Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language
Chapter 225 Haunted House
What he wanted to see was undoubtedly Gu Chan's painful expression.
Unexpectedly, Gu Chan did not do as he wished. Instead of being in pain or angry, she was quite happy. Naturally, he could not bear it.
In a rage, he immediately asked, "Have you found the killer from the border that I asked you to find last time?"
"Master, Batman has been found and told your intention. He also agreed to kill Gu Chan as soon as possible." said the subordinate.
"Let him do it tonight. I don't want to see that brat being so arrogant again." Xu Renjie said viciously.
The men immediately responded and left.
Xu Renjie gnashed his teeth and said to himself, "You bastard, tonight is the day you die."
After saying that, he temporarily suppressed his anger and continued to lie down and enjoy himself.
This side of the refugee zone commercial street.
At this time, Gu Chan had already led people here. Since she didn't have any friends here, she went straight to the shop where she bought the wood last time.
The proprietress Liu Heimei was very warm to Gu Chan and others. She not only asked everyone to sit down, but also poured each of them a bowl of fragrant rice wine to quench their thirst.
Gu Chan drank rice wine while saying, "Boss lady, you are familiar with this place, why don't you help us contact them and see if there is a building or shop for sale and take us to have a look."
"If you want to open a clinic, the shop here is not suitable. You still have to buy a small building. After all, you have too many people under you, and you also need to store a lot of medicinal materials." Liu Heimei said cheerfully.
Gu Chan nodded without comment.
Liu Heimei immediately called a shop assistant and asked him to go out and inquire. Then she said, "Just wait and rest at the door of my shop. My shop assistant will bring the person who wants to sell the building over to talk to you later."
"Thank you, Madam Boss." Gu Chan thanked politely.
"You're welcome. You've been taking care of my business so much, so it's no big deal for me to help you. Besides, the buildings here are generally dilapidated. Even if you buy a new one, you'll still have to renovate it. You'll have to come to me then!" 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 renovate the house. Liu Heimei's service was pretty good before, and she can get a relatively cheap price when she comes here to buy wood the second time, which is very cost-effective for her.
Liu Heimei can also make money from her again.
It is mutually beneficial for both parties.
About half an hour later, the guy who went to inquire came over with an old man with silver hair.
The old man was hunched over, leaning on a tiger-head crutch, with a pale face and thin body, and 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 shop owners nearby started to greet him and called him "Mr. Bai" affectionately.
Gu Chan politely stepped forward and said, "Hello, Mr. Bai, my name is Gu Chan, it's our first meeting, please take care of me."
"Ah! Needless to say, your name, Manager Gu, has now spread throughout the refugee area. I know you, and you also defeated Hua Qianshao and Yan Han last night. You are even more famous in Zhongyuan City. I admire you too!" Old Bai praised kindly.
Gu Chan chuckled, feeling a little embarrassed by the compliment.
Bai Lao got straight to the point and said, "By the way, I heard from this guy that your building in the center of the refugee zone was burned down last night, right?"
"Yes! It was our enemies who did this. We are now looking for a place!" said Gu Chan.
"That's perfect. I do own a four-story building, but I don't know if you dare to buy it." Mr. Bai said seriously.
Liu Heimei quickly told the waiter to bring a chair from the shop and put it behind the old man, then helped him sit down tremblingly.
As soon as the old man sat down, Liu Heimei glared at the waiter and cursed, "Why did you bring Mr. Bai here? Can't you ask another host to come over?"
"There's no suitable one! Only Mr. Bai is willing to sell his building, and there's nothing I can do about it. Besides, Mr. Bai said that he admires Manager Gu very much and insisted on coming with me to take a look. No matter what, even if the business doesn't count, it's still the purpose!" the clerk explained in a low voice.
Liu Heimei glared at him helplessly and said no more.
When Gu Chan and others saw the two of them whispering to each other, they immediately felt that something was wrong.
Mr. Bai did not shy away from the question and said directly, "I am not lying to you. My building is at the end of this commercial street. It has a large yard outside. I built it when I was young. I was quite wealthy then. But later, something happened to my family and we fell into poverty. That is why I am in such a miserable state now."
"Mr. Bai, is there any problem with your building?" Gu Chan asked.
"More than 30 years ago, our family rescued a woman in red, but she later committed suicide in that building. Since then, there have always been some strange noises in that building every night, and anyone who moved in was either scared to death or went crazy within a few days, resulting in the house being empty until now." Old Bai said helplessly.
Zhou Dachuan and others turned pale and got goose bumps all over their bodies when they heard this.
Gu Chan secretly clicked her tongue. She had never imagined that in such a poor place like the refugee zone, there would be such a haunted house.
Mr. Bai added, "My family suffered a tragedy after this woman committed suicide. My two sons, two daughters-in-law, and one daughter all died tragically. At first I thought it was haunted, so I invited a Taoist priest to perform a ritual, but it was useless. Until now, 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, we can't buy it. Let's look at other things!" Ouyang Wan'er also followed suit.
Ma Zheng, Zhang Wanshan and others tried to dissuade them, fearing that Gu Chan might buy the haunted house on a whim, which would cause unrest for everyone in the future.
Gu Chan was also a little worried, so she could only laugh dryly and said, "Mr. Bai, you see everyone is saying this, I can't help you anymore."
"It's okay. I just came over to talk to you and try my luck. It's okay if you don't dare to buy my building." Mr. Bai said with a disappointed look on his face.
After saying that, he prepared to get up and leave.
But at this moment, the snake baby Baidu hidden in the bag on Gu Chan's waist said in her ear in animal language, "Listen to me, buy this building from the old man, it's a treasure, you must not miss it."
[Yes, you must buy this building, don't be afraid.] Snake Baby Sogou also said so.
Gu Chan was stunned, looking at the old man's departing back, her expression instantly becoming gloomy.
From her point of view, she certainly didn't want to buy such a haunted house and cause trouble for herself, but the two spirit beasts persuaded her to buy it, so this haunted house might be a bit interesting.
