198 Chapter 172-house haunted (1)
At night, Song Qing, who had successfully sent the death row prisoners to be reincarnated, prepared to go downstairs to find food with dark circles under his eyes.
As he walked, he thought,’no, grafting can be used on the human body. For example, damaged organs can be replaced.
“Then, can you be more subtle? For example, regrowing a broken limb … this was a unique ability of a rank three martial artist. If I can study the mysteries of alchemy, the world will be shaken.
“Xu ningyan said that biological alchemy should be something more subtle … However, the human eye could not see those tiny things … I can make something similar to a telescope.”
Telescopes did exist, and after the discovery of glass, convex mirrors were developed soon after. Binoculars were quite common in the Army and were usually given to ordinary soldiers.
Elite Scouts rarely used it, because after reaching the Qi refining realm, a warrior’s vision would be greatly improved. The stronger one was, the stronger one’s five senses would be. The telescope seemed to be of little value.
“Where is the fragrance coming from?” Song Qing sniffled.
He followed the fragrance and walked towards the kitchen downstairs. He saw that Yan Caiwei was ordering a few white-clothed people around and cooking something in a pot.
“Oh, there’s even chicken soup. Junior Sister Caiwei is so thoughtful.” When Song Qing saw the chicken stew in the small stove, his mood became better.
“Go, go, go.” “This is the alchemy technique that Xu Qi ‘an taught me. If I succeed, I can spread delicious food all over the world,” said Yan Caiwei.
After listening to Yan Caiwei explain the theory behind the chicken essence and MSG, Song Qing muttered to himself and sighed, “”Xu ningyan is truly a wondrous person.”
Yes, this was also alchemy.
He had extracted the essence from medicinal herbs to form pills, purified iron from ores to make weapons, and now, he had extracted the umami from mushrooms to make MSG.
It was the same as the knowledge he had learned during the first class.
Alchemy contained many fields, and the profound meaning was to extract things that couldn’t be seen.
I don’t have a clue about the MSG’s because he didn’t provide the process. He only briefly said that it’s far away and that it’s extracted from grains. Yan Caiwei said.
“Senior brother will help you.” Song Qing patted Yan Caiwei’s head.
….
The renovation of the new house was completed two days in advance. Xu Qi ‘an asked for leave from the Yamen to help his second uncle and aunt move.
Dressed in a dark green silk robe and a coat of the same color, her aunt had one hand on her waist and the other waving a handkerchief. She was like a general leading an Army in battle, commanding the servants to carry things.
If this attitude was changed to a woman with mediocre looks, she would appear to be full of the air of a marketplace, making people dislike her.
However, if it was a 36-year-old aunt who had taken care of herself like a young woman in her early thirties, with a beautiful and exquisite face and a curvaceous and graceful figure, she would be a beautiful scenery.
Xu Qi ‘an wondered if the beautiful girl beside her would be as charming as her mother in 20 years.
Or even better.
‘Sigh, lingyue is already at the marriageable age. I wonder which guy is lucky enough to marry such a beautiful girl …’ Xu Qi ‘an sighed and said that a grown woman could not be kept at home. He and his second uncle worked as porters.
Because they had hired enough carriages, it only took two trips to finish moving the things in the residence. There were a few miscellaneous items that she planned to buy in the inner city, and she could use this opportunity to get new ones.
His aunt and second uncle were the elders, even though Xu Qi ‘an had bought the house. The main house on the east side was left for the two of them to live in.
When they were distributing the rooms, the usually gentle Xu lingyue had a rare quarrel with her aunt.
The house with three entrances was very large, but the rooms in the core inner courtyard were limited. The master would not live in the guest rooms and the areas for the servants.
According to her aunt, the row of rooms in The West Wing belonged to Xu Qi ‘an. After all, he was going to get married in the future.
But Xu lingyue had to be thick-skinned and stay there, living next to her big brother.
Auntie would say that a big girl like you still lived so close to her brother. You don’t know shame.
Xu lingyue suddenly became anxious and argued loudly, even arguing with her mother.
In the end, she also lived in The West Wing, but her aunt arranged Erlang’s room in The West Wing as well. She had discussed with Xu Qi ‘an that when he had a wife in the future, they would let lingyue live in the north wing, just like Erlang.
Xu Qi ‘an was a little reluctant, because if they lived too close to each other, his sister would find out that he did not return to the school at night. When the time came, he would have to complain.
Xu lingying was arranged to stay in the uncle and aunt’s room. Children were more sensitive to their beds and environment. The aunt was afraid that the young girl would not sleep well at night and have nightmares.
Anyway, the east wing was particularly large, with three rooms in a row.
Xu Qi ‘an finished decorating his room very quickly. His original small courtyard had almost no decorations, so there was not much that needed to be decorated.
He walked out of the room to bask in the sun and saw Xu lingying squatting by the well alone. Her face was pale from fear, but she was trying her best not to run away.
“What are you doing?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
“Big brother …” Seeing his powerful big brother come over, Xu lingying felt relieved. He pointed to the well with some fear.”This place is haunted.”
“So, what are you doing by the well?” Xu Qi ‘an found it hard to understand.
Since she knew that it was haunted, shouldn’t she be afraid and hide far away? Why did he have to squat by the well, and still be afraid while persevering?
“My sister said that ghosts only eat children’s food.” Xu Lingyin frowned.
“And then?”
She suddenly became sneaky and jogged over, whispering, “”I’m tricking it to come out. Don’t let it hear you.”
