(Ask for recommendation votes to be added to the list!)
The Gengjia courtyard is located at the east end of the street, covering an area of nearly half an acre, belonging to the specifications of the two-entry courtyard, the latter one into the residents, the first into the shop.
Because of the haunted incident, no one has taken care of it in the courtyard for nearly ten days, and it looks a little bleak and desolate.
In fact, this place does not belong to the downtown area, it is a little remote, but the Geng family was originally used to sell oil, but it is okay, and Chen Jianchen took it down to live, there is no big problem, but it is happy and quiet.
Yes, now this courtyard is no longer surnamed Geng, but has changed its surname to Chen.
In the morning, Chen Jianchen and Wang Fu found the Geng family, and wanted to rent the courtyard first, but when they asked, the staff said that the entire courtyard would be sold for fifteen ingots of silver.
This price is seriously lower than the market price.
It's not easy to live in the city.
The usual price of such a courtyard is at least about 30 silver ingots, but now it is discounted by 5%.
As soon as he was in his heart, Chen Jianchen came up with the idea of buying a yard, and immediately borrowed six ingots of silver from Wang Fu, scraped together enough money, and went to the government with the Geng family to complete the transfer documents.
As a result, the courtyard became Chen Jianchen's industry, and it was finally no longer a poor and impoverished person.
This industry came faster than expected, and it was much smoother, Chen Jianchen was full of excitement, and he wanted to suppress the ghosts and demons in the house as soon as possible, and then take his mother and Ah Bao into the city.
As for the opening of a calligraphy and painting shop, it can be postponed for the time being.
When I entered the courtyard, the furniture, oil drums and other items inside were basically emptied, and they were all moved out by Geng Yuan's expatriate and sold at a loss. As a result, the whole house seemed empty, full of wreckage and garbage.
Wang Fu followed Chen Jianchen closely, and walked around the house, looking everywhere with a pair of eyes, for fear that the ghost thing would suddenly come out.
In fact, Wang Fu was against Chen Jianchen's purchase of a house.
It's a haunted house, and it's not good for people.
Chen Jianchen said proudly: "As long as a scholar has a righteous heart and a righteous mind, where is the reason to be afraid of ghosts?"
Hearing this, the king pouted, and anyone could say beautiful words, depending on how well those gentlemen said in class, one by one, but what temples and the like they encountered, they visited faster than the students, and they all asked for peace of mind. However, he knew that the things that Chen Jianchen had decided would not change, so he didn't say much, and he was happy to be a borrower.
After turning around, Chen Jianchen said, "Brother Futai, I will stay in the house tonight, and you can go back to the academy." ”
Wang Fu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Liuxian, are you really sure?"
Chen Jianchen smiled: "If I am not sure, how can I buy the house?"
Wang Fu thought about it in his heart and felt that Chen Jianchen was young and old, and he acted in a measured manner, which he knew very well. After a few more words, he took his leave and left.
In the house, there is only one Chen Jianchen left.
He put down the book, took out the four treasures of the study from it, placed them neatly in the open space, concentrated on it, brushed it, and wrote a picture of the word "town" one by one.
The large-character pen and ink are dripping, the spirit is bright, and there is righteousness on it.
After a slight pause, Chen Jianchen had an idea, and wrote another word, the word "Ding". But it was not written on paper, but on the palm of his left hand.
The word "ding" is written in the palm of your hand. Its font strokes are rigorous and upright.
He gently dried his pen and ink, and then sat in the empty hall, waiting for night to fall.
The night came quickly, and a bright moon hung in the sky outside the window, spreading the cold moonlight in, and imprinting the shadow of Po on the ground.
Under the moonlight, Chen Jianchen's shadow stretched long and straight to the wall.
On the wall behind him, the word "town" was pasted on it.
Rustle!
I don't know when, suddenly there was a strange sound outside the window, as if something was dragging and moving on the ground, and the sound was very uncomfortable to listen to.
Chen Jianchen suddenly opened his eyes, and saw a huge head suddenly popping out of the open window.
Its head is as big as a bucket, its huge eyes are like copper bells, its nose is facing the sky, and it has a big mouth, which is just a hideous-looking ghost.
The ghost thing poked his head out of the window and grinned at Chen Jianchen for a while-if he changed to an ordinary timid person, he was afraid that he would immediately have and urine rushing and dolphin sound. But Chen Jianchen was no one, sitting upright and not moving, just waiting for the other party to enter the house.
Seeing that the ghost couldn't scare him at this moment, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, his mouth made a sound, his big mouth opened, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, and a scarlet tongue stretched out long, which was even more terrifying.
Chen Jianchen suddenly laughed and said: "You evil ghost, you are not up to standard, you only rely on a pair of ugly skins to frighten people, you will inevitably fall into the inferior, why don't you go into the house and sit down, how about we have a long talk?"
At this moment, he suddenly remembered a little story, about a Cao Sheng in ancient times, who lived in a friend's study, and in the middle of the night, something crawled in through the crack in the door like a worm, as thin as a piece of paper.
When I entered the room, the paper gradually unfolded into the appearance of an adult, and it was a woman with a pale face.
The incident happened suddenly, but Cao Sheng was not afraid at all and continued to read calmly. The woman suddenly spread her hair and stuck out her tongue, pretending to be a hanged ghost.
Seeing this, Cao Sheng smiled and said: "The cloak is scattered, it is still hair, but it is a little messy after a while, no matter how long the tongue is, it is still the tongue, even if it is longer, what is there to be afraid of?"
Seeing that he could not be frightened, the female ghost suddenly took off her head and put it on the table.
Unexpectedly, Cao Sheng laughed louder and said, "It's not worth being afraid of having a head, let alone having a head?"
The female ghost Qian's donkey skills are poor, and her skills are exhausted, so she has to leave and disappear.
At present, Chen Jianchen is more dependent than that Cao Sheng, full of confidence, and even more fearless.
The ghost outside the window repeatedly frightened Chen Jianchen, and he looked quite impatient, and with a squeak, the whole huge body rushed into the window and rushed into the room.
His eyes flickered red, thinking that this time Chen Jianchen must not be frightened and flee?
But it was disappointed, although Chen Jianchen made a move, he didn't run away, but Huo Ran got up, but wanted to catch up, not afraid at all.
My good ......
The ghost thing has run out of axes, and he knows that the wrong way is wrong, so he suddenly turns around and wants to escape.
It's trying to escape?
Chen Jianchen is angry and funny, this ghost thing is too strong and dry, far weaker than imagined, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a "paper tiger", and he shouted at the moment: "Where to go?"
Rushing forward, he was extremely agile, and immediately grabbed behind the ghost, opened his left palm, and slapped the ghost's swarthy body with one palm.
Zizizizi!
Under the palm of your hand, a strange change suddenly happens!
