A peasant girl

Chapter 21
"Don't be afraid, there are so many of us, not to mention there are no ghosts in this world."

Hearing what An Hao said, An Erya felt a little more at ease, but she was still a little shocked.

Weeds were overgrown around the house, the steps in front of the door were already covered with moss, the wooden gate had long since disappeared, and all that could be seen was spider webs in disorder.There are many trees growing around the house, and the whole house is full of eerie feeling.

Not only An Erya was afraid, but An Sanya and Su's were too.

"Big ya, I'm afraid people can't live here, why don't you go back and live. I'll talk to mom and dad."

An Dajiang also came here many years ago, seeing such a dilapidated house now, he couldn't help worrying about them.

"Second Uncle, since we have separated, there is no possibility of going back. It will be fine after cleaning up."

Seeing that Anhao was so persistent, An Dajiang pursed his lips and stopped talking. While the sky was still visible, he picked up a branch on one side to clean the cobwebs, and then entered the room first.

The house is very large, divided into two courtyards.The front yard appears to have two levels.

Entering the door is a garden, but it has already been overgrown with weeds.Those precious flowers and plants in the past had long been burned under the fire at that time.

Walking through the garden, in front of them was a man-made pool. The water in it was colorless and had a foul smell.Seeing that Su Shi immediately vomited it out.

"Mother, are you okay? If you feel uncomfortable, go out and wait for us. You can come in after we pack up."

An looked at Mrs. Su and said worriedly, this house is indeed bad enough.

"Da Ya, do we really want to live here?"

Su's heart was still a little terrified, after all, several people had died in this place, and it had been abandoned for so long, could people still live there.

Anhao didn't speak, but just nodded.

In the end, Mrs. Su still didn't go out, and continued to walk behind them.

After walking across the bridge over the pool, a bluestone-paved corridor appeared in front of them. The wooden frame built above the corridor was already crooked, and the lanterns on it had already been burned out.

Was the fire really just an accident?

"After the second young master of the Zhou family left, the old housekeeper took over the house and lived in the first room in the front yard. It was also the night when the second young master of the Zhou family left that a fire broke out in the old house, and the old housekeeper died. It was in that fire. Later, the village called the officials and said that the old housekeeper accidentally knocked down the candle, and burned himself alive."

"Second Uncle, didn't there be people living in the west of the village at that time? The fire burned for a whole night, how could no one notice it?"

Hearing An Hao's question, An Dajiang frowned, which was the strange thing at that time.

"That night, everyone seemed to be sleeping soundly. When the people in the west of the village woke up the next day, they found the Zhou Mansion still smoking, and immediately started shouting in the village."

With that said, they had come to the front yard.

The front yard was the starting point of the fire. It was burned everywhere, and the doors and windows were burned clean.The upper level is also a piece of wreckage.

"A lot of things are heard from them. At that time, I was still working as a second child in the town."

The Su family also knew about this. Coincidentally, she was not in the village at that time.After the accident, the family didn't allow them to come and see it, so this was the first time she saw Zhou's mansion after it was burned down by fire. Hearing what An Dajiang said, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

There are six rooms above and below the front yard, and the grandeur of the past has long since disappeared. The yard is full of debris that flew out after burning. Due to the long time, the ground has been covered with layers of leaves, and the air is filled with Corroded smell.

When I walked in, I saw that the house was in a mess, and the beams also collapsed a lot.

"Big ya, how can people live in this place?"

Seeing this, An Erya and An Sanya were also shocked, they had never seen such a scene before.

This is indeed a bit difficult to live in.

If they were living here, and the beams collapsed, wouldn't they all be buried in it.

"Second Uncle, let's go to another yard to have a look."

After thinking about it, An Hao decided to look at the backyard again, and if it didn't work, he went to the town to rent a house first.

After passing through the round arch, they came to the backyard, seeing the appearance of the backyard, An Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.The yard is not that dilapidated.

The six rooms are next to each other, perhaps because of the partition wall, the fire here is not so severe, the doors and windows only need to be repaired.The kitchen is directly in front of the six rooms, and the hut and bathroom are on the right.

After wandering around, Anhao decided that they would live here.

Since I had just lived here, it was getting dark again.They were more or less afraid in their hearts, but fortunately An Dajiang brought lamp oil over, and it was a lot better to have lights illuminating the room.

Seeing how big the room was, Anhao called An Dajiang after thinking about it, and moved the beds from the two rooms into one room, so let them live in one room for now.And she naturally planned to live in a room by herself, so she simply brought a bed from another room.

After finishing these, An Erya and the others started cleaning again.

After tidying up, two rooms were cleaned, and all of them were replaced with clean straw brought by An Dajiang.Then they put on the sheets that were washed whitish but clean and smelled like soap locust. The quilt was bought when An Dahai was here.

Seeing that they were still cleaning, An Hao left the room and walked around the kitchen, which is quite big.After all this time, there is nothing left in this kitchen but a few cobwebs.There is very little dust, but it is quite clean, and the pot has not rusted after ten years, which is really strange.

"I happen to have a pot here, you can use it first. In addition, I brought you two wooden basins and two barrels. Tell me what is missing, and I will bring it to you tomorrow because I have to go back to the village tomorrow. .In addition, I brought some food for you, and I will make it tonight. This is Qian Daya, you keep it, come to me if you have anything to do, the second uncle doesn't have much money, that's all he can help you with. "

An Dajiang looked at the sky, and took out a bag of money from his sleeve. It seemed that there were several hundred coins.

"Second uncle, I can't take this money. It's not easy for you, not to mention that today we got five taels of silver after we separated."
