Chapter 90: Buying a House
"It all started 10 days ago. That night, it rained, not much, but there was thunder, big and small, we saw that the sky was not good, so we all went to bed early, but we didn't expect that around midnight in the evening, there was a scream from the side of the room, and we all got up to see. Ah! It scares us to death! Lian'er bled to death with seven orifices! The red eyes fell out, and I was scared to death at first glance. The old man seemed to have palpitations when he talked about this, and his hands couldn't stop trembling, no wonder anyone who saw a dead body in the middle of the night would be scared half to death, let alone an old man who was too old.
"Scared to death? Are there no other external injuries on the body? What do you say? Luo Mingxuan asked curiously.
"Alas! I was just about to send someone to Yamen to report the case, but the family saw Shui'er near Gongfang's house again, and it was exactly the same as Lian'er's death! I immediately went to report to the official, the body was directly pulled away by the yamen, I was going to go to the yamen the next day to ask about the situation, which into thinking that there was a mother-in-law in the well and found a group of dead cats and rotten dogs, this village is full of people, but no one saw who did it, what do you say is not haunted? The old man took a sip of the teacup and stabilized his mood: "Because of this incident, I didn't go to the Yamen, I thought about cleaning the well and going again, but I didn't expect another accident at night!" ”
"Is there anyone dead again?" Luo Mingxuan answered thoughtfully.
"No! This time, not only did a house slave who kept vigil die, but there was even a river of blood in the next room! Not to mention how scary! After this incident, many people quit, and the people in the vicinity also left, they said that my Zhuangzi was a murderous house, and I reported to the official, but the government only took away the body again, and said that the case would be solved within a time limit, but I have not heard any news until today. We were so scared that I sent a letter to my son, asking him to come and pick us up. Fengming County is three or four days away from here, and I estimate that it may be there in these two days, and we won't be able to leave before he comes! And just last night, Mrs. Zhu also died like Lian'er Shui'er and them, but there were only a few of us elderly people left in the Zhuangzi, and there was no one nearby, so there was no way to go out to report the news, and the corpse had to be parked in the firewood room, alas! The old man sighed again.
"Can you take me to see the body?" Luo Mingxuan thought about it and came up with an idea that made the old man startled.
"What? You're going to see it? You're not afraid! The old man almost jumped up when he heard this: "It's not that the old man didn't remind you, that corpse is terrifying!" You're so brave to see it! ”
Luo Mingxuan was about to say something, when there was a knock on the door outside: "Dad!" Mother! Open the door! Immortal is here to pick you up! ”
The old man was overjoyed when he heard this: "Haha, my son is here!" ”
Luo Mingxuan was worried about how to arrange the people in the village, but she didn't expect the person to come, so she immediately smiled: "Old man, go open the door!" I'll give you the silver ticket in a moment, and your family should leave quickly! ”
"Hey! Great! The old man went out excitedly, and after a while, he led a few people into the house, Luo Mingxuan saw that the front was a person dressed as a scholar, and his face was somewhat similar to the old man, and it was estimated that he was the person who had just called himself "Changsheng". And the scholar also looked at her curiously, and muttered in his heart: This person is really bold, and he may not dare to buy such a house by changing two people. But thanks to him, otherwise this house would have been deserted.
Luo Mingxuan did things like turnips, and he immediately took out 150,000 taels of silver tickets and gave them to the old man, which shocked the old man's jaw: "Young man, it's a lot!" ”
"It's okay, you can take it! I only have so many, if only in normal times, I wouldn't be able to buy even half of the mansion! Luo Mingxuan took out almost all of her net worth, but she was telling the truth, the houses here are as expensive as modern ones.
