Once you have money, the next natural step is to spend money
In the next few days, Yu Peng's father used the money in the bank card to buy a ground-floor commercial building with an area of more than 400 square meters in a remote area on the edge of the city, facing the street, for 2 million yuan.
Whether it is a ground-floor merchant or a bungalow, the economy of small places is not good anyway. Even if it is a ground-floor merchant, few people do business. This room is a ground-floor merchant's structure. It has always been empty inside, and it also contains structures. Close to the basement.
Small cities have the advantages and convenience of small cities. One of the most prominent features is cheap housing prices.
After that, it took nearly 5 months to carry out the overall decoration and modification, turning the house into a small fortress.
The store was ultimately designed into a "convex" structure. The walls from the basement to the first floor remained unchanged except for the outer walls. The interior parts close to the walls were all reinforced with steel plates. The steel plates were ten centimeters thick and were made of small pieces. Made of spliced steel plates
The inside of the steel plate was reinforced with a layer of reinforced concrete, and a 10 cm thick solid wall was poured with sound insulation materials.
The protective effect is excellent and it is also soundproof.
The foundation of the basement was also re-excavated and used thick steel plates, and the cement and soil were re-watered. This kind of protection is even if someone wants to dig a tunnel to get in, it is estimated that it will take several days to dig.
In the end, three bedrooms, a storage room, a toilet, a living room and a kitchen were left in the basement. The overall layout is similar to that of the first floor. The stairs up and down were also rebuilt. The stairs connect to the openings on the ground, which is clever Hidden under a hidden compartment on a platform
On the ground on the first floor, after solving the load-bearing problem of the basement, a layer of ten centimeter-thick steel plates was also laid on the original concrete structure, and then a layer of cement was laid on top to serve as the ground.
Considering that heavy steel plates would affect the stability, Taoist Luo Zhen used talismans to depict formations in many key places in the house to enhance the stability of the structure. Moreover, after the formations were generated, no one could enter unless the formations were recognized. Come
Those ghosts who are best at walking through walls will hit the iron plate here.
If the roof hadn't been reinforced with insulation materials, the store would have become an iron box.
As for the iron box, the purpose is relatively simple, which is to provide a strong noise-resistant and noise-reducing
Now in this house, especially in the basement, even if a grenade is thrown in, the surrounding residents will not hear any sound or even feel the vibration.
After making these changes, the floor space of more than 400 square meters is only less than 300 square meters, but it is still very spacious for living.
In front of the "convex" structure of the house, the part facing the street was renovated into a pharmacy with simple partitions. I bought a large counter and many Chinese medicine storage cabinets. It is a decent configuration. If you weren't familiar with it, you would really think it was here. Going to open a pharmacy
Especially the uncles, aunts and uncles who came to see me secretly, all thought so.
Hey, simple and lovely people!
The area in the middle of the first floor has been transformed into a third bedroom and kitchen. Each bedroom is more than 30 square meters, each equipped with an independent bathroom, a large bed, cabinets and all kinds of daily necessities.
Anyway, now that I have money, I can spend it freely.
Near the south side, a living room of about 20 square meters is opened for daily entertainment and rest for the family.
The last and most core area, a space of about 100 square meters, is divided into exercise rooms, medicinal bath rooms, retreat rooms, and experimental areas according to Yu Peng's future needs.
With such expenses, the money quickly bottomed out. What cost the most was the thick steel plates, and they didn't dare to blatantly transport them in during the day.
Therefore, in addition to the high cost of finished product materials, we also have to bear the cost of night transportation and loading.
In the second month of the renovation of the store, all the money on the card was basically spent. With no other choice, Yu Peng and his father went to an antique store again.
But this time, the father and son did not meet "Mr. Ye". Instead, they followed the regular process, first met an ordinary appraiser, and secondly met an intermediate appraiser, and sold the antique artifacts in their hands for 4 million.
This price falls within the general category in "antique stores", but for Yu Peng's parents, it is still a sky-high price.
During this period of time, Yu Peng's parents truly experienced the transformation from poverty to sudden wealth. They also experienced that money came like the wind blowing fallen leaves, and money went away like the water of a big river.
Thinking about the days when I used to work in Beijing, working hard in shops to earn a little money, I felt mixed emotions.
The two of them have been very tired recently. Although they said that building a house is easy, everything is far more complicated than they imagined.
The whole process was secretly guided and arranged by several spirits. The parents listened to the instructions step by step, starting from selecting the location, negotiating the purchase and signing the contract, changing the house book, selecting the decoration team, purchasing various materials through secret relationships, and carefully selecting. How do some workers with stories that cannot be told openly use the workers' weaknesses to blackmail them, and add high labor fees to ensure that all processes are carried out in a secret environment that is unknown to everyone?
Yu Peng's parents used to be honest people. They had never dealt with so many people. They tensed up their nerves every day and kept an eye on everything carefully.
Because this project is special, in order not to attract other people's attention, and of course to keep it confidential, the people hired to work on it are all people with special backgrounds.
They all seem to be easy to talk to, and they can do whatever they are told without any complaints. But if you put them elsewhere, they are the kind that are absolutely difficult to deal with. These people have been living in the quagmire of money and darkness for many years. It’s no longer something that can be described by an old saying, it’s all possessed by the spirit of youtiao.
Therefore, until the end of the construction period, Yu Peng's parents were in a state of insomnia and relied on a breath of immortal energy to survive every day.
Several spirits have had a lot of years of experience, and there are many ways to appease people's hearts, but in the end they didn't do much.
If Yu Peng succeeds in his studies and later moves into society, the world of ghosts is no simpler than the world of living people. Sooner or later, Yu Peng's parents will experience the more terrifying, dark, and even disgusting side of the human world.
Now these are regarded as basic vaccinations.
When people are busy, time always flies by without feeling anything. Six months have passed. The renovation of this basement store has finally been completed and it is ready for move-in.
When the house was renovated, Yu Peng's father carefully cleared away the workers. In addition to the normal high wages, everyone was given an extra fee.
When Yu Peng's father paid these people, he didn't dare to say anything. He was afraid that a bad word would cause trouble, and he was even more worried that they would do anything if they saw money.
Fortunately, Taoist Luo Zhen helped secretly and dispelled a few evil intentions of harming the workers, and finally completed the cleanup work smoothly.
During this period, Yu Peng's father also went to the relevant departments and completed all the procedures required for opening a pharmacy. In fact, he didn't really want to open a pharmacy. These were just necessary means to deal with unexpected needs.
The nearby residents were puzzled when they saw that the house had been renovated, but it had not yet opened. The door was even closed and no signboard was hung. Many people came to inquire about the news, but they were all explained euphemistically by Yu Peng's father.
Tell everyone that there are some problems with the channels and funds for purchasing medicine, and this store may not open in the short term.
Anyway, opening a drugstore is just a cover, just using this name to decorate the house.
The area outside the pharmacy is vacant, leaving only a side door for entry and exit.
All the practical items in the living area have been purchased, so there will definitely be no problem in long-term living. As for the core area, various exercise equipment are fully prepared, such as iron blocks from five kilograms to five hundred kilograms. Used as dumbbells
All kinds of weapons are made of pure steel from small to large, ranging from five kilograms, ten kilograms, to 100 kilograms, including swords, guns, sticks, and eighteen kinds of weapons.
There is also a set of medicinal baths, test benches and various experimental utensils.
After tidying up like this, I found that there was still a small room that was empty. It was finally tidied up into a study room, and many ancient books were purchased and placed in the bookcases.
In short, in one sentence, this place is extremely suitable to be a small military base now. It needs protection, facilities, and weapons.
It's just that these weapons are all cold weapons.
Before Yu Peng's parents could take a breather, under the arrangement of Taoist Luo Zhen, Yu Peng's parents quickly contacted them to purchase medicinal materials.
The good thing is that where to buy, what medicine to buy, and how much to buy are all planned and arranged by the spiritual elders. Yu Peng's parents only need to drive there, which is relatively easy.
Some of these are commonly used drugs used to cover pharmacies, and most of the rest are used to prepare Yu Peng's muscles and marrow.
It has been more than half a year since his birthday. It went from December to June of the following year in a flash. Although Yu Peng is only 3 years old, he is not idle. He runs around with his parents every day to see the world.
Occasionally when I couldn't help my parents, I would chat with a few spirits and listen to their stories about the workers.
An uncle who works the hardest and rushes to do everything.
He has an unkempt beard, a mess of hair, and his clothes are in tatters. I don’t know if he only washes them once a year. He doesn’t talk at all and eats in a hurry.
But all the wages he earned, except for leaving a few hundred yuan for his own meals, were all transferred to a card and given to his son who was studying in a distant place.
Every time his son received money, no matter how much, he would never thank him. Of course, there was no contact information between them.
Because a few years ago, the uncle's wife had an affair with someone else. His son, who had just graduated from junior high school, watched his uncle kill his wife, bury the body, and then disappear without a trace. The son did not call the police, but he never returned to that home again. , relying on the help of his uncle to go to school in other places to escape from all this
He could receive some amount of living expenses every month, and he knew it was from his father, but... alas...
There is another young man in his twenties, who is also from out of town and works very hard. The only problem is that he is too talkative. He brags and farts with others every day. He talks about everything all over the world, only at night When, it stopped
Of course, the reason why he stopped was not because of sleep, but every night, he would think of how one dark night, when he wanted to join the society, he was led by one eldest brother to stab another eldest brother. The assassination failed, and his eldest brother was killed by many of his brothers. Hacked to death, he escaped by luck
This psychological shadow has been with him for more than three years. This thing is on his mind every day, so he can only rely on talking and bragging with others to numb his nerves.
There are more than ten workers, each with their own story. Comedy is accompanied by tragedy. They live in pain, but they have to be bent by life.
Taoist Luo Zhen explained how they were in their early days, what happened that changed the trajectory of their lives, what choices they made, how they did evil, and why they lived like this, etc.
Yu Peng listened with great interest. This must be part of preaching.
Compared with personal experience that can bring about growth insights, watching other people's lives can alert oneself. This is a safer way of learning.
When Yu Peng's parents took Yu Peng to live here, several spiritual elders officially lived with their families.
Yu Peng’s real monastic life began here
