Chapter 50 The Haunted Bookstore

"Find an inn to stay first, and let's talk about what happens next!"

Ye Qing muttered.

"Haha, that's good. When Wu Huan settles down, send someone to the county government office to inform me. When you have free time, I'll invite you to have a drink with Wu Huan to thank you for helping me." Yan Yufei smiled.

, it’s not that he is evasive, it’s just that he has just taken over the post of Anyang County Magistrate and has a lot of things to do, so he has no time for the time being. He can only wait until he is free to thank the other party properly and make friends.

Ye Qing understood: "You're welcome, sir. When you are free, I will definitely go get a drink!"

"Haha, it's settled then!" Yan Yufei laughed heartily, then cupped his hands: "Then let's say goodbye first!"

"Excuse me, sir!" Ye Qing also bowed his hands and said goodbye to Yan Yufei, Yan Feng, Yang Guan and others one by one, then looked at Kung Fu Frog and said: "There are only two of us left, let's find a place to settle down first.

!”

"Quak quack..." Kung Fu Frog chirped twice in response.

Next, one person and one frog walked along the street, looking for a place to eat and stay.

However, every time he went to an inn, the owner of the inn saw that he was bringing a monster. Although the monster did not look dangerous, they all rejected it. The reasons were mostly the same, saying that the monster would scare the guests and affect them.

Inn business, etc.

So, after walking around most of Anyang City, I couldn't find a place to stay!

"Oh, it's troublesome!" Ye Qing and Kung Fu Frog squatted under a stone bridge, looking at the clear river water, saying helplessly.

Although many people in the city have monsters and other pets, ordinary people are still afraid of monsters, so he can understand the innkeeper's thoughts, but in the end, he is the one who suffers!

Could it be that he, a powerful person in the Pulse Extension Realm, was going to live on the street?

Unacceptable, really unacceptable!

"How about we just buy a shop or a house?" Suddenly, Ye Qing's eyes lit up. Among the mountain and river shells he seized from Xiang Ye and Zheng Tianyuan, there was a lot of snowflake silver, especially Xiang Ye's mountain and river shells.

Among them, there was a large amount of snowflake silver, which may be his life savings; and Zheng Tianyuan, as a second-generation rich man, also had a lot of snowflake silver in his hands, which finally gave him an advantage, so he was really not short of money.

"Quack..." Kung Fu Frog nodded.

"Okay, let's do it!" Just do it. If you want to buy a house, find a dental firm. The so-called dental firm is equivalent to an intermediary in another world, a firm that accepts entrustments, introduces transactions, and extracts commissions from it.

After looking for a passerby and asking for the address, Ye Qing went directly to a business called Yijun Dental Store. As soon as he entered the door, someone greeted him.

"Welcome our customers. Whether you want to buy something, send something, or sell something, our Yijun Dental Shop has corresponding services. It is cheap and affordable, and you are guaranteed to be satisfied!"

"This is advertising!" Ye Qing said directly to the articulate dental shop clerk: "You can also buy a house or a shop that sells it cheaply!"

Hearing this, the guy's eyes lit up. Buying a house is a big business. If the deal is completed, he will definitely earn a lot of commission from it. The smile on his face suddenly became brighter: "I don't know what you want, sir."

Are there any specific requirements for what kind of house or shop to buy?”

After thinking about it, Ye Qing said: "It's quieter, the environment is better, and the price is moderate!"

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment!" The waiter poured Ye Qing a cup of tea, then he quickly opened a book and carefully selected it.

"Sir, I did some searching, and there are currently two houses and one shop that suit your requirements!" As he said that, the clerk gave Ye Qing a detailed description of the two houses and the shop.

After listening, Ye Qing frowned and hesitated. To be honest, he was not very satisfied with these three houses for sale.

There are two houses for sale, one is Sijin Mansion. The original owner is a down-and-out scholar who has to go to Beijing to take the exam, so he wants to sell his ancestral house in exchange for the money needed to go to Beijing. However, the house is in disrepair and dilapidated.

Not satisfactory; the other is a mansion of a wealthy family, which is lavish, gorgeous and exquisite. Because the owner of the mansion is going to do business elsewhere, he wants to sell the house here.

The house was a good house, and other conditions met Ye Qing's requirements, but it was too big. Because it was big, it was expensive, and because it was expensive, it couldn't be bought.

Moreover, it would be such a waste if he only lived in such a big house!

As for the remaining shop, let’s not mention it. It is a shop that sells pork. Why did he buy it? Kill the pig or sell the dog meat with a sheep’s head!

In addition, his temperament and appearance are not consistent with someone who kills pigs and dogs!

Skip it! Negative review!

"Are there any other houses or shops?" Ye Qing asked.

The clerk looked confused: "There are only these three houses or shops currently for sale, the others..."

Suddenly, the clerk's eyes lit up, as if he remembered something, and said: "There is also a bookstore for sale. The environment is beautiful and the price is not expensive, but..."

"It's just nothing, don't hesitate, just say what you have to say!" Ye Qing took a sip of tea.

The waiter said: "I just heard that this bookstore is not very clean and is haunted. It is said that every night, the sound of Lang Lang's reading can be heard in the bookstore. The sound is louder and quieter, happy and sad at times. However, once someone comes in, the sound of reading is heard.

The sound will stop immediately, and nothing will happen, it’s very strange!”

"After several times, everyone was in panic. The guys walked away and scattered, and finally only the owner of the bookstore was left. This bookstore has been passed down for at least several decades and has a great reputation in Anyang County.

Although the owner of the bookstore was reluctant to part with it, after what happened, and because he was old and frail, and had no children, he was unable to run the bookstore, so he had no choice but to sell it, including all the books and orphans in it."

"It's just that the bookstore is haunted and there are a lot of rumors, so the bookstore has never been sold. Even though the price has dropped again and again, no one is interested. To be honest, if it weren't for the sound of reading in the bookstore, there has been no sound.

Even if a human life is involved, we at Yachang will not accept this order."

"The book store is haunted?" Hearing this, Ye Qing became interested. Others are afraid of haunted things, but he is not afraid: "What is the name of this book store? Where is it? How much does it cost?"

"The name of this bookstore is Wuya Bookstore, which means the boundless sea of ​​learning. It is located at the junction of Anyang Street and Yuhua Lane, and the geographical location is very advantageous. The price is very cheap, only one hundred taels of snowflake silver, which is very good in Anyang.

This location on the street and Yuhua Lane is definitely a great value for money.”

The waiter praised Wuya Bookstore habitually, but remembered the strange events and shut his mouth again.

I guess no one would be interested in an unclean place.

"Very good, I bought it!" Ye Qing said grandly.

"Ah... Sir, are you really planning to buy Wuya Book Store?" the clerk said with wide eyes in disbelief.

Ye Qing nodded: "I heard you say it's so good, wouldn't I be a fool if I didn't buy it?"

The guy was a little confused. He had recommended it like this before, and no one else was interested. Are they stupid, or are you short-sighted?

Of course, he only thought about this and naturally did not dare to say it.

"But sir, it's not very clean there!" the waiter reminded me kindly.

Hearing this, Ye Qing smiled softly: "If it's not clean, just clean it and it will be clean, right?"

"Hurry up and complete the procedures for me, otherwise, I will regret it!"

"Ah... good!" The clerk nodded repeatedly and happily helped Ye Qing complete all the procedures. He personally led Ye Qing to visit the original owner of Wuya Bookstore. After Ye Qing paid all the fees in one go, the latter

He also handed over the keys, land deeds and other items to Ye Qing, signed an agreement and completed the sale.

"From now on, this will be our territory!" Standing in front of an antique wooden library, Ye Qing's eyes were filled with joy and his expression was excited.

Wuya Book Store is a three-story building with flying arches at the corners and hanging copper bells. It looks antique and full of charm.

Opening the door and walking in, what you see is a neat and clean lobby with various tables and chairs neatly placed. The lobby is against the wall and is filled with bookshelves in a ring. Various books are placed on the bookshelves.

, so densely packed that I can’t read thousands of them at first glance.

The tables and chairs placed in the lobby are obviously prepared for guests. People who buy books are allowed to browse here, and people who don't buy books can also read here. It is very user-friendly.

Following the stairs to the second floor, there are smaller rooms. Various unique and rare books are placed in the rooms according to categories. They are some relatively rare or valuable books. In addition, there are several

This elegantly decorated elegant room is prepared for some distinguished people.

The third floor is a dormitory for rest. The innermost is the bedroom, the outer is the tea room for receiving distinguished guests, and the left and right sides are the study room and the kitchen. All kinds of furniture and items are all available, which saves him a lot of trouble.

"Great place, great value for money!" Let's not talk about the location. The layout of the bookstore and the various books inside are definitely worth more than one hundred taels of snowflakes. No wonder the original owner of the bookstore said when the title deed was handed over.

A look of reluctance.

After briefly tidying up the bedroom, and then wiping away the dust everywhere downstairs, Ye Qing looked at the brand new bookstore and smiled lightly.

"It's done, now it's the turn of the ghost who likes to read!"

He wanted to see where that kid who loved reading came from?



Night, windless and moonless.

When the gong rang three times and the watch went round three times, the sound of reading suddenly came from the dark and silent Wuya Bookstore.

The sound of reading is clear and sweet, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, with ups and downs, just like a Confucian saint reciting sages' articles, with an inexplicable rhythm and beauty.
Chapter completed!
