Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 128 A Little Joke
Generally speaking, the bad luck will come first before death, but there are also some special cases.

They all left by themselves, the difference is that the kind of escaped souls that the errands want to catch are called escaped souls, while wandering souls like this old man don't even need to use the hook.

This kind of soul may be unusual in many cases, so that sometimes the Yin Division may not be able to accurately calculate the time of its death.

Doesn't this old man know that Yi Shuyuan is special?Maybe I didn't know it when I was alive, but I'm afraid I can feel something when I meet him after death, but I don't have any other demands.

Even before he was alive, the old man should have known that Yi Shuyuan was a famous storyteller in the city, and he was even called the No. 16 in Mingzhou, but he didn't raise the rent, and he didn't even come over. Bothered.

As I said when we first met, Yi Shuyuan is trustworthy, and I am very satisfied to help take care of the old house.

With the thoughts in his mind, Yi Shuyuan stopped after entering the fenced yard.

The fence in this yard is very similar to the old suburban house that Yi Shuyuan rented, and it was probably built by the old man himself.

In the side room of the small courtyard, the old man was lying on the bed without making a sound.

There are some people around inside and outside the house at the moment, three sons and three daughters, the youngest and the oldest are quite different in age, and each of them has already married and brought their family over.

Everyone was crying loudly and making a lot of noise, but no one seemed to notice that an outsider had entered the courtyard.

Yi Shuyuan hadn't been outside the courtyard just now, and he felt annoying hearing the noise inside, which would make his ears even more buzzing.

"Father, why did you pass away suddenly!" "It's too late to be filial!"

"Hypocritical." "Who are you calling hypocritical?"

"Who knows who is lying, I asked you to come over and accompany me last month, and today my father is gone, but he is here!"

"We also came to see him last month. Dad is pretty good. Don't you stay here every day? Don't you work?"

"It's only been a few months, and the ground is freezing!" "We didn't come, but we paid for it!"

"Just your two pennies?" "What about the second child, he didn't do anything, and the three sisters?"

"Stop arguing, stop arguing."

"Oh dad, you just left."

Some people were still crying, and some people had already quarreled. It seemed that whoever had the loudest voice was justified in the quarrel, so Yi Shuyuan couldn't help but dig his ears.

"Why are the children born like this? Maybe it's just that they behaved badly at this moment?"

Some neighbors were discussing in twos and threes in front of their house or by the side of the road, but after all, someone died there, and no one approached.

"who are you?"

Finally, someone found Yi Shuyuan in the courtyard. The person who was questioning was a middle-aged man, who probably was his son-in-law, but it couldn't be his son anyway.

Others were crying just because they were arguing, obviously not caring about others outside.

Yi Shuyuan took a look at the small road when he just came here, how can he help?
Forget it, use my own method.

So facing the question, Yi Shuyuan raised his voice slightly, and answered with a clear voice.

"My surname is Yi. I was taken care of by old man Yu. I rented an old house in the outskirts of the city for two years. I still owe most of the rent. Today I am here to return the house and make up the rent."

Yi Shuyuan's voice was not too loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. Hearing that he owed the old man money, many people who were arguing and crying looked over, and even the quarreling sound became weaker.

The person who asked the question just now asked again.

"I don't know how much rent you owe?"

Yi Shuyuan glanced at the room, and was blocked by someone, he could only see the corner of the bed, but could not see the body, so he replied.

"The rent for about sixteen months should be eight hundred Wen."

"Eight hundred words?"

Someone came out of the room and looked Yi Shuyuan up and down.

"Still sixteen months? Can you rent a house in Mingzhou with this money?"

"That's to say, [-] Wen a month is about the same. It's just empty talk after seeing my father die!"

"Looking at how gentle you are, how can you be so kind-hearted, and you have the guts to say such words?"

At this time, one or two of the children and relatives came out.

Good guy, the people who had been arguing just now will speak out unanimously, and it also made Yi Shuyuan whisper secretly. This trick works really well.

However, this question is not even a fart for Yi Shuyuan, who has experienced the baptism of Internet bullies. In the eyes of others, Yi Shuyuan's eyes are always attracted by the room, and he will frown from time to time.

"Hey, what are you looking around for?"

"what?"

Yi Shuyuan looked at the old man's children as if he had just recovered.

"Ah, what? We're talking about the rent. The rent for one and a half years can't be only [-] Wen. According to the market price in Mingzhou City, it's at least a dozen taels!"

I'll go, this price can be regarded as a lion's mouth, Yi Shuyuan couldn't help but look at the man who spoke, this should be the one who had the loudest quarrel just now.

"I said, brother, your market price should be a good house with a courtyard and a well in Mingzhou City. I live in an old house on the outskirts of the city. It is hard to avoid the wind and cold in winter, and I can't repel mosquitoes in summer. There is no well in the courtyard. It’s quite a few miles to and from the city.”

"It has been deserted for so long, and Yi went to live and helped to clean up and take care of it. Eight hundred Wen is indeed low, but more than ten taels is too much!"

Listening to the way the person in front of him speaks with reason and evidence, and looking at this attire, he should be knowledgeable.

The children in the courtyard seemed to feel that it was indeed over.

"Eh, let's do it this way, eight hundred Wen is too little, you can give eight taels of silver!"

Yi Shuyuan nodded, and readily took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, and handed it to the man who seemed to be the boss of the family.

"Really." "That dilapidated house is worth [-] taels of rent?"

"shush"

Yi Shu Yuanquan pretended not to hear,
"It's exactly eight taels here, do you need to weigh it?"

"No, no, no, trustworthy!"

The boss weighed the money in his hand, which must be more than the eight taels, and the others stopped talking, and all stared at the boss's hand.

Although eight taels of silver is not an exaggerated amount of money, it is not too big or small to hold it in the hands.

Yi Shuyuan shook his head and looked into the room again.

"The rent is paid, and it's easy for someone to say a word."

The boss smiled and completely changed his attitude, holding the money in his hands and listening attentively.

"You say what you say."

"Don't doze off these few nights during the wake, the big yellow dog at home must be fed well, otherwise, if dirty things are brought in to contaminate the old man's body, it will be unfortunate for the family!"

Yi Shuyuan's face was serious, and he turned and left without waiting for others to reply after speaking.

Hearing these words, the faces of the children and relatives in the courtyard changed. They looked at each other for a while, and after everyone realized it, they chased after each other and tried to persuade them to stay.

"Sir, sir, stop!"

"gentlemen--"

Yi Shu Yuanben had already walked out of the courtyard quickly, and at this moment he couldn't help but stop and turn around to look back.

"What else?"

"Sir, what do you mean by what you just said?" "Yes, what did you mean by what you just said?"

A few people came over, and now Yi Shuyuan's gray hair was extraordinary, and he didn't look like an ordinary person, and he came here on the day his father died.

Thinking back now, just now he frowned frequently and looked at the room, which made people feel a little flustered.

Yi Shuyuan looked serious, hesitated for a moment and said.

"I can't say it clearly, I can't go into details, but I think you are filial, so I will say one more thing. When you keep the mourning, you must have three sons and three daughters. The mourning hall must not be noisy, and wild dogs and cats are not allowed to enter. Remember."

"Don't cry loudly, don't quarrel with each other and disturb the corpse, after the wake, you can choose a day for burial, and you will be fine, and you will be able to bless your descendants!"

This is so serious, and he pinches his fingers when he speaks, obviously he is not an ordinary person at all.

Moreover, Yi Shuyuan's voice was weird at the moment, that deep voice brought a kind of tension and a touch of fear to everyone, and it made goose bumps on people's backs.

"Dare to ask, uh, dare to ask what the mage's name is"

"I, Yi Daozi, I am a loose man in the mountains and fields. Don't forget what I said today. Remember, don't make any noise. This is all I have to say, and I am leaving."

After finishing speaking, Yi Shuyuan left without looking back after saying this, leaving everyone in Yu's courtyard looking at each other anxiously.

Yi Shuyuan walked away quickly with a serious face, and when he walked outside the alley where he just met the old man, his serious face could no longer hold back, and a narrow smile appeared on his face.

When a talent dies, even though the soul has already left, some voices can still be heard in the ear.

Uncle Yu, Uncle Yu, your mourning hall must be very clean these days!
Even if the children of the Yu family had the possibility to ask someone to ask about it, they would rather believe it or not, anyway, it was only a few days.

"Oh, old man Yu, maybe he didn't go to the underworld."

Yi Shuyuan felt something in his heart at this moment, and looked in the direction of the Earth Temple in the city, but he had no plans to find out.

There are several possibilities for this newly dead soul, perhaps it is the reincarnation of a former expert.

It's just that at the step of reincarnation, even if there is a memory of the past, he is no longer him, and the memory of the past is like the books he reads, and only the particularly profound ones will resonate, and there is some cause and effect.

Unless there is no loss in the womb, the chances of this are very slim, and even the doll smudged with the ink of the universe will still be lost in the womb after all.

But it's better than dying completely, isn't it?

Uncle Yu, maybe we will meet again in the future!

With this thought in mind, Yi Shuyuan walked out of this residential area briskly with a smile on his face, and walked along the main road in the city towards the outskirts of the city.

When I arrived at Qingyuan Street, I found that someone in Qingyuan Teahouse was telling a story, and many tea drinkers were listening to it, but there was no such thing as the famous crowd blocking the street.

The people in the building and the shopkeeper obviously didn't notice Yi Shuyuan passing by, and he didn't intend to go in to disturb others. Let's talk about it later when we talk about books.

In the old house on the outskirts of the city, Yi Shuyuan didn't have anything to clean up. He just put away some bedding, pillows and other things, took away some dishes and chopsticks he bought, and then cast a spell to sweep away all the dust inside and outside the house.

It takes less than a cup of tea to tidy everything up.

Yi Shuyuan closed the unlocked door, came out, looked around the courtyard, and then looked at the surrounding wilderness.

"In summer, the fireflies are like a sea, it's still very beautiful."

Yi Shuyuan felt that he was just a passerby, but at this moment, he couldn't help but have other thoughts in his mind.

If there is no change in this place in a few years, it may be possible to buy this piece of land from Old Man Yu's descendants.

"It's time to put a plaque on the door and call it Yinghaiju? Hey, not bad!"
