Chapter 52 House
The shopkeeper of Yahang is a lean, middle-aged man in his forties with a short beard and gray beard.
Although his appearance is a bit ugly, people should not be judged by their appearance. Since Chen Yuan’s brother Chen Wenqing can bring Chen Yuan to him, it proves that the shopkeeper of the dental shop is a good person.
After asking Chen Yuan and Chen Wenqing about their needs for a house, the shopkeeper of Yahang thought for a while.
"Shopkeeper Chen, this little Daoist, according to your request, there are several houses and houses for rent not far from Lihua Lane in the west of the city."
Shopkeeper Road of Yahang.
"Then please take the shopkeeper to take us to see it."
Chen Wenqingdao.
The shopkeeper of Yahang took a look at the sky and saw that it was still some time before dark, so he agreed. Then he took the key and said hello to the guy looking after the shop, and then led Chen Yuan and the two to see the house.
The three of them went all the way to the west of the city. After showing Chen Yuan and the others a few houses, Chen Yuan found that either the house was too small or the layout was not good.
Chen Yuan is not afraid that the house will become old. To put it bluntly, the house is for people to live in and needs support from people.
If it has been unoccupied for a long time and has lost its popularity, it will definitely look dilapidated if you look at it again after a while, and may even become desolate and collapsed over time.
But if someone moves in, becomes popular, and does a little cleaning, it won't take long to make a very dilapidated house look brand new.
Soon, under the leadership of the shopkeeper of the Yahang shop, Chen Yuan fell in love with a house.
Although this house is dilapidated, it has an excellent layout and is located on the western edge of the city, making it extremely spacious.
However, when he heard that Chen Yuan had chosen this house, the shopkeeper of Yahang immediately looked embarrassed, as there seemed to be a hidden secret.
"Why, shopkeeper, you look so embarrassed, is there something wrong with this house?"
Chen Yuan asked curiously.
"Master Dao, you are the younger brother of Shopkeeper Chen. We are all our own people. I won't hide it from you. There are indeed some problems in this house."
The shopkeeper of Yahang finally gritted his teeth and told the truth.
"Could it be that it's haunted?"
Chen Yuan said in surprise.
"It's not that it's haunted, it's just that there's something...evil about this house."
The shopkeeper of Yahang didn't know how to describe it. After pondering for a moment, he only thought of describing it as evil.
"What kind of evil method?"
Chen Yuan said in surprise.
"Before, this house was not for rent, but was inhabited by people normally. However, the families living in this yard suffered inexplicable disasters. Some wives fell at home and were seriously injured, and some elderly people in the family were injured.
I was so frightened that I lost my mind. Later, this house changed its owners several times."
"In the end, it was abandoned and the owner of the house sold it to my dental shop at a very low price."
"I thought I had gotten a big deal. Even if I couldn't sell it, I could still make a fortune by renting it to others."
"Who would have known that the reputation of this house is already bad. In Pingliang County, let alone renting it out, it is impossible to sell it. So this house fell into my hands."
"By the way, everyone says there is a monster in this house."
The shopkeeper of Yahang explained with a bitter expression.
"Is there a monster in this house?"
Chen Yuan said in surprise.
He looked at the layout of the house in front of him and found that the yard was particularly large, more than twice the size of his brother Chen Wenqing's yard.
There is also a big pear tree in the northeast corner of the house, which is as thick as a pottery bowl. The tree is two feet high. The pear blossoms are white and spread all over the tree. A breeze blows, and the fragrance of pear blossoms is blown into the nose, which is very intoxicating.
A bamboo forest was planted in the northwest corner of the house, with about ten bamboo poles. The bamboo poles are as thick as a big and small thumb, and the leaves are green and grow very well. The variety seems to be Xiangfei Bamboo.
It's just that the yard has become deserted because it has been uninhabited for a long time, and is covered with knee-high weeds, especially Setaria and Imperata.
If this deserted and dilapidated yard could be cleaned up, it would be an excellent place to live.
Not talking about the inside of the house, just looking at the scene in the yard made Chen Yuan very fond of this house.
"Yes, someone has seen it and said it was an inch-tall little man. I don't know what it is."
The shopkeeper of Yahang looked very helpless.
"Shop manager, how much does it cost to rent this house for a month?"
Chen Yuan asked.
"Erlang, didn't you listen to the shopkeeper? There's something wrong with this house. No matter how much money it costs, it's not safe to live in. Let's change it to another house."
Seeing that Chen Yuan had the idea of renting this house, his brother Chen Wenqing quickly persuaded him.
"It doesn't matter, brother. As I said before, I have learned some skills over the years. I am not afraid of ordinary little monsters and ghosts."
Chen Yuan didn't care at all, he said calmly.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
After looking at Chen Yuan carefully, the shopkeeper of Yahang said with a respectful expression:
"It seems that shopkeeper Chen's younger brother returned after missing for several years. Not only did he join the Taoist sect, he also learned a lot of skills."
Then he said:
"Since Mr. Chen Xiaodao intends to rent this house, I will give this house to Mr. Chen Xiaodao for free. If Master Chen gets tired of living there, just give me a greeting."
p>
In fact, the shopkeeper of Yahang also has his own little thoughts.
This house is just sitting there, and I can't rent it out anyway.
It is better to let Chen Yuan live in it first. If Chen Yuan is a Taoist master with real ability and no strange things happen after living there for a period of time, it will prove that there is no problem with this house.
When the time comes, if he rents or even sells it, someone will definitely take over.
In this way, you can not only solve the problem of a house that is about to rot in your hands, but also make friends with an expert with real skills. Why not do this kind of thing?
If Chen Yuan was a Taoist priest who didn’t have much real talent and only talked nonsense...
"Of course, I have to make it clear in advance that many Buddhist and Taoist experts have cleaned up this house before, but it didn't have much effect at all."
"If Mr. Chen Xiaodao is willing to move in, any accidents that happen will have nothing to do with me or Yaxing."
The shopkeeper of Yahang reminded Chen Yuan to remove the relationship between Yahang and himself.

"Erlang..."
Hearing what the shopkeeper of the tooth shop said, Chen Wenqing became even more worried, and he wanted to persuade Chen Yuan again.
"Brother, you don't need to persuade me, I have already made up my mind."
Chen Yuan interrupted Chen Wenqing and said.
"Shopkeeper, I've rented this house."
Chen Yuan said to the tooth shop shopkeeper again.
"But you can't help but accept the rent money. Brother, please lend me three hundred dollars, and I will pay it back to you later."
Chen Yuan said to his brother Chen Wenqing.
"I'll rent this house for half a year and I'll give you three hundred bucks, no matter if it's enough or not, that's all."
Chen Yuan looked at the shopkeeper of Yahang again.
"No, no, Mr. Chen Xiaodao, shopkeeper Chen and I are considered good friends. Since you are his younger brother, I will let you live in this house for free for the first half of the year."
The shopkeeper of Yahang waved his hand and refused.
What he was thinking was that it would be fine if Chen Yuan could not deal with the evil things in this house. If Chen Yuan could really solve the problem, it would mean that Chen Yuan was a real master.
He didn't even have time to make friends with such an expert, so how could he accept his money?
Chen Yuan naturally refused, as he did not want to owe anyone a favor.
In his view, favor is cause and effect.
After several arguments, the shopkeeper of Yahang could only come up with a compromise plan:
"What do you think, Mr. Chen Xiaodao, if you can really live in this house, I will rent it to you for free for two years. If you renew the lease after two years, I will charge you the rent as usual.
How?"
The so-called leasing money is rent, which is the jargon of the dental industry.
"Okay, that's it for now."
Seeing that the shop owner of the dental shop was determined not to charge rent, Chen Yuan had no choice but to agree.
