Chapter 404 The Mysterious Deaf Old Woman
Despite her young age, He Yushui finished two steamed buns with just warm water in one go.
After finishing the steamed bun, He Yushui's originally pale face gradually regained a rosy hue.
Meanwhile, the stomach, which had been making constant noises, has now quieted down.
After eating her fill, He Yushui's face immediately showed a look of satisfaction and happiness.
"when!"
Just then, the door was suddenly opened from the outside.
Like a startled rabbit, He Yushui instinctively jumped up from the stool and hid behind the table.
"Hey, Rain, you're home? If you're home, why is the door closed?"
The person who opened the door was none other than He Yuzhu.
He had just gotten off work.
When He Yuzhu returned home and found the door closed, he assumed no one was home.
Therefore, the action of opening the door was a bit too big, which unexpectedly startled He Yushui.
Upon seeing He Yushui at home, He Yuzhu paid no attention to the look of fear on her face, instead asking her with a puzzled expression.
He Yushui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the person who came was He Yuzhu.
However, a hint of resentment flashed across his face.
But that hint of resentment vanished in an instant, and he continued:
"I was resting at home just now and didn't want to be disturbed, so I closed the door."
He Yushui's words were full of flaws; anyone who paid even a little attention could tell that He Yushui was lying.
However, He Yuzhu, the older brother, did not notice.
After hearing He Yushui's words, He Yuzhu actually believed them without even the slightest doubt.
Then He Yuzhu said again:
"Oh, then I'll take a break too. I'm too tired from work today. I'll cook later."
After saying that, without caring about He Yushui's reaction or whether He Yushui was hungry, he simply lay down on the bed to rest.
Throughout the entire process, not a single word of concern was shown to He Yushui.
A hint of disappointment flashed in He Yushui's eyes.
She had originally intended to tell He Yuzhu about Li Qin giving her the steamed bun today, but now she didn't know what she was thinking.
They kept this matter a secret.
As He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard house, more people came home from get off work.
The quiet courtyard suddenly became lively.
Li Qin had already carried a few ordinary dishes out of the kitchen.
As he stepped out, Li Qin subconsciously glanced in the direction of the deaf old woman's house.
Although it was getting dark, Li Qin, who had exceptional eyesight, could clearly see a figure standing behind the window of the deaf old woman's house.
By looking at the shadow reflected in the window, Li Qin could tell that the person was definitely the deaf old woman.
Li Qin frowned involuntarily:
"What is this old woman doing?"
Although there was a possibility of coincidence, Li Qin instinctively felt that the deaf old woman standing behind the window was definitely watching him.
This reminded Li Qin of the last time he was cooking, when the deaf old magistrate secretly observed him in the yard.
This time it was the same, and even more covert. Li Qin was puzzled and confused.
He didn't know what had triggered the deaf old woman to suddenly become so concerned about him.
Li Qin thought about it carefully and realized that he hadn't done anything recently, nor had he provoked the deaf old lady or anyone else.
"Fine, if she wants to watch, let her watch."
Li Qin's face showed an indifferent expression.
Then he carried the food into the house.
As soon as he entered the house, the figure reflected in the old deaf woman's window gradually disappeared.
After closing the door, Li Qin took out his actual dinner and began to eat.
However, he could never forget what had just happened.
However, since the deaf old woman and the others didn't do anything for the time being, Li Qin didn't intend to pay any attention to them.
But if these people start trouble, Li Qin will not be polite.
After finishing his meal and cleaning up, Li Qin did not go out, nor did he stay in his study to read or drink tea as usual.
Instead, he cast a sealing spell on the door and then turned and entered the pagoda space.
Because the pagoda had already been forged into five layers, and the space of the first three layers had also expanded somewhat, Li Qin had already replenished the necessary materials.
However, we still need to pay attention to whether the space is operating normally.
The most crucial spaces are the fourth and fifth floors.
These two spaces have just been completed and require more attention.
Li Qin inspected each floor one by one and found that whether it was the original three-story space or the newly built two-story space;
Everything was normal at this time, and no problems occurred.
The organisms, plants, and animals inside are all growing normally, and everything is developing in a positive direction.
Li Qin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he was not completely at ease.
Only when the entire space is truly in a cycle can he truly relax.
We can only say that it has had a very good start.
After completing the inspection, Li Qin left the pagoda space and returned to the real world.
Last night, Li Qin was quite exhausted from refining alchemical items, which drained his mental and magical energy. Plus, it was a holiday, so he didn't read any books and went straight to rest.
He didn't expend much energy today, and since he's already at work, he naturally won't go to bed early.
He has to go to night school later.
Although the teachers at night school can no longer teach him much, he still insists on going to night school every day as long as conditions permit.
Even after returning from class, Li Qin still insisted on reading for a while before going to bed.
It wasn't that Li Qin really wanted to sleep, but it was already past eleven o'clock, and it was almost midnight, so everyone was asleep.
Li Qin also needed to follow the crowd.
Li Qin lay down on the bed but did not sleep. Instead, he began to immerse himself in the knowledge that had been passed down.
He studied until after 1 a.m.
But he still couldn't sleep.
There are still some people in Hong Kong waiting for him to visit.
Only after all these things were done could Li Qin finally sleep peacefully.
If it were according to his usual habits, Li Qin would not get up until at least 10 o'clock the next day.
But Li Qin got up at around 8 a.m. the next day.
Li Qin didn't not want to sleep; it was just that he had to "go to the countryside" today, so he needed to get up early.
This was planned yesterday.
After washing up, Li Qin ate something simple and then pushed his bicycle out of the courtyard.
The residents were surprised to see Li Qin getting up so early, which was unusual for him.
However, Li Qin's habits were very regular, and the residents quickly figured out what was going on.
"Li Qin, are you going to the countryside to buy supplies again?"
After such a long period of contact, the residents of the courtyard house were already very familiar with Li Qin's habits.
Every time Li Qin goes to the countryside to purchase goods, he gets up early and leaves early, just like today.
When asked, Li Qin didn't hide anything and answered frankly:
"Yes, it's almost the end of the month, so we have to work hard to see if we can buy more supplies. If we don't complete the task, our wages will be deducted."
