Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Seeing Yang Xiaoyue's playful and naughty look, Xu Changping couldn't help but smile and said softly: "You stay at home and I will go back to make you a medicinal meal."

"I want to go too. It's too boring staying at home. I want to find some interesting books." Hearing Xu Changping's words, Yang Xiaoyue immediately widened her watery eyes and answered eagerly.

Xu Changping did not refuse Yang Xiaoyue's words and agreed readily: "Okay, since you are bored, then come home with me and play." Anyway, he had prepared the ingredients for the medicinal food in advance and put them in the system space, so he was not afraid that she would find anything unusual.

Just as the two were about to go out, Xu Changping suddenly asked, "Where's Xiao Mi? Isn't she at home with you?"

He hadn't seen Xiao Mi since he entered the door. He thought she had gone to the public toilet, but he didn't expect that she hadn't come back after such a long time.

Hearing the concern in Xu Changping's tone, Yang Xiaoyue's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and explained:

"She went to play with the little girl from the Cui family in the front yard. You know how lively and active she is. For her to stay at home quietly with me for two days is almost her limit."

"Is that so? Then I'll go over and take a look later. I didn't notice her when I entered the yard just now." Xu Changping nodded in understanding, but still said with some concern.

After all, when he came back, the gate of the courtyard was open, but there was no guarantee that the two children had gone to the alley to play.

After bringing Yang Xiaoyue back home, Xu Changping carefully helped her into the study and gently told her, "Just take your time choosing here. If you get tired, sit down and rest for a while. It's nothing to do anyway."

After saying that, without waiting for Yang Xiaoyue to reply, he turned around and walked out the door, heading towards the kitchen on the other side.

Xu Changping took out various ingredients and herbs needed for the medicinal meal from the system space, cleaned them with ease and put them into the casserole. He then added an appropriate amount of water, covered the pot and began to stew the carefully prepared medicinal meal.

After finishing all this, he came to the door of the study, leaned slightly against the door frame, and said with a smile: "How about it, I'll take you to the main room after you've chosen it."

At this time, Yang Xiaoyue was concentrating on flipping through the dazzling array of books on the bookshelf. After hearing Xu Changping's voice, she didn't hesitate to raise her head and responded, "Well, these few books will be enough!" As she spoke, she pointed to the books on the desk.

Xu Changping looked in the direction she pointed, and his eyes fell on the cover of the top book - Interpretation of Hexagrams. He couldn't help but shook his head and laughed: "I didn't expect you to be interested in this kind of book."

All the books in the study were copied from the confiscated books by the system with the help of his spending points. It was only now that the situation was not critical, otherwise he would have put them all into the space long ago.

"Huh, what do you know? Xiao Mi is learning this knowledge now. If I don't read more related books, we will have less and less common topics to talk about in the future."

Yang Xiaoyue looked at Xu Changping with a reproachful look. If this man had not brought Xiao Mi to his master, how could her sister have embarked on this feudal and superstitious path.

Xu Changping heard the dissatisfaction in Yang Xiaoyue's words, and quickly raised his hands in surrender and said, "This is really my fault, so I will have to carry you to the sofa as punishment."

"Go~" Yang Xiaoyue didn't react at first, then she spat at Xu Changping and said, "I can walk on my own, just get me the book."

"Okay, okay, whatever you say." Xu Changping was not annoyed that he didn't get to pick up the person. He walked in with a smile, picked up the book on the desk, and reached out to help Yang Xiaoyue walk to the sofa in the main room.

After she sat down, Xu Changping quickly brought her a few plates of dried fruits and fruits, and made her a cup of tea and a blanket. Then he stopped and said, "You can have fun first. I'll go to the front yard to see Xiao Mi."

"Go ahead." Although Yang Xiaoyue didn't think anything would happen to Xiao Mi, seeing how concerned Xu Changping was, she didn't say anything to stop him.

Xu Changping walked through the hanging flower gate in the middle courtyard and came to the front yard to look around, but he did not see Xiao Mi and the little girl from the Cui family.

He frowned and walked to the door of Cui's house and shouted, "Xiao Mi, Cui Miaomiao, are you in the house?"

After a while, the old lady of the Cui family opened the door with a smile on her face and said, "It's Xiao Xu! Xiao Mi and Miao Miao were just playing at the door. They are not here now. Maybe they ran into the alley."

Seeing that Old Lady Cui was in good health, Xu Changping smiled and said, "Is that so? I'll go to the alley to take a look. You can go back to your room and rest."

Mrs. Cui thought Xu Changping wanted to see his younger sister-in-law for something, so she didn't bother to chat with him. Instead, she said, "Okay, go ahead. If you see them, please call Miaomiao back for me. She hasn't finished her homework yet."

"Well, I'll tell her when I see it." Xu Changping nodded, then turned and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

After going out of the gate, Xu Changping looked around and went deeper into the alley to look for it.

The area near the main street was the route he took when he came back. If Xiao Mi was on the side of the road, she would have rushed up to him and acted coquettishly with him.

Not long after walking, Xu Changping saw a few children squatting and playing at the foot of the wall. He took two quick steps forward, holding a large White Rabbit cake and asked a chubby girl, "Did Xiao Mi and Cui Miaomiao from Yard 95 come to play with you today?"

"No, uncle, they didn't come to play today." The little fat girl shook her head, staring at the big White Rabbit in Xu Changping's hand.

She had eaten this candy before. It had a milky flavor, just like milk with a lot of sugar added.

"Oh, so! If you see them later, tell them that their families asked them to go home." As he said that, Xu Changping handed the White Rabbit cake in his hand to the chubby girl.

"Okay, don't worry, uncle." The little fat girl was so happy after getting the candy that her eyes narrowed.

Since he had never been here before, he did not stay and turned around and went back to the courtyard. Just now he suddenly thought of a blind spot in his thinking, that is, the area of ​​the courtyard is quite large, and the two children might have gone to other courtyards.

Xu Changping did what he thought, and walked quickly into the backyard to check. He had noticed it when he passed by the middle yard just now, but he didn't see the two people.

Unfortunately, when he arrived at the backyard, he did not find the two little guys. In a hurry, he could not help but whispered, "Xiao Mi, Cui Miaomiao, are you here?"
