Strange World Survival Manual

That is to say, when Wang Shiyan entered the palace, Li Si also found a place to live.

This is a relatively large courtyard with six side rooms on the left and right. There is also a small pavilion in the main courtyard where people can rest. It looks very elegant.

Li Si lived here not just for enjoyment, because he arrived late and had already found several inns before, all of which were full of people and there was no room left.

When he was distressed, someone found him and said there was a better place, so he took him here.

He saw that the environment here was also good, so he chose to live here.

However, although the environment here is good, the price is also relatively expensive, several times more expensive than the price of the inn. Li Si does not lack much money now to be able to live here.

At this time, Li Si was sitting in the room, reading a book.

He hadn't read a book on the road for a long time and felt that many places needed to be reviewed.

At this time, a knock on the door woke Li Si up, and he saw a man in a green shirt standing at the door, looking at him with a smile.

"Who are you?" Li Si looked at him with some confusion. He didn't know this person and didn't understand what this person was looking for.

Seeing Li Si's confused look, the man in green shirt smiled and said, "I just moved in and live next door to you. Now I'm here to visit."

Then he walked right in without appearing to be outgoing at all.

Seeing him coming in, Li Si put down the books in his hands, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Li Si from Fengmen County, I wonder who you are?"

"Zhang Yuan, Mengting County." Seeing Li Si announcing his family name, the man in green shirt also cupped his hands and introduced himself.

After introducing himself, he immediately said in surprise: "Are you from Fengmen County? Is there a family named Chen that sells peaches?"

Hearing Zhang Yuan's surprised words, Li Si was slightly startled and almost didn't react, but he immediately thought that Zhang Yuan was talking about Chen Zhongyang.

When he thought of the peaches planted by Chen Zhongyang, his expression became a little strange. But he remembered that all the peaches in the peach forest turned into thick water, which was extremely disgusting.

"The peaches taste really good. I was a frequent visitor to their home and bought peaches from him every year." Zhang Yuan said excitedly without noticing the strange look.

"His peaches are really good." Li Si nodded seriously and said.

He can't tell this person now that you won't be able to eat that kind of peach in the future, otherwise he doesn't know how to explain it.

Seeing what Li Si said, Zhang Yuan laughed, with a look of similarity on his face, and then said: "I see Brother Li studying here, but he wants to take part in this year's provincial examination?"

"Not bad." Li Si nodded slightly.

"That's such a coincidence. I am also here to take the provincial examination. It seems that we still have a chance to be in the same year." Zhang Yuan had a look of surprise on his face.

Seeing him like this, Li Si didn't know what to say. This is a title given to people who passed the exam in the same year. He didn't know why Zhang Yuan was so confident about it and felt that he would definitely pass the exam.

As for Zhang Yuan coming to take the provincial examination, he had already guessed. After all, at this age and being a foreigner, it was not surprising that he was a candidate.

However, Li Si was not easy to refute and said with a smile: "I hope so. I hope I can be of the same age as Brother Zhang this time."

Seeing Li Si like this, there was a hint of surprise in Zhang Yuan's eyes. He just talked casually, thinking that this person would be frightened and saying things like how ashamed he was, but he didn't expect this person to be so calm.

This made him look at Li Si a little differently, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Li, it's hard to come to Zetian Mansion. Do you want to go out for a walk together? I heard that there are some new stewards in Baiyu Mansion."

"No, I still want to read a book today." Li Si said with an apologetic look on his face.

Hearing what Li Si said, Zhang Yuan showed a disappointed look on his face and said, "Brother Li, continue reading. I'll go alone."

With that said, he walked out, and before leaving, he turned back and winked at Li Si.

Seeing the way he winked before leaving, Li Si felt a little bit dumbfounded, but he thought Zhang Yuan was interesting, not as pedantic as other scholars.

Then he shook his head and picked up the book from the side to continue reading.

After watching for a while, Li Si felt a little tired. He looked at the sky and saw that it was already dusk, so he was going to go out to find a restaurant for dinner.

And at this time, a burst of rapid footsteps came from a distance.

Li Si frowned slightly, put down the book, and looked outside, only to see that the courtyard was empty.

Then he had a thought, stood up, and looked toward the roof, only to see a man dressed as a servant walking over quickly on the roof.

The servant's face was blue and he was holding a lantern in his hand, which looked extremely strange in the dusk.

After all, who would still light a lamp and run on the roof at dawn?

Seeing this servant, Li Si was startled. He knew he had encountered a ghost, and subconsciously wanted to call Xiao Duan out.

But he soon calmed down. As soon as he entered Zetian Mansion, he encountered a ghost. This was probably not an accident. It might have come specifically to find him.

Besides the Nie family, who else came to see him specially?

With this thought in his mind, Li Si calmed down and pretended not to see it, admiring the scenery in the courtyard.

And just as he expected, the servant landed lightly from the roof into the courtyard. He looked at Li Si with a greedy look in his eyes, and even saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.

But he immediately calmed down, appeared, walked up to Li Si, and said with a smile: "Didn't I scare you?"

This kind face was completely different from when he stared at Li Si just now.

"That's not true." Li Si said lightly.

This ghost didn't know that he had seen it clearly when he came over, and thought he could scare him.

Seeing Li Si's dull expression, the servant's eyes showed surprise, but he immediately asked, "How do you feel about the house arranged by this young lady?"

Hearing what the servant said, Li Si knew that he had guessed correctly. This person was indeed sent by the Nie family. At the same time, he was a little shocked. He did not expect that the Nie family had such a background and could send ghosts to Zetian Mansion. walking in.

What he didn't even expect was that the place where he lived was arranged by the Nie family. This made him feel creepy, as if the Nie family knew what he was doing in Zetian Mansion.

"But something happened and a scholar was allowed to live next door to you. If you think it's inappropriate, I'll have him kicked out." At this time, the servant said with some embarrassment.

Hearing what the servant said, Li Si noticed some information from it. He only said to drive him out, not to kill people, which meant that there were certain restrictions on ghosts in this city.

The incident that this servant said made him overturn his own thoughts. The Nie family may have power in Zetian Mansion, but they are definitely not powerful enough to control everything.

"No need." Li Si said calmly.

The servant was a little angry at Li Si's attitude. He just said what he said just to scare the scholar, but he didn't expect that he would remain unmoved.

So he rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Uncle, the lady said that if you fail the provincial examination this time, the people you know will suffer, just like that child."

Hearing what the servant said, Li Si showed anger on his face. Thinking of his powerlessness when holding Yu Hu's head, he became more determined to eradicate the Nie family.

These ghosts are really looking for death!

Seeing the angry look on Li Si's face, the servant showed a look of satisfaction in his eyes, and he chuckled and said, "I've brought the words to you, please take care of yourself."

After saying that, he turned around, jumped onto the roof, and hurried away.

Seeing the servant walking away, Li Si thought about it and quickly followed him.
