I'm catching monsters in Liaozhai

Chapter 23 Why Don't You Dare

When Xu Lang returned to Baishen Temple again, he had purchased a large number of daily necessities and some food.

He also hired a porter to help deliver it.

Everything in the house was burned, and he had to buy new daily necessities.

Now, he has more than one hundred taels of silver on him, and he is not short of this money at all.

"Brother, just leave the things here. Thank you for your hard work."

After sending the porters away, Xu Lang called out to Lao Bai: "Lao Bai, come out and help clean up."

There is free labor around him, so he will not let it go easily.

"coming!"

Lao Bai walked out of the cave and transformed into a human form.

Although he verbally shouted that he wanted to move, in the end he still couldn't make up his mind and couldn't let go of everything here.

In addition to the main room in the center of the White Temple, there are two side rooms next to it. Xu Lang chose a relatively clean room on the left.

After simple cleaning, you can move in.

Looking at the made mattress, Xu Lang was very satisfied.

He took out two small horses and a small table and motioned for Lao Bai to sit down.

Then he took out a jar of wine and two roast chickens wrapped in oil paper from a package.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Xu Lang handed Lao Bai a roast chicken.

"How embarrassing is this!"

Lao Bai excused himself.

But those golden eyes, as well as the moaning that was about to flow out, were real.

He has eaten roast chicken.

But not much.

This thing is an absolute luxury for him.

Although the villagers of Baimiao Village usually offer some tributes, most of them are coarse grains or pig head meat.

But there was no roast chicken.

After all, for villagers, chickens are kept at home to lay eggs, but they are reluctant to slaughter them.

He remembered that the last time he ate roasted chicken, he accidentally picked up a couple of silver coins while hunting frogs on the roadside, and then sneaked out to buy roasted chicken...

As an upright and honest rat fairy, he has always adhered to the principle of neither stealing nor robbing, and being self-reliant.

Of course, the money picked up on the roadside was given to him by God, which was different.

"Take it."

Xu Lang directly stuffed the oil paper bag into his hand.

"Then I won't be polite."

Lao Bai smiled.

A smile as bright as a chrysanthemum.

The half-opened oil paper bag exuded the aroma of roasted chicken, and the word "fragrant" was very good.

He was already very greedy.

He ripped off a big chicken leg.

Go, go, go-

Ok.

The chicken is tender and melts in your mouth.

It tastes great.

"drink wine."

Xu Lang poured a bowl of wine for him and then poured it for himself.

The two clinked glasses.

Although it is just ordinary rough brewing, it has a unique taste after entering the throat.

Xu Lang bought three roast chickens in total.

He and Lao Bai each had one, and there was only one left.

After he had eaten and drank enough, he carried the remaining roast chicken, a jar of wine, and some rice to Aunt Bai's house.

Just got to the door.

It happened that Aunt Bai had just come back from outside, and there was a man following her.

This man Xu Lang has some impression. He seems to be from a nearby village, but I don't know his name.

"Xiao Lang, I was just looking for you. This is Lao Wang next door, a famous craftsman nearby..."

Aunt Bai introduced the man, and then Xu Lang, "Old Wang, this is Xu Lang, a great talent in our Baimiao Village. His family is going to build a house."

"Uncle Wang!"

Xu Lang greeted Lao Wang next door enthusiastically, and then said to Aunt Bai: "Auntie, I just went out and bought some food."

With that said, Xu Lang handed the roasted chicken rice to Aunt Bai.

"Is the pork you bought in the morning still there? Why did you buy so many things again? It's really a waste of money. Next, you have to build a house, but it will cost a lot of money."

Aunt Bai said with a slightly annoyed tone.

They are all ordinary people. Xu Lang must have spent a lot of money this time.

Xu Lang knew that Aunt Bai was concerned about it, so he said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it won't cost much. Besides, money has to be spent."

To build a house, it only costs a few dozen taels of silver at most.

It's not like he's building a big house.

"Old Wang, Xiaolang bought pork this morning and now he's roasting chicken. I'll go get some dishes for you to eat first. After you're full, we'll go and see the house."

Aunt Bai said.

Xu Lang originally planned to leave after delivering the things, but he didn't expect Aunt Bai to move so quickly. She just happened to find the person who built the house. He would later discuss the matter of building the house with Lao Wang next door.

In this situation, it is naturally impossible to leave.

At Aunt Bai's request, Xu Lang had another meal at Aunt Bai's house.

However, he was already full, so he ate some with them as a token gesture.

I also had a little drink with Uncle Bai and Lao Wang next door.

After Lao Wang next door had eaten and drank enough, Xu Lang took him to his house.

This time when Lao Wang next door came, he mainly surveyed the situation to see how much building materials were needed and made a rough estimate.

"Uncle Wang, I don't have any requirements. I just want the house to be built as soon as possible. The money is not bad."

Xu Lang gave Lao Wang 30 taels of silver as a deposit, and the rest will be paid in one lump sum when the house is collected.

"Okay, then I'll make arrangements as soon as possible and find a few more people to build it together."

Lao Wang next door smiled and left with the money.

Xu Lang did not go back to Baishen Temple directly, but returned to Aunt Bai's house.

"Xiaolang, it costs a lot of money to build a house. Do you have enough money now? If not, I and I will use the money we have to build a house for you." Aunt Bai said.

"Honey, give the money to Xiaolang!" Uncle Bai said.

"Auntie, uncle, I have enough money to build a house..."

Xu Lang was very moved.

Aunt Bai's family treated him like a family member.

Xu Lang chatted with the two for a while before getting up and leaving.

at this time.

sunset.

It's almost dusk.

On the loess road, a man was riding a fast horse in the direction of Baimiao Village, with billowing dust and smoke rising behind him.

Xu Lang walked to the end of the village and met the visitor head-on.

"Wow—!"

The visitor reined in his horse and stopped.
