“Brother Leisure, this house of yours might be haunted.”
Zhou Kexin commented thoughtfully.
“Sister Zhou, do you see a problem?”
Zhou Kexin’s current identity was that of a nurse working in the psychological treatment room. She had probably learned some skills from Chen Yu.
Perhaps, she could see what was wrong with the house.
“The house you bought is too desolate,” Zhou Kexin explained with a complicated expression. “Is this place really habitable?”
The photo was taken using aerial photography.
It was an old, antique house.
Just as Hu Liang had said, the old house had a classical charm.
Other than this old house, there were other things in the photo.
It was this that made Zhou Kexin think that the house was unclean.
The old mansion was surrounded by weeds, giving off a desolate feeling.
Furthermore, there were no other houses around.
Although it was called an old house, it was more like a deserted house abandoned for a long time.
No matter how she looked at it, it was strange to her.
The old mansion was simple and unadorned, and the surrounding environment was desolate.
Add these to the location it was in…
Zhou Kexin didn’t dare to think about it anymore.
“I thought you saw the problem.”
Hu Liang smiled bitterly.
Ever since he bought this old mansion, Hu Liang has heard all kinds of questions and bafflement.
His colleagues, relatives, and friends had all asked him about it.
Why did he buy this kind of place out of the village?
It was an old mansion surrounded by weeds.
No matter how you look at it, it seems like a haunted house in a horror movie.
“Ever since my girlfriend and I moved to the countryside more than two years ago and lived in seclusion, we gradually fell in love with this kind of rural life where no one disturbed us.”
“We aren’t used to people around us anymore.”
After deciding to buy a house, Hu Liang and his girlfriend looked at countless of them and were not satisfied with any of them.
Most old houses were in crowded areas, and only this one was in a more secluded location.
The flaws in the eyes of others had all become advantages for them.
The environment was remote, so there was no need to worry about being disturbed by others.
Of course, the price was cheap.
Also, the prices of these old mansions built during the Ming and Qing Dynasties were sky-high if they were in more inhabited places.
After searching for half a month, the two finally found this old mansion that suited all their criteria.
Although the surroundings were overgrown with weeds and the environment was remote, it was only a tiny problem.
Hu Liang found another photo.
Zhou Kexin could see the overall situation around the old mansion more clearly through this new photo.
Not only were there weeds everywhere, but there was also a small hill nearby.
“Oh…”
Zhou Kexin gasped.
She did not know if it was a psychological effect, but the more she looked at the mountain, the more it looked like a grave.
There were a few trees at the foot of the mountain that looked like incense sticks standing in front of a grave.
“Although the surroundings are overgrown with weeds and there are many rocks on the mountain, as long as they are cleared, not only will it not affect the ancient charm of the old residence, but it will also accentuate the charm of the place.”
“My girlfriend and 1 were planning to buy a weed cutter to clean up the weeds nearby and then open up the land.”
“We want to raise chickens, farm, and build a flowerbed at the foot of the mountain.”
“We were already planning to clean up the rocks on the mountain, open up farmland, and build a small pavilion.”
At this point, Hu Liang sighed.
With all the strange things happening in the house, his and his girlfriend’s ideas were all put on hold.
He bought the old mansion partly because the price was low.
At the same time, it was placed near a large village three kilometers away.
Everything was available in the village.
There was no need to worry about food and drink after they moved in.
The old mansion was not far from the village, yet there weren’t many people nearby.
The overall environment and location were simply tailored for the two of them.
“Mr. Hu, take us there,” Chen Yu said as he stood up.
“Alright, please follow me.”
Not long after, the three of them got into a car.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the old mansion.
After getting out of the car, Zhou Kexin took out her phone and started taking photos.
Ignoring the problems with the surrounding environment, the old mansion itself was indeed gorgeous.
It had the elegance of an ancient garden.
With his hands behind his back, Chen Yu walked to the door and sized up the old mansion’s entrance with a playful gaze.
The door faintly smelled of paint and had two shiny knockers nailed to it.
“This door is the original door, right?” Chen Yu asked.
“That’s right.”
The old mansion before Chen Yu wasn’t in its original appearance.
This old house had been uninhabited for many years.
When Hu Liang bought it, it was basically run down.
The old residence had holes inside and outside, and many places were mottled and damaged, especially the two doors.
The door had been torn apart and thrown into the weeds.
The knocker on the door had also been pried away.
Fortunately, the overall structural problem was not unsolvable.
The old house belonged to the village committee, and Hu Liang and his girlfriend bought it in full.
He then personally renovated the old mansion.
“Let’s go in.”
As Chen Yu listened to Hu Liang’s introduction, he thoughtfully looked at the wall beside the door.
Hu Liang took out his phone and started an app.
In the next second, a clicking sound came from the door.
Then, the door slowly opened.
“Brother Leisure, is this an automatic door?” Zhou Kexin asked in surprise.
“Yes.” Hu Liang nodded and explained, “These two doors are made of solid wood. Each door is estimated to weigh more than a hundred pounds.”
“I’m fine with it, but my girlfriend is petite. She has to use all her strength to open the door every time.”
“Therefore, I modified the door.”
“Wow, so beautiful!”
Not long after, the three of them followed the door to the front yard.
Many beautiful potted plants and a small rockery were in the front yard.
Apart from that, there were also three armchairs and a long dining table.
“My girlfriend likes to grow flowers and grass. She planted these potted plants herself.”
“The rockery was originally in the old mansion.”
“Mr. Hu,” Chen Yu said with a faint smile, “you told me before that you and your girlfriend encountered all sorts of strange things after moving here.” “Other than the two of you, did anyone else encounter something strange?” “Yes, yes, yes! Dr. Chen, you’re really amazing.”
Hu Liang had a look of admiration on his face.
How was Chen Yu a mere psychologist? He was a deity at this point.
Chen Yu knew everything before he even said anything.
The old mansion was too big. Hu Liang and his girlfriend couldn’t repair it alone.
Hu Liang found a nearby village and hired a few renovation workers to help them renovate the house.
At the same time, he also inquired about the origins of the old mansion.
The workers were natives of the neighboring village, but no one could tell why the place was abandoned.
They only knew that there was an old mansion here for as long as they could remember.
It had been uninhabited for many years.
However, there was something strange.
The elders in the village never allowed children to come near here.
If they asked, what awaited them was a series of whacks..
