Ding Xiaoyi's first night in the old house started under the cool shade of the trees.
It's an old-fashioned rocking chair. I don't know how old it is, but judging from the dark brown coating, I guess it's an old thing.
On hand is tonight's simple meal.
A bowl of mutton soup with a noodle pancake.
Of course this is takeaway.
After all, my talent as a chef is limited to instant noodles.
I had seen a secret book on instant noodles online before, but unfortunately I didn’t buy it at the time. Ding Xiaoyi thought it could be developed as a side job.
Although the house is old, the built-in facilities are very modern.
Wireless optical fiber, smart housekeeper, night anti-theft system.
The facilities are no worse than those in high-end residential areas.
What surprised him the most was that the wood used in the beams and corridors here was actually camphor wood.
There are many types of camphor wood, but not many of them can be used as timber.
In addition, the alliance promulgated natural laws very early on, strictly prohibiting the mining of trees in the alliance area.
In particular, ancient trees that are hundreds of years old are all documented and contain nano-level signal transmitters.
Once someone dares to mine privately, the Alliance police detective will give you a cup of hot coffee, a pair of shining silver handcuffs, and a luxury cell package the next day.
It is for this reason that the price of wooden furniture is now exaggerated and scary.
Just like the piece of golden nanmu mentioned before, it is only the size of one side.
The price made the old man feel pain for a long time.
Although camphor wood is not as exaggerated as golden nanmu, it is still valuable.
Surprisingly, most of the wood in this old house is camphor wood.
While this surprised Ding Xiaoyi, he also had a new understanding of Grandma Zhang's identity and financial resources.
You know, when I was still studying outside, I participated in an auction two years ago.
A set of camphorwood armchairs sold for 600,000 alliance coins.
It's just a set of chairs.
Sure enough, the old city is really a place full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
Except for the old man who sweeps the floors of ten floors to collect rent.
Just like Aunt Zhang, an old lady who is crazy about her wealth, she might just pick up a drink bottle or something next to you.
Because of the camphor wood, even in the hot summer, Ding Xiaoyi was not bitten by mosquitoes while lying in the yard.
Although the wind is still a bit warm, it's not much better than outside. At least lying down there doesn't need to turn on the air conditioner.
Two dense trees made the sound of flapping leaves as the wind blew.
It's a pleasure to listen to.
Ding Xiaoyi held her mobile phone and ordered the Dezhou tool box she wanted on a professional engineering website.
In addition to the tool box, there are various items needed to modify the engine.
Such as inverters, motors, high energy reserve batteries, etc... there are so many messy things.
Fortunately, these things are not expensive.
Eighteen thousand alliance coins were spent before and after.
At this time, your high-level credit limit will show its value.
I used to often order various mechanical parts.
Due to the ratio of parts to parts, the price of these parts is very high.
Each transaction will bring him a lot of credit limit, and over time, he has the high-level credit limit he has now.
With a high-level credit limit, you can enjoy many privileges, including cash on delivery, and no deposit is required.
Although the Ding family went bankrupt and their assets were liquidated, the credit limit of their online accounts was not included in the liquidation list.
This is an intangible asset.
This is also one of the reasons why he doesn't want to be an old man.
After all, one blacklisting is enough to clear your credit limit instantly.
Various benefits have been cancelled, and travel, consumption, and everything else will be restricted.
Basically, in the league, after being labeled as a lao lai, this person will basically be stuck in the mud for the rest of his life.
This is just the beginning.
Including your children, they will also be subject to great restrictions.
This restriction is enough to give you no hope of advancement for the next three generations.
This is the most terrifying problem.
So don't think that this kind of thing is only your own business. In the Union Act, this is one of the few punishments that have the nature of sitting together.
After buying the tools, you need to buy more equipment yourself.
Take the water pump in front of you, for example.
A high-power and efficient water pump is also a military product.
To put it simply, a swimming pool can be drained in five minutes.
But the problem is...it's too expensive.
Looking at the price, Ding Xiaoyi thought it would be enough to just take a look.
It is not difficult for him to take out such a large sum of money. He has plenty of gold.
But buying it would cause a lot of trouble.
Let’s consider the issue of gold first.
Even if you cut the gold into pieces yourself and sell it in more than ten gold shops in the old city.
But the sudden production of so much gold on the market will inevitably attract all kinds of unnecessary attention.
As far as I know, those small gold shops all have a network of relationships with each other, and in the end there is only one network of relationships.
People can find out about themselves by simply exchanging information.
Secondly, civilians can purchase such military products, but they will be subject to supervision and review.
This is even more troublesome.
Of course, low-power civilian water pumps are still very cheap.
Place an order to buy a relatively good water pump, and today's task will be completed.
Stretch.
At this time, a cool breeze blew in my face, and a wave of fatigue suddenly hit me like a tide.
It was as if I felt sleepy all of a sudden.
Ding Xiaoyi's double eyelids struggled a few times, then closed them tightly.
That is to say, as soon as I close my eyes and open my eyes again, half an hour has passed.
Shaking his head, he got up from the chair and prepared to go back to the house to sleep.
He doesn't plan to go back to hell today.
The place had just experienced a flood, and the bed was still wet. There was no place to sleep when we got back.
Besides, how can I not enjoy the old house with 1,000 alliance coins per month?
Ding Xiaoyi did not stay in the old lady's master bedroom.
Although that room is very luxurious.
But after all, I have lived there for many years, and I always feel uncomfortable when I lie down in it.
Pushing open the side room guest room, the room in front of you is also made of wooden furniture.
Grandma Zhang had already cleaned up the house and left nothing behind.
But basically all the furnishings and objects still maintain their original appearance.
An Eight Immortals table.
Small wooden pier chair.
The dressing table next to the bed.
And that retro canopy bed.
There are two pots of spider plants in the house, which add a lot of vitality to the whole room.
The furnishings are very simple, but it is not difficult to see the simple and elegant taste of this grandmother Zhang.
But elegance is elegance, and every piece of furniture here is not cheap.
"This is all money."
Ding Xiaoyi slapped his palm on the head of the bed, making a deep muffled sound.
Solid wood furniture is indeed different.
Speaking of which, compared to this kind of environment, these 1,000 January alliance coins are almost the same as being given for free.
At this time, Ding Xiaoyi was a little doubtful as to why Grandma Zhang was willing to rent the house to herself like this.
Aren't you afraid that you will secretly sell off all the furniture in the house?
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, let's go to bed first..."
The sleepiness is getting thicker and thicker, and Ding Xiaoyi doesn't want to waste any more of his brain cells.
As soon as he lay down on the bed, he fell asleep in a daze.
He didn't know how long he had been sleeping with his eyes closed, but suddenly... a crisp sound of "click!" made Ding Xiaoyi's claustrophobic eyelids beat uneasily.
Then the sound gradually became clearer.
"clatter…"
"Da da…"
"Da da da……"
The footsteps are getting faster and faster.
Ding Xiaoyi, who was already asleep, had his ears twitching slightly with the sound.
My heart felt like it was being pinched by a big invisible hand.
His eyes opened quietly in the night, and he glanced at the door alertly.
The tiredness and fatigue that had originally been there were instantly swept away.
"No way."
The familiar voice made Ding Xiaoyi suspect that he was hallucinating.
Could it be said that I will encounter this kind of thing every time I come back from Huangquan?
He did not get up from the bed immediately, but slowed down his breathing and listened quietly with his ears raised.
In the dark room, the only light source was the dim light falling from the window.
It may be due to the camphor wood that in this hot summer, no cicada chirping can be heard in the yard.
In the lifeless room, the only sound was his own slow but powerful heartbeat.
The only sound was his own nasal breathing.
"No?"
After waiting for a while, the sound just now was no longer heard.
This made Ding Xiaoyi wonder if he was so nervous that he heard wrongly.
Or maybe just like the previous times, I just had a nightmare.
Just when Ding Xiaoyi was suspicious of the voice he just heard.
"Squeak..."
The wooden door in front of me was quietly pushed open.
With the faint light shining in from the crack of the door.
The shadow of a pair of shoes on the ground was stretched.
"I……"
Suddenly, Ding Xiaoyi felt a breath in his chest and felt the urge to curse.
This shit is never over, right?
Forget it last time, we all met by chance. No matter whether you are a psychic creature or not, you will be scared to death.
I almost died at the hands of that robber.
Come again this time?
Ding Xiaoyi suppressed the anger in his chest, silently pulled up his quilt and covered his head, leaving a gap to look outside.
He is no coward.
This time I had such a rich experience in the underworld that I almost drowned in the underworld by that woman.
I have seen so many great products again.
Whether it's the fleshy ball of an iron mayfly or the bronze sword.
That one is better than a pair of shoes.
Even if they are psychic creatures, aren't they just a pair of shoes?
This person was either scared to death in extreme fear, or exploded in fear.
Ding Xiaoyi obviously belongs to the latter, and this is also because he has seen a lot in Huangquan.
"clatter……"
At this time, Ding Xiaoyi glanced through the gap, saw the pair of bright red high heels outside the door, and gently reached into the door.
The bright mirror-like upper is still very eye-catching in dim light.
After one foot of the shoe entered the door, the other foot followed closely.
"Da da da…"
Under the gap between the quilt, Ding Xiaoyi's eyes were firmly locked on the shoes walking towards him.
As the shoes gradually came closer, a cold light flashed in Ding Xiaoyi's eyes.
He silently counted the distance between him and his shoes.
"Five steps...ta...four steps...ta..."
The bright red high heels became lighter and lighter as I walked, as if I was walking on tiptoes.
"Three steps..."
Gudong... Ding Xiaoyi swallowed a mouthful of spit and felt that his throat was a little dry.
But the vamps that were getting closer and closer in front of him made his heart beat faster involuntarily.
His legs were curled up slightly, and his body was as tense as a spring.
"Two steps..."
At this moment, the shoes suddenly stopped in front of Ding Xiaoyi.
"Right now…"
The moment he looked at the shoes, Ding Xiaoyi's tense muscles were like an exploding gun barrel, and he raised the quilt in his hand and pounced on it.
A large quilt covers the upper part of the shoes.
It seems that even this pair of high heels did not expect that Ding Xiaoyi would take the initiative to fall on them.
"Puff puff……"
The quilt kept rising and falling, and the high heels began to struggle fiercely.
"It's endless, right?"
But how could Ding Xiaoyi give it a chance to come out? He grabbed the chair in front of the dressing table with both hands.
This chair made of solid wood weighs at least five or six kilograms.
Ding Xiaoyi raised his hands above his head and hit him hard.
With a "bang" sound, the chair was smashed into pieces.
Under the sound of breaking, the noisy quilt suddenly calmed down.
"Is this the end?"
Looking at the calm quilt in front of him, Ding Xiaoyi felt speechless.
It would be a bit of a fantasy for a psychic creature to be crushed to death by himself with a bench.
Ding Xiaoyi quietly opened a corner of the quilt and glanced at it.
His face was temporarily covered with a thick layer of gloom.
The shoes... are missing!
Escaped? Or...
When Ding Xiaoyi couldn't figure it out, he suddenly felt a biting coldness on his feet and looked down.
I didn’t know when I had put on those bright red shoes on my feet...
