There was silence.
Luo Qingzhou picked up the last string of candied haws on the windowsill and walked out of the house.
It’s just a string of candied haws. I’ll buy it for Xiaodie next time.
He walked under the pear tree and handed the candied haws in his hand to the cold girl.
"snort."
The girl snorted coldly, turned her head and looked away.
The sword was still held in her arms, her pointed chin slightly raised, her long eyelashes and dark eyes motionless, and her pretty face still as cold as ice.
The whole person seems to be a pretty and exquisite ice sculpture.
A breeze blew by, lifting a strand of the girl's hair and also bringing with it a whiff of her fragrance.
Light and sweet.
Very unique.
Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to look at it any longer. He withdrew his gaze and was about to leave with the candied haws when the familiar chill suddenly enveloped his whole body again.
At the same time, a cold murderous aura came over him, sending chills down his spine.
He paused and turned to look.
The girl still held the sword, her pretty face tilted, looking away coldly.
Bai Ling at the gate suddenly laughed and said, "Son-in-law, Chanchan won't eat anything anyone gives her. You ask her... beg her to eat."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Eat it if you like, or not.
Why should I spoil you
He ignored her, took the candied haws and prepared to go back to the house.
“Zheng!”
With the sound of a sword, a cold light flashed!
Then, my neck suddenly felt itchy.
His body stiffened, he stopped, touched his neck, and turned to look.
Under the pear tree, the girl was still holding the sword, her pretty face standing there coldly, as if she had never moved.
The sword is in its sheath, and it seems as if it has never come out.
But a thin branch of the pear tree above her head suddenly fell down and landed on the ground with a "pop".
Luo Qingzhou did not feel any blood on his neck.
But my whole body felt like it was falling into an ice cellar and I was cold all over.
He paused for a few seconds before turning around and returning to stop in front of her again. He handed her the candied haws and lowered his head to say, "Miss Xia Chan..."
He felt a little flushed.
But he still said, "Please...eat the candied haws. I bought them specially for you."
"snort!"
The girl snorted again, but this time she snatched the candied haws from his hand.
Then, he left coldly.
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
When Bai Ling passed by her, she said with a smile: "Chanchan, is this the candied haws that your uncle bought for you? It looks very sweet. Can you give me a bite?"
No one paid any attention to her.
The girl held a sword in one hand and a candied haws in the other, and disappeared coldly and silently out the door.
"Uncle."
Bailing shook the remaining candied haws in her hand at the door, blinked and said, "You must work hard tonight."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Luo Qingzhou stood in the courtyard for a while, and after making sure that they would not come back, he went over, closed the gate and bolted it.
Then he returned to the room, closed the door and window, and took out the storage bag.
When I opened the bag, I silently said to myself: a weak scholar.
Then, his eyes suddenly fell inside.
The originally narrow space in the bag suddenly became clear.
It was actually more than ten cubic meters in size.
The first thing that catches your eye is a small bag of golden coins.
After a rough estimate, there were at least one thousand gold coins.
Based on the conversion rate of one gold coin equaling 100 taels of silver, there are actually 100,000 taels of silver here!
A lowest-level warrior not only carries a storage bag, but also contains such a huge amount of money.
Is it his own property, or...
Luo Qingzhou thought of yesterday's ambush and the true feelings he saw in the eyes of those killers.
"I'm afraid a large part of these gold coins were given to him by the eldest lady?"
In addition to salaries and properties, Chengguo Mansion would also organize warriors to hunt monsters from time to time.
The second young master Luo Yu would often go along for training.
That should be the most profitable.
I casually flipped through a book in Jubao Pavilion before, and it said that a lowest-level demon pill could be exchanged for thousands of gold coins.
What a warrior gains in one casual move might be something a mortal could never earn in his entire lifetime.
Just like the rich people of his time, a meal could cost millions, which is something an ordinary person might not be able to earn even if they worked hard all their lives without eating or drinking.
Some ordinary people have never even seen a gold coin in their entire lives.
Of course, the energy consumption of warriors is incomparable to that of ordinary people.
At the same time, every mission involves risking one's life.
The warrior killer from yesterday was obviously hired by the eldest lady at a huge price.
I am willing to do that.
Luo Qingzhou looked at the gold coins and clenched his fists.
After calming down, he looked at a brocade box next to him.
The lid of the box was opened, revealing a milky white round bead.
Looking at its appearance, it actually looks like a demon pill!
He immediately withdrew his gaze, took out the book he had just bought from Jubao Pavilion, searched for a while, and finally found a picture of a demon pill.
There are milky white, light blue, dark blue, red, and so on.
This milky white demon pill is obviously the lowest level demon pill.
However, the warrior yesterday was only at the Skin Refining stage, so it should be impossible for him to hunt down a monster with a demon pill by himself.
It was probably looted or stolen from somewhere else.
This demon pill is of great value!
Luo Qingzhou was excited. He put down the book and looked into the storage bag again.
There were more than a dozen bottles of potions inside, obviously all for cultivation.
In addition to the potion, there were more than two hundred taels of silver and some clothes.
There was even some food.
Other than that, there are no other useful items.
There are no secret manuals on cultivation, and no treasures.
But that's enough.
For him, it was completely unexpected wealth and a pleasant surprise.
Luo Qingzhou immediately stood up, took out the Sun and Moon Mirror from under the bed and the secret book he got last night, and put them into the storage bag.
I put it in and took it out repeatedly, and tried it many times before I became proficient in it.
With this huge sum of money, he will probably have no problem refining his flesh in the future, and can eat and use as much as he wants.
Coupled with the spiritual fluid produced by the Sun and Moon Mirror, his cultivation speed is estimated to be even faster.
Put away the storage bags and open the windows.
He opened the book introducing warriors on the table and began to read it carefully.
"In addition to using external force to beat the skin, the combination of internal skills and medicine, a warrior can also have another warrior who is at least a great martial artist directly inject his internal force into the skin to help temper it, which is even faster."
"Refining the skin and the flesh can all be done in the same way."
"If you practice on your own, from the beginning to the successful skin refining, it will take about a year for those with high talent; for those with low talent, it may take three to five years..."
"With the help of others, from the beginning to the successful leather refining, those with high talent only need one month; those with low talent only need one year..."
"It is best for women to have others help them refine their skin and flesh. It is faster, more effective, and they don't suffer too much pain..."
When Luo Qingzhou saw this, he was secretly surprised.
This book says that if one practices on their own, even those with high talent may need as long as a year.
He practiced on his own, and it took him less than a month to succeed in refining his skin.
It seems that the spiritual liquid produced by the Sun and Moon Mirror is even better than he imagined!
He turned to the next page.
Time flies by quickly when reading.
In the blink of an eye.
It was dark outside, already dusk.
The snow is falling heavier.
When it was getting dark, Xiaodie came back with a sumptuous meal.
After the master and servant finished eating in the house, night had already fallen.
Although they had already taken a bath during the day, the two still took their clothes and went to the lake in the wind and snow.
Taking a hot spring bath and being showered by snowflakes is a unique experience.
Xiaodie had long black hair, and a pair of snow-white shoulders were exposed in the mist. She tilted her head and scrubbed her hair, saying, "Sir, do you think the young lady will come tonight?"
Luo Qingzhou walked to her side, stretched out his hands to rub her hair, and did not answer.
Who cares
If she used that trick again this time, he would definitely expose her.
Xiaodie looked at him shyly, blushing and saying, "Sir..."
"what?"
"I want to..."
"Don't think about it, it will be another year longer."
"No, I want to... I want to pee..."
"… "
Luo Qingzhou turned and walked away, his back to her, his head sinking into the water.
Then he suddenly remembered something, and quickly floated up again, spitting out a mouthful of water from his mouth.
Xiaodie covered her face shyly, bit her pink lips, and dared not look at him.
The night is very quiet.
The snowflakes fell on the lake and melted before they entered the water.
But they still come one after another, endlessly.
This winter seems to have just begun.
