Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Courtyard
"Master Gu, it's okay here, right?"
Hu Zengwu had a smile on his chubby face, looking quite happy.
He had a layer of oily sweat stains on his forehead, and some beads of sweat hung on his cheeks, and he raised his hand to wipe it from time to time, because his hands were a little dirty, and his face also had some black marks, which was even more strange to look at.
Although it was late in the evening, the weather was still sweltering, and the white shirt he was wearing was dark on the chest and back, and it was all soaked with sweat.
Gu Xinyan paced back and forth in the courtyard, with no expression on his face.
The yard is not big, the ground is beaten with triple soil, the courtyard wall is not high, there are ivy climbing on it, and the vine has small pale yellow flowers, and the evening breeze blows, gently swaying.
On one side of the yard, there is a yellow horn orchid tree, and at this time, although the flowering period has passed, there are still some flowers hanging tenaciously on the branches, wafting with the wind fragrance.
There is a sink under the tree, with a faucet on it, and then a water pipe, as long as you gently twist the faucet, there will be white water flowing out. It is very convenient to wash and wash clothes here, and the clothes can be hung in the yard after washing and wringing out, and the north-south direction across the courtyard is a clothesline, at this time, it is empty.
There are three main rooms in the courtyard, the middle is a hall house, and there are two bedrooms on both sides, the kitchen is on the left side of the main house, and the toilet is on the right, and the kitchen and toilet are relatively far away.
Gu Xinyan had already entered the house, the furniture was complete, and even the bedding was ready to stop, all of which were brand new.
Hu Guoba told Hu Zengwu that Gu Xinyan wanted to rent a room outside to live, but Hu Zengwu said that he wanted to help Gu Xinyan find a house. In less than two days, taking advantage of the gap between school in the afternoon and evening self-study, Hu Zengwu went to the school to find Hu Guoba, and then came here with Gu Xinyan.
It is not far from the railway, just near the train station, and is the family home of the public works section of the railway.
"How?"
Hu Zengwu asked with a nervous expression.
He forgot to wipe his sweat, beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks, lingered on his fat chin for a moment, and then, falling from the air, shattering on the ground.
"What else? That's it! ”
On the side, Hu Guoba said happily.
"There are two houses here, and I can also move in ......."
Hu Zengwu turned his head and glared at the excited Hu Guoba.
Gu Xinyan lowered his head and groaned slightly.
Xiao Nan got under him, raised his head, and looked at Gu Xinyan's gaze with more agility.
During this time, he followed Gu Xinyan and Hu Guoba, and he was full of curiosity, learning everything, and doing it in the same way, slowly growing up.
However, his paranoia has not diminished in the slightest.
Every half an hour, well, more accurate than the alarm clock, his eyes would become lifeless, and he kept talking about revenge in Gu Xinyan's ear......
And so, it took a minute before it was back to normal.
Gu Xinyan naturally wanted to help him fulfill this wish, otherwise, when he went to the toilet, there would be a little kid who looked at him with curious eyes, so don't feel too sour.
"It's a nice place here, but the rent?"
Gu Xinyan raised his head and said with a frown.
"Rent?"
Hu Zengwu smiled dumbly.
"There is no rent, I have paid all the rent for a year in this courtyard, Master Gu, although you can rest assured that you can live until you graduate from junior high school, if you want to continue to live after graduation, Hu will help you solve it...... You must know that if there is no master to come forward, most of Hu will have already crossed! ”
Hu Zengwu's words are not an exaggeration.
After Duan Erwa's accident, the construction of the bus station was temporarily stopped, and no one dared to continue to work. After all, Duan Erwa was ghosted in front of everyone, and no one wants to be the next unlucky one! Even if Hu Zengwu increased his salary, no one still wanted to work, although money was important, if he didn't die, he would have nowhere to spend it.
Gu Xinyan solved Duan Erwa's matter, and after Duan Erwa returned to the construction site, the project started again, after all, the parties came back, proving that even if there were dirty things there, most of them were also subdued by the mage.
The day before yesterday, Hu Zengwu came to the school and gave a red envelope to Gu Xinyan.
The red envelope is sealed with a hundred yuan, which is not much, but it just means.
Hu Zengwu's head of the gift to Gu Xinyan was here, and he rented a small courtyard with a good environment for Gu Xinyan to live in. After all, he found out from Hu Guoba that Gu Xinyan had to practice every day. In this case, the environment is very important, otherwise, he will most likely find a building for Gu Xinyan.
You know, people nowadays like to live in buildings, which seems to be a little more foreign.
The reason why Hu Zengwu withdrew from the construction club and became the contractor was because he had a unique vision and was good at dancing with long sleeves, and he didn't want to make a deal with Gu Xinyan.
After this incident, Hu Zengwu was already convinced of things like the supernatural feng shui formation of gods and ghosts.
In this life, I don't know when I accidentally stepped on ****, and when I encountered such a strange thing again, at that time, my friendship with Gu Xinyan would also come in handy.
Being a human being requires being prepared.
This small monetary expenditure is insignificant in comparison.
Gu Xinyan did not push hypocritically, but nodded, he arched his hand towards Hu Zengwu very anciently, and said seriously.
"Fifth uncle, this time I will admit my affection to Xiao Gu!"
Hu Zengwu opened his mouth and smiled, waving his hand again and again.
"Master Gu, you can't deserve it! Deserved! ”
At this time, Hu Guoba, who had long been impatient, interjected on the side.
"Okay, okay, don't be so polite, boss, we still have to go back to the evening self-study, and we will move after the evening self-study?"
He looked at Gu Xinyan's eyes very sincerely.
"Boss, can I move in too? In this way, you can follow the old school, boss, you also have one more errand, don't you? ”
Hu Guoba's dark face smiled brightly.
"Guoba, you ......"
Hu Zengwu's face sank, his eyes rolled, and he peeked at Gu Xinyan's movements.
He wished that Hu Guoba and Gu Xinyan would be friendly, and it was best to eat and live together, otherwise he would not rent a yard with several rooms. Before, there was also a house on the side of the grain station, and the house was located inside the grain station, and outside the door was a wide cement field used to dry grain.
It was because there was only one room, so Hu Zengwu did not rent there.
Gu Xinyan smiled.
"It's very wide here, you can live if you want, no one will hold you, but if you come across some strange things while living here, don't make a fuss!"
Hu Guoba patted his chest hard.
"Brother Pao, don't be happy, boss, you just put a hundred hearts, it won't be long before I can help, and I won't hold you back!"
Gu Xinyan smiled and didn't speak.
After that, he locked the courtyard door and handed the key to Gu Xinyan, and Hu Zengwu walked in the direction of the train station, he wanted to go to the canning factory to do something.
Gu Xinyan took a key and handed it to Hu Guoba, and the two walked in the direction of the school.
Afraid that they would not be able to study in time for the evening, they did not take the main street, but walked the path behind the main street, passing through the factory area of the Five Brick Factory, where they could enter through the back door of the school.
Halfway through, at a three-way intersection, Gu Xinyan stopped.
"Boss, let's go, are you going to be late?"
Hu Guoba took two quick steps forward, overtaking Gu Xinyan, he stopped and looked back and said anxiously.
Gu Xinyan looked to the left with a solemn expression.
Hu Guoba knew that it must be the little ghost there, the little ghost who liked to lie on his shoulder and blow air. Later, Gu Xinyan used a secret method to open his eyes in a short period of time, and he also saw that little ghost, who looked quite cute, not fierce at all, who would have thought that he almost ruined the Duan family.
Hu Guoba wants to keep his eyes open and deal with those dirty things.
However, Gu Xinyan did not do so.
Gu Xinyan told him that he had not practiced qi in his body now, so opening his eyes was a burden to him, and it was easy to attract those dirty things to get closer.
It's not a good thing for him to have no protection and attract dirty things.
"What's the matter?"
Hu Guoba asked.
"You go back first, I'm going back to school later......"
Gu Xinyan said with a frown.
On his left side, Xiao Nan's eyes turned blood-red, he lowered his head, looked at the ground, kept sniffing, and circled back and forth at the intersection, like a spinning top.
I should have smelled the enemy.
It's a pity that people come and go at these three forks in the road, and for a while, the aura of red dust is too strong, and it is not easy to distinguish the breath of the enemy, even if he is a ghost.
In the end, Xiao Nan still chose a direction and floated over there.
Gu Xinyan put his hands behind his back and slowly followed.
"I'll go too!"
Hu Guoba hurriedly said and followed.
