After getting the key and the deed, they finally opened the door of the house and stood inside as the owners.
On the way here, Ling Yun bought a broom and dustpan, a set of simple teapots and bowls, and a large wooden bucket.
After entering, the first impression of this house was that it was desolate. Ling Yun looked around carefully and found no trace of evil or resentment.
I felt strange in my heart. It seemed like it was just an empty house with no people living there all year round. It couldn't be called a haunted house. Could it be that there was some powerful existence that I couldn't even see through?
The house has two entrances. The outer circle is full of the same small houses, which should be where the master used to house his servants. The kitchen and other functional areas are also here. A small door leads to the inner courtyard, and the inner circle is The yard is obviously different from the outside. Not only are the houses here relatively spacious, but they also have two bays, both inside and outside.
Directly opposite the door is a hall, which is fully furnished with tables and chairs, but is covered with a thick layer of dust. This should be a restaurant or a reception area.
The three teenagers who grew up in the village had never seen such a large house, not to mention that there were rockeries, pavilions and small bridges and lotus ponds in the inner courtyard.
They see a lot of vegetable gardens and chicken coops...
"It's so big here!" Huzi sighed sincerely, "The house also looks very beautiful and grand."
Indeed, although this place cannot be called a carved-beam building, you can see the builder's intentions. The beams are painted with exquisite patterns, and the visible pillars are covered with lime layers for protection. They are painted with red paint, which gives them a sense of elegance. The solemn feeling of vicissitudes of life.
The window paper stuck on the inside of the window will look a little dilapidated if it is damaged. Simply clean it up and it will look good in no time.
Ling Yun chose a room that should be the master's room, opened the door and walked in. Ling Yun was still shocked by the furnishings inside.
The cloud-stepping bed, the Babao Pavilion shelf, there are even a few vases on it that have not been taken away, a huge wardrobe with peach blossom branches decorated with fan patterns, copper buttons embellished on it, and copper-wrapped corners. At first glance, it is not a cheap thing, that's all It was also abandoned in this house, which shows the rush of the previous owner when he moved out.
Opening the wardrobe, there were still forgotten clothes inside. Although Ling Yunqiong was poor, he had no interest in other people's old clothes. He casually pulled a piece of cotton cloth and tore it open in a few times. He used it as a rag to clean it up.
Xuanmen once said, "If you don't want to memorize words, you won't wear other people's clothes, don't touch other people's shoes, don't take leftovers, and don't go back."
Ling Yun is a little bit of a germaphobe about this, and won't use anything that has been used by others on the body or in the mouth.
"The situation here is unclear, Huzi, if you take Chunliang and Ryoko back to the village first, we may have to sleep here today."
How could Huzi and his three children, who were extremely curious, be willing to go back like this? Today they finally entered this haunted house. How could they be content without seeing what the ghost was doing? Taking advantage of his young age, Huzi immediately started acting like a macho man.
"Sister Lingyun, if we don't go back, just ask us to stay and practice our courage. Last time we were on the mountain, we almost peed our pants. How embarrassing. Just ask us to stay and gain experience. We promise to take care of ourselves. If we don’t cause trouble for you, we can still help with the work. Look at this house, everything is complete, but it’s all ashes. If we don’t keep such a big yard that you can’t handle, just ask us to stay, good sister. Please, you’re the best!”
Ling Yun already liked these three energetic young men, and Hu Zi kept begging to stay, so she couldn't bear to refuse.
In the end, even Su Youting also started to help and plead, "If they want to stay, ask them to stay and help. If there is really danger, I will just throw them out along the wall first."
Only then did Ling Yun reluctantly nod in agreement, but still looked uneasily at the scars on the amulets left on their palms. These three boys could be considered a blessing in disguise last time, as the mark formed a scar on their palms.
This will also give them more means to save their lives when they face danger, and it will also give Ling Yun some peace of mind, "Okay, if you insist on staying, you can stay, but all subsequent actions must be subject to my orders."
Huzi and the other three agreed, "Absolutely, of course we all listen to Sister Lingyun!"
In order to show that they were really useful, the three teenagers grabbed the cleaning items, looked for a well to draw water, and started cleaning the yard. The dust was flying all over the sky, making Ling Yun and Su Youting choke and cover their mouths and noses.
Su Youting couldn't stand the fact that these three little melon eggs continued to create pollution, so he issued instructions from under his fingers in a muffled voice, "Don't sweep all the dust, go get water and sprinkle it first, and then sweep the floor!"
The three teenagers laughed and ran towards the back door. The well in this kind of house was usually in the northeast corner.
With three less dust makers, the couple put down their hands covering their mouths and said, "Youting, let's clean up this room tonight and deal with it for the night."
"Okay, you stay in the inner room, and the four of us will help you hold the door in the outer room!"
"In this house, there are a lot of things from the previous owner. These clothes, sheets, and kitchen things. If you have no use for them, just pack them up and take them back. Who doesn't mind taking them back and using them? What do you think?"
"Well, okay, it's all up to you."
Su Youting may not even feel it himself. He has become less and less cold-faced and venomous in front of Ling Yun. Instead, he answers questions more often.
The atmosphere of getting along has changed subtly and beautifully.
Su Youting picked up the dusty sheets from the bed, piled all the clothes in the cabinet on them and packed them into bundles. In this way, he walked to the rest of the room and brought out five or six packages, and then Just go straight to the kitchen.
Unfortunately, he is very similar to Ling Yun in terms of being a germophobe. He is not particularly particular about the things that are close to the body or the entrance, but others are a little displeased if they have used and discarded ones.
Along with the big pot, there was a pile of cups, plates, dishes and chopsticks.
When the three teenagers came back, they were all shocked by the pile of things in front of them. They asked in surprise, "You don't want all these things?"
"Take it back later and give it to people in the village who can use it. I've kept everything that can be used. There are a lot of things in this house."
Fortunately, they bought a new teapot and tea bowl, and now at least they don't have to worry about running out of water.
There were several fruit trees in the yard. They didn't even have any leaves this season. There were only leaves on the ground. The three teenagers didn't know how to clean them up. After a rough sweep, they could only pile the leaves in the yard and look around in a daze.
Huzi said with emotion, "I finally understand why rich people have to hire servants. Just cleaning up can take away half of their lives."
Zhang Chunliang also actively expressed his thoughts, "You can imagine that this lotus pond was very beautiful when it was in bloom, but this pond is full of mud with dead lotus and dead branches, and now it looks really spooky."
Wu Liang threatened him and said, "Then you still dare to stand by the pool. Be careful and a female ghost in red will reach out and grab you!"
Zhang Chunliang immediately avoided the lotus pond and really did not dare to approach it again.
