Chapter XXXIII
I laid him on the ground and took him by the hand so that he would not be unsteady on his feet. I looked around for a while, and then walked leisurely and leisurely into the street.
This is a relatively remote ancient street, and the prosperity is naturally not as good as those city centers!
However, the flow of people here is not less than in other places, and there are even many tourists who come here to play, go shopping, and buy antiques!
There are a lot of vendors here, and most of the shops are here, and the streets are full of street stalls that encourage each other. We squirmed through the crowd, admiring the stalls, and slowly walked through the street to the end.
There is a closed storefront at the end of the street, with a piece of paper pasted on it, and when you walk in, you can see that it is actually a storefront for rent, and a row of numbers are written below. I looked at my surroundings and was very satisfied!
It has deviated from the center of the city, and the street is backed by the mountains, especially at the end, and the forest is over the wall.
Although it is a little remote, it is precisely because this is an ancient street that the flow of people will still come to the end of the street a little bit. And like me, of course, the more remote the better, and the more people there are, it will be too disturbing and too ostentatious.
Thinking of this, I took out my beloved knockoff little iPhone, dialed the number written on it, and after a long period of haggling, it was finally settled. Okay, he'll come over and take me in right away!
Although it is the end of the street, the terrain is not bad, there is a lot of traffic, and the store is very expensive for rent!
Wuyun and I stood in front of the storefront, waiting left and right, and waited for about ten minutes before finally seeing a fat man staggering towards us.
I looked at him with a big belly, looking sleepy-eyed, and my heart was not good! Although I don't know the art of physiognomy, he has a wide forehead, a wide face, thin eyes, a collapsed nose, and thin lips, and he looks like a mean look!
In addition, the buttons of the clothes he was wearing were crooked, which showed that this person was lazy. Combined, this man must be an iron rooster, and a very treacherous kind of iron rooster!
"You're going to rent my store?" He walked up to me and asked in a loud voice!
"Hmmm! You can take us inside first! I said lightly.
"Yes, yes!"
He took out the key and quickly opened the door, and we walked in and immediately felt a light in our eyes!
This street is an ancient street, and the buildings are relatively ancient, and this storefront is naturally no exception, even the gate is also a double gate in ancient times.
In today's era, in some relatively remote rural areas, there are also such doors.
The inside of the shop is relatively spacious, and there are two rooms in a row, one on the left and one on the right, and the one on the left is very wide, so it should be the hall! The one on the right is relatively narrow, so it's supposed to be for storage.
There is nothing in the store, not even a stool! I looked closely and found a door in the corner. So I pointed to the door and asked, "What's that?" ”
He smiled at me and said meaningfully, "That's the bedroom, and I have a small yard in the back that connects to the mountain, which is not found in other shops!" ”
I smiled, pushed the door open, and walked in.
Indeed, as he said, after pushing the door in, there was a bedroom, and there was a door in the corner of the bedroom, and I pushed the door out again, and entered a relatively empty open space, the edge of which was fenced by some fences, and it did feel a bit like a yard! It's just a little too simple.
I'm very happy with the environment, I can open a shop outside, and there is such a big open space in the back, which is quiet and suitable for my appetite. Not only can you practice martial arts! You can also do a variety of things.
I glanced at him a few times, and when I saw his brows slightly furrowed and his eyes slightly narrowed, I knew that he still wanted to raise the price, so I said: "Look, although your place is bigger than other places, it doesn't have any equipment, and this yard was opened by you privately, and it seems that there are many benefits on the surface, but if it is found out by the city management, I will have to suffer, right?"
The fat man leaked a smile and said, "Little brother, you don't know, this place has a lot of traffic, it's a good location, you go and inquire about other stores, it's absolutely useless if you don't have 15,000." I'll only charge you 13,000, isn't this already giving you the biggest concession? ”
I sneered, turned around and pointed to the bedroom, and said with a smile: "Boss Chen, you can't be so unkind, do you think I can't see it?" At most, 10,000, don't rent me and leave! ”
With that, I turned around and left.
The fat man Boss Chen's face was startled, he grabbed my hand, his eyes were full of incredulity, and he said excitedly: "You can see everything?"
I nodded, there is a reason why this Boss Chen rents out this store at a low price, because he knows that this place is haunted, so he wants to sell it without anyone else knowing.
And I just rented out, and he was reluctant, but I said I was going to rent it for a year, and he agreed.
We continued to bargain for a while, and finally set the price at 8,000 yuan a month! Of course, this is not Boss Chen's generosity, but I promised to help him solve the things in the bedroom, and he excitedly agreed.
I paid the rent straight for a year and then started packing up.
Actually, except for the lack of furnishings in this shop, it is quite clean, and I went out to be busy for a while and bought a lot of things. What tables, chairs, benches, vases, cabinets, household utensils, bed items, spending money like running water, made me feel distressed for a while.
I changed the plaque in the store and replaced it with a metaphysical consultation center! I don't dare to choose a name that is too conspicuous, as soon as the chengguan comes, I have to enter the bureau.
There is a row of wooden chairs against the wall on the left side of the store, and a crystal counter against the wall on the right, which is where I usually sit. There are also a pair of ink paintings hanging on the wall, which looks a little bit like this!
I didn't paint the walls because it's an antique building and there's no need for that!
I was a little tired after a long time, but I wasn't idle, and he started drawing talismans on the crystal counter. If you want to subdue that old lady, you definitely need a corpse charm, and I haven't drawn it yet.
It was late at night, Cloudless had fallen asleep, and I sat at the crystal counter with notes in hand.
In fact, in the final analysis, this is also a business, and if it is done well, the money will definitely not be less. But what I value more is to accumulate virtue and do good, even if it is not for myself, then I will not die without help. But every time you save someone, it's yourself who is tired!
I don't know where a gust of wind blew my notes open, and the sound of the paper turning made me frown, and I reached out to close the notes. Then, the moment I bowed my head, a thin piece of paper blew out of it. I hurriedly ran out to chase it and grabbed it in my hand!
This one is really thin, and when I hold it in my hand, I feel like it will disappear in an instant, as if it can turn into powder as soon as I exert myself.
I didn't dare to push it, so I carefully spread it out and silently read the information on it.
It turned out that this was a letter left by the old man for me, with some secrets written on it, a secret about me and him!
