After Wang Zhan, Wu Ming and others went to see the site, they found that the hotel of the Japanese League had a tendency to rip off customers, so Wang Zhan still wanted to find a family to live in.

"Wu Ming, you go to the neighborhood to see if there are any rooms in the civilian house that are redundant, and we will rent them." Wang Zhan said to Wu Ming.

After receiving the order, Wu Ming ran around to take a look, in fact, many of the houses of the civilians were not big, but the mansion of the young master of Yuan Wei that they had seen was amazingly large. If you make a comparison, the house of Yuanzhi is equivalent to the floor area of a dozen houses.

Wang Zhan suddenly remembered something and said to himself: "I remember that there is another person around here who works in the Huaxia State Intelligence Department like me, it seems that he is called Liuji, and I will look for him when the time comes, and see if there is any gain." ”

After looking for a while, Wu Ming saw a house that didn't seem to have a spare house with a civilian family who didn't rely on the Japanese Alliance, so he asked if he could live in it.

What came out was an old man, estimated to be about sixty or seventy years old, his face was full of wrinkles, he walked tremblingly, as if he was blown down by the wind, but he understood things very well, and in the process of bargaining with Wu Ming, it could be judged that this person's brain was still very useful.

He could see from his eyes that Wu Ming must rent this house, and Wu Ming didn't want to give more money, because the rest had to be used for living expenses. So, the old man asked Wu Ming to help him do some work when he was renting.

"I can only pay these rents that month, and there are some people who also borrow your house to live in. If you're really asking for too much money, I'd better look somewhere else. Wu Ming said helplessly.

The old man said honestly: "I can see that you really want to rent this house, and I usually live in a small room at the back of the main house, but I still can't accept your price." Well, in addition to paying this money, I also want you to help me with some housework. ”

Wu Ming felt that this place needed to be considered, and asked, "What housework do you want us to do?" How much time does it take? ”

Leading Wu Ming into the house to take a look, the old man said as he walked: "This is the house you want to live in, but there are still some places in it that need to be reinforced, I know that there are a few leaky places, you can't see it with the naked eye, but I can usually see it on rainy days." So, you have to mend it. Also, I have to work during the day, and if you don't want to help me go to the mountains to collect firewood, then help me split them, and I'll find the firewood myself. ”

Wu Ming took a look at the interior of the house, although it was very simple, not as magnificent as the mansion of Yuan Rebellion, but the furniture and so on were still readily available, which was much better than what Wu Ming had found. If there really is something to be repaired, then it is still acceptable, after all, the old man did not make any more counteroffers.

"Wait a minute, I'll go out to see if my partner is here, the luggage or something is still on their side, and the idea of wanting to rent is not up to me in the end." Wu Ming told the old man.

"It's okay, I can see that you are not from this area, and if you go to the hotel, you will be drained of money. So I can only find the old house, but unfortunately my house is also in disrepair, although the walls and foundation are very good, but there are still some things to do to make it perfect. If you agree to pay the amount and help me with some housework or something, I can rent it to you. After the old man finished speaking, he entered the house, leaving Wu Ming alone to wait for Wang Zhan outside.

The sun wasn't strong yet, and it was still some time before it got dark, so they were able to arrange things. Before starting the mission, you must first settle down, which is a must.

After a while, Wang Zhan also came, he originally wanted to go to find Lu Ji, but there was no clue, he didn't dare to call back to China for the time being, unless, he looked for Long Rui, who was also doing undercover and assassination work in the Wakou League, his friend. However, Long Rui is still far away from Wang Zhan now, and it is better to find a way to settle down first when considering contact.

"Wu Ming, have you found a place to rent?" Wang Zhan asked.

Hearing this voice, Wu Ming knew that it was Wang Zhan, and when he turned around, he pointed to the old man's house behind him: "Look, this house is okay, at least it can accommodate the people who brought it, otherwise if you find someone else's house, the house may only accommodate half of us." ”

Wang Zhan raised his head and took a closer look at the house, it seemed to be really good, the only thing that could be pointed out was that it could be seen from the walls that it had been built for many years, although the foundation was quite solid, but it could still be said that it was in disrepair.

"How much is the rent? If we pay for it, will we still be able to cover our usual expenses? Wang Zhan thought of the problem of funds and raised it.

Wu Ming replied: "No problem, the rent is in line with the requirements." By the way, the owner of this house is still bargaining with me, and I insist on my price, and he can't take advantage of us further, so he wants us to do something for him. ”

When Wang Zhan heard this, he was a little puzzled: "What do you want us to do?" ”

"Maybe it's just repairing the structure of the house, it shouldn't take a lot of time." Wu Ming thought.

Wang Zhan finally nodded and said, "Okay, I agree, then rent his house." From now on, this is the base of our mission here, and our true whereabouts must not be revealed at any time. ”

Wu Ming walked into the house and told the old man that he had decided to rent it.

"Did you agree? I should have told them what I was asking for, but you still rented it, which shows that my original idea was correct. The old man smiled.

Wang Zhan also walked in, took out the money from the luggage and paid it, first for a month, and then if he still wanted to rent, then he would find a way to pay.

Seeing that the owner of the house turned out to be an old man, Wang Zhan was a little strange, because when he walked over, he saw that it was difficult for ordinary families to afford such a house, and how did this old man get a sum of money to buy this house?

The old man smiled and took the money and left, and before returning to his small house at the back of the house, he also asked Wang Zhan and the others to do some things, such as cleaning all the rooms in the house and repairing the leaks in the roof.

Wang Zhan took people to move in, and after the luggage had been settled, he immediately repaired the leakage of the roof.

"It's fixed, and the next thing is to clean the house. Alas, seeing the dust on the ground, I probably know how long no one has been living here. Wang Zhan came over with a broom and other items to clean, and Wu Ming brought a bucket of water.

Suddenly, Wang Zhan stopped Wu Ming: "Wait, don't go into this room yet." There are places where there is no dust on the floor of this bedroom! ”

Wu Ming was also surprised, he and the old man didn't come to this bedroom just now, and it didn't seem that no one had come in before.
