Manor system in the future

An old man wearing an old straw hat stood at the door, smiling amiably, and he could vaguely see a face similar to Lei Ping's.Qi Mu guessed that this was probably the old gardener the butler was talking about.

If not, Lei Ping ran over excitedly when he saw the old man, not a little bit more stable when he said he was an interstellar mercenary.

The four-storey building looks a little different when you look closely. The outer wall is covered with maroon vines of the same color as the wall. The flowers in the courtyard are in full bloom, and the petals are dripping with white beads after watering. The sun seems to refract a colorful rainbow.

The butler led Qi Mu over, and introduced, "Old Lei, this is the young lady's son, and he is also the successor of planet h3."

"Hello, Uncle Lei." Qi Mu nodded and smiled.When meeting for the first time, it is always right to applaud everyone.

"Hello, young master." Lei Yan looked Qi Mu up and down, nodded slightly satisfied, "I am the gardener of the manor, and the cook is my wife." Then he quickly turned his head and said to the old housekeeper, "I heard that A Ping said you were in the car. I cried."

Qi Mu, "..." Keke, very special self-introduction.Why does he have the feeling that the two old men will fight in minutes!

When Lei Yan opened his mouth, Lei Ping ran away, shouting, "Father, you are not kind! Why should I wait for me to run away before asking!"

Hehe, so the original point is to run farther and ask again, right?With such a lively and indifferent captain of the guard, Qi Mu had faint concerns about the safety of the manor in the future.

The old butler picked up the shovel at the door and ran after Lei Ping, from one side of the pasture to the other, leaving behind Qi Mu and the old gardener.

"I'm used to them doing this." Lei Yan took off the old straw hat with a smile, "Master, let's get used to it too."

How to get used to this!Looks like you're the one who started it.Qi Mu is a little embarrassed, Lei Ping must have had a rough time when he was a child, and was tricked by his father.

"I guess they still have to exercise for a while, I'll take the young master around inside first." Lei Yan led the way, "I'll take a look at the cultivated land in the manor later."

Qi Mu nodded.

Entering the small building, Lei Yan led Qi Mu to the kitchen first, met his wife, and then went straight up to the fourth floor, "This is specially arranged by the housekeeper for you. Your mother's room is next door. If you want to see it, you can ask the housekeeper. Take the key."

The whole room is blue and white in tone, and the decoration is simple and refreshing.The pillow and quilt cover has just been changed, and there is no wrinkle on the flat bed.There is a small flower basket on the table by the floor-to-ceiling windows. The freshly picked flowers in the morning add a breath of life, which looks natural and warm.

"Thank you." The little details in the room gave Qi Mu a sense of belonging when he first came to this world. .

"You're welcome, if you have anything else you need, young master, just ask." Lei Yan smiled.After getting along now, it can be seen that the new young master of the manor is a gentle and easy-talking person, without the arrogance of the Morika family. I am really relieved for Miss Qi Na.

"Old Lei, you're going too far!" roared from the stairs, and the old butler rushed up the stairs with a "thud thump thump," "I went to the garden for a while, and the sunflowers that arrived the day before yesterday haven't started planting yet. The gap in the fence was filled in half the day before yesterday, where did you pile up the fertilizer sent by the herdsman the day before yesterday, and where did you plant flowers?! You said it was for Ximei to grow vegetables! And the day before yesterday..."

Qi Mu didn't even catch his breath after speaking, Qi Mu was dumbfounded.

"Well, just get used to it." Lei Yan next to him was calm, "He's taking revenge on me for teasing him for crying, and by the way, I'm angry that I took the job of introducing the manor to you."

Looking at the old butler who had been chattering back half a month ago, Qi Mu didn't know what expression to make.

"By the way, he used to be Miss Qi Na's fanatic fan, but now." Lei Yan paused, "Probably changed his target, congratulations."

Where is it worthy of congratulations? !The corner of Qi Mu's mouth twitched, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Okay, okay, stop nagging." Lei Yan poked his ears and said to the butler, "I will return you my precious young master now. The young master said that he still wants to see the cultivated land of the manor, then I will leave the rest to you gone?"

The old butler's voice stopped abruptly, and he was so gentlemanly that he sent Lei Yan off, and then said to Qi Mu, "Where do you want to start, young master?"

Qi Mu, "...whatever you want."

After leaving the small building and bypassing the fence, Qi Mu realized that the so-called manor was much bigger than he imagined.

Not only the pasture he saw when he got out of the car, but also the cultivated land behind the small building that was more than three times the size of the pasture, and most of the area where a Suoke River flows through.

In front of the eyes, the undulating mountains in the distance present a light-colored phantom, which complements the blue sky. From the top of the mountain, large birds and beasts can be seen flying by from time to time, leaving a touch of black.

On the nearby open plain, a light blue river flows quietly, reflecting bits of broken light under the light.On both sides of the river is well-planned cultivated land, where various types of crops are spliced ​​into beautiful color blocks, and hardworking people are working in it.Next to the cultivated land, a row of red-roofed brick houses lined up, hidden in the woods behind the houses.

To say that what caught Qi Mu's attention the most was the building on the right hand side, with a circular structure, covered with sequins of unknown blue material, designed to combine power and technology, and a small airship hovering quietly in the sky, finally gave him a little The feeling of being in the future.

No way, since he got off the spaceship and exited the passage, all he saw were tall forests. Even the manor gave him the feeling that it was the medieval farm work he saw in the textbooks, so that he There is an illusion of going back in time.

Now that there is such a building in the manor, Qi Mu sighs that it is not too out of touch with the times.

"That's the guild of interstellar adventurers and mercenaries." The old housekeeper paid attention to Qi Mu's gaze and explained, "Planet h3 is barren and the air has been found to contain elements harmful to the human body, making it unsuitable for human habitation. They are still undeveloped planets at present. But for interstellar mercenaries, a large area of ​​primitive jungle is their adventure paradise."

"It's also for this reason that when Miss was still alive, she signed a land use treaty with the Interstellar Mercenary Alliance. Now these people are the main source of income for the manor, and most of the food is consumed by them." The old housekeeper said, thinking of something, "I will send the detoxification capsule to the young master's room at night, please remember to take it on time."

Qi Mu, "..." Don't be too happy about taking medicine every day.It seems that he has to find some time to enter the system's manor to take a look, and detoxify by the way.

Standing on the top of the mountain and seeing the whole picture of the manor, the housekeeper took Qi Mu to visit the cultivated land.

On the way, Qi Mu paid attention to the land and crops.The soil is severely desertified, and logically speaking, it should not be able to lock in water, but for some unknown reason, the particles are sticky, and it is very firm when stepped on, but it can feel slightly subsidence, as if it has just been paved and not yet dry. cement floor.

"What's this called?" Qi Mu casually broke off a crop that looked like rice.

"upland rice."

Qi Mu peeled it off and saw the shriveled "rice" inside.Okay, okay, it's really not as good as our rice, I don't know how it tastes.

From time to time, there are herdsmen walking around in the field. These people are also the growers of the cultivated land in the manor. When they see the housekeeper bringing people over, they gather here.

"Hello, young master!" A row of skinny people stood up, dressed in simple clothes and in good spirits, and bowed respectfully.

Qi Mu was a little overwhelmed, and was about to help them up, "You're welcome, I'm just here to take a look."

The butler calmly patted Qi Mu on the back, and the latter immediately stood up and stood at attention.

"Okay, let's continue to work." The butler nodded solemnly at these people, and led Qi Mu away.

"That's it?" Qi Mu asked strangely.As the owner of a village, he thought he had to ask for his health and condolences no matter what.Thinking of those people just now, he asked again, "Is the manor poor?"

"Why did the young master say that?"

"Those people look skinny."

The steward stopped and sighed, "The group of people just now are the slaves I bought when the spaceship docked last time. You haven't seen what they looked like before they came to the manor."

"Slaves?!" Qi Mu was startled, "Slaves without human rights?" Even 3000 years ago, there was no such thing. How could there be in the future? !

The housekeeper took a serious look at Qi Mu, thinking that the other party was under house arrest by the Morika family and had little contact with the outside world, suddenly his face became serious, and he asked, "Yes, so what does the young master want to do with them?"

"what?"

"The slave is sold, and everything including his life belongs to the master. If you don't like them, I can have them executed right now." The butler was expressionless, and it was a little strange when he said this.

Qi Mu felt chills when he heard that, should I be glad that I didn't become a slave through time travel?He stood there dumbfounded with wide-eyed eyes. Is this the butler's third style of painting?Please change back!

After being silent for a long while, Qi Mu glanced at the same silent housekeeper, and asked cautiously, "Can I add some food for them at noon?" The sun was shining on the open plain, making Qi Mu's short black hair look surprisingly soft.

The butler was taken aback, "Pfft." He laughed loudly while clutching his stomach, and exaggeratedly took out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears.The wanton laughter attracted the eyes of the workers nearby.

Qi Mu, "..." Where is the joke?

"Sorry, I lost my composure." Qi Ming stood up, looking at Qi Mu with sincerity in his eyes.He put away the handkerchief, returned to the appearance of the very gentleman butler before, avoided the slave business and smiled, "Okay, to celebrate the young master's first day in the manor, everyone will add food."

In the courtyard on the hillside, Lei Yan looked towards the direction of the field where the voice came from, pulled down the brim of his hat, and smiled knowingly.

After dinner, Qi Mu changed into his pajamas and sank into the soft bedding, pretending to be dead.

It's not a good thing that the manor is too big. I haven't finished my walk all day, and I have to continue tomorrow. My muscles are so sore that I want to tear my bones apart. Even if there is a jacuzzi in the bathroom, it's useless!

"Dong dong dong." The butler's voice came from outside the door, "Master, I have brought the capsule."

Qi Mu turned over slowly, sat up with difficulty, "Please come in."

The housekeeper put down the medicine tray, "I will take you to meet Ximei tomorrow morning. She usually lives in the Adventurer's Union with her parents and is responsible for the sanitation of the manor and the management of the vegetable garden."

"it is good."

"That's it." Seeing Qi Mu's exhaustion, the butler bowed to leave, "I wish you a sweet dream."

"Thank you."

As soon as the door was closed, Qi Mu was paralyzed on the bed again as if he had no bones. When he was drowsy and about to fall asleep, he glanced at the detoxification capsule by the bedside from the corner of his eye. He felt a bucket of cold water pouring on his head, and he woke up instantly.

Getting up and locking the door, Qi Mu took out the jade token on his neck, "System, can I enter the manor now?"
