Chapter 74

[Chapter 74]

Zhao Hai stood at the foot of the bare hill, turned his head to look at the lush mountains around him, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart.

When he first heard Green’s words, he still felt very strange, a mountain, plus a manor, only bought a hundred gold coins in total, which seems to be too cheap, right? But when he got to the bottom of the mountain, he realized why the mountain was so cheap, and the cheap price was really not good.

This mountain has really answered that sentence, and at a glance, even if you really look at it with one eye, you can still know what is going on in this mountain.

There are no other specialties on this mountain. If there are any specialties, there is only one thing, stones. You can see blue stones everywhere. You can also see weeds coming out of the cracks in the stones. There is a small manor on the top of the mountain, and the outer wall is also made of bluestone. The whole mountain feels like a leprosy with a small hat on his head, showing a half-gloss scalp and a few strands left. Hair, not to mention awkward.

Green stood beside Zhao Hai, and naturally saw Zhao Hai’s face, and he couldn’t help blushing. He also knew that the mountain was really ugly, but there was no way, the housing prices and land prices in the vicinity of Casa City were comparable. Other places are high, and they don’t have much money in their hands, only this mountain is suitable for them.

Green knew that Zhao Hai was dissatisfied, and quickly said: “Master, although this mountain doesn’t look very good, the manor is not too small. In addition, from the foot of the mountain to the manor, roads have been built, it is convenient to walk, and the manor is not too small. There is also a hot spring, and the bubble hot spring is also very good.”

Zhao Hai understood that Green was afraid that he would not like this mountain and that manor, Zhao Hai smiled slightly: “It’s fine, this place is very good, it is such a place, only No one will look at it, it will be safer, if there is any treasure on this mountain, I really dare not buy it, I am guilty.”

Green nodded, to be honest, when he bought this yard , I really didn’t think about it that much, I just felt that it was very cheap and it was not far from Casa City, but it was the best thing for Zhao Hai to think so, he didn’t have to worry about Zhao Hai’s dissatisfaction with this place.

Merlin and Meg also stood by Zhao Hai’s side. To be honest, let’s not talk about Zhao Hai, even if they both felt very dissatisfied when they saw this mountain.

Zhao Hai didn’t care, turned around and entered the room inside the alien body, and directed the alien to walk up the mountain. He really wanted to see what was in the manor.

As Green said, the only good thing about this stone mountain is that there is a stone road from the corner of the mountain to the manor at the top of the mountain. This stone road is obviously not paved with stones, and uses some The natural stones are excavated, and they are five meters wide. The person who built this road is very smart. The location he chose is the place with the least undulations on the rock mountain, so there is no need to excavate too many stones. Especially high stones can be cleaned up.

But Zhao Hai looked at this road a little strange. Although he lived in the plains of northern China before and had never seen any mountains, he still knew very well that the general road to the mountains was not directly to the road. What is built on the top of the mountain is usually a winding mountain road.

The so-called winding mountain road is a road built from the bottom of the mountain and spiraling upwards. Although the road built in this way is much longer than the road going straight up the mountain, because the road has changed, the slope has become gentler. , which is more conducive to the action of the vehicle.

However, the road on the rocky mountain of Zhao Hai and the others is straight to the top of the mountain. It is inevitable that the slope of this road is very steep. According to Zhao Hai’s calculations, if you are on earth, if you are riding a carriage, you want to climb this road. It’s not that easy, I’m afraid it is difficult for Ma to climb the mountain just pulling an empty car.

However, Zhao Hai didn’t say anything, because he also discovered that there are traces of cars passing by on this road, which means that this road can be used. Zhao Hai also understands that the Ark Continent cannot be based on the situation on Earth. Judgment, so he didn’t say anything, just walked straight up the mountain with the alien.

Soon they got to the front of the manor. It was not clearly written on the manor. The bluestone wall more than three meters high was very tall and strong. The tall wooden door had a lot of paint on it. It looked like It’s a little old, but it still gives people a very solid feeling. There are also some moss growing on the stones of the wall. It seems that there has been no one to take care of it for a while.

Zhao Hai and the others got off the alien body and walked to the wooden door. The forest door is more than two meters high and nearly five meters wide. The paint on the top has come off, but the original color of the wooden board inside is revealed, which looks very vicissitudes.

Green stepped forward and pushed open the wooden door forcefully. There was a screeching screeching sound, and the wooden door was slowly pushed open.

As soon as the door was opened, Zhao Hai and the others lit up in front of them, not to mention how good the scenery in this yard is, and this yard is very big, and it is no worse than the small square in the inner fort of Chengtieshan Castle.

For such a big square, even building a small castle is enough, but in this manor, it seems a bit too big.

After passing the square, there is a row of houses. There are about four houses in this row, but none of these four houses seem to be used for living. Each room is of wood and stone structure. The door, and a window that is two meters long and more than one meter wide, the roof is flat, and it seems to be paved with slate. It seems that these four houses are used as living rooms or places to receive outsiders.

Although these houses are a bit shabby, the walls have traces of rain wash, the paint on the windows and doors has also fallen off a lot, and many places have been cracked, but people who want to live Words are still free.

Zhao Hai looked at these houses, and he was still very satisfied. The elephants sold here in the manor are indeed not good-looking, but what does that matter? Almost all the buildings here are built with bluestone as the main material, which is very strong. Although few people took care of it, it has been very remarkable that it has not caused much damage after so many years of blowing rain.

A few people entered the house and found that the rooms here were empty, and there was no furniture in them, but the room was still spacious, as long as the occupants were simply cleaned up, it would not be a problem.

Passing through this row of houses, I found that there is a large patio-style yard. There is a big tree planted in the middle of this yard. The leaves of this tree are like ginkgo trees, and they grow very tall. Zhao Hai also I don’t know what kind of tree it is.

On both sides of the house where Zhao Hai and the others were, there were two doors leading to the outside. In addition to the house where Zhao Hai and the others are, the other three sides of the patio are also houses. This house looks similar to the house where Zhao Hai and the others are. They are all made of bluestone and covered with slate. Because the place is large, the light in the patio It doesn’t even look dark.

There was a small ditch in front of the house, and there was water flowing in the ditch. What surprised Zhao Hai the most was that a few small fish could be seen from time to time in the water.

The patio, big trees, flowing water, goldfish, the layout here is really good, if the buildings here are replaced with ancient Chinese-style buildings, it will really look like an old BJ courtyard.

It’s just spring, and green shoots have just appeared on the big tree. The green village, flowing water, and small fish have added a touch of vitality to this ancient yard, which can’t help but make people feel at ease.

Zhao Hai nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and said to Green: “Grandpa Green, the environment here is really good, where did the water come from? I think it’s quite cold here in winter, right? It’s not so deep, this little fish is actually Didn’t you freeze to death?”

Before Green could speak, Merlin smiled and said: “Master, I think this water must be hot spring water, the temperature of the water is not low, you don’t know this kind of fish, but I do. This kind of fish is called fire. Ding, is a tropical fire-type fish. It is strange to say that ordinary fish are water-type, but this fish is fire-type, and can only survive in warm water. If the water temperature is too low, it will It will be frozen to death, and this fish has a characteristic that it does not grow very large. They are only ten centimeters long at most. Even if they are the largest, they are generally less than ten centimeters, but this kind of fish is a kind of fish. It’s a rare delicacy, it tastes delicious, the meat is delicate, smooth and delicious, I heard that even the king will use this fish to entertain foreign guests, it’s a kind of high-class delicacy.”

Zhao Hai was stunned, he really didn’t expect this kind of fish. Breeding fish, he squatted down and stretched his hand into the ditch. Sure enough, the water was warm, but it was a little hot. It seemed that the temperature would never be lower than 30 degrees. At this temperature, these fish were actually It’s amazing to be able to survive and still be alive.

Zhao Hai saw that the little fish was swimming so leisurely. He wanted to catch one, but he didn’t expect that the little fish was surprisingly nimble in the water. With a swing of his tail, he escaped from Zhao Hai’s claws.

Zhao Hai was not catching fish, but stood up, looked at the house and said, “Okay, it seems that we can raise more of these small fish here in the future, and I will release a few undead creatures to guard on the hill. , let those slaves out to get some air, they have been in the space for so many days, they must be suffocated.”

Green smiled and said: “Yeah, let them come out and repair this place properly, by the way. , I have seen the stones on this mountain, and they are all very hard. They are good materials for making all kinds of stone tools. Young master, didn’t you make mills and grinding discs before? Isn’t this a good opportunity? There is nothing else on the mountain, but there are rocks.”

Zhao Hai nodded and laughed loudly: “Grandpa Green, it seems that we really picked up a treasure this time, there are hot springs here, we can raise more. A little fire diced, making some of the things we need out of stone, hahaha we can have a lot of money left again.”
