Chapter 49 Neighbors
-
Once you have a plan in mind, it is easy to implement.
Gu Jinli left the psychedelic forest and came to the town at the foot of the mountain. She found Fang Ya and learned about the housing conditions in the city.
“This is really the lowest…”
I originally thought that a big client had come, but he actually asked for the cheapest house.
Fang Ya recommended a few with a stern smile, but none of them satisfied Gu Jinli.
"I want the cheapest one."
After a pause, Gu Jinli hinted, "As long as the price is right, even if someone has died, that's fine."
As the saying goes, the cheapest houses are mostly haunted houses~ She is not afraid of this.
"Has anyone died?"
It was the first time that Fang Ya heard such a weird request, and he was speechless.
Others are very superstitious about this when looking for a house, for fear that it will affect the feng shui of their home and attract dirty things.
This girl looks young but she is quite courageous.
"I do have a request for you, but..."
"Just what?" Gu Jinli asked.
"This family may have offended someone before, and they were killed overnight. Nearly a hundred people were killed."
After a pause, Fang Ya said bluntly, "All the people who lived nearby have left. The cheapest houses in the city are all over there. If you want, I'll take you to see them."
In fact, the few cheap houses I just told Gu Jinli about are near that house. Although they are close, they are not the crime scene after all, so they can be rented out occasionally.
But judging from Gu Jinli's current expression, I'm afraid she just wants to go to the haunted house.
He really values money over life.
"That's it! What's the price?"
When Gu Jinli heard that so many people died in this haunted house, her eyes lit up.
Although it was a bit immoral, this kind of house was exactly what she was looking for.
The more ominous the house is, the cheaper it is, and the layout should not be bad either.
As for those ghosts and gods and whether she would be targeted by some dirty creatures, that was not within her consideration.
"You girl..."
You really have to choose! Don't even look at it.
Fangya was shocked.
"It's fine."
Waving her hands, seeing Fang Ya's hesitation, Gu Jinli said straightforwardly: "I have a strong life."
Fang Ya: “…”
…
Renting the haunted house solved the accommodation problem, and Gu Jinli finally settled down in the town.
Then she and her treasures lived their own lives behind closed doors.
The heroine has the Tower of Babel watching over her, so she has nothing to worry about.
Gu Jinli only needs to enjoy another ten years of peace and stability, and then she can die.
Yes.
She has figured it out.
If you don't complete the task, you will die when it expires.
This time of loading the game can be considered as stealing ten years of time for her.
Before the system reminds her, she can continue to live recklessly.
-
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
During these three months, Gu Jinli's cultivation went exceptionally smoothly and he was completely settled down in the town.
I have to say that the yard she rented at a low price is extremely comfortable.
First of all, this is a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits, divided into the front yard, the middle yard and the back yard. The one that Gu Jinli likes most is the front courtyard, which has a large rockery and a lotus pond.
Although the lotus flowers are not in bloom now, Gu Jinli can already imagine the grand spectacle of them blooming at that time.
It would be lonely if you lived alone in such a big yard.
Especially since it is a haunted house, it is inevitable to have wild thoughts.
But Gu Jinli brought a group of treasures, all of whom were eloquent and lively, which just filled the feeling of emptiness in the courtyard.
Not only that, these treasures are exceptionally good at gathering information and exploring, and they often gather together to exchange gossip with each other.
And every time this happened, Gu Jinli couldn't help but come over and listen with great interest.
"Have you heard?"
"I heard it, I heard it. Last night the city lord had a nightmare and wet his bed. This morning he got so angry that he struck his bed thirteen times in a row. The bed collapsed and attracted several people to watch. He became famous just by peeing."
"It's not that. There's also something else going on in the street next door."
"Oh yes, the daughter of the bun shop in the next street was found not to be his biological daughter, and his biological daughter turned out to be the daughter of the richest man. She just married the county magistrate last year..."
"I know. It must be a case of a man riding a horse in public and falling off a horse and becoming a fool. The man was trampled by the horse's hooves and lost his male body. Now he is looking for a doctor everywhere..."
"Tsk, you deserve it for riding a horse in the street!"
…
You and I are gossiping, and once we start, we can't stop.
Gu Jinli sat among this group of gossip-loving treasures, cracking melon seeds with a small plate in her arms.
To be honest, this human city is much more interesting than the demon world.
What about the real and fake daughter, the substitute bride, or the Long Aotian script where my destiny is in my own hands, etc., etc. It has everything.
In comparison, the demon world is much more boring.
Either you kill me today or I provoke you tomorrow. There is no gossip except fighting and killing all day long.
It’s not as varied and interesting as the human world.
"Ali Ali~ Someone is living in the yard next to us!"
After chatting about gossip, they didn't forget the business. The always clingy little bell jumped up and down and said, "I saw when I was climbing over the wall today that the neighbors were packing up and moving! I think someone will be here soon."
"Someone is coming! Finally someone is here!"
"Ari has a neighbor now!"
"You can come over and chat~"
…
After all, the company of treasures cannot compare to that of real people.
Although they didn't say it, these little guys were all very concerned about Gu Jinli.
Now, when they suddenly heard that someone was going to move in next door, they all became excited.
I am sincerely happy for the gods.
"Really? Haven't you heard what kind of person he is?"
Gu Jinli picked up some melon seeds and cracked them on his teeth without caring, and said nonchalantly: "They must be a poor family to live next to us."
As the saying goes, the closer to the haunted house, the cheaper it is. Although she now lives in the haunted house, some prejudices can be eliminated to some extent, but human beings' attention to feng shui and fear of ghosts and gods cannot be dispelled in a day or two.
Those who can live nearby are either poor or have other purposes.
"She seems to be a girl from a wealthy family, and she looks sickly."
"I saw her too. She was very beautiful, but too weak."
"Oh yeah, looks about 14 or 15 years old~"
…
Gu Jinli quickly extracted the key information from the treasures' chattering. She raised her eyebrows and was a little curious: "Why would a girl from a wealthy family live here?"
"Fourteen or fifteen years old... Is there anyone around?!"
To be honest, when Gu Jinli first heard Baowu say that a woman came next door, her heart skipped a beat.
She was very worried that it would be the heroine. After all, after they separated from the secret realm in the previous life, that person had chased her to the human world.
Therefore, she was extremely wary of this kind of information about single women and was almost suffering from psychological trauma.
But when he heard Baowu say that the other person was already fourteen or fifteen years old, Gu Jinli secretly breathed a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease.
It is known that the heroine is only nine years old now. Even if she celebrated her birthday during the three months that I was away, she would only be ten years old.
There is a big difference between her and a girl who is fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Yes! There are two big and strong old ladies following him."
"That old lady was really fierce! She scolded the servants who were unloading the goods."
"How scary~Ari."
Taking the opportunity to get into Gu Jinli's arms, Xiao Lingdang shivered a little without forgetting to perform.
“I see.”
Blinking, Gu Jinli was a little curious: "It seems that she is indeed the daughter of a wealthy family. I wonder why she came here."
It stands to reason that the richer you are, the more you care about feng shui and location. If the neighbor next door is really a girl from a wealthy family, why would she come here?
Besides, he sounds unwell.
"I don't know~"
"She looks so weak! She's even coughing up blood."
Because the contact time today was too short, although the treasures overheard some news, they did not stay for long.
"Don't worry, Ari. I'll help you keep an eye on the next door starting tomorrow!"
The willow spirit, which had long developed self-awareness, waved its long tentacles and moved closer to the wall.
Since the distance was exactly diagonal, after trying it out for a while, it had no choice but to lift its roots, break out of the ground and run to the other side.
"Ari, I'll pierce this side from now on."
It quickly buried its roots against the next wall, and naturally kicked away the plants that were originally planted here.
"You~"
Such a scene was as bizarre as an animation, and Gu Jinli was a little dazed when she saw it.
She smiled helplessly and watched the willow spirit extend its tentacles forward.
"Just stand at the door and listen to why she moved in. Don't get involved in anything else."
Still a little worried, Gu Jinli had to take a step back and said, "Don't make random attempts and disturb the other party."
Everyone has their own privacy. She is just interested in the reason why the neighbor moved in. Apart from this, she won't listen to anything else.
"Leave it to me!" The Willow Spirit made a solemn promise.
…
This was soon confirmed when a sickly person moved in next door.
That very night, someone knocked on Gu Jinli's gate from outside.
She opened the door and saw a beautiful and delicate face.
"Hello, cough cough cough..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she started coughing. Clutching her handkerchief, the woman said with difficulty: "I'm the new neighbor next door... cough cough cough... I heard that someone was living here, so I came here specially... cough cough cough."
The slender fingers were as perfect as jade. The woman covered her red lips with a handkerchief and almost choked from coughing.
The servants and old maids who followed behind were terrified. The old maid in dark purple robe hurried forward to support her and finished the rest of the words for her lady.
"My young lady is extremely particular about etiquette. This visit is just to make some acquaintances. Although you are not high-ranking officials, since my young lady is so thoughtful..."
The conversation paused here, and the old woman supported the woman who was about to die, and quickly called out to the people behind her: "Acai, bring the things up."
“Yes.”
Under the old nanny's arrangement, a mountain of things was quickly piled up in front of Gu Jinli's door.
It doesn't look cheap at first glance.
"This is our young lady's intention. I hope you won't refuse it."
After giving the gifts, the old lady seemed to have completed her mission.
"If you need help in the future, please lend a hand, young lady."
After saying this, he turned around and left, supporting the woman who was about to faint.
“…”
Looking at the other person's gradually leaving back, Gu Jinli twitched his mouth: "What is going on!"
From beginning to end, she didn't have time to say a single word.
