But when Li Sheng and his wife returned home, they felt more and more strange the more they thought about it. They tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. They finally stayed up until dawn the next day, and both of them had black eyes.
After a hasty breakfast, Li Sheng went out to work on his livelihood, while Li Sheng's wife went to visit her neighbor Liu Yuan's house.
Since Jiuquli became haunted half a year ago, households have moved out one after another, but there are still two families left, theirs and the Liu family.
Both families started off by doing business. Although the business was not big, they had accumulated some wealth over the decades, so they bought a house in Jiuquli.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Not long after I bought the house, Jiuquli began to be haunted. Those who rented the house naturally moved quickly, but those who bought the house spent most of their life savings, so how could they abandon the house.
Although they wanted to sell the house and move out, the house prices plummeted, and no one was willing to buy it. So the two families combined and decided to continue living there.
When they arrived at Liu Yuan's house, Liu Yuan also went out to do business. Liu Yuan's wife welcomed Li Sheng's wife into the house. Before Li Sheng's wife could speak, she hurriedly asked: "I heard you talking last night. You went to the opposite door."
?What do you see?"
Li Sheng's daughter-in-law was immediately started chatting, and she was gesticulating in amazement, "The yard is really beautiful, with pavilions, water pavilions, and flowers. Moreover, there is a gentle breeze in the yard. It is very comfortable, just like spring. It is not like our yard, which is lifeless."
It’s like a graveyard.”
Liu Yuan's wife was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat, "You are too courageous, how dare you go? That house is haunted and it is evil. In this case, it must be even more evil. In this summer, where does spring come from?"
I just went out last afternoon, but within two-quarters of an hour, when I came back, the alley had changed. I was almost frightened to death. I hid in my room all night and didn't dare to go out. Liu Yuan and I didn't even have dinner.
"
Li Sheng's daughter-in-law was a little frightened by what she said at first, and her heart was pounding. But then she thought about what she saw last night, and advised Liu Yuan's daughter-in-law, "It's okay, I saw that family last night, a family of seven, a couple with four
There are two children and an old man who fled from Shuzhou."
He added: "And haven't a lot of people been visiting their house recently? If it were a ghost, it would have seduced the souls of those people, and it would be my turn to come."
After saying this, Li Sheng's wife suppressed her fear and murmured: "We usually see several children coming in and out, and a couple. They look like normal people."
"Since they dare to go out in broad daylight, how can they be ghosts? Anyway, I think they are fine. The problem is the house. It's just that they are outsiders and didn't know the situation in advance, so they lived in it by accident.
."
Liu Yuan's wife thought for a while and suddenly felt happy, "Since this alley is no longer haunted, can the house prices also rise?"
When Li Sheng's daughter-in-law was reminded by her, she clapped her hands happily and said, "Yes, you have to tell Qian Laoer about this. Are you going out today? Why don't you follow me to Qian Laoer and ask him to re-evaluate the house?"
"
The more Liu Yuan's daughter-in-law thought about it, the more excited she became, "I will go to the flower and bird market to buy some flowers and plants. Everything that can wither in my courtyard has withered. Looking at these withered things every day, people will age a lot."
Li Sheng's wife also thought it was a good idea and urged Liu Yuan's wife to change clothes quickly. Then they went out together and went to find Qian Laoer first.
The two of them were lucky. Maybe it was so early in the morning that no guests came to the door, but Qian Laoer happened to be at home.
Qian Laoer is a house runner, especially in such a special place as Jiuquli, so he naturally knows the two of them. When he saw the two of them coming together, he thought they were finally going to move out and sell the house, so he took them to the house.
Please come into the main room and sit down to have tea, while you think about what places are suitable for these two people to rent.
Unexpectedly, Li Sheng's wife asked him to re-evaluate the house as soon as she opened her mouth. Qian Laoer was a little surprised.
"Revaluation? Why is this?" He revalued the house in Jiuquli just two months ago, but that time it was a price reduction, because almost everyone knew that Jiuquli was haunted.
People will buy it. According to Qian Laoer's guess, that place may become an abandoned house in the future.
Li Sheng's daughter-in-law and Liu Yuan's daughter-in-law looked at each other and smiled, then they said with joy, "It's no longer haunted. If you don't believe me, go and see. All the flowers, plants and trees in the alley are alive."
And the new family that recently moved there, didn’t they live in that haunted house, but now that house is no longer haunted. I went to see it in person last night, and the garden was full of spring scenery.”
"Oh? Is there anything else?" Qian Laoer was a little surprised. The haunted house was sold to a new family just the day before, but it is no longer haunted today?!
He pondered for a moment and then said: "Then I will take the time to take a look today. If there is really no more trouble, the house price will rise a little, but it will certainly not rise too much. After all, everyone knows about the haunting. You just go out now."
If there is no fuss anymore, not many people will want to rent or buy it.”
Li Sheng's wife and Liu Yuan's wife were both a little disappointed. They originally bought the house for more than three hundred taels, but now it has dropped by more than half. How can they not feel sad?
Liu Yuan's daughter-in-law was thinking about the flower and bird market, so she suggested: "You might as well tell the other homeowners in Jiuquli to pull out all the dead flowers and plants in the yard and plant them again. When they come back to life, the house prices will not be too high."
It will go up.
With the current state of decay, even if someone wanted to live there, they wouldn't be happy."
Qian Laoer said with a smile: "Don't worry, the more expensive the house price is, the higher my commission will be. I will definitely be happy to let the house price go up. Don't worry, madam, I will slowly take people to see it in the future to spread the news."
If word spreads, the house prices will naturally rise slowly."
Li Sheng's daughter-in-law and Liu Yuan's daughter-in-law finally felt at ease. They had been depressed for more than half a year. Now they finally had a feeling of clearing up the clouds. They couldn't wait to wipe away all the decadence in the family, so they said goodbye to Qian Laoer and went to the flower and bird market.

At that time in Taoyaju, one of Hongtao and Shi'an went out to look for death, and the other went out to set up a street stall. Old man Xu went to the countryside early in the morning, and only the lame Zhufeng and eight-year-old Qingyu were left in the house.
Zhufeng had nothing to do, so he lay under the grape trellis, tossing and turning in boredom. Then he saw Qingyu reading a book seriously under the shade of a tree, and couldn't help but wonder: "Junior Sister, what are you reading?"
Qingyu sealed the book and showed it to him, "This folklore book is quite interesting. Senior brother, do you want to read it? I have a few more here."
Zhufeng waved his hands and shook his head. He looked at his swollen instep and sighed, "If this were the past, a pill could cure the disease, so there would be no need to lie down and recuperate."
Qingyu looked up when he heard this, "I still have two medicinal fruits here."
Zhufeng shook his head, "If it's not symptomatic, the medicine and fruit can strengthen the body and strengthen the body."
Qingyu put down the book, took out the last two medicinal fruits from the side hall of Xuannv Palace, and came to Zhufeng, "I mean, can this medicinal fruit be planted?"
Zhufeng was stunned for a moment, then stood up, surprised and happy: "You are right, you can plant it. As long as the seeds are not bad, you can plant them. Please show me quickly."
Qingyu handed him the medicinal fruit.
Zhufeng took a look at it twice, feeling happy and proud, "The medicinal fruits grown by me, Zhufeng Medicine Fairy, are indeed of excellent quality." He held a handful of medicinal fruits in his hand again, extremely excited, "I can grow them.
There is nothing that cannot be grown in my hands."
Then Yigulu stood up and said, "Let's go shopping now. I want to make fertilizer. This medicinal fruit is different from the grass and trees in this world. It cannot be grown in ordinary soil."
