Chapter 452 Teeth
Seeing that Lu Chuan had no objection, Xu Han said, "Then let's rest early today and go to the county town early tomorrow morning."
With all the emotions at this point, Lu Chuan certainly couldn't just rest like that, but considering having to get up early the next day, the two of them didn't stay up too late.
The next morning, Xu Han got up from the bed reluctantly. Seeing the high-spirited man beside her, she gritted her teeth in anger and kicked him.
Lu Chuan steadily caught Xu Han's kick and put on socks for her.
"Get up and have breakfast. After breakfast we'll go to the county town."
Xu Han murmured, "Got it. Are Mu'er and Ze'er up yet? We are going to the county town today. We probably won't be back for two or three days. We need to let them know when we leave, lest they can't find us and start making trouble again."
"He's up and having breakfast! Come on, let's go too."
After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he took out a coat from the side and put it on Xu Han. It was still very cold in the mountains in July when you got up in the morning.
After finishing breakfast, Lu Chuan packed up his things. Xu Han hugged the two children and said, "You two stay at home and eat. Mom and Dad will come back and buy you some delicious snacks."
Mu'er nodded obediently and said, "Okay, I will take good care of my brother at home and not cause any trouble to Grandpa and Taoist Grandpa."
Ze'er was also very sensible today. "I will also be obedient and wait for mom and dad to come back home."
Xu Han touched their cheeks and said, "Great! You are all good children of your mother. When your mother is gone, be good at home and don't run around."
After saying that, the two of them carried their backpacks and walked towards the county town. Before leaving, Xu Han specially put the big boat into the space, for fear that when he came back, he would buy too many things and the small boat would not be able to fit them.
There was no need to rush home tonight, and the couple was in no rush to travel. They took advantage of the cool morning and slowly floated on the river, enjoying the scenery along the way.
Xu Han hasn't enjoyed herself like this for a long time. In the past two years, she hasn't been to the mountains much, let alone travel far. Even the last time she went to the county town was last year.
Lu Chuan knew from Xu Han's expression that she rarely enjoyed the feeling of floating on the river, so he deliberately slowed down the speed when rowing the boat to allow Xu Han to relax.
No matter how slow the speed is, they will eventually reach their destination. It was around nine in the morning when the two got off the boat.
The temperature was gradually getting hotter, and the two of them walked under the shade of the trees to avoid the scorching sun. Despite this, they were soaked after just five minutes of walking.
"How are you? Wife, are you okay? How about I carry you on my back?"
Xu Han waved her hand and refused. After coming here for so many years, she could still endure this little hardship.
But the weather was too hot, the sun was too strong, and the skin and flesh were hurting from the sun. At this moment, Lu Chuan regretted slowing down when rowing the boat.
The couple walked and rested along the way. It was too hot and they couldn't stand it without rest. When they arrived at the county town, it was already 11 o'clock in the afternoon.
After entering the county town, Xu Han immediately booked an inn. Without time to go out to do business, he went back to the inn to rest, take a shower and change into dry clothes.
It's such a pain to go out in this weather.
Xu Han asked, "Why don't we take a lunch break first? There's no one on the street at this time, and it would be a pain for us to go and look at houses. We might as well go in the afternoon when the sun won't be so scorching."
"Okay, let's eat first and then go to sleep. Do you want to eat our own food or have the waiter bring it up?"
Xu Han actually wanted to eat the food in her own space, but when she was away from home, it was different from being at home, so she still had to be more careful.
Then he said, "Let them bring it up! Don't order too much. It's too hot and we can't eat it. It would be a waste if we order too much."
"Okay, I got it." Lu Chuan said and went downstairs.
Xu Han was so tired that she just lay on the bed motionless.
After waking up from a nap, Xu Han obviously felt that her fatigue had eased a lot, her head was not as dizzy anymore, and her breathing was much smoother.
"I'll go get some water. We'll wash our faces later, and then we'll go to the dental clinic to ask about the price."
"Okay, go ahead. I'll wait for you inside."
After the couple had packed up again, another half an hour had passed. They left the inn and headed straight for Yaxing.
Although the county town has gradually recovered, those who escaped have not returned. The county town is still very deserted and there are not many pedestrians on the streets.
The brokerage firms in the county town are mainly divided into official brokers and private brokers. The properties and other things sold by official brokers are all obtained through property searches. Of course, there is also human trafficking, generally involving criminal slaves and official slaves.
The private sector can only sell the properties and land of ordinary people, and also sell their own people.
Lu Chuan took Xu Han to Guanya first. The things here were clearly marked with prices. Relatively speaking, the prices were not too outrageous and were generally normal prices.
The two of them came here first to understand the market conditions to avoid being cheated when buying a house.
As soon as we entered the courtyard, a broker came to greet us warmly. Seeing that it was a couple, he asked directly without any politeness, "Sir and Madam, do you need land or a shop? We have servants here too. What do you need? I can introduce you to some."
Lu Chuan replied, "Brother, we would like to come and see the shop and house. Please introduce them to us."
"Hahaha, you guys came at the perfect time. We just raided a corrupt official's house a while ago, and we've just sorted out their properties. I just put them up yesterday. Let me introduce them to you first."
Lu Chuan nodded, and the broker began to talk, "Among the properties that were confiscated this time, there are ten shops, both large and small. I wonder what kind of shop you would like?"
Xu Han said, "We want both small and large ones. The key is that the location must be good and the price must be right."
Hearing this, the man immediately burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha, okay, okay, I'll show you later.
You are buying a shop at a good time. Because of the war, many shops are for sale, and the prices are very affordable. Both residential and commercial properties are 40% lower than in previous years. How can it not be a good deal?"
Xu Han's eyes lit up when she heard this, but she didn't show it. She thought to herself, "This time I really got lucky."
The broker continued, "In addition to the shop that was put up for sale yesterday, we have also copied several other shops recently. There are many good shops. I will go get the blueprints and show them to you."
Xu Han and Lu Chuan looked at each other, understood each other tacitly, and nodded in agreement.
