I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

Yards like this kind of front and back yards have always been the most sought-after, and the rent is relatively high.

If eight taels of silver can really be rented, it is simply a matter of falling from the sky.

"Come on, take me to see it."

"Isn't it? Are you really brave enough to rent?"

"Le Ping, we are all scholars. We look up to heaven and earth, and we have grandeur in our chests. Even if there are ghosts, why should we be afraid?"

Hearing this, He Yongliang couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Speaking is better than singing."

"Forget it if you don't go, take North Street, right? I'll go by myself."

"Forget it, since you are not afraid, then I will go all out."

The county seat is not big, and the two arrived at Zhaobei Street not long after they left.

Although this street is not the main street of the county, it is relatively popular, with rouge shops, grocery stores, taverns, inns, etc. row upon row.

According to such an environment, under normal circumstances, the rent of that courtyard is not to mention 20 taels a year, at least a dozen taels.

After walking for a while, I saw the courtyard.

From the outside, the courtyard is quite impressive, except for the three shops, there is another door on the right leading to the courtyard.

After observing for a while, Gu Ming couldn't help asking: "Is there a way to go in and have a look?"

"I heard that the key is with the treasurer of the tavern opposite."

"Go and ask."

When I entered the tavern and asked, the shopkeeper really had the key.

However, the other party was also sincere and said bluntly: "I am also entrusted by others, so I have my words first.

The owner of the house moved back to the countryside because the yard was not clean and he had to find someone to do a ritual and still not solve the problem.

There were many people who wanted to rent it before, but none of them were successful, and you should be able to guess the reason.”

"It's okay, you open the door, let's have a look first."

"Row!"

The shopkeeper responded, took out the key and told a clerk to open the door.

"Okay, you two can watch as you please, and I won't go in."

The guy seemed a little frightened, and ran back to the tavern without saying a word.

"Brother Xing, please go first!"

Meng Yongliang showed a rare respectful attitude.

"coward!"

Gu Ming muttered something, then strode in.

But at the same time, another thought occurred to him, and he had a writing brush in his hand out of thin air.

Be careful!

After all, the last time I saw a ghost in Lanruo Temple in broad daylight.

Perhaps it was the reason why the sun had not been seen for a long time. Not to mention the darkness in the shop, there was also a chill that soaked into the bone marrow.

Fortunately, Gu Ming's eyes and ears are sharp, and he got used to it for a while before he could vaguely see the environment in the shop.

Judging from the left and right, it used to be a pharmacy.

The storefront is square and square, so there is nothing to be picky about.

Passing through the shop is the back hall.

After passing through the back hall, the light finally brightened, and what appeared before us was the front yard.

The yard has been covered with weeds, and it looks extremely desolate.

On the left is a row of wing rooms of different sizes, a total of six rooms.

The backyard is slightly smaller, so it is more appropriate to say that it is a garden.There are rockery, pools, and a small gazebo.

In addition, there are three wing rooms.

"Huh? What are you doing with the brush?"

He Yongliang realized it later, and asked in a fuss.

"It's nothing, take courage."

Gu Ming said something perfunctory, then looked around again, and nodded with satisfaction: "This place is so suitable!"

For a while, he had a bold idea about the previously planned plan.

Since there is such a yard, it is too wasteful to only use it to run the study.

At that time, you can also prepare some good wine, good tea and so on, so that those people and poets can come here to meet and communicate.

To apply a word from the previous life: learning salon.

Of course, drinks are not free, you have to pay.

"Stop making trouble, I shouldn't have told you about this place."

He Yongliang glanced around guiltily, always feeling cold on his neck and cold on his body.

This place must not be rented.

Even if you rent it, you will not live here if you are killed!

Chapter 21 The new jujube tree is trembling

Reminder: there is a new task

A message suddenly appeared in Gu Ming's mind.

Subconsciously click on the task interface, only to find that it is a special task of the system:

Explore the truth of the haunted house and solve it

Reward: 20 points

Seeing the mission requirements, Gu Ming couldn't help but secretly smiled bitterly.

It seemed that his every move was being monitored by the system.

What about privacy between people?

Well, systems are not people.

Of course, tasks with points cannot be missed.

Moreover, even if there is no such task, Gu Ming still intends to find out.

After all, eight taels of silver can rent this courtyard is really worth a thousand dollars, and doing the task is nothing more than a matter of going along with the flow.

So, he immediately took over the task and turned his head with a smile: "Brother Le Ping, I'll go buy some good wine and food in a while."

"What do you want?"

He Yongliang's sphincter muscles tightened, and a feeling of uneasiness suddenly surged.

"The long night is not as good as the two of us tonight"

He Yongliang immediately jumped up: "Impossible, even if you invite me to eat dragon meat, drink fairy dew, humiliate me with money, and beat me to death with your fists today, I can't stay here overnight."

"Look, it was you who offered to spend the night in this courtyard."

"It's so fragrant!"

At night, He Yongliang ate meat while drinking.

"Nonsense, the so-called dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat in the ground"

He Yongliang said in a bad mood: "Come here, eat what you eat, when will the five taels of silver you promised me be honored?"

If it weren't for the sake of five taels of silver, he wouldn't have spent the night here even if he was killed.

"What's the hurry? When the study opens and makes money, you will be indispensable."

"Why do I always have a feeling of being cheated?"

After drinking, he talked too much, became more courageous, and the time passed quickly.

Before you know it, midnight falls, and Yin Qi strikes.

"woooooo"

Suddenly, there was a faint cry like a woman's.

"My mother..." He Yongliang was startled, most of the alcohol lost in an instant, and he said in a trembling voice: "Xing, that shopkeeper didn't lie to us, this yard is really not clean."

"Shhh, talk!"

Gu Ming listened for a while, then got up and walked out of the room to follow the sound.

The cry echoed faintly in the ears, but there was no one in the courtyard, only a large tent of weeds and a tall jujube tree.

After listening for a while again, Gu Ming's eyes slowly moved up

Eventually, stay where the trunk is near the top.

On a thick branch of a tree, a woman sat horizontally on it, covering her face and sobbing.

Why is it a female ghost again?

Gu Ming frowned, not feeling nervous at all.

After all, she is not a chick anymore, and she already had experience dealing with female ghosts in Lanruo Temple last time.

Not to mention, I also learned two skills this time, so I have more confidence in my heart.

At this time, the female ghost seemed to sense Gu Ming's eyes, and then she glanced down.

"Hey, what are you in a daze for?"

He Yongliang didn't dare to stay in the room alone, so he ran out and followed Gu Ming's line of sight to look up for a while.

Except for the branches, there is a dim moon.

"It's nothing." Gu Ming said perfunctorily, and took a few steps forward with a brush in hand.

The female ghost also flew down lightly, and stood under the tree, with a heavy yin energy all over her body.

From the looks of it, he was afraid of a disagreement, so he had to do it.

"Girl, don't panic"

Based on the mentality that peace is the most important thing, and that you can talk but never do anything, Gu Ming began to comfort him softly.

"Xing, who are you talking to?"

Before the female ghost could answer, He Yongliang was so startled that his hairs stood on end, and his voice changed in fright.

But he quickly dispelled the confusion.

"Who are you? Are you here to collect me?"

The chill in the female ghost's eyes grew stronger, and her hair began to flutter, dancing like little snakes.

"No, no, no, we are just scholars. You see, we don't carry amulets or swords, and we only have a writing brush in our hands."

Well, that's true.

But the brush is his weapon.

"Students? Then what are you doing here?"

"To be honest, I actually want to rent this yard. It's just that some people say that the yard is coughing, and the girl should know better than me."

"After all, do you still want to drive me away?"

"That's not true, I just want to help you out of kindness.

As far as I know, the girl has not harmed anyone, there must be some special reason for being trapped here."

Hearing these words, the female ghost seemed to remember something sad, her eyes turned red, and she began to sob again.
