And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 54
After cleaning up the weeds in the whole yard, Chen Yuan cleaned the whole house inside and out.

Elder brother Chen Wenqing and brother-in-law Wu Qingping sometimes come to help in their free time.

In just a few days, the whole house was completely new.

Seeing that the time was ripe to move into this house, Chen Yuan greeted his brother and sister-in-law that day.

He took the quilt sewn by his brother and sister-in-law and moved into this rented house.

After laying out the bedding and tidying up the house, Chen Yuan walked around the house and yard to see what was missing.

"You should buy two buckets to fetch water for food."

Chen Yuan looked at the due west position in the corner of the yard and said.

It is worth mentioning that after cleaning up the weeds in the entire yard, Chen Yuan discovered that there was an ancient well in the corner due to the west of the yard.

Chen Yuan looked inside, and saw that the ancient well was deep, with moss growing on the inside and outside of the well walls, and the well water was fairly clean, but because it had been left unattended for a long time, it was not drinkable at all.

"Now I can only fetch water from the public well at the entrance of the alley. When I have time, I will clean up this ancient well and have my own well."

Chen Yuan said in his heart.

Take inventory of what you need to buy, so you know what you need to buy.

He turned around and walked out of the courtyard, closing the courtyard door.

It's just going out for a short time, and there is no need to lock it.

This mansion has a great reputation, and in the eyes of the neighbors, it is almost no different from a ghost house. Even if the door is open, no thief would want to patronize it.

Chen Yuan came to the south of the city, where the commercial atmosphere is strong, there are many shops, and all kinds of things needed for daily life can be bought here.

After about an hour, Chen Yuan bought all the things he needed in the shop in the south of the city.

Including a pair of wooden barrels, a wooden bed, a set of tables and chairs, a wardrobe and other furniture, plus daily necessities such as dishes and chopsticks.

Because the yard had been abandoned for too long, many of the furniture inside were broken and unusable, so Chen Yuan replaced the broken furniture.

In addition, there is an iron pot, plus a set of custom-made stone tables and benches.

The iron pot is used by Chen Yuan to cook by himself. Although he has been able to fast for a short time, he still has to eat five grains, meat and vegetables, so that he can experience the taste of the world.

Chen Yuan planned to put the stone tables and benches under the big pear tree. It was the beginning of spring, and Chen Yuan thought it would be very good to put a set of stone tables and benches under the big pear tree, so that he could enjoy the shade under the tree when he was free.

After Chen Yuan paid the money, he told these shops his address, and the shopkeepers of these shops promised to send all the things Chen Yuan bought to his home.

Otherwise, some things are really too heavy.

After this incident, the original hundreds of elders on Chen Yuan had basically been spent, and it was not enough, and he owed about a hundred elders.

In many places, Chen Yuan could only pay a deposit, and asked these shops to pay the rest after delivering the items to their door.

After Chen Yuan left the commercial area in the south of the city, he did not return to his home.

Instead, he turned around and went to the east of the city.

Because the younger brother of the innkeeper I met in Mengliang Town lived in the east of the city.

These few days have been delayed by something, and I have been busy. Today, I am free, and Chen Yuan is going to take this opportunity to take care of this matter.

According to the address given by the innkeeper, Chen Yuan found the house where the other party lived.

"It's here."

Chen Yuan looked at the house in front of him.

I saw that this house is not big, it is no different from the ordinary houses around, but the materials used are much better. It is built with blue bricks, which looks expensive.

The gate of the courtyard was also painted black. Looking at the innkeeper in Mengliang Town, he was worth a lot of money.

At the very least, the house of Chen Yuan's elder brother Chen Wenqing's family is much more shabby than this one.

Bang Bang!

Chen Yuan stepped forward and buckled the brass lock on the courtyard door.

"Who knocked?"

Not long after, a boy's voice was heard in the courtyard, and the courtyard door opened.

I saw a young man with a pale face and handsome appearance, but because of his thin body, he looked like hemp stalks, wearing a long gown and a Confucian scarf on his head, who looked about the same age as Chen Yuan, opened the gate and walked out of the yard. out.

"But Liang Xianzhi in person? Your brother Liang Shou asked me to send you a message."

Chen Yuan looked at the young man who walked out of the courtyard, and said to him.

Liang Xianzhi, who was a little wary when he saw Chen Yuan's expression, heard that Chen Yuan was entrusted by his elder brother.

His expression changed, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes:
"Since you are entrusted by your elder brother, please come inside and tell me."

While speaking, he moved away.

Chen Yuan followed Liang Xianzhi into the courtyard, and after casually looking around, he found that the layout of the courtyard in the south of the city was different from that in the west of the city.

The south of the city is more refined. In addition to the main courtyard, there are even a cross courtyard and a moon gate. Coupled with the neat and uniform green trees, it gives people a feeling of being in a big family.

After inviting Chen Yuan into the main room, serving tea, and sitting down with Chen Yuan.

Liang Xianzhi asked: "Dare to ask about long names?"

Chen Yuandao: "Pindao's name is Qingming Layman, surnamed Chen Mingyuan, also from Pingliang County. On the way back, when passing through Mengliang Town, I was entrusted by your brother to ask Pindao to deliver a message. Now Mengliang Town is on the way to and from Pingliang County. He’s a bandit, I’m afraid he won’t come home to see you until later.”

This Liang Xianzhi said: "So that's how it is. Elder brother should have come back after some time, but I didn't see him."

Liang Xianzhi said again: "I've also heard about this banditry incident, and it hasn't been resolved yet. It's better for brother to come back later, so you don't take any risks."

……

After chatting with Chen Yuan for a while.

Liang Xianzhi said: "Since the Taoist priest promised elder brother to send back a message at the risk of being blocked by bandits, did elder brother promise the Taoist priest any reward?"

Chen Yuandao: "Young Master's elder brother once promised to Pindao that he would give five hundred dollars as a reward after the news was delivered. Here is the proof."

Chen Yuan was not embarrassed either, and directly took out the voucher written by the innkeeper.

Liang Xianzhi took it, held it in his hand and read it, then turned his eyes to Chen Yuan and said, "It is indeed Brother Zixia's handwriting, and there are bandits blocking the way, the Taoist priest took such a big risk to send a message for Xia Xia, five hundred Big money is fair."

Liang Xianzhi put away the voucher and said: "I have accepted the voucher, the Taoist priest wait a moment, I will go get the money for the Taoist priest."

When Liang Xianzhi got up to leave, Chen Yuan looked at Liang Xianzhi's leaving back, and felt that the other party's popularity was very weak, and it seemed that he was going to die soon.

Chen Yuan took another two deep breaths. He always felt that there was a strange fragrance like orchid and musk in the Liang family's house. Although this fragrance smelled good, Chen Yuan felt a little cold in his nostrils.

Not long after, Liang Xianzhi came in with five hundred big money and handed it over to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan was also not polite, and accepted the five hundred big money.

Now that he has no money on him, it is also the time when he needs money.

"By the way, for the sake of giving you the money so happily, let me remind you that you are going to die soon. If you don't want to die so soon, you'd better keep a distance from your things in your house."

After Chen Yuan received five hundred dollars, he reminded Liang Xianzhi before leaving.

After speaking, he said goodbye and left without looking back.

However, Chen Yuan's words made Liang Xianzhi's face change drastically.

He watched Chen Yuan's leaving back, chased to the gate of the courtyard, and wanted to ask for clarification, but he seemed to be hesitant. Out of sight.

Reluctantly, he could only close the courtyard door, turned around and went to a side room across the courtyard.

This wing room is covered by a curtain, and behind the curtain, a graceful woman can be vaguely seen, sitting sideways on the bed behind the curtain.

"Hongyu, what the Taoist said just now..."

In front of the curtain, Liang Xianzhi said to the graceful woman behind the curtain.

"Lang Jun, I heard your conversation just now. That Taoist priest is a real expert. The Taoist robe he wears is full of light, and he is blessed by immortals. I dare not get too close. You should obey His suggestion."

"My concubine said long ago that yin and yang cannot intersect. You and I are intimate day and night, and your yang energy has been gradually absorbed by my concubine. If this continues, you will die."

The graceful woman spoke from behind the curtain.

"Isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?"

Liang Xianzhi said unwillingly.

This woman is really his lifelong confidant, he is not willing to be separated from her, but at the same time wants to continue to live.

Hearing his greedy remarks, the woman said from behind the curtain in sorrow: "Mr. Sir, Yin and Yang are separated, and Yin and Yang are in order. This is the law of heaven and earth. How can it be so easy to break?"

Liang Xianzhi didn't answer any more, and the room fell into a long silence...
