Chapter 8 Settlement
The journey was peaceful and safe. As dusk approached, Qin Yi followed the village caravan and arrived at the county town successfully.
This county is called Qinghe County, and it is named after it is close to a big river called Xiaoqinghe.
However, because there are many demons in the rivers in this world and it is difficult to eliminate them and water shipping is difficult to carry out, Qinghe County has not become particularly prosperous because it is close to the river.
Therefore, the county town Qin Yi saw was not as antique as he imagined.
The next day, Qin Yi left the stronghold of Xiaowan Village in the county town, bid farewell to the caravan, and embarked on the road of making a living alone.
He first came to the west of the city and found a slaughterhouse.
A manager in this slaughterhouse named Zhao Dadao, who is a junior brother of Zhang Butcher in Xiaowan Village.
Before Qin Yi left the village, Zhang Butcher Zhang specifically mentioned this matter to Qin Yi and handed him a letter similar to a letter of recommendation.
After some exchanges, Qin Yi successfully joined the slaughterhouse, which can be regarded as finding a job in this county town.
After arguing for a date to come to work, Qin Yi left the slaughterhouse, which was considered as completing the task of finding a job. After that, he began to look for a long-term residence nearby.
Wutongfang, a yard closer to the inner city, is a residential community in modern society.
This place is not too far from the slaughterhouse where Qin Yi works. Qin Yi calculated it himself and it would take about half an hour to walk, which is acceptable.
When he decided to buy a house, the first thing Qin Yi, who came from modern society, thought of was to find an agent.
After searching for it, I soon found a shop in the city that specializes in buying and selling houses.
Under Yaren's introduction, Qin Yi finally chose this place in dozens of workshops in the west of the city.
A young man with spirit and leanness took Qin Yi to the door of a yard in Wutongfang.
He took off a bunch of keys from his arm, and opened the door cleanly and neatly. While pushing the door, he wanted to lead the way inside, he introduced the situation in the yard to Qin Yi.
"This yard is the most suitable for your requirements. It is not too big, but it is full of all organs. It is relatively rare in Wutongfang."
The door, which has been around for some time, slowly opened, with a trace of dust falling from the door, and a small screen wall exposed from behind the door.
The thin young man frowned and quickly slapped the dust in the air with his hands. He turned around and repaid a smile at Qin Yi and said:
"This yard has been empty for a long time. It used to be a small business dealer living here, but later I moved to the village below and the yard was sold to us.
However, this yard is relatively small in Wutongfang. Those who came to Wutongfang to buy houses all liked to buy larger ones, so they have been empty for so long."
When the dust in the air dissipated, the two entered the door and walked around the screen wall. A small yard appeared in front of Qin Yi.
There is a small well, an old tree, and three rooms in the yard.
One of the houses faces north and south, the largest, and the two slightly smaller ones are on the east and west sides.
The inner side of the courtyard wall is painted with white mud, and if there is no dust on it, it will look very neat.
The young man tried hard to introduce this yard to Qin Yi, not only talking about the various advantages of the yard, but also talking about the various inconveniences of the yard without any hesitation.
At the end of the introduction, a price that is not very high in Qin Yi's opinion was given.
Qin Yi thought about the price and had to blame him for being distorted by the housing prices in his previous life.
I decided to buy this yard. Qin Yi followed the young man to the tooth shop and did everything I needed. When I came out of the tooth shop, it was just noon.
After finding a place casually, after lunch, Qin Yi did not rush back to see the house he just bought, but started shopping in the city first.
The city is a place where shops gather in the city. In Qin Yi's opinion, it is somewhat similar to a modern commercial street.
The city has a complete range of products. Qin Yi looked left and right and found the feeling of watching costume TV series before traveling through time from the surrounding scenes.
After walking for a long time, Qin Yi was mostly looking at it and rarely bought anything, but just bought a few brand new door locks, a clean wooden barrel, and some fragmented cloth heads.
He wrote down many shops and planned to clean the house tomorrow and buy some new things.
As he walked, Qin Yi discovered a shop called Guanlan Bookstore, which seemed to be a bookstore selling books.
With curious thoughts, Qin Yi stepped into the door of the bookstore and went in to take a look around.
There is a middle-aged man in the bookstore with a very delicate beard sitting at the counter reading a book, as if he was the owner of the bookstore.
After seeing Qin Yi coming in and looking around, he did not take the initiative to talk, but continued to read his own book, but just dispersed a little of his attention to Qin Yi's movements.
Qin Yi spent a long time in the bookstore and found many various blood-raising skills on a bookshelf.
"Black Tiger Raising Blood", "Rock Raising Blood", "Rock Raising Blood Raising" and "Black Bear Raising Blood Raising"...
In short, it is scattered, placed horizontally and vertically on the bookshelf, with a total of seventeen different exercises.
Near these martial arts techniques, there are various martial arts novels.
Some people are trying to kill demons, some are driving evil spirits, some are heroes, and some are erotic...
Qin Yi picked up a copy of the martial arts and looked through it. He thought it was okay, so he took a copy of all the martial arts, went to the counter, and asked about the price.
The middle-aged man reported a number, but it was not expensive, so Qin Yi paid for it and bought it all.
When Qin Yi turned around and was about to leave, the middle-aged man who was giving the money suddenly asked more:
"I think customers like to collect blood-nourishing techniques. Here I have a special blood-nourishing technique, which is relatively rare. I wonder if the guests are interested in reading it."
Qin Yi had some special ideas when he bought so many different blood-nourishing techniques. At this time, he was naturally interested in watching it.
The middle-aged man got the reply and turned to a bookshelf, stepped on a stool, and took a dusty wooden box from the top of the bookshelf.
After cleaning up the dust, he opened the box, he took out a book with exquisite workmanship from it, with three big words written on the cover of the book:
"Study Diligent Fu"
"This is the blood-raising technique in Qingshan Academy of Great Qi Kingdom. It is said that you only need to recite the words in the book loudly to cultivate qi and blood, which is very magical."
While introducing, the middle-aged man looked at Qin Yi's expression carefully. Seeing that Qin Yi was a little moved, he said again:
"This exercise was specially found by my wife's friend. I also took a lot of effort to get it. In our county, this may be the only one.
It’s a pity that my wife’s friend, the couple, had an accident on the way to the county town and met a demon. Alas… this book has been kept in my hands.”
"No need to say more, I bought it."
...
When he returned home, Qin Yi cleaned the bedroom in the east, took out the wrapped books, and stacked them neatly on the table.
Two or three steps back, Qin Yi quietly looked at the room that had been almost cleaned up.
The orange light of the sunset passed by his shoulders and shone in the room, like covering the furniture in the room with a layer of orange gauze, which made people feel a little warm in their hearts.
Qin Yi nodded and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand:
“Get home.”
