Zhao Hai stood under the bare hill, then turned to look at the lush mountains around him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
When he first heard what Green said, he felt strange that a mountain, plus a manor, only cost a hundred gold coins in total. This seemed too cheap, right? But when he got to the corner of the mountain, he understood why the mountain was so cheap. The cheap stuff really didn't mean it was good.
This mountain really answers that sentence. You can understand it at a glance. Even if you really look at it with one eye, you can know what this mountain is like.
There are no other special products on this mountain. If there is any special product, there is only one thing, stones. You can see blue stones everywhere. From a distance, you can still see weeds coming out of the cracks in the stones. There is a small manor on the top of the mountain. The outer walls are also made of bluestone. The whole mountain feels like a scab with a small hat on its head, revealing its half-glazed scalp and wisps of hair. His hair, not to mention how awkward it is.
Standing next to Zhao Hai, Green naturally saw Zhao Hai's face. He couldn't help but blush. He also knew that the mountain was really terrible, but there was no way. The housing prices and land prices near Casa City were already relatively low. Other places are higher, and they don’t have much money in their hands. Only this mountain is suitable for them.
Green knew that Zhao Hai was dissatisfied, so he quickly said: "Master, although this mountain doesn't look like much, the manor is not too small. In addition, roads have been built from the bottom of the mountain to the manor, making it convenient to walk, and the manor is There is also a hot spring inside, which is also very nice to take a dip in.”
Zhao Hai understood that Green was afraid that he would look down on this mountain and that manor. Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, it's good here. It's a place like this that no one will look down on, and it will be safer. If this mountain If there are any treasures, I really don’t dare to buy them, it’s a crime to possess them.”
Green nodded. To be honest, when he bought this yard, he really didn't think much about it. He just felt that it was very cheap and not far from Casa City. But it was best if Zhao Hai thought so. He no longer has to worry about Zhao Hai being dissatisfied here.
Merlin and Meg also stood beside Zhao Hai. To be honest, let alone Zhao Hai, even the two of them felt dissatisfied when they saw this mountain.
Zhao Hai didn't care, turned around and entered the room inside the alien body, directing the alien to walk up the mountain. He really wanted to see what was in this manor.
As Green said, the only advantage of this stone mountain is that there is a stone road from the corner of the mountain to the manor on the top of the mountain. This stone road is obviously not paved with stones, and it uses some The natural stones are dug out and are five meters wide. The person who built this road is very smart. The location he chose is the least undulating place on the rocky mountain, so there is no need to dig out too many stones, just put some Cleaning the particularly tall stones will do the trick.
But Zhao Hai felt a little strange when he looked at this road. Although he had lived on the plains in northern China before and had never seen any mountains, he still knew very well that the general road for carts on the mountains was not directly to the mountain. Those built on the top of the mountain are usually winding mountain roads.
The so-called winding mountain road is a road built from the bottom of the mountain and spiraling upward. Although the road built in this way is much longer than the road that goes straight up the mountain, because the road has changed, the slope has become gentler. , which is more conducive to vehicle movement.
However, the road on Zhao Hai's rocky mountain goes straight up to the top of the mountain. It is inevitable that the slope of this road is very high. According to Zhao Hai's calculations, if he wanted to go up the mountain on this road with a carriage on earth, It's not that easy. I'm afraid it would be difficult for the horse to climb up the mountain just pulling an empty cart.
But Zhao Hai didn't say anything, because he also discovered that there were traces of cars walking on this road, which showed that this road could be used. Zhao Hai also understood that the situation here on Ark Continent cannot be compared to the situation on Earth. Judgment, so he didn't say anything, just carried the alien and walked straight up the mountain.
Soon they arrived in front of the manor. There was no clear sign on the manor. The bluestone wall more than three meters high looked very tall and strong. The paint on the tall wooden door had fallen off a lot. It looked like It's a bit old, but it still gives people a very solid feeling. There is also some moss growing on the stones of the wall. It seems that no one has taken care of it for a while.
Zhao Hai and the others got off the alien body and walked to the wooden door. The forest door was more than two meters high and nearly five meters wide. It was divided into two doors and was made up of thick wooden boards with iron bars on them. The paint on it has fallen off, but the original color of the wooden boards inside is revealed, which makes it look very old.
Green stepped forward and pushed open the wooden door with force. A harsh grinding sound came from the door, and the wooden door was slowly pushed open.
As soon as the door was opened, Zhao Hai and the others' eyes lit up. Not to mention how good the scenery in the courtyard was. Moreover, the courtyard was very large, no worse than the small square in the inner castle of Chengtieshan Castle.
Such a large square is enough to build a small castle, but it is too big to be placed in this manor.
After passing the square, there is a row of houses. There are about four houses in this row. However, these four houses do not seem to be used for living. Each room is made of wood and stone, with a double door two meters wide. The door is two meters long and a window is more than one meter wide. The roof is flat and seems to be paved with stone slabs. It seems that these four houses are used as living rooms or places to receive outsiders.
Although these houses appear to be a bit dilapidated, with traces of rain erosion on the walls, a lot of paint on the windows and doors falling off, and many places cracked, but for those who want to live in It is still possible to avoid force.
Zhao Hai looked at these houses, and he was still very satisfied. The elephants here in the manor are indeed not good-looking, but what does it matter? Almost all the buildings here are made of bluestone as the main material, and are very solid. Although there are few people taking care of it, it has not caused much damage after being hit by wind and rain for so many years, which is already remarkable.
Several people entered the house and found that the rooms here were all empty. There was no furniture inside. However, the room was quite spacious. As long as it was simply tidied up, it would not be a problem for people to live in it.
After passing through this row of houses, I found a large patio-style yard inside. There was a big tree planted in the middle of the yard. The leaves of this tree were like ginkgo trees, and it was very tall. Zhao Hai also I don’t know what kind of tree to plant.
On both sides of the row of houses where Zhao Hai and the others were, there were two doors leading to the outside. Except for the house where Zhao Hai and the others are, there are also houses on the other three sides of the patio. This house looks similar to the house where Zhao Hai and the others are. They are all made of bluestone and covered with stone slabs. Because the place is large, the light in the patio It doesn't even look dark.
There was a small ditch in front of the house. There was water flowing in the ditch. What surprised Zhao Hai most was that you could see a few small fish in the water from time to time.
Patio, big trees, running water, goldfish, the layout here is really good. If the buildings here were replaced with Chinese-style ancient buildings, it would really look like an old Beijing courtyard.
It's just spring now, and green buds have just sprouted on the big tree. The green village, flowing water, and small fish have added a touch of vitality to this ancient courtyard, which makes people feel relaxed.
Zhao Hai nodded with satisfaction, turned to Green and said: "Grandpa Green, the environment here is really good. Where does this water come from? I think it is quite cold here in winter, right? It's not so deep, and this little fish is actually Not freezing to death?"
Before Green could speak, Merlin smiled and said: "Master, I think this water must be hot spring water. The temperature of the water is not low. You don't know this kind of fish, but I do. This kind of fish is called Huoding. It is a kind of fish." Tropical fire-attribute fish are strange to say. Most fish are water-attributed, but this kind of fish is fire-attributed and can only survive in warm water. If the water temperature is too low, it will freeze to death. And this kind of fish has a characteristic, that is, it does not grow very big. They are only ten centimeters long at most, which is considered the largest. Most of them are less than ten centimeters, but this kind of fish is a rare delicacy. The taste is It’s delicious, the meat is delicate, smooth and delicious. I heard that even kings would use this fish to entertain foreign guests, it’s a top-quality delicacy.”
Zhao Hai was stunned. He really didn't expect that there would be such a fish. He squatted down and reached into the ditch. Sure enough, the water was warm, and it was a little bit hot. It looked like the temperature would definitely not be low. At 30 degrees Celsius, these fish can actually survive in this temperature, and they are still alive and well, which is amazing.
Zhao Hai saw the little fish swimming so leisurely and wanted to catch one, but he didn't expect that the little fish was surprisingly flexible in the water. He swung his tail and escaped from Zhao Hai's claws.
Zhao Hai was not catching fish, but stood up, looked around the house and said: "Okay, it seems we can raise more small fish like this here in the future. After a while, I will release a few undead creatures to guard the hill. , let those slaves out for some air, they must be exhausted after staying in the space for so many days."
Green said with a smile: "Yes, let them come out and repair this place properly. By the way, I have seen the stones on this mountain, and they are all very good. They are hard in texture and are good for making various stone tools." Materials, Master, didn't you make rollers and millstones before? Isn't this a good opportunity? There is nothing else on this mountain, but there are plenty of stones."
Zhao Hai nodded and laughed loudly and said: "Grandpa Green, it seems that we have really found a treasure this time. There are hot springs here. We can raise more fire tench, and we have made some of them with stones. The things we need, hahaha, we can have a lot of money left.”
