Chapter 259 Buying a House
The heavy rain lasted for a whole month.

This "flood rainy season" is more severe than last year, with very few sunny days. Because the rain fell too much and too quickly, many streets in Xiaxu were flooded.

Including where Zhang Yuan lives.

But to his surprise, local gang members soon came and cleaned up the garbage that was blocking the sewer.

The accumulated water was discharged smoothly.

This incident may seem insignificant, but it made Zhang Yuan realize that there must be a complete drainage system under this huge ruined city.

It is most likely a masterpiece of the Xia Dynasty!

But he was really surprised that after such a long time and the rainy season every year, this sewage system could still function normally.

A few days later, the "flood rain season" came to an end and the heavy rain turned into drizzle.

And at this moment, two uninvited guests suddenly came to visit.

One of them was the dentist from the dental clinic.

The other person was an old man in a brocade robe with white hair and a haggard face.

"Master Protector."

The broker bowed respectfully to Zhang Yuan and introduced him, "This is Mr. Liang, who lives next door to you. I have something important to discuss with you, so I have no choice but to come and visit you."

The old man in brocade robes also bowed to Zhang Yuan and said, "I am Liang Sansi, honored to meet the Dharma Protector."

Zhang Yuan glanced at the other person calmly, nodded and said, "Come in."

He has lived here for some time, but has never had much contact with his neighbors.

It can be said that we have never met before.

Judging from the other party's appearance, he must have come here out of necessity.

After asking the two to sit down in the main hall, Zhang Yuan went straight to the point and asked, "Mr. Liang, what can I do for you?
As the saying goes, one does not visit someone without a request. Even if the person is a neighbor, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him to bring a broker to visit.

Mr. Liang swallowed his saliva and told Zhang Yuan in detail about the difficulties he had encountered.

It turned out that Zhang Yuan's neighbor had accidentally offended the Wuwei Sect recently. First, he was bullied by the other party, and then his only son was set up and lost tens of thousands of taels of silver in one go!

Poor Mr. Liang worked hard all his life and finally accumulated wealth, but now it was about to be lost.

But there is no other way. If he cannot pay off this gambling debt, he will have to pay with his life.

There is no government office in Xiaxu to redress grievances, and the Heavenly King Palace will not take care of such matters.

Wuwei Gate, it’s Wuwei Gate again!
Zhang Yuan remembered his house. The original landlord had offended Wuweimen and was forced to buy the house.

Then he came to Zhang Yuan for help, and he bought it directly with his Taoist skills.

Later, Wuweimen came to cause trouble.

It was just that they were wary of Zhang Yuan's identity as the guardian of the Heavenly King Palace, so the matter was left unresolved.

I didn't expect the same thing to happen again.

Simply outrageous.

The Wuwei Sect is really good at killing pigs!
Zhang Yuan was also convinced.

He couldn't help but ask, "What does Mr. Liang mean?"

Liang wiped the tears from his eyes and said with a wry smile, "I am about to die, and I really can't protect my family anymore, so I plan to spend money to avoid disaster."

He planned to sell all the houses and shops in the city in exchange for a peaceful life.

Just like Jia Chen, the former landlord of Zhang Yuan’s house.

"I have heard about Jia Chen's affairs, so I came to ask for an audience. I wonder if the Lord Protector is willing to buy my house. If the two houses are connected, the area will be much larger!"

Selling the house to yourself?
Zhang Yuan didn't expect that the other party had such intention.

As for buying the house next door...

He was really tempted.

Zhang Yuan has lived in this house for almost a year, and the space is more than enough for him to live by himself.

The only problem is that the yard is not big, which makes it inconvenient to practice martial arts and unable to fully display fists, kicks and swordsmanship.

It would be really nice if you could buy the house next door and connect it up!

Zhang Yuan asked in a deep voice, "How much do you want to sell it for?" Liang Yuanwai swallowed his saliva and answered carefully, "Three thousand seven hundred, no, how about three thousand five hundred taels of silver?"

His eyes were full of confusion, and he was afraid of offending Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment.

The price of three thousand five hundred taels of silver is really not expensive!
Although Xia Ruins is located in a remote borderland, it is the largest city and human settlement within a radius of a thousand miles.

The overall situation has remained stable for hundreds of years.

So the housing prices are quite high.

Zhang Yuan won't lose money if he buys it. If he leaves in the future, he can just sell it.

He stood up and said, "Okay, let's go to the Heavenly King Hall to handle the formalities."

The transfer of houses, properties and shops in Xiaxu is handled in Tianwang Hall.

From a certain perspective, the Hall of Heavenly Kings assumes some of the powers and responsibilities of the government.

In fact, if Zhang Yuan wanted to bargain, he could probably get another one or two hundred taels down.

But this Mr. Liang is already pitiful enough.

There is no need to force it with authority.

He brought the other party and the broker who served as a witness to the Heavenly King Hall.

Zhang Yuan asked the other party to wait in the outer hall while he went to find Master Xuancheng.

When they met, Zhang Yuan said directly: "Brother Xuancheng, I want to borrow three thousand five hundred taels of silver from you."

There was no way. Even if all his savings were added up, it would probably not be enough to raise even a hundred taels.

Without borrowing money, how could I afford to buy this house?

Zhang Yuan believed that based on his friendship with Master Xuancheng and the latter's identity.

This request will never put the other party in a difficult position.

Master Xuancheng did not ask why, and answered very straightforwardly, "Yes."

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "I'll return it to you within a month."

Xuan Cheng may not care about three or five thousand taels of silver, but he must make it clear, otherwise it would not be the way of friendship.

The "flood rainy season" is about to end, and Zhang Yuan plans to go to Taiwu Mountain again.

Hunt rare birds and beasts, and search for spiritual materials and herbs.

Pay off your debt first, then save some money to get through the winter!

Zhang Yuan had previously accepted a long-term mission in the Heavenly King Palace, so he might as well do it at the same time.

Master Xuancheng doesn't care about the repayment issue.

He sent out a letter, and soon someone delivered the silver that Zhang Yuan needed.

A big, heavy bag.

With this money, Zhang Yuan successfully completed the house transfer procedures with Mr. Liang.

Got my own house deed.

Now Zhang Yuan’s residence in Xiaxu can be expanded more than twice, which is enough for him to do whatever he wants!
Of course, he also owed a lot of debts because of this.

Zhang Yuan didn't care about it.

It would be a joke if a fourth-rank warrior was stumped by a mere few thousand taels of silver!
What's more, he is not an ordinary fourth-level person.

Two days later.

The "flood rainy season" has completely ended, and the sky is clear and blue without any clouds.

Zhang Yuan took out his iron-framed bow, put on his sword, and carried a bag of dry food.

After leaving the ruined city, they once again headed towards the dangerous and unpredictable Taiwu Mountain.

Zhang Yuan had already made up his mind that he would not make more than four or five thousand taels of silver this time.

He won't end the adventure!
