Chapter 15 The Haunted House
At noon on East Street, the sun was shining brightly.

The autumn sun is not too harsh, and the whole street smells warm.

Only occasionally a cold wind with fallen leaves blows, indicating the coming winter.

An Qingyu came to the Zhongren Club and met the owner of the house outside the city.

But judging by the way the other party is dressed, it should be the manager of a rich family.

This steward with a short beard gave An Qingyu a sense of urgency, as if he couldn't wait to hand over the house outside the city to An Qingyu.

An Qingyu paid the final payment very readily, and the two handed over the house deed, and then, accompanied by Uncle Qiu and the steward, the three of them hailed a carriage at the end of the street and drove out of the city.

An Qingyu finally understood why this place was called Liancheng.

There are a lot of lotus ponds outside the city, some of which are connected and some of which are separated, which makes the terrain feel a bit disconnected.

It's a pity that it's autumn now, and I can't see the beauty of lotus competing for a house.

The carriage traveled along the winding road, turning many turns, and An Qingyu finally saw the house.

The house has blue tiles and white walls, with courtyard walls, standing in the middle of several lotus ponds, looking from a distance, it is very quiet and unique.

What a great place!I didn't expect that I would pick up such a big deal!

An Qingyu looked at the house, her eyes couldn't help but bend.

She looked at the two men beside her again——

Uncle Qiu and the manager both pursed their lips tightly, and the muscles on their faces were tense. As they got closer to the house, their hearts were pounding.

An Qingyu smiled, but remained silent.

The carriage stopped about 200 meters away from the house.

No matter what Uncle Qiu and the steward tried to persuade, the coachman refused to drive the carriage any closer. In desperation, the three had no choice but to get out of the carriage and walk over.

An Qingyu thought to herself: Even the coachman is so afraid. It seems that everyone must know about the haunting of this house. This is better. I am afraid that robbers and thieves will not dare to patronize this house in the future.

The three of them walked to the gate of the house, and the steward handed over the gate and all the keys to other rooms in the house to An Qingyu, and asked An Qingyu to go in to check whether the house was in accordance with the deed.

Uncle Qiu frowned, and said with some displeasure: "How can she see clearly as a little girl, why can't you accompany her in for a while, and introduce them one by one according to the deed."

The steward shook his head resolutely, "The deed of this house has been handed over, and I have also collected the money. I don't care about other things."

Looking at it like this, I absolutely refuse to go in.

Uncle Qiu felt that this was too much, "Miss An is young, if you don't accompany her to look at the house, what if something happens inside?"

The steward said impatiently: "This house is already hers, if something happens, will someone else be responsible if something happens in your own house?"

"You!..." Uncle Qiu was impatient, but he also knew that it would be useless to talk too much, so he turned to An Qingyu and said, "Miss An, I will accompany you in to have a look. There are six rooms on the deed, and how much land is there? The furniture and objects, all of these must be checked one by one, and if there is any inconsistency, there will be an explanation."

The steward was eager to let Uncle Qiu accompany An Qingyu in. Hearing Uncle Qiu's words, he immediately urged: "Go in, go in! I'll wait for you in the carriage!"

After speaking, he walked in the direction of the carriage.

Uncle Qiu gave him a hard look behind him.

An Qingyu rolled her eyes, smiled at Uncle Qiu, "Uncle, you don't need to go in, I want to go in and see for myself."

Uncle Qiu's face changed slightly, and he waved his hands nervously, "Miss An, let me accompany you in, if anything happens, I'll take care of you."

An Qingyu was very moved in her heart, looking at Uncle Qiu's appearance, he was obviously very scared, but he insisted on going in with her, he is really a good man.

However, she really wanted to look at the house by herself, and if something happened, it would be very inconvenient for her to cope with Uncle Qiu next to her.

Therefore, I once again dissuaded Uncle Qiu: "Don't worry, uncle. Even evil spirits dare not come out when the sky is bright and bright. Besides, I will move in sooner or later. At that time, will Uncle Qiu want to move with me?" go in?"

Uncle Qiu was choked, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh repeatedly, "Well, go in by yourself, and if there is anything wrong, call me quickly."

An Qingyu nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll be out soon after finishing the house."

After saying that, An Qingyu happily walked into the courtyard gate——

As soon as he entered the courtyard, a wave of ashes and despondency came to his face.

It's really unusual...

An Qingyu simply walked around the house along the courtyard wall.

The house is very large. It is better to say that it is a Zhuangzi than a house.

Of course, it is definitely not as magnificent as the original Yunshui Villa, but judging from the layout of the house and the design of the garden, this should be a villa built for relaxation and vacation.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, you will see the front yard, which is connected with a large front hall and two side halls, a total of three rooms, which are typically used for meeting guests and discussing matters.Behind the three houses is another simple flower garden, which is naturally full of withered yellow weeds now.There are three houses standing behind the flower garden, each house has three rooms, plus three small side rooms, making a total of twelve rooms together.A long corridor was built behind the twelve rooms, leading directly to the lotus pond in the backyard.There is also a large kitchen in the backyard, but apparently this kitchen is not included in the deed.

Regardless of whether it is the three rooms in front or the three rooms in the back, there are furniture displayed inside, but there is a thick layer of dust on the furniture. I am afraid that no one has cleaned it for several years.

After seeing the whole house, An Qingyu was very satisfied.

Although it does feel that there are some unclean things here, but if the house is properly repaired, it should be able to fully meet the needs of refining medicine.

Seeing An Qingyu leave the courtyard, Uncle Qiu who was waiting outside heaved a sigh of relief.

"How is it inside? Is the house still inhabitable?"

"It does look dilapidated, and it must have been neglected for years, and I don't know if it will leak when it rains, but it's very big inside, and there's a lotus pond attached to it, so I've taken advantage of it. "

This matter is absolutely impossible in modern times. Who buys a house with a lotus pond as a gift?

As for the haunting, An Qingyu ignored it in a good mood.

The two returned to the carriage, went to the yamen with the steward to apply for an official lease, and the matter of buying the house was considered settled.

An Qingyu gave Uncle Qiu a big red envelope, and went back to the inn happily.

Fat Ball is gnawing carrots in the room, he has recently erupted his front teeth, his mouth is itchy and panicked, and he always wants to eat something.

An Qingyu opened the door and gave Fat Qiu'er a friendly smile.

Fat Ball trembled all over!
"What are you doing..."

An Qingyu closed the door, took a carrot from the table and handed it to Fat Ball.

"Eat more, eat more, so as not to be hungry at night."

Fat Ball took the carrot and looked at An Qingyu warily. "It doesn't matter, if I get hungry at night, I can go to the inn kitchen to find something to eat."

There was a soft smile on An Qingyu's face, "I have already bought a house outside the city, so you can move in tonight."

Fat Ball's movements stopped immediately.

He looked at An Qingyu carefully, no matter how he looked at him, he felt that she was uneasy and kind.

"Boss, didn't you say...that house is haunted..."

An Qingyu chuckled, "Do you believe this kind of thing? Besides, you're a mouse, and ghosts won't bother you."

"Oh... then... Boss, why don't you go?"

An Qingyu nodded bluntly, "Yeah! I'm going to wait for the furniture to be delivered before I move in, and I have to wait for you to clean up the yard and house before moving in."

The corners of Fat Ball's eyes twitched, "Boss, can I clean the whole house by myself?"

An Qingyu nodded as a matter of course, "The place is quite big and there are many rooms, you should clean up all the old furniture inside first, this will make it easier for the person who delivered the furniture to carry the new furniture in. For the rest, we will do it later." Clean slowly."

Fat Qiu'er gritted his teeth and said slowly: "Boss...you have found so much gold from Qin Lao San, you can hire someone to clean the house for just a few dollars!"

An Qingyu replied with a smile: "Isn't there a rumor about being haunted? No one would go there. What's more, if I go, if I scare people, I may have to pay for it."

"Really... there are ghosts?..."

An Qingyu continued to laugh: "You go, don't you know?"

Fat Ball's eyeballs rolled around.

An Qingyu picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a glass of water, and said casually, "Don't think that you can get over it just by finding a place to sleep tonight. If the room is not cleared tomorrow morning, I will put you The body hair is clean shaved."

Fat Ball trembled, "Boss, isn't this bad? It's going to be winter soon..."

An Qingyu drank a glass of water, looked at Fat Ball with innocent eyes, "Then go early, otherwise I'm really worried that you won't be able to finish moving."

Fat Ball endured and endured, thinking, since he was destined to be tortured, it would be better to be tortured with value than to be tortured for free.

"Boss! If I move all the furniture out of the house tonight, what's the reward?"

Without waiting for An Qingyu to think, Fat Ball hurriedly said: "You can't treat me like this forever! I'm also a monster! You can't send me carrots forever!!!"

An Qingyu was taken aback.

carrot?
……

…………

………………

……carrot?

Is this important?

Seeing that An Qingyu didn't make a sound, Fat Qiu'er urgently emphasized: "Boss! Ever since I followed you, I have never eaten bamboo shoots again! Not even once!!!"

An Qingyu's expression gradually became serious.

Fat Qiu'er is very pleased, the boss is finally going to face up to this problem!

"Fat Qiuer, as far as I know, there should be no bamboo shoots in this season."

"........."
