Chapter 30: Cloud Shadow in March 1995
Cloud Shadow in March 1995
The news that I want to sell the house is not a secret in Luhe Village.
The location of my house is not bad in the village. The most important thing is that it has been carefully and newly renovated at a high cost. The beautiful and strong ceiling and the fireplace are very envious of the villagers who are fortunate to see my house.
Especially the fireplace, not only does it draw the thick smoke outside the house to ensure the vigorous fire, but more importantly, it saves a lot of indoor space compared to stacking the fire pit in the middle of the house. My house is not that big in the village, but The interior space is more spacious than anyone else's, which is inseparable from the fact that my house has the only fireplace in the village.
The structure of the fireplace is not complicated, but it is not so easy to imitate it. Others in the village also want to do the same. They have tried several times without success. Some people want to ask me how to make it, hoping to make one in their own home. That paragraph I was so busy with my work that I wasn't interested in helping at all.
Well, now that I'm selling the house, whoever takes over my house can enjoy the warmth of the fireplace, and if he's observant and thoughtful, it's not difficult to figure out the point of building a fireplace.
In the eyes of the villagers, a fireplace is a brand new thing. Learning to build a fireplace can become a means of earning a living for a lifetime, just like building a house. , but on the other hand was very eager for the function of the fireplace and its prospects.
Everyone in the village said that even if I didn't bring a dog, I would not starve to death as long as I built fireplaces for each household.
Some smart people even think of building a fireplace in the town. The gentlemen in the town are much more lavish. Those gentlemen will definitely like something as beautiful and useful as a fireplace. If I go to work in the town, I will earn more than There are more guards in the village.
The way they express and imply is nothing more than the hope that I can hand over the method of building the fireplace, so that they can also get the light.
I have been in the village for a long time, and I also know what kind of people the Luhe villagers are. They will be very friendly and humble towards a person like me who has a big dog and cannot be threatened. When I got to Shanghe Village so unarmed and homeless, they would have torn me up without a doubt, just because I was wearing clothes and shoes on my feet.
I make it clear to them now: there is no way to build a fireplace for nothing, but if someone takes over my house and learns to imitate it, that's his luck.
I am so ignorant, the villagers can't do anything about me, but they also understand me. I already have a child at such a young age, and I have a big dog. The living expenses cannot be small. I am willing to sell the house as a gift to the villagers. In exchange for them to live in a beautiful house like me, what other people like to say, no Convenience is inconvenient, and they don't move when they die.
I said that I would only move after the beginning of the spring. The villagers also knew that the beginning of the spring was the last time for me to sell the house, so as the snow gradually subsided and the cold wind was no longer whistling during the day, people in the village who were interested in taking over my house offered their prices one after another. with the conditions.
A colleague of mine in the militia was the first to bid. He is a lumberjack himself and one of the people I hired to build the house. He was very interested in the craftsmanship of stacking fireplaces, and he himself admired my property. A "luxury" home.
Not only him, but almost everyone in the village had an excellent impression of my clean, tidy, warm and dry house when they visited. The village chief even said that my house reminded him of the home of the master in the town. This comfort was a world away from his own home.
The few planting bars in my house made of stones and covered with soil also opened the eyes of the villagers. Although there were only three small ones, they opened their mouths when they saw the green and tender wild vegetables growing in the moist soil in winter. Excited mood can not be calm for a long time.
The most exaggerated is the village witch doctor aunt. She insisted that the reason why I can grow something is because I used earth magic. After I repeatedly denied my own use of magic, she grabbed my arm and asked if I didn't use mine. Soil magic, why can I grow things in the soil in winter, can she grow herbs at home like me.
I was wondering why she was so sure that I knew "earth magic". The witch doctor aunt said mysteriously that I didn't have to cover up, others couldn't see it, but she was a sensible person. The first time she saw me, she knew that I was with me. Others are different, I have the smell of soil on me, and she has seen it on other people.
I'm used to seeing witch doctor aunt pretending to be a ghost, and I'm too lazy to talk to her.
My militia colleagues and his wife have been living in the village for almost eight years, and they don't have their own residence yet. They are willing to spend twenty gold coins to buy my house, and they will pay me some other things as collateral in the future.
Twenty gold coins are the couple's savings for many years, but it's still far from the value of my house. As for the simple farm tools he wanted to use as a supplement, I didn't even bother to look at them.
Colleagues in the militia only quoted with the mentality of giving it a try. In fact, someone offered a price far exceeding his price in a blink of an eye. Their husband and wife also gave up and obediently found a house that suited them.
The village clerk, the young man who looked to be in his early twenties, was also very interested in my house.
The secretary is a person who has seen the world. He is the second cultural person in Luhe Village who can read and write besides the village chief. His family not only owns the logging farm in the village, but also has a rich industry in the town. He lives in his own lavish longhouse with his parents and wife, but after seeing the house I'm going to sell, I think it's more appealing to him.
My house is not far from his office, and the condition of the house is indeed better than other kennels in the village, so he is extravagantly offering the price of forty-five gold coins. Not only that, he is in charge of the exchange and conversion of all the land in the village. When I want to change a house on a high slope, or rebuild a house on a high slope somewhere, I patted my chest and said that he can do it.
Another strong contender was Aunt Witch Doctor, who valued the "magic" of my ability to grow plants indoors, and a hunched old woman liked by the warm fireplace, and she told me if I wanted to. Exchange my house with hers, and she will accept me as an apprentice, guide me to use my talent for earth magic, and teach me to become a witch doctor.
The conditions of the witch doctor aunt caused an uproar in the village. Many people in the village could not even believe their ears. Even the secretary was shocked and gave up the bidding in a gloomy manner.
Everyone thought the witch doctor had won.
The witch doctor is very prestigious in the village. She not only cures diseases and exorcises evil spirits in the village, but is also the guardian of the village people. The "beast spirit" worshipped by the witch doctor has many believers in the village. In the eyes of the village people, the witch doctor is mysterious and mysterious. Strong, so they can enjoy the sacrifices in the village with peace of mind. I don’t know how many people hope that their children can become apprentices of the witch doctor, and even just serving around is a great honor, but the witch doctor has never promised anyone, and so far lives alone.
Now, the witch doctor actually took the initiative to accept me as an apprentice?
I saw the surprised and envious expressions of the villagers. Not only my colleagues, but even the secretary said that I was really lucky.
However, I rejected the witch doctor without thinking.
"What... what?" The witch doctor opened her mouth full of cracked teeth, her pale eyes widened and she looked at me: "You said you... refused?"
"Your house is in the corner of the village, small and dilapidated. , my house is completely incomparable in terms of location, size, and newness." I ignored her shock and surprise at all: "I changed my house to live in a higher place. Your house is in a low-lying place. I don't want it, let alone my expensive house, how could I agree?"
"But I..." The witch doctor aunt didn't seem to believe her ears: "I said I would accept you as an apprentice, I Get the witch doctor's secret..."
I didn't even want to tell her more: "I need a home that meets my requirements, I can't be your apprentice, you know, I have a son to support."
I was about to be witched . The naive thought of the medical aunt who thought she could rub my house for free and still charge me as a coolie made me laugh.
This is indeed an era of worshipping the strong and worshipping authority. Being a witch doctor's apprentice to serve her, help her with chores and learn her magical knowledge is a good opportunity that the villagers dream of, but I am not rare. The slaves are not interested.
"I'm glad you're interested in my house, but you have to come up with something substantial, want me to be an apprentice and give the house to you for nothing, you can't do it!" I said it very clearly.
The witch doctor was ashamed and angry, but he couldn't turn his back on me. Ah Fu by my side was the top fighting force in the village. It would be irrational for anyone to take revenge against me.
The witch doctor wanted to take over my house even though her family was bankrupt, but her savings was pitiful, only less than fifteen gold coins. She said that she was willing to give me some of her potions as collateral, but I had no interest in those stored in small wooden jars. I'm not interested in things, just tell her that if she really wants to know how to grow plants indoors, give me money and I'll teach her the knowledge.
The witch doctor aunt was not reconciled, but her followers did not dare to stand up for her, and she couldn't really cast a spell on me or kill me in any way because she couldn't take advantage of it, so she could only agree.
I turned around and talked to the secretary about the specific details of the house handover. The secretary was overjoyed and completely accepted my request for an increase in the amount of gold coins and an additional piece of land to build a house.
The people of Luhe Village are not good at farming, the population is small, and there is no shortage of land in the village. He thought it was a good deal for me to give 50 gold coins and a high slope with shrubs and weeds on the side of the village entrance. Even the village chief agreed with it.
The high slope faces the village, and behind it is a cliff by the river. It was originally the corner of the village, and no one would pass by. I don’t worry about affecting other people’s going out. I am close to the village entrance to better protect the village. is a good thing.
This month’s work is as easy as last month. In addition to doing housework, practicing guns and taking care of my son, I also spend time sketching and designing a new house. The workers have already been found in this village, and the construction will start when the weather warms up and the land thaws. .
The improved fireplace and kang have been included in my house drawings. Not only that, but the basement, courtyard walls and flower beds in the courtyard of the new house are also in my plans. This is the first time I can design my own at will. House, I went to the bookstore to read a lot of books before, and now there are many wonderful ideas waiting for me to realize.
