Chapter 324 The New House
"Sir, I have something to ask for." I bowed and said very respectfully.
The judge knew that the city lord had calmed down, so there was nothing to be nervous about. He had regained his arrogant attitude and said with contempt in his eyes: "Speak in advance, I only promised to let you go. If there were additional conditions, you need to give something of the same value to exchange."
It was indeed a dog official. I took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in my heart, and said calmly: "I need a house, not much luxury, but it needs enough for four people to live in. I will stay here as a corpse maker to repay it."
The judge pondered silently, not knowing what the hell was thinking about. After a long time, he spoke: "Yes, you stay as a corpse maker, and you have 100 silver coins every month. Now I will find the house for you, and then you will deduct it from your wages based on the price of the house."
One hundred silver coins! I clearly know the prices of the vast ancient country. One hundred silver coins should be able to support the four of us for a month, but this is only enough to eat. This dog official is really sure. Under the eaves, he has to bow his head. I still thanked him, "Thank you, sir."
In the morgue room, Ouyang Lan was chatting with Liu Xueyan, while Li En and Leng Zheng did not go to the construction site today, so they were studying tiger talismans.
"how's it going?"
I told them the current situation, "No need to worry about life problems now. Let's feel wronged in the past two days, and there will be a place to live at that time."
This room is very small and the bed is only enough for one person to sleep. So when you go to bed at night, you need to hold up the table and then sleep on the floor. Fortunately, the hygiene here is good, and there are no rats, cockroaches, etc.
"It's great that he can promise us, but thank you for your hard work." Leng Zheng patted my shoulder and said.
Li En said: "Brother, don't worry about it too much. I thought I would continue to be a coolie. Being able to live here has already made me feel very happy."
Ouyang Lan walked up to me with Liu Xueyan in her arms, comforted me and said, "Don't be too stressed. If you really can't fight, you can't fight and then go back to be a coolie. What can't fight? If you can't fight, you can't beat me, really... go..."
Ouyang Lan blushed and couldn't continue speaking the second half. I touched Ouyang Lan's hair, "What are you saying stupid things? With the three of us here, I will definitely not let you suffer more."
Liu Xueyan smiled and said, "Xiao Lan is so beautiful, we can't bear to leave her~"
"Hate it!"
Ouyang Lan turned around shyly, and the three of us smiled at the same time. After solving these problems, we felt much more relaxed.
Two days later, I was sewing the corpse in the morgue. Some accidents often occur in the city, such as fighting, murder, and being bitten to death by wild animals. So every two or three days, a corpse will be sent to me. Most of them are just small wounds, some are slightly more serious.
For example, the one in front of me was bitten to death by my mad dog. The wounds on my body were all made of the dog's teeth. The torn flesh was as big as a washbasin, and it also had dog hair on my body, and the smell of dog urine came over. When I sewed the last stitch, I thought to myself, and it was finally completed and I could rest for a while.
I held the body and put it into the coffin that had been prepared long ago, closed the lid of the coffin, tidied up my clothes, and waited until they came to carry the coffin away tomorrow. I was about to go back and have a rest when a rapid knock on the door rang out, "Little stone opened the door!"
I thought to myself why people are coming now. It's just early morning. But I still went to open the door. There was a hurried little sixteen and seventeen years old. He was the youngest official in the yamen. The judge asked him to partner with me. He would basically notify me of anything in the future.
"What's the reason why Xiao Liuzi doesn't sleep in the middle of the night?"
Xiao Liuzi was very anxious and took my hand and left. I said, "Oh, hey, the door is not closed yet." Although I was young, I was very strong. I was pulled out five or six meters. Xiao Liuzi shouted, "I can't take care of so many things, I have something urgent to ask you."
"What the hell is it?" I was not in a hurry, and no one stole the body there.
Xiao Liuzi said: "You have found the house you want. Don't you want to go and see it?"
I had been looking forward to the house for a long time, and Leng Zheng and the others complained that they were about to be crazy. I said, "Take me there quickly."
Xiao Liuzi smiled proudly, "I knew you would be anxious, go quickly, I've found all the carriage."
After getting on the carriage, about ten minutes later, we got off the carriage. In front of us was a courtyard. There were also small pieces of land in the yard, which could be used to plant a few trees. The corridor outside the house was very festive, with a total of ten rooms.
"The furniture inside is complete, so you don't need to buy it separately. How can you be satisfied?"
I didn't say anything. Xiao Liuzi asked me twice before I responded, "Satisfied, how can I be dissatisfied? Thank you Xiao Liuzi."
"Hehehe, it's actually nothing. I happened to work in this store. After I learned that they were going to sell their house, I remembered you." Xiao Liuzi smiled embarrassedly.
I took a deep breath and it was already very good. I was thinking that it would be good to find a small farmyard, but now it is far beyond expectations.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Liuzi looked angry.
I took out a bag containing ten silver coins, which was equivalent to his half-month salary. I said, "Don't you want it? Don't, just throw it away." I really want to throw it into the well when doing things.
Xiao Liuzi immediately felt distressed, "No, no, no, can I ask for it, can't I do it?"
I smiled and handed him the purse, "Don't make yourself suffer in the future. In addition, you should go to school to study some books at your age. If you are worried about tuition, come to me for it."
Xiao Liuzi's dark face left two lines of tears. I didn't know if I had said something wrong, so I thought he had received so much money for the first time and burst into tears. I said, "It's not too late, go back early to rest."
"Uh-huh!"
When I returned to the morgue, the door was still open, and the moonlight poured on the coffin was indescribable. I knew that the moonlight would increase the chance of zombie fraud, and it was a mad dog biting to death, so I must have resentment in my heart. When I left, I forgot about this. The coffin lid showed signs of fluctuation, so I hurriedly closed the door.
The coffin trembled for a while and then stopped. I leaned against the door, and I didn't dare to let out any more. I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead, so excited that I almost caused a big disaster. After locking the door, I went back to my room to sleep and asked them to move in tomorrow, and the judge had not yet talked to me about the price of the house.
Chapter completed!
