"What the hell!" The old man opened the door with a shout, his face full of impatience, "Didn't I tell you that I have to wait until all the wood is sawed... okay... then... later..."
Before he could finish his words, out of the corner of his eye, he had already caught sight of the neatly stacked thin wooden strips in the corner of the yard.
"Then... did you do all those??" The old man opened his mouth wide, pointed at the pile of thin wooden strips, and asked Ye Qiqi in a stammering voice.
The wrinkled face was filled with disbelief.
"Yes." Ye Qiqi nodded, looked at the old man with a bright smile and said, "How about it, hurry up."
"You didn't ask your brother for help??" The old man stood there for a while, then turned his head with a suspicious look on his face, and his eyes fell on Mo Hanqing, who was still standing at the door of the yard.
The man seemed to have stood there since he came here, without moving.
"No." Ye Qiqi said to the old man simply: "My brother never does such menial work."
“…”
The old man's face instantly turned green.
But he still looked at Ye Qiqi with an unconvincing expression, because he had just promised that as long as she could chop the pyre before the sun went down, he would let her take part in the assassin's test. So now he could only nod his head towards Ye Qiqi and said: "Okay, I'll let you take part in the assassin test, but you have to remember that being a killer is not child's play. When the time comes, it will be all about swords and swords. If you accidentally hurt yourself, Don’t blame me for your life.”
"Okay, okay, I get it." Ye Qiqi suddenly became excited.
"The test is held on the 15th of every month." The old man looked at her cheerful look, shook his head helplessly and said: "Two days before the test, we set off for the trial venue. We are now close to leaving. There are still three days left, so you can stay in my small courtyard for now."
"Okay." Ye Qiqi agreed.
"That room over there is for you two." The old man pointed at a small room next to the bungalow and said to Ye Qiqi and Mo Hanqing: "In these three days, you two can do whatever you want, as long as Just don’t bother me.”
"That room?" Ye Qiqi looked in the direction of his finger. It seemed to be a single room.
"Why, it's not enough for you two brothers to live in?" The old man frowned and looked at Ye Qiqi with some displeasure and asked.
"Uh... that's enough." Ye Qiqi was stunned and nodded hesitantly. When she turned to look at Mo Hanqing, she found that he was still expressionless.
He didn't seem to have any reaction to the fact that the two of them were about to sleep in the same room.
"Okay, you two go over and put your things down." The old man waved his hand impatiently, "I still have things to do, so don't bother me."
"Oh..." Ye Qiqi responded, then walked to Mo Hanqing's side, tugged on his sleeve and said, "Brother?"
"Yes." Mo Hanqing responded in a low voice, looked at the old man deeply, and then followed Ye Qiqi towards the room.
Although the room looks shabby and small from the outside, it is very clean inside. It's just that the bed placed in the center of the room... seems a bit small.
