Chapter 203 The Haunted West Wing
Chapter 203 The Haunted West Wing
The first house they bought was empty and had no furniture inside, so Li Yuer drew some furniture drawings and asked Zhang the Wood Man to make them. He also told him that the folding tables and chairs he had made could be sold to him.
After seeing the drawings of furniture such as sofas and desks, Mu Ren Zhang was extremely excited and wanted to buy the drawings again. This time Li Yuer did not sell the drawings, but cooperated with him on a profit-sharing basis, 70% to Mu Ren Zhang and 30% to Li Yuer. The contract also stipulated that Li Yuer would only take dividends for three years.
Mu Ren Zhang agreed, and Li Yuer asked Li Lao Er to sign a contract with Mu Ren Zhang in his name, which could be regarded as Li Yuer's reward to his parents.
When signing the contract, Li Laoer's hands were shaking with excitement.
"This, this is our business?"
Li Erlang, who was watching from the side, was jealous and deliberately joked, "Dad, if you don't sign, I'll do it."
"Go away! I'm not dead yet, wait a minute, and find a wife to give me and your mother a fat grandson. Dalang is already engaged, and you're not much younger, so hurry up."
Speaking of marriage, Li Erlang blushed again, "Dad, why do you always tease me?"
After they came out of the government office with the red deed, Li Laoer said worriedly, "You say, we are secretly doing a business, will your grandparents have any ideas?"
Li Yuer said, "No, this business came all of a sudden. I told grandma about it before I came out. She said it was natural. She also said that the barbecue stall was originally owned by us. It's a rare thing for us to make a fortune with the whole family."
Li Lao Er nodded, "You did the right thing, it was Dad who didn't think it through."
Li Erlang comforted him, "Dad, don't let your imagination run wild. You left in such a hurry before you came out that we all forgot that we were doing business with you, and you didn't know it."
After finishing this matter, Li Laoer took the deed back to the village, and Li Erlang and others went to the stall.
After closing the stall, several people rented a carriage. Li Yuer and the others did not go with them, but went to the new house to prepare. Lai Zi and Dalang went to Donglin Village.
When Ma the witch saw Lai Zi and his servant, her eyes lit up. She rolled her eyes and said, "Sir, are we going to the haunted house now?"
Lai Zi nodded and said, "That house is a new one my family bought. It was originally reserved by my elders for me to get married. Who knew something strange would happen before I even moved in? I have to trouble Ma the witch for help."
"Okay! Okay!" Ma Shenpo's eyes were full of greed. Okay, everything will be fine once the money is in place.
Several people came to Li Yuer's newly bought house. As soon as they got off the carriage, Ma the witch pretended to do something.
"I see dark clouds covering the sky here, and there is a strong negative energy. There must be a demon causing trouble."
Lai Zi suppressed his laughter, covered it with his sleeves and said, "Then I'll have to trouble the witch to help me."
The door opened, and Li Laosan, who was in disguise, opened the door with his head down, invited several people in, and sent the carriage driver away when Ma Shenpo was not paying attention.
The fortune teller Ma was dazzled by the magnificent mansion in front of her. My goodness, it has rockery, garden and pavilion, it is truly a wealthy family.
"Hurry up as a law!"
The sound of chanting was heard, and a Taoist was waving a peach wood sword and performing a ritual in the yard. The peach wood sword in his hand was like a real sword, and he wielded it with great power and smoothness.
Finally, Taoist Mu placed the peach wood sword on the candle, and in the blink of an eye a cluster of flames sprang up and exploded, leaving the "servants" who were watching stunned and amazed.
A flash of resentment flashed across Ma Shenpo's eyes. You, a hypocritical Taoist priest, are stealing her business.
Lai Zi explained, "Ma Shenpo, this is the Taoist priest I mentioned to you before. He was invited by my elders from the Taoist temple, but he has been performing rituals for several days, and the strange noises in the house still haven't disappeared."
Ma Shenpo sneered: "Pretending will not work. Don't worry, young master, I have real skills. If you don't believe me, look at the Gu family's problem. Wasn't it me who solved it?"
"Yes, yes, you are a capable person and you should do more work. However, this Taoist priest was invited by the elders in the family. As a junior, I cannot say much. Please just pretend that he does not exist and bear with me."
Ma the witch stepped forward and pushed Mu Qingfeng away with her fat butt, scaring Mu Qingfeng so much that he stepped back repeatedly.
"What are you doing? Men and women should not touch each other. Stay away from me."
Ma Shenpo cursed: "You are such a stinking Taoist priest who pretends to be a god. You have deceived people and brought them to me, Ma Shenpo."
Mu Qingfeng received a signal from the "maid" Li Yu'er and said, "Do you have any evidence that I am lying?"
Ma Shenpo said unreasonably, "Do you still need evidence? I ask you, how many days have you been here? Have you solved the problem of the house?"
Mu Qingfeng coughed lightly and said, "I will perform the ritual for seven days. Today is the sixth day. I only have one day left to complete the ritual. By then, the problem will be solved naturally."
Ma Shenpo cursed in her heart: This stinky Taoist priest will succeed in defrauding money in one day, and she must "solve the problem" before he does. She originally planned to delay for a few days, saying that there was a big problem with the house, and asked the young man to bleed more, and it was all because of this stinky Taoist priest who was in the way.
Ma Shenpo immediately threatened: "I can solve the house problem in one day, but you need seven days. Are you stalling for time to cheat money?"
Mu Qingfeng pretended to be angry and said, "Don't talk nonsense, old woman. This ritual naturally takes time. Seven days is one cycle, so it can't be shortened by even a little bit."
Just as Ma was about to start scolding, Lai Zi said, "Please stop arguing. You are all honored guests invited by my family. You are all experts. Don't ruin the harmony over a small matter. How about this? Each of you do your own thing. Whoever solves the problem first will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver."
Fifty taels of silver! My goodness, that's enough to buy a house.
Ma Shenpo's eyes were frighteningly bright, and she rushed to express her opinion: "Okay! I will give you a favor!"
Then, the "maid" Li Yu'er took Ma the witch to the haunted house.
This is the west wing. There is a bamboo forest behind the room. At this time, the bamboo leaves have fallen, and only the bare trunks stand there upright. Although bleak, they still have a kind of pride and elegance.
Li Yu'er pointed to the west wing and said, "That's the room. I don't dare to go in. You can see for yourself."
After saying that, Li Yuer retreated far away in fear.
Li Yu'er had put on makeup, changed her clothes, and combed her bangs to cover half of her face. As a maid, she naturally lowered her head, so Ma Shenpo naturally did not recognize her.
Ma the witch herself does not believe in ghosts, otherwise she would not dare to do so many bad things.
People who truly believe in God and karma and reincarnation will not do evil easily. People who do evil generally do not respect gods and ghosts.
Goddess Ma took the lead and stepped into the west wing. Although there was no furniture in the room, it was very elegantly built. Goddess Ma sighed in her heart that rich families could enjoy it, and it would be great if it were hers.
When this thought popped into her mind, Ma Shenpo's eyes rolled around and she came up with an idea.
