It's really evil here! Shi Qi thought to himself secretly.

"Don't panic, just ask some people to come over and take care of it."

Mo Chuchen threw a purse over and said, "Go and do it, and I'll pay you for the rest."

"The locals will not be happy to come to this kind of place, and those Jianghu people may not accept this kind of thing."

Seventeen is a little troubled, and the local people are definitely not superstitious.

"master!"

At this moment, a shout full of surprise and excitement came from outside the door.

Shi Qi twitched his ears, and then couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that a cheap apprentice he had accepted at will would actually follow him to the White Country.

After thinking about it, he looked back and saw that on the busy street, a young man wearing gray cloth was holding a sword and looking at him from a distance. The young man's body was much taller and stronger than before, and his facial features were no longer childish, with sharp edges and corners.

You can still vaguely feel a bit sharp.

"Okay, free labor is coming soon." Mo Chuchen laughed teasingly, turned around and went into the dessert shop next to him.

"Master! Over the past few days, my apprentice has been studying martial arts for a long time and has achieved some success!"

Xing Yao came to Qi Qi with great joy, talking about his cultivation as if showing off.

He originally didn't expect that he would be able to successfully find Shiqi. He just heard that the haunted house nearby was rented, and came to watch out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, he gathered acquaintances in the crowd.

"You're here at the right time. I'll give you one thing to do. Find a few people to clean up the yard. I'll take good care of you!"

After saying that, Qi Qi threw the purse to Xing Yao again, and then ran away under Xing Yao's hopeful eyes.

Speaking of this, it wasn't that Qi Qi was cold and callous, but he found that the way his apprentice looked at him was so intense that it was suffocating. He thought for a moment and decided to let Xing Yao calm down first.

"……."

Something seems not right!

Xing Yao looked at the heavy purse in his hand with a dull face.

The meeting between master and apprentice in his fantasy should be more intense and emotional. Why did he become an errand boy before he said a few words?

Moreover, I seem to have forgotten to ask the master who the pretty boy next to him is!

Full of regret for missing the opportunity, Xing Yao braced himself up and ran around, finally gathering a few craftsmen before the sun set.

After having enough manpower, the weeds in the yard were quickly shaved clean with sharp knives. Spider webs and dust were also smashed directly in front of the big wooden broom. At the same time, the workers also sorted out

We killed a lot of scorpions, centipedes and other strange insects, and destroyed more than three ant nests.

"The workload of your project is a bit heavy. Why don't you clean it tomorrow?"

The swarthy man with a cloth on his head found Xing Yao: "Besides dust and bugs, all the furniture here has been chewed up by bugs. The only few houses that can be occupied by people are empty. It will last for a while, even if it is temporarily built.

It’s too late.”

"It's okay. You can make furniture and clean at the same time. I'll give you another five taels of silver as compensation for staying up all night!"

Thinking of the master's previous instructions, Xing Yao gritted his teeth and said that he must do everything beautifully, and he must improve his image points no matter what!

"That's okay, but you have to pay some money first, otherwise everyone will be unsure and afraid that you will run away."

"No problem! I'll just buy snacks for the brothers." Xing Yao took a few strings of copper coins.

"Okay!"

The swarthy man tied with a cloth hesitated for a moment. Originally, he didn't want to work overtime, but the other party gave him too much. He thought, if he gritted his teeth, he could still persevere.

There are just a little more bugs here, and this is not a particularly dangerous thing!

In this world, except for the top heroes, most people make only average money. The advantage is that they don't need to pay all kinds of weird taxes, and they won't be caught halfway to join the army.

Spend as much as you want.

The disadvantage is that most people will not easily hire people from the charlatan. In everyone's eyes, this group of people is either a group of desperadoes or a group of young men whose identities are a mystery, and no one can afford to offend them.

What's worse is that a group of people with low status can only wander around or live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.

Otherwise, if the yamen calculated it seriously, they would all be examples of tax evasion.

The above are all for people with low social status. For those knights from wealthy backgrounds, such trivial matters are not their turn to worry about.

How does Xing Yao not know how valuable silver is?

But there was nothing he could do. If he searched and searched, the master might have to delay for many days before he could live safely.

For this reason, he could only use the money in his pocket to supervise the workers.

Under the guidance of silver, everyone's enthusiasm has been greatly improved. Before dawn, two of the four houses have been cleaned and filled with new simple furniture.

The other two houses were also being cleaned in full swing, and this famous haunted house was suddenly brightly lit and bustling with activity.

As for Mo Chuchen and Shi Qi, after seeing the situation in the courtyard, they decisively decided to go back to the carriage to rest. The situation in the courtyard was not as comfortable as in the carriage!

In the early morning, the sun had just begun to show its light, and the people in Yunjian Mountain City had already gathered around the courtyard. With curiosity, fear and taboo in their eyes, they told each other all the stories about the courtyard.

"Oh! Isn't that a haunted house where several people die every year?"

"Since the tragedy five years ago, something has died every year in this haunted house. Why are there still people who are not afraid of death living in it now?"

"Today I heard that there are many foreign weapons as prizes, and there are quite a lot of martial arts people participating. I guess there are no inns in the city, so I have to stay here."

"Where can I live in a place like this? Have you forgotten the lame beggar from last year and the down-and-out scholar from the year before? They just lived there quietly and died violently!"

"If people don't talk about it, let's talk about the animals. How many animals went in and never came out again? Who would kill a thousand people and dare to rent the yard to others?"

"That's not all. Every night, ghosts cry and wolves howl in this courtyard! The ghosts of those who died unjustly are still there!"

"It is said that the mages who practiced the method back then did not dare to step into it, so they could only do it through the door. They said this house was evil!"

"I stopped talking. The more I talked about it, the more evil it became. My whole body became cold!"

Through the spread of rumors by local aborigines, the rumors about the courtyard became more and more outrageous, and finally alarmed the owner of the house. The guard finally ran out and tried hard to refute the rumors.

However, as the saying goes, if you start a rumor, you will lose your legs if you refute it. Obviously, a guard can't resist everyone's mouth. In the end, the rumor was not extinguished. Instead, the guard was regarded as a black-hearted homeowner who deceived people, and was even tricked by unknown persons.
