The Geng Family Courtyard is located at the east end of the street, covering an area of nearly half an acre. It is a standard two-entry courtyard, with the rear one being used as a residence and the front one being used as a shop.
Due to the haunting incident, no one has been taking care of the courtyard for the past ten days, making it look a bit desolate and deserted.
In fact, this place does not belong to a busy street, and seems a little remote. However, the Geng family was originally used to sell oil, so it is no problem. However, Chen Jianchen took it down to live in it, and there was no big problem. On the contrary, he was happy to be quiet.
Yes, the surname of this villa is no longer Geng, but Chen.
In the morning, Chen Jianchen and Wang Fu approached the Geng family members and wanted to rent the courtyard first. However, when they asked casually, the Yuanwai said that the entire courtyard was sold for fifteen ingots of silver.
This price is seriously lower than the market price.
Living in the city is not easy.
The usual price of a villa like this is at least thirty silver ingots, but now it's at a 50% discount.
As soon as he made up his mind, Chen Jianchen came up with the idea of buying a yard. He immediately borrowed six ingots of silver from Wang Fu, collected enough money, and went to the government office with the Geng family members to complete the transfer documents.
As a result, the other courtyard became Chen Jianchen's property, and finally he was no longer a destitute man.
This property came faster and more smoothly than expected. Chen Jianchen was very excited and wanted to suppress the ghosts in the house as quickly as possible, and then bring his mother and Abao into the city.
As for opening a calligraphy and painting shop, we can put it on hold for now.
Entering the other courtyard, most of the furniture, oil drums and other items inside had been emptied out. They had been moved out by people sent by Mr. Geng and sold at a loss. Therefore, the whole house looked empty, with debris and rubbish all over the floor.
Wang Fu followed Chen Jianchen closely and walked around the house, looking everywhere for fear that the ghost would suddenly appear.
In fact, Wang Fu was opposed to Chen Jianchen buying a house.
This is a ghost house, which is not conducive to people.
Chen Jianchen said proudly: "As long as scholars have a righteous heart and upright thoughts, there is no reason to be afraid of ghosts?"
After hearing this, Wang Fu curled his lips, everyone can say nice things, just look at those gentlemen who spoke in class, one after another, but when they encountered some temple or something, they visited the temple faster than the students, nothing more than that.
He wanted peace of mind. However, he knew that what Chen Jianchen had decided would not change, so he didn't say much and was happy to be a loan favor.
After walking around in a circle, Chen Jianchen said: "Brother Futai, I will stay in the house tonight, you can go back to the academy."
Wang Fu was stunned and asked: "Liu Xian, are you really sure?"
Chen Jianchen chuckled: "If I wasn't sure, why would I buy the house?"
Wang Fu thought about it and felt that it was the case. Chen Jianchen was young and mature, and acted in a measured manner. He knew this very well. He then gave a few instructions and left.
Chen Jianchen is the only one left in the house.
He put down his book, took out the Four Treasures of the Study, and placed them neatly in the open space. He concentrated on the book, brushed it, and wrote a word - "Zhen" one by one.
The large characters are dripping with ink, full of energy, and full of righteousness.
After a pause, Chen Jianchen had an idea, picked up the pen and wrote another word, the word "ding". However, this word was not written on paper, but on the palm of his left hand.
The word "ding" is written on the palm of my hand. The strokes of the font are strict and straight.
He gently dried the pen and ink, and then sat in the empty hall, waiting for nightfall.
Night came quickly, and a bright moon hung in the sky outside the window, spreading the cold moonlight in and printing the shadow of the mother-in-law on the ground.
Under the moonlight, Chen Jianchen's shadow stretched long and straight to the wall.
On the wall behind him, the word "Zhen" was pasted on it.
Swish swish!
At some point, a strange sound suddenly came from outside the window, as if something was dragging and moving on the ground. The sound was very uncomfortable to the ears.
Chen Jianchen suddenly opened his eyes and saw a huge head suddenly popping out of the open window.
Its head is as big as a bucket, its eyes are as big as copper bells, its nose is pointed toward the sky, and it has a huge mouth. It is a ferocious-looking ghost.
The ghost poked its head out from under the window and grinned at Chen Jianchen - if it were an ordinary timid person, it would have started to urinate and pee immediately, making the sound of a dolphin. But who kind of person is Chen Jianchen, sitting upright and motionless?
, just waiting for the other party to enter the house.
Seeing that the ghost didn't scare him, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. It made a roaring sound in its mouth, opened its mouth wide, revealing a full mouth of thick white teeth, and a long scarlet tongue stretched out, which made it even more terrifying. Look at its appearance, not only
Chen Jianchen was so frightened that he fled and vowed not to give up.
Chen Jianchen suddenly laughed and said: "You evil ghost, you are so unqualified. You only rely on your ugly appearance to scare people. You will fall into the inferior category. Why don't you go into the room and sit down, and how about we have a long chat?"
——At this moment, he suddenly remembered a short story. It was said that in ancient times, there was a Mr. Cao who lived in a friend's study. In the middle of the night, something crawled in like a worm from under the door. It was as thin as a piece of paper.
Paper is average.
After entering the room, the paper gradually unfolded into a human form, revealing a pale-faced woman.
The incident happened suddenly, but Cao Sheng was not afraid at all and continued reading calmly. The woman suddenly spread her hair and stuck out her tongue, pretending to hang herself.
Seeing this, Cao Sheng smiled and said: "My hair is disheveled, it's still hair, it's just a little messy; no matter how long my tongue is stretched out, it's still a tongue, even if it's longer, what's so scary?"
Seeing that she couldn't scare him, the female ghost suddenly took off her head and put it on the table.
Unexpectedly, Cao Sheng laughed even louder and said, "It's not worth being afraid if you have a head, let alone one without one."
The female ghost Qianlu was so exhausted that she had no choice but to leave in anger and disappear.
At present, Chen Jianchen has more support than Cao Sheng, has full confidence, and has no fear.
The ghosts outside the window repeatedly frightened Chen Jianchen, who looked quite impatient. With a squeak, his huge body rushed through the window and threw himself into the house.
His eyes flashed red, thinking that Chen Jianchen would be so frightened that he would run away?
But it was disappointed. Although Chen Jianchen made some moves, he didn't run away. Instead, he stood up suddenly and tried to meet him. He was not afraid at all.
My dear...
The three ghost axes had been used up, and he knew he was going the wrong way, so he turned around and tried to escape out of frustration.
It actually wants to escape?
Chen Jianchen was angry and funny. This ghost was really too powerful but far weaker than expected. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as a "paper tiger". He immediately shouted: "Where to go?"
He rushed forward quickly and with great agility, he quickly got behind the ghost. He opened his left palm and struck the ghost's dark body with one palm.
