"But what?"

"But the locations are a bit scattered, so you have to go and see them one by one!"

Mrs. Wei thought for a while.

"It's best to be in a centralized location so it's easier to view the houses."

Wu Ting: "Mom, buying a courtyard house is a big deal. You have to choose carefully and don't do it for convenience."

"Hey, shut up!"

Wu Ting wanted to say something, but was stopped by the manager.

"Auntie, don't worry, as long as you can make requests, we will definitely satisfy you. Customers are our God."

"Siheyuan, more concentrated."

The manager kept looking through the information, and finally he found a place.

"Mom, what do you think of this place?"

Mrs. Wei looked at the courtyard house on the album. It was large enough and grand enough, so she nodded.

Then the manager took out a map, drew a circle on the map, and pointed it to Mrs. Wei.

"Mom, look, there are a total of six courtyard houses here. Except for the one next to it that currently has residents, the other five are all for sale."

Mrs. Wei looked at the map. There were three sets on the left and right with an alley in the middle. They seemed to be tailor-made for her.

"Okay, let's take a look at these sets."

Wu Ting looked at the map carefully and suddenly shouted:

“That place is haunted!”

"Wu Ting!"

The manager now regrets very much. Why did he take pity on this kid and bring him in to work? If this business fails, he will pack the kid and send him back to his elder brother tomorrow.

"Yes, manager."

Wu Ting instantly knew that he had said the wrong thing again.

"Auntie, there's nothing wrong with being haunted. Well, it's just because it's haunted that this place is cheap!"

Wu Ting looked serious.

The manager felt that the order was probably overdue. Older people are generally more superstitious and pay attention to feng shui and so on. Unexpectedly, he heard the old lady say with a smile:

"It's good to be haunted, but I don't like places that are too quiet!"

"what?"

"Mom, do you agree to go see this?"

Mrs. Wei nodded.

Until he stood in front of the courtyard, Wu Ting didn't understand the logic of liking haunted places and not liking quiet places.

"Does anyone really like haunted places?"

"Wu Ting, why are you so dazed? Hurry up and introduce the situation to Aunt Wei!"

"Ah good"

"Auntie, this is the haunted place recommended for you. There is an alley between the two buildings. It is called an alley, but the distance is wide enough, almost five meters. This is much better than other narrow alleys. You can enter the car Parking and other things are also more convenient.”

The manager sighed, there was no need to mention the haunting.

"Look inside."

When Wu Ting was looking for the key, the door of the only one of the six courtyard houses that was occupied suddenly "squeaked" and an old man with gray hair came out. He glanced this way with cloudy eyes, and then left again. Went back.

Wu Ting opened the door, and Mrs. Wei was about to go in.

The old man came out again.

A thick voice shouted:

"Over there, don't be fooled by the agent, this place has been haunted for more than a year!"

Mrs. Wei made eye contact with the old man, then smiled and replied:

"Thanks for reminding me, but I just like haunted things!"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then said something.

"wack"

Went back again.

Mrs. Wei smiled, turned to Wu Ting and said:

"Am I weird?"

Wu Ting shook his head.

"Compared with the old man just now, you are very normal."

Seeing Mrs. Wei's doubtful expression, Wu Ting explained:

"That uncle is a real weirdo. He hardly goes out. His children usually bring him food and drink. Under normal circumstances, he doesn't talk to anyone. There is a sycamore tree in his yard. No matter what he does, he guards it. A tree, talking to the sycamore tree day and night, that is to say, in the spring of last year, the place started to be haunted, and the five households had moved away, but the old man was always there, and nothing seemed to affect him, only the sycamore tree .”

Mrs. Wei glanced over there. The sycamore tree above the yard was tall and dense. It was just a tree, not a tree!

"That's really strange."

"Hey, stop talking about these things, let's go see the house quickly!"

The manager said helplessly:

Mrs. Wei smiled and began to take a formal look at the courtyard in front of her.

Mrs. Wei first looked at the three sets of houses next to each other. They were traditional courtyard houses facing south and facing south. The main door was against the wall and opened in the southeast.

There were two stone elephants placed on the left and right of the gate. Mrs. Wei took a look at the two houses on the left and right next to each other. They also placed stone elephants. She couldn't help but curiously asked:

"I saw it on TV. Aren't there stone lions placed at the gate? Why is there an elephant?"

"Auntie, in the past, there were strict requirements for the objects placed at the door. Stone lions were generally placed by high-ranking officials and senior officials. It is understood that the ancestors of these three courtyards were wealthy businessmen. According to regulations, they cannot be prevented. Of stone lions.”

"As for this stone elephant, it represents good luck and wishes come true."

Mrs. Wei nodded, indicating that she understood. Then she remembered what Wu Ting said just now and asked:

"Did you just say that these three courtyard houses have the same ancestor?"

Wu Ting nodded, led Mrs. Wei to the front of the third courtyard and introduced:

"These three courtyards used to be one, with east and west courtyards on the left and right. Later, the children of the family grew up, and after the family split, the three brothers formed their own family."

"Don't mention it, we also have three children at home, so it's quite suitable."

Mrs. Wei said with emotion:

Wu Ting sighed.

When the manager saw this, he just wanted to step forward and cover Wu Ting's mouth, but it was too late.

"Auntie, let me tell you, the three brothers later turned against each other because of their interests. There used to be small interconnecting gates inside. Later, after they broke up, the small gates were blocked. Later, the three sets of courtyards were resold. It was bought by different families. I feel that the feng shui of this house is not good and it is not harmonious. I heard that the three families living here often quarreled. Either the male owner of this family cheated or the female owner of that family cheated. So, if there is any slight disturbance, then sell it all."

The manager patted his head with his big hand.

Then he pulled Wu Ting aside.

"Auntie, please wait a moment!"

"Uncle, why are you pulling me? Didn't you see that I was introducing the history of this house to Aunt Wei?"

The manager lowered his voice and said:

"Did your father send you here to punish me?"

"Uncle, what are you talking about? My dad always says bad things about you. He doesn't do serious things at his age. He doesn't save any money and spends it too much. But you have to believe that your elder brother will never do it. Mix up things at work!"

Seeing his uncle's livid face, Wu Ting quickly covered his mouth.
