This is not normal. Even in a dark place, with so much vegetation, there should be animals. There must be some who like this kind of environment, such as snakes.
Of course, this is an independent space after all, and it is possible that creatures like snakes have not been taken in before, so this place is empty.
However, Qingyan still asked Jin Yang, now that the space belongs to him, he has absolute control over it, and he should know everything about it.
"Jin Yang, look at where we are now, what's going on down there?"
Jin Yang: "There used to be a deep ditch with water in it. Later, after the change of time, the space also changed, and many shade-loving plants and trees grew there. However, there were no wild animals that liked to live there. Occasionally some birds will fly over.”
Qingyan nodded, "I see, it makes sense. There are no snakes in the space. She knew it, but she didn't know why."
"What's the reason? Because Gale is also in the form of a bird, and snakes are one of its foods."
Chou Chou said to her while carving the fire spirit stone.
She and Huang Jin had already returned to the courtyard, because they had been to other places before and there were no big changes, so they came back because they were too lazy to look around again.
While Qingyan looked at Chou Chou's careful carving, she said, "So that's it. All the snakes inside have been eaten. How do you carve it by hand this time? Didn't you use your spiritual sense before?"
Chou Chou blew the dust in the gap and said, "There is fire element in this fire spirit stone. It is difficult to grasp it with spiritual consciousness. I have to wrap it with spiritual consciousness while shaping it. It is too difficult, so I can only do it by hand." ”
Looking at the phoenix that had taken shape, Qingyan sincerely admired it: "Your hands are so skillful. The carving looks so similar. It looks like it is alive. It seems like it will flap its wings and fly away at any time."
Huang Jin also helped, "Yes, yes, I didn't expect the boss to have this skill. It's really amazing. I will also learn from the boss in the future. If I know more, I can take care of the boss's worries."
Chou Chou was so happy to be photographed that he grinned widely.
This guy is not in vain, at least he is good at talking and makes people feel happy, which is very valuable.
It took more than twenty minutes to polish the finishing touches, and then drilled another hole.
Qingyan took it and looked at it, and was a little reluctant to give it away. After wondering about it for a while, she put it into a prepared agarwood box.
This box is from the treasures they collected at the Qinian Village. It has simple and elegant patterns and some mysterious totems. You can tell at a glance that it is from thousands of years ago.
Everything is done, but we can’t mess with the details.
It was daytime outside now, and Zhao Rixin and General Chen happened to be visiting the area near Dingfeng Well again. Chou Chou took the opportunity to place things not far from them.
It was within the range of the Phoenix Shadow before, so no one would doubt it if it was placed there.
Chou Chou deliberately made some noise there. The first thing General Chen discovered, worthy of a veteran on the battlefield, was vigilance.
He sent his men to check and soon found a small hole. After returning to report, he and Zhao Rixin walked over.
That hole was made intentionally by ChouChou. It couldn't be placed on the ground. That would be too random. Others would think it was a trap.
Seeing Zhao Rixin and the others taking out the things and discovering the jade pendant inside, Chou Chou felt relieved.
As long as the other party sees the jade pendant, they will think of it as a treasure, and they will naturally think of the phantom of the phoenix.
Not only does it have the same shape as the phoenix shadow, this fire spirit stone also emits a faint red light, and even heats up when held in the hand, making it unreasonable even if it is not a treasure.
Sure enough, when Zhao Rixin and others saw the jade pendant, they thought of the phantom of the phoenix. They unanimously believed that the phantom was the birth of this treasure, and happily took it back to Beijing.
He also received praise from the emperor, who thought he was efficient in doing things, and later entrusted him with important responsibilities and made him king in advance. Of course, this is all a story later.
Back to the present, after giving the jade pendant to Zhao Rixin, Qingyan and the others stayed in the space for another two days.
I reorganized the vegetable garden, reclaimed the open space next to it, and planted food. There is a lot of spiritual energy in it, and maybe I can grow food with spiritual energy.
Of course, I still leave it to the four bears to take care of it. Because of the water spirit beads, it will rain in the space now. There is no need to water it anymore, just weeding and weeding regularly.
On the other side of Lingquan, they built a small pavilion. It was actually made of wood, but it was just shaped like an octagonal pavilion.
The Lingquan was surrounded by a circle of railings to prevent other animals from drinking directly from the spring.
They can drink from a place further downstream, where the spiritual energy is slightly lower, and this place is reserved for their own use.
They also built a pool with stones under the spring. When the pool is full, the water can flow downward, which will make it easier for them to fetch water.
Two days have passed since I finished doing this, and Yuanbao has been promoted successfully.
It's just a pity that he didn't transform, and he was still a little short of fire.
It's just that it's faster than before, and it also has a wind control skill. It can use the wind as a blade, which is also quite powerful.
After that, the group left the space again. This time they didn't need to take the four bears with them. They didn't want to go out either. They couldn't appear in front of people, which was too boring.
This time the only people who came out were Qingyan, Chou Chou, Huang Jin and Yuan Bao, so they drove two carriages.
Qingyan and Chou Chou were in a car this time, and Chou Chou directly transformed into a human form and drove the car in front.
Gold and Yuanbao share a car. Gold is still the same wretched middle-aged man as before, and Yuanbao is still an orange cat.
They continued walking south for three days and arrived at Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing.
I didn't enter a town in the middle. I was traveling during the day and found a deserted place to rest in the space at night. The journey was smooth.
When you get here, you definitely have to go in and take a look around. It is a big city after all, so it makes no sense not to go and have a look.
So the two carriages entered Yingtian Fucheng. This place was not as grand as Kaifeng Fucheng. After all, it was where the emperor was staying, but it was more prosperous.
There is less solemnity. There are shops in the inner city and outer city. There is no need to worry about bumping into the royal family and relatives. People seem to be more relaxed.
They went directly to the largest inn in the city, asked for two guest rooms, stored the carriage there, and then went shopping.
It was just noon when they entered the city, and they were going to find a restaurant for lunch.
Of course, if you want to go, go to the biggest one, and they are not short of money.
Huang Jin felt that he was so discerning. Following a good boss was equivalent to embracing a golden person!
Look at now, whether it is food, clothing, housing, transportation, or going out for shopping, it is the best that can be used.
Even if you are sleeping in the wilderness, you don’t need to be afraid of the cold, heat, thirst, or hunger. Whenever you have a chance to go to the city, you should go to the best inn and eat at the best restaurant to enjoy it. Turn people into people's lives.
It has to be said that he had no concept of money before, and all his food, clothing, housing and transportation were for nothing.
No matter in the temple or in the old Taoist temple, it is free to eat, drink and live.
Because it didn't transform, it didn't dare to get into the crowd, let alone enter the city easily. At most, it would just take a look when passing by.
That was also at night when there was no one on the road. It didn't dare to go into the city during the day. To it, it was no different from a rat crossing the street.
Although they don't scream for beating like mice, they still hide in Tibet. After all, people don't have a good impression of them.
But things have changed since I got a good boss. Not only did he succeed in seeking the title, but he also transformed directly into a human being. He could also enter and exit the space at will. It was no different from having a personal space of his own.
Every time Qingyan comes out, she will give him a bag of silver to prepare for emergencies, so that he can buy what he likes. He can eat and drink without worries, enjoy endless amounts of gold and silver, and has someone to protect him. He is truly a winner among monsters.
The restaurant here is also very large, and it is also a three-story building, similar to the layout of the capital. The lobby on the first floor, and private rooms on the second and third floors.
They were not in the lobby, but went to the private room on the second floor. If Qingyan was alone, she would usually be in the lobby.
Firstly, it was strange to enter a private room alone, and secondly, I also wanted to hear the news around me.
It won't work if there are too many people. It's easy to become the focus of others and it's inconvenient to talk. It's more comfortable in a private room.
I ordered the specialty dishes on this table and found that the dishes here are different from those in other places.
There are a lot of soup dishes, and almost every dish has soup in it, like boiled food. The taste is okay, but it's just not to Qingyan's taste.
She still prefers stir-fried dishes and those made in dry pots, which have a stronger taste. The dishes with soup are on the lighter side, and she doesn't like them that much.
I tasted each one and put down my chopsticks without eating much.
Seeing that she didn't like it very much, Chou Chou didn't persuade her to eat more. Anyway, there were plenty of things in their space, so just go in and eat when you were hungry.
Gold and Yuanbao actually like to eat it. Gold eats everything fresh, as long as it's not unpalatable.
Yuanbao is not picky about food and has a very good appetite.
The whole table of dishes was quickly eaten, and they left after paying the bill, without taking anything away for the first time.
After leaving the restaurant, we went to Fangshi. The Fangshi here is larger than the capital, accounting for more than half of the entire city. The entire three streets are full of shops, and almost all the houses facing the street are shops.
With such a good business environment, one can imagine how prosperous it is.
They strolled around the streets, checking out almost every store. If they saw something suitable, they bought whatever they were interested in. After a while, their hands were full.
They will also bargain and enjoy the fun of shopping, even though most of them are useless things.
Here, Qingyan also met the man who sold his body to bury his father for the first time.
It's just that it's not the scene on TV where a weak woman wears a white flower on her head and cries in the wind, and there's no sign written on it. Instead, it's a pair of teenage brothers and sisters, kneeling there quietly, with a corpse covered with a mat behind them.
If someone asks the young man, he will tell them what happened to them and why he sold himself to bury his father.
It's just that the crowd is just watching, no one wants to buy them, and there are no well-meaning young ladies, playboys, or brothel madams coming to rob them.
Sure enough, everything in the TV series is all fabricated. The ladies and playboys are also very busy, so how can they have so much free time to go out and wander around.
Qingyan and the others listened nearby and found out that the brother and sister's mother passed away, and the family sold their only house before buying a coffin for her to be laid to rest.
Without a house, their father took his brother and sister to do odd jobs in the city, mostly moving goods.
There are many merchants in Yingtian Mansion and there is a lot of work, so the three of them can still get by.
But something unexpected happened, and their father suddenly contracted a cold. He started to take some medicine and felt better, but he had to go to work to make money despite being sick, and his illness became serious again.
No, he just became ill and spent all the savings he had managed to save before, not to mention borrowing some foreign debts.
They all borrowed it from neighbors who lived in the courtyard, but even this didn't cure them, and they still left.
The two brothers and sisters are ten and seven years old. They are both underage children. Not to mention organizing the funeral for their father, their future life will be a problem.
If they are older, they can find work, and if they are younger, they can be adopted. It is the most embarrassing age for them to be neither too old nor too young.
The two of them discussed it and decided to sell themselves!
They are also young, have no one to teach them, and do not understand the law. It is not okay to sell themselves like this. They have to go to a dental shop to register, otherwise no one will dare to buy it, which is illegal.
So they knelt here for a long time. They were just watching the excitement and no one bought them. Of course, no one reminded them of this.
Those who know this are very busy and will not take time to watch the fun. Most of the people watching the fun are idle people, and they may not know this.
Qingyan didn't know. She had studied and remembered the general trend of history, but she really didn't know the small details. Of course, she was also misled by the TV series.
Knowing the ins and outs, seeing that the brother and sister were already on the verge of collapse, and no one had any intention of helping, Qingyan couldn't help but look at Chou Chou.
Chou Chou sighed and winked at Jin.
Huang Jin walked forward with straight steps. When everyone saw someone coming out, they all moved out of the way.
However, after seeing its wretched appearance, they all looked at the brother and sister with unbearable expressions, as if they were about to fall into a pit of fire.
Huang Jin ignored everyone's looks and walked up to his brother and sister and said: "Looking at how pitiful you two are, I will do a good deed that day and don't need you to sell your bodies. Hey, this is five taels of silver. It is enough to buy a coffin for the funeral." .
Can you find someone to help bury your father? If I can, I will give you the money. If not, I will help you find someone. "
The two brothers and sisters didn't expect that this man didn't look like a good person, but he was so kind. This was the first person who was willing to help them today.
The two kowtowed with gratitude and said that if someone could help, their neighbors who lived together could help with the burial.
The five taels of silver were not only enough for the funeral, but also enough to pay back the money I borrowed before.
Gold didn't just give the money and leave it alone. He was afraid that someone would snatch the money from the two children on their way back to find someone, so he just had to follow them to the end.
They didn't leave until the neighbors from the courtyard came to help.
