Chapter 18 The Murderous House is the Cheapest

Poofโ€”

Lin Xiaoyan is temporarily wearing this era, and she may go back at any time, she would rather have her own independent female household than get married.

After all, marriage is a matter of two people, not the words of the matchmaker of her parents, if she is free to fall in love and marry freely, what is the difference between that kind of emotionless marriage and the grave.

"Little girl liar, you don't believe what I say?" The shopkeeper asked again.

"Shopkeeper, I don't want to ask you about the feng shui in your store, what does the 'Jinmei Building' across the road do?" Lin Xiaoyan asked calmly.

"That'...... There is ...... Little girl liar, let me ask you, do you buy a store, ask what are you doing with these? โ€

The shopkeeper's face changed in vain, what kind of place was 'Jin Mei Lou', he must know, and even in a month or two, he would visit seven or eight times, not to mention that the girl there was much more comfortable than his mother-in-law.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Lin Xiaoyan continued: "Just now I passed by Dongling Street, and I also found the ...... 'Flower Pavilion', 'Qunfang Garden', 'Yunliang Pavilion', and 'Yihong Courtyard' similar to 'Meijin Building'."

"Shopkeeper, when you buy a store in such a place where yin and yang are in decline, haven't you ever been angry about cutting prices?"

"If you continue to insist on going your own way, let alone buying, I'm afraid that even renting it will be a problem, after all, it is too small to use as a brothel, not enough rooms for inns, and too big for buying dried seafood."

After Lin Xiaoyan explained the disadvantages of the shopkeeper's store, she found that his expression was gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking when he lowered his head, and said: "The shopkeeper, I'll give you a suggestion, twenty taels of silver with the title deed, I'll buy it now." โ€

"Twenty taels?" When the shopkeeper heard the price, he was stunned, and immediately said: "My store is next to the Qinglou, but it will not be sold cheaply. โ€

After finishing speaking, the three men standing behind the shopkeeper stepped forward and stared at Lin Xiaoyan and Lin Xiaohua fiercely.

Lin Xiaohua was a country girl who had never seen the world, and after this, she trembled and approached Lin Xiaoyan and persuaded: "Sister, let's go back." โ€

Get back?

When she returned to Li's house in Niutian Village, was she called to continue to be a maid?

Isn't it just a little silver, she Lin Xiaoyan earns her own money and spends it.

She stretched out her right hand and patted Lin Xiaohua's hand on her arm and said, "Sister, don't be afraid, we will definitely be able to buy the store today." โ€

The shopkeeper listened to this, he looked carefully at the two little peasant girls in front of him, pursed his mouth, motioned to the three families to step back, stepped forward, and said to Lin Xiaoyan: "Little girl, although my uncle doesn't know what you have to do when you buy a store, but for your sincerity, my uncle will remind you that there is no store that can be bought for twenty taels of silver on Donglin Street, but there is a place where you can try it......"

Lin Xiaoyan walked 500 meters along the east street according to the place dictated by the shopkeeper, then walked 100 meters to the right, and walked through the alley Lin Xiaoyan and Lin Xiaohua to the main road.

The houses on this road are all built with white walls and glazed tiles, and a gust of sea breeze blew, Lin Xiaohua trembled, leaned towards Lin Xiaoyan's side, and said: "Sister, this street is swishing, why didn't I see a few people, you say, shouldn't this place be haunted." โ€

Lin Xiaoyan looked around, this street was much more luxurious than the street they saw just now, and it seemed that it should be the place where the people on the east street lived.

The only thing that makes people feel strange is that there are a pair of stone lions on the left and right sides of the doors, and there is no end to the street, and there is not even a small vendor selling things.

Even in broad daylight, the residents of the place remained closed.

Such a strange scene is the first time Lin Xiaoyan has encountered it, but after thinking about it, the shopkeeper said that there is a small courtyard on this street that will be sold for twenty taels of silver, which not only contains the title deed, but also the area is more than ten times larger than his store.

"People are afraid of ghosts because they are terrifying, and ghosts are afraid of people because people are more vicious than ghosts." Lin Xiaoyan replied indifferently, took a step forward, and went to find the one hundred and eleventh number that the shopkeeper told her.

She walked more than ten steps, and Lin Xiaohua suddenly called out with an "ah".

"Sister, look, there's a person hanging there."

Lin Xiaoyan looked in the direction of Lin Xiaohua's finger, two stone lions taller than human shapes, behind them was a vermilion gate, a broken red lantern hung on the left side above the gate, and a person in white clothes hung on the right side, because he had loose hair, so he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.

Lin Xiaoyan stepped forward curiously, and was pulled by Lin Xiaohua and said, "Sister, don't go, I'm ...... I'm afraid. โ€

"Sister, then you wait for me here." After Lin Xiaoyan finished explaining, she strode to the door of No. 111.

The sea breeze blows, and the people hanging from the door follow and squeak

"Ahh

Lin Xiaohua was so frightened that her face turned pale, she screamed, covered her ears with her hands, and squatted on the ground.

At this moment, before noon, the autumn sun hung lazily in the sky, reflecting the shadows of the people, houses, and stone lions on the ground.

Just when a beam of sunlight passed by the door of No. 111, Lin Xiaoyan saw the shadow of the white cloth hanging on the door, and when she walked in to take a look, she smiled instantly.

She stretched out her hand to push open the door, and an older voice came from behind her: "Girl, this is a murderous house, if you want to stay, you should change places." โ€

Lin Xiaoyan turned around and looked at a middle-aged man dressed in simple clothes, standing in the middle of the stone road, and his sudden appearance seemed to be drilled out of the ground.

Lin Xiaoyan looked up and down and saw that there was also a black shadow under his feet.

It seems to be people.

Lin Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "No, I'm here to buy this room." โ€

"Buy?" The middle-aged man said in surprise, "But this house is haunted?" โ€

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the figure hanging on the door, pulled hard, revealing a scarecrow with long black hair, and said, "You mean, he?" โ€

The middle-aged man's face turned gray in an instant, and he couldn't believe his eyes, that scarecrow he had been hanging there for years.

Coupled with the fact that it was close to the sea, the scarecrow would sway from side to side at the slightest hint of wind and grass, and later he would make a move on the hook.

Every time a scarecrow dressed in white shakes it, it makes a "squeak" sound.

Therefore, many people who are greedy for cheap are scared away, and even so, they are still recognized by a little girl.

For a while, he squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Xiaoyan and said, "Even if a ghost crawls on your bed in the middle of the night, you are not afraid." โ€

"The scariest thing is that people pretend to be scary." Lin Xiaoyan said: "This uncle dares to ask if this cloth is yours?" โ€
