The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator
Chapter 25 Ancient Fantasy 21
Su Yuanyuan ran up the mountain, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then squatted down in front of a small blade of grass.
She silently exerted her abilities, and the grass visibly grew bigger and thicker.
When it grew to half a person's height, sharp barbs began to grow all over its body. Su Yuanyuan was so frightened that she quickly withdrew her power, fearing that it would mutate if it continued to grow.
Su Yuanyuan reached out and gently touched the barbs on it. If anyone accidentally touched them, they would definitely get cut all over.
She tried to manipulate the grass again, causing the grass, which was half a person tall with barbs, to sway from side to side. Su Yuanyuan felt a gust of wind blow past.
"This must be a mutation." She reached out and grabbed the part of the root where the barbs hadn't yet grown, pulled it upwards, and easily pulled it out.
Su Yuanyuan picked it up and shook it. If it were a little longer, she could use it as a whip.
"This ability is pretty good. If I go to the world of martial arts in the future, I can learn to use a whip."
Su Yuanyuan played excitedly for a while, then realized her mother should be cooking dinner soon, and she would get scolded again if she didn't go back. She couldn't bear to leave it in a ravine.
Early that morning, Su Yuanyuan went out to town to deliver the menu for this month to Lin Zhixing and to ask if he had found a place to live.
"Miss Su, you've arrived. The manager is already waiting for you in the private room."
As soon as she entered, a waiter came to greet her. Su Yuanyuan nodded to indicate that she understood and went upstairs through the hall.
"You've arrived! Come and try this wine. It's what my family brought back from the Western Regions, and this is all that's left."
When Lin Zhixing saw her come in, he quickly waved for her to sit down and poured her a glass. Su Yuanyuan glanced at the wine in the glass, picked it up and smelled it. This was just wine.
"Try it and see how it is." Lin Zhixing urged her to drink some after seeing that she had only smelled it and put it down.
"We'll talk about it later. Here's this month's menu. Take a look first."
Su Yuanyuan wasn't in a hurry to drink; she'd rather take care of business first. It wasn't like she hadn't drunk before.
"Okay, I'll take a look."
Seeing that she wasn't drinking, Lin Zhixing didn't press her further and took the menu to look at it carefully.
"I really want to see how your brain works, how you can come up with so many ideas."
"You can't have this without envy."
"I can't exactly tell you that I just copied everything from books," Su Yuanyuan thought helplessly.
"By the way, I've found a house for you. There are two vacant courtyards. We can go take a look if you have time today."
Lin Zhixing put away the recipe and thought about the house.
"I'm free anytime, go see it now."
Su Yuanyuan was about to drink her wine when she heard this, so she immediately put it down and urged Lin Zhixing to leave now, as she couldn't wait to see the house.
"Okay, let's go then."
Lin Zhixing led Su Yuanyuan down a street and they arrived at a two-courtyard house.
"This is it. The original family moved to a neighboring province, and this house has been empty ever since. I've looked inside, and everything is still quite complete. It can be moved in after a little tidying up."
"Can we go in and take a look?" Su Yuanyuan walked around outside. The gate of the house was tall and thick, with a pair of door gods pasted on it.
There are rows of bamboo on both sides, and the gravel path in front of the door extends all the way to the main street. Sparse trees are planted on both sides of the road. The tree species are mixed, the canopies grow wildly, and the shadows of the trees are cast on the gravel path.
"Sure, come in."
Lin Zhixing opened the door and led her inside.
Facing you is a brick screen wall; after turning the wall, you suddenly see a spacious courtyard.
In the center of the courtyard is a pond, which must have been dry for a long time, with moss covering the crevices of the rocks.
The room directly in front was locked, but you could tell from the outside that it was quite spacious inside.
The two rooms on the left are for living, and they are simply furnished with a bed, a wardrobe, and a table and chairs.
The kitchen on the right has nothing inside except for the stove.
The other room was also empty, with some sawdust scattered on the ground. Su Yuanyuan thought this must be a place where firewood was stored.
"How is it? This courtyard is alright, isn't it?"
When Lin Zhixing saw her come out after she finished walking around, he went over and asked her.
"That's good. Let's take a look at another one and compare them."
Su Yuanyuan thought the courtyard was alright, but it didn't wow her.
"Okay, let's take another look then, let's go."
Lin Zhixing could tell that she didn't like the courtyard very much, so he immediately led her to the next place.
“The other courtyard is a bit far from the main street, but the surrounding environment is quiet and peaceful, and I think you would like it.”
"Then why don't you just take me there directly?"
"The best things are always saved for last, aren't they?"
Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at him speechlessly.
"We've arrived. Let's go inside and take a look."
Su Yuanyuan's eyes lit up as she looked at the courtyard in front of her; she really liked it.
As soon as you enter the courtyard, you are greeted by a field of rapeseed flowers. The rapeseed flowers are in full bloom now, golden and eye-catching in clusters.
Not to mention, as soon as you get close, the rich fragrance of flowers fills the whole world, it smells wonderful.
Not far behind the flower field is a pig and chicken farm, which is enclosed by a half-person-high wall. The inside is paved with bluestone slabs and is kept very clean.
The kitchen was just across a path, and there was a rainproof shelf on the side of the kitchen with firewood underneath.
There's also a shelf in front of the kitchen, and loofahs are growing on the ground next to the shelf, with the vines climbing up the shelf to the roof.
Next to the kitchen was a storeroom, also paved with bluestone slabs, containing only an empty box.
Further ahead are two living quarters, with a simple bamboo clothes rack in front of the house, a stone table and two stone benches next to it.
The room was empty except for the bed, but the sunlight streaming in through the carved wooden windows made it bright and airy.
There was a smaller storeroom next to it. The entire yard, including the flower field and the pigsty, was enclosed by a fence with a gate at the front and a gate at the back.
The paths in the courtyard are also paved with bluestone slabs, so there's no need to worry about stepping into mud when it rains.
There is a large space outside the courtyard, surrounded by shady trees, and there is a stream behind it, but I didn't see any fish in it.
Separated from the neighbors by a dirt road, a distance that allows them to look out for each other without disturbing one another.
Su Yuanyuan looked around the courtyard from left to right, absolutely delighted; this was simply the best choice for retirement.
"I like it here, so I'll buy it. How much?"
Su Yuanyuan sat on the stone bench and turned to ask Lin Zhixing.
Lin Zhixing also went over and sat down. "It's cheaper here. The original owner wanted to sell it for five hundred taels."
"so cheap?"
Su Yuanyuan looked at him suspiciously, wondering if there was something wrong with the house.
“This used to be lived by an elderly couple whose children all worked in the city and bought a house there. After the elderly couple moved away, their nephew took care of the house. Now their children want to start a business in the city and urgently need money, so they are thinking of selling it at a lower price.”
Su Yuanyuan was overjoyed when she heard this; she had gotten a great deal!
"Let's go here then. When will we sign the contract?"
"Anytime is fine. Their nephew is in charge, and he's in town."
