Chapter 188: Hot Springs
The prince's new name is unknown to anyone in Chang'an, and it has been explained above that it cannot conflict with the prince's new name.
After learning Wang Xiang's identity and seeing the deed he took out, the fat man's face changed several times, changed his previous arrogance, and explained honestly with a bitter face.
It turned out that Chen Liu had been sent to Xishui Village a few months ago with smallpox, and an old woman who was almost seventy years old had no reason to survive such a terminal illness as smallpox, so the fat man took the opportunity to occupy the house.
"I swear, I really didn't hurt anyone, that old woman was sick with smallpox and the government sent someone to take her away."
Feeling that the fat man didn't look like he was lying this time, and as long as he went to the government to ask about it, he knew whether it was true or not, Wang Xiang asked lightly: "Who are you?" ”
"I ......," said the fat man, after a moment's pause, "I'm in business." ”
With a fat head and big ears, big shoulders and a round waist, he does have the appearance of a profiteer, Wang Xiang does not doubt him, and said lightly: "Get out." ”
The fat man turned around and ran in if he was pardoned.
"I'll tell you to get out."
The fat man's body stiffened when he heard this, and he turned his head and looked at Wang Xiang pitifully: "Can you let me put on my clothes first......"
After the fat man got dressed and ran out in a gray way, Wang Xiang entered the house with iron eggs and big teeth, the inside of the house is bigger than it looks outside, the mountains, rocks and grasses, the layout has a special taste, and there are even a few budding red plums in a corner of the yard, which looks very enchanting in the white snow, and it really doesn't look like an old woman's house.
Who gave me the deed, could it be the Chen Liu family? There are many smallpox patients who have survived in Xishui Village, and perhaps she has survived as well. Seeing that the house was occupied, she wanted me to help her. But why did she give the deed to the guy and leave? And also. How could an illiterate old woman know to go to Dengxian Tower to find me? And I heard Degui say that it was a young woman who sent the deed to the past.
Wang Xiang couldn't figure out what was going on.
However, since someone has given the title deed to themselves, sooner or later they will come into contact with it again. Now...... Of course, take a good look at this house.
Wang Xiang, who didn't spend a penny to get such a satisfied house, was in a good mood, rewarded him with 20 yuan of money and sent him away, and then walked around the house with iron eggs.
The place where they are standing now is just a courtyard in the house, and there is a unique peach-shaped arch on the left and right sides of the courtyard, and when you go through the arch on the left, you can see a small pond, the water in it is not frozen, and you can also see small fish of various colors frolicking and swimming in the pond.
The more Wang Xiang looked, the more satisfied he felt. Turning to a courtyard in the deepest part of the house, Wang Xiang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Hot springs!"
The wide pool, which occupies almost half of the courtyard, is steaming on the surface of the water, and the water vapor fills the air into a thick mist, rendering the whole courtyard like a fairyland.
He finally knew what the dead fat man was doing just now, he wasn't taking a bath at all, he was soaking in the hot springs! There is a natural hot spring in the house! No wonder the small pond in the yard next to it is not frozen, apparently because of the geothermal heat.
What is more pleasant to do in the cold winter than to read a novel under the covers?
It's just a hot spring!
"Young master, why is the water in this pool steaming?"
Hearing Tie Dan's humble voice, Wang Xiang felt even more proud, and laughed: "Haha, an unexpected joy." What a surprise! ”
Because he had soaked in hot springs when he went to Chang'an on a business trip in later generations, he knew that Chang'an had hot springs, but he didn't expect that he would get a house with natural hot springs. Just such a hot spring is worth more than the whole house, natural hot springs are something that can not be found, and many hot spring inns in later generations are man-made hot springs, of course, they cannot be compared with natural hot springs.
……
Half a quarter of an hour later, Wang Xiang and Tie Dan were both soaking in the hot spring wearing only a pair of shorts, leaning against the edge of the pool with a comfortable face, while Tie Dan's giant axe was thrown on the edge of the pool.
"Young master, this water is so comfortable."
"Of course it's comfortable, and soaking in the hot springs in winter is the most comfortable thing."
"How much firewood do you need to boil so much hot water?"
"It's a natural hot spring, so you don't need to burn firewood."
"Oh...... How many coal mines will be burned? ”
"I don't burn coal either."
"Oh......" Tie Dan tilted his head and couldn't figure out what was burning, but he wasn't a person who liked to think, so if he didn't understand, he wouldn't want to, so he soaked in the hot spring comfortably.
Wang Xiang was a little hesitant in his heart, originally he planned to take Kawamura Maya to live in this house, but he wanted Wushun and Ju Yiya to also soak in the hot springs, but in this way, Jinwu Zangjiao's plan fell through, and it was really tangled, unless he could find a hot spring.
Wait a minute...... Wang Xiang's heart moved, he remembered that the largest and most famous hot spring in Chang'an in later generations was Lishan Hot Spring.
"Tiedan, do you know where Lishan is?"
Tie Dan thought for a moment and said, "Outside the city." ”
Wang Xiang looked depressed: "Of course I know that it is outside the city, I mean where it is." ”
"Oh." Tie Dan scratched his head and said, "You can go west from Qianniu Mountain to Lishan Mountain." ”
"Far away? Forehead...... How long does it take to drive from Qianniu Mountain? It's better to ask specifically, otherwise Tie Dan will say "far" or "not far", who knows if it is far away......
Tie Dan shook his head and said, "It's not far, you don't need to drive, it's Lishan Mountain from the west of Qianniu Mountain......"
Listening to Tiedan's explanation, Wang Xiang understood, in fact, Qianniu Mountain is a part of Lishan, but it is not the main body, the last time I went to Qianniu Mountain with Li Zhi, it was not far, and it was only about two hours to drive from Chang'an. In this way, it is completely possible to build a hot spring house in Lishan, and Wushun can take them there when they want to soak in the hot springs, or they can live there in winter.
This option works.
Wang Xiang squinted his eyes and thought that if it was not Tie Dan who was soaking in the hot spring with him, but Kawamura Maya, Wu Shun and Ju Yiya, hehehe......
It's decided, I'll take Kawamura Maya over tomorrow, and then go to Lishan to build a hot spring house!
Wang Xiang and Tie Dan were soaking in the hot springs comfortably, and in an ordinary room in the southwest of Chang'an City, the fat man who was driven out by Wang Xiang was trembling and reporting what had just happened.
"You mean that the prince took the deed and occupied the house?" It was the woman with the hat who had instructed the Assassins last time.
"Yes...... Yes. ”
"Didn't you say that the old woman had smallpox and died?"
The fat man wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and explained, "That old woman is almost seventy years old, and she has smallpox again, and I ...... I...... By the way, it must be the deed that Wang Zixin found from the old woman's body when he was in Xishui Village, it must be like this! ”
The woman smiled noncommittally: "Since the prince knows about you......"
The fat man suddenly fell to his knees in fright, and said tremblingly: "I told him that I was in business, and he believed it." ”
The woman smiled: "You are originally doing business, what are you afraid of, go to Yangzhou for a while first." ”
Listening to the woman's words, the fat man let out a long breath, and his entire back was soaked.
"I'll leave right away."
"When I get to Yangzhou, give me a little restraint."
"Yes, yes."
After the fat man left, the woman's eyes under the hat flashed with a strange light, and she whispered to herself: "Isn't she dead, but also returned to Chang'an......" (To be continued. )
