Start North America 1400: nation building

Chapter 11 [11] Are you a salt witch?
Two in the afternoon.

Zhou Li'an drove to the agency. Nick took the contract and drove him to a farm in the suburbs. After confirming the details of the house, he could sign the contract.

In the car last week, Li An took pictures of the details of the contract.

Re-sent it to an old classmate of the lawyer.

They are all international students. They lived next door to the dormitory building on the same floor, and they have a good relationship.

"Lawyer Lu, help me see if there are any loopholes in the contract? Don't worry, if you pay for a consultation, you will quote directly. Don't be polite to me this time."

It didn't take long to get a reply after sending the message.

"Fuck, did you hit the Powerball?"

"Buy a farm and enjoy life!"

Zhou Li'an typed: "It's written in the contract, it's just a deposit, but I did resign recently and found a new job. The salary is quite high."

"The consulting fee is 1000, including the total of 1000 last time, I shouldn't be polite to you, a local tyrant."

Then, he talked about the possible problems in the contract.

After reading it, Zhou Li'an knew that there were no loopholes in the contract, so he changed hands and gave the consulting fee.

It’s not good to bother your friends all the time. The last time you were free, it was a favor. If you don’t say it twice or three times, your friends will be over.

Arrive at Hood Farm.

Zhou Li'an looked at the water and electricity facilities.

This is the suggestion of Lawyer Lu, because according to the standard procedure, before buying a house, you should find a professional appraiser to bring equipment for on-site measurement.

Because most of the floors in the United States are made of wood, problems such as mildew and aging are common.

But Zhou Li'an was in a hurry to move, so his suggestion was to include this in the contract.

Try to live for a month, guarantee the water and electricity, if there is a quality problem in the building, the balance of the offset will be offset, and if you have time, find a professional to measure it.

With this lightning protection suggestion, I saved more than a thousand dollars.

Nick is easy to talk to, because the matter has come to this point, he has no way out.

He bargained with the owner yesterday for 8 knives, and his mouth was worn out.

Now talk to the owner on the phone, and the other party agreed.

This kind of remote farm is really difficult to sell. Sometimes it is normal to put it on sale for two or three years. When the land and houses are abandoned, it is very troublesome to either renovate or discount them.

The whole thing went smoothly.

After signing the contract, Zhou Li'an paid with his own bank deposit, and the cash did not move. This deposit was to become the down payment later, and had to go through the bank flow.

"Mr. Zhou, congratulations, you have your own new home."

"Congratulations to you too, completing an order."

Shaking hands to celebrate, Nick also took out the non-alcoholic champagne prepared in advance from the car, and the two sat on the old sofa in the house and clinked glasses.

Afterwards, they handed over the keys and waited for a month to pay the final payment, or Zhou Li'an was kicked out.

And now, he can move into a new home.

Last night, I packed my luggage in advance.

There are not many things, and the divorce and separation happened once a year ago.

The three trolley suitcases were packed, and finally I drove to the supermarket to buy some cleaning tools. On the way, I called the previous landlord to tell me to check out and not renew the lease next month.

until evening.

Zhou Li'an just sat in his own home and took a breath, with a satisfied smile on his face.

I also rented a townhouse when I got married, divorced and separated and moved to the previous apartment building, and now I finally have my own house.

The Chinese people's obsession with the pursuit of houses is deeply rooted.

Suddenly there is a sense of solidity.

After casually eating the packed fast food, he started to tidy up the house, and the unused rooms continued to be vacant.

The owner took measures to prevent dust when he moved out.

Zhou Li'an chose a master bedroom to move in, so there were only three rooms to clean, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom.

The extra two rooms are prepared in case of visitors.

In fact, he didn't have many friends in Salem, and some old colleagues who had a good relationship didn't have time to visit him, and the residents were all top social animals.

Zhou Li'an also didn't expect that the bustle would last until three o'clock in the morning.

After all, he owns his own house, so he is full of energy.

After letting out a breath, the whole person completely went limp.Fortunately, the sheets were not changed, so he fell asleep on the bed with his clothes on.

……

The rain continued, and the sky gradually became dark.

Without torches, the crowd walked in the twilight of the wilderness.

The soldiers of the Tushi Department took strict precautions, and there was still a long way to go to prevent anyone from escaping in the dark.

Gradually, some elderly people became exhausted, so they were killed and their corpses were thrown into the wilderness.

Several people died in a row.

The depression in the team was even worse, but even though the cold and exhaustion swept through their bodies, they still seemed to be burning with a flame in their hearts.

"Wu, are you alright?" Xue Nu asked softly.

The priestly old lady shook her head, and glanced at the leader of the Tushi tribe who was not far away from them: "They don't want me to die."

The old lady knew very well that the leader was taking care of her deliberately by following her.

Disasters happen for a reason.

In fact, the old lady knew very well when he escaped with missing teeth and injured... Everyone is dead, so why can he run back with missing teeth?
The Tushi Department just needs a guide to bring them here.

The distance between the two is very far, and there are many people who know the route, but they are not as familiar as Missing Tooth. It is he who brought the disaster back.

But the fault is not missing teeth.

It lies in the astonishing amount of god-given salt.

With a distance of two, the Tushi Department does not need to attack them.

If Missing Teeth is right, the map stones that have just annexed two volumes cannot accommodate more population.

Slaves need to be tamed, otherwise a large number of aliens will cause riots within them.

It's just that the snow-white salt without bitterness has a fatal allure.

The Ministry of Tushi is determined to win.

The old lady regretted that the decision she made was too hasty. She was thinking about it all the way. It was because the coming of the gods made her dizzy and caused the tribe to fall into disaster.

All we can look forward to now is that the miracle will come again.

They still have a chance...

Because what Tushibu needs is not salt, but a salt witch who can pray for such pure salt.

On the long journey, the torrential rain became more and more fierce.

The people in the Tushi Department couldn't hold it any longer, and finally found a cliff where they could shelter from the rain, and drove away a group of gray wolves during the process.

The half-sized cave is only for a small number of people to hide in, when there is a flickering fire in the cave.

Someone took the old lady away.

The old lady didn't resist, but just appeased the clansmen, gave the girl a few instructions, and then followed.

She was arranged to rest in a corner, and someone even brought food.

No one spoke to her during that time.

It's just that the leader of the Tushi warrior glanced at her thoughtfully from time to time.

The team didn't continue to set off until the rain became lighter and daylight was already on the horizon.

Another night fell.

The tired crowd finally walked into a valley, and a prosperous tribal community appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the phantom of the bonfire was reflected on the cliff wall.

Seeing the warriors returning victorious and bringing a large number of slaves, the people of the Tushi tribe began to celebrate, roaring and howling indulgently.

There are also people in the outer cages with sad and cold faces, like walking dead.

The old lady was still well taken care of, and took a few women to get a tent to rest.

Not long after, the warrior leader came in with a strong man: "You are a salt witch? As long as you help me pray for more salt, that kind of white salt, I will make you the second witch of the Tushi Department , as long as your people are willing to surrender, they will become Tushi's people and compatriots."

The old lady's eyes were deep and calm:
"it is good."

"In three days, I will start praying for salt. Until then, our people need food, water and healing."

　It's time to sign a contract, hurry up if you haven't invested, and continue to ask for votes...
