When Lu Baiwei asked this, Master Yi became anxious.

"No, I really don't."

He waved his hands anxiously and told Lu Baiwei and the others what had happened in the house.

"It's a long story. It all started with the guy who was tiling your house last night. My brother did a very good job. There was only one room left to be tiled, and he wanted to finish the job in one go."

"We finished work early and left the house. He came down from the roof a little late. It was dark by then."

Master Yi looked frightened and took a deep breath. "Then something strange happened. He couldn't get out of the house and kept going around in circles."

"There was moonlight last night, and the door was clearly right in front of us, but he kept wandering around the corridor and courtyard, and he couldn't get out no matter what."

"The more anxious he got, the harder it was for him to get out of the house. He realized he was trapped in a maze and urinated."

Master Yi explained: "We do this business, and we have some folk remedies passed down by our ancestors, you know them, right? If you encounter a ghost wall, peeing in it or taking off your pants and putting them over your head will definitely work, but this house is evil, so those methods don't work."

"There were ghost lights in the house, and there were strange noises, which scared him to death."

"My brother knelt on the ground and prayed to the gods and Buddhas all night, and finally he got along well with the things in the house. Maybe because they saw that my brother was a pious person and promised not to come here to disturb the gods, those things in the dark did not do anything to him."

"When it was daybreak, he could see the road and finally walked out of the house."

Master Yi concluded: "That's what happened. I'm telling you, I heard about this house before but didn't take it seriously. You guys were really deceived by those unscrupulous people in the street office."

"For those of us in this line of work, we'd rather believe it than not. My brother went back and consulted an expert, who helped him get rid of the evil spirit by stepping over a fire plate."

"Since you were deceived, I won't ask you for the money my brother paid for looking after someone."

"I'd like to charge you less, is that okay with you?"

Master Yi did not lie. The house had indeed been mostly renovated, with only the debris from the renovation left to be cleaned up, and a rotten window. He had someone order a new one, but it had not yet been installed.

Then there is the grape trellis and swing frame that we ordered for the courtyard, but it has not been set up yet.

Regarding this, Master Yi said that he would leave an address and let Lu Baiwei and the others go directly to the store to pick up the ordered windows and wood for the shelves.

On the premise of originally taking 80% of the wages, he reduced his own wages a little bit.

The other party was absolutely unwilling to continue to complete the final repair work. He Ting and his friends discussed it and decided to make a good relationship with him. They did not make things difficult for him and directly settled the wages.

When Lu Baiwei and Tang Yunling picked up the big brooms and gathered the garbage to be cleaned up in the yard, they settled the wages with Master Yi, and He Ting looked at Zhou Yanfeng.

"Okay, it's time for you to show off your skills."

Zhou Yanfeng shook his head: "I'm still a little short of it. The mechanism of this house is not simple. I haven't figured out the trick yet."

"Why don't we just ignore it for now? We just need to know that this place is not as weird as people say outside. Even if it's just a trick, no one dares to covet this house."

Shen Junqian and He Ting had long guessed that the problem with the house was due to the mechanical device. Tang Yuanyang actually thought that the house was spooky. After all, he had heard too many ghost stories in the countryside. When he heard the conversation between He Ting and Zhou Yanfeng, he looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

He Ting shook his head: "The mechanism still needs to be broken. Weiwei and I will bring the triplets to live here in the future. Don't scare the children."

"As for the fear that the subdistrict office will go back on its word and that someone else is eyeing this house, there's no need to worry. Master Yi hasn't even finished his work, and he's already made a fuss about settling the bill. The neighbors have all watched."

"This matter will surely spread even more outrageously."

I'm afraid no one else can break the mechanism set up by Professor Gu, except for the bad-tempered old man in his family.

Because of the injustice suffered by Tang Yunling, Zhou Yanfeng was determined to confront his father at all costs.

He even thought that the old man suddenly changed his mind and came to Kyoto University to teach because of his daughter Lingling.

He Ting talked about breaking the mechanism, but he still looked hesitant.

As his good brother, He Ting knew what he was thinking.

"If you want your old man to bow his head, you have to let him see your determination to be together."

Zhou Yanfeng thought about it and it was right!

He had to let the old man know that even without their help, he and Lingling could buy a house and settle down outside.

We have to let the old man take a look. Even if he doesn't live in the Zhou family, he still has a place to stay.

"Okay then, you guys go and do your work, I'll go back to school to find my old man."

The weekend is the day that Shen Junqian and Tao Xiaotong agreed to meet. After the house is ready, he can bring Xiaotong here.

Shen Junqian went to the Foreign Languages ​​School to find Tao Xiaotong, while Lu Baiwei and He Ting hurried back to the military compound to see the triplets.

After leaving Bingjiao Hutong and taking the bus, Lu Baiwei asked Shen Junqian, "Did you hear from Xiaotong about Lingling?"

"She's doing fine. She's in school with Xiaotong. Professor Zhou is at the Foreign Languages ​​School. Lingling and Xiaotong have adapted very quickly."

Speaking of Zhao Lingling, Shen Junqian mentioned Liu Zaicheng's recent situation: "I went to the Foreign Languages ​​School to look for Xiaotong last week, and Liu Zaicheng also went to look for Zhao Lingling. We bumped into each other and chatted for a while."

"When Liu Zaicheng heard that we bought a house so quickly, he was surprised and said that if there is such a good thing, he should take him with him next time so that he and Zhao Lingling can also have a place to stay."

"Then he followed Professor Chen Wen and did well in the Agricultural College. He adapted well."

The bus that Shen Junqian was on arrived, and Lu Baiwei waved at him: "When the house is ready, let Lingling and Liu Zaicheng come to play. We are from Xiangyang Brigade, so let's get together."

"Okay, I'll ask Liu Zaicheng to call Guan Xiaoli."

Zhou Yanfeng said that he would take care of the matter at the house, and explained to Tang Yunling that there was no ghost in the house, but there were mechanical devices and formations set up. He would ask someone who knew about this to solve the problem. Tang Yunling was not interested.

Zhou Yanfeng agreed to build the house, and Tang Yunling decided to go to Tang Jingchuan's house with Tang Yuanyang.

When everyone said goodbye at the bus stop and went about their own business, Zhou Yanfeng had already stopped the old man who was planning to return to the military compound at the school.

Because it is the weekend, the school is very empty at this moment.

There was no one around, and Mr. Zhou snorted coldly: "Are you afraid that I will embarrass you in front of others? Are you not going to recognize me?"

"Now he's avoiding people, but he still recognizes me as his grandfather."

Zhou Yanfeng threw out an explosive remark.

"I bought a house in the alley across from the school, and I plan to settle down there with Lingling."

Mr. Zhou was startled.

Then I laughed out of anger.

"You're just bragging. Where did you get the money to buy a house?"

"You just know how to irritate an old man like me."

"I'm not mad at you."

Zhou Yanfeng said provocatively: "If you don't believe me, come with me and see. Hearing is not believing, seeing is believing."

"Hey, are you still trying to provoke me?"

Mr. Zhou was fooled by his trick: "Just watch, I want to see how you can conjure up a house to fool me."
