Chapter 55: The Haunted Wasteland
The drama immediately jumped out: "Leader, just wrap up a small matter like buying a house, I will definitely do it properly." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"But you're a liar......"
"What's wrong with the liars? Do the swindlers have no human rights? Moreover, how many of the people who are engaged in real estate and renovation are not scammers? I am walking with them, and it is easier for me to talk. ”
"Hmph, I'm afraid it's easier to cheat money. The beckoning cat muttered quietly, as if he hadn't heard it.
Trisi had just cleaned up the first floor, and before she had time to go upstairs, she hurried back from the scene that rushed out of the door: "Leader, no, I can't buy a house, the wind has been tight recently, and the purchase is restricted." ”
"Minsk is not a big city, how can it be restricted?"
"It's true," Quickleg walked in with his arms folded and grinning.
The fast-legged father died early, and only an old mother lived with his brother. As a thief by profession, he had a bad reputation among his neighbors, and his mother and brother often gave him a blank look, so apart from occasionally going back to see them, he lived in the small house rented by Mila's father. Although Fast Legs usually looks like a hippie smile, every time he comes back from his own house, Mira always sees Fast Legs sneaking up and crying.
According to the description of Fast Legs, Hitchcock, a building materials merchant, relied on his identity as the son-in-law of the Bright Moon Sword Saint to dominate the market over the years and almost monopolized the supply of building materials in Minsk City. After the disrepute of the Bright Moon Sword Saint this time, Hitchcock immediately became entangled in lawsuits, some suppliers accused him of forging contracts to delay payment, some construction parties accused him of shoddy prices, high quality, and even some people found that the steel bars were mixed with bamboo chips and sand and gravel mixed with waste paper in the engineering projects he participated in, which immediately caused a great panic in the city.
In order to appease the people, the Government Affairs Department and the Public Security Department decided to jointly enforce the law and conduct a thorough inspection of Hitchcock-related buildings throughout the city.
Speaking of Hitchcock, Mira suddenly remembered his daughter, the rude and willful little girl Alice, and she didn't know what was going on now. Speaking of which, Alice's temperament and personality are really similar to the beckoning cat, but the fat face like a bun and the delicate and cute Isabel are definitely incomparable, thinking of this, Mira involuntarily glanced into the kitchen.
The beckoning cat, who was wrapped in plain cloth and covered with an apron, struggled to carry a bucket of dirty water out of the kitchen, and when he saw Mira's comfortable appearance, he didn't get angry, and threw the bucket on the ground and said: "Don't do it, why do a beautiful girl like me have to do so much dirty and tiring work, but this guy is leisurely watching the play?"
Mira immediately cried out: "Where am I watching a play? I am here to encourage you, comfort you, cheer you on, and cheer you up." Isabel is gentle and lovely, beautiful and generous, beautiful and natural, the color of the fish and the geese, the fragrance of the moon and the flowers, diligence is your true color, kindness is your alias. ”
The beckoning cat replied with disgust: "Okay, for the sake of your honesty, keep reading, and I will spare you if you read it a hundred times." ”
The next day, several people who returned to the team were amazed to see the new house, and the beckoning cat proudly expressed his credit everywhere: "It's my credit, it's my credit, at least I wiped these tables." ”
One-eyed looked at the drama and said, "I've also heard about the purchase restriction, but we should be able to jump out of this mode of thinking and open up the blue ocean, right?"
Xizi's eyes lit up suddenly: "You mean, don't be in a hurry to buy a house first, let's settle the land?"
"Yes, since it is to be used as a station, in addition to housing, there must be stables, auditoriums, if possible, there should also be archers' shooting ranges, knights' training grounds, etc., these are not solved by buying one or two houses, it is better to buy a piece of land first, and then slowly build others. ”
The big man immediately raised his hand and said, "I know that there is a piece of land in the west of the city, which has been abandoned for a long time, and the area is very large, it must be enough for our regiment." ”
Mira was also happy: "If we only buy land, it shouldn't cost much, we can find a contractor to build our own house, maybe we can save money to buy some horses." But why has that land been abandoned for so long?"
The big man scratched his scalp: "I don't know very well, but I heard that it seems to be a haunted and fierce, and several people died for no reason, so no one usually dares to go over there." ”
Mira was even happier: "Undead, I'm still looking for it here, it's really a no-brainer, there's no need to discuss, we'll go over and have a look right away." ”
Just about to go out, he was confronted by Dama from the Mercenary Guild, and Mira said in surprise: "Uncle, why are you here?"
"Stinky boy, you said yesterday that you would go over to take over the task after settling down, I waited for a day and didn't see a figure, so I came to the door today to block you. ”
Mila scratched her scalp like a big man, "Is that so?" haha, but I'm not wrong, we haven't settled in yet. ”
Mira told Dama about the choice of the station, and Dama's face became serious: "That land? Speaking of which, I also have some friendship with the owner of the land, but there are really some evil sects there, so I advise you not to fight the idea of that land." ”
Then, Dama told a story. More than 100 years ago, there were pavilions and pavilions built on that land, and the carved railings painted beautiful buildings. The owner of the land is a big businessman in the city, on the surface he is kind and charitable, but secretly he befriended bandits to rob the house, so the wealth is accumulating more and more, and he has invited many strong people to come to see the family care home, and occasionally a few enemies come to the door to seek revenge and immediately clean up.
Once, a wealthy merchant's men intercepted and killed a caravan, leaving only a family of three. When Hao Shang saw that the girl was born beautifully, he coaxed her to say that as long as she was willing to stay with him, he would let her parents live. The girl had no choice but to be the concubine of a wealthy businessman.
It should be said that this wealthy businessman is still very fond of girls, and the degree of food and clothing has always been the best, and he also gave her a name called pothos, and built a pothos Xuan for her, which is said to have all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, just like a fairyland on earth. The pothos has lived in it for a long time, so he has lost his mind and wants to stay with the wealthy businessman.
But happy days are always short-lived, and life in a golden cage is just a dream after all. One day, someone killed the door of a wealthy businessman, led by the only brother of Luluo.
It turned out that the wealthy businessman was doing a business with no capital, and he had never had the habit of staying alive, and almost put her parents into a sack and sank the river at the same time as he brought the pothos home, and the younger brother of the pothos finally found the clue to find it.
It is not difficult to imagine what kind of expression her brother had when she saw the pothos snuggling up to the wealthy businessman, and it is not difficult to imagine what kind of mood the pothos felt when she saw her brother being chopped into meat sauce in front of her, and from that day on, the pothos went crazy.
There are many wealthy women, and they don't take a madman too seriously, they just continue to lock her up in the Green Pothos Xuan. But I don't know when the chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs began to die in batches, and gradually there were maids and servants who often died violently in their sleep, and the death was extremely miserable.
For a while, everyone was in danger, and everyone was wary of others with suspicious eyes, until one day, a magician said that he saw a strange figure covered in blood and fled into the Green Pothos Xuan.
Although the wealthy merchant was still a little reluctant, in order to appease the anger of his subordinates, he still ordered a fire to burn the green pothos Xuan to the ground, and all the strange flowers and plants, rare playthings, and all the things that existed in it were all turned into ashes, and it is said that not even a single mouse could escape.
But the weirdness didn't stop because of this, on the contrary, the tragedy happened faster and faster. The wealthy merchants spent a lot of money to hire masters to exorcise evil spirits, but the magicians and cardinals invited were helpless, and a great monk invited from Lanruo Temple just looked at it from a distance and shook his head and left, without even entering the gate.
One day when the merchant was taking a nap in the garden, the gardener in the distance suddenly heard him scream a pothos scream, and then the voice stopped abruptly. When someone finally dared to approach in fear, they found that the wealthy merchant had already died of anger, and blood was still gushing out of a large hole in his throat.
From then on, no one dared to live in that place, and the pavilions and pavilions quickly collapsed and fell into disrepair. Later, the people in the vicinity were said to often hear the screams and laughter of women, and they were all so frightened that they moved away, and there was a large wasteland in that area, except for the daring people, no one dared to pass by, and it is said that some outlaws killed people, and they were all buried there, and the city guards did not dare to go to check at all.
The descendants of the wealthy merchants also quickly decayed, and now there is only one distant nephew on record, which can be said to be extremely poor, and if anyone is really willing to buy that wasteland, he will definitely be ecstatic, and then get rid of this hot potato at a very fast speed and a very low price.
Dama said earnestly: "Mira, this place is full of ghosts, so it's better not to go." ”
Mira smiled and said, "Uncle Dama, I'm afraid of everything now, I'm not afraid of ghosts, this is just a big bargain specially given to me." ”
Dama thought about it and smiled: "Yes, I have also heard some things about you, you have the Scourge Legion in hand, so you don't have to be afraid of any powerful ghosts." Suddenly, he seemed to remember something: "By the way, speaking of the Scourge Legion, I have something to look for you." What are your thoughts on the upcoming Mercenary Tournament?"
