I became an old man in my leisure time

And during the fight, Bai Suqing brought out the flexibility and continuity of the Blue Sea and Blue Sky Method to the fullest, and although she was weak, she was not chaotic and did not fail. Reading

Miss Qin knew that her strength would definitely surpass Bai Suqing in the future, but this was mainly due to her core martial arts.

Bai Suqing's talent was definitely not as bad as she knew before, and she had a great chance of becoming a martial arts master.

The two women's fight was not aimless, but to further understand each other's strength and fighting habits so as to cooperate in killing the ghost.

Another thing seemed small, but it had a great impact on Gu Ke.

On the morning of December 15th, Gu Ke got up on time to sign in, and went out with a washcloth, a cup and a toothbrush.

Almost at the same time, a thin figure appeared on the other side of the hillside and soon came to the small hut.

Gu Ke nodded at her: "Are you here? Go find Xiaoman and make breakfast with her."

Xiao Ping'er bowed and nodded: "Okay, Master..."

Feeling his glaring eyes, she quickly changed her words: "Okay, sir." Then she trotted towards the bamboo house.

This silly child is still so stubborn! Gu Ke shook his head helplessly and started his own washing work.

Xiao Ping'er, that's another matter.

This thin and timid little girl seemed to have decided on Gu Ke after she knelt down and kowtowed that day, just asking for a full meal.

The "Master" she subconsciously called before obviously regarded him as the master.

Fortunately, Gu Ke said that Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju would teach the maids martial arts.

Xiao Ping'er did some chores in the morning and practiced martial arts in the afternoon, so she didn't have much free time left.

Xiao Man was lively and outgoing. She was only fifteen years old, and she could chat with the twelve-year-old Xiao Ping'er.

The two children practiced martial arts together for a few days, and learned to make pasta with Chunxia and the other two girls. They soon reached a certain consensus on "eating" and became familiar with each other at an astonishing speed.

Then one day not long ago, Xiao Ping'er ran to the hut early in the morning.

When Gu Ke asked, she said that she came to work for the master, and the master was naturally someone who promised to give her food.

He noticed that Xiao Ping'er looked weak and stubborn inside, and didn't want to see her banging her head again, so he arranged some chores such as cutting grass, chopping wood, and peeling pine nuts.

At the same time, he took care of her breakfast, which was completely in line with the "agreement" between the two.

Xiaoman was also very happy to have Xiao Ping'er as a little partner to work with.

Although Gu Ke was good when he was with her, he often said something to end the topic, making many topics unable to continue.

Xiao Ping'er was different.

The two were born in different places, but they have too many things in common - they were both poor and hungry, and were caught and sold to Dawu Zhongting, and then sent to Yulong Valley. Now they are working for Gu Ke.

Even though they often talk about irrelevant things, it does not prevent them from getting along well.

With Xiao Ping'er and Xiao Man, two "workers", Gu Ke is more relaxed.

Cutting grass and chopping wood, drying and cooking, tidying up and cleaning do not require hands, Xiao Ping'er will take the initiative to do it, and Xiao Man will naturally follow.

Xiao Ping'er has a quiet personality, which complements Xiao Man, who has an active personality. There are no problems with the chores in the small hut, and it is even better than before.

Including the time for breakfast, Xiao Ping'er will come to the small hut for an hour every morning.

After finishing the chores in advance, she will also weave some mats, baskets, dustpans and backpacks with Xiao Man.

But this work is not a "task", and Gu Ke will not say anything if she does not do it. It is Xiao Ping'er who takes the initiative to do it.

These days, Gu Ke has decided to recruit Xiao Ping'er as his second formal employee.

This is a little girl who is willing to work hard. The employment contract can make both parties absolutely trust each other, which has all benefits and no harm.

So when Xiao Ping'er went back in the morning, he followed her to the workshop.

Before arriving at the workshop, Gu Ke tentatively asked Xiao Ping'er if she was willing to work for him, and the silly child almost knelt down again.

Or he took precautions in advance and grabbed her collar by the back.

Xiao Ping'er bent her knees and hung in the air. There was no cold and hard touch of the stone slab under her feet. She was a little confused for a while.

Gu Ke said seriously: "Are you willing or not, answer me seriously, kneeling is useless."

Xiao Ping'er nodded vigorously: "Yes, I am willing to work for you, master, as long as I can eat enough."

When she was excited, she called out "master" again.

Gu Ke put her down and patted her slightly big head on her thin body: "Okay, sign it."

As he patted her head, the system's employment contract appeared in the consciousness of the two.

Without any extra words or knowing the words on it, one can instantly understand the meaning of this contract.

Xiao Ping'er's eyes lit up, and without any hesitation, she completely recognized this contract in her heart.

The name "Wu Pingping" appeared on the contract, shimmering with golden light, and disappeared into the depths of her consciousness after a moment.

Looking at Gu Ke in front of her, Xiao Ping'er's eyes were full of excitement and joy: "Hello, Master." She wanted to kneel down again.

Gu Ke didn't need to do it this time, but just shook his head: "Stand up, don't kneel, and don't call me Master in the future, call me Brother Gu, Brother Ke, or Old Gu."

The employment contract can make the consciousness of both parties have a subtle connection, not the effect of mind reading or telepathy, but can feel the original intention of certain words of each other.

For example, if Gu Ke made a joke about his previous life, Xiao Man might not understand it, but it didn't prevent her from knowing that he was making her happy.

Similarly, Gu Ke now told Xiao Ping'er not to kneel or call Master, and she inexplicably understood what he meant.

The knee that had sunk down hesitated, moved up and down several times, then paused, and then gradually straightened up.

Looking at him, her eyes sparkled: "Yes, Brother Gu."

Gu Ke smiled faintly and rubbed her head a few times like he rubbed Xiao Man: "Well, that's right. I provide food, you work for me, this is an equal exchange, you don't owe me anything."

Xiao Ping'er didn't understand what "equivalent" meant, but she roughly understood the meaning of "exchange", and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I will definitely work hard."

Gu Ke patted her head and sighed: "You are too weak, just do some odd jobs for the time being, and the rest of the work will have to wait until you get started with martial arts."

Xiao Ping'er insisted: "I can do it."

Gu Ke didn't answer but asked: "Have you seen Sister Mei and the others move stones? The kind that weighs hundreds of pounds each, they are only able to do it with the strength of the first or second level. Your sister Bai is the sixth level, and she can lift a huge stone weighing thousands of pounds by herself."

Xiao Ping'er then remembered the situation of Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju carrying stones back to the workshop every now and then, and was speechless.

The smaller stones weighed dozens of kilograms, and she could only move them at most, and it was impossible for her to carry them all up.

"Then I will practice martial arts seriously and get started as soon as possible. No, I have to practice to the third level before I can move big stones..." After she said this, she felt that just getting started was not enough, so she quickly raised her level to the level of Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju.

Sixth level? Xiao Ping'er had never thought about it.

Bai Suqing was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and was quite nice to Xiao Ping'er, but she felt more in awe of him than Mei Shu, a bit like seeing Miss Qin.

Gu Ke didn't say anything more, it was a good thing to have a goal.

Mei, Lan, Zhu and Ju had martial arts of all levels, the food produced in the fairy field could quickly strengthen the body and blood, and there were also pottery bowls that blessed the state of pure mind. Xiao Man had already gotten started a few days ago.

Even if Xiao Ping'er was a little worse, it would only take a few months to get started, and it would take two or three years at most to get to the third level.

So, the small goal she set was quite realistic.

After signing the second employee, Gu Ke was in a good mood.

Compared with the looseness of the friendship contract, the system's employment contract is not so easy to sign.

The signer must be sincere and have no resistance to the job in order to pass the system certification, otherwise the employment contract cannot be reached.

The forced one is called a slave contract, and the system does not have such a thing at all.

For this reason, he never thought of looking for other people, even Sister Bai, who was the closest to him.

Although everyone has a good relationship, it is almost impossible to let them work for him without resistance.

However, the contract is more convenient, and no one can do anything to him within the protection of the system.

In the future, if there is extra soul source, everyone can sign a non-aggression friendship contract.

But the premise is that he has enough soul source, and the system still has so many buildings waiting to be opened, which is much more important than signing a few friendship contracts.

For example, the Xiuxian warehouse solves the problem of long-term storage of food and materials, and first ensures that everyone can survive.

Another example is the opening of the workshop, which is also worth the money.

Not only can it accommodate Miss Qin and her friends, becoming a kind of "guard" and "sentinel", but the item manufacturing function also solves most of the daily necessities needs.

The foundation and characteristics obtained by manufacturing items further make life more convenient and comfortable, and martial arts training easier and faster.

Just for these conveniences, he is looking forward to the next harvest of soul source.

After a few steps to the workshop, Gu Ke did not let Xiao Ping'er leave to do work, but took her to find Mei Shu and told her that he hired her to do the work.

Meishu didn't care: "Didn't the eldest lady say it last time? If you want, Chunxiaqiudong can be sent to you together, what do you think, Brother Gu?"

Gu Ke waved his hand: "Xiao Ping'er and Xiaoman are quite compatible, they are of similar age, let them work together and have a companion, she is enough."

Meishu laughed at him: "You, do you feel so uncomfortable being served by others?"

Gu Ke: "You are served by others so that you can find time to practice martial arts. What else can I do if I am served by others? Isn't it more boring to be a stonemason every day?"

Meishu shook his head helplessly: "Okay, one is one. Anyway, if you need people in the future, Chunxiaqiudong can be taken there at any time."

Speaking of this, she looked at Xiaoping'er: "Remember, you will be Brother Gu's person in the future, and you must listen to his orders in everything you do. You don't have to do things here anymore."

After a pause, she continued: "If you don't understand, learn from Xiaoman first. Of course, you can't slack off in practicing martial arts every day."

After speaking, Meishu looked at Gu Ke and gave him a look, "That's it, right."

"Thank you, Sister Mei." Gu Ke smiled and nodded, then said to Xiao Ping'er: "Send the straw and rattan you brought to the workshop, and then go pack up your things and bring them to me, understand?"

"Yes." Xiao Ping'er nodded.

Gu Ke waved his hand, and she hurried away.

Entering the workshop, she came to Miss Qin's living room, and Gu Ke sat opposite her without her greeting.

This is the advantage of being familiar with people, and you feel at ease.

Miss Qin also poured him a cup of tea as usual: "I thought you would come again in the afternoon."

Gu Ke told Xiao Ping'er about hiring her as a worker, and then smiled: "Since you are here, it's just right to ask about the evening. How is it, are you sure?"

Miss Qin stroked the teacup in front of her with her slender hand, her eyes showing a thoughtful look, and said softly: "The one that appears on September 15th is the wandering ghost, and the ones on October and November 15th are white ghosts, and they are stronger each time. This time, it may be the black ghost."

Gu Ke didn't say anything, but he knew the meaning of this sentence.

When encountering a wandering ghost, a warrior can only flee in the first round, and even needs to reach the third level of strength to have a greater chance of escaping.

After entering the second round, a warrior can release his blood and energy, and only then can he truly have the ability to kill and injure the ghost.

But the ghost has many natural advantages. A warrior of the fourth or fifth level may lose 70% of the time when fighting against a white ghost, and the rest may be both injured, and it is almost impossible to kill with a minor injury.

The same is true for a warrior of the sixth level against a stronger black ghost.

Only a martial master can fight against a blood ghost, but humans still lose more than they win.

Miss Qin is practicing the Lieyang Sutra, and the sixth level also has a chance to seriously injure or kill the black ghost.

But she has never killed a black ghost herself, so she is not very sure.

Miss Qin is very proud, but she is not self-righteous.

I won't make promises about things I don't understand. She just said cautiously: "If it is a black ghost with the lowest strength, we should have a good chance of winning. But you said that this workshop can keep it out and even temporarily trap it. Are you serious?"

This workshop does have many magical features. Even after being hit by her flying millstone, the seemingly thin bamboo wall was not damaged at all.

But the reason why ghosts have the word "ghost" is precisely because most of them have some abilities that go against common sense.

Things like passing through walls are not uncommon for ghosts.

But just like people will not walk on muddy roads when there are cement roads, ghosts are generally unwilling to go through 4 objects.

But this is unwillingness, not inability.

Gu Ke shook his head: "I haven't dealt with black ghosts either, so I can only try."

After a pause, he continued: "If the workshop can restrict the black ghost, then you can calmly look for opportunities to take action. If it doesn't work, the situation can't be any worse."

Miss Qin nodded silently.

Although the black ghost can't fly or hide, it's easy to search the Jade Dragon Valley for half a day.

If the workshop can't restrain the black ghost, then it's useless for them to hide elsewhere.

At that time, the only chance for everyone to survive is to join hands with Qin Bai to kill the ghost.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Ke stood up: "Sister Qin, try to maintain your Bingxin state today. Once the workshop stops the ghost, you will have enough time to dress... ahem, adjust yourself."

Miss Qin glared at him unhappily: Do you have to interfere with my bathing and dressing?

Unfortunately, Gu Ke knew her possible reaction and turned around and left as he said: Well, as long as I can't see other people's expressions and rolling eyes, they don't exist, which is equivalent to no one being angry.

The daytime of this day passed slowly in everyone's different moods.

Before dusk, the others were arranged on the stone platform of the Xiuxian warehouse. In the temporary shed made of bamboo poles and wheat straw, they cooked, chatted, ate, and did handicrafts around the small oven.

(Two-in-one, 4,000 words, please give me the first order. If the average order is too low, I won’t be able to get it even if I have full attendance.)
