All the belongings of their Dou family are pressed in this house, and if they don't come out, their family will not even have a place to live.

Xu Jiaojiao felt that this house was good from the moment she entered the house.

Spacious and bright, the materials are sturdy, the shop in front is connected to three rooms, and there is a large courtyard door next to the shop, which can be used by the eyes for the carriage to enter and exit.

The courtyard is large and can hold a lot of things.

The back into the house is also spacious and upright, the yard is smaller, but planted with flowers and plants, more elegant, there is a small side door, the small side door is also facing the street.

There is also a small cellar under the front yard, there is a well in the front yard, and there is also a well in the back yard, which is convenient for water or something, and it can be two independent yards when separated.

Today is a cloudy day, but in the house, there is no yin at all, and the general haunted people have a deep and cold feeling, but this house, righteous and bright, does not look like a haunted house.

Xu Jiaojiao is satisfied with the layout and geographical location of this house.

Xu Zhang's house is also better, to be honest, it wasn't that the previous owner said it was haunted, she didn't believe it.

She quietly grabbed Xu Jiaojiao, "Old girl, you, you really want it!" ”

"Do you think it's okay? I think it's okay. ”

Xu Zhang said regretfully, "But what about haunting?" No matter how cheap it is, you can't joke with people's lives! Old girl, let's go and see it elsewhere...... It's all to blame for that Gu Xiu'er's sin. ”

Xu Jiaojiao didn't panic at all, "Mother, it's okay, I don't believe in ghosts and gods, besides, anyway, the silver in the gambling house was obtained for free, and it was used to buy this haunted house, rescued the last family, and let the family get rid of it. ”

As soon as he said this, Xu Zhang's thought about it.

"Middle, old girl, you just have an idea. Mother listens to you. ”

That's right, so I went to ask the price with the tooth shop.

Xu Laosi is the male of the old Xu family, he has always disliked it and said that it is not good to be haunted here, the owner of the family is really anxious to get rid of it, and Yaxing also wants to settle this matter quickly.

In the end, two hundred taels transferred the house.

The cost of the transfer of the government was given away in vain.

Because the house is haunted, the things in the Dou family's house should have been moved out long ago, so there is no follow-up, and you can move in directly on the same day.

Exceptional speed.

In this way, two hundred taels bought the house of the old blacksmith.

Changed his surname to Xu.

In the future, it will be Xu Jiaojiao's industry.

This is Xu Jiaojiao's first property in the county, and it should have been celebrated, but in such a situation in this house, I don't know if it can live in it, so for the time being, the family dragged the ox cart back to Xujia Village.

On the way, everyone's mood was simply mixed.

I don't know whether to be happy or worried.

Xu Laosi originally thought about it, even if it was the old sister's house, he would go to the county town in the future and live for a while, it would be no problem, and the old sister was not as stingy as the boss's family, so she was a brother and sister with the same father and mother.

Now a haunted house, whether he will go or not, he is so timid that he is most afraid of ghosts, he dare not go!

This house can't be counted on.

***

When I got home in the evening, it was already dark.

Liao Qing hasn't returned home yet, he has been busy in the wine shop, waiting for Xu Jiaojiao to come back.

Xu Jiaojiao didn't come back, he didn't worry.

When they returned, they learned that Xu Jiaojiao had bought the haunted house of the ancient blacksmith's family.

Liao Qing was silent for a moment.

After a while, he said, "It's okay, I'll accompany you tomorrow to have a look." Haunted or not, what kind of haunting, you will know if you go and stay for one night. ”

Xu Jiaojiao snorted, "I think so too." ”

Liao Qing lowered his voice and asked, "You went to see it in person, did you find anything abnormal?" ”

"I looked at the cellar and it seemed that there were footprints, very small, indeed similar to the footprints of a baby, but if I looked closely, it didn't seem to be, if nothing else, it should be the footprints of some kind of animal......"

Liao Qing nodded, "Well, then it's okay, I'll bring some things to get a few traps." ”

It's not really a ghost, it's easy to say.

……

On the second day, Xu Jiaojiao arranged everything in the wine shop, packed a few clothes, and went to the county town to live in a new house for a few days.

Xu Zhang's wanted to follow, but Xu Jiaojiao didn't let him.

It's tiring all the way, coming and going, taking an ox cart all day, yesterday Xu Zhang's just went, and went again, I'm afraid that my body can't stand it.

Xu Zhang asked the fourth child to accompany Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing.

The fourth said that he was suffering from the wind and cold, and he couldn't go or go.

Then, Xu Zhangshi asked Erlang to follow, Erlang, the kid is easy to call, let him do whatever he wants, and never shirk the stealing and trickery.

It's not okay not to go with someone, after all, Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing have not yet married, and lonely men and widows live in a house for one night, afraid of gossip.

The three of them set off after lunch, and rented a carriage in the town.

I went to the county seat, and it was not dark yet.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Erlang silently put out all the black dog blood, black donkey hooves, glutinous rice and so on that Xu Zhang asked him to bring.

Xu Jiaojiao looked at him, but she didn't stop him.

The corridors in the front yard and backyard of the house were sprinkled with glutinous rice, the black dog blood was placed in the middle of the yard, there were three black donkey hooves, Erlang carried one with him, and the other two were given to Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing......

Before leaving, Xu Zhang's thousands of instructions were given, and she finally asked someone to get the black donkey hooves.

For the hooves of these black donkeys, I set off after lunch.

If you were prepared, you brought it.

Liao Qing according to Xu Jiaojiao's description, if it is really an animal, then the animal footprints should not be big, Erlang sprinkled glutinous rice, and he arranged a few small traps.

Xu Jiaojiao brought some clothes and daily necessities at home, which was not enough, so she went to the street to buy some simply.

Not to mention anything else, such a big house, to catch ghosts, lighting equipment must be in place.

In the evening.

Three people sleep in one room.

Xu Jiaojiao slept on the bed, and Liao Qing and Erlang lay on the floor in Xu Jiaojiao's room.

In fact, none of the three of them slept very deeply, they were just dazed.

The first half of the night was uneventful, but in the second half of the night, Xu Jiaojiao's ears pricked up, and she heard the slight footsteps on the roof tiles.

The oil lamp in the room was lit and not extinguished, and the room was very bright, and Xu Jiaojiao could see Liao Qing and Erlang sleeping on the floor.

Liao Qing can also see Xu Jiaojiao.

Seeing Xu Jiaojiao's surprised look, he suddenly sensed it.

There was no fuss, just a brisk get-up.

Immediately afterwards, a cry of a crying baby sounded, and in the quiet second half of the night, it was really permeating.
