After finishing my work, I strolled into the detention room of the police station and found that officers No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 were all sleeping.
The "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" was thrown crookedly on the ground, and I couldn't help feeling depressed.
"Oh, you really live a more comfortable life than a little fairy like me!"
Number One heard the noise and fell to his knees. The others, startled awake, followed suit.
Chi Xingyue checked their copying progress and made sure they were not slacking off before snorting coldly.
"See? This is called sweet potato. Take good care of these pots of sweet potatoes for me during this time. When they grow stems and leaves, pick them off and use them as cuttings."
The thugs were completely confused. They didn't know what sweet potatoes were or what cuttings were.
Chi Xingyue could only patiently explain, and only left after making sure they understood.
Number Two looked at the bare flowerpot and asked Number One, "Boss, are we really going to plant sweet potatoes?"
Number One raised his hand and gave Number Two a slap on the face: "Otherwise, do you want to copy books every day?"
Number Two touched his forehead and chuckled, "Who wants to copy books when they can farm? Is that the goblin who's become a vegetarian now?"
Number One was horrified and kicked Number Two aside: "You don't want to live anymore, how dare you make up stories about the little fairy like this?"
Number Two's face changed drastically, and he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times towards the door.
After making sure that Chi Xingyue didn't hear it, he collapsed to the ground covered in sweat.
His eyes fell on the pots of sweet potatoes, and he vowed to grow them into good materials so that he could escape the predicament of having to pick up a pen every day.
Chi Xingyue left the police station and muttered to Ling Jiheng, "If it weren't for the space restrictions, I would have let them out to farm!"
Ling Jiheng raised his hand and ruffled her hair. "Perhaps after a few more levels, they will be able to move freely. By then, with the rules of space in place, we won't have to worry about them devouring our masters."
Chi Xingyue nodded, and enjoyed lying on the lounge chair under the roses with Ling Jiheng for half an hour before leaving the space with Ling Jiheng.
By this time, it was already dark.

The Lantern Festival is here in a blink of an eye. The streets and alleys of Yunrou County are filled with a joyful atmosphere. As usual, a lantern festival will be held on the main street.
This ancient lantern festival has always been a good place for young men and women to express their love.
Lines like "When I look back suddenly, that person is standing in the dim light" and "The moon is above the treetops, and we make an appointment after dusk" are all famous lines passed down from the world before Chi Xingyue traveled through time.
As someone who loves to join in the fun as much as she does, of course she won’t miss tonight’s show.
What's more, I heard that a wealthy family sponsored a batch of fireworks to the county government in order to pray for blessings.
Fireworks and firecrackers are prohibited in modern society, but since she traveled through time, she can see as many as she wants.
The Ling family naturally had the same idea.
Before coming to Youzhou, they were a wealthy family in Jiangning Prefecture.
Every year during the Lantern Festival, not only would they take over half the street, but they would also set up one or two stalls, hang lanterns with riddles on them, and attract talented men and beautiful women to challenge them.
The old lady didn't want to squeeze with the young people, but she really liked this kind of homely atmosphere.
The family booked a private room in a restaurant near the main street and enjoyed delicious food while watching the lights.
Although the map has changed, the Ling family's mentality remains the same.
I booked a room at Ruyi Building early and waited to go there in the evening to join in the fun.
As for this room, it was Ling Jiheng who got it by using tricks.
There are too many families in Youzhou City who are richer and more prestigious than them, and everyone wants to occupy the best position.
Compared with them, the friendship between Ling Jiheng and Manager Peng is nothing.
After discussing with Chi Xingyue, the two of them launched their killing moves.
He promised to sell two hundred roosters, ten boars, and one hundred fish to Ruyilou.
Shopkeeper Peng was overjoyed, or rather, reluctantly rented a private room on the second floor near the main street to the Ling family.
To this end, the two found a dilapidated temple near the county town and released a group of poultry and livestock that had been accustomed to living comfortably in the space.
At that moment, the little animals that felt the cold air exploded, screamed, and tried to run away.
Unfortunately, Ling Jiheng had tied their claws and they could only wail in pain.
Some were even frozen to death.
When Shopkeeper Peng sent someone to take the pigs away, he felt a pang in his heart, fearing that Ling Jiheng had gotten them from somewhere, sick or dead, and he was somewhat reluctant to take them.
Ling Jiheng said bluntly: "There is absolutely no problem with the item. If you have any concerns, we will just pretend we haven't seen it. It doesn't matter."
Such an attitude made Manager Peng feel relieved.
He took a knife and cut open the belly of one of the boars. Seeing the fresh meat and the fat and strong body, he nodded with satisfaction and paid the bill happily.
He also said, "Brother, if I had known you were capable of this, I wouldn't have worried about anything. Can you deliver the goods to the building from now on?"
Ling Jiheng declined politely: "Brother, if I had this ability, wouldn't I have asked you earlier?
This batch of goods was obtained by chance through a caravan we met.
Didn’t you see that pig is listless? It’s frozen!”
Although the excuse was lame, Shopkeeper Peng had no reason not to believe it.
He shook his head with some regret and left with his things.
Ling Jiheng and Chi Xingyue also returned home. They climbed over the wall and broke into the house late at night without disturbing anyone.
"Xingyue, are you ready?" Shu Muyun's voice came from outside the house. Chi Xingyue withdrew his thoughts and checked his clothes again.
An apricot top, a peach pink skirt, and a dark blue cloak.
The cloak was wide and large, able to cover her entire body. Chi Xingyue nodded with satisfaction, came out of the west room, and went to the county with the Ling family.
Only a small group of people were left at home to guard the place, while the Ling family came with a large force, including six ox carts.
The unprecedented scene attracted many people from the village to come out and check it out.
When they learned that they were going to the county to see the lanterns, many families with young people were interested.
After discussing it, they flocked to the county in large groups. Yunrou County was therefore bustling with activity like never before.
The Ling family, driving their carriage, were the first to arrive. They first stopped at Ruyi Tower to rest, then dispersed and went their separate ways.
Ling Jiheng took Chi Xingyue downstairs, and soon it was dark.
The two of them shuttled through the brightly lit streets and alleys, and understood what it meant to "the sound of the phoenix flute moved, the light of the jade pot turned, and the fish and dragons danced all night long."
The street vendors were shouting loudly, and Chi Xingyue took out a few copper coins and bought two strings of candied haws.
The syrup in the candied haws was very thin, and the hawthorns inside were small. When I took a bite, it was sour and astringent, and the core of the fruit even stung my teeth.
Chi Xingyue expressed her inability to accept it, raised her hand and waved, giving the candied haws to the little beggar on the street.
Unexpectedly, the food that seemed so unpalatable to her turned out to be extremely delicious in the eyes of the little beggar.
I saw him carefully licking the syrup on the fruit until it was gone, and he was reluctant to bite the soft fruit.
Chi Xingyue withdrew his gaze and tried other snacks.
There are sesame balls, hawthorn cakes, salted duck eggs, big meat buns...
Chi Xingyue finally chose a stall selling Yuanxiao and ordered two bowls of Yuanxiao, one with peanut filling and one with red bean paste filling.
The proprietress responded with a smile and went to cook Yuanxiao.
A bowl of five Yuanxiao the size of ping-pong balls costs half a tael of silver.
I don’t know if the price has gone up because it’s a holiday today, or if it’s always this expensive.
If she didn't have the space, she really wouldn't be able to afford it.
