Chapter 50: The Haunted Bookstore
"Find an inn to stay in first, and then let's talk about the rest of the matter!"
Ye Qing groaned.
"Haha, that's good, when Wuhuan settles down, send someone to the county government to inform me, and when you have time, invite Wuhuan to have a drink to thank you for this help. Yan Yufei smiled, it wasn't that he was perfunctory, but he had just taken over the post of Anyang County Commander and had a lot of things to do, so he was not free for the time being, so he could only wait for him to be free, and then thank the other party and make friends.
Ye Qing understood: "The adults are polite, when the adults are free, I will definitely go and ask for a glass of wine!"
"Haha, then it's decided!" Yan Yufei laughed heartily, and then arched his hand: "Then we will leave first!"
"My lord, please!" Ye Qing also arched his hand, and after saying goodbye to Yan Yufei, Yan Feng, Yang Guan and others one by one, he looked at Kung Fu Frog and said, "There are only two of us left, let's find a place to settle down first!"
"Quack......" Kung Fu Frog croaked twice in response.
Next, one person and one frog, wandering along the streets, while looking for a place to eat and stay.
However, every time he went to an inn, the innkeeper saw that he was carrying a strange monster, and although this strange monster did not seem to be dangerous, they all refused it one after another, for the same reason, saying that it would frighten the guests and affect the business of their inn, and so on.
Therefore, after visiting most of Anyang City, one person and one frog were stunned and did not find a place to live!
"Alas, trouble!" Ye Qing and Kung Fu Frog squatted under a stone bridge, looking at the clear river, and said helplessly.
Although there are many people in the city who have pets such as weirdos, ordinary people are still afraid of weirdness, so he can understand the innkeeper's thoughts, but in the end, it's still him!
Could it be that he, a powerhouse in the Expansion Pulse Realm, wants to live on the streets?
Unacceptable, unacceptable!
"Why don't we just buy a shop or a house?" Suddenly, Ye Qing's eyes lit up, there were a lot of snowflakes and silver in the mountains and rivers he seized from Xiangye and Zheng Tianyuan, especially in Xiangye's mountains and rivers, there was a large amount of snowflakes and silver, which may be his life savings, and Zheng Tianyuan, who was the second generation of the rich, also had a lot of snowflakes and silver in his hands, and in the end they were all cheaper for him, so he was really not short of money.
"Quack......" Kung Fu Frog nodded.
"Okay, that's it!" "Just do it, buy a house, find a dental shop, the so-called dental shop, is equivalent to an intermediary in another world, a business firm that accepts commissions, introduces transactions, and draws commissions from them.
After finding a passer-by and inquiring about the address, Ye Qing came directly to a business house called Yijun Yahang, and as soon as he entered the door, someone greeted him.
"Welcome to the guest officer, whether the guest officer wants to buy something, send something, or sell something, we have corresponding services in Yijun Yaxing, cheap and affordable, Baojun is satisfied!"
"Advertise, this is!" For the articulate tooth guy, Ye Qing said directly: "Buy a house, or have a shop for sale cheaply, you can also do it!"
Hearing this, the man's eyes lit up, buying a house, this is a big business, if this transaction is completed, he will definitely be able to earn a lot of commissions from it, and the smile on his face suddenly became brighter: "I don't know what kind of house or shop the guest officer wants to buy, do you have any specific requirements?"
After thinking about it, Ye Qing said: "Be quiet, the environment should be good, and the price should be moderate!"
"Haole, guest officer, wait a minute!" The guy poured Ye Qing a cup of tea, and then diligently opened a book with his hands and feet, and carefully selected it.
"Guest officer, I looked for it, there are currently two houses, and one shop suits your requirements!" As he spoke, the guy gave Ye Qing a detailed description of the news of the two houses and that shop.
After listening, Ye Qing frowned, a little hesitant, to be honest, he was not very satisfied with the three houses for sale.
There are two houses to be sold, one is the four-entry mansion, the original owner is a down-and-out Xiucai, who wants to enter Beijing to take the exam, so he wants to sell the ancestral house in exchange for the entrenchment needed to enter Beijing, but the house is in disrepair, dilapidated, and somewhat unsatisfactory; the other is the mansion of a wealthy family, which is magnanimous, gorgeous, and exquisite, because the owner of the mansion wants to go to other places to do business, so he wants to sell the house here.
The house is a good house, and other conditions are also very in line with Ye Qing's requirements, but it is too big, because it is big, so it is expensive, and because it is expensive, it is unaffordable.
And such a big house, if only he lives alone, it will be too wasteful!
As for the rest of the shop, don't mention it, it's a shop that sells pork, what did he buy it for, kill pigs or sell dog meat with sheep's heads!
In addition, his temperament and his appearance are not consistent with those who slaughter pigs and dogs!
Skip it!
"Are there any other houses or shops?" Ye Qing asked.
The guy had a difficult face: "The house or shop that is currently being sold, only these three, and the other ......"
Suddenly, the man's eyes lit up, as if he remembered something, and said: "There is also a bookstore for sale, the environment is beautiful, and the price is not expensive, but it is ......"
"It's just what, don't babble, you have something to say!" Ye Qing took a sip of tea.
The guy said: "I just heard that this bookstore is not very clean, haunted, it is said that every night, Lang Lang's reading sound will be heard in the bookstore, the sound is sometimes loud and sometimes small, sometimes happy and sometimes sad, but once someone enters, the sound of reading will stop immediately, and there is nothing unusual, very weird!"
"After a few times, everyone was panicked, and the guys walked and scattered, and finally only the owner of the bookstore remained. This bookstore has been inherited for at least decades, and has a great reputation in Anyang County, although the owner of the bookstore is reluctant, but this happened, coupled with his old age and frailty, no children and no daughters, and he is unable to run a bookstore, so he has to sell it painfully, including all the books and orphans in it. ”
"It's just that because of the haunting of the bookstore, the rumor is spreading, so this bookstore has not been sold, even if the price has dropped again and again, no one cares. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there had been no death in the bookstore except for the sound of reading, our tooth store would not have accepted this commission. ”
"Bookstore, haunted?" Hearing this, Ye Qing became interested, haunted or something, others are afraid, but he is not afraid: "What is the name of this bookstore? Where is it? How much does it cost?"
The location is at the junction of Anyang Street and Yuhua Lane, the geographical location is very superior, the price is very cheap, only one hundred taels of snowflake silver, which is definitely worth the money in the area of Anyang Street and Yuhua Lane. ”
The guy habitually touted the Boundless Books, but remembered the strange events in it, and shut his mouth again.
I guess no one will be interested in an unclean place.
"Very good, I bought it!" Ye Qing said in a grand manner.
"Ah...... Guest, are you really planning to buy Boundless Bookstore?" the guy said with his eyes wide in disbelief.
Ye Qing nodded: "Listening to what you said is so good, wouldn't I be a fool if I don't buy it again?"
The guy is a little blindsided, he used to recommend it like this, and I haven't seen anyone else tempted, are they stupid, or are you lacking in heart?
Of course, he just thought about it, so he naturally didn't dare to say it.
"But the guest officer, it's not very clean in there!" the man kindly reminded.
Hearing this, Ye Qing smiled lightly: "It's not clean, clean it, isn't it clean?"
"Hurry up and go through the formalities for me, otherwise, I'll regret it!"
"Ah...... Okay!" The guy nodded again and again, happily helped Ye Qing complete all the formalities, and personally led Ye Qing to visit the original owner of the Boundless Bookstore, and after Ye Qing paid all the fees at once, the latter also handed over the keys, land deeds and other things to Ye Qing, and signed an agreement to complete the transaction.
"In the future, this will be our territory!" Standing in front of an antique wooden study building, Ye Qing's eyes were delighted and excited.
Wuya Bookstore is a three-storey building, with flying arches at the eaves and hanging copper bells, which looks antique and full of charm.
Open the door, walked in, greeted by a neat and clean lobby, neatly placed with a variety of tables and chairs, the lobby against the wall, the ring is full of bookshelves, the shelves are placed with all kinds of books, dense, at first glance no less than thousands.
The tables and chairs placed in the lobby are obviously for guests, allowing people who buy books to read here, and those who don't buy can also read here, which is very humane.
After going up the stairs to the second floor, there are smaller rooms, which are classified into various rare and rare books, some rare or valuable books. In addition, there are several very elegantly furnished private rooms, which are for some people of status.
The third floor is a bedroom for resting, the innermost is the bedroom, the outer room is the tea room for receiving distinguished guests, and the left and right sides are the study and kitchen, all kinds of furniture and items are readily available, but it saves him a lot of trouble.
"Good place, great value for money!" Not to mention the location of the location, just the layout of the bookstore and the various books in it are definitely more than a hundred taels of snowflake silver, no wonder the original owner of the bookstore was reluctant when the title deed was handed over before.
After briefly tidying up the bedroom, and then wiping the dust from all over the downstairs, Ye Qing looked at the new bookstore and smiled faintly.
"That's it, next, it's the turn of the ghost who likes to read!"
He wants to see, what is the origin of that little ghost who likes to read?
......
Night, no wind and no moon.
When the gong rang three times, and then passed three rounds, the sound of reading suddenly came from the dark and silent bookstore.
The sound of reading is crisp and pleasant, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low, sometimes joyful, sometimes sad, and the tone is frustrated, as if a Confucian sage recites the articles of a sage, there is an inexplicable rhythm and beauty.
It's just that in the empty bookstore, it looks particularly weird!
