Pick up Heaven at the beginning

Chapter 12
Lin Shu, Xiang and Murong Xiao washed and tidied up one by one, then ordered a few steamed buns and a few bowls of white rice porridge with a small plate of pickled mustard from the store, and sat in the lobby of the inn for breakfast. Less than three people enjoyed it so much, they had to get up as soon as the rooster crowed, packed their bags and set off, otherwise it would be difficult to get to the next foothold before dark, the world is not peaceful at night, if you don’t pay attention, you will be killed disaster.

So in the entire inn, only Lin Shu and his party, Hu Hansan and Li Congyi were having breakfast.Although Hu Hansan and Li Congyi were very curious and admired Lin Shu, they still didn't have the cheek to step forward to disturb him.The two have similar temperaments, they can piss into a pot, you brag and I flatter, and they have a very happy conversation.

On Lin Shu's side, Murong Xiao was stuffing steamed stuffed buns into his mouth with great effort, while Xiang sat beside her with his hands on her back, fearing that she would choke on him if she ate too fast.Lin Shu didn't move his chopsticks after finishing a bowl of porridge, his eyes were deep, he was planning and thinking about something.After Murong Xiao finally wiped out the last meat bun on the plate, Lin Shu stood up and went to the front desk to pay the bill. The room rate and breakfast for two rooms totaled 2 gold coins.Last night, Wang Fugui grabbed a handful of gold coins and gave them to him. Now that he counted them carefully, there are as many as 17. There were 100 gold coins rewarded by the wealth mission yesterday, and 3 were donated to the temple.It took more than 2 more to eat and go shopping later.After paying the rent, Lin Shu still had 109 gold coins and 3 silver coins in his hand, which should be enough to rent a big house in the city, and asked Xiaoer where it would be more convenient to rent a house.

Xiaoer recommended a man named Tu Laosan to them. According to Xiaoer, this Tu Laosan is relatively honest. He has worked as a real estate agency in the city for many years, and he only needs to find someone near the city gate to ask. Find him immediately, the house in his hand will be rented out at a much lower price than other peers.Lin Shu didn't fully believe what he said. This little second and Tu Laosan might have business contacts, but it doesn't matter to go and have a look now, as long as it can save a lot of trouble and not be too ruthless. accept.

He took Murong Xiao and Xiang out of Xiangfengju, and walked towards the city gate.After shopping in the previous few days, Lin Shu became familiar with the geographical position of Dongxuanfu City to a certain extent.Along the way, I met many housekeepers who were leading the team to clean up the mess left by the festival last night. Because of the frequent presence of immortals, the wealthy businessmen living in the city often sent people to maintain the living environment in the city.

Xiangfengju is not far from the city gate, just turn a few long streets and you will arrive at the city gate.Xiang took on the important task again and found an old lady on the street to ask Tu Laosan where he was.As Xiao Er said, there seemed to be no one at the city gate who didn't know this old man Tu, and a random passer-by found out the location of Mr. Tu.According to the aunt's instructions, the three of them went around again and again, and finally saw Tu Laosan himself.

I saw him with a big shiny back head, a tattered cloth bag under his arm, walking strenuously, with unruly eyes, with a big pipe in his mouth, looking towards the surrounding people. Passers-by spread tobacco.

Tu Laosan caught one and said, oh, isn't this the little brother of the Li family.The young man caught by him could only helplessly say: Isn't this Brother Tu?What is this?The third child replied: "It's nothing, I'll take a stroll."After finishing speaking, take a little out of the tobacco pouch, let's smoke some, Mazi!The young man with black lines all over his head waved his hands and said: "Thank you, brother, I don't smoke." The third child Tu put the baby tobacco into the tobacco bag again, "I just like pockmarks, other grasses are not good, I smoked and coughed, "The young relative was speechless and waved goodbye to him.

Seeing this scene, Lin Shu felt very suspicious of the professionalism of Tu Laosan. In the end, he could only come forward and stop Tu Laosan with the idea of ​​just trying it out.Tu Lao San doesn't care whether he knows Lin Shu or not.Another familiar sentence: Isn't this little brother? " Lin Shu endured the spirit of complaining and continued: I'm here to rent a house. Tu Lao San didn't seem to hear it at all, and took some tobacco out of the pouch on his waist, and said, "Smoking? Pockmarks!"
Lin Shu shook his head and refused.Tu Laosan put the baby tobacco into the tobacco pouch, and the line was still familiar: "Don't smoke? I like Mazi, but other grasses are not good. I smoked and coughed." After reading it, it seemed to be a fixed opening line. Finally, Tu Laosan asked again: "How big is the house, and do you have any requirements for the environment?" Lin Shu replied: "If you want to have a yard, there are more than two rooms. The environment should be quieter."

After listening to the request, Tu Laosan put the cloth bag on his arm and said, "Okay, I have a few rooms that meet your requirements, come and let me take you to have a look. After finishing speaking, I walked in with my head held high. In front. Lin Shu turned his head and told Xiang to hold Murong Xiao's little hand to avoid getting lost in the city, and then followed.

After following Tu Laosan's footsteps and turning left and right for a while, everyone came to a house.Tu Laosan stopped, opened the cloth bag, rummaged for a long time and finally took out a key and opened the door.Stepping into the room, a burst of rotten air came over the face, and Tu Laosan introduced the house to the house as if he didn't ask any questions.

First, he introduced the approximate year of the house, and then highly praised the decoration, but Lin Shu looked at the tiles on the roof that were about to fall, and expressed his strong dissatisfaction to Tu Laosan.Tu Laosan nodded as if he had expected it, and finally locked the house and took Lin Shu and the others to see the next house.

After visiting three houses in a row, I didn’t find a suitable one. On the way, Tu Laosan said that greening is good, and the air is fresh. Living in it seems to return to nature, but when I walked in, weeds were overgrown, which meant good greening, and the window sill was damaged and ventilated, which meant the air was fresh.He also said that it is near the school, so you can make friends with the local nobles, but when you walk around, the so-called nearby school is just a small private school with only one teacher nearby, and making friends with nobles is just a few rogues who like to gather around there to gamble.

In short, no matter how ruthless Tu Lao San blows, Lin Shu immediately rejects it when he sees the actual style.In this way, until Murong Xiao's legs hurt from walking and he was hugged by Xiang, Tu Laosan took Lin Shu to see a house that he was still barely satisfied with.

The house covers an area of ​​about an acre, and the surrounding environment is quiet.When I entered the house again, I saw that the interior decoration was elegant. The large open space in front of the house was paved with stone bricks. Two trees were planted in the courtyard, one was a mulberry tree and the other was a loquat tree.There are stone tables and chairs under the tree, and a chessboard is carved on the table, with black and white pieces scattered on it.There is a stone well behind the tree, but the mouth of the well has been poured, so it seems that it cannot be used.

Going into the house and looking inside, the interior is also antique, and the furniture is all available without additional purchases.Lin Shu took Murong Xiao to look through each room in turn. Murong Xiao was full of expectations for the upcoming home that he could live in for a long time.It wasn't Lin Shu who stopped him, he was already ready to drag Xiang to clean up.Seeing that Lin Shu seemed to have chosen this house, Mr. Tu slammed his eyes a few times with guilt.Quoted the price quickly

20 gold coins per month, minimum rent of three months. If you need water here, you need to go to the next door to get it. This well has dried up and can no longer be used, but it doesn’t matter. My good brother lives around. If you stay here, I will personally take you to visit, and with one sentence, let them promise you to fetch water every day.After speaking, he patted his skinny chest.

Lin Shu knew that the old man Tu must have concealed something and didn't explain it clearly to himself, but the price of this house is still cheap.I don’t want to waste any more time, as long as I cast a spell on the water at night, there will be water available, so I don’t have to worry about inconvenience. As for the ghosts and ghosts in the house, Lin Shu plans to stay there and explore it by himself to find out. , not afraid of life-threatening, so he happily handed over 60 gold coins and signed a contract with Tu Laosan.

Tu Laosan put the contract in a tattered cloth bag, and after handing over the room key to Lin Shu, he wanted to take Lin Shu to visit the next door.Lin Shu tactfully refused, and Tu Laosan thought that this young man would not be able to come down, and he would naturally go to the neighbor to ask for water in the future, so he left the place without further entanglement.

In fact, according to his original temperament, after collecting the rent, he would inevitably have a few more pleasantries with his little brother, and he would never leave without a meal, but this house is indeed a bit evil, and he really didn't dare to stay longer.What he didn't tell Lin Shu was that this house hadn't been lived in for a long time, but every time it was opened, it was like a new one, as if something lived in it and cleaned every day.This house was also rented out before, but every time the residents moved in, strange things would happen one after another within seven days.There are many rumors and legends about seeing ghosts with their own eyes among families with children and elderly people.

At first, Tu Laosan didn't want such things to affect his business, so he invited a Feng Shui master to take a good look at the house and find out what's weird about this house. Unexpectedly, the day the master came, he turned left and right with a compass and said This place is a top-notch treasure land, and there are great spiritual beauty and blessings hidden in it. He also threatened that there would be no weird accidents, and he was willing to live here forever.Of course Tu Laosan nodded in agreement, but the feng shui master found Tu Laosan crying and wanted to check out after less than three days of check-in in the bag. Mourning there.

After Tu Laosan agreed to let him check out, he was uneasy, and everyone mentioned the weirdness and horror of this house, and there was a lot of trouble in the neighborhood. Tu Laosan's house could not be rented out among acquaintances. Well, today he caught the faces of Lin Shu and his party. He was just showing them around casually. Who knew that they really fell in love with this haunted house, and they felt at ease about this kind of "children" Tu Laosan.
