Chapter 3 Cold
  Yang Shifei didn't want to eat soft rice.

In the original idea, even if the Miss Luo family really fell in love with him and the two parties agreed to the engagement naturally, he would not be willing to fall for it. In the future, he will have to find a decent job, or learn superior martial arts. In short, he will be able to support himself without relying on the woman's support.

However, things backfired.

"."

Yang Shifei held a bunch of heavy door lock keys in his hand and looked at the large and quiet house in front of him, feeling like he was falling into a dream for a moment.

I had just arrived in Dongcheng and spent one night, so I started talking, and in the blink of an eye I had acquired a house.

This is the one in front of you.

"Sir, are you listening to me?"

The cold female voice made Yang Shifei suddenly come back to his senses. He smiled and followed the maid who was leading the way: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect Miss Luo to really hand over this house to me. I'm really flattered."

Half an hour ago, he and Miss Luo talked about many topics.

Although the conversation was sporadic, the atmosphere between the two parties was quite harmonious.

In the end, Miss Luo accepted the marriage certificate very calmly and agreed to the marriage.

And this mansion is the ‘bride price’ that was deposited here.

"This is just a temporary stay."

The pretty maid looked sideways with an indifferent expression: "Although Miss has accepted your marriage certificate, there is still an inspection period of half a year. Before that, naturally I will not live with you, and this house will only be given to you. Life."

Yang Shifei calmed down and smiled: "I understand."

That Miss Luo allowed me to stay here. It must have been a good match when we met for the first time, that's all.

In other words, this ‘blind date’ has passed the first step.

The pretty maid glanced at him and continued to lead the way while introducing him.

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

This house used to be the residence of the Niu family, but due to the family's financial difficulties two years ago, it had no choice but to be sold. Aunt Niu and her family were desperate, so they moved back to Niujia Village and started farming again.

And Miss Luo didn't like liveliness, so she simply spent a little more money to buy this house, and it has been vacant ever since. Now allowing myself to live here temporarily is also a response to the promise of the marriage contract.

"I will bring bedding and a few sets of clothes tomorrow, as well as three meals a day, and they will be delivered on time."

The pretty maid suddenly stopped in the lobby, her embroidered skirt swaying, her hair combed back and she looked back: "Young master, what are your taboos?"

"I don't have any taboos. Thank you for taking care of me, girl."

Yang Shifei smiled and cupped his hands: "I haven't asked the girl her name yet."

"Just call me Sandalwood."

The pretty maid calmly warned: "My young lady's name is Luo Xian'er. Don't forget it, young master."

Yang Shifei nodded understandingly.

Although this name is a bit vulgar, it really suits the young lady. Especially when I handed over the key to the big house, I felt truly "fairy", and everything around me seemed to be shining with light.

"correct."

He slapped his forehead to drive away the distracting thoughts and said quickly: "I wonder what we call the other two girls?"

".Two of you?"

But Sandalwood's reaction was a bit strange.

She frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "There are only two maids in the Luo Mansion, and the other one is named Jasmine. I wonder what the 'two' you mean by the young master?"

Yang Shifei was stunned.

——Something is wrong.

The confused look on the other person's face didn't look like he was pretending, and there was no need to argue with him on this point.

Yang Shifei recalled briefly, and there was an inexplicable chill behind him, and the excitement of just getting the house subsided instantly.

"Miss Sandalwood, are there really only two maids in Luo Mansion?"

"Could the young master be amusing me?"

Sandalwood narrowed her cold eyes slightly, seeming a little unhappy.

But Yang Shifei quickly said with a solemn expression: "Last night, I was brought into Luo Mansion by a young maid. Did that girl call her 'Jasmine'?"

"."

Sandalwood gradually opened her eyes.

no.

Jasmine was in the lady's bedroom like herself last night and never left.

I thought that the man in front of me was ignorant of etiquette and broke into Luo Mansion late at night. It turned out that last night was...
  "Girl?" Yang Shifei asked tentatively, "There seems to be some accident?"

Sandalwood's face calmed down: "Young master, you don't need to worry, you can live a stable life here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he left the yard with hurried steps.

Yang Shifei looked at her hurried away figure, feeling puzzled and also a little chilly.

The situation in Luo Mansion seemed to be even weirder than he imagined.

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

"Do ghosts still trip each other up?"

Yang Shifei was unsure of the undercurrent of the situation, so he had no choice but to pretend that nothing had happened.

He is an ordinary person and has no confidence to intervene now. No matter how curious you are, you are asking for trouble. ".never mind."

Yang Shifei patted his stiff face and prepared to pack the luggage he had brought before going out to take a look around the town.

Although it is unbelievable that the soft rice is fragrant, it is impossible for him to really wait for death and rely on women to survive his whole life. What's more, whether the two of them can succeed has not yet been decided, and they must be independent and self-reliant.

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

As for practicing martial arts and making a living in the world, I have to put it aside for now.

He had specifically inquired about Miss Luo just now and learned that the Luo family was not a martial arts family. It was impossible to rely on his status as a 'brother-in-law' to obtain secrets and make a comeback.

Unless he can find a martial arts sect and join it. Otherwise, even if you really have a magical secret book in your hand, you may practice it to the point of going crazy without even realizing it.

Yang Shifei sighed helplessly and went back to the house to tidy up the bed where he slept.

Carrying beauty and sword to the ends of the world, which young person has not imagined this kind of life. But now that we have really come to a world where warriors are everywhere, the empty trouser pockets are like a heavy hammer of reality, hitting my forehead, as if telling myself——

No matter how you dance or play with the sword, you should look back at the little rich woman more.

The sun sets in the west and the dusk becomes dark.

After wandering around Dongcheng for most of the day, Yang Shifei returned home thoughtfully.

Since time traveling, he has almost always lived in the remote Niujia Village, and his understanding of this era is still too shallow.

Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I finally understand what Aunt Niu and the others said about the ‘prosperous era of martial arts’.

Men and women dressed as warriors could be seen almost everywhere along the way, and they even happened to run into a sudden fight. Although I only saw it from a distance, the scene of swords and swords was just like what I imagined the world would look like.

"Although there is a government presence, there is no strict control over fighting with weapons."

Yang Shifei thought that a group of officers and soldiers came in a hurry and simply detained him.

The people around him also reacted in a common way. Fighting between warriors has even become a favorite topic of conversation among them.

"The royal family of the Liang Kingdom respects warriors quite a lot."

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

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

If you can become a warrior, you can accomplish something in the government, not to mention sword fighting.

However, almost all the sects around Dongcheng restricted the recruitment of apprentices to those under fifteen years old, including the government yamen, so there was no chance for him. There is no martial arts training method that can be bought with silver coins on the streets. Unless there is a noble person to help, otherwise the way will be completely blocked.

"It seems that I can only find a job as a bookkeeper in Yellow Crane Tower first. The small inn in the west is also good, and the business is very good. Maybe I can give it a try."

No matter whether he takes action in the future, Yang Shifei is ready to stabilize his job first and then think about the future.

After all, practicing martial arts requires a lot of meat to replenish physical fitness, and studying literature requires pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, which are all money. And the little money I had left was completely used up today, with no penny left.

But when he thought about it again, he felt a little bit dumbfounded.

Before and after the time travel, I was troubled by work. I was born to work.

"--Ah."

Yang Shifei was startled by the sudden sneer.

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

For a moment, Yang Shifei felt uneasy again.

When did this woman come in? !
  "who are you?"

He tightened his face and said in a low voice: "Why are you here?"

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

Yang Shifei's mind changed rapidly and he quickly gritted his teeth.

This woman's identity and intentions are unclear. If she doesn't figure out her details early, she will never be able to live a peaceful life here.

If you let him go now, you will only leave yourself with hidden dangers.

"Wait!"

He immediately strode forward and grabbed the other person's slender arm: "What on earth did you do last night -"

Before he finished speaking, a chill suddenly came from his palms.

Yang Shifei's eyes widened, he jerked back as if he was electrocuted, and waved his hands wildly.

But in the blink of an eye, the coldness in the palm penetrated into the palm like a tarsal bone, quickly seeping into the flesh and bones, and even continued to surge up the arm!
  "Fuck, what the hell is this!"

Yang Shifei's face suddenly twisted in pain, and he felt unimaginable pain emerging from his right arm, like being bitten by thousands of ants, and he almost collapsed to the ground with his eyes blackened.

He almost thought he was killed by a female ghost, but the pain came suddenly and receded quickly. After breathing for a moment, only cold sweat was left all over his body, as if the pain he had just experienced was just an illusion.

Yang Shifei gasped for breath, shook his head as if in shock, and quickly focused his gaze again. He 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 him curiously, her face looking very different. Quite similar.

"What did you just do to me?"

Yang Shifei pressed his arm and took a step back, his eyes even more fearful.

He didn't know what strange abilities the female ghost had in this world. Was it mental shock, illusion, or a poison?

When his thoughts were confused, he vaguely discovered that the cold air that brought endless pain had spread to his whole body. Instead, it brought an inexplicable sense of fulfillment. The fatigue all over his body was swept away, and his spirit was as clear as ever. abundant.

Yang Shifei became more and more stunned.

"I did not do anything."

The mysterious maid tilted her head and showed a chilling smile: "It was you who bit me."

 I hope everyone will follow up and vote more, thank you~
