Chapter 19: The Secret of the "Murderous House".
The middle-aged man's face sank, he walked up to Lin Xiaoyan with his hands behind his back, glanced at her, and said angrily: "Girl, don't blame the uncle for not reminding you, it is a real murderous house, if you want to buy it, twenty taels of silver, I will immediately give you the house deed and the title deed." ”
"I'm tired." Lin Xiaoyan replied politely.
At this time, the middle-aged man stopped talking, pushed open the vermilion door and walked straight inside, Lin Xiaoyan ran to the side of the road to help Lin Xiaohua up, and said to her: "Go, sister, I'll show you our new house." ”
Lin Xiaohua's eyes were dilated, thinking of the picture of the man in white blowing in the wind, her heart was terrified, Lin Xiaoyan helped her to the gate, pointed to it with her finger and said: "Sister, it is made of scarecrows, specifically to scare you cowardly people, come in with me." ”
Lin Xiaohua looked up and jumped up in fright, when she listened to Lin Xiaoyan's words, she looked at the "person" carefully: "Sister, he is really made of straw, hehe......"
"Come on in."
The middle-aged uncle stood at the door silently and said.
The frightened Lin Xiaohua's body trembled, looked towards the door, saw a strange uncle, and wanted to ask, but Lin Xiaoyan had already walked in with her.
The garden and landscape here are not bad, in addition to many withered yellow leaves all over the yard, there is also a soaphorn tree full of fruits.
Lin Xiaoyan remembered that the fruit of soaphorn was very useful, it could be used as traditional Chinese medicine, food, and can also be used to wash hair and clothes.
"Uncle, do you know how this family died?" Lin Xiaoyan asked curiously.
The uncle who led the way stopped when he stepped out, and said quietly: "Gu poison." ”
Gu poison?
Lin Xiaoyan frowned, remembering the various martial arts novels she had read in the new era, including the introduction of Miao Jiang's Gu poison, which was very dangerous, not only to listen to the words of the Gu poisoner, but also to end up with no bones.
"Little girl, it's too late to regret it now, and it's too late to regret it later." Uncle said.
"Uncle, what do you mean?" Lin Xiaoyan asked curiously.
Isn't it, this Gu poison will be resurrected again with the person who buys a new house, if this is the case, wouldn't the Gu person be the uncle in front of him?
"Nothing interesting, just a little suggestion." Uncle said: "My family lives opposite you, you can come to me if you need anything in the future." ”
While talking, the uncle took Lin Xiaoyan to a room that looked like a study, because no one had lived in it for a long time, and it was covered with dust and cobwebs.
Uncle walked to the desk, opened the drawer inside and took out two pieces of dusty paper, he blew the dust on it, and then handed it to Lin Xiaoyan: "I have already prepared the formalities, you only need to hand over the twenty taels of silver to me, and then write your name on it, even if our transaction is over, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, knock directly on the door to find me, my king, everyone calls me Wang Yuanwai." ”
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan took out a silver ticket of twenty taels from her arms and handed it to Wang Yuanwai, and then picked up the inkstone on the desk that had not been used for a long time and began to grind.
It took about half a cup of tea for her to write her name crookedly on the house deed and land deed.
Wang Yuanwai confirmed that it was correct, handed the key to the other courtyard to Lin Xiaoyan and left.
At this time, there were only Lin Xiaoyan and Lin Xiaohua left in the big house, Lin Xiaohua looked at the dust in the house, and was surprised and happy in her heart.
What she likes is that she can finally live in a house that does not leak wind or rain.
She was sad that this seemingly good courtyard was actually a murderous house.
Lin Xiaoyan looked at Lin Xiaohua, who was suffering from gains and losses, and said: "Sister, don't be afraid, if I am here, don't say that I am the Gu Poison King, even if I am a ghost, little sister, I have a way to let them push us away." ”
Staring at the smiling Lin Xiaoyan, Lin Xiaohua sneered and quipped: "Sister, why do you say that you look like an old Taoist priest with a stinky nose." ”
"Okay, sister, let's clean the new house together and have a place to stay before dark."
After Lin Xiaoyan finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and said she would do it.
The two looked around the room and found that the quilts and clothes were still ready-made, but because of the poison and no one used them for a long time, Lin Xiaoyan still took them to the yard and burned them along with the dead branches and leaves.
The two of them were almost cleaned up, and the sun was about to set in the entire courtyard.
At this time, a nice magnetic voice sounded in Lin Xiaoyan's ears: "Madam, I don't know if it's too late to come down." ”
After speaking, this person had already come to Lin Xiaoyan's eyes.
After lunch, Min Huaiye returned to the county yamen to deal with official business, but before the matter was completed, a headhunter came to report that thick black smoke was burning from the place where the house on Tanglin Street lived, and the location was No. 111 "murderous house".
Min Huaiye immediately put down the things in his hand, hurried to this side, and when he walked into the door, he saw Lin Xiaoyan busy cleaning and cleaning, and the heart hanging in his throat fell back into his stomach.
"Master Min is really good at picking a time, and he will come after the cleaning and sanitation is done."
Lin Xiaoyan was tired enough, and said on the stone table in the courtyard.
This set of large villas is cheap, but it is too big.
When she was cleaning just now, she almost rolled down the stairs on the second floor, and Lin Xiaoyan was still scared at this time.
"Didn't I go looking for something?"
Min Huaiye stood to the side, revealing a carriage full of green leaves, and four or five people standing behind it.
"Why don't you take the mugwort leaves and smoke all the rooms for Madame." Min Huaiye explained again.
"Yes, county-" Before the leader finished speaking, Min Huaiye hurriedly interrupted the other party and said: "What is it, don't do things quickly, slow down, be careful that I deduct your wages." ”
The head catcher in disguise lowered his head and did not dare to squeak.
After they walked away, they said one after another: "The county master won't have a problem with this, how can he please a woman dressed like this?" ”
"Isn't it, when our county master was in the court, that majesty was completely different from now."
"Eh, you say, our county master shouldn't be a strict wife."
……
"You guys, what are you doing standing still, don't do something quickly." Min Huaiye saw several people talking to each other from a distance, and immediately scolded.
"Min Huaiye, are you talking like this? Those who do odd jobs are also human beings, and they are also dignified, you insult them like this, be careful that everyone will strike later, and I will go there to find someone to help me smoke the house. "Lin Xiaoyan has heard of the efficacy of mugwort leaves.
Not only can it prevent the plague, but it can also kill viruses, drive away mold, and curb the spread of viruses.
A mansion like this, which has not been inhabited for a long time, is most suitable for smoking mugwort leaves, and looking at Min Huaiye buying a big carriage, Lin Xiaoyan was very grateful, but unexpectedly, he didn't treat people as human beings like this, it was too inhumane.
"What are you running, I didn't hear that Madame was busy with you saying good things, why don't you come over and thank Madame." Min Huaiye said.
