322 Preparation for the establishment of nursing homes

"I'll take back what I said last time!" Liu Han said to me solemnly.

At this time, we have safely walked out of the hungry ghost pit, and dragged the bear boss all the way up to the city. She's going back to the city guards, and I'm exhausted and need to go back to the caravan quarters to get some rest. Along the way, the combination of two people, one ghost and one spider like us is also quite eye-catching.

However, what surprised me the most was that Liu Han's attitude towards me had obviously changed.

"Although you are a little, you are still a man!" She nodded approvingly, "You can keep your eggs and be a man with eggs!" ”

I could only smile wryly and protest: "I'm in charge of my eggs, you don't have to worry about it!" ”

"Huh!" Liu Han smiled narrowly.

"Hey!" I asked her dissatisfied, "You are also a woman, and you are okay with your appearance, why are you so rude?" ”

"Dang!"

"Ouch!" I hurriedly shrank my head and dodged the crescent halberd that Liu Han suddenly slapped over, but the helmet was knocked off by her.

I really couldn't do anything about this moody woman, so I ran over and picked it up in embarrassment.

Liu Han didn't look at me, but said coldly: "Praise you twice, who do you think you are?" If you me off, I can still beat you up in front of so many people like I did last time! ”

"Alas!"

I couldn't help but sigh and said in my heart: "What a fierce woman who doesn't eat soft and hard!" ”

Solving the matter of Boss Xiong, I can be regarded as avenging Tian Laolu. But my old roommate also entrusted me with another more challenging task, which was to build a nursing home in Zuoqiu City!

I don't know anything about building a house or supporting the elderly. My family has always rented a shop in the Nanting vegetable market, where people live on the top and shops open below. And although I called my parents "Mom and Dad" since I was in junior high school, they are actually not old at all, they are only in their forties, and they are not even elderly. This is also the only reason why I, an "unfilial son", dare to wander around and feel a little "at ease" without being at home.

I don't understand anything in the yang world, and I can't figure it out when I go down to the underworld. Fortunately, I tried my best to help Liu Han catch Boss Xiong, not only to avenge Tian Laolu, but also to earn a breath for the Teng family in a sense. So Teng Boli was very happy and immediately agreed to help me operate this matter.

So, while I was about to leave Zuoqiu City in two or three days to go darts, Teng Boli called an "underground contractor" who specialized in building houses for people in Yin City, and the three of them went to see the land bought by Tian Laolu, and then planned to discuss how to build this nursing home on the spot.

The cave where Shangcheng is located is relatively small, the place is limited, and the land price is very expensive, so even if Tian Laolu has saved his salary for decades, he can only go to Xiacheng to buy land. The land is located in the upper left corner of the lower city, close to the first street of the left city and Zemen, but the terrain is low-lying and narrow, and it is very inconvenient to pass.

It turned out that the land was not exactly a wasteland, but a rocky beach, with small and small stones everywhere, and an underground river running through the stones. It used to be used to breed some snails that grew between the crevices of the stones. However, the place was too small to be formed, so it was quickly abandoned by the previous owners, and now only a dilapidated small stone house is left uninhabited.

Because of the remote location here, it is inconvenient to travel, and it can neither open a store nor do other uses, so it was bought at a low price by Tian Laolu. However, it is quite appropriate to build a nursing home here, at least far from the downtown area, quiet enough.

Teng Boli and the contractor stood on a large rock to check the terrain, pointing around, presumably discussing where the pillars could be buried, and where the foundations needed to be filled in and dug up. I didn't understand any of this, so I went down to the stream and went to play in the water. The water of the underground river is clear and cold, and it is excellent for both drinking and use.

Since the underground river that flows through Zuoqiu City is just a small stream, there are no big fish in it, only some small fish and shrimp with big fingers, and no one catches them. They swam around in the river carefree, and they were not afraid of my hand at all, but they thought it was very strange, and they all gathered around to bite and bite, and it was very funny.

Teng Boli directly helped me negotiate the price with the contractor before calling me over to make a decision. They planned to fill in the entire shoal and build three stone houses, which would be easy and cheap. But I disagreed, and wanted to keep the shallows and build a hanging structure similar to the Hanging Tower.

"It's too far from the top of the cave, and there is no stone wall next to it, so you can't build a hanging tower." The foreman pointed me out and tried to persuade me not to be so "idealistic".

He also described the difficulty of the renovation: "If you have to build an elevated house, you have to drive solid stone piles into the rocky beach and lay another stone platform. The house was on a stone platform, and the stream flowed from below. But then the cost will be high, and you can't build three houses, at most one! ”

As soon as I heard this, I was really interested: "This is what I want to build!" ”

Teng Boli was stunned and asked me, "Do you have enough money?" ”

"It should be enough, if it's not enough, I'll make it up myself!" I replied firmly.

"Is only one room enough?"

"If I'm alone for the time being, I'll be fine. Later, I can raise more money, so I can add it up! ”

"What about nursing homes? When will it open? ”

I smiled: "Now I don't have any elderly people to take care of, who is it open to?" ”

Teng Boli couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "That's what I said!" Although there are also 180-year-old old men in Zuoqiu City now, they all have jobs, and no one has come here for a while! ”

This is indeed the truth. Most of the Yin cultivators who came to Zuoqiu City were passers-by. They signed contracts with major families for ten or twenty years, and most of them wanted to return to the yang world after the expiration of the period. After all, people who fall in love with the underworld like Tian Laolu are a minority. In that case, let's build a room first, and then wait for someone who is destined to do so!

As a result, the construction plan had to be changed. The contractor gave me a rough range, saying that the overhead stone platform is so big and where the area of the house is. Connecting to the exterior is a small stone bridge with balconies in front of and behind the house.

In this way, the old people who live here can enjoy the shade, chat, play chess on the balcony, and maybe catch a few small fish and shrimp. It's sure to be a pleasant day!

Of course, I've been a little careful about it. This place is quiet and remote, but it is very suitable for me to fry yin food anytime and anywhere, so I am not afraid of the bird meat guy coming to eat.

After the renovation plan was finalized, I also negotiated the price with the contractor, and the contractor and materials would cost a total of 8,000 Yin Yuan. The money left by Tian Laolu to me is still more than 4,000 yin yuan after deducting these infrastructure expenses, even if there are really old people to move in after the construction is completed, it is enough for the time being.

After arranging the construction of the nursing home, I also received the task of going to the dart again, this time to go to Shilinzhai.

Shilinzhai is a small yin city with a relatively awkward location. To get to it from Zuoqiu City, you have to go out from Zemen, and then turn around halfway to Death Ze, and walk for a few more days. Because it is also relatively close to Death Ze, Shilinzhai will also be attacked by Ze Chao from time to time, especially the security on this road is not very good, and there will be occasional ghost bandits.

The Teng family still attaches great importance to this trip, not only choosing Buye, a "living map", to lead the team, but also sending three dart masters into the sixth team to enrich the staff. You must know that the camels on the back of the big snail are all valuable top-grade medicinal herbs!

It's not an easy deal. Some time ago, Shilinzhai had just been attacked by a small group of Zechao!

Although they relied on the advantages of the terrain and city defense, they finally barely repelled the attacks of those monsters, but they also suffered heavy losses. It is said that one-third of the Yin cultivators in the village were injured and urgently needed various healing medicines, so they hurriedly sent people to Zuoqiu City to purchase.

Because this place has only experienced the tide not long ago, I don't know if there are any monsters left behind, so we tremble and be cautious along the way. The march is accelerated during the day, and the camp is arranged to be double-guarded at night, so it is important to ensure safety.

Fortunately, everyone worked together, and Bu Ye also led the team well, although he encountered two monster attacks on the way, but they finally killed the monster without injury. Ten days later, the caravan successfully arrived at Shilinzhai and delivered the goods.

Stone Forest Village, as its name suggests, is built in a stone forest. The underground caves in this area are geologically calcium carbonate limestone caves, and there are many underground rivers, stalactites and stalagmites can be found everywhere.

Stone stalactites and stalagmites are stone wonders formed by the accumulation of water filled with calcium carbonate dripping down from the roof of the cave. The stalactites that grow from the top to the bottom are called stalactites, and those that grow from the bottom to the top after dripping to the ground are called stalagmites. Once the two go up, they will finally merge and join together after millions of years, and they will become thick stone pillars.

The stone forest village is built on a towering stone platform, relying on the surrounding stone forests to build a tall city wall, enough to resist the tide monsters that rush all the way along the underground river. But even so, there were still quite a few Yin cultivators and ghost soldiers who died in this defensive battle, leaving hundreds of wounded behind.

The successful arrival of the medicinal materials carried by the caravan made the owner of Shilin Village greatly relieved, and he was very happy to entertain us. Although this trip is just business, we are still flattered to be so warmly welcomed.

However, after a short period of shyness, everyone also let go of themselves, eating what they should eat, drinking what they should drink, and they were very happy. Only the bird meat did not forget to sigh while eating and drinking: "If a few more chicks accompany the wine, it will be more perfect!" ”
