The white-robed middle-aged man in the lead hurriedly said, "In Xia Wei Kuiyang, he is a silk merchant. The old father of the family did not like to stay in the city in his old age, so he wanted to buy a house here for the old father to live in. I happened to pass by an abandoned mansion in the town, and I thought that the house was good, and I only knew about the little brother when I inquired, so I came to visit me today and wanted to buy it from my brother, and I don't know if the little brother would like to transfer it to the next brother. ”

As soon as Lin Mo heard it, he knew that what he wanted to buy was the mansion that had been abandoned for a long time and had been haunted by ghosts, so he said, "That house is really a little inconvenient to transfer. ”

When the man heard this, he hurriedly said: "I like the house very much, and I am willing to pay five hundred taels to buy the house." If you are not satisfied, the price can be negotiated. Lin Mo on the side was stunned for a moment, although the house was big, it was only in this general town and it had long been dilapidated, five hundred taels was too much, if it was really sold, fifty taels would be enough.

Lin Mo shook his head and said: "It's not a matter of price, this house has been haunted and dead in the early years, and it has been dilapidated, if it is sold to others no matter what the price is, it is a bit unconscionable, so it is better not to sell this house." I also have a courtyard in the town, although it is not big, but it is more than enough for the elderly to live, if you want, I can take you to see it, the price is easy to say, anyway, it is useless to be idle. "A gray-clothed man looked displeased when he heard it, five hundred taels of silver for a deserted house, no matter how you think about it, this person just didn't change it, wouldn't it be boring to be self-deprecating.

The middle-aged man in the white robe signaled his subordinates not to be impulsive, and then said: "Since the little brother is unwilling to transfer, it is inconvenient to continue to bother, I will wait to take a look elsewhere, there is a lot of disturbance today, and I will leave." So saying, he took his subordinates and left.

Lin Mo watched the three of them go away thoughtfully, these three people are not like ordinary people, there must be some secret matter, and this matter must be related to the Li Mansion, otherwise who would spend so much money to buy a house that has been abandoned for more than ten years.

At this time, Grandpa Lin Mo said suspiciously: "These three people are so strange, they don't look like these people from Yunzhou." Lin Mo shook his head and said: "It's none of our business, that house has long been abandoned, and it's a bit unconscionable to sell it to others, anyway, we don't lack money now, so let's put it there." Grandpa thought deeply, nodded, and then sat down with Lin Mo to chat together, and talked about what happened during this time.

Grandpa knew from the people in the town that Lin Mo had won the case, and he was praised by Lord Fu Yin, so his waist in the town was also very straight, and he praised his grandson when he met people, and now the whole town knows Lin Mo as a literary star, so he doesn't need grandpa to go out, a group of matchmakers came to the door, and matched Lin Mo and introduced the girl, grandpa is also very happy, but Lin Mo has not come back to listen to Lin Mo's meaning, and he is not the kind of old antique who has to be a matchmaker for his parents, Lin Mo likes it.

As soon as Lin Mo talked about his marriage, Lin Mo immediately diverted the topic. Grandpa said unhappily: "This year, it's gone, and it's a year older, this marriage event should also be considered, you now want to do both scientific research and run a shop, naturally you don't have much time to think about these things, grandpa also knows, but you have time to walk around and meet a girl who has a fancy to us and go to propose marriage, you are not in bad conditions, and the ladies of the big families in Chenan are estimated to be able to meet us, you have to be bold." ”

Lin Mo couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, so he had to nod his head and agree to deal with his grandfather. Wei Kuiyang and the three of them walked straight on the road in the town, and the subordinate on the side asked, "Shopkeeper, let's just leave?" Finally found a clue and let it go? ”

Wei Kuiyang said: "How is it possible, but that person is not willing to sell us, and it is not easy to rob it." Another subordinate said: "That man really doesn't know how to lift, and he won't sell five hundred taels of silver to buy a broken yard." Wei Kuiyang shook his head and said: "That person has a conscience, and he said that the yard is haunted and dead, and he would rather keep it than sell it than earn money with this conscience." ”

"So we're going to go?"

Wei Kuiyang shook his head: "We're going to investigate tonight when no one is around." ”

The two men nodded, and then the three disappeared into the street. It was night, and the three dark nights took advantage of the dark moon and high wind, and jumped from the corner of the wall into the already deserted and dilapidated Li Mansion. Looking at the dilapidated scene of the courtyard full of messes and overgrown weeds, the man in black in the lead frowned.

The two people on the side stepped forward and asked, "My lord, where do you start to find out?" The leader said, "Go to the back room," and the three of them rummaged through the house, but found nothing. "My lord, it seems that there are really no useful clues left here, so many years have passed, things are not people, and trying to find useful things is like looking for a needle in a haystack, let's come back tomorrow night, and look for a few days to see if we can find useful things."

The leader said: "It's best if you don't find it, if you really find something, then it's troublesome, we can find it, those can also be found, since we can't find it tonight, we don't have to continue to waste time here, just let those people never find it." Then he took out the fire fold, and he and the two of them immediately understood, and quickly found some dead branches and fallen leaves and piled them in the house, and then the leader threw the fire fold into the dead branches and leaves.

At this time, the weather was dry in autumn and winter, and the fire spread all at once. When the three of them saw it, they immediately jumped out of the courtyard wall and disappeared into the night. Lin Mo was sleeping soundly on the bed at this time, and suddenly heard his grandfather's eager voice: "Xiao Mo got up, it's not good, that house is on fire." ”

Lin Mo heard a carp stiffening and got up suddenly, and then reacted that it was on fire. Lin Mo pushed the door and saw that his grandfather was looking at him anxiously and said, "Xiao Mo, come with me to have a look, the house is on fire." Lin Mo didn't hesitate, quickly put on a piece of clothing and walked out with a lantern. The two walked quickly towards the house, and they could see the sky-high fire from a distance, Lin Mo asked, "Grandpa, what the hell is going on?" Why did you find a fire in a good way?

Grandpa sighed and said: "The evening has passed and everyone is resting, the people on the edge of the abandoned house were suddenly awakened by the light, and when they pushed the door, they saw that the abandoned house was on fire, so they quickly notified the people in the town to put out the fire together, and then came to inform me, alas, what do you call this, it is estimated that the weather has been dry recently, so it caught fire." ”

As they spoke, they had come to the burning house, where the burned courtyard wall had almost collapsed, and the houses inside were still burning, and more than a dozen people from the town were busy collecting water from the well to put out the fire.

As soon as the neighbors on the side saw Lin Mo coming, they hurriedly said: "Lin family boy, you are finally here, this house suddenly caught fire, which really scared us, you hurry up and find a way to extinguish this fire, otherwise this house will definitely be burned down." ”

Lin Mo knew about these neighbors who came to help

The main reason is that I am worried that the fire in this house will spread and implicate myself on the side. Looking at the intensifying fire, Lin Mo sighed, it would be nice if there were fire trucks, but unfortunately in this era, we can only rely on manpower to extinguish fires, and the houses at this time are basically wooden structures, which are very flammable, so it is a drop in the bucket to extinguish fires

。 Lin Mo thought for a while and said: "Fourth woman, you let people push all the places close to this house and the neighbors, whether it is the courtyard wall or the house, use people to push, use an axe to chop and use a hammer to smash, any method will do, don't let the fire spread to other people's homes, this house will burn if it burns." The grandfather on the side asked in surprise: "This, this is inevitably a little inappropriate, after all, this house is also a big house, so I gave up." ”

Lin Mo shook his head and said: "This house will be burned down, anyway, it is almost dilapidated and haunted, it is better to burn it clean, burn all the bad luck, and then build a new house in the future." Grandpa finally nodded, and everyone on the side also pushed around the house under the leadership of Lin Mo to prevent the fire from spreading. When everyone was done, and most of the house had burned down, Lin Mo beckoned everyone to go back and rest, and don't pay attention to it.

Everyone looked at Lin Mo and were a little surprised, and finally sighed, feeling that Lin Mo must have been stimulated and had something wrong with his brain. Lin Mo ignored everyone's thoughts, took his grandfather home and went to sleep, the fire in the house was still burning, and Lin Mo slept very sweetly, as if the house was not his.

But there's nothing wrong with saying this, after all, that house is nothing for Lin Mo, and it's the same whether it's the same or not. The next day, Lin Mo got up and saw that his grandfather was in a state of mind, boxing in the courtyard, and asked with zero difference: "Grandpa, you didn't rest at night?" ”

Grandpa glanced at Lin Mo angrily and said, "You slept happily, a good house burned down overnight, and you didn't feel distressed at all." Lin Mo smiled helplessly: "It's too late to extinguish such a big fire, so let's burn it." ”

When the two came to the house that had turned into ruins and looked at the mess, Grandpa couldn't help but sigh a little, Lin Mo hurriedly comforted: "As long as the land is still there, let's build a new house in the future." ”

Grandpa glared angrily and said: "This is light, you can't build a house for a few hundred taels, I knew that it was better to sell it to the three people yesterday." As soon as Grandpa said this, Lin Mo remembered that the three of them came to buy the house during the day and didn't buy it, and the house caught fire at night, which was too much of a coincidence.

Seeing Lin Mo frowning and pondering, Grandpa asked, "Don't you think this fire is a little strange?" Lin Mo was taken aback and said, "Grandpa, what are you talking nonsense again?" It's just a fire, and in this kind of weather, there's no fuss about catching fire. ”

Grandpa said angrily: "Although I am old, I am not confused, this house has been safe and sound for more than ten years, but after the three people came yesterday, there was a fire, this is too a coincidence, this fire must have something to do with those three people." ”

Lin Mo smiled: "Grandpa, don't think about it, how could those three people come back and burn this house after they all left yesterday, the house is an abandoned house, no one has lived in it for more than ten years, what can be worth their trouble." ”
