Chapter 225 Haunted House
What he wanted to see was undoubtedly Gu Chan's painful appearance.
Unexpectedly, Gu Chan didn't do what he wanted. Not only was she not in pain, nor was she angry, she was actually quite happy. Naturally, he couldn't bear it.
In anger, he immediately shouted, "Have you found the killer from the border that I asked you to find last time?"
"Back to the young master, Batman has found him and told him what you wanted. He also promised to kill Gu Changou as soon as possible." The subordinate said.
"Let him take action tonight. I don't want to see that brat acting arrogant and domineering again." Xu Renjie said sinisterly.
The men immediately responded and left.
Xu Renjie gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "Bitch, tonight is the day you die."
After saying that, he temporarily suppressed his anger and continued to lie down and enjoy it.
This side of the commercial street in the refugee area.
At this time, Gu Chan had already led people over. Since she didn't have many friends here, after she came over, she directly found the shop where she bought the wood last time.
The proprietress Liu Heimei was very enthusiastic towards Gu Chan and others. She not only invited everyone to sit down, but also poured each of them a bowl of fragrant rice wine to quench their thirst.
Gu Chan said while drinking rice wine, "Madam boss, if you are familiar with this place, why don't you contact us and see which building or shop is for sale and take us to see it."
"If you want to open a medical clinic, the shop here is not suitable, so you have to buy a small building. After all, you have too many people, and there are a lot of medicinal materials to store." Liu Heimei said cheerfully.
Gu Chan nodded noncommittally.
Liu Heimei immediately called a clerk in the store and asked him to go out to inquire. Then she said, "You can just rest and wait in front of my store. My clerk will bring the person who wants to sell the house to you in a while."
"Thank you, boss lady." Gu Chan politely thanked her.
"You're welcome. You take care of my business so much. It's nothing for me to help you. Besides, the buildings here are generally dilapidated. Even if you buy a new building, it still needs to be repaired. Then you have to find me. !" Liu Heimei said shrewdly.
Gu Chan did not object and agreed with a smile.
Anyway, for her, it doesn't matter where she buys wood to repair her house. Liu Heimei's service was pretty good before. When she comes here to buy wood for the second time, she can get a relatively cheap price, which is a good deal for her.
Liu Heimei can also make money again with her.
Both parties are mutually beneficial and good for each other.
About half an hour later, the man who went to inquire came over with an old man with silver hair.
The old man had a stooped body and was leaning on a tiger-head crutch. He had a sallow complexion and thin muscles. He looked like he was about to die. However, he seemed to be quite famous in the refugee area.
As soon as he came over, the nearby shop owners began to greet him and even called him Bai Lao affectionately.
Gu Chan greeted me politely and said, "Hello, Mr. Bai. My name is Gu Chan. It's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me."
"Alas! Needless to say, the name of your shopkeeper Gu has spread throughout the refugee area. I still know you. Moreover, you also defeated Hua Qianshao and Yan Han last night, and you are even more famous in Zhongyuan City. I admire you too!" Bai Lao praised kindly.
Gu Chan chuckled, feeling a little embarrassed by the praise. Bai Lao cut to the chase and said, "By the way, I heard from this guy that your building in the center of the refugee area was burned down last night, right?"
"Yes! It's the enemy's fault. We are looking for a place now!" Gu Chan said.
"That's just right. I have a four-story building under my name. I just don't know if you guys dare to buy it." Bai Lao said seriously.
Liu Heimei quickly ordered the waiter to bring a chair from the shop and put it behind the old man, helping him sit down tremblingly.
As soon as the old man sat down, Liu Heimei stared at the waiter and cursed secretly, "Why did you bring Mr. Bai here? Can't you find another landlord to come over?"
"There is no suitable one! Only Mr. Bai is willing to sell his building, and I can't help it. Besides, Mr. Bai said that he admires the shopkeeper so much that he insists on coming with me to take a look. No matter what, it's not a good business! "The guy explained in a low voice.
Liu Heimei stared at him helplessly and said no more.
When Gu Chan and others saw the two of them whispering to each other there, they immediately felt that something was fishy.
Mr. Bai didn't shy away from anything, and said straightforwardly, "I'm not lying to you either. My building is at the end of this commercial street, and there is a big yard outside. It was built when I was young, when I was a I was quite wealthy, but later something happened in my family and my family fell into decline, which led to me being in such a miserable state now.”
"Lao Bai, is there something wrong with your building?" Gu Chan asked.
"More than thirty years ago, our family rescued a woman in red, but she later committed suicide in that building. Since then, there will always be some strange noises in that building every night, and whenever we live there, Within a few days, they were either frightened to death or went crazy, so they are still empty until now." Bai Lao said with a helpless expression.
Zhou Dachuan and others suddenly turned pale and had goosebumps all over their bodies.
Gu Chan smacked her tongue secretly. She really didn't expect that there would be such a haunted house in such a poor place like the refugee area.
Bai Lao added, "There was an accident in my family, and it was also after this woman committed suicide. At that time, my two sons, two daughters-in-law, and a daughter all died innocently and tragically. At first, I thought it was haunted, and then I invited a real person to open the forum. But it’s still useless, and the building has been empty for more than 30 years.”
"Gu Chan, you can't buy this building!" Zhou Dachuan stepped forward and tried to dissuade her with a stiff face.
"Yes, husband, you can't buy it, let's look at other things!" Ouyang Wan'er also shouted.
Ma Zheng, Zhang Wanshan and others tried to dissuade him, fearing that Gu Chan would buy this haunted house on a whim and everyone would be unhappy in the future.
Gu Chan was also a little worried, so she could only laugh and said, "Lao Bai, you see everyone has said this, I can't help you anymore."
"It's okay. I'll just come over and have a chat with you to try my luck. It's okay if you don't dare to buy my building." Bai Lao said with a disappointed look on his face.
After saying that, he was ready to get up and leave.
But at this moment, Baidu, the snake baby hidden in the bag on Gu Chan's waist, said in her ear in animal language, "Listen to me and buy this old man's building. It's a treasure. You Don't miss it. 】
[Yes, you must buy this building, don’t be afraid. 】Snake Baby Sogou also said the same.
Gu Chan was stunned, looking at the old man's leaving figure, his face instantly became uncertain.
From her point of view, she didn't want to cause trouble for herself by buying such a haunted house, but the two spirit beasts persuaded her to buy it. This haunted house might be interesting.
