The next morning
Wei Han, smelling slightly of alcohol, quietly left the pharmacy!
After strolling around the county town and eating three bowls of delicious braised pork noodles at a breakfast stall, I headed for Tianbao Lane.
This is a quiet alley.
There are dozens of families living on both sides.
There were many vendors setting up stalls and selling their wares at the entrance of the alley.
The environment is very quiet and elegant, without the dirtiness and mess of the outer city, and there are no disaster victims gathering in the alleys.
The third small courtyard from the bottom on the right is the property given by Master Pu Xingxian.
Now the title deed has been transferred to Wei Han's name and he can do whatever he wants with it.
The small courtyard is not big. There is a small open space at the entrance, a sickly and withered willow tree, and a well.
There are three main rooms in the front and a kitchen on the left.
At this time, the gifts sent yesterday to congratulate the couple were already piled up in the room.
The small yard has also been swept and looks clean and tidy.
"good!"
Wei Han smiled with satisfaction, but did not stay.
He changed his clothes and went straight to a nearby dental clinic to rent a room.
The shopkeeper saw that he was young but did not look down on him. Instead, he asked with a smile, "Which house do you want to rent? We have many houses in the inner and outer cities for you to choose from, and the prices are also varied. Why don't you let me introduce them to you?"
"No need. I came from afar to seek refuge with my relatives." Wei Han explained casually, "He lives in Tianbao Lane, but there are many people in his family, and I don't feel comfortable living there, so I want to move out and live alone. I wonder if there is a yard in this lane?"
"Yes!" The shopkeeper ordered someone to take out a map and pointed to Tianbao Lane on it and said, "There are 32 households in this lane, 5 of which are for rent and 3 are for sale. You can choose any one."
"If you are still not satisfied, I suggest you choose a house on the riverside street next door. It is close to the inner river, the riverside streets are bustling, willow trees are swaying, and there are pleasure boats passing by from time to time. It is a very suitable place to live!"
"Um!"
Wei Han nodded.
I discovered that the small courtyard Pu Xingxian gave me was No. 17 Tianbao Lane!
There is another store No. 18 on its left which is still vacant.
"How much is the rent for this yard?" Wei Han asked.
"This is an old property owned by a wealthy family in the city. It can be rented or sold. If sold, it's priced at 800 taels, and if rented, it's 23 taels a year." The pawnshop owner replied with a smile.
“So cheap?”
Wei Han was a little surprised.
Although 800 taels is a sky-high price, isn’t this price right for this location?
"You don't know, young master." The shopkeeper sighed, "Since the beginning of winter, due to disasters and rampant bandits, life in Qingshan County has become increasingly difficult. Many wealthy people want to move to the county town, so the housing prices in the city have naturally fallen a lot."
"If it was a house in this area in the past, you couldn't even think about it without more than 1,000 taels, but if you're interested now, it won't be a problem to bargain for a few dozen taels."
Wei Han was quite moved when he heard this.
Now that he had some money in his hands, he naturally didn't want to treat himself badly.
As for why they rented and sold other courtyards even though they already had the small courtyard given by Pu Xingxian, it was just to have more hiding places.
He still understands the principle that a cunning rabbit has three burrows.
As an immortal, one must be extremely cautious and try to be as safe as possible.
What if someone dislikes him and stabs him? What if someone saw that he had become rich and sneaked into the yard in the middle of the night?
In short, it’s not wrong to be careful. His immortal body can only guarantee that most of his injuries can be recovered. What if someone cuts him into pieces in one go, won’t he still be dead?
"Boss, where is this yard?" Wei Han suddenly asked, pointing to a yard along the riverside street.
This courtyard seems to be separated from Tianbao Lane by a street.
In fact, it is just separated by a wall. It is located behind Wei Han’s small courtyard, separated from the courtyard next to him by a wall, and covers an area larger than the two small courtyards.
"This is the property of Liuji Company, and it has just been put up for sale." The shopkeeper introduced with a smile: "Its location is first-rate, right outside the riverside street, you can sit and watch the river flow. There are three main rooms and five secondary rooms, and all kinds of facilities are complete, you can move in and live there right away."
"But the location of this room is so good, the people at Liuji Commercial Bank are very strict about the price, 1,500 taels, not a cent less. If you rent it, it will be more expensive, 50 taels a year."
"Sir, if you have the money, I suggest you buy this place. The price is so low this year. In previous years, you would have to spend more than two thousand taels to buy a house like this."
Wei Han thought for a while after hearing this.
Yesterday, the wealthy families in the city sent very valuable gifts for the sake of the master.
I thought I could buy two yards, but now it seems that’s not a good idea. It’s more cost-effective to rent them.
"Okay!" Wei Han pondered for a moment and said, "I have rented the two courtyards I asked about just now. I will pay two years' rent first, is that okay?"
"Yes, of course!" The shopkeeper suddenly became happy: "I will ask someone to do it right away, please wait for a moment."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper started to greet people!
He ordered people to serve tea and personally took him to see the house.
The attitude is a thousand times more enthusiastic than before.
After a busy period, Wei Han easily rented the two courtyards.
The rent for the riverside courtyard is 100 taels for two years!
The small courtyard in Tianbao Lane costs 46 taels!
The pawnshop gave me a commission of 15 taels!
A total of 161 taels of silver were spent, leaving 1039 taels of silver in cash!
However, looking at the three courtyards, one large and two small, in front of him, Wei Han felt that it was worth it. At least he had a home in this world.
The small courtyard given by Master Pu Xingxian was named Courtyard No. 1 by Wei Han!
The yard next to it was named Yard No. 2 by him!
Finally, the large courtyard by the river was named Courtyard No. 3 by him!
Standing on the wooden attic on the second floor of the large riverside courtyard, he can look down at all three courtyards, and nothing can escape his attention.
"From now on, the three courtyards will be secretly connected together."
"On the surface, I live in Courtyard No. 1, but that's just a disguise. Courtyard No. 2 is also a disguise. In fact, I live in the best Courtyard No. 3."
"Even if there is an enemy surprise attack, this place is well connected and I have more ways to escape, so my safety is much more guaranteed."
Wei Han planned with satisfaction and quickly began the transformation!
First, he hid all his valuables in Yard No. 3, and chose to have his master bedroom in the attic of Yard No. 3 so that he could monitor the enemy from a high vantage point.
In Courtyards No. 1 and No. 2, traps were dug all over the ground, and iron spikes and bamboo sticks were installed inside!
A large number of poisonous weeds were planted in the vegetable garden, and poison powder bags were filled everywhere in the room.
With Wei Han's current medical technology, the poison powder he made would definitely make any intruder drink a pot of water.
"It's a pity that the materials are not complete, otherwise I could have made some strong bows and crossbows, and some deadly poison that kills instantly!"
"Or set up a few more killing traps to make the enemy suffer a fate worse than death!"
"But this is enough for now."
Wei Han worked until the evening.
While admiring his masterpiece, he muttered to himself.
