Ji Que stood in this alley he had entered by mistake and had a particularly wonderful feeling for a moment.

One moment he was walking in the bustling night market, and now he was in this quiet moonlit alley. It really felt like he was walking in a dream.

People who love art and pretentiousness say that liking a city often starts from liking a certain person in the city; for greedy people, liking a city starts from liking the food in the city.

Ji Que obviously prefers the latter, and he has been doing this these days, but at this moment, he prefers this kind of beauty of tranquility amidst the chaos.

He really liked this alley in the moonlight.

It has the smell of human fireworks that he has always liked.

Sangshui County, where I lived before, was quiet but not popular. Especially after Tang Yi left, it became even more deserted.

Ji Que was really full after eating, so he propped up the recliner he brought with him and lay down comfortably.

In front of him was a ditch filled with moonlight, and above his head were small branches and vines hanging down. Along with the cool breeze, Ji Que quickly entered a mysterious and mysterious realm.

He closed his eyes, but he could clearly feel the mottled spots on the wall, the dew on the branches, and a fish jumping out of the water in the clear ditch, shattering the moonlight.

At this moment, he thought of Tang Yi.

He thought of Tang Yi sitting on this recliner, that kind of lazy mood, where the person and the chair were one.

This is the first time he has been so close to this state, and it is especially beautiful.

After that, Ji Que seemed to be possessed by Tang Yi. He couldn't leave and didn't want to leave, so he fell asleep with the night breeze and the fragrance of flowers.

This time, he slept soundly and was more comfortable than when he slept in an underground room in an inn.

In the early morning, Ji Que was awakened by a few drops of dew.

After that, Ji Que came to the ditch, took out wicker sticks, fine salt, and a wooden cup from the book, brushed his teeth and washed himself.

He wasn't too worried about whether there was something wrong with the water, because he saw someone washing up downstream.

After washing up, Ji Que stuffed these things back.

The experience last night was really wonderful. While Ji Que was packing up the precious recliner, he was thinking about whether there were any cheap houses for rent nearby.

Until then, he noticed a piece of paper taped to the wall where he had been lying there last night.

The old yellow paper with a small half missing had the words "This house is for rent" written on it.

No way, you are so lucky?

Just when he wanted to live nearby, there was a house for rent here. This was such good luck that Ji Que found it difficult to adapt to it.

After that, he started to rent a house.

But the piece of paper on the wall was already torn, and there was no information about the owner of the house. He knocked on the door, but no one answered.

So Ji Que had no choice but to find a dental broker.

The so-called broker is an ancient intermediary.

The brokers in Yahang were very enthusiastic. When they heard that he wanted to rent a house there, and the owner happened to be entrusting them to rent and sell it, they immediately took him there.

The person who looked at the house with him was a young broker who was fourteen or fifteen years old. Like ordinary brokers, he kept praising the quality of the house.

The most important thing is that it is extremely cheap.

No, it cannot be called cheap, it is called cost-effective.

The rent is one tael a month, and the rent starts from half a year, and the full rent is only ten taels a year.

Compared to an inn where the price is five cents a night, it's like prostitution for nothing.

However, on the way there, Ji Que had already made a plan in his heart.

At this price, the house is probably not that good.

But because of what happened last night, he has almost decided that if the house is not particularly bad, he will probably rent it.

The door to the room that was destined for him last night was opened.

The walls of this courtyard are not high, and the gate is a bit old, but when he opened the door, Ji Que was a little surprised.

The layout inside is similar to a small courtyard. There is a well in the spacious yard. It should be to prevent leaves and debris from falling into it. The well head is covered with a wooden cover.

There was a little dust piled on the lid, and two stones were pressed on it.

There is a tall jujube tree on the east side of the yard, which seems to be growing well.

The little broker next to him quickly introduced: "Master, if you had come two months earlier, you should still be able to eat these big and sweet dates."

"Look at the back." Ji Que said.

Outside the back door of the house is a small wasteland.

The wasteland is overgrown with weeds, and there are also some abandoned vegetable fields and gourd racks, probably left by the people who lived there before.

This place was really not too small. After that, Ji Que and the agent went to look at the main house, the side house, the kitchen, and even the latrine.

Although there is a layer of fine dust inside and outside the room, in terms of shape and layout, it is actually better than my small courtyard in Sangshui County.

"A place like this costs one tael a month? The rent starts from half a year, and the full rent only costs ten taels a year? How is this really the same as free prostitution?" Ji Que thought about the price and wondered secretly.

Based on his understanding of prices and rents in Tianren City, it shouldn't be so cheap.

So he couldn't help but ask: "How can it be so cheap?"

The little broker hurriedly said: "Young master, you are a foreigner, and I won't fool you. In the southeast and northwest of Tianren City, the big shots like the east city. The rich and elegant people like the Qingyun River in the south. The north is quite satisfactory. Only

This west side is the most affordable.

What can I say about this area? Although it is a single-family house, it is indeed a little out of the way. The rich don't like it, and the poor simply find a common house to live in. The house is not rented out for a long time, and it is always empty. The landlord often

If you don’t exist, it’s just so cheap.”

"Sir, the area here is really good. Just turn left and you'll find the night market a few streets away. It's very convenient. Look at this alley. Not only is there a faint fragrance of flowers, it's quiet even during the day. There's not even a sound of shouting.

This area in the west of the city is the most peaceful place amidst the chaos.

From a young perspective, although this place is far away from places of interest such as Qingyun Canal and Yuhua Rock, Gongziqin wants to live there for a long time. In the words of our locals, those who yearn for those places are all aiming for it.

It’s just for fun and following trends, but living in a place like this is what life is.”

Although he knew that this was the talk of a small broker, Ji Que's heart was moved when he heard it.

He said that he no longer wanted to rent, but wanted to buy.

Um, I've traveled through time, why am I still thinking about buying a house?

Seeing that he was still hesitant, the little broker continued: "Sir, this house is just a little dusty. It will look brand new after it is tidied up. The shop happens to have a cleaning service. It only costs seven coins, and it is guaranteed to be spotless."

Ji Que asked doubtfully: "Is it spotless?"

In fact, what he was most worried about was the condition of the latrine. After taking a look at it, he couldn't help but hold his nose and said, "Can this one be spotless?"

The little broker nodded and said, "Of course it's no problem, I just need to add some money."

"Okay, that's it. Can you clean it up today?"

"I promise there will be no problem. How long are you going to rent it for? As soon as I saw you, I was destined to this house."

Although Ji Que had already made a decision in his heart, he still did not express his intention to rent it, saying: "Let your people be clean first."

The little broker was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he had encountered this kind of house cleaning before renting it.

"Don't worry, the cleaning fee will be calculated."

"Okay." After hearing this, the little broker naturally no longer hesitated and ran to the store.

Ji Que sat on the deck chair to rest as usual. After about two sticks of incense, the little broker came over with five people.

These five people were carrying various cleaning tools, and they looked very professional at first glance.

After about an hour and a half, the whole house really became completely new.

A small table and chairs that had been placed in the house were cleaned and placed in front of a window. Ji Que sat down naturally.

Sitting here, he could see the scene of the alley.

At the other end of the road paved with bluestones, there was a little girl about seven or eight years old, who was walking with her father selling flowers.

She wears her hair in a cute little bun and loves to smile. When she smiles, she has two shallow dimples on her face, which is quite cute.

From time to time, people pass by, asking for flowers to buy flowers, or not paying attention, or walking in groups, or alone.

Looking at the simple-dressed people in the alleys and listening to the gurgling sound of water in the ditch in front of the window, Ji Que truly felt once again that he was really no longer in the original time and space.

Outside the house, the fallen leaves in the small courtyard were swept together and stacked very comfortably.

This was also the first time Ji Que had the urge to settle down again after leaving Sangshui County.

This should be a very suitable place for him to nest for a long time.

The broker stood aside with a smile, made him a cup of tea with freshly boiled water, and asked: "Guest, this house is almost cleaned. What do you think?"

Ji Cuo nodded and said, "Very satisfied."

"How long do you plan to rent it for? This place would be good for more than a year."

Ji Que tapped the slightly old table top with his fingers and said, "Is this house for sale?"

Broker: "!!!"
