You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 657 People who pretend to be knowledgeable in front of us

Shi Xiaoliu touched the mountain carefully for a while and said, "This should be a real mountain. I can't feel any pulse."

Xia Yuze walked back and forth at the foot of the mountain: "This mountain looks real, but I always feel like something is wrong."

Shi Zelan reached out to pull out a piece of grass: "This grass looks similar to the seedlings in the field."

Grass grew, mountains collapsed, villages disappeared, and fields turned into desert.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment. Xia Yu quickly reacted and reached out to pull Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan, saying, "Run."

The three of them flashed and floated past the collapsed mountain.

A roaring voice came from not far away: "Whoever destroyed my mirror flower and water moon, pay for it."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two had already run far away by this time, and this time they stopped on a real mountain.

The mountain breeze blew on their faces, and the three of them exhaled at the same time.

"This space is quite strange, and every day is testing our tolerance."

"Yeah, I almost screamed when that pheasant turned into a mountain in front of me."

“That man fish is also unacceptable.

It looks like a fish, which is quite delicate, but when it turns into a human, it must be big and strong. "

"This is a normal reaction when you don't have anything and just want something."

The three of them chatted for a while, and immediately relaxed, and decided to rest in the mountains for a day or two.

After resting for two days on the mountain, they went down the mountain again. This time, the place they went to was a more normal place in their eyes.

They can understand what the people here say, and what appears here are spiritual beasts.

Shi Xiaoliu and his two companions went to find a place and inquired about renting a house. They also wanted to know if there were any ancestors of outsiders here.

The broker suddenly laughed and said, "Our city is a new one, and our ancestors were all outsiders.

If you ask about new arrivals, you are the newest outsiders."

After Shi Xiaoliu and the other two looked at each other, Shi Zelan asked the dental practitioner curiously, "Has the new city been built for a hundred years?"

“It’s almost the hundredth year, and the city is going to hold a celebration. You’ve come at a good time.

If you had come a few days later, there would be no unused small courtyards in our city."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two asked the broker about the date of the celebration and found out it would be two months later. After discussing it, the three of them told the broker their decision.

"Then let's wait until after the celebration."

The broker was pleased with the three of them for being so forthright, and took them to the cleanest small courtyard.

The yard was indeed very small, with only three rooms, a kitchen in the front yard, and two bathrooms in the back yard, which was just right for Shi Xiaoliu and his two children to live in.

However, the rent of this courtyard made Shi Xiaoliu and the other two gasp. It was five taels of silver a month, and exactly ten taels of silver for two months.

The agent said to the three of them very straightforwardly: "If you think the rent is a bit high, you can rent it for four more months.

The rent for half a year is reasonable, you can pay three taels of silver per month."

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two didn't want to stay in an inn, nor did they want to go through the trouble of looking at other courtyards, so they decided on this one.

At this time, the agent was happy: "Okay, you guys are happy, I will also tell you about the advantages of this yard."

This small courtyard does have one good thing. There is a well in the backyard, located in the corner of the wall, half inside the wall and half outside the wall.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two frowned at the same time: "This well is shared with the outside world."

“Of course, if it’s unique to your courtyard, five taels of silver per month is too cheap.

It's only lively in the morning, and it's relatively quiet here at other times." Shi Xiaoliu and the other two fell silent. They wanted to stay here for a short time because they wanted to find out some secret and long-standing news.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two readily gave the broker a commission, so the broker was willing to remind them.

"There isn't much else going on on your street, except for the gossips of women. You should stay away from them."

After Shi Xiaoliu and the other two saw the broker off, someone knocked on the door when they were tidying up the yard.

Shi Xiaoliu went to open the courtyard door and saw five women standing outside the courtyard door. He immediately asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

"You guys just moved here, how can I help you?"

"No, thanks."

Shi Xiaoliu was about to close the door, but was stopped by a woman.

"Brother, you are not very old, what kind of job do you want to find by coming to our city?
Tell us what you want, and we can help you sort it out.”

"No, I'm just here to accompany my brothers on their study tour."

"Your family is a wealthy one, so why didn't you bring any followers with you?"

Shi Xiaoliu closed the door immediately, while Shi Zelan and Xia Yu had already cleaned the yard.

Shi Xiaoliu went over and whispered to them, "Next time, you two will be the young masters, and I will be the follower."

Shi Zelan asked in surprise: "Xiao Liu, you want to change your identity after listening to them for two or three sentences?"

Xia Yu immediately agreed with Shi Zelan's words: "Xiao Liu, let's act like this, not everyone here is necessarily rich.

We don’t need to be shy about anything when we get along like this.”

After the three of them started living here, they understood the true meaning of the Ya people's language.

It seemed as if all the women on the street were paying attention to how these three of them were living their lives.

Shi Xiaoliu and his two friends ate a light diet, so they would kindly say to Shi Xiaoliu, "You two brothers are young, so you should eat some meat."

Shi Xiaoliu would talk to them at first, but when he saw that they were getting more and more involved in other people's affairs, he asked them, "Don't you have anything to do at home?"

The women all changed their expressions and scolded Shi Xiaoliu for being ungrateful.

Shi Xiaoliu closed the door directly and said to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu: "I understand now that women who are busy are the most difficult to deal with."

After Shi Xiaoliu and the other two ignored the women, they started making loud noises by the well.

Shi Xiaoliu and the other two would go out in the morning. They would sit in a teahouse or go to a bookstore to read local books.

At first they could not understand the words in this world, but after a long time, they figured out the meaning of various fonts.

The three men therefore invited a teacher to come to the yard to teach them how to read and write.

When the women heard about what Shi Xiaoliu and the other two had done, after the Master left, they came to their door and laughed at them.

"Hahaha, three illiterate people pretending to be learned in front of us."

Shi Zelan came out and met the women, looked at them and asked, "How many words do you know?

Do you read a lot? Do you know how to draw?
Do you understand the saying "Review the past to learn the present?"

When the women saw the sharpness in Shi Zelan's eyes, they said awkwardly, "We are from a poor family and we didn't have the opportunity to learn to read.

We have no other intentions, we just don’t want outsiders to destroy the atmosphere of our street.”

"is it?
atmosphere?

Ha ha.

We brothers will not bring women into the yard, but you don't have to come to us on your own initiative, we won't allow you to enter the yard."
