Ji Que stood in this street and alley that he strayed into, and he had a particularly good feeling for a while.

One moment he was still walking in the noisy night market, but this moment he came to this quiet moonlit alley, and he really had the illusion of walking in a dream.

People who love literature and art pretend to say that liking a city often starts with a certain person who likes the city; For those with a thirsty mouth, liking a city starts with liking its food.

Ji Que is obviously biased towards the latter, and he has been doing it these days, but at this moment, he prefers this kind of beauty in the middle of nowhere.

He really liked the alley in the moonlight.

There's the smell of fireworks in the world that he's always loved.

Sangshui County, where I lived before, was more than quiet, but it was not popular, especially after Tang Yi left, it was even more deserted.

Ji Que was really a little bit able to eat, so he spread the chaise longue he carried with him, and then lay down comfortably.

In front of him was a ditch filled with moonlight, and above his head were small branches hanging down, accompanied by a cool breeze, Ji Que quickly entered a mysterious realm.

He closed his eyes, but he could clearly feel the mottling on the walls, the dew on the branches, and the clear ditch where a fish jumped out of the water and shattered the moonlight.

At this moment, he remembered Tang Yi.

He remembered Tang Yi sitting on this recliner, the state of lazy artistic conception and the unity of man and chair.

It's the first time he's been so close to this state, and it's extraordinarily wonderful.

After that, Ji Que seemed to be possessed by Tang Yi, he didn't leave, and he didn't want to go, so he fell asleep with the night breeze and the fragrance of flowers.

This night, he slept soundly, more comfortable than in the basement room of the sleeping inn before.

In the early morning, Ji Que was woken up by a few drops of dew.

After that, Ji Que came to the ditch, took out wicker, fine salt, and a wooden cup from the book, brushed his teeth and washed up.

He wasn't too worried about the water, because he saw someone washing downstream.

After washing up almost completely, Ji Que stuffed these back in.

Last night's experience was really good, Ji Que cleaned up the baby recliner while thinking about whether there were any cheap houses for rent in the neighborhood.

It was only then that he noticed a piece of paper taped to the wall where he had been lying there last night.

On the old yellow paper, which was missing a small half, the words "This house is for rent" were written.

Wouldn't you, be so lucky?

As soon as he wanted to live nearby, there was a house for rent here, which was so lucky that Ji Que was quite uncomfortable.

After that, he started renting a house.

But the paper on the wall was already torn, and there was no information about the owner of the house, and he knocked on the door and no one answered.

So Ji Que could only go to the broker of the tooth shop.

The so-called broker is the intermediary of ancient times.

The brokers in the tooth shop were very enthusiastic, and when they heard that he was going to rent a house there, and it happened that the owner of the house was entrusting them to rent and sell, they immediately took him there.

The man who looked at the house with him was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old broker, who, like ordinary brokers, kept praising the good of the house.

Crucially, it's cheap.

No, it can't be called cheap, that's cost-effective.

One tael of silver a month, half a year of rent, the whole rent for a year is only ten taels.

This is compared to an inn that is five dollars of silver a night, which is equivalent to a prostitute for nothing.

However, on the way there, Ji Que already had a plan in his heart.

At this price, it is estimated that the house is not very good.

But because of last night, he had almost decided that if the house wasn't particularly bad, he would have rented it.

The door to the room where he had been with him last night was opened.

The walls of this courtyard are not high, and the gate is a little old, but after pushing the door open, Ji Que was a little surprised.

The layout of the inside resembles a small courtyard house, which can be regarded as a spacious courtyard with a well, which should be protected from falling into leaves and debris, and the mouth of the well is covered with a wooden cover.

There was a little dust on the lid and two stones pressed on it.

On the east side of the yard, there is a tall jujube tree, which looks to be growing well.

The little broker next to him hurriedly introduced: "This son, if you come two months early, you should still be able to eat this big and sweet date." ”

"Look at the back." Ji Que said.

Outside the back door of the house is a small wasteland.

The wasteland is overgrown with weeds, and there are some abandoned vegetable fields and gourd racks, which should have been left by the people who lived there before.

This place is really not small, and then Ji Que and the broker went to see the main house, the side room and the kitchen, and even the thatched house was not spared.

Although there is a layer of fine ash inside and outside the room, in terms of modeling pattern, it is even better than his small courtyard in Sangshui County.

"Such a place, a tael of silver a month? Rent from half a year, and the whole rent is only ten taels a year? How is this really the same as white prostitution? Ji Que thought about the price and secretly wondered.

With his understanding of the prices and rents in Rencheng this day, it shouldn't be so cheap.

So he couldn't help but ask, "How can it be so cheap?" ”

The little broker hurriedly said: "Son, you are a foreigner, and the small ones don't fool you, this Tianren City is southeast and northwest, the big people like the east city, and the rich old man who likes elegance likes the Qing Canal in the south, and the north side is decent, only this west side is the most affordable."

What to say about this land, although it is a separate courtyard, but it is really a little off, those who have money can't look down on it, and those who don't have money simply find a way to shop, the house is not rented out for much time, and it is empty and empty, and the owner is often absent, so it is so cheap......"

"Childe, this boundary is really good, go out and turn left a few streets to the night market, which is very convenient. Look at this alley, there is a dark fragrance of flowers, even in the daytime, it is quiet, and there is not even a little shouting.

In the west of the city, this place is the most noisy and quiet.

According to the small one, although this place is far away from the Qing Canal and Yuhuayan, you want to live for a long time. In the words of our locals, those who yearn for those realms come for fun and follow the trend, and living in this kind of place is called life. ”

Although he knew that this was the little broker's words, Ji Que was moved when he heard it.

He didn't want to rent anymore, but wanted to buy ......

Eh, Lao Tzu has crossed over how he still thinks about buying a house.

Seeing that he was still hesitating, the little broker continued: "Childe, this house is a little more dusty, and it will definitely look new when it is picked up." The small shop just happens to have a cleaning service, only

Five coins of silver are required to ensure that the dust is not clean. ”

At this time, the broker boy gave him the final blow - "The guest officer dislikes this house for being dirty, right?" The house has not been lived in for a long time, and it really needs to be taken care of, and the small shop just has a cleaning business, and it only needs seven dollars of silver to ensure that the dust is not clean. ”。

Ji Que was puzzled: "Dusty? ”

In fact, he was most worried about the condition of the thatched house, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but cover his nose and say, "Can this be dusty?" ”

The little broker nodded and said, "Of course it's fine, but you need to add some money." ”

"Okay, that's it, can you clean it up today?"

"Guarantee that there is no problem, so how long are you going to rent it?" As soon as I saw you, I was attached to this house. ”

Although Ji Que had already made a decision in his heart, he still did not say that he wanted to rent it, and said, "Let your people be clean first." ”

The little broker was stunned for a moment, this kind of thing of letting the house be cleaned before renting was the first time he had encountered it.

"Don't worry, the cleaning fee will be calculated."

"Okay." After hearing this, the little broker naturally no longer hesitated, and ran to the store.

Ji Que sat on the recliner to rest as usual, and after about two pillars of incense, the little broker came over with five people.

These five people carry all kinds of cleaning tools, and they look very professional.

After about an hour and a half, the whole house really had a new look.

A small table and chair that had been placed in the room before were cleaned and placed in front of a window, and Ji Que naturally sat down.

Sitting here, he could see the alley.

At the end of the bluestone paved road, there was a little girl about seven or eight years old, who was walking with her father selling flowers.

She has a cute little bun and loves to laugh, and when she laughs, she has two shallow dimples on her face, which is quite cute.

From time to time, people pass by, or ask for flowers to buy flowers, or ignore them, or walk in groups, or form a single shadow.

Looking at the people in the alley dressed in simple clothes, and listening to the sound of the gurgling ditch water in front of the window, Ji Que once again really felt that he was really not in the original time and space.

Outside the house, the fallen leaves in the small courtyard were swept together and stacked comfortably.

This is also the first time that Ji Que has had the urge to settle down again after leaving Sangshui County.

This should be a good place for him to stay for a long time.

The broker stood aside with a smile, made him a cup of tea with freshly boiled water, and asked, "Guest, this house is almost cleaned, how do you think about it?" ”

Ji Que nodded and said, "I'm quite satisfied." ”

"Then how long are you going to rent, this place is good to live in for more than a year."

Ji Que gently tapped the slightly old desktop with his fingers and said, "Is this house for sale?" ”

Little broker: "!! ”
