Siheyuan: All the birds want to die, I enjoy happiness

Su Xingchen cooked some porridge and fried two egg pancakes in the morning. After eating the pancakes, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Why did you upgrade this damn system when there's nothing wrong with it?" Originally, he could spend some money to eat hot Kenye Ye in the morning, but now, he can't even eat it with money, so he can only cook for himself. It's not that Su Xingchen can't cook, he got the cooking skill when signing in the system. Although it can't be said to be particularly delicious, it's much better than ordinary people, and it can definitely be said to be the level of a chef in a fly restaurant.

The main thing is that cooking requires a lot of cleaning, and one gets covered in fumes, especially in this era when there were no range hoods. He really can't stand it, but there's nothing he can do, he has to eat, right?

After he finished his meal and cleaned up the house, Su Xingchen took the key and walked towards the middle courtyard. He just wanted to see what the difference was after the upgraded sign-in system, and what the daily sign-in tasks were.

Su Xingchen hummed a little tune and sang as he walked towards the middle courtyard. Ever since the fire in the Jia family in the middle courtyard, the Jia family and the deaf old lady were gone, and the middle courtyard became much quieter. After all, three people died in the middle courtyard. Although feudal superstition is not popular these days, everyone still has some taboos in their hearts, so people who can avoid coming to the middle courtyard are unwilling to come to the middle courtyard. Unless it is absolutely necessary, no one is willing to come. Many people in the courtyard would rather go to the toilet at home at night than go to the public toilet at night. They insisted that there was something going on in the middle courtyard at night, so many people in the courtyard did not dare to go out to the toilet at night, but Su Xingchen did not care at all, because he usually went directly into the space to go to the toilet. Even privately, several people in the backyard have planned to discuss with the street office to open a back door in the backyard.

Of course, the Street Office would not agree to this matter. After all, once it agrees, it is equivalent to affirming feudal superstition, so Director Wang would not agree to this kind of thing. However, Su Xingchen did not know what the people in the backyard were discussing. After all, he lived in the front yard and would only come to the middle yard to brush his teeth and wash his face.

You must be asking, isn't the house of the deaf old lady in the middle courtyard? Could it be that Su Xingchen doesn't live there anymore? Of course that's impossible, mainly because as a young man in the 20st century, he has received compulsory education and of course doesn't believe in ghosts and monsters. As the saying goes, "A gentleman does not talk about strange things." Su Xingchen doesn't believe in ghosts and monsters at all. Besides, it wasn't him who killed the deaf old lady and the mother and son of the Jia family. If you don't do bad things, you don't have to be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Anyway, Su Xingchen is not afraid of them at all.

Su Xingchen walked to the middle courtyard. Yi Zhonghai was washing clothes for him by the pool. He glanced at Su Xingchen and lowered his head as if he didn't see anything, and continued to wash clothes. He felt annoyed when he thought about how Su Xingchen embarrassed him two days ago. It was better to be in the factory. Now everyone who saw him had to respectfully call him Master Yi! Now he was the only one who knew that he would become Director Yi's man in the future, so it was normal for everyone to respect him a little. But Su Xingchen didn't spoil him like other people, which gave Yi Zhonghai a headache. Every time he saw Su Xingchen, Yi Zhonghai wished he would leave quickly, and his eyes hurt when he saw him.

Of course, Su Xingchen also saw Yi Zhonghai's actions. He simply pretended that he saw nothing and walked directly into the deaf old lady's house with the key. As soon as he reached the door of the deaf old lady, he heard He Yuzhu calling him, "Chenzi, where are you going?"

"Oh, Brother Zhuzi, isn't this room empty now? I was just thinking of cleaning it up. Are you on vacation?" Su Xingchen said as he walked over and handed He Yuzhu a cigarette.

"It's holiday time. Hi, I told you that I passed the level 5 chef test yesterday. Now I'm a level 5 chef! After the New Year, I'm going to work at the steel mill." He Yuzhu saw Yi Zhonghai washing clothes beside the sink, then he lowered his voice and spoke to Su Xingchen.

"Okay, Brother Zhuzi, but you have to treat me to a meal later." Su Xingchen lowered his voice and patted He Yuzhui.

"That's a must. Okay, I'll treat you to dinner later. I have something else to do today, so I'll be leaving now." He Yuzhu said to Su Xingchen with a smile.

"Okay, then go slowly." Su Xingchen nodded and said.

After watching He Yuzhu leave, Su Xingchen took out the key again and opened the deaf old lady's room. After entering the door, Su Xingchen closed the door. He didn't want Yi Zhonghai to see what he was doing inside.

After entering the house, Su Xingchen exclaimed, "Wow, this house is really smelly!" No one has lived in it for a few days, and there is a musty smell in it. Su Xingchen waved his hand and saw that there were still some things of the deaf old lady in the house. He thought about cleaning them up later. After all, the most urgent thing was to build a basement down there.

But Su Xingchen had no idea how to place this basement, so he went straight into the system space, "System, I want to place a basement, how should this thing be placed?"

"Ding, answer the host, please confirm the location where the basement needs to be placed. Should it be placed under the house of the deaf old lady in the courtyard of Luoguxiang, South of Sijiu City?" A voice came from the system immediately.

"Confirm to place it." Su Xingchen nodded and said.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully setting up the basement. Congratulations to the host for completing the daily sign-in task and obtaining a peach wood sword made of thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood." As the system finished speaking, Su Xingchen had a peach wood sword in his hand.

Looking at the dark peach wood sword in his hand, Su Xingchen couldn't help but play with it, and then asked the system: "What is the use of this thing? This is not a zombie world. Can it be used to exorcise demons?"

"Ding, answer the host. This peach wood sword can be used to exorcise demons and monsters, especially to drive away evil spirits, and this peach wood sword can cut iron like a knife."

"No, this peach wood sword looks ordinary, but how can it have such an effect? ​​But I just want to know, I'm not a Taoist priest, so what evil spirits can I exorcise? Besides, where do these evil spirits come from?" Su Xingchen said helplessly, but the system ignored him.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering a long-term task - find the treasure buried by the deaf old lady! You will receive a reward if you complete the long-term task!" The system did not answer Su Xingchen, but instead assigned a new task to Su Xingchen.

"System, what is this long-term task?" Su Xingchen stopped what he was doing and said to the system.
