Counting the previous rewards from the sword shop, the benefits he received from Ma Liu twice, and the gifts he received in return for becoming Liu Xu's sect, Bailang suddenly became rich.
With a large sum of nearly thirty silver, Bailang's first thought was to change his house.
My brothers and sisters are all grown up, so it’s not appropriate for them to be crowded into one room.
It is impossible to buy a spacious house in the city for thirty silver, even an old house on the corner. With the geographical location of Yongchuan City, it is rare for houses not to keep rising in price.
But it’s not enough to buy, but it’s enough to rent. Now Bailang has not officially obtained the status of waist knife, and his monthly salary has not been increased. When the task is completed and he is promoted to waist knife, his monthly salary will be enough to cover the subsequent rental fees. And he believes that he will earn more and more. After all, I can buy a nice house. That day won’t be long!
You don't need to travel all over the city to rent an apartment. Bailang knew many people who specialized in this business. Among them, the one he felt most familiar with was a man named "Fat Dog".
The group of people who specialize in running information on renting and selling houses, and then act as intermediaries to make profits for people who come to the city to do business, work or buy property. This group of people is collectively called "Chuan Chuan" in the knife shop. Because they specialize in real estate, they add a prefix called "Chuan Chuan". "Rooms in a row".
Fang Chuan Chuan also has to pay "tax", but their "tax" is "passing money" and is collected by the knife shop. Therefore, when Chuan Chuan from all walks of life saw the people in the knife shop, they would not hesitate to curse in their hearts. Of course, on their faces, they would be groveling and trying to please them. After all, I really can't afford to offend myself by eating this bowl of rice.
If you want to find a house, you have to go near the city gate. There are many Fang Chuan Chuan that hang out with signs to solicit business. Bailang could just grab any one and let him lead him to find the fat dog. It wouldn't take much time.
Soon, Bailang found the fat dog drinking tea and eating steamed buns at the tea stall.
"Ouch! Brother Bai! Are you here for a stroll?"
He is called "Brother Bai", but Fat Dog is actually nearly thirty years older than Bai Lang. And this guy is not fat at all, he has a very muscular body, and his simple Chinese character face is more like a Lifu who works hard to move goods in the warehouse, rather than the famous old fried dough sticks in Fang Chuan Chuan.
It is said that the nickname Fat Dog was first used. It is said that he likes to eat fat meat, and when he eats it, he looks like a dog... Bailang doesn't know whether this is the case.
"Well, are you having breakfast?" Bai Lang greeted with a smile.
"Hey, it's okay now. Just deal with it. Brother Bai, do you have anything to do with me?"
"I want to find a suitable house. Can you show me the way?"
Hearing this, Fat Dog quickly wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Brother Bai has been ordered to take you around! How big of a house are you planning to change to? Should you rent or buy?"
What secrets are there in the news on the street? Bailang, a wanderer on Daoguan Street, accepted the task of improving his waist and knife. Ma Liu knew about this, and Fat Gou also knew about it. Naturally, he was not surprised at all that Bai Lang suddenly asked him to show around the house. How can you stay in a terraced house if you become a knifeman?
"Haha, I want a house with three back rooms, preferably with a water room and a separate kitchen. Don't be too far from the Mengxu Hall. I'm afraid the money I have is only enough to rent, not to buy." Bai Lang said roughly. Check out your request.
"Brother Bai is being humble, how old are you? You are about to rise to the top, and your future is limitless! And your requirements are not high. Meng Xuetang is not a big house with high walls, but a lot of small houses. . There are some for rent and some for sale. The price is indeed not low. But if Brother Bai comes to me, you must trust me, so I will tell you directly. If you can buy a house nearby, don’t rent it. I will definitely do it in the future. It’s going to have to go up quite a bit.”
"I have no money. I only have thirty silver in my hand. You want to sell me a building?" Bai Lang rolled his eyes. If he had enough money, wouldn't he know how to buy it? With a teasing tone.
Unexpectedly, Fat Dog actually looked like he was thinking. After a while, he looked at Bai Lang seriously and said, "Brother Bai, if you don't mind that the house is dilapidated, there really is something that meets your requirements. You can really buy it for thirty silver." .”
"Ah? Thirty silver can buy a three-mile house at Meng Xuetang?" Bai Lang blinked, thinking that he heard wrongly.
"Hey, Brother Bai, you heard me right. There is indeed a house that meets your requirements, and it also comes with a big yard. If you bargain, I am confident that I can help you get thirty silver. It's really not enough. , I also have some savings here, and I will just lend you some money without interest. It’s just..."
"Fat dog, tell me everything clearly." Bailang knew that there was no easy bargain in the world. Either there's something wrong with the fat dog, or there's something wrong with the house.
"Brother Bai, people have died in that house. Nine people have died in succession, and there have been five landlords. It is said that all the people who died died inexplicably, which is very strange. It is still unclear. Now the last landlord has been killed. It’s been in my hands for more than two years. No one dares to buy it, let alone live in it. That’s why it’s so cheap.”
After hearing this, Bai Lang secretly said, "Sure enough." It seems that this is not "cheap" but "looks like cheap".
"Fat Dog, do you want me to die or something else? Why don't you introduce me to others if they don't dare to live here? What do you mean?" Bai Lang narrowed his eyes and looked at Fat Dog with a half-smile.
"Ouch! Brother Bai, don't scare me! How can I feel bad for you? Isn't this because I think you are not an ordinary person, maybe you don't care about these evil things. If you don't like it, I will take you around Just transfer to another house, I guarantee your satisfaction, hehe." Fat Dog quickly explained. At the same time, he didn't tell lies. He really didn't think that a villain like Bai Lang in the mixed knife hall would care about those unreliable rumors.
Doesn't Bailang care? He definitely cares. But he was even more curious.
One morning, Fat Dog and Bai Lang visited all the houses for rent and sale in the main and back streets of the three streets near Meng Xuetang, and looked at no less than ten places. In the end Bailang did not make an immediate decision.
"Any more?"
"No more. If you change again, you won't be near the school." Fat Dog didn't feel impatient. Looking at a house, whether renting or buying it, is no small matter. It is only human nature to look around more. Not to mention people who haven't made up their minds after looking at it all morning, Fat Dog has encountered people who can't make up their mind even after looking at it for more than ten days.
"No more? Didn't you say before that there is another Xiehu mansion? Come and check it out."
"Huh? Oh! Okay, let's go this way, Brother Bai!"
Following Fat Dog, we arrived at the place not far away. The house was across a street from the school, but it was not on the main street, but in an alley behind the street.
Fat Dog took out the key and opened the door. What he saw was a large yard, estimated to be no more than five feet in diameter. There is also a big waist-thick willow tree in the corner. Because all the leaves have fallen off in winter, they look bare.
At this moment, Bailang's heart moved, and he felt a prompt pop up on his attribute panel.
Immediately, he called up the attribute panel in his mind, and sure enough, a prompt appeared in his eyes.
