Wandering in the world of martial arts

Chapter 216 You Can't Survive One Night

"Uncle Yang, this house seems a bit deserted?"

After the room was settled, there was actually nothing to settle in, so Wu Chen walked around for a while and found that the rooms inside were all empty and there was no one there.

"These wing rooms were originally for guests to live in. Now, alas, there are no guests coming over." Old servant Yang sighed.

"Oh, so that's the case, where do you live, Mr. Yang?" Wu Chen asked again.

He didn't know the layout of this ancient courtyard.

"We servants all live in the lower room. There is a small door on the left when you first enter. Just go in. The old man will take you to see it later." Old servant Yang answered.

"Then Uncle Yang, can you arrange for me to live in the servant's room?" Wu Chen asked again.

Old servant Yang was stunned for a moment.

His cloudy and yellow eyes stared blankly at Wu Chen, as if he forgot how to reply.

"What's wrong? Uncle Yang? Isn't it easy to arrange it?" Wu Chen stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

"This... the old man has received many guests for so many years, but this is the first time I heard that there are wing rooms that don't stay, and those who want to live in the second room..." Old servant Yang replied dully.

Wu Chen blinked and realized that what he said was indeed wrong.

Applying the modern background, it is equivalent to going to someone else's house to help, and they arrange a hotel for you to live in, but you still have to go to a youth hostel, which is really not a normal person's thinking.

"In general, if you are a nursing home, you should still live in the lower room, right?" Wu Chen said again.

"Ordinary servants are indeed in the lower house, but it is different now. The master has personally given instructions. If the old man arranges for you to live in the lower house again, the master will definitely be furious!" Old servant Yang smiled bitterly.

Wu Chen pursed his lips, probably understanding a little.

Although Zhang Yuanwai is said to be a local tyrant, that is only relative to the common people.

The nursing homes that his class hired were probably ordinary people with better skills, and it was no problem to arrange them in the servants.

But the current situation is different. Zhang Yuanwai directly treats nursing homes who are still willing to come to a higher standard. How dare Old Servant Yang go against his master's wishes.

"It's too deserted here, let's go over there first." Wu Chen said.

"Okay, let them boil water, give you a bath, and change your clothes." Old Pu Yang immediately took Wu Chen to the first entrance.

The entire Zhang family mansion has three entrances, the first entrance is the foyer, the second entrance is the main room, and the third entrance is the back house.

The first entrance is equivalent to a modern porch.

Because the entrance does not need to be designed too large, there will be a lot of space left after the first entry. In the homes of large families, it is often separated for the servants to live in.

When he arrived at the servant's room, Wu Chen found that the house here was quite dilapidated and the environment was a bit dirty, which was really much different from the environment in the second room.

Two tall and thick women were sitting in the courtyard choosing vegetables, when they both looked over.

Old servant Yang greeted them both, and introduced to Wu Chen, "This is Mama Liu and Mama Zhang. They do all the cooking, laundry, and cleaning."

Wu Chen nodded and didn't pay much attention to these two wives.

"Master Yang, is this new here?" Just then, a male figure walked over.

He is about 40 years old, with sallow skin, small eyes, and looks a little wretched.

"This is Wu Chen, the new nursing home." Old servant Yang introduced.

"Guyuan??"

The man's voice suddenly became sharp, his eyes rolled, and he looked around at Wu Chen's ragged clothes and open-toed straw sandals for a few times. After a while, he seemed to understand.

"Brother, you are still smart! If you blow a little bit of cold wind, you can get five taels of silver for free. Is there any business more profitable than this in the world?
It's just, how could Grandpa Yuan arrange you to be in the next room!hehe……"

Having said that, the man could no longer hide his laughter.

Wu Chen couldn't help frowning.

"Joe San, don't talk nonsense! The master arranged for Wu Chen to live in a wing, I just brought him here to have a look." Old servant Yang said dissatisfied.

"Look? What's so interesting about this place where this person lives? Let's talk about it after you finish tonight!"

The man snorted and left.

"Wu Chen, this Qiao San is just talking nonsense, don't take it to heart." Old servant Yang quickly explained to Wu Chen.

"Uncle Yang, what does he do?" Wu Chen pouted.

"He also came here a few days ago to apply for a servant. In fact, the master doesn't like him very much, but there are a lot of rough jobs in this house that must be done by someone, so he is still kept." Old servant Yang said.

"So, he is also a 'brave man'? Then what does he mean by 'waiting for tonight'? Could something unusual happen tonight?" Wu Chen asked again.

"Not tonight, but these few days, as long as they are recruited to be a nursing home, they can't survive the night!"

The person who answered was not Old Servant Yang, but another voice.

Wu Chen turned his head to look.

This is a thin man, probably in his 20s. He is wearing a gray servant's uniform, carrying a bundle of firewood, and his hair is a little messy.

"Can't make it through the night?" Wu Chen looked at this person.

"That's right, those people were scared away in the middle of the night, and they didn't even dare to come back to pick up their own luggage. The money given to them by Grandpa Yuan is considered gray hair." The man replied.

"What about you? Why do you still dare to stay here?" Wu Chen asked.

"I'm also what you call a 'brave man'. As long as you work for a month, you will get ten taels of silver. These are all vain money. I have been working outside for several months! How can I get any other time? Such a good thing!" The man said frankly.

"Then you're not afraid of losing your life?" Wu Chen emphasized.

"As long as you give me money, I have nothing to be afraid of! Besides, this ghost doesn't eat people. In the past few days, although ghosts and ghosts have happened frequently, no one has died because of it." The man shrugged and said.

"You can take it easy." Wu Chen smiled.

But don't say it, there is one thing that this person said coincides with what he thinks.

The reason why he dared to explore the secrets of the haunting here was also because he heard that although he was frightened frequently, no one died because of it.

Otherwise, he might not have the courage to come here.

"By the way, don't you pay attention to your image when you go out?
If I saw you outside, I would probably think of you as a beggar.

I'll boil the water right now. You can take a shower first! "

The man said teasingly again.

"Then I'll trouble you." Wu Chen looked down at his clothes and smiled awkwardly.

When he crossed the sea of ​​mist, his clothes were almost burnt, so he was wearing a homemade animal skin suit, which looked like a primitive man. The straw sandals were old shoes given to him by Xinghai, and they really didn’t look too good. decent.
