Chapter 4: The Murderous House
A meal full of wine and food cost Feng Yuan twenty yuan, but it is not expensive, it is not as good as the price of Zhang Fatzi's book, which is why Feng Yuan was so surprised that Zhang Fatzi spent fifty yuan to buy a book just now.
In this world, ordinary people, one hundred wen can live for a month, Feng Yuan has these five hundred wen in his pocket, as long as he doesn't prostitute or gamble, and lasts for half a year, that's not a problem.
"I said Feng Yuan, you haven't come to the book street to sell calligraphy and paintings in the past few days, where did you get so much money, according to your previous character of picking the door, you can't afford to go to the restaurant if you have money, don't you get rich, bring your brothers together!"
Fat Zhang wiped his mouth while looking at Feng Yuan with a lewd smile.
"You can't!" Feng Yuan looked at Zhang Fatzi and shook his head.
"Why?"
"You're stupid!"
"Can't you be tactful?"
"You're full of dung!"
"Don't be tactful!"
Feng Yuan looked at Zhang Fatzi and said with a smile: "Fatty, the kind of novel you said just now is so popular, why don't you write a copy like this, maybe you can become popular, won't you make a fortune?"
"I think, you don't know, I bought this show, how can I have the ability to write, and there are so many people who write now, but there is only one red one, this bowl of rice is not for anyone to eat, I don't think I have that ability!"
Zhang Fatzi looked at Feng Yuandao, but he knew himself very thoroughly.
Feng Yuan nodded, looked at Zhang Fatzi and asked, "Which bookstore produced the books?"
"It's the Hanlin bookstore in the middle of the book street!"
"Okay, understood, I won't tell you, I still have something to do, see you another day!"
Feng Yuan heard the news he wanted, so he waved goodbye to Zhang Fatzi.
"Feng Yuan, you wait, I'm fine, I'll join you, maybe I can help you!"
Zhang Fatzi chased after him with a smile.
"Dead fatty, I see that you are staring at my money, you want to rub another meal!" Feng Yuan looked at Zhang Fatzi and sneered.
"Ahem...... This, oops, the weather is so sunny, it's really autumn!"
"It's summer!" Feng Yuan looked at Zhang Fatzi and sneered, Zhang Fatzi was very embarrassed, scratched his head, looked around, Feng Yuan looked at Zhang Fatzi, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, looked at Zhang Fatzi and said: "Fatty, I remember that you are very well-informed, in this way, you can help me inquire, where is there a house for rent!"
"You're renting a house in the city?"
"Hmm!" Feng Yuan nodded, he didn't want to go back to that broken countryside to stay, if he wanted to make money and make a fortune, then he had to be in the city, in the big city to have a chance.
"I know that there is a house, and it is very beautiful, and the price is cheap, ten cents a year!"
"What! Ten cents a year? Do you say it again?" Feng Yuan thought he had heard something.
"You heard it right, it's really ten cents a year!" Zhang Fatzi looked at Feng Yuandao, "However, this house is a bit evil, I heard that it is haunted, and many people who have lived in it have gone crazy, and one is dead!"
"Haunted? that's interesting, show me it!"
Feng Yuan immediately said when he heard this, Feng Yuan has always been bold, in his previous life, he often went to various supernatural places to explore, he had never seen a ghost, but he was looking forward to seeing a ghost, it would be better to come to a sexy female ghost, and a ghost love from another world would not be over.
"Are you really going?"
"Don't talk nonsense, lead the way!" Feng Yuan patted Zhang Fat and said.
"That's okay, but I'll say it first, I'm not responsible for what happened, don't blame me when the time comes!" Zhang Fatzi looked at Feng Yuan and reminded.
"Okay, young mother-in-law, lead the way!" Feng Yuan said impatiently.
Immediately, Zhang Fatzi took Feng Yuan and walked towards the house he said, the distance was not very far, just a few streets away, just a few streets next to the book street where Feng Yuan often set up stalls.
After a while, the two came to the house that Zhang Fatzi said, in the middle of the main street, there was a very large house and a very magnificent courtyard, and there were seven from beginning to end.
What does it mean to enter the seven, in fact, it is the house into the inside, a courtyard is one entry, seven into the seven courtyards, simply put, one into a suite, seven into the equivalent of a building.
Generally speaking, this kind of house, not everyone can live, must have an identity, some officials, palace nobles and the like, can live in this kind of house, ordinary people are generally one or two into the courtyard even if it is very magnificent, a little better three, no official person can not more than three in, no matter how rich it is, otherwise it is illegal, to cut off the head.
In front of this big mansion with seven entrances, although there is no plaque on the door, I don't know what kind of magnate it belongs to, but I know with my toes that the identity of the director of the house is definitely not simple.
"Look, this house is good, if it weren't haunted, let alone ten cents, ten taels of gold wouldn't be able to enter!"
Feng Yuan nodded, looked at Zhang Fatzi and asked, "This house is not an ordinary person, who is the owner?"
"I don't know, it's been abandoned for a long time, you want to know, let's go and ask the gatekeeper!" Zhang Fatzi looked at Feng Yuandao, and after speaking, he led Feng Yuan towards the gate, stretched out his hand and patted the vermilion gate.
After a while, the door opened, just a gap, looking through the gap, Feng Yuan saw a dried corpse in the crack of the door, and immediately frightened Feng Yuan: ", big zongzi!"
"Uncle, let's rent a house, please open the door!" Zhang Fatzi said inside the crack in the door.
After Zhang Fatzi finished speaking, the vermilion door opened, and the "dry corpse" appeared in front of the two, of course, it was not a dry corpse, but a skinny old man, completely skinny, like a few things that were too bright with drugs.
"Who wants to rent a house?" asked the old man, staring at Zhang Fatzi.
"It's not me, it's him!" Zhang Fatzi pointed to Feng Yuan beside him.
The old man looked at Feng Yuan, frowned slightly, and said, "Do you want to rent it?" I can remind you, Housheng, this place is evil, if you don't have the guts, don't rent it!"
"Uncle, I know, I came here on purpose, can you take us to visit?" Feng Yuan looked at the old man and said.
The old man looked at Feng Yuan for a few seconds, then nodded, turned around and led the two of them inside.
At first glance, this house knows that it has been abandoned for many years, and although the yard is beautifully built, it is overgrown with weeds, and it looks like a wilderness, with a strong atmosphere of decadence.
"This house has not been lived in for many years, and it is a bit messy, but it is enough to find someone to clean it up!" the old man looked at Feng Yuandao as he walked.
led Feng Yuan around the first courtyard, then stopped, looked at Feng Yuan and said, "How do you feel!"
"Okay, what's the back?" Feng Yuan asked, looking at the courtyard behind him.
"The structure behind is almost the same, but it's better not to go, it's a little more evil over there, you have to live in this first entry, don't run to the back, it's fine!"
The old man looked at Feng Yuandao.
Feng Yuan nodded, it seemed that this haunting was not groundless, it was indeed a fact, but this aroused Feng Yuan's curiosity.
"Okay, then I want this house, how much is it!" Feng Yuan looked at the old man and asked.
The old man waved his hand, looked at Feng Yuan and shook his head and said, "Don't mention the money first, you can live here first, and when you are fine in a few days, I will collect the money again!"
The old man's words were very scary, and the legs of the fat man next to him trembled a little, and he looked at Feng Yuan and said, "Do you want to think about it again, human life is a matter of heaven!"
"No!"
Feng Yuan shook his head, then looked at the old man and said, "Uncle, who is the original owner of this house, is it still there?"
"Yes, the whole family has moved to the national capital, I will stay here to watch the house, as for who it is, I can't tell you!" The old man looked at Feng Yuandao, "If you are sure, I will find someone to help you clean it up later, and you can live here tonight!"
"Sure, I want it!" Feng Yuan looked at the old man and said seriously.
