'What a fish today!' ’

'Wow! Money is here, how? Xiao Langjun, the number is not wrong, right? ’

"Hmmm! That's right! ”

'That's fine, there will be so much tomorrow, you just have to send it then, and the money will naturally not be less for you.' ’

"Well, the kid still has something to do, so I'm leaving!"

'Walk slowly! ’

Li Bai didn't stay in the morning market much today, he sold the fish he brought today to the old customer at a fixed price and got enough money, he turned around and left, not wanting to shout and waste his precious time in this noisy and bustling morning market with other old farmers, fishermen or peddlers.

'Yo! ’

'Li Xiaolang Junyu was sold out so quickly, how much money did he make today? ’

"Not much ......"

"How much?"

"It's just a dozen yuan, and it's cheap!"

'It's a pity, so many big fat fish, just a dozen yuan? ’

"It's said that it's cheap, it's not worth it!"

"Huh?"

"There's nothing strange about it, that's it, Uncle Zhou, then I'll go back first, and I'll talk to you another day when I'm free......"

'Good! Go back! ’

“……”

Similarly, Li Bai didn't talk to the one who had seen him a few times just now, and he always liked to talk to him every day, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he was barely half a familiar old farmer to tell the truth, because the money he made from selling fish today was not just a dozen wen he said, but a hundred or dozens of wen!

At present, those copper coins are being carried in his arms, and he can feel their heavy weight when he walks, very unaspect, but very fulfilling.

But no matter what, that's his own business, whether he has money or not has nothing to do with others, and he is not an outsider.

Up to today, for more than ten days, he fished every day, and he didn't listen to the advice of the female goblin, and he was not frightened by the other party's inexplicable words.

And with his efforts, he has already scraped together several coins back and forth, barely enough of the copper coins he used for a year?

So he planned to stop doing that kind of laborious and dirty drudgery for the time being, starting tomorrow.

He was going to buy the dilapidated house by the lake he was renting, and then find someone to help him fix it. After all, the female goblin next door lives so well, no matter how good he is, he Li Bai can't be too bad, so he doesn't have to be looked down on by the female goblin, right?

Moreover, if conditions permit, he also plans to enclose a small piece of land outside his dilapidated house, and then build a bamboo building, and then get a study and tea room or something, so that the small life will be comfortable and moisturized in the future.

But it's a pity that he doesn't seem to have so much money to enclose land and build buildings for the time being, even if the land outside the city in this world is not expensive and it doesn't cost much to build a house, and there is no deceptive concept of a lake-view house, but some things are still unlikely to be achieved overnight for him, and he just thinks about it for the time being.

Therefore, he could only regret thinking about his thoughts and plans while moving forward, preparing to leave some unimportant things for later planning.

“……”

"The tea shop near the city gate that the guy said ......"

"It must be in this area, right?"

After leaving the morning market, Li Bai walked directly towards the city gate of Hangzhou City with the crowd of people, and soon arrived at a relatively lively street outside the city gate.

The city of Hangzhou is so prosperous that some businesses have gone outside the city, and it doesn't look any worse than the one depicted in the picture above the Qingming River.

"It's been a month."

"It's time to talk to the landlord, it's a nice place anyway, and no one bothers on weekdays, it's just ......."

"I hope that guy doesn't open his mouth?"

After saying something to himself, Li Bai continued to look for it.

That's right, now Li Bai is planning to go to a certain tea shop to find that guy named Wang Ren, and then try to turn the broken house and yard he is renting from the other party into his own house and yard.

Although for now, he doesn't have the money to enclose land and build a new building, but the money to buy the dilapidated house should be more than enough.

There is no such evil real estate in this world, and there is no middleman or that kind of crazy real estate speculation group to make the difference, so he feels that the money he has earned in the past ten days should not have much problem buying the house outside the city, and there may even be a lot left, enough for him to do something else.

Of course, the premise is that the guy who is full of meat and is said to eat black and white here in Hangzhou, the guy who dares to rent to himself will not directly open his mouth to him, a foreign 'blind stream'?

Presumably, the other party will not be, and will not dare, right?

Moreover, if he didn't guess wrong, Li Bai felt that that guy must have already known about his house and the surrounding environment, so it was abandoned for so long and the rent was so cheap, if he went to buy it now, the other party should not be too difficult.

But he didn't dare to guarantee the specific situation now, he could only follow the crowd entering the city towards the direction of the towering gate of Hangzhou City in the distance, and at the same time kept searching around, wanting to see which tea shop that guy was in.

"Strange ......"

"Forget it! Let's find someone to ask! ”

After looking for a while, Li Bai suddenly planned to give up, because he found that this method of finding people was too stupid, and if the other party was not here today, he would come in vain.

So, after thinking about it, he strode towards what seemed to be the largest tea shop, intending to ask if anyone really knew the so-called 'Zhenhudong'?

‘？！ ’

'The man in front of him stops! ’

At this time, a babbling voice suddenly sounded, and Li Bai, who was searching in the tea shops with his eyes, and was secretly annoyed that it was not easy to find someone in this world without mobile phones and no positioning, hurriedly turned around, and saw at a glance the guy who rented a house to him, who was five big and three thick and full of meat.

‘！！ ’

'You—Aren't you that Li Xiaolang-kun? Why, after all these days, you're not dead?! ’

After the two sides saw each other clearly, the person on the other side suddenly exclaimed, so that Li Bai almost didn't break his mouth and scolded back.

"Ahh

"It turned out to be Brother Wang......"

After discovering that the guy who shouted to him was indeed the landlord he was looking for, Li Bai, who was relieved, hurriedly stretched out his hand and arched at the other party, which was regarded as a salute.

"Don't, don't!"

"Don't get close to me, a certain is the second eldest in the family, not your eldest brother, you just need to call me the second king!"

Obviously, the kind of modern society that calls others 'big brother', 'eldest sister', 'uncle', 'aunt' or something when you casually meet a stranger, the phenomenon of externalization of kinship predicates was not common here in the Tang Dynasty, so this Wang Ren was naturally taken aback by Li Bai's title, and thought that Li Bai was nothing to be courteous, so what other plans did he have for him.

"But Li Xiaolangjun, why did you suddenly come here?"

"I see that you look pretty good, how are you living there lately?"

After correcting the other party's wrong title, that Wang Ren just stepped forward, and then first turned around and looked Li Bai up and down, and found that Li Bai was not missing a leg or breaking his leg, and he looked quite good, he couldn't help but ask a little surprised.

"Huh!"

"Strange ......"

"I live well, I don't know why Second Brother Wang asked this just now?"

opened his mouth, remembering that the other party had just met and asked why he hadn't died yet, and Li Bai, who was more and more sure that this guy must know something else, asked with a smile indifferently.

"Ahh

"It's nothing ...... either"

"But Li Xiaolangjun, what are you doing here? Are you going into town? Then you have to be careful, those guards won't let outsiders like you in easily, and if they catch them, it will be a big trouble! ”

Wang Ren didn't answer Li Bai's question, but just smiled happily and asked about other things, and suddenly teased with some schadenfreude.

"No ......"

"Li Bai didn't come here today to enter the city, but specifically to find the second brother of the king!"

You must know that Li Bai is now a high-ranking 'hero', although he does not have a legal 'pass' or 'public inspection', but if he really wants to enter the city, he can directly climb the city wall, and he doesn't need to go through the city gate and pass the gate at all, and that kind of small problem is obviously not difficult for him.

But he didn't want to do that, in this ancient life, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other materials can be bought in the markets outside the city, and he only needs to meet his daily needs on weekdays, for him who knows how to practice swords and calligraphy all day long, entering the city is a completely unnecessary option to waste time, and he doesn't have so much curiosity for the time being.

"Looking for me?"

"Hmm!"

"And why?!"

"Of course there is something."

"What?"

"The ...... of the house"

"The house thing? Is the house collapsing or leaking? If you deal with that kind of thing yourself, I can't help you, and I won't refund your money! ”

As soon as he heard Li Bai say that it was because of the matter of the house, Wang Ren, the landlord who had received the money but did not plan to do a good job, hurriedly waved his hand and prepared to shirk his responsibility.

"The house is fine!"

"Nothing? What are you going to do with me if it's okay? ”

“……”

"Okay, Li Xiaolangjun, you just have to say, I just listen, but I don't promise to help you!"

"That's right, Second Brother Wang, if I want to buy your house, how much money will it cost you to sell it?"

It was not early, and Li Bai didn't want to be verbose with the other party, so he asked directly in front of this person's busy tea shop.

“！！”

"You're going to buy that shabby house from a certain family?"

"Yes......"

"Are you sure?"

"Naturally, it's certain, otherwise I wouldn't have come back here to look for you!"

“……”

After listening to Li Bai's words, Wang Ren didn't speak, but suddenly frowned, looking very embarrassed.

“？？”

"Why, Second Brother Wang, I haven't made a bid yet, so you don't want to sell it?"

"I didn't say I wouldn't sell it!"

"Then you bid, if the price is right, I will buy it directly, and it will save Second Brother Wang from running to collect rent and check the house for three days and two ends."

“……”

"How?"

"Hey! Don't rush that first! ”

"Come on, Li Xiaolangjun, let me ask you...... In the month you've been renting, have you seen anything unclean there?! ”

Unexpectedly, Li Bai found that the landlord Wang Ren was not in a hurry to negotiate the price with him, but after looking left and right, he reached out and grabbed his wrist, and directly dragged him to an empty table in the tea shop to sit down, and then cautiously leaned over and asked cautiously in a low voice.

“？？”

"What do you mean ......?"

"Is it the leprechaun who lives in the willow forest next door?"

Frowning, looking at the other party's apprehension and breath-holding appearance, Li Bai thought about it, and pretended to hesitate for a while, before learning from the other party's appearance, and replied cautiously.

“！！”

"She—She's really a monster?"

Wang Ren's eyes widened in fright, and then his mouth opened wide, revealing his big yellow teeth.

"Hmm!"

"Indeed it is!"

Li Bai didn't deny it, after all, he knew that there were immortals, demons and monsters in this world, and some other strange people, this kind of thing was very common, and people in this world should have been accustomed to it a long time ago.

“！！”

"I know that there must be something strange in that vicious forest, and that beautiful little lady can still live there well, it must not be a good family!"

"I knew it! I'll just say it! ”

"Wait! Then you ......"

"Li Langjun, how do you know that she is indeed a monster?"

Obviously, this Wang Ren seems to have had some intersection with that female goblin, or has he suffered a loss at the hands of that female goblin? Therefore, after muttering a few words to himself and gritting his teeth, he hurriedly looked at Li Bai again and asked in disbelief.

"It's nothing!"

"I ran into Second Brother Wang shortly after you left that day, and then I fought with her!"

"Shhhhh

"Fighting? And then what? ”

"And then?"

"And then I lost ......"

Li Bai was very calm, although that goblin saw that he couldn't compare to himself with swordsmanship, and then directly used spells to win his own, but if he lost, he lost, that was indeed a fact! Anyway, for now, he really has no way to counter the other party's spell called 'Samadhi True Fire', and he is convinced, and there is nothing bad to admit.

“！！”

"Lost? She didn't eat you? ”

"Then how dare you live there, and dare to buy that shabby house of a certain family? Aren't you afraid? Also, do you know how many people have died in that place before?! ”

In a hurry, Wang Ren, who was asking questions like a cannon, accidentally said something that should not be said, and when he wanted to change his words, it was already too late.

"Haha! That ......"

"Let's talk casually, Li Xiaolangjun, don't take it seriously, in fact, the house is still very good, the dead are outside, not in the house......"

Therefore, he could only touch his own head a little sneeringly, and defended himself with a smirk at the expressionless Li Bai.

"Actually......"

"I don't really want to buy your broken houses, they will cost a lot of money to repair, but do you have any cheaper places?"

"If there were, I could consider ......"

Li Bai pretended to say that he didn't want the other party to know that he liked the secluded house very much, because that would probably make the other party open his mouth on the house price and slaughter him.

"Anything else cheaper?"

"Nope! No! It's the lowliest, but the best and biggest house! There is still one in the city, but it has been rented out by a certain family a long time ago, and that house is not for sale! ”

As soon as Wang Ren heard that Li Bai was looking for another house, he hurriedly waved his hand.

"So, look, do you think I have any other choice?"

“……”

"Are you really going to buy that house?"

"Or else?"

"You won't suddenly regret it one day?"

"Why do you want to go back?"

"Do you really want to buy it?"

"A gentleman's word!"

"Good! It's a man! Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, do you still prefer to go to the tiger mountains? Anyway, Wang admires you as a hero! ”

"Then let's do it, I don't want much, you give 1,500 yuan, and the house and the deed will be yours!"

Anyway, it was just a dilapidated house that no one dared to live in, and maybe it would collapse by itself in a few years, so after thinking about it for a while, Wang Ren slammed the table and gave a price that was only a 'little' premium to the market price.

"Fifteen hundred?"

Li Bai began to frown and ponder.

He remembered that the Xuanzong period was the strongest period of the Tang Dynasty, and a large mansion in Chang'an City with 39 houses covering an area of about three acres was only 138 yuan, that is, less than 140,000 yuan, and now the farmhouse he rented covers an area of less than one acre, and the broken houses outside the city with less than five houses dare to sell a lot, which is indeed a little expensive.

In his mind, it is estimated that no one would dare to ask for that broken place to give away, otherwise the other party would not have rented it to him for half a year for dozens of dollars.

"Hmm......"

"Fifteen hundred dollars is indeed a little expensive, so how about the consistent money?"

After hesitating for a moment, Li Bai began to bargain and gave a price that seemed to him to be relatively reasonable.

“！！”

"Deal! It's all the same!! ”

However, to Li Bai's surprise, the other party stopped bargaining, and directly slapped the table excitedly?

“……”

"Okay!"

"Then it's decided, and I will invite Second Brother Wang to come to my house to withdraw money another day?"

After all, it was the price he repaid, and Li Bai, who was not good at repenting, could only grit his teeth and give up, not planning to continue to toss for such an inconsequential little thing.

"To your house?"

“！！”

Hearing Li Bai shouting that he would come to the door to get it in person, that Wang Ren was so frightened that his face turned a little pale.

"No, no, no!"

"I don't dare to go, or Xiaolangjun, you will send it another day when you are free?"

Wang Ren, who seemed to remember something not very good, hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, saying that he would not go to the broken place that was determined to indeed have a monster.

"That's fine!"

"Then if you are free another day, Li Bai will visit again?"

"Good!"

"Refreshing, let's just say it!"

"That being the case, Li Bai has taken his leave!"

"Wait!"

“？？”

"Come on, come on, Li Xiaolangjun, today Wang is the east, treat you well!"

"This ...... Or don't use it, right? ”

"How can you not use it?!"

"This ......"

"Don't do this, you wait, I'll call someone to serve us drinks and food!"

"Okay......"

There was no way, seeing that it was difficult to resist some hospitality, and felt that it would not cost a few dollars to eat for nothing, Li Bai, who was not a big deal, nodded.

However......

What Li Bai didn't know was that when he was discussing with the landlord about buying a house and preparing to eat a free lunch, on the edge of the West Lake, a certain white-clothed goblin didn't know what she had done, and was looking at the sparkling lake and complaining:

'Really! ’

'It failed again, that guy wasn't fooled......

'Hey! ’

'It's been a delay here for half a year, hasn't it?' At the moment, there is still no progress at all, how can it be good to continue like this? ’

The goblin began to complain to herself, and kept kicking the pebbles by the lake, watching them be kicked to the surface of the lake piece by piece and float one by one, until they sank into the lake in the distance.

‘……’

'There you go! ’

'Maybe ......'

Suddenly!

As if she had thought of something, after first exclaiming, she looked in the direction of the house where Li Bai lived.

Because she remembered that the guy named Li Bai seemed to have gone out early in the morning and hadn't come back until now?

'Hey! ’

'You're out of luck!!' ’

As he spoke, he didn't know what he had decided, and the white-clothed goblin no longer continued to patrol the lake, but flew directly towards Li Bai's house at high speed, and disappeared in the dense forest on the shore of the lake after a while.
