Living in a Siheyuan

Chapter 5: Recruiting 2 employees

Li Pingan didn't go to the kitchen after he came out to the yard. He saw everything in the kitchen clearly with his spiritual sense. There was nothing in it except pots, pans, and some other stove utensils. The stove was also a double-burner stove with firewood, and two iron pots, one large and one small. The cooked food storage room next door was not big, and there were some empty wooden shelves inside. Time stood still here. Put some cooked food in, and it would still be hot when you took it out.

Turning around, he came to the medicinal material storage room and opened the door. There were wooden shelves inside. There was a wooden table in the middle, but there was nothing inside. There were some boxes on the wooden shelves, some wooden boxes and some jade boxes. Li Pingan opened a few of them at random. The medicinal materials inside had probably weathered away long ago. There was only some dust and nothing else. Alas! Nothing can stand the test of time.

Sigh! Li Pingan came to the collection room next door. He was shocked when he opened the door. There were wooden frames all around the room, but two people were sitting cross-legged on the ground in the middle. One man and one woman, wearing ancient clothes. They sat there quietly, with their eyes closed, motionless, like two corpses.

Li Pingan looked at the two bodies carefully. The man was about thirty years old, with a resolute face and a very capable look. The woman had delicate features and looked like a beautiful girl from a small family. She was probably in her twenties. She gave people a very peaceful feeling.

After observing the two, Li Pingan stretched out the finger he had bitten open and smeared the blood on the forehead of the male "corpse". As the blood was absorbed into the forehead and disappeared, the male "corpse" suddenly opened his eyes. Then he sat for a while before looking at Li Pingan. Li Pingan was frightened and took a step back. Although he knew that this man had no ill will towards him, seeing those eyes still shocked him.

As he retreated, the male "corpse" slowly stood up. It looked a little stiff, probably because it had not moved for a long time. After it stood up, it moved its mouth a few times, and then slowly said: "Thank you, master, for waking me up. I will follow your instructions in everything."

Li Pingan asked: "Do you remember how long you have been here? Do you remember your name?"

The male "corpse" thought about it slowly and replied slowly: "Master, I don't remember anything about the past, and I don't know how long I have been here. As for my name, please give it to me."

Li Pingan looked at the body and recalled what was introduced in the jade slip. These were two puppets that the great senior had spent a lot of money to ask someone to refine. In order to take good care of this space, he spent a lot of natural materials and treasures to ask his friends to refine two foundation-building puppets. These two puppets have the ability to manage space, such as spiritual control, teleportation in space, etc. They can also be taken out to move around. Usually, they are no different from real people, but they will always be loyal to the owner of this space. Only the owner of this space can wake them up and tell them to do things.

According to the introduction in the jade slip, this man is very experienced in planting and breeding, and the woman is also very good at growing vegetables and cooking. In this way, the space can be safely handed over to them to take care of in the future, which is very good, very considerate, my friend! !

She turned to the man and said, "From now on, you can be called Lu Dehua. How about I call you Huazai?"

Lu Dehua was almost done with his movements at this moment, and his speech became much more fluent. He replied, "I will follow the master's orders in everything."

Li Pingan was very satisfied. Any boss would be happy to have such loyal and hardworking employees who don't ask for salary. Moreover, these two employees don't even eat and work 24 hours a day! Do you think there are others?

After thinking for a while, he said to Lawrence Lu: "Hua Zai, don't call me master anymore. It sounds awkward. Call me young master!"

Lu Dehua bowed to Li Pingan very respectfully and said, "Okay, Master!"

Li Pingan finally found the feeling and felt more relaxed. He then said to Lu Dehua, "I will wake up the other person first. You wait for a while."

Lu Dehua replied: "Okay, Master"

After saying that, he bent down slightly and walked to the door.

Li Pingan came to the female puppet and continued to use the method from last time to smear blood between the female puppet's eyebrows, then stood aside and waited. At the same time, he thought to himself that a lot of blood had been given away today, so he would try to get some delicious food for the puppet tomorrow.

Not long after, the female puppet also recovered. She came to Li Ping'an and performed an ancient etiquette and said softly: "Thank you, Master, for waking me up. I will obey your orders."

Li Pingan was in a very happy mood at the moment. With these two 100% loyal subordinates, he would be able to enjoy life better in the future.

He said to the female puppet: "From now on, you will be called Liu Mi, and I will call you Mi Mi. You can also call me Master like Hua Zai."

Liu Mi bowed to Li Ping'an again and said, "Mi Mi will follow the young master's instructions."

Li Pingan laughed and said, "You two should stretch your bodies first and get used to it. I'll wait for you two outside."

After saying that, he walked out of the room and stood in the yard to sort out the "Eternal Spring Art" in his mind again. He wanted to try to practice the technique, but he couldn't find any meridians in his body. It seemed that he had to eat the peach fruit and then practice with the red fruit.

After experiencing it for a while, he turned around and saw Lu Dehua and Liu Mi standing behind him. Li Pingan said, "You two probably haven't taken care of this space for a long time. Go get familiar with it first. Hua Zai, you are still responsible for growing food, raising poultry, livestock and pond fish. Mi Mi, you are responsible for the medicine garden, orchard, and vegetable garden. You also need to prepare food for me at any time. You two can see what is missing, and I will find a way to get it back from outside when the time comes."

Lu Dehua and Liu Mi immediately bowed and replied, "Okay, Master."

Then the two figures disappeared. Li Pingan shook his head, it was really too convenient to teleport in this space.

Next, Li Ping'an planned to practice the exercises. Before that, he had to do the preparations.

He went out to check on his house first. It was still dark outside. He didn't know what time it was without a watch. It seemed like a long time in the space, but it was actually only three or four hours. If it was counted outside, it was less than half an hour. He looked back at the bedding on his bed. Because of the busy family affairs recently, it had a bit of smell. After thinking about it, he got up, turned on the weak light in the room, found the soap and tools for washing the bedding, and went into the space with the bedding.

Standing in the yard and facing the empty space, he said: "Mi Mi, come back now, I have something to tell you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Mi appeared in front of him.

Then Li Pingan said: "Take apart these beddings, wash them and dry them. I will use them when I go out."

Liu Mi immediately took the things and said, "Master, please rest assured. I will finish washing them in a moment, and then I will use fire skills to dry them for you."

When Li Pingan heard this, he was shocked. He thought, "Wow, you have to use Gong method to dry the bedding after washing it. This is really out of line."

He quickly said, "I'm not in a hurry, just take your time. If using the technique has an impact on you two, try to use it less in the future." Because Li Pingan knew that there was almost no spiritual energy in the outside world, and it was all maintained by this space magic weapon slowly absorbing the thin spiritual energy from the outside world. All the excess spiritual energy was used to cultivate peaches and red fruits, and the rest was refined into spiritual liquid. So the two of them could not get spiritual energy replenishment.

Liu Mi followed up, "In fact, Master, you don't know that we still have a lot of energy in our bodies. We have been self-isolating for these years and don't need to replenish energy."

Li Pingan said: "That's fine, you two just watch it for yourselves"

After saying that, Li Pingan went outside and looked at the peach tree. The whole tree was leafless, with only a ripe peach hanging on the top branch, which looked as big as an adult's fist and was very tempting.

Li Pingan went to the pharmacy to get a clean jade box, came under the tree and waved at the peach, and the peach on the branch immediately flew into the jade box in Li Pingan's hand. Li Pingan closed the lid and put it in the practice room. He also took a jade box to the red fruit tree, picked a bright red fruit and put it in the jade box, and then closed it and put it in the practice room.

Turning around and coming to the pond, looking at the clear water in the pond, Li Pingan told Liu Mi and Lu Dehua in his mind not to come over. After taking off all his clothes, he jumped into the water and started washing happily. After washing for more than half an hour, he felt relaxed all over and came out. With a thought, the colorful fantasy clothes turned into a bathrobe and he put it on. This is really convenient.
