The casual life of the flat space

"Thank you, Brother Zuo. Can you introduce me to other houses that meet my requirements?" Bai Tieying wanted to get a bargain, but she couldn't make it too obvious. What's more, she didn't dare to buy the house unless she understood the haunted house issue - it's not that she's not afraid of ghosts, but she's afraid of people dressed as ghosts.

There are so many ghosts, and besides, all the books she read in the original world for so many years were not read in vain. When Zuo Xiaoge told her the gossip, she had already seen the house in the space. There was no secret room, but there was a tunnel.

It's not surprising that the Cui family used tricks to take over a prosperous shop, but why would a grain shop be in such a good location? And why did they dig a tunnel? Whose family was the one connected to the other end of the tunnel?

Why would a shop that had been in business for many years and a family that had been in the county for hundreds of years compromise with the unspeakable means of a new county magistrate who had been in office for two years? Or were the county magistrates in the past hundred years not as resourceful as Xiao Taicong?

Even if it was, why did the Cui family close the store in June? At that time, Xiao Qian hadn't even arrived in the capital yet! Even if they had some plan, like other families, they would pay "rent" every year and wait for the county magistrate to be promoted or leave to avoid breaking up. It was nearly three months early, no wonder everyone was so curious about the Cui family's "luck".

During Zuoya's subsequent introduction, Bai Tieying asked a few questions from time to time, and slowly found out the situation - it was indeed the Cui family! In other words, it was the Cui family who ordered it.

No one knows who the house belongs to, but the tunnel was dug from the southwest to the northeast of Guanglefang, almost forming a diagonal line, and the old house of the Cui family is located in Xuanrenfang, north of Guanglefang.

Go out from the house at the exit of the tunnel, through an alley, and a street is the main entrance of Cui's house. You don't have to go through the main entrance, as long as you walk through the streets between the market, you can reach the back door openly.

Dayu's urban construction followed Dahao's market system. However, because Dayu's treasury was empty in the early days of the founding of the country, it encouraged merchants to trade, and the market system gradually became a name without substance.

Just like the curfew, as long as it is not a border pass or a place that needs to defend against foreign enemies, the people have almost no concept of curfew, even in the capital. If it weren't for the fact that it gets dark early in the north and this place is considered a border pass and needs to close the city gates, Bai Tieying would have a spatial map to refer to, and it would be almost impossible to tell which is which.

"Miss Bai, which one do you think you are more interested in? How about I take you to have a look?" Zuoya asked after the introduction.

"Okay, then please take me to these three stores, Brother Zuo."

"You, you are going to..."

"It doesn't hurt to take a look. The location is good, the place is big, and most importantly, it's cheap!" Bai Tieying knew that the Zuoya people would have this reaction, and he had already thought of a response plan.

"Well, how about you take your family to take a look?" Zuoya knew that Miss Bai had the ability to buy a house, but he would still feel embarrassed if her family had any objections to such a house with a bad reputation.

"Well, that's fine. Wait for me for a while!"

Bai Tieying said goodbye to Zuoya people and walked out of the Yaxing. She found a deserted place and entered the space. She was going to call out her "backer" friend again.

"Sister, why are you here?" Bai Tiexiong was very happy to see his sister suddenly appear. He wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve and flew into his sister's arms.

The fat kid was too much for Tieying to bear. So when he was one foot away from her, Bai Tieying very naturally moved a step to the right, then pulled his arm and turned it half a circle, stopping his forward movement and holding him in her arms.

"Have you had lunch? Didn't you drink any water this afternoon? Why aren't you wearing the hat I asked Grandpa Gao to knit for you? Be careful not to hurt your eyes!"

"I ate it. Grandpa Yang stewed cabbage for lunch, and I ate a bowl of rice. I drank a barrel of well water in the morning. Wearing a hat is in the way, so I, uh... I'll put it on right now."

Bai Tiexiong answered his sister's question like pouring beans, but then he remembered that he did not listen to his sister to protect his eyes, so he quickly ran back to find his hat.

"Hello, Uncle Qiu! Tiexiong is not naughty, is he? If he doesn't listen, you can punish him. I have absolutely no objection." Bai Tieying said as he walked towards where they were practicing and greeted Uncle Qiu.

"Haha, Tieying is here? Don't worry, I'm teaching him like my own nephew! This kid is smart, I'm not exaggerating! I've never seen such a smart guy before! I won't ruin my reputation."

"I feel relieved when you say that. By the way, these are the materials you asked me to buy for making bows and arrows." Bai Tieying brought a lot of things and continued, "But he must have wasted your time practicing with you every day. Do you think this is okay? I'll ask you to be his master, and if you don't mind, I'll accept his salary."

"Oh, I don't deserve that. Don't we have shifts here? I just happened to have nothing to do recently, so I took him in. But he's not worthy of being my apprentice."

"A teacher who is just a teacher is still a teacher. Since you like Tiexiong so much, it must be the fate between you two. Or... were you just being polite?"

"Hey! You are looking for me here, aren't you? Good! Then I will accept Tiexiong as my apprentice. As for the tuition fee, there is no need to pay it. I heard from Brother Qiu that you cook delicious food. Well, I love to eat fish, so you can prepare a whole fish feast for me, and I won't say anything!"

Bai Tieying glanced at the "big mouth" friend next to him, and Mu Qingqiu immediately felt a chill running from the base of his tail to his neck, and the arrow in his hand that was about to be shot suddenly lost its aim.

"It's no big deal. Even if you don't want to be my disciple, you still have to eat and drink. Then it's settled. Let me thank you on behalf of Tiexiong!"

After Qiu Ge and I finish our work this afternoon, we will go fishing. We will have a fish feast tonight. Please tell Grandpa Yang to set up two big stoves outside."

"Hey, little girl, you have such a quick temper! Okay! I'll go find Old Yang right now. Brother Qiu, let's stop here today! Tiexiong, come with me to find your Grandpa Yang!" Uncle Qiu shouted to Bai Tiexiong who was running back from a distance, and went to meet him with the pile of materials that Bai Tieying had just brought.

"Hey, Tieying, do you want to talk to me about something?"

"Brother Mu, if you want to eat fish, can you just tell me? Have we become so distant after not seeing each other for a few days?"

"Hey, well, I... I just mentioned it. Sorry! I won't say that anymore!"

"Don't worry about it later. Now is the time for you to atone for your sins! Pack up and come with me, please."

"What are you going to do?"

"Buying you some coffee."

"What to drink?"

"Hey, hurry up, why are you taking so long?"
