The story of the haunting had been in the Jiangcheng Morning News half a month ago.

The surveillance on the road was far more terrifying than the one Xu Qing and the others saw last time. A dark shadow flashed past like a ghost, and from time to time it shrank into a ball or floated to the wall, attracting a lot of attention.

There are fewer people wandering outside at night. On the contrary, the police will come here to patrol at night.

To be on the safe side, Xu Qing did not take Jiang He out for nearly half a month and asked her to stay at home. Now that the news has passed for more than half a month, she has relaxed a little.

"What a sin..."

While eating, Xu Qing couldn't help but shake his head and sigh while reading the local news in Jiangcheng on his mobile phone.

Some people said that some animal from the zoo escaped, some said that it was a real ghost, and some people saw a female ghost with a bloody face and protruding eyes.

Fortunately, in modern civilized society, young people are not very superstitious. They say that it must be some idle guy who pretends to be a ghost and plays tricks to attract attention, and there are also decent screenshots to annotate and analyze.

Apart from that, it is freedom, democracy, civilization and harmony... all copied to the screen.

"Are all the people here like this... in jail?"

Jiang He spoke in a muffled voice while eating. After more than a month of observation, she found that Xu Qing spent every day squatting at home, doing nothing except going out to buy a meal or going out for a walk in the morning.

"Of course not, this is called otaku." Xu Qing pointed at herself, "zhiai otaku, otaku."

"A profession?"

"No, a way of life."

"I don't quite understand." Jiang He shook her head. Although she was studying very hard, she couldn't get started.

Although the development of the world from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, then to the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and now to the present has been understood, it is only a broad and general concept. When it comes to practical life, she is still a blind person who does not understand anything.

"That is, I can choose to go out, or I can choose to stay at home. I am tired from going out, so I just lie at home... just like a wealthy landlord who walks his dog and plays with his cat in the house every day." Xu Qing gave an example.

"It's not like."

"..."

"I want to go out for a walk." Jiang He said.

Staying here like this, she can't learn how to live. Every day she is like a pet in captivity - just like a winter melon.

"Go for a walk?" Xu Qing asked.

"Um."

"You mean...get out of here?" He knew that this 'walk' was not just about going out for a walk.

Jiang He lowered his eyes and nodded after being quiet for a moment.

"Stop joking, what can you do when you go out?... Putting aside everything else, food, clothing, housing, and transportation. You don't have to wash or change what you wear. You walk on two legs. Where do you live? Climb onto someone else's roof to sleep? What about eating?

?Um?"

"I..." Jiang He opened his mouth, but was unable to refute.

"Robbing? Or stealing?" Xu Qing put down his chopsticks and looked at her.

Of course he can give Jiang He some money, and she has learned to eat in restaurants, but without the means to make a living, it will always be spent.

At that time, there will be no way out. Apart from committing crimes, we can only hope for the second good Samaritan.

"There aren't many deep mountains and old forests for you to hunt around here... Oh, you can dig through the trash cans."

Jiang He lowered his head and said nothing, and the dinner table fell silent.

After a long time, she collapsed and sighed silently, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.

If what Xu Qing said about his identity was to deceive her, that would be better, but after more than a month of getting to know each other, she found that Xu Qing didn't have any ill intentions at all, and he didn't say any false words to deceive her.

Without an identity, it is really difficult to move forward.

Xu Qing looked at her for a while, shook his head, and said in a slower tone: "Changing living habits, lifestyle, and perception of life... These are difficult, I can understand."

"But things always have to be done slowly. At least now you can ride a bus and know coins, right? This is a big improvement."

"I can't learn anything." Jiang He pursed his lips, feeling a little frustrated.

"No, you have learned a lot." Xu Qing thought for a while and said: "At least... now that I tell you this, you won't know how to touch darts and draw swords. If I give you some money, you can live outside for a while...

This is much better than when I first came a month ago.”

"Take your time. When the haunting outside is over, I'll take you out for more walks. You have to experience some things before you can understand them."

"Is it really haunted outside?" Jiang He was surprised.

"The Taoist priest is still dancing there." Xu Qing glanced out the window angrily, stood up and packed away the packing boxes on the table.

If you want to become familiar with a completely unfamiliar world, you don't have to be smart. You have to change many habits slowly.

At least she knows traffic lights now, knows how to use money, and can occasionally win a game or two in Landlords...

"When you make money in the future, you can pay me back. If you can't afford it, then..."

Looking at Jiang He's clear eyes, Xu Qing's joke was stuck and he shook his head and said: "It's time to find something for you to do. Just wait for me to think about what you can do."

Jiang He solemnly clasped his fists: "Thank you so much, young hero!"

"Call me a hero."

"..."

…

I can't do serious work, but now is the Internet information age.

Xu Qing even searched for food online. Although he was only doing ups, he also knew a lot about other things. But no matter what he did, he needed to study for a long time. He could support himself just by being interested.

That's God's reward, you can't force it.

afternoon.

"Let's play with this and see if we can learn it."

After registering a new account, Xu Qing asked her to learn to play first. Daily power leveling in online games can be said to be the simplest, as long as you have the skills...

For example, Three of Swords happens to be an ancient style.

When a power leveling agent is deceived, it is just to get some labor force, and to cheat orders is to get real money. This is the most practical, and it can also help her kill time and interact with others.

Of course, the premise is that she can learn to play - Xu Qing really can't think of a simpler way to make money for an ancient who has just accepted this world and has not yet adapted to it.

"Play?" Jiang He instinctively felt something was wrong. He looked at the game screen and thought for a moment, then said: "Can't I do what you did? Just use surveillance to watch others and make money..."

"That's too complicated, you can't learn it yet."

Xu Qing waved his hand, "There are too many things to learn, and you need to read enough films..."

Wow.

Suddenly there was a sound at the door, interrupting his words. The two looked at each other, Xu Qing's expression suddenly changed, and while gesturing to Jiang He to go back to the room, he shouted: "Who is it?"

"Open the door!"

"..."

Hearing this voice, Xu Qing turned to Jiang He and urged: "My family is outside. Hurry up...go back to your room and hide."

Jiang He didn't know why, so he got up and went back to the room.

Outsiders can open the door at will, but family members need to hide...it's a bit strange.

"Wait, I'll open it for you."

Seeing that Jiang He had returned to the room, Xu Qing opened the door slowly, "Dad, why are you here?"

"Call me landlord."

Xu Wenbin pushed up his glasses, walked in and looked at the computer screen, then looked at Xu Qing.

"You haven't found a job yet?"

"Landlord, you still care about my job... Oh my, my, I'll give it to you, just hand over the money. Why are you looking for a job? Isn't this good for me?"

Xu Qing turned back to the sofa to get his phone. Xu Wenbin pushed away the winter melon with his fingers in disgust, "I haven't found a serious job after graduation. I speculate all day long and do some crooked things. What do you mean? I should give it to you."

…”

"Lock me up in the cowshed." Xu Qing continued weakly, "I'll pass it on to you. You came here in person just to see if I was working? No one is working during the National Day... Oh, come here

Look at the utility bill.”

"snort!"

Xu Wenbin looked like he hated the iron, and glanced at the computer: "If you can't find a job next month, I will raise your rent. See if you still stay at home every day..."

"Right!"

Xu Qing paused in transferring the money, then raised his head and said, "Dad, did you see that Taoist priest when you just came here?"

"I saw it, what's wrong?" Xu Wenbin frowned.

"This place is haunted, unsafe, and in a shabby environment... Your rent needs to be reduced."

"What a fart, hurry up..."

In the middle of speaking, Xu Wenbin suddenly stopped talking and stared blankly at the balcony. Xu Qing followed his gaze and looked over, where Jiang He's clothes were hanging in the wind.

"..."

"..."

The air suddenly became quiet.

"Dad, listen to me..."

Xu Wenbin's face darkened: "You still know how to wear this kind of clothes now?!"
