Chapter 25: I'm so weak!
The stone table and stone benches were pulled by two ox carts, and a total of four master stonemasons carried them into the gate and placed them in a suitable position under the jujube tree according to Ji Yuan's instructions.
Even with the table, stool and labor, it cost Ji Yuan 1 tael of silver, which can be said to be the most expensive item in this expense, the four stonemason masters put the things and collected the balance, and left Ju'an Xiaoge without saying a word.
Now that Ji Yuan has a place to rest, he sits on the stone bench in the courtyard, watching the people in the main room and the side room busy, and from time to time he goes over to point out what to put and where.
"This ancient market vendor is actually quite professional, and his hands and feet are so nimble!"
And take a look at the women and men who are cleaning, don't work too hard, originally said to clean in half a day, but now it is estimated that with their sweaty work method, it will be over an hour at most!
Interestingly, some shops come to deliver things but don't come in, such as the one that sells bedding, and some of the guys from some shops move things in and take the balance and leave, without talking or even glancing, as if there is something urgent.
The group of people who were invited to clean up are more normal, and the cleaning is lively and lively, and the work in hand is not ambiguous at all, even if someone wants to chat, there are also stewards to stop it, and I don't know if the working state is so strict.
'The ancients were industrious!'
Ji Yuan sighed in his heart, then propped his chin and continued to be in a daze.
Cleaning is basically a process of dusting, cleaning the dust from each room, then wiping it with a wet towel and a mop, and some people specially re-gluing the paper from the windows.
Ji Yuan was curious, and he specially went to grind it with his hands, and found that this kind of paper pasting windows is very tough, almost belongs to the oil paper used to make umbrellas, and it is not like the TV show that can be pierced with a little saliva, even if it is windy and rainy, it is absolutely fine.
。。。
I don't know how long it has been, listening to the people in a few rooms busy and busy, Ji Yuan, who was yawning, suddenly felt a pang in his heart, subconsciously turned his head to the well, and looked at it with a frown for a long time.
Due to the need for water for cleaning, the cover plate on the top of this well has been removed, just now he felt a little cool in this direction, now he looks, the whole well surface is dark, I don't know if it is the reason for being shaded by trees.
As Ji Yuan's eyes widened slightly, he seemed to see how the shadows under the well looked awkward, and there was a feeling of gloom when he looked at it.
I don't know why, I can't help but recall some horror movies I watched in my previous life, which makes Ji Yuan have goosebumps.
'Scared yourself!!'
Rubbing his arms, Ji Yuan forced himself not to think about it.
"Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji?"
At this moment, there was a deafening sound that seemed to come from the sky, which directly startled Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan's body shook and woke up, only to find that he had just fallen asleep on the stone table.
When he turned his head, he saw that the helpers hired to clean the mansion had all carried buckets and tools to the courtyard, and a total of eight people were standing beside him.
"Mr. Ji, we've finished cleaning, can you take a look?"
"Cleaned up, so fast?"
"Uh, hey, yes, take a look, if we're not satisfied, we can clean it up again. ”
Since they all said so, Ji Yuan also got up from the stone bench.
"Okay, I'll see!"
I walked around a few rooms, reached out and wiped the gaps in the windowsill from time to time, and looked under the bed and every corner with a probe, and basically cleaned it quite clean.
When I went to hire people today, many people heard that they were far away from the corner of Tianniufang, and this team still came at double the price, but now it seems that it is worth the money.
Out into the courtyard, the group of people stood there waiting.
"Yes, a few people have worked hard"
Ji Yuan took out the money bag, discharged a pile of five treasures, counted forty in front of them, and then added two more and put them on top.
"This is the salary, the extra 10 yuan should be invited to tea!"
"Thank you, Mr. Ji!" "Thank you, Mr. Ji!"
"Then we'll go first, shall we?"
In the midst of everyone's thanks, the leading man hurriedly said goodbye while holding the money.
"Okay, don't send it slowly!"
Ji Yuan put on a gentle and elegant appearance, smiling and bowing, after all, today's new line has not pretended to be forced, so he has to practice.
However, the reaction of this group of helpers is similar before and after, they are all enthusiastic, and they can't tell whether it is because of the face of money or the demeanor of fate.
It wasn't until the footsteps of a group of people walked a little distance that Ji Yuan faintly heard some vague small discussions.
"This house is really nice!!"
"Hey, Mr. Na Ji is very good, he seems to be a learned person!"
"The name of this house always feels a little familiar..."
When the leader heard this, he only urged.
"Don't say it, go fast, go fast!"
"That gentleman can't tell how old he is, but he looks so good!"
"And said, hurry up, what's the use of looking good?"
......
Yes, I was satisfied with the last few sentences, but I couldn't see what it meant to be old, could I still look old? What is the use of being good-looking? It's better than not being good-looking!
At this time, the sun is setting in the west, and it is still close to dusk.
Although the Cheng set in a few rooms is still relatively simple, it can be regarded as complete, and Ji Yuan is a little distracted when he sits in the courtyard.
It's a pity that there is no Internet, no mobile phone, and there are no innocent young heroes who come to Mr. Ji from time to time.
"Hey, it's a little lonely...... Hiss..."
Ji Yuan, who sighed, suddenly turned his head nervously to look at the well, stood up and walked to the side, grabbed the wooden cover and "slammed" it back to cover the well.
"Whew... It's much more comfortable, and I should have watched less horror movies in my last life and scared myself!"
。。。
In the middle of the night, the voice of the husband spread far away in the silent night, and also reached Ji Yuan's ears.
"Boom... Knock knock ......"
"Safe and sound~~~~"
"Boom... Knock knock ......"
"Safe and sound~~~~"
......
I don't know why, Ji Yuan couldn't sleep tonight, and tried all kinds of tricks such as counting sheep and doing exercises, but it didn't work.
As soon as the husband knocked on the bangzi, Ji Yuan, who closed his eyes, knew that he had actually survived to the third watch, and he still understood this after knocking on the bangzi three times.
Although it is actually equivalent to 11 o'clock in the evening, it is now dark early and there is no entertainment, so it is the right thing to go to bed early and get up early.
'Could it be that someone still recognizes the bed?' Or is it so excited to have a house?'
Thinking like this, Ji Yuan suddenly felt that the temperature was a lot cooler unconsciously.
"Squeak...... Boom... Chirping... Squeak..."
The creaking of an old wooden plank sounded from the courtyard outside the door, very soft, but it definitely couldn't escape Ji Yuan's ears.
Ji Yuan's body paused, and he kept absolutely quiet and listened carefully, hoping that it was an auditory hallucination just now.
"Squeak ......"
The planks at the mouth of the well, which were pressed against the stones, were lifted up little by little, making a sound of overwhelmed wood.
Ji Yuan, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes suddenly, all kinds of associations during the day flashed through his mind, a chill on his back rushed to the top of his head, and the fine sweat on his forehead came out like magic.
"Squeak ......"
"Bang..."
The stone pressed on the wooden board fell to the ground, and Ji Yuan's heart also beat hard with the stone falling to the ground.
The wooden cover was pushed to the side, and dense hair overflowed from the mouth of the well......
"Gollum ......"
As the chill became heavier and heavier, Ji Yuan swallowed a mouthful of water, pulled the quilt on the bed, and quietly covered his head with extremely slow movements.
'He... Mother... Target... I won't be so unlucky!! damn broker, I'm your mother's ancestor!!'
