Chapter 360 Arrangement of Work
An Yan, Yan Qingqiu and the other two returned to their rooms to rest.
Yan Qingqiu was a little worried. After all, he had just had a grudge with the man in the robe. He said, "I hope that man in the black robe won't deliberately cause trouble for us."
"Even if he wants to look for me on purpose, there's nothing we can do." Mei Die said, signaling him not to worry about it anymore, as things were like this anyway.
An Yan also said: "Okay, go to bed early, and wait for me to think of a solution."
"If you want to find out the knot in your heart, you have to go back to the past to look for it." Yan Qingqiu said.
"I think I should go and see for myself what exactly happened at that time. Now I'm just listening to them talking about it, and I don't know whether it's true or not." An Yan said.
"Could what the person said be false?" Mei Die asked. She was a little confused and poured a glass of water, first handed it to An Yan, and then poured a glass for herself.
Yan Qingqiu also sat down and poured water. He said, "Didn't Lingxian also mention this matter? It seems that it is not wrong."
"How many parallel universes there are? Who knows? Maybe there are some misunderstandings, or some other reasons." An Yan expressed her opinion. She took a sip of water and continued, "Besides, memory can be wrong."
"How is this possible? How could memory be wrong?" Yan Qingqiu laughed.
"Then can you remember everything that happened before? Are you sure you won't make any mistakes?" An Yan asked him again.
Upon hearing this, Yan Qingqiu dared not neglect his words any longer. He said, "I don't think I can be sure."
"Since I can't be sure, how can I be sure that there is no mistake at all? I must find a way to enter time and space, go to his time and see for myself whether it is just as they said." An Yan has already planned to do so.
Meidie nodded slightly, as if she understood, and then reminded them: "Let's go to bed, it's already late."
Yan Qingqiu stood up and said, "I'm going back to the house." Then he ran away.
An Yan washed up and went to bed with Mei Die.
As the night deepened, the time in the Dark Moon Realm seemed to be fixed, leaving people with no concept of day or night.
It seemed like I had only slept for a short while when I heard someone knocking on the door.
An Yan became even more alert. She turned over and got off the bed. When she opened the door, she saw the maid from yesterday. She said, "Hey, these are the clothes you and that girl wore. You should change into these clothes and then go to work in the front."
"Okay." An Yan nodded slightly, then took the clothes and went back. Seeing that Meidie had woken up, she rubbed her eyes and asked, "I feel like I just fell asleep, why do you have to get up?"
"It's time to work." An Yan threw one of the clothes to her.
Meidie took a look at it. It was pink and looked quite elegant. She said, "It's not as good as my dress to work in a long skirt."
"Change it. Once you're here, follow the rules to avoid any harm." An Yan told him.
Meimei thought about it and realized what she was saying, so she changed her clothes and got off the bed. She turned around twice and said, "Not bad, it fits me well." Then she looked at An Yan and said, "You look really good in this. But I've noticed that you look good in anything you wear."
An Yan didn't say anything. She picked up the cotton towel and wiped her face. She said, "Wash your face. I'm going to go out and look for Yan Qingqiu to see if he's awake."
Yan Qingqiu naturally got up as well. He also put on the clothes here, an ancient-style men's suit, which was quite handsome. When he saw An Yan coming over, he asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"How can I have eaten? I don't know where to eat. Are you hungry?" An Yan asked him.
"Yeah, a little bit." Yan Qingqiu nodded.
"Okay, I still have some food there. The bread is still edible. Eat some before you go back." An Yan gestured for Yan Qingqiu to go to her room, took out a few loaves of bread, and gave two to Mei Die, saying, "Eat one before you leave."
Yan Qingqiu quickly eliminated three of them, and only then did he feel strong again.
The maid came calling again. She came over and said, "Hey, hurry up, they need to take roll call." Then she threw a coquettish look at Yan Qingqiu and said, "Hey, I didn't even have time to say my name yesterday. My name is Xiaotao."
Yan Qingqiu was stunned at first, then nodded mechanically.
An Yan and the others walked out with the maid and saw that they were being taken to a yard. There was a man in a black robe standing there, and there was another older woman calling out the names.
When she called out Anyan, she said, "New here."
"Yeah." An Yan nodded.
"Everyone who comes here knows that all newcomers will be beaten and whipped. Do you have any objections?" the woman said disdainfully.
"Is this true, or is it just made up because we are here?" Yan Qingqiu said.
"I'll beat you first. You're the one who doesn't follow the rules and deserves a beating." The woman said as she picked up a bamboo stick and hit Yan Qingqiu with it.
An Yan was extremely fast. She had already cast a barrier on Yan Qingqiu and Mei Die, so the whip only fell in the air and could not hurt their skin at all.
This made the woman furious, and she said, "If you're a servant, you should be aware of being a servant. This is no different from rebellion."
An Yanqing said to the woman coldly, "Just hit me, and I'll take theirs too."
The woman looked towards An Yan and reminded her, "Don't play tricks on me."
"Of course not, just hit me." An Yan said indifferently, and looked towards the man in black robe. He seemed to be watching a good show.
The woman became bolder when she heard An Yan's words. She picked up the bamboo stick and started to whip An Yan fiercely. However, she herself cried out in pain, "Ouch, it hurts! Who is whipping me?"
"You are the only one hitting people here, who would dare to hit you?" An Yan said calmly, thinking that the people who can hit themselves have not been born yet, and you, an ordinary person, should not be able to hurt yourself at all.
The woman turned around, and she was so angry that she hit An Yan again, causing her to fall to the ground in pain. She said, "Oh, I'm possessed! I'm possessed!"
The black-robed man lifted the woman up with his palm and said, "Alright, let's arrange the work."
Yan Qingqiu and Mei Die both raised the corners of their mouths slightly, as if they were smiling.
The woman touched her body and said, "The rest of you continue working as usual. The three of you go to the pond and pick up all the jade artifacts. Don't leave any behind."
"What exactly are they?" Yan Qingqiu asked.
"Pearl necklaces, agate rings, jade cups, and so on," the woman said proudly, pointing to the moon in the sky. "Do you see the moon? When it's full, it's time to finish the work. But if you don't finish anything, you'll be punished. You won't be allowed to eat dinner or sleep."
An Yan said, "Okay."
Then, everyone dispersed.
The man in black robe walked up to An Yan and said, "You'd better leave as soon as possible. If you don't do your job well, you will be punished."
"What punishment?" Yan Qingqiu asked indifferently.
"A new city is being built in the southwest, southwest, and north. Moving stones there is hard work." The man in black robe told them frankly, and then said, "These are not ordinary stones. They weigh thousands of pounds. Each piece is infused with energy. They are the oldest stones." After saying this, he waved his sleeves and left.
Meidie said, "I'm so sad. My butterflies are almost useless. Otherwise it would be much easier to use them to pick up things from the bottom of the pond."
