiritual consciousness and thought she could move things through the air just like Chou Chou, but it turned out that she couldn't.
Hey... Just like Chou Chou said, Mom, Dad and Xiang Xiang can't use its space casually, let alone myself.
"By the way, what's going on with the money now? Hasn't it absorbed the essence and blood yet? It's been several days. Is it okay if I don't eat or drink?"
Chou Chou shook his head, "It's okay, I'll take a look at it from time to time. Not only is it fine now, but its body is also a bit bigger than before, and its body shape has also undergone some changes. It's probably only in the past two days.
We should not disturb it now, lest it encounter any problems along the way. No one else can help in this process, so it can only rely on itself. "
Although she said this, Qingyan was still a little worried. After all, Rich was still a little baby. She was only two months old, so she didn't know if she could handle it.
In the past, I saw on TV that people took elixirs to cleanse their essence and cut their marrow, but they were all extremely painful. Not all monks could bear the pain, and some failed. I don’t know if this little leopard can do it. .
A man and a beast were talking when they heard some movement next door. The two stopped talking at the same time and looked at each other.
What's going on?
Except for the one they bought, the other two yards here are empty. Even if the homeowner's cousin comes over, he most likely won't come at this time.
Even if someone came to see the room, they wouldn't be able to come over at night, and they wouldn't be able to see clearly.
And the sound is wrong. If someone comes to see the house, there should be the sound of the door opening next door.
But they didn't hear the door open at all, which meant that the person over there definitely didn't enter through the door.
Qingyan and Chou Chou looked over at the same time and saw two sneaky men over there, running from the other side of the next yard to the foot of the wall connecting them.
They were two middle-aged men in their thirties, neither of them very tall. One had a square face and flat facial features. They had a very featureless appearance that would be hard to spot in a crowd.
The other one has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a bit of a hunchback. He has a very unpopular appearance that can make people disgusted at a glance.
The two of them didn't speak, and just made sneaky gestures under the wall next to them.
After a while, the flat-faced man bent over and lay there, the sharp-billed monkey cheek stepped on his back, and stuck his head out to look this way.
When Qingyan saw his movements, she quickly stuffed the spirit stone lantern into the quilt.
Because it was cold, she and Chou Chou sat on the kang and chatted, with the lantern at hand.
The light in the room dimmed instantly, but it did not completely fall into darkness, because the oil lamp was still burning and had not been blown out.
When they went to the kitchen to eat, they took the spiritual stone lantern with them, and deliberately left an oil lamp here. She felt that the light in the room made it feel more like home.
But now I feel it's a bit redundant. I wanted to see what these two guys wanted to do, but now that the lights are on in the room, I don't know if those two dare to come.
The sharp-nosed monkey shrank back, climbed down gently, and lowered his voice to the flat face and said, "I'm not asleep yet."
"Then we have to wait a little longer. Why don't we go back first and come back in the middle of the night? I will definitely be asleep by then."
Flat Face stood up and gently patted the dirt on his knees.
The sharp-mouthed monkey cheek touched his bare chin, and said in a gloomy voice: "Actually, it's not that troublesome, isn't it just a little girl? She is only a teenager, and there is only one person. What should we two men be afraid of?
I might as well just rush in and ask her to hand over all her belongings. If she doesn't obey, I'll show her off. Maybe I can still make a wife by the way. "
The flat-faced man shook his head vigorously, "No, we are just doing some petty theft. We have never done anything like robbery or robbery. What if the other party resists and refuses to obey and it makes a big fuss? Our county magistrate has always been upright. If we are caught, it will be a dead end for both of us."
"I didn't expect you to be so timid. What's the difference whether it's stealing or robbing? I've been a bachelor for thirty years. It's not easy to find a wife who is good-looking and has a good family. It would be more difficult if I didn't take action at this time. when?
If you're afraid, just leave. I can handle this on my own, and then you won't get any of the benefits. "
Flat-faced thought for a while and agreed, but still told him: "I only want money, I won't participate in anything else. If you really end up causing trouble, you are responsible for it, don't involve me."
The sharp-mouthed monkey-cheek waved his hands impatiently, "I know, I know, look at your guts, you have really become my wife, and I don't have the final say in everything.
When the time comes, let's blindfold her first and finish searching her belongings first. Each of us will have half, and you can take what's yours, and I'll take care of the rest. "
The two of them reached an agreement and resumed their previous postures. The flat-faced man bent over and stepped on his back with the sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks to reach the wall. Then he stretched out his hand to pull the flat-faced man up, and the two of them jumped off the wall again.
The movements were quite light. If it weren't for Qingyan's hearing that was different from ordinary people, they wouldn't have been able to hear the sound of them landing. It seemed like they had some hard work on them.
Qingyan didn't wait for them to come in, she got off the kang, put on her shoes and walked out.
She didn't want the house to be soiled by these two smelly men. Although there was nothing in the house, she still had to sleep in this room, and she felt uncomfortable.
As the main room door creaked open, the two people who were about to push the door were startled.
They didn't hear the footsteps inside, and they were startled when the door suddenly opened.
They had a guilty conscience, and it was late at night. If they hadn't been experienced, they might have screamed out in fright.
Qingyan looked at the two of them coldly and said in a calm tone: "You two broke into someone else's house in the middle of the night, are you acting like thieves?"
Hearing Qingyan's voice, the two of them came back to their senses, and the sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked man said with a lewd smile: "Young lady, are you asking questions knowingly? We are here as thieves, not just thieves but also flower pickers...hehehehe...
My brother happens to be short of a wife, so he will take out all his money and use it as your dowry.
Don't even think about resisting. If you are good, I can marry you back as my wife. Otherwise, I will send you to the prostitute where you were sold every day..."
When Qingyan heard this, her eyes narrowed. Before he could finish speaking, she stepped forward and kicked him!
The sharp-nosed monkey cheek was kicked out directly, from the door of the hall to the courtyard wall, and fell heavily to the ground with a "Bang!" and became silent.
Flat Face was so frightened that he took a few steps back and knelt on the ground. Seeing the cruelty of this little girl with his own eyes, his legs immediately became weak.
Qingyan looked at him, "Do you think the same as him?"
The flat face shook his head quickly with fear, "No, no, no, girl, I, I, I... I am just a little thief, I don't dare to think anything wrong! I beg the heroine to spare my life, I don't dare to do it anymore, I will definitely change my ways and be a new person in the future, please let me go..."
After saying that, he banged his head on the ground and kowtowed.
Qingyan also knew that this person didn't have the courage, but she still had to teach him a lesson.
He stepped forward and kicked off his left hand. Seeing that the other party didn't even dare to cry out, he was holding on to his left hand with a cold sweat on his face.
She wasn't going to take this man's life, just give him a lesson and scare him, "Go away, and take your accomplices away with you. Don't let me see you again. If I see you again, he will be yours." End."
After hearing that Qingyan had let him go, she endured the severe pain in her left hand and kowtowed again in gratitude.
Qingyan snorted impatiently, her flat face immediately fell silent, and she rolled and crawled to the pointy-mouthed monkey, dragging him towards the courtyard gate with her good right hand.
There was no way, he was injured now, and he was dragging a person who didn't care about life and death, so he couldn't climb over the wall at all.
Qingyan didn't embarrass him and opened the courtyard door for him to go out.
