I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

After entering the room, Ji Zihe lay down on the crack of the door and looked out. He was relieved to see that the ghost disappeared after picking up the bones.

"What are you looking at, you haven't come back to sleep yet." Ning Caichen said angrily.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" Ji Zihe asked seemingly casually.

Ji Zihe has a secret, he has been able to see those dirty things since he was a child.But he didn't tell anyone. When he was young, he didn't have the chance to tell others. When he was older, he became a governor. He knew that this kind of thing was not good, so he didn't want to tell others about it.

In fact, demons and ghosts are not that scary. People can't see them on weekdays, and they don't harm others. Ji Zihe just pretends that he can't see them.However, ghosts and ghosts occasionally want ordinary people to see them. Some big monsters just need to cast a spell. This is what an old ghost told him when he was a child.

The old ghost was a lonely wild ghost, because the bones were not buried, so he couldn't give birth.When Ji Zihe was playing in the yard when he was a child, he accidentally dug a bone, and an old ghost floated out of the bone, and he stalked Ji Zihe with shamelessness.

The old ghost was from the former dynasty, he died early, when the village where Ji Zihe lived was still in the wilderness.Because he only remembered that the bones were near his home, but he didn't know the exact location.In order to find his bones, Ji Zihe dug the pits in and out of the courtyard, and was beaten several times by his grandfather before he gathered the bones of the old ghost and buried them on the mountain.Also because of this old ghost, Ji Zihe has a certain understanding of the world of demons and goblins.

Just now the woman looked like a ghost. The moon is so big that she has no shadow. What is it if it is not a ghost?

"Did you see that woman just now?" Ning Caichen asked.

"Woman, what woman?" Ji Zihe's heart skipped a beat, hey, that female ghost just showed up, and he just pretended he didn't see her just now, so he was lying.

No way, those monsters and ghosts are the same in Ji Zihe's eyes whether they show up or not, so he can't be blamed for not being able to tell the difference!However, ghosts and ghosts that do not show up cannot be touched, and ghosts that appear with spells become real entities, which not only can be seen by ordinary people, but also can be touched.However, if you see a ghost and want to touch someone, isn't that a hooligan? Ji Zihe can't do this.

"Huh? You didn't see it! Just now, there was a woman who was not simple and insisted on running into our house to recommend herself a pillow mat. I, Ning Caichen, have no colors in my life, so how could I be tempted by her. She wanted to give me gold again. Who cares about such ill-gotten gains, I kicked her out." Ning Caichen said solemnly.

"Big cousin, you are such an upright gentleman!" Ji Zihe praised, he did not expect such a stingy person to be indifferent to gold.

"Of course." Ning Caichen said as a matter of course, "There is a problem with such a dubious woman in the deserted temple, and it seems even more problematic to give me gold. You are still young. Just remember to be careful, there is no such thing as a free lunch.”

"I remember." Ji Zihe said, climbed into the bed and got under the covers, and stuck his head out, "Don't worry, big cousin, I will definitely not tell my sister-in-law!"

"Children can be taught." Ning Caichen said with a smile.

The next day, when Ji Zihe got up, he found that the house to the south was locked again.

After breakfast, Ning Caichen went out.It was a rare time to come to Jinhua. He was going to the city to catch up with old friends, have a drink, and let Ji Zihe take care of his lunch. He would bring dinner back.

How could Ji Zihe not understand what he meant? What's the fun in watching a kid read.As a good young man, how can he waste his time on such things, of course he is going to have fun with his friends.

But Ji Zihe didn't care, anyway, he didn't need anyone to watch him when he was reading, and it would actually affect him to have someone standing around him all the time.

After Ning Caichen left, the deserted temple welcomed two more visitors.A scholar led his servants into the deserted temple, saw that the door of the monastery on the west side was open, and came over and knocked on the door.

"Brother, where is the owner of this temple now? The court exam is coming soon. It is difficult to rent a house in the city. I want to disturb you for a few days." The scholar said.

"There is no owner of this temple, and I'm staying here as well. There is still a spare monk's house to the east." Ji Zihe said without raising his head.

Hearing the words, the scholar looked around the monk's dormitory, and said to Ji Zihe, "My little brother looks like he is also a candidate for the college entrance examination. He is really a promising young man. We are destined to meet each other. How about we live together?"

Ji Zihe shook his head, "I live with my cousin. He has gone out and will be back before dinner. The monk's house in the east is still empty, you can live there."

The scholar said arrogantly, "This monk's house has not been lived in for many years, and it is difficult to clean it up. How about we live together, and I can give you guidance. Presumably your cousin will agree."

Ji Zihe raised his head and looked at the scholar. The scholar's face was full of arrogance. Although his clothes looked neat, they were not very new.Looking at his servant again, the clothes on his body were patched several times, and there was not much luggage on his back.

Ji Zihe shook his head again, "You and your servant have hands and feet, why don't you even bother to clean up a monk's house? Do you think I'm young and easy to bully?"

The scholar whose thoughts were pierced blushed, and flicked his sleeves, "Zhuzi is rude, it's unreasonable!"

"Well, my eldest cousin is a son of the Lian family. If I knew that you were bullying me, I would definitely beat you. I saw that you didn't bring bedding, but we didn't have any extras. We can't help you. Dongsengshe is over there." Ji Zi He said.Well, his big cousin didn't practice, that's his nonsense.

The scholar stood there so angry that he couldn't hold back a word after holding it in for a long time. In the end, he could only snort disdainfully, cursing Ji Zihe in his heart, and left the west monk's house with his servants, and walked towards the east monk's house with his sleeves.

Ji Zihe looked at the scholar's back and shook his head, is it so easy to take advantage of children?However, he didn't pay much attention to the scholar, he was just a stranger, so he continued to immerse himself in the book.

Although the time of hard study is full, it always passes quickly. It is already noon after reviewing a few policy theories.The stomach growled and started to make a revolution, because Ji Zihe took good care of his body because he missed the hospital examination last time.It is impossible for him to forget about food and sleep. He has to eat when he is hungry, and he has the strength to study when he is full.

I took out the leftover steamed pancakes I bought yesterday, lit them and put them on the porch. I also heated up the leftover broth from last night on the stove. I ate the pancakes with the broth, and my lunch was over.

In broad daylight, Ji Zihe didn't want to stay bored in the room all the time, so he took a few books and sat on the porch to read.The grass in the yard is taller than a person, and sitting on the porch, I can't see the monk's house in the east, but I can hear the scholar beating and scolding the servant.

After a while, the scolding stopped, and the scholar's servant came to the west wing, blushed and said, "Young master, can you lend me some food."

Looking at this honest servant, Ji Zihe hesitated for a moment, then went into the room and took out the remaining two pancakes and handed them to him.Forget it, anyway, the big cousin will bring back food at night, so let's help this honest man once.
