Chapter 406: Zhuge Liang's Seven Captures of Granny Liu

The first time we traveled into the book, we were a little nervous.

After all, the backgrounds of these four masterpieces are very different. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin are both in turmoil, with warring princes or bandits fighting each other. Journey to the West is even more so. When thinking of so many monsters, the four people really feel a little powerless. In comparison, Dream of the Red Chamber is good, at least there are no monsters.

Luo Jiu looked at the courtyard behind him. It was neither big nor small. There were three main rooms, five side rooms, a well and a stove. The bedding on the kang was new, five sets in total.

Luo Jiu couldn't help but chuckle, "It seems that this is a gift from the system. Don't worry about changing the plot for now. Let's clean up this place and settle down first."

So Cheng Yaoyao took out laundry detergent, soap, rags and other cleaning tools from the space, Feng Qi pressed a tank of clear well water, and everyone started cleaning together.

Luo Jiu was afraid that his family would worry about him, so he entered the space. Just as he was about to write a note, his grandmother came in.

The old man was a worrier. When he heard that they had found a house, he couldn't help but nag, "When you go to bed at night, make sure to close the doors and windows tightly. When you use the stove in the house, remember to leave a gap to be careful of poisoning. That little so-and-so from someone's family used the stove without any ventilation and died when he was sent to the hospital. They said it was... carbon monoxide poisoning."

Luo Jiu held her forehead silently. Her grandma asked her to close the doors and windows tightly, let the room ventilate, reminded her to heat up the kang to remove the moisture, and said that the kang should not be too hot otherwise she would be unable to sleep in the middle of the night.

Luo Jiu had no choice but to explain: "It's spring where we are. Everything is reviving. It's not cold at all. Don't worry."

Grandma curled her lips and said, "If I had known earlier, I should have followed you. At least I could cook for you and clean up the house."

"Oh grandma, we can clean up by ourselves. If you miss us, we will come in to accompany you." Luo Jiu hugged his grandma and coaxed the old child. When Luo Jiu went out again, the room had changed.

The bedroom was clean and tidy, with a smooth kang bed, clean bedding, and new sheets and quilt covers.

Fubao cut some branches and was heating the kang.

All the daily utensils such as cups, kettles, pots, pans, etc. were taken out.

A new stove and gas tank were placed in the kitchen, and Cheng Yaoyao was preparing to start cooking.

Luo Jiu set up a small generator, pulled a piece of wire, and installed a light in the house.

After Feng Qi reinforced the doors and windows of the courtyard house, he thought about it and dug a toilet in a corner of the courtyard wall.

Luo Jiu: "Why are you digging a toilet? We can go to the space to relieve ourselves."

Feng Qi chuckled, "How strange is that? When outsiders see that our yard is bright and spacious, but there is no toilet, they think this family has no manners and poops everywhere. How can such a well-equipped farmyard not have a toilet?"

Luo Jiu looked down from the roof, and saw fog all around. This place was separated from the distant mountains by fog and woods, as if there was an invisible barrier. She was a little skeptical, could outsiders enter this small courtyard?

But since Feng Qi was going to build a toilet, she pulled the electrical wires over and installed a switch to prevent anyone from falling into the pit when going to the toilet at dark.

After a busy period, we finally had dinner in our new home. The first thing we did after dinner was to attend the evening class together, reading the four famous novels, cramming overnight, and preparing for going down the mountain tomorrow.

Luo Jiu pulled out a blackboard and said, "Please raise your hands if you know the original plot."

Only Cheng Yaoyao raised her hand decisively, "I have read the original novel."

Zhong Jialing asked weakly, "Does watching the TV series mean you understand it?"

Luo Jiu: "Have you watched the TV series adapted from the Four Great Classics?"

Zhong Jialing: "I have only read Journey to the West. I haven't read all the others. I have a general understanding of them."

Feng Qi: "I have also read Journey to the West, and I know a little bit about other stories, such as the Three Brothers of Peach Garden."

Fu Bao: "I have watched "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" and the "Investiture of the Gods" series."

Luo Jiu couldn't help but remind her: "You've missed the point. Although there are characters like Erlang Shen and Nezha in Investiture of the Gods, its original work is called Investiture of the Gods."

Fu Bao was dumbfounded. "Ah? Well, I was busy fighting before, so I didn't read many famous books, but I can recite "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital"."

Feng Qi was unwilling to be left behind. "Being able to recite "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital" also counts as understanding the characters? If that's the case, then I also understand all of these characters."

Zhong Jialing asked in surprise: "Where did you know this? You slept the most in history class when you were in school, and you got zero points in the literature knowledge fill-in-the-blank test. I at least got two correct answers."

Feng Qi said confidently: "I know them from the Canyon of Kings. I am familiar with Lü Bu, Diao Chan, Sima Yi, Cao Cao, and I even have a small national standard of Guan Yu."

Luo Jiu quickly stopped him, "Stop talking nonsense. Game characters have no reference value. Film and television adaptations also have many differences from the originals. Let's start with the originals now."

She gave a set of books to Feng Qi, Zhong Jialing and Fu Bao respectively and asked them to read them first.

There are too many characters in the four great classics and the plots are complicated. Luo Jiu stepped aside and prepared to make a blacklist and a whitelist, marking dangerous people and special events to prevent people from stepping on landmines.

Cheng Yaoyao said, "I'll go prepare some clothes for tomorrow's outing. Our current clothes are too modern and too eye-catching."

Luo Jiu thought for a while and said, "First, we will prepare one set for each person as an emergency measure. We will go down the mountain to buy ready-made ones tomorrow."

The two of them were busy with their own things, the sewing machine was still running, and snoring sounds could be heard.

Luo Jiu didn't need to look up to know who it was. She called out loudly, "Sister Qi."

"Hey~" Feng Qi woke up suddenly and stood up from the table in a daze.

Luo Jiu smiled and asked, "Which chapter have you read?"

Feng Qi flipped through two pages randomly, but couldn't find the title for a while.

Zhong Jialing whispered, "Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times."

Fubao also reminded quietly: "As soon as Granny Liu entered Rongguo Mansion."

The two of them were talking at the same time, Feng Qi was confused, "See... I saw Zhuge Liang capture Granny Liu seven times."

There was a burst of laughter in the room. Luo Jiu said: "This old lady is hard to catch."

Cheng Yaoyao suppressed her laughter and said jokingly, "It's not bad. It didn't mention Lin Daiyu uprooting a weeping willow tree or Sun Wukong beating Qin Keqing three times. This is not too chaotic."

Luo Jiu looked up at the golden full moon in the night sky and said, "I hope it's not that messy."

Everyone slept well the night before, and after breakfast the next day, everyone changed their clothes and prepared to go out.

Cheng Yaoyao made a purse for each person and put some change in it. Luo Jiu also put the brocade bag he made last night in it and let everyone wear it.

Their courtyard is halfway up the mountain. It is not particularly steep and it only takes about ten minutes to walk to the foot of the mountain.

The mountain was surrounded by a forest shrouded in thick fog. Luo Jiu hurriedly said, "I don't know what the situation is inside. Everyone, don't get separated."

The five people walked hand in hand for another five minutes, and suddenly the view in front of them became clear. Fu Bao pointed to the market not far away and said excitedly: "Look! We are here, where is this?"

Everyone's eyes lit up with joy, "Let's go and take a look."
