Chapter Nine, Checking into the Haunted House
However, the world of a bachelor is filled with too much helplessness. This house is cluttered with various kinds of household waste, which I estimate has not been dealt with for about a month. The entire room, except for the bed in the bedroom, has no space to even step.
"Hehe, it's nothing, I have no taboos." Cousin responded with a cheerful smile
Zhang Wude originally asked out of habit, not expecting that I would actually nod in agreement. Suddenly, I began to feel somewhat suspicious.
In the living room, a boy and a girl, both around seven or eight years old, looked adorably chubby. At that moment, they were curiously observing me
In this scene, it is indeed the case that an ordinary person would cry out for their parents and flee in panic.
I nodded and readily signed the contract. As for the payment for the house, in addition to the two hundred thousand I have on me, selling the ancestral home in the county should be more than sufficient
It is indeed a challenge for my cousin. He clearly knows everything, yet he insists on feigning politeness with his own boss.
Upon entering the bamboo forest, one immediately feels a chill breeze passing through
In fact, there are still some things I haven't explicitly stated; there should be some regulars living in the basement. However, considering my cousin's expression, which is almost on the verge of collapse, I think it's better to leave it be
Her willow-like eyebrows resemble the crescent moon, her eyes shimmer with flowing brilliance, her nose is as exquisite as jade, and her lips are like cherries. Almost all beauty is concentrated in her alone, even surpassing Mao Xueying in an ethereal allure.
I chuckled softly. The money truly sounds like a well-calculated move. From the implications in the words, it is evident that they are already aware that this house is not in good condition. Yet, they still sold it to my cousin. Perhaps feeling guilty for deceiving their subordinate, they took the initiative to lower the price.
I was about to sign when Zhang Wude stopped me, saying: "Please wait a moment, Mr. Qian has instructed that we should wait for the lawyer to come and notarize before signing."
"This is the house transfer contract. Please take a look at it," Zhang Wude said, demonstrating his professionalism as he handed over the three copies of the contract with a warm smile.
A song of righteousness, I have become somewhat hoarse from singing too passionately at KTV earlier
The second floor has only half the area of the first floor. In the space of several dozen square meters, there is a skylight installed on the ceiling of both the bedroom and the living room, almost covering the entire ceiling. It is currently summer. The midday sunlight streams in, yet there is not the slightest feeling of stuffiness in the room
Hehe! I smiled as I closed the door, sat on the sofa, and curiously asked, "What is your name?"
Hehe, I said with a smile: "For Mr. Qian, this is a hot potato; for me, this is a rare treasure. We each take what we need. Besides, Mr. Qian has also advised you not to take it."
This is a contract agreement. Since this house is classified as a subsidized special price property, it is necessary to sign a waiver of the right to return or exchange before purchasing. However, such a large area of land is worth much more than this price; this house is practically being given away!
I watched them leave with great interest, feeling no anxiety in my heart
Indeed, this house is very much to our liking I nodded and said
I decisively dismissed the thought of spending the night here with him.
We received the business card, and Lawyer Ma directly opened his briefcase to take out a copy of the agreement.
"Are you here to play with us? Come on! Come on, play with us together." The little girl suddenly waved at me with a mischievous expression.
Ten minutes later, a black business vehicle stopped by the roadside. The car door opened, and a middle-aged man with a square face, dressed in a sharp suit, appeared very capable as he waved to us while holding a briefcase
Cousin also purchased an apartment in Dongmen City. It has a layout of three bedrooms and one living room, with an area of approximately 80 to 90 square meters
I smiled faintly, stepped forward, and took the agreement to sign my name directly on it
Wow! Mr. Qian is indeed ruthless; even the agents know that this house is uninhabitable, yet he still recommended it to me! And I can't even withdraw from the purchase! Damn it, only Ni Ge would want this. Otherwise, I would just throw it at him. By the way, Ni Ge won't be staying here tonight, right?
Dongmen City is the capital of the Northwest Province of Huaxia. The sight of vehicles on the streets, bustling like ants carrying food, is enough to make one feel a sense of unease. The pedestrians on the lively streets are almost heel-to-heel. A food pedestrian street, spanning 2,000 meters, took my cousin and me a full hour and a half to walk through.
I furrowed my brow and looked around. The bamboo stood upright, straight and tall, while the surrounding light was dim, making everything appear quite blurry
Hehe! "Cousin, don't be afraid. It's noon now, and there won't be any ghosts appearing in broad daylight. Moreover, the lighting here is very good, so there shouldn't be any problems. Come on, let's go up to the second floor and take a look." I smiled and pulled my cousin straight to the second floor.
There is no other way; having paid for the fare, I can only slowly walk back by myself
That Zhang Wude stood in front of the car, gazing.
The great way is clear and bright, the universe harbors righteousness, evil spirits dare not appear, the world is a landscape of mountains and rivers, the jade towers hang the sun and moon, vast and mighty, a body filled with righteousness
The two little boys suddenly froze, appearing somewhat frightened, and slowly took two steps back
Cousin took out his phone and dialed: "Mr. Qian, I have looked at the house. Please let me know when we can proceed with the transfer of ownership!"
After my cousin awkwardly introduced me to the door, he kept trying various snacks outside and then sang loudly in the KTV until midnight
After sending my unconscious cousin back to the house, I took my backpack and hailed a taxi back to the villa. To my surprise, the driver only stopped the car outside the bamboo grove, refusing to go any further despite the remaining distance of about one hundred meters. He looked at me with a peculiar gaze, a hint of pity in his eyes.
Upon seeing that I had signed the contract, Zhang Wude hesitated for a moment as if he had made some resolution before saying: "Mr. Ni, this house is for investment. Once the development here is completed, it can indeed yield a profit. As for living here, forget it! This place! This place is not very clean!"
Passing through the bamboo forest, I opened the door. The room suddenly became bright.
As I pondered, the door to the basement slowly opened, revealing a figure in flowing white silk, with a graceful silhouette and long hair cascading over a stunningly beautiful face
Indeed, let's go, Ni Ge, and take a good stroll around the East Gate Market. Let me tell you! This big city is incomparable to our small county town. Not to mention anything else, even the girls here are more charming than one another! Hehe!" As he spoke, my cousin was practically drooling as he pulled me onto the car
Well! Since it is like this, not giving it to you would make me seem untrustworthy. How about this, I will sell you this house for 400,000. As for the rest, there is a company that will subsidize you. Just wait there, and I will have my lawyer bring the documents over.
"Ni Ge, then let's not stay here any longer, let's hurry and leave!" Upon hearing my words, my cousin was so startled that he had several layers of goosebumps. His voice trembled slightly.
Looking again at the balcony, there is actually a swimming pool of several dozen square meters!
"I have finished my matters here, you all can chat!" Upon seeing me sign the agreement, Lawyer Ma greeted me with a smile. He disappeared in a flash as he got into the car
The little boy and girl immediately became alert, watching me in silence. Their originally rosy and adorable faces suddenly turned pale. In an instant, their entire bodies were enveloped by a thick, ominous aura
Hello, I am Lawyer Ma from Dongmen Law Firm, this is my business card
Take out the agreement, and Lawyer Ma, fearing that we might hesitate, quickly began to praise the house.
Cousin glanced at it briefly and nodded at me: "There is no problem."
Ah! It seems that the person on the other end of the phone was choked! After a long pause, a voice finally came through: "Cheng Yuan, you really shouldn't take that villa! I initially thought that place was quite good, and the price was almost like a gift, which is why I mentioned it to you. I had no idea that it was next to a cemetery."
Although the house is mine, there are indigenous inhabitants in the basement. Driving them away would not benefit me in any way. The layout here resembles that of an inn; with these few spirits occupying the space, it also saves me from being disturbed by newcomers. Therefore, it is best to first understand the situation and establish a good relationship.
In a small county town, traffic jams are akin to a miraculous legend, yet today, even people have joined in the experience of being stuck.
The clash of light and dark energies, combined with the layout of the dragonfly skimming the water, has directly formed a Yin-Yang Five Elements formation on the second floor of this villa. This layout left me in awe, as it maximizes the interplay of Yin and Yang through the dragonfly skimming the water, creating a continuous cycle of transformation. Truly, a masterful design! I have developed a certain admiration for the designer of this house.
"So, are both of you still satisfied?" Zhang Wude asked hesitantly
Cousin naturally understood what was going on and hesitantly looked at me
Zhang Wude also stepped forward at this moment: "Mr. Ni, we can now sign the transfer contract. The company will handle the procedures for the land tax and the land, and it is expected that the property certificate can be obtained in three days."
After viewing the house, my cousin eagerly pulled me out of the villa
Since it was Mr. Qian's instruction, my cousin and I felt it inappropriate to say anything. After all, this house was given to us at half price, so we should cooperate in some way.
This house belongs to me. If anyone should leave, it should be you. I looked at the two little brats with a smile, showing no intention of cooperating with their fear. I even took out a peach wood stick from my backpack and gently tapped it against the ground
After finishing his words, Zhang Wude turned around and got into the car. With a press of the accelerator, the car took off as if it were flying.
Oh! Thank you so much, Mr. Qian!" said my cousin, almost gritting his teeth.
"You, you bully children, I will find my sister to teach you a lesson." The little girl stomped her foot in anger and turned to pull the little boy towards the direction of the basement.
However, as someone with a Nine Yin constitution, I have been different from others since childhood. The most I have encountered is the supernatural. Cultivation is divided into nine grades, and so are ghosts and monsters. These two little ghosts are merely at the first level; to me, they are simply playing with me.
"Uncle, you can't come here," the young boy's tender voice rang out, though a hint of displeasure was evident on his face. The young girl, seemingly frightened, hid behind the boy.
"Uncle, this is not a place you should be. You should leave!" said the little boy in a ghostly tone, slowly pointing towards the door. "If you don't leave now, you won't be able to anymore!"
