Chapter 20 Idea (Thanks to the genius Bob’s Alliance Lord for the reward)

“.” Wei He understands . These old men, Great Chief, seem to be the real greatest wealth of the Escort.

He thought about it for a while, and then secretly wrote down the location of the bridgehead that he passed by this trip.

Cheng Jing on the side spoke again.

“That night, I was just habitually irritating people, don’t mind.”

“It’s fine.” Wei He was a little confused about whether the woman was acting at the time , is still acting.

Does her words sound like some true, some false, or a mixture of true and false?

But in a blink of an eye, he saw Cheng Kai not far away, looking this way.

There are also some guesses in my mind. I think Great Chief Cheng Kai is helping to resolve the conflict.

Cheng Jing’s tone seems to be sincere.

Cheng Jing said a few more words, then got up and left.

Wei He picked up the dry biscuit, and the small pieces were filled with water, stuffed into his mouth, and occasionally mixed with a piece of snake meat, but he stopped making a sound.

This way, we soon re-entered the ten-mile range of Feiye City.

The number of bullock carts and horses on the road gradually increased. Everyone’s mood has also relaxed a lot, at least not as depressed as before.

Soon, the team entered the city and returned to the escort bureau. After handing over the records in front of the gate of the Perpetual Peace Escort Office, a special person from the escort bureau came out to verify the wages of individuals on the way.

According to the rules, everyone has to pay a little extra if they encounter danger and die on the road.

It’s just that the amount of money is too heavy, and many people choose to replace it with meat sticks.

A piece of smoked and dried bacon strips can be worth a lot of money. There are also people who have changed the cloth. Various colors of cloth and more expensive silk cloth are now hard currency.

Wei He hesitated for a while, and also replaced most of the silver money with meat, rice, and cloth, and carried it home in a large bag.

Now this silver is becoming more and more worthless, and I really don’t know when it will collapse completely. It is better to hoard more food and exchange it as hard currency.

When he got home and put things away, he looked at the shabby house, and felt more and more that he should live in another place.

From home to the Stone Bridge area where Turning Mountain Fist is located, there are many gray areas in the middle, which is a hassle.

Now there is so much food in the house, no one is watching, maybe someone will touch it one day.

Sit on the only wooden bench in the house.

Wei He let his body shine in the sunlight coming in from the window to warm him up.

He recalled what he had seen on this trip.

I simply took out a stack of yellow paper and a few other charcoal pens from under the table.

Spread the rough yellow paper on the table and pick up the charcoal.

He used the gesture of holding a pen in his previous life and quickly began to write and draw on paper.

In a short while, the places, routes, surrounding terrain, place names, customs and customs along the way. Where can I live, where can I rest.

He probably recorded it all.

And then at the bridgehead room, he made a circle to signal danger.

And the monster

Wei He took out another piece of paper and recorded the characteristics of the monster. He can’t draw, but he can record salient features, characteristics, attacks, etc.

After finishing some work, Wei He put away the yellow paper, washed up, and lay down on the bed to rest.

It’s just that the mattress on the bed smells of sweat and an unknown smell, making it difficult for him to fall asleep.

The skin that touches the bedding also seems to be itchy.

“It seems that the quilt hasn’t been washed or dried for months,” Wei He recalled.

He remembered that he told the second sister a while ago not to go back to this house, it was not safe.

And it seems that since then, the house has become more and more sloppy.

Suddenly he felt an itch on his thigh.

Wei He was startled, he quickly opened the quilt, and there was a black cockroach lying on his lap.

The cockroach swayed its tentacles and was frightened. It crawled down the thighs with a swish, and was about to drill down the bed toward the gap against the wall.

Wei He’s instinctive conditioned reflex, stepped on it with one foot.

Crack.

It was then that he remembered that he was barefoot.

A strange feeling of stickiness, mixed with a hard shell, spread from the soles of the feet to the whole body.

After a while, he got up quickly and went out to wash the soles of his feet vigorously with the water in the water tank.

After tossing for a while, he returned to the house exhausted. This time, he didn’t want to lie on the bed again. There was also a yellow stain on the bed.

He packed up, simply picked up the things, and went to the second sister.

Put things in Wei Ying first, then go to Turning Mountain Fist Courtyard to sleep!

He decided to buy a house this time, let himself and his second sister move in, and open a bun shop!

Stone Bridge area.

Near the Feiye River, a series of houses are empty and deserted.

A yawning old fogey walked to the door of a house and opened the three large locks hanging on the door with the key in his hand.

The old man was dressed in a long gray coat, carrying a lantern with an unlit pole on his back, and a large string of keys of various kinds pinned to his waist.

“This house also meets your requirements. It’s called Shanju. It used to be a rich businessman’s residence, but then the rich businessman went to another place and moved his family, so he left this house and sold it to us. .”

“What’s the price?” Behind the old man was a tall and strong young man, dressed in gray and white sturdy clothing, highlighting his strong and well-proportioned streamlined muscles.

The young man has bright eyes and a calm temperament. He is Wei He who just put things away from the second sister.

He didn’t stop, and immediately found a toothbrush in the city that specializes in buying and selling houses.

Then someone will take him to see the house right now.

The tooth man asked roughly the type of house he wanted to buy, and then asked about the price he could afford.

I found an old fogey, led the way, and showed him the house.

The black lacquered door creaked open.

Inside is the cobblestone road, which is the tread path for entering and exiting the door.

Go through the gate and a small gatehouse, and inside is a white-walled courtyard.

The courtyard is small but tastefully furnished.

There is a small pond on the left with a timer for bamboo water droplets. A few fallen leaves were floating on the pond, and there were small insects crawling slowly on the leaves.

On the right is an old tree that can’t tell what kind of it is.

The canopy of this old tree is scattered and sheds a lot of shade. A thick black clothesline was also tied to the top of the tree trunk and fence.

“The owner of this house used to like to imitate calligraphy and painting, and often invited friends to come here to enjoy tea and appreciate paintings.

When I came here before, there were a lot of paintings hanging on the rope. Silk.”

The old man hunched his back, walked slowly to the door of the main house, and pushed open the door.

A piece of white ash slowly scattered inside.

“This is the main house, for meeting guests. There are four wing rooms on both sides, which can be used as servant rooms, guest rooms, and bedrooms, depending on how you change them.

In addition, there is a thatched hut and a kitchen at the back. There is also a small vegetable plot. The Feiye River is on the left, so don’t worry about the water source.”

The old man took Wei He to walk around the whole house carefully.

This is the fourth house they’ve seen.

The location is also in the Stone Bridge area, only one street away from Turning Mountain Fist.

Wei He turned around and came to the left side of the house.

In addition to the fence on the left, there is also a small side door, and outside the door is a path leading directly to the Feiye River.

Pushing the door open, the door is very close to the river, only a few meters. Standing here, you can hear the sound of hua hua running water constantly.

“This is the riverside in the past, where you can fish and fetch water, which is very convenient. In addition, you can see some views of the inner city on the edge of this Shanju.”

old fogey pointed in one direction.

“Well, do you see that over there? That pavilion is part of a mansion residence in the inner city. Living here, you can often hear the sound of the piano wafting over there, so you can save money. Listening to the song, is it worth it?”

He grinned and showed a big yellow tooth said with a smile.

Wei He looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, in the far left, there was a small pavilion by the river, which was part of a large mansion residence.

The mansion residence has red paint and white walls, and there are horned beasts vaguely seen on the eaves, obviously it is not an ordinary family.

As Wei He looked over, he saw two white skirt women in the distance, wearing veils, one holding the piano and the other empty-handed, moved towards the small pavilion.

Both of them came out of the mansion residence, although there were stakes and fences on the river around the pavilion, and they were not allowed to approach.

But the fence alone can’t block the view from afar.

But soon, after the two women entered the pavilion, they covered all four sides with some white curtains, blocking the sight of the surrounding.

“You see, there are often a lot of good views living here.” Tooth old man said wretchedly with a smile.

“Before this time, there were still people who painted small paintings who stayed in the vicinity, just to see the beauty.”

His face showed that all men understood. expression.

Little Paintings

Wei He has also heard of this thing. In other words, it is the little yellow book of this era.

It’s still a picture version.

“Okay, I’m very satisfied with this house, how do I sell it?” Wei He made a decision at the moment.

This place has convenient access to water, easy to wash clothes and cook, and also has four wing rooms, which are enough for guests to live in. Good in every way.

“The price is cheap, as long as it is so much.” The old man stretched out a hand and compared the number.

“5,000 taels?”

Wei He made up his mind.

“Can I pay in installments?” He doesn’t have that much money now.

“What 5,000 taels, rice! Fifty catties of brown rice, fifteen pieces of smoked pork!” the old man said quickly.

Wei He was slightly stunned.

No money? ? . But when I think of the large vacant houses around, no one lives there, and recently, many familiar shops are slowly disappearing and closing.

He suddenly had some understanding in his heart.

“That’s the price, I’ll tell you, this house is the most suitable for you. No matter how expensive it is, you should go to the desolate waterside pavilion on one side, that is, jump to a big house with another price. You don’t like cheap ones.”

old man persuaded, in fact, he also knew very well that most of these houses were worthless. Because there are too many.

And with the current situation, the number of people is decreasing, and the vacancies are everywhere.

The next generation in front of me has bought a house, and maybe it won’t be long before someone else will have to live there again. Just sell the price, after all, the recent plague

old man sighed in his heart and said no more.

Wei He thought about it.

Thinking about the dartboard supplies that I just received, plus some of the income I had accumulated before, together, it was enough to pay for the house.

“Okay, that’s it.” He made the decision immediately and bought it.

After making the decision, he followed the old man to the Yaxing, took over the handover, and then brought supplies from the second sister to pay the price.

It was almost dark, and I finished one after another.

The next step is to inform the second sister to come and live together. Also, ask someone to help with cleaning. Wei He calculated his salary and income. He is an escort, but what he receives is not the salary of an ordinary escort, but the level of chief. That is the same treatment as Cheng Jing.

It is estimated that this is the main point of Cheng Jing’s dislike of him before.
