At night, Song Qing, who has successfully delivered the prisoner to reincarnation, is ready to go downstairs to find food and clothing with dark circles under her eyes.

As he walked, he thought: "no, grafting can be used in human body, for example, damaged organs can be replaced.

"Well, can you be more subtle? For example, the rebirth of severed limbs... Well, this is the unique ability of sanpinwufu. If I can find out the mystery in alchemy, the world will be shaken.

"Xu Ningyan said that bio alchemy should be more subtle... But people's naked eyes can't see those tiny dust things... With it, I can make things like telescopes."

Telescopes exist. After the discovery of glass, concave convex mirrors were developed soon. Telescopes are very popular in the military, usually for ordinary soldiers.

Elite scouts are rarely used, because after practicing Qi, Wufu's eyesight will be greatly improved. The stronger the strength, the stronger the five senses. The telescope is a bit of a chicken.

"Where's the smell?" Song Qing sniffed.

He followed the fragrance and went to the kitchen downstairs. He saw Chu Caiwei calling some white clothes and cooking something in the pot.

"Yo, there's chicken soup. Younger martial sister Caiwei has a heart." Song Qing was in a good mood when she saw the chicken stewed in a small stove.

"Go, go." Chu Caiwei spat at him: "this is the alchemy that Xu Qi'an taught me. If it is successful, it can make the whole world delicious."

Listening to Chu Caiwei finish the principle of chicken essence and monosodium glutamate, Song Qing pondered and sighed: "Xu Ningyan is really a strange person."

Yes, it's also alchemy.

extracts the essence from the medicinal materials, forms the Dan medicine, purify the iron and steel from the ore, make the weapon, and in the front, extracts the delicious flavor from letinous edodes to make the monosodium glutamate.

It is consistent with what he learned at the beginning of the lecture that day.

Alchemy contains many fields, the meaning is to extract the invisible things.

"I don't know what he said about monosodium glutamate, because he didn't provide the process, but simply said that it was extracted from grains." Chu Caiwei said.

"Elder martial brother will help you." Song Qing touched Chu Caiwei's head.

...

the renovation of the new house was completed two days ahead of schedule. Xu Qi'an asked the Yamen for leave to help the second uncle and aunt move together.

Dressed in a dark blue suit and coat of the same color, the aunt pinches her waist in one hand and waves her handkerchief in the other. She looks like a general who leads the soldiers to carry things.

This kind of posture, if changed for a woman of mediocre beauty, would appear to be full of market spirit, which is not pleasant.

Can be replaced by 36 years old, maintenance like a young woman in her early 30s, beautiful face delicate, plump graceful aunt, is a beautiful scenery.

Xu Qian thought about whether the beautiful girl with three-dimensional facial features around her would be as charming as her mother in another 20 years.

Or better.

Ah, Lingyue is old enough to marry. I don't know which guy is lucky enough to marry such a beautiful girl... Xu Qi'an sighs that the girl is not in favor of staying, and he and his second uncle act as porters.

Because we hired enough carriages, it took only two trips to carry the family's things. Some fragmentary things, my aunt intends to buy in the inner city, just take this opportunity to replace.

Aunt and uncle are elders, although Xu Qi'an bought the house. The main house in the East is reserved for two people.

When distributing the room, Xu Lingyue, who is always gentle, has a rare quarrel with her aunt.

The Sanjin house is very big, but the inner courtyard in the core is actually limited. Of course, the master will not live in the guest rooms and the areas for the servants.

According to the aunt's meaning, the West Wing room is Xu Qi'an's, after all, he will marry his daughter-in-law in the future.

But Xu Lingyue has the cheek to live in the past and live next to her elder brother.

Aunt said, you are a big girl and brother live so close, I do not know shame.

Xu Lingyue suddenly worried, argued loudly, and quarreled with her mother.

Finally, she also lives in the west chamber, but her aunt arranges Erlang's room in the west chamber, and discusses with Xu Qian that when he has a daughter-in-law, she will let Lingyue and Erlang live in the North chamber.

Xu Qi'an is a little reluctant, because if he lives too close, his sister will find out that he doesn't go home in Jiaofang. We'll have to complain then.

Xu Lingyin is arranged in his uncle's and aunt's room. The children know the bed and the environment better. The aunt is afraid that the young girl can't sleep well at night and has nightmares.

Anyway, the East Wing room is very big. It's a three row room.

Xu Qi'an quickly decorated his room. His original courtyard was almost without decoration, and there were few things to decorate.

He went out of the room to bask in the sun and saw Xu Lingyin squatting by the well alone. His scared little face turned white, but he tried his best not to let himself escape.

"What are you doing?" Xu Qian asked.

"Elder brother..." seeing the elder brother with high ability coming over, Xu Lingyin was relieved and pointed to the wellhead in fear: "it's haunted here.""So, what are you doing squatting at the mouth of the well?" Xu Qian is a little hard to understand.

Since know haunted, should not be afraid of hiding far away? Why squat on the edge of the well head and insist on being afraid at the same time.

"My sister said that ghosts eat children." Xu Lingyin frowned.

"And then?"

She suddenly sneaked up, trotted over, whispered: "I'm cheating it out, Shh... Don't let it hear."

“???”

Xu Qi'an looked at her blankly for a long time and gave her a thumbs up: "those who know food are heroes."

Everyone has an ideal. Xu Lingyin found her ideal when she was young: there is nothing in the world that I can't eat, only I want to eat.

In order to eat, you can use yourself as bait... This determination and perseverance, in a sense, is a genius.

"Then you continue to work hard. When you get rid of the ghost, brother will make delicious food for you." Xu Qi'an touched her head.

"Well!" Xu Lingyin pecked her brain with fear and longing.

Before dusk, I ordered a box in a restaurant not far from the new house. The family was extremely satisfied with eating out. Although the taste was not as good as that of guiyuelou, it was cheaper and closer. They could often go out in the future.

Xu Qi'an was lying in a spacious and comfortable new house, looking at the beam above his head, and suddenly remembered something.

Didn't you write to Erlang about the move?

"Forget it. I don't have to worry about it. I'll sleep."

...

East house.

My aunt coaxed Xu Lingyin to sleep. She went back to the bed and looked at her husband, who was sitting around and thinking about it. Suddenly, she was worried:

"master, will Ning Yan fight with me for the power of housekeeper after he marries his daughter-in-law? Will we move to Westinghouse?

"I heard that my daughter-in-law is very vicious. I always think of ways to fight my mother-in-law."

My aunt was happy. When she married her second uncle, the two senior members of the Xu family had already died. She had never been bullied by a bad mother-in-law.

But I've never eaten pork. I've always seen pigs run. In particular, this house was bought by Xu Qi'an, and her "mother-in-law" name is not right.

Xu Pingzhi opened his eyes and thought, "with your temper and character, you can't fight others."

"Hum!" Aunt speechless, then Jiao hum.

Xu Pingzhi comforted: "maybe Ningyan will marry a stupid daughter-in-law in the future."

Aunt a listen, reasonable, secretly pray nephew will marry a stupid daughter-in-law. So she can bully people.

"By the way, I haven't written to Erlang yet. We moved to a new house. He didn't know about it. He went back to the outer city and couldn't find us." Aunts care for their sons.

"Don't worry about it. You don't know a few big words." Xu Pingzhi, who is also illiterate, said: "Ning Yan will write."

...

after two days, Xu Qi'an's life is very peaceful. He patrols the streets every day, practices and takes time to go to Haoqi building to exchange feelings with Wei Yuan.

Because of the downfall of the Secretary of the Ministry of industry, the fighting among the parties has cooled down a lot. For the time being, no party is targeting the watchmen.

That night, Xu Qian went home and found that his second uncle was not there.

"Night patrol today." Answered the aunt.

may also make complaints about the teaching workshop.

The second uncle is a member of the Imperial Guard. Sometimes he patrols the streets in the daytime and sometimes at night. His working mechanism is the same as that of a watchman. If Xu Qi'an is involved in so many cases in a row, it is also the work of Bai Jiahei to wait for him.

used to believe in Uncle Xu Qian as well as his aunt, but Xu had understood since the "encounter" in the teaching workshop and the operation of orange peel to remove perfume.

A man's mouth, a liar.

I don't seem to be able to make complaints about my uncle.

At night, Xu Qi'an was suddenly awakened by a scream. He opened his eyes, turned over and sat up. At the same time, he reached out and grasped the black gold sword by the bed.

When she came to the yard, she saw Lingyue's servant girl sitting on the ground, and the candlestick fell to the ground. Her face turned pale, and she pointed to the direction of the wellhead, shivering and speechless.

"What do you see?" Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice.

The door behind opened, and Xu Lingyue came out to check the situation.

On the other side of the east room, the candle light in my aunt's room lit up, and she went out with lu'e following the sound.

"What's the matter?" My aunt frowned.

After many people got up, the servant girl's fear weakened a lot. She pointed to the wellhead and said in a trembling voice: "well, there is a head in the well."

A few screams came out together.

Xu Lingyue looks pale and shrinks behind Xu Qian, grabbing his sleeve tightly. My aunt leaned over in fear.

"You, you don't mean..." the aunt opened her eyes and was terrified.

She didn't say "the ghost has been dispelled", which can't be known by the servants in the house.There's a head in the well? Auntie Xu and auntie Hei clenched her hands and pressed elder sister Jin An.

The evil spirits in the well are really eliminated. The well used to raise ghosts in the thief's den is also purified. It is said that there is no such thing as evil spirits.

Is it... Xu Qi'an strode over to the back of the well and saw xiaodouding sitting by the well with sleepy eyes.

"It's a big pot..."

when Xu Qian wakes up with a scabbard, xiaodouding rubs his eyes and mumbles.

"Why are you here?" Xu Qi said with ease that it was so.

"I'm hungry. I'm out looking for food." Xiaodouding looked at the mouth of the well, a face convinced: "it can really hide, children do not come out of the door."

Xu Qi'an estimates that the head that the servant girl sees is Xu Lingyin lying on the well head and looking around. He has a rare feeling of suffocation that he can't spit out.

"Big brother asked the kitchen to bring you cakes." Xu Qi'an picked her up and walked back.

"Ring tone?" The aunt was surprised, and then she frowned, "you dead child, you sneak out in the middle of the night to frighten me..."

then she found out that Lingyin was not in the room.

Xu Qian didn't interrupt his aunt's roar angrily: "she's just hungry."

Although she had three bowls of dinner, she was hungry.

My aunt is not strong enough now. She snorts, pinches her waist, stares at kazilan's big eyes and cuts her little girl.

Xu Qian comforted his sister, aunt and several servant girls, coaxed them to sleep, and went to the kitchen to get some cakes to feed Xu Lingyin.

Xiaodouding doesn't need to be coaxed. Eating it, you fall asleep.

Xu Qian gave her back to lu'e and went back to her room to sleep. Hazy, she heard someone knocking at the door.

"Big brother..." Xu Lingyue's clear and sweet girl voice came from the door.

"What's the matter?" Xu Qi'an didn't open the door. In the middle of the night, the elder brother couldn't open the door for his younger sister, so he didn't accept the ceremony.

"I, I can't sleep. I'm afraid..." Xu Lingyue pauses and adds: "my mother can't sleep either. Just now, when lu'e asked, my mother told me about the haunted house. Then they were afraid, too.

"My father is not at home, so they dare not sleep."

It's none of my business that they dare not sleep. Why do you sit down and play mahjong all night? Xu Qi'an recalled how he had used Mai Dong at the beginning. He felt the same way and said patiently:

"don't be afraid, there is no ghost in the house."

Xu Lingyue didn't reply, hesitated for a few seconds, "can big brother accompany us?"
