Chapter 61 The group of craftsmen led by Qin Ren…
The group of craftsmen that Qin Ren led had no idea what Qin Ren was up to, let alone that he wanted to make cement.
When they saw that Qin Ren was building a house and had a whole bunch of complicated requirements, many of the craftsmen thought he was really troublesome.
They didn't dare to express their dissatisfaction with Qin Ren to his face, and only dared to complain to their close friends in private.
For example, right now, an old craftsman is saying to his apprentice, "This lord is really difficult to please."
Upon hearing this, the apprentice chimed in, "Yes, one minute they want this, the next minute they want that? And they insist on building the house so high, how can it be stable?"
They also have buildings here, but most of them are earthen buildings, wooden buildings, or bamboo buildings.
There are very few brick or stone buildings.
Even if they exist, most of them are not very tall, usually around two or three stories high.
This marquis had many demands, and the house he built was quite strange.
Other high-ranking officials and nobles built their mansions as big and extravagantly as possible.
His house wasn't required to be particularly large, but it was much more complex than the previous houses.
The old craftsman said, "Yesterday, while we were building, he suddenly wanted limestone. Today, while we were building, he suddenly wanted to add red clay. It feels like he's not building a house, but just playing around with us. If it weren't for the high wages he pays, I honestly wouldn't want to do this job anymore."
Apprentice: "Master, it's hard to find work these days, but we still have to do this."
"I know, okay, that's enough. It's fine to talk about it privately, but you can't tell anyone else."
"Yes, Master, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
He only dared to talk about it with his master; he wouldn't dare utter a single word about anyone else.
After all, they were talking about the Marquis. If the news accidentally reached his ears, they would be in deep trouble.
About half a month later, Qin Ren finally had time to return to the modern world.
He plans to go back himself and move the bronze door to J City.
After that, Liu Qingyue will be able to go get vaccinated more often.
Furthermore, big cities are more prosperous and convenient than small cities. Some things don't even need to be delivered; you can buy them locally.
If Qin Ren moves the bronze door over sooner, Liu Qingyue can go to J City more often.
It's much more convenient for him to eat or buy whatever he wants compared to living in a small county town.
It took Qin Ren six days to get back this time.
The movable copper door only took one day; the remaining five days were mainly for him to furnish his new home.
The new house should be like the one in the county town, with a separate room for the copper door.
There is more than one key to the bronze door; Qin Ren has one, and Liu Qingyue has another.
If someone else in ancient times had the key, it would be very dangerous to leave the bronze door in their house.
Qin Ren had already reminded Liu Qingyue of this, and Liu Qingyue naturally knew the seriousness of the matter.
Also, the locks on the door of the new house in J City need to be replaced, and some furniture, appliances, and other items need to be purchased.
This house is a second-hand house. When they bought the house before, Qin Ren didn't take anything from inside.
Qin Ren found things that others had used inconvenient to use.
If he had more time, he would honestly prefer to buy a new house rather than a second-hand one.
After everything was changed, Qin Ren took Liu Qingyue back to the modern world.
He showed Liu Qingyue the layout of the new house and also showed her around the area.
Their new home isn't in the city center, but it's not too far from it either.
It's about a ten-minute drive.
There is a park next to my new apartment complex, and there is a lake in the park.
Further into the suburbs, there's another mountain.
The scenery here is beautiful, and the air is fresh; it's much more comfortable than living in the city.
In addition to these, there is a small supermarket and a private clinic within 500 meters of the community.
The larger supermarkets are across the street.
As for the hospital, there is a small one here, but it's a bit far from the residential area, about two kilometers away.
Qin Ren led Liu Qingyue on a tour so that she could learn more about the area.
If Qin Ren doesn't have time to accompany him in the future, he can come and buy things by himself.
...
The new home is a penthouse.
It's over 200 square meters in total, with a small balcony on the top floor.
When Qin Ren brought Liu Qingyue over, the two of them stayed here for one night.
Liu Qingyue wanted to see the night view here, and now that she finally had the chance, she wanted to stay and take a good look.
As for why he brought Qin Ren along, it was mainly because he was unfamiliar with the new home and was a little scared to come and live there alone.
Once she became familiar with her new home, Liu Qingyue was no longer so afraid.
The new house has two doors at the entrance. The first is the main door, which has a camera and is a convenient fingerprint lock.
If you walk in from the front door, there are about four steps to another iron gate.
This door was newly installed by Qin Ren; the iron gate allows you to see inside, and you can also see outside from the inside.
The four steps outside are mainly used to store things like shoe cabinets and parcel lockers.
Sometimes we have to wait for takeout or send a package.
This allows the gate to be opened in advance, so delivery drivers and food couriers can deliver items without seeing the person.
Of course, cameras should be installed in this area to make it safer.
Also, Qin Ren brought Bianbian from his hometown with him.
Although Bianbian is a mongrel, Qin Ren and Liu Qingyue both love it very much.
Wherever they go, they take Bianbian with them.
Bianbian is now a big dog, and with it staying in the new home, Liu Qingyue feels much more at ease when she comes over.
When Qin Ren saw that they had a big dog, the installer automatically guessed the reason when he asked someone to come and install the iron gate.
They think the iron gate was installed specifically for the dog, probably to prevent it from frightening people when they come to the house.
Bianbian is quite large now; it must have mixed blood with other large dogs. It's now about the size of a sheep.
Qin Ren thought it was cute to look at the flat thing, but to outsiders it was a bit ugly and a bit scary.
Once, when Liu Qingyue came over, he bought Bianbian a treadmill.
He and Qin Ren couldn't come back often, so naturally they couldn't take it running.
Flat-faced dog was bored at home, so Liu Qingyue bought it a treadmill.
Since treadmills are quite large, couriers won't leave them at the courier station; they'll need to deliver them to your door.
On the day the package arrived, Liu Qingyue returned to the modern world early to wait.
Then, when the deliveryman arrived, he was startled by the enormous, flat thing.
Fortunately, Bianbian was inside the iron gate, while the deliveryman was outside.
A dog and a person gaze at each other.
When Liu Qingyue let the deliveryman in, he clearly hesitated.
Deliveryman: "Does this dog bite?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyue found a rope and tied Bianbian up.
He didn't lock Bianbian in any other room because he was home alone today.
For his own safety, he could only leave Bianbian here with him, so he had to make the deliveryman suffer a little.
After the treadmill was installed, Liu Qingyue saw the deliveryman off and then closed the main gate and the iron gate.
Liu Qingyue returned to the living room and began teaching Bianbian how to use the treadmill.
To be honest, he himself didn't know how to use it very well, let alone teach Bianbian how to use it.
Liu Qingyue thought that she might as well go up and try it first.
Then, while Liu Qingyue was reading the instructions and trying it out, she was pretending to teach Bianbian.
Bianbian, who was originally listening attentively to the lecture, suddenly turned his head and shouted towards the second floor.
Bianbian doesn't like to bark much; it only barks when there are people or small animals outside.
When the deliveryman came earlier, before he even got to their door, Bianbian started barking.
When Liu Qingyue saw it start to bark inexplicably, not towards the front door, but looking up at the stairs, she suddenly felt a little flustered for some reason.
Liu Qingyue whispered, "Bianbian, what are you yelling about?"
When Bianbian heard him speak, she turned around and glanced at him before rushing upstairs.
Liu Qingyue did not follow immediately, but instead found a weapon for self-defense downstairs.
He wasn't holding a stun gun, but a composite bow.
The stun gun is a close-range weapon, and its use carries some risk.
To ensure his safety, he chose a composite bow.
This bow and arrow is very powerful. Even though it looks small, it is actually more lethal than many bows.
Liu Qingyue's aim wasn't great, but he dared to use the composite bow as a weapon mainly because he knew where the danger came from.
Both the small balcony and the windows on the second floor of their house have safety railings.
There's nowhere further up to get into their house.
The only way to get in is through the front door downstairs.
There were two doors to the front door, and Liu Qingyue had been waiting downstairs the whole time, so he didn't notice anyone at all.
Therefore, Liu Qingyue felt that the problem was most likely with the bronze door.
There must have been a stranger who came into their house through the bronze door, otherwise Bianbian wouldn't be reacting like this.
There was a problem with the bronze door; it was locked behind two doors.
Since Liu Qingyue couldn't get close enough to use the stun gun, this ranged weapon was more suitable for her.
Even if he accidentally misses, the other side won't be able to hurt him.
He has enough time to slowly nock another arrow and shoot it again.
Liu Qingyue picked up her weapon and then carefully walked upstairs.
Ever since Qin Ren told him that there might be others who possessed the bronze key, they stopped leaving valuables in the passageway.
He had previously left the betrothal money given by Qin Ren in the passageway. Now they have moved to a new home with many rooms.
Liu Qingyue then placed the betrothal money and some valuables in the room upstairs.
Upstairs, one room was his, and the other was Qin Ren's.
His silver and valuables were kept together, while Qin Ren's valuables were kept in another room.
Seeing that Bianbian kept barking at the room with the bronze door, Liu Qingyue mustered up her courage and pushed open the door to that room.
After pushing open the door, Liu Qingyue saw no suspicious people through the iron bars.
However, he did not let his guard down, nor did he immediately enter the iron fence and then pass through the bronze gate into the passage.
If someone really did come here, they might still be in the passageway.
Also, if someone else does have the bronze key and uses it to open the passage, the portal will definitely be refreshed.
Liu Qingyue cannot go there now, or she could easily be teleported to another place.
Liu Qingyue waited outside the iron fence for a while, and seeing that Bianbian had stopped barking at the bronze door inside, she then led Bianbian downstairs.
When he came down, he made sure to lock all the doors upstairs.
He made up his mind; he would stay here and wait for Qin Ren.
He came back today to pick up a package.
If he doesn't go back, Qin Ren will definitely worry about him and will naturally come back to find him.
As for whether Qin Ren will encounter danger?
Qin Ren had discussed it with him beforehand, and if he encountered any special circumstances, he just needed to stay at home and wait.
When Qin Ren noticed that he hadn't returned, he would be extra careful when he came here.
Modern society is governed by law, so it is generally difficult to encounter danger.
Especially since Liu Qingyue rarely leaves home, if he comes here and doesn't go back, it's very likely that there's something wrong with the bronze door.
When Qin Ren returns, you'll notice that he's a grown man with formidable fighting skills.
If there really were outsiders in the passage, Qin Ren could easily deal with them given his combat prowess.
But Liu Qingyue is different. Liu Qingyue looks like a man, but he is actually a young man.
Even though he has exercised occasionally, he is still somewhat inferior to men in terms of physical strength.
If they had to face danger, Qin Ren felt it would be safer for him to do so.
Therefore, Liu Qingyue was very obedient and did not act impulsively. He was not a powerful young man and did not have any great abilities.
As long as he doesn't hold Qin Ren back, it's a good thing for Qin Ren.
Liu Qingyue never returned, and Qin Ren initially thought she was engrossed in playing video games in the modern world.
Later, realizing it was late at night, he didn't ask for it back.
Qin Ren frowned and decided to go back and check the situation.
He carried a dagger and a stun gun, and silently entered the passage.
Qin Ren walked slowly, trying to keep his breathing as soft as possible.
As soon as he entered, he noticed something was wrong. The usually clean and odorless passageway was filled with a faint smell of blood.
Although the taste was very mild, Qin Ren still noticed it keenly.
Qin Ren quickly spotted someone, a man who was seriously injured and looked to be in bad shape.
The man had lost too much blood and was unconscious. He was lying in the middle of the passage with his eyes closed.
Seeing this, Qin Ren did not let his guard down, but instead found a rope and tied the person up.
Seeing that the other party had no reaction, he then started walking towards the modern area.
Qin Ren went downstairs and saw Liu Qingyue playing games while holding Bianbian.
Liu Qingyue looked up when she heard the noise, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Qin Ren.
Liu Qingyue: "Husband, you've finally arrived."
Qin Ren asked him, "Were you scared?"
"I wasn't really scared, I didn't even meet him face to face. I noticed that he was mainly flat-faced, and when flat-faced suddenly started yelling upstairs, I guessed that there was danger upstairs. Later, I followed flat-faced upstairs, and by the time I opened the door, the person had already left."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ren praised Bianbian, "Bianbian did a great job. I'll bring you a big meal next time I come back."
Bianbian didn't know if it could understand, but it just wagged its tail at Qin Ren without thinking.
Qin Ren: "Let's go, let's go to the ancient times first and deal with that person."
The man was still alive; he wanted to find out where he came from.
You should also ask him if he has a key, and how many of those keys he has.
