Chapter 45 Pretending to be a ghost
When I woke up again, it was already bright day.
The dental office was quite efficient, all formalities had been completed, and Gu Xi's family could move in.
Although the new house is not as grand as General Gu’s mansion, it is more cozy.
The family set off firecrackers in a lively atmosphere, officially moved in, and had a meal.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Ren brought people over.
As soon as Mrs. Ren received Qi's letter yesterday, she started looking for candidates.
"Lan'er, these four servants are all from the military camp and are quite skilled. Do you think they can do it?"
Qi and Gu Xi were both very satisfied with this.
"Xiangjun, your arrangement must be correct. Thank you so much."
Madam Ren pretended to be angry and said:
"If you keep being polite to me, I'll get angry. I see you don't have any maids or servants here, do you need me to help you find a few more?"
Qi said:
"I don't need it for now. My house is small and can't accommodate too many people. When I need it, I will definitely ask you."
The two best friends sat together and chatted again, as if they had endless things to talk about in their lifetime.
Nanny Yun was originally going to settle the four servants, but Gu Xi said:
"Mammy, I'll go. I have some things to tell you."
Nanny Yun nodded: "Okay, I'll go make some tea and snacks for the two ladies."
The four servants are all retired veterans. Gu Xi is going to join the army and wants to ask them for some information.
From them, Gu Xi found out that there had been no wars and no large-scale conscription in the past two years. If one wanted to join the Northwest Army, he needed to take part in the military camp assessment.
The assessment is also relatively simple, mainly focusing on physical fitness. The questions are random and may require running a few laps, or demonstrating force, or randomly picking someone in the army to fight.
After becoming qualified soldiers, they lived in tents with ten people in a room.
Only centurions and above can have their own tent.
The promotion mechanism of the Northwest Army is that ordinary soldiers can challenge the sergeant and be promoted to sergeant after success.
A platoon leader can challenge a squad leader. If he succeeds, he can replace him and become the squad leader.
But if they fail, they will be demoted to ordinary soldiers.
A squad leader can challenge a centurion and take his place if successful. If he fails, he will be demoted one level and become a sergeant.
However, a centurion cannot challenge a thousand-man commander. A thousand-man commander can be called a general, which requires not only military strength but also strategy and management skills. One can basically only get to this position through military merit.
This mechanism is quite fierce. No wonder the Chu Army in the Northwest is as famous as General Gu.
Gu Xi felt that for convenience, she had to become a centurion. Otherwise, it would be too inconvenient to live in a tent with a bunch of men.
And she has to travel back and forth between the two worlds.
After Madam Ren left, Gu Xi and Qi took Gu Yuan to a school closer to home. After inspecting it, they found the environment and the teachers were good, so they paid the tuition and Gu Yuan could start attending school.
After a busy day, the family finally settled down.
It has been three months since the Gu family was exiled, and they finally have a home again.
During dinner, Gu Xi quietly put a sleeping pill in the soup, which not only allowed the whole family to have a good sleep, but also facilitated her actions tonight.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Gu Xi quietly slipped into Qi's room and hid under the bed.
She operated the projector, and the video she had filmed with Xu Pingjun flashed on the white wall opposite Qi's bed.
The background is filled with floating white mist and undulating mountains, like a fairyland.
A general, wearing armor and holding a long sword, stood in a place surrounded by fairy air. The whole person seemed both blurry and real.
"Madam, madam." His deep voice was ethereal, like an echo.
Qi was awakened by the shouting.
At first, he looked in astonishment at the person standing in mid-air on the opposite wall.
Then she immediately rushed over, but could only touch a cold white wall.
"Husband, husband, are you back?"
"Madam, it's me. I'm already among the immortals now, so you don't have to worry about me."
"Husband!" Qi cried and looked at the figure in the air, "You finally appeared in my dream."
"Ma'am, I don't have much time to meet with you, so listen to me."
Qi said repeatedly: "Husband, you talk, I listen."
The figure in the air continued:
"Madam, my father and I died unjustly. Although we are now among the immortals, the resentment in our hearts cannot be resolved. If this resentment remains, the immortal roots will be unstable, so we need your help. Yuan'er is still young, and now only Xi'er can take on the responsibility. We need her to join the army. My father and I in heaven will bless her to turn danger into safety and turn disaster into good fortune, so that she can make a name for herself. Then, she will have the strength to avenge us."
Qi was still hesitant at first, but thinking that Gu Xi had the blessing of his grandfather and father, he should be fine, so he nodded repeatedly and said:
"Okay, I'll listen to my husband. Can you tell me who our enemies are? Is it Zhou Qing?"
Huh? Zhou Qing? Gu Xi, who was lying on the bed, was stunned.
Isn't Zhou Qing a good official? The famous Zhou Qingtian.
Why did my mother mention her?
There was no such answer in the pre-recorded video. The last sentence came from the voice in the air:
"Madam, I can't stay here for long. I'm leaving now. Please take care of yourselves."
Then, the picture froze and Gu Xi quickly turned off the projector.
Qi's eyes suddenly went dark and she could not see anything. She looked around blankly and cried out to the sky:
"Husband, please don't go, please don't go. You haven't told me who my enemies are yet. I still have a lot to say to you, husband..."
Qi cried so miserably that Gu Xi couldn't bear to listen to her.
But she didn't dare to move, for fear of being discovered by Qi and all her efforts would be wasted.
After a long time, Qi lay on the ground without making any sound.
Gu Xi hurried over and found that Qi had fainted from crying.
She carried Qi to the bed, covered her with a quilt, and quietly slipped out.
Then Gu Xi returned to his room and fell asleep quickly.
Gu Xi was worried today. He wanted to know the effect of the video as soon as possible, so he felt that the working hours were so long.
Finally, after getting off work, Gu Xi hurried home, had a simple dinner, and lay on the bed waiting to travel through time.
However, the more she tried to fall asleep, the more she couldn't.
After counting sheep for a long time, I still feel energetic.
Alas, we really can’t underestimate our biological clock. After all, it’s only eight o’clock in the evening, so it’s normal not to be able to sleep.
She could only get up again, turn on the bedside lamp, pick up the book and flip through it again.
Now that the content of the book has been updated by many pages, she read it again from beginning to end.
Still not sleepy.
Thinking of the future livelihood of Qi and others, Gu Xi opened his mobile phone again and placed an order from Alibaba for hundreds of wooden hairpins, wooden combs, and high-quality imitation gold, silver and jade ornaments, as well as plastic and glass products whose origins were difficult to explain.
If they were running their own business, they would have to rely on surprise to win, but for the Qi family, all they had to do was to live a stable life, do some small business and support their family.
It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that Gu Xi finally felt sleepy. He put his phone into the space and fell asleep peacefully.
