With Liu Ji's imagination of the bright future of the house, Qi Xianguan, who had just thought that the old house was a haunted house, suddenly began to like its rickety door, mottled walls, and bare courtyard.

He immediately looked around the house excitedly, took note of the layout, and prepared to go back and design a farmhouse for himself and his teacher.

The guards and maids all stayed behind, only Shitou followed back. He would not leave Qi Xianguan even for a moment.

Qin Yao stayed behind to settle the guards and maids before returning home alone under the particularly soft and beautiful light white moonlight tonight.

Gong Liangliao stayed in Liu Ji's room. The servant was making the bed and Liu Ji was serving him. He just put a rolled straw mat on the ground and put a quilt on it.

Sanlang and Si Niang vacated their beds for Qi Xianguan and his servant Shi Tou. Dalang and Erlang cried with envy because the two younger ones could sleep in the same room with Qin Yao.

Si Niang had happily brought her quilt and small pillow to Qin Yao's room a long time ago, and she also took her lantern with her, lighting it at night so that she felt safe.

Such an arrangement was a bit of a stretch for a great scholar like Gong Liangliao, but the old man didn't say anything and accepted it with pleasure.

Maybe it’s because I just arrived, so I think this is quite interesting.

Qin Yao's house was clean. Although the furniture was not exquisite, it was newly made. The whole house was exactly the farmhouse courtyard that Qi Xianguan had imagined.

When he saw the bunk beds in the children's room, he was curious for a while. Finally, he chose the upper bunk and let Shitou sleep on the lower bunk.

Qi Xianguan was accompanied by Dalang and Erlang, while Gong Liangliao had Liu Ji to take care of him. Qin Yao, who had been busy all day, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Before going to bed, Awang boiled several pots of hot water and everyone simply washed up.

Such are the conditions in the countryside. The hosts have made the best arrangements they can, and the guests are very polite and have no complaints.

After drying his hair, Qi Xianguan came to Liu Ji's room, and Gong Liangliao was already lying on Liu Ji's bed.

With the window next to the bed open, he could see the big, round moon in the sky. The old man was in a very good mood and even wanted to compose a poem.

Seeing Qi Xianguan coming in, he looked at him and asked: What’s the matter?

Due to the special circumstances tonight, I had already told him that he wouldn't have to take the test.

Qi Xiangguan just came back and was busy preparing the bed. After choosing the bed, he went to wash up. He had not had time to discuss the renovation of the old house with the teacher, so he came here to ask for instructions.

Long before Qi Xianguan entered the house, Liu Ji had already whispered to his teacher. When Qi Xianguan mentioned it, Gong Liangliao said, "I already know about this. It is really interesting to turn an abandoned house into a new one. I also have some ideas."

Qi Xianguan immediately asked Shitou to bring pen and ink. Gong Liangliao made several design suggestions. Qi Xianguan wrote them down one by one, and then excitedly talked about many of his own ideas and asked for his teacher's opinion.

Gong Liangliao waved his hand, "Just do whatever you want. There's no need to ask me again and again about such a small matter."

"Wait!" Liu Ji asked quickly: "You guys?"

Gong Liangliao glanced at him sideways, then looked at Qi Xianguan, nodded and said, "You two have worked hard."

No! Liu Ji wailed in his heart, I don’t want to work!

But seeing that the Immortal Official Qi stood up and respectfully accepted the task, Liu Ji was not to be outdone, and stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Teacher, you are too polite. It's not hard for Ji."

He just has a hard life!

The cry of an owl was heard outside the house. It was late at night. Seeing Gong Liangliao yawning, Qi Xiangu bowed and took his leave.

Liu Ji walked him to the door of the next room and politely said, "Brother, if you want to go to the toilet at night, there is a toilet in the room. We are a family from now on. There is no need to be too restrained. Junior brother's home is your home. Senior brother, please feel free to help if you need anything."

Qi Xianguan glared at him awkwardly, "How disrespectful!"

Liu Ji stared in astonishment. He kindly reminded him, "Why are you still cursing?" He hadn't even mentioned shit, piss or fart yet.

Even though he disliked this man, Qi Xianguan was still polite and refrained from swearing. He waved his hand to signal Liu Ji to get out.

Liu Ji thought the child's tense face was so cute that he couldn't help but stretched out his finger to quickly poke the pink and slightly bulging face, then turned around and slipped into the house, quickly closing the door.

Gong Liangliao, who had already closed his eyes, opened one eye and looked over, "Did you go and provoke your senior brother again?"

Liu Ji shook his head to deny it, then lay down on the empty seat next to the servant, covered his face with the quilt, and said, "Good night, teacher!" He then fell into a deep sleep.

Outside the house, Qi Xianguan touched his face in disbelief and said in a low voice, "Uncouth country bumpkin!"

After letting out a little breath, he turned around and saw Shitou also raising his hand with an expression of disbelief. He asked suspiciously, "Did he poke your face too?"

Shitou shook his head, looked at his hand in shock, then looked at the dark window next door where the lights had been turned off, and said, "He is so fast. I just wanted to stop him from getting close to you, young master, but I didn't expect him to get there first."

Qi Xianguan was also surprised when he heard this, "You said that villager is faster than a stone?"

Shitou nodded hesitantly, not knowing whether he had become lazy in practicing martial arts recently or whether Liu Ji was hiding his true strengths.

The master and servant were whispering their guesses when a black figure suddenly appeared in the yard, startling them both.

Shitou immediately protected the little master behind him, and his hand fell on the hilt of the sword at his waist. Just as he was about to draw it, the little master behind him called out suspiciously, "Awang?"

Awang lit the lantern in his hand, nodded slightly, turned around and went to the backyard with the lantern.

He was always the last one to go to bed at home. He would check the doors, windows and stove before going to bed. On weekdays, when there were no outsiders at home, he could see everything anyway and was used to not turning on the lights. He didn't remember that he had guests today and made a mistake.

Seeing Awang disappear, Shitou finally let out a breath he had been holding, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said angrily, "It's so scary to not turn on the lights in the middle of the night."

I muttered to myself, the people in Liu Ji's family are really weird.

In such a rural area, it is already difficult to find a lady named Qin, but I didn’t expect there would be an Awang who walked without even the sound of footsteps or breathing. It’s really weird!

The master and servant looked at each other, but the information they found proved that there was nothing unusual about Liu Ji's family.

Everyone was born and raised here, and their ancestors have been here for eighteen generations.

"Forget it, let's go to sleep." Qi Xianguan walked into the room. He was looking forward to sleeping on the upper bunk.

Dalang and Erlang had already fallen asleep, leaving the light on in the room for Qi Xianguan.

Shitou closed the door, watched his young master get on the bed, blew out the candle, and then lay down on the lower bunk himself.

You know what, this kind of bed is quite useful for guards like them who need to protect their masters closely at all times.

As soon as you look up, you can see your owner and know every move of the upper bunk. If you encounter danger, you can stop it in the first time, and you can also lie down and rest. It's really wonderful!

Shitou thought to himself, why not wait until the old house is renovated and have the young master build a bunk bed like this. (End of this chapter)
