Seven's secret

Murong lightly flicked it on the forehead.What a little thing to eat inside and outside!Fortunately, Pei Rong couldn't understand what it said.But Pei Rong is very shrewd, even if he can't understand Yutou's words, he can probably guess where he is when he hears the sound of the TV and the cat meowing.

Just guess it.Murong Qing felt a little bit self-defeating, this is something that can't be helped.After all, Mr. Pei's place is not his home, and he can't participate in their family's affairs.Those guests who came to the door were all here to visit the grandparents of the Pei family, and they had nothing to do with him, an outsider.

Pei Rong hummed, "Okay, take care of yourself."

Murong responded lightly and hung up the phone.

Yutou sat up on his lap, the cat's eyes flashed a light called "Gossip", "Brother, this caller...you don't want to see him, do you?"

Murong Qingmu looked at it, "What's none of your business?!"

"Oh, oh," Yutou smirked, "Is that your suitor?"

Murong lightly supported his forehead.He'd never seen a cat make such... such an obscene expression.

Yutou had a friendly expression, "How is this guy? Is he good to you? Has he ever given you dried fish?"

Murong rolled his eyes at him lightly, "Is this how you pursue others?"

"Yeah," Yutou said with a matter-of-fact expression, "sometimes he catches mice or something. But girls nowadays are very delicate, and many of them don't want to eat mice at all."

Murong Qing, "..."

Yutou asked again, "What gifts do you usually accept?"

Murong smiled bitterly, "I have no suitors."

"You lied to me!" Yutou felt that his IQ was being contemptuous, "I heard that call just now!"

Murong shook his head lightly, "He doesn't count. He just had a whim. It will pass soon."

"What is... a whirlwind?" Yutou felt that this word sounded complicated.

Murong smiled lightly, "It was a sudden desire to catch mice. But after a while, the feeling of wanting to catch mice disappeared again."

"Oh." Yutou dragged his voice, "So that's how it is."

"Yes," Murong pursed his lips lightly, and sighed softly, "That's it."

Yutou digested it by himself for a while, and then educated him old-fashionedly, "You have to work hard, others only treat you like... that whim is not acceptable."

Murong Qing laughed amused by his serious tone, "Then what do you want to do?"

The head of the fish thought about it seriously, "There is no future in staying in your own den all the time. You have to lick Mao Mao neatly, and then take some small fish out - the small fish should be fresh!"

Murong Qing stretched out his hand and rubbed its little ears, "But I don't have any goals to pursue."

Yutou looked at him in confusion, "Then what do you want?"

A dazed expression appeared on Murong Qing's face, "I want a house of my own. I don't want a building like this, I want a one-story house with a yard. I want to grow vegetables and flowers in the yard, and I want to set up a grape trellis in the corner , put on a comfortable rocking chair, like the Dongzhi home. Well, I also want to dig a pond in the yard, plant lotus flowers, and raise koi..."

Yutou gulped down a mouthful of saliva, "Fish?"

Murong Qing smiled subconsciously, "Yeah, raise fish. Then build a high courtyard wall, and no one will be allowed in. I live alone in it, and no one will be allowed in..."

"What kind of wish is this?" Yutou was obviously disappointed, "I knew there was such a place. There are courtyard walls, bungalows and yards, but the yard is very dilapidated, and the beams creak when you step on it. Noisy. But there's a lot of rats there... you really want a place like this?"

The place Yutou mentioned is actually not far from the work shed of the "Liuqijia", across the entire East Lake Park, it is just in a diagonal position with the work shed.

This area should belong to the outermost part of East Lake Park. Weeds have grown on the sidewalk by the lake. It seems that no one has passed by here for a while.This lake is called Mingzhu Lake, and it is the largest lake in East Lake Park. There is a small island in the middle of the lake, and the island is a zoo and a children's playground.Tourists usually choose to take a cruise ship to the island, and then return to the shore along the Jiuqu covered bridge on the other side of the island. Except for some elderly people exercising, few tourists are willing to run in a big circle to this side of the lake. .

The broken yard Yutou mentioned was located on a slope not far from the lake.

"This used to be a village," Yutou said, lying on Murong Qing's shoulder, lazily gesticulating his paws in the direction of Lianhua Mountain, "that area used to be the territory of the village. This old man has a bad temper , fought with the people in the village, and was excluded by the whole village, so I had to build the house so far.”

Murong Qing looked in the direction it pointed, it was the high-end residential area called "Bangshan Huating" that he passed by when he drove over just now.Seen from a distance, the house is quite new and quite grand. He didn't expect that this dilapidated courtyard had the same background as that high-end residential area.

"Why did you leave this courtyard?" Murong Qing walked slowly around the dilapidated courtyard wall, the courtyard wall was badly damaged, there should be no one living inside, "Because it's too far apart? "

"Probably?" The fish head licked its paws. Although it watched a lot of jokes in human society, it doesn't mean it can understand them all. "I guess the old man has a bad temper, and everyone doesn't like him." He is still fighting with people, carrying a stick, so fierce. Others call him Nail."

"Nails?" Murong was taken aback for a moment, did Yutou want to talk about nail households?It's far away from the village, and the price couldn't be negotiated, so the developer simply got rid of this small place?

Murong Qing was puzzled, so she called the phone number on the gate to ask for clarification.The person who answered the phone was a young man with an accent that Murong Qing couldn't name. When he asked about the dilapidated courtyard next to the park, his tone suddenly became enthusiastic, "It's all because my old man is too stubborn. When they developed Shang wants to build a church on his land, but my old man insists that he is not a good person, so he will not sell it. The result is good, all the people in the village are sold, and only his broken yard is left, which is thrown into his hands."

"Has no one bought it?" This is Murong Qing's most curious question.

"No." The young man on the other end of the phone began to complain, "Some people have come to see it in the past two years, but it is impossible for a big developer to take a fancy to such a small place. There is a park in front and the garden next to the mountain. , It’s not enough to repair anything. They all came to see it privately, and an old man brought people to see it a few years ago, saying that he wanted to build a Go club. Then there was no movement.”

Murong listened lightly to his offer, and probably guessed the reason.The land plus the broken yard itself will not be very expensive, but the investment in the later stage is too high. What is the concept of building a house by yourself in the city?Buying the land is far from enough, it also needs approvals from government agencies, plus design fees, construction fees, stone materials, timber, laying of circuits, water pipes... Murong Qing absolutely does not have the ability to do all these things by himself.He might be able to find a way through Ling Dongzhi and Zhuang Zhou after finding a relationship for approval, but how to solve the money problem?

No money, nothing to talk about.

After hanging up the phone, Murong Qing felt empty in his heart.He couldn't hold back, stepped on a stone, leaned over the courtyard wall and looked in.

Houses in the country usually have a large yard.Not only because many places still retain the habit of a family living together for several generations, but also because of the needs of life: drying food, raising livestock, raising chickens and ducks, and the indispensable vegetable garden .This family is the same, although the dilapidated doors and windows have collapsed, but you can still see the simple and elegant style when it was just repaired, and the front and back yards are also very spacious.

Murong Qing couldn't help thinking, if he bought this place, the old house would be demolished, and the house would have to be rebuilt, just in this location... the east and west rooms should also be repaired decently, and the vegetable garden moved to the backyard, Ponds can be built here...

Yutou walked around the wall twice with his tail cocked, and then meowed, "After that road is repaired, it will become more and more deserted here."

What Yutou was talking about was the new road in front of the "Bangshan Huating".Most of the people who take this road are the residents of the "Bangshan Huating". If you go this way, there is only this dilapidated courtyard. After the dilapidated courtyard is the forest, and behind the forest is the branch of Lianhua Mountain.The forest area in this area has not been developed, and there are no residents on the mountain, so no one will go this way again.Or if the park is expanded in the future, it may be considered to include this forest area.But Murong Qing also felt that this possibility was very small.

This is destined to be a dead end.

But it was also this that made him so excited.

Murong leaned lightly on the wall and sighed resentfully, "If only I were a goblin in Liaozhai, I can transform into a house with just one breath... Sigh."

Yutou ignored him and complained, and ran wildly around the yard a few times on his own, the fur on his excited neck was fluffed up.

"It's really nice here." Yutou narrowed his eyes comfortably, and stretched long, "It's not noisy, the air is good, and there are many fat mice."

Murong Qing, "...the last one is really out of my consideration."

Yutou glanced at him rather disappointedly, and let out a dry "Oh".

Murong covered his face lightly, "It would be great if I had money."

"Are you poor?" Yutou asked him curiously, "Can't you afford this broken yard full of rats?"

Murong Qing's brows drooped, "The broken yard can be bought, but it can't be lived in. The house inside has to be rebuilt. It takes a lot of money to repair the house."

"That's it," Yutou thought thoughtfully, "Then you buy the yard first."

"what?"

Yutou said triumphantly, "I'll find a solution for the money to repair the house."

Murong Qing was so startled that her eyeballs almost fell off, "What can you do?! Catching mice?"

"Don't look down on catching mice," Yutou said displeased, "Why don't you compare with me to see who catches more!"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this..." Murong stretched out his hand and rubbed its little head, he was so stupid, did he think he was really living in a story of Liaozhai?Where can a cat go to earn money?

"If I buy this place and don't repair the house, I will waste my money, do you understand?" Murong Qing tried to reason with it, "But I don't have the money to repair the house."

Yutou asked him back, "How can you make money?"

"Work hard," Murong said with a sigh, "I have a workshop, which is the place you have been to, and I can make some porcelain for sale. There is also a shop dealing in antiques, um, I need to sell more things. OK."

Yutou looked a little hesitant, "Antique...what do you mean?"

"It's a very old thing." Murong Qing said: "Things made by people hundreds of years ago, or even thousands of years ago: porcelain, handicrafts, jewelry, these can be exchanged for a lot of money."

"That's it..." Yutou pulled the weeds on the wall with his paws, looked at him lazily and said, "Then go buy a yard, I'm very rich."
