Chapter 196 Is fabric expensive?

"Okay, grandma!"

Xiaoqian bowed slightly, waved her sleeves and rushed to Lanruo Temple.

"Grandma, let me go for my sister tonight!"

Xiaoqing grabbed Xiaoqian's sleeve and said with deep sisterly affection: "Sister, I am very worried tonight. I don't know which lover I am missing. It would be bad if my forced smile delayed grandma's good deeds."

"Well, that's fine, then you can go."

Grandma Dryad agreed to Xiaoqing's request, and a half-male, half-female voice spread in the room: "Xiaoqian, since you are mentally ill, you should take a good rest. Once you have regained your energy, you can work for me another day."

Grandma doesn't care whether Xiaoqian is restless or not. What she cares about is the atmosphere in the yard. She has never studied management, but after years of doing business, she understands a truth deeply.

Competition brings pressure!

Only when this group of female ghosts are under pressure and compete with each other will they work extra hard, and she can enjoy the success and eat as much as she wants.

The old demon from Montenegro often sends female ghosts for the same purpose, to make these little bitches feel the pressure. If they don't have the ability, they will replace the old ones with new ones to see who dares to work hard.

At Lanruo Temple, Liao Wenjie lit up a lamp and read a book. He didn't see the female ghost come to the door for a while. He was thinking that it might rain today, so he was too lazy to open the door.

Since there was no business across the street, he stopped pretending to be a scholar. He took out steamed buns with meat and vegetables from the book box, put the oil paper on top of the sage's book, and ate happily.

After he was half full, he slapped his head and thought about subduing the female ghost, but he actually forgot about Yan Chixia.

Not next time.

After putting away the food, he ran to the opposite side of the yard, opened the door and saw Yan Chixia sitting cross-legged.

With a serious look on his face, he put his sword on his knees, as if he was polishing his sword.

"Master Yan, practice is not about just a moment. You were in such a hurry today that you didn't even eat much..."

Liao Wenjie put the food and wine on the table in front of Yan Chixia, opened the oil paper and said: "Come on, come on, there are beef, roast chicken, and two vegetarian dishes. The steamed buns and pancakes are enough. If you don't mind, you can eat some to fill your stomach." .”

Yan Chixia couldn't move, she was obsessed with practicing and had no interest in external temptations, until Liao Wenjie tore open the seal on the wine pot.

"What do you mean, you kid? You are obviously not a scholar, but you pretend to be one, and you light a lamp and burn oil to imitate other scholars who study hard at night."

Yan Chixia picked up the wine bottle and took a sip, then tore off the chicken legs and said with a mouth full of oil: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"When I was inquiring about the news, I heard that there is a female ghost in Lanruo Temple who specializes in seducing former scholars and wanting to know more about her."

"real or fake?"

Yan Chixia didn't believe it. Generally speaking, anyone who could say such stupid things would be labeled as a womanizer by him.

But the problem is, Liao Wenjie is not a womanizer!

When she had no place to live, Xiaoshuang worked diligently and helped Liao Wenjie make the bed and fold the quilt before nightfall. Whenever Liao Wenjie had some thoughts, Xiaoshuang would change her hairstyle.

However, no, after getting along for almost two months, Liao Wenjie kept a distance from Xiaoshuang and ignored her in all kinds of ways.

Before leaving, he sent the pretty maid away without any hesitation.

If these are all considered lecherous, then Cui Hongjian should be a lecherous ghost.

"It's fun. Since I have nothing to do, let's just have fun and pass the time."

"Hmph, let's have fun. Why didn't you have fun with others when the Ghost King Nine-tailed Fox was here?"

"If I can't beat him, I'm afraid that if she tries harder and gets a taste of the sweetness, I'll be in big trouble."

"..."

Yan Chixia was speechless, but after thinking about it carefully, this was indeed the truth.

"Since you know, I won't say much more. Remember that people can interact with each other as yin and yang, and people and ghosts can only go in and out. Be careful, don't be deceived by the female ghost's clever words and seduction."

Yan Chixia threw down the chicken bones, pinched the beef and stuffed it into her mouth. She drank a sip of wine and raised her head and exclaimed happily.

"got it."

Liao Wenjie ate steamed buns and vegetarian dishes: "I just checked in the house and found several mummies. If I guessed correctly, Lanruo Temple must be the territory of a certain demon."

"Is there such a thing?"

Yan Chixia frowned and raised her hand to wipe the drink off her beard: "Ordinary female ghosts are not capable of sucking people into mummies. The most they can do is use some yang energy to replenish their bodies. Even if they are diligent, they will just cripple people... Well, you should be careful these days and use clichés when you meet female ghosts. I suspect there is a hidden meaning behind this."

"It's easy to say, I'll take care of it."

Liao Wenjie nodded repeatedly and suddenly thought of something: "Master Yan, I still have a few scholar uniforms that I bought specially for you. Why don't you put them on too, and let's try to act like a female ghost together."

"Leave the wine and you can go away."

Outside the temple, Qing Yi pulled the silk ribbon and landed on the ground. Xiao Qing walked slowly into the temple and looked at both sides of the courtyard.

There were people on the left and right. The one on the left smelled of alcohol and snoring faintly. On the right, a candle was lit, and there was a fresh fragrance of youth and vitality.

Xiao Qing nodded secretly. On the left was a man from the world, and on the right was a young scholar.

Choosing one of the two, she chose the scholar without hesitation.

They are all doing business anyway, so why not choose someone you like. As for the big, round-waisted man who doesn't take a shower for ten days and a half, and only takes a shower when it rains, just leave it to pressure Xiaoqian.

Xiaoqing cursed in her heart, silently holding back her bad move, took out a flower umbrella from her sleeve, and knocked on the door on the right.

"Is anyone there? Is anyone there?"

"The little girl was walking here when a sudden rain fell and her clothes were soaked. She wanted to find a place to escape the cold."

"What nonsense, it's been raining all day."

In the room on the left, Yan Chixia snorted. She was full of wine and food, contented, turned over and went back to sleep.

He was not worried at all. A mere brat was not worth mentioning. Meeting Liao Wenjie was not enough to fill his teeth.

Squeak!

Liao Wenjie, who was dressed as a scholar, opened the door and saw the woman's appearance and dress clearly, and was stunned on the spot.

Half-covered and disheveled, it’s really indecent!

He couldn't think of riding a sister, vixens are like this, and the female ghosts of Lanruo Temple are like this. He just wants to ask, ladies and gentlemen, are the fabrics expensive?

If it’s not expensive, why not wear more clothes in such a cold day!

Liao Wenjie was stunned on the spot, and Xiaoqing was also slightly stunned, secretly thinking that such a handsome scholar, it's a good thing that he took the initiative to ask for a job today, otherwise Xiaoqian would have been advantaged.

When she came back to her senses, she saw Liao Wenjie looking straight at her breasts, and the corners of his mouth were raised with pride. She didn't need to wait until tomorrow night. She would use a little trick to win the scholar and present it to her grandma tonight.

"You scholar, you look so polite, but your eyes are so dishonest." Xiao Qing closed her umbrella in front of her, scolding her with a hint of coquettishness.

"Ah, Miss Brutality, sin, sin, sin."

Liao Wenjie got out of the way, invited Xiaoqing into the house, and explained: "I see it's windy and rainy outside, and it's the middle of the night. I'm surprised, Miss, how dare you come to Lanruo Temple alone... Well, you're still dressed like this... Be diligent and thrifty at home.”

"Pfft——"

Xiao Qing covered her mouth and smiled: "You scholar, what you say is really interesting."

"It's okay. Let me tell you something. When I saw the young lady's appearance, I thought I had encountered a ghost. Otherwise, I can't explain why there is such a beautiful person like you in the deep mountains and forests."

"What, you're not afraid that I'm a ghost now?"

"Don't be afraid!"

Liao Wenjie shook his head and said something to the effect: "I don't usually do anything bad, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. The lady is not afraid of me, a grown man, so why should I be afraid of you?"

"Hehehe..."

In a few words, Xiaoqing judged that Liao Wenjie was a nerd who was too stupid to study. To deal with such a person, she could easily pull out a strategy.

"The young man's surname is Cui and his given name is Hongjian. I don't know what the lady's surname is."

"I'm not a young lady, just a maid from a wealthy family. Mr. Cui, just call me Xiaoqing."

Xiaoqing sighed longly, and frowned with a cloud of worry that could not be gone away: "To be honest, I married into Guobei Town with my young lady. My husband's family was a bad gambler. He lost his family's farmland and his ancestral house. I lost money today and wanted to sell me, but my lady couldn't bear it and secretly let me run away."

"Hiss, there are people in this world who are worse than beasts!"

Liao Wenjie's eyes widened. This story sounded ordinary, and there was no drama that was ruined back and forth, which seriously affected the level of tearing.

"That's why I ran to the deep mountains and forests in the middle of the night. I had nowhere to go but here."

Xiaoqing lowered her head to wipe her tears. When she saw Liao Wenjie watching, she secretly scolded the scholar for his lustful heart and lack of courage. His feet stumbled and he fell directly into Liao Wenjie's arms.

"oops!"

"Miss Xiaoqing, what's wrong with you?"

Liao Wenjie held his hands on his thin waist and lowered his head to see a patch of white flowers. Then he lowered his head and looked at his ankles, just in time to see a green snake swimming into the gap between the boards.

They bring their own props, and these female ghosts work very hard to act.

"Mr. Cui, my ankle hurts, as if I was bitten by a snake."

"Yes, I saw it. Although I don't know what kind it is, the triangular head should be poisonous." Liao Wenjie nodded, helped Xiaoqing go up to the second floor, and asked her to sit down on the bed.

"Master Cui, don't scare me. I live in the mountains and forests. If I were bitten by a poisonous snake, there would be no way I could survive."

Xiao Qing slowly pulled up the hem of her skirt, revealing her white calves: "Please help me take a look, make sure it's not a venomous snake."

"Miss Xiaoqing, why don't you wear pants under your skirt?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Please help me quickly. I feel dizzy and my heart is beating so fast."

Xiao Qing skipped the useless nonsense, with a hint of shyness on her face, and went directly to the topic: "Mr. Cui, you are right, it is a poisonous snake. You can help me suck out the poison. There is no way I can repay you for saving my life. If I don’t mind it, I’m willing to commit myself to you and serve you for the rest of my life.”

Liao Wenjie: "..."

Using your mouth to take drugs is an idea that would never have occurred to you without having suffered from cerebral thrombosis for ten years.

"Sir, it's the beauty of Xiao Qing Pu Liu, can't it catch your eye?" Seeing Liao Wenjie motionless, Xiao Qing couldn't help but urge.

"That's not true, but it's not advisable to use your mouth to take drugs. If you can't save people, you'll harm them."

"???"

"Miss Xiaoqing doesn't know something. The book says that the human oral mucosa is very easy to absorb snake venom, and the speed is very fast. It is faster and deeper than the poison of the person bitten by the poisonous snake."

Liao Wenjie spread his hands and said helplessly: "If I give you drugs with my mouth, there is only one outcome. If you are bitten by a poisonous snake, I will die first before you."

There is also this saying. As expected of a scholar, he knows so much!

Xiao Qing was confused after hearing this, and subconsciously asked: "What should I do? Am I hopeless?"

"It's not like there's nothing we can do. That's good. I'll talk to you."

"Can talking detoxify snake venom?" Xiao Qing became even more confused.

"No, because the situation is very serious. Apart from talking to you, I really can't think of a way to save you."

Liao Wenjie took Xiaoqing's hand and looked upright: "Let's talk, what are your last words? Before it's too late, explain it clearly before you die, so that you can die more peacefully."

Xiaoqing: "..."

She chose the wrong strategy. The scholar was more stupid than she thought. She should have pushed it as soon as it came up!
