Xu Lian took Li Xiya and Yang Chaner around to familiarize themselves with this new home.
The house has two main rooms, four side rooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen connected to the woodshed, and a cellar.
In addition, there is a small garden at the back and a small yard in the front.
It is totally the configuration of a wealthy family.
It can be seen that Li Xiya and Yang Chaner are very happy here.
Li Xiya seemed to remember something, "Brother Lian, the eldest young master of the Pei family gave you such a nice house. What he asked you to do should be difficult, right?"
"It's not too difficult. It's already been done."
Xu Lian separated the two women who were holding hands. He squeezed in between, holding one of them with each hand.
It is indeed not difficult. Just as the mining inspector said, the higher-ups have actually already decided that the head of the Pei family will be the next mayor. It's just that the Pei family didn't know about it and felt uneasy, so they asked Xu Lian to use the relationship with the mining inspector. In this way, he got a bargain for nothing.
Hearing him say this, Li Xiya felt relieved and stopped asking any more questions.
Wang Cuiyun called the three of them to eat, dinner was ready.
The four of them took the meal to the living room to eat, which was not as crowded as the old mud house in the old street.
"Master, now that we have this big house, shouldn't we hire some maids to serve us?"
Wang Cuiyun picked up a piece of chicken for Xu Lian, her eyes full of anticipation, and she began to dream of being served.
Xu Lian stuffed the chicken into his mouth. It was a big piece. He ate the meat in a moment and spat out the bones. "Well, I'll buy you a dozen maids and find you a companion. By the way, do you want a companion or a strong man?"
Li Xiya blushed and gently hit Xu Lian, "You are so frivolous."
Yang Chaner laughed while eating.
Wang Cuiyun was a little embarrassed for once, and said awkwardly, "No need to find a man for me, I don't need that."
Xu Lian said, "Our family has just become well-off, it is not the time to buy maids to serve us yet."
What is a well-off society
Wang Cuiyun was at a loss. Knowing that Xu Lian had no plans to buy a maid, she stopped talking. If things continued like this, he would have to buy one sooner or later. She still didn't believe that Xu Lian didn't want more women to serve him. No one understood men better than her.
Had dinner.
Xu Lian brought a small ceramic cup, poured the small bottle of blood he brought back from the mine into the cup, opened the door, and placed it at the door.
It is important to know when to place the ceramic cup at the door.
If it is placed too early, the ceramic cup will be stolen, and the night watchman will break into the house and suck the whole family dry before he can drink the blood.
If it was placed too late, the night watchman would come and go crazy if he didn't drink the blood. Or if the night watchman happened to run into him when the ceramic cup was placed, then it would be all over.
Therefore, the timing of placing the ceramic cup at the door must be well-timed, so that others do not have time to steal it, and the night watchman will not be left without blood to drink. Only in this way will it work.
Xu Lian saw that several wealthy families next door had also opened their doors and were placing ceramic cups. They all did it at almost the same time, showing a tacit understanding.
Several wealthy families noticed that this idle house was already occupied by someone. They were stunned for a moment and nodded to him as a greeting.
Xu Lian bowed slightly and closed the door.
After doing all this, he did not go back to the house directly, but waited at the door, listening quietly outside to prevent the blood at the door from being stolen by someone.
A big house is troublesome. When it was an old house on the old street, if someone stole blood at the door, it would be easy to hear it. Now the gate of this house is far away from the house, so we can't be careless.
Hearing the sound of several wealthy families nearby closing their doors and the "da da da" sound of bamboo clappers being knocked on the street, Xu Lian knew that the night watchman was coming, so he returned to the house with peace of mind. No one dared to steal blood outside at this time.
Wang Cuiyun lived alone in a main room, Li Xiya and Yang Chaner lived in another main room. Xu Lian knew where he should live at a glance, and he didn't mind being a little crowded.
The oil lamp fire was blown out and the wonderful night began again.
Just as the battle was fierce, the purple jade plate placed on the table beside the couch suddenly emitted purple light, and the white fox pattern on it came to life.
"What's this?"
Li Xiya, sweating profusely, was surprised.
Xu Lian also looked at the purple jade card in confusion. After a moment, the purple light slowly dimmed and disappeared into the darkness. Everything returned to normal. "Nothing. This is something given to me by the higher-ups."
Li Xiya didn't ask any more questions.
Yang Chan'er didn't react at all, because she was so tired that she fell asleep... curled up in the corner like a kitten.
One night.
I have something to say.
After this little episode, the fierce battle continued.
After nearly an hour, Xu Lian finally fell asleep contentedly.
When he was falling into a deep sleep, he heard a faint sigh in his ears, which made him shudder and get goose bumps all over his body, and he woke up suddenly.
In the dark, I saw that Li Xiya and Yang Chaner didn't wake up. Could it be that they couldn't hear me
Xu Lian held his breath, concentrated, and listened attentively.
I heard the faint voice again, as if whispering from the abyss, "Come back, don't leave me."
Lost! Xu Lian's face turned green.
Is there something haunted in this house
But when he thought about it carefully, it didn't seem right. He had no grudge against Pei Heng, and Pei Heng needed him to do something, so it was impossible for him to give him a spooky house.
In other words, Pei Heng didn't know that there was something strange about this house.
Li Xiya, Yang Xiaochan and Wang Cuiyun who lived here also had no reaction, and the wealthy families around had not heard of any ghost stories.
What does this indicate
Does this mean that only a warrior like him can hear this sound
"I have to go check it out, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well, and it might even put Sister Xiya and Chan'er in danger."
Xu Lian is not very courageous, but as the only man in the family, he has to go and take a look.
He put on his clothes and held a sharp knife in his hand.
After thinking for a while, he picked up the purple jade token again, ready to ask the mine patrol officer for help at any time... He just didn't know whether the mine patrol officer would come to rescue him, which was a comfort to him.
With a slight "creaky" sound, he opened the door and went out, closing it tightly to prevent any dirty things from sneaking in.
"I was so lonely after you left."
The faint voice was still murmuring, and Xu Lian felt his scalp tingling. What the hell, what a weird thing.
He followed the direction of the sound, walked lightly and in the dark.
Fortunately, as a warrior, he had very good eyesight, so he didn't have to worry about being attacked in the dark.
Hearing the sound getting closer, he walked to the back garden and saw an old well.
The well mouth is round and made of bluestone. It is bumpy and covered with moss, giving it a sense of age.
"What demon or monster is haunting the well?"
Xu Lian stopped three feet away from the old well, not daring to get too close. He held a sharp knife in his right hand and a purple jade plate in his left hand, ready to fight with the knife... and ask for help at any time.
In the old well, the faint sound suddenly stopped and everything became silent.
Then, a joyful voice was heard, "You're back?"
What the hell, you must have recognized the wrong person... Xu Lian's face was grim, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
The voice in the well said sadly, "It's been so long, don't you remember me?"
I remember the head of Nima! Xu Lian cursed in his heart, took a deep breath, and said in a gentle tone, "I am a new resident."
