Chapter 112 Is there really a ghost in Minglu?
There is a pool next to the garden, and there is a huge stone in the middle of the pool, with two words engraved on it, "Minglu".
Li Jun introduced to Chen Xia and the other two as he walked:
"This Minglu villa is not simple. It was built in 1934. At that time, the architect built a three-story and three-bedroom building with an area of 1.3 mu, a building area of 508 square meters, and a total of 16 rooms. The building uses a mixed structure of brick, stone and wood, and the exterior walls are made of cement. The doors and windows are made of steel structures, the floors are made of pine wood, and the architectural style is pure Western."
Chen Xia looked at the beige exterior villa in front of her. The shape was typical of the Republic of China style, which made people feel historical at first glance, and she was very satisfied.
Oh my God, this house is just a few hundred million in 2020 and can’t be bought at all.
At this time, everyone had already walked to the gate of the villa. Li Jun took out another key and pushed the door in. The living room was empty and because it was uninhabited for a long time, it smelled moldy.
This is a very common thing in the Jiangnan water town, and Chen Xia did not make any fuss.
But Xu Yuan fell in love with it as soon as she entered the living room, "Wow, this living room is so big, and you can hold a dance party."
Li Jun said with a smile: "Student Xu has a good vision. This living room was indeed often held dance parties during the Republic of China. The first owner of this house was Ma Wencong, chairman of the GS Provincial Government of the Republic of China, Jin Runquan, the second famous financier of the People's Republic of China, and the president of the Lin'an Branch of China G Bank. These were all famous gentry in Lin'an City back then, and their status was extraordinary."
"Then Section Chief Li, why did the house be vacant later?" Chen Xia asked.
"We were not free at the beginning. After liberation, some retired leaders lived here, but the old leaders disliked the heavy humidity here and refused to live there. Then the house became empty. We felt a pity at the beginning and wanted to treat it as a dormitory area of the provincial government office, but the result..."
Li Jun stopped when he said this, as if he had remembered something terrible.
Fang Rui and Fang Yuan's ears were both raised, but Chen Xia didn't care. What else could it be? There must be some scary supernatural incident.
"As a result, a young man from the organs moved in, and found that he often made some strange noises at night, especially on the wooden floor, you could clearly hear something running around, and then the door would often be opened for no reason in the middle of the night. Later, no one dared to live there, and the house was completely empty."
After hearing this, Xu Rui and Xu Yuan suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and a piece of chicken skin immediately appeared on their bodies, and their expressions were a little scared.
In fact, it was not only the Xu brothers and sisters who were scared, but Li Jun himself was unwilling to come to such a gloomy old villa. Usually, the logistics staff of the Bureau of Affairs never came here to clean, and everyone was afraid of those rumors.
Chen Xia didn't care and asked Li Jun: "Secretary Li, can I go upstairs and take a look?"
"Yes, but this, haha, go up by yourself, we'll wait for you downstairs."
Li Jun smiled awkwardly, looking rather embarrassed.
Chen Xia was about to go upstairs, but Xu Yuan didn't know where the courage came from and shouted to him: "Wait, I'll go up with you."
Xu Rui made a thumbs up at her sister, "I want to get on you, I'll wait for you downstairs."
"Coward, hey~~~~~"
Xu Yuan grimaced at her brother and followed Chen Xia upstairs.
After entering the villa, Xu Yuan kept pulling Chen Xia's clothes carefully.
It is impossible for a little girl to be afraid of ghosts, but curiosity makes her want to see what special about this old villa, which makes Chen Xia so eager to buy it.
After reaching the second floor, there is another small living room in the stairwell, and the living room is a large balcony. When Chen Xia and Xu Yuan pushed open the door and walked to the balcony, the entire West Lake seemed to be under their noses.
Especially the warm sunshine, it is quiet and peaceful.
The West Lake in the distance, the trees nearby, the Beishan Road in the middle, and the tourists coming and going, are as beautiful as paintings.
"Wow, Chen Xia, it really faces West Lake. The spring is warm and the scenery is so beautiful. Just like John Constable's oil paintings, I have an impulse to draw these beautiful scenery immediately."
Xu Yuan was suddenly excited, and artistic inspiration suddenly appeared.
"How is it? I believe my vision now?" Chen Xia smiled proudly, then turned to check the room facilities.
The master bedroom is on the second floor, and the bedroom window can just see the entire West Lake. The bedroom has a large area, at least about 50 square meters, and there are inner bathrooms and cloakrooms that are very rare in this era.
Chen Xia and Xu Yuan looked at each room by room. Not to mention opening a party here, it would be fine to open a hotel.
Xu Yuan nodded in agreement. If you bought this place, how could you live in so many rooms?
"If you can't live, just have a few more babies. Then each person will be in one room. By the way, how many children are you going to have in the future?"
"Bah, bad guy, let's go, let's go to the third floor to have a look."
Minglu Villa has three floors above ground and one underground floor. The underground floor is semi-underground, with utility room, servant room, laundry room, etc.
The first floor is the living room, kitchen and dining room; the second floor is the master bedroom, a small living room, a study room, and a bathroom alone; the third floor is mainly guest rooms
The windows on the third floor were all pulled up with curtains, so the light was insufficient and it looked particularly gloomy, which made Fang Yuan, who was a little suspicious, start to feel a little nervous and involuntarily held Chen Xia's hand.
Chen Xia felt a warm little hand crawling into his palm, and looked back at Xu Yuan in surprise.
But when he saw her nervous and looked at the room next to him with a shy face, he couldn't help but feel a little funny, so he took her hand openly and walked forward together.
Joke, will Chen Xia be shy when holding hands? Help, he is an old driver, let alone holding hands, what has he seen in the "rich man" in his previous life? What has he never encountered?
Everything is a cloud.
Chen Xia, who was like a floating cloud, led Miss Xu to study the uses of several rooms on the third floor. Suddenly, the door of the room at the end of the corridor slowly opened itself.
When Xu Yuan saw it, she was so scared that she couldn't even speak when she thought of Section Chief Li's words just now. She hugged Chen Xia hard and closed her eyes, as if only in this way could she not be afraid.
Chen Xia was nervous as soon as he saw it, thinking that there was such a bad thing in broad daylight? But he was not afraid. Anyway, he had never done anything bad, and he was not afraid of encountering it.
Just as they were thinking about it, a squirrel suddenly emerged from the crack of the door. When they saw someone in the corridor, they squeaked twice and ran to the room quickly.
I heard a slight thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud
