Chapter Fifty-Four

  "Cheng Zihan, run quickly!" Just as Cheng Zihan was shocked by the scene in front of her, Qin Kexiu's urgent voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

  Cheng Zihan was shocked in her heart and suddenly came back to her senses.

  This isn't a movie shoot, how can a money tree possibly grow out of nowhere in the ground?

  Cheng Zixi was also staring at the money tree in surprise, Cheng Zihan quickly covered her eyes with her hand and pulled her back to run.

  Two people rushed out of the garden and stopped. After turning back, Cheng Zihan saw that there was a layer of black air covering the sky above the garden.

  It was probably just some trick created by something, if Qin Ke didn't remind them in time, they would have been finished.

  This house is indeed full of eerie atmosphere everywhere.

  Qin Kesou also emerged from the Tree Spirit Space at this time, floating beside Cheng Zihan, with a solemn expression looking in the direction of the garden.

  "What is Qin Kexiu after all?" Cheng Zihan looked at Qin Kexiu and asked hastily.

  "It's a vengeful spirit underground, it wants to come out, and your blood is its best supplement. If we let it succeed, I'm afraid this place will be doomed." Qin Kesu said in a low voice.

  Cheng Zihan was also shocked in her heart, she didn't expect that she really became like Tang Seng, whoever saw her wanted to take a bite of her flesh and drink her blood.

  "What's the point?" With a sigh, Cheng Zihan felt deeply disgusted and resentful towards his own rare and supposedly pure yin body.

  What's all this about? You've attracted so many perverts back here, are you going to let her live in the future or what?

  "Don't get any closer, I can't beat her." Qin Kexiu said seriously with a furrowed brow.

  In Cheng Zihan's heart, it was as if a million grass mud horses were galloping wildly, silently watching Qin Kexiu, and really couldn't bear to mock him.

  From meeting Qin Kesu until now, this guy really hasn't done anything useful, except for getting himself into a lot of trouble.

  However, that piece of land by the river should be counted as the only thing he did that made a contribution, and they got 100,000 yuan in compensation.

  Kang Zixi was still staring at that place with eager eyes, when Kang Zihan forcefully pulled out a strand of hair from her head.

  Cheng Zixi cried out in pain, but it was from the illusion that she woke up.

  "Sister?" She looked at Cheng Zihan in surprise, for a moment unable to recall what had just happened.

  Cheng Zihan glanced at the butterfly that was pretending to be dead on Cheng Zixi's shoulder, and with one swift motion, she picked it up and tossed it aside. "What's the point of keeping useless things? Get rid of it."

  Chengzi Creek was unhappy and went back to pick up the butterfly, carefully placing it on his shoulder.

  This butterfly has been holding this pose for a long time.

  Cheng Zixi remembered reading in a book that butterflies have very short lifespans, and her heart felt a pang of sadness. Was this beautiful butterfly going to die?

  Seeing Cheng Zixi's sad look, Cheng Zihan glared at Butterfly again, but Butterfly seemed to be dead, without any reaction.

  Cheng Zihan also felt a bit strange in her heart. It seemed that since she came back, this thing had always been like this. Had it really died?

  "Sister, is the butterfly dead? It hasn't moved recently." Cheng Zixi pouted, looking at Cheng Zihan with a tearful expression.

  Cheng Zihan silently supported her forehead, then comforted a few words before pulling Cheng Zixi out the door.

  This garden is a forbidden place, it seems that people are prohibited from entering, otherwise it will be troublesome when the thing inside is released.

  Cheng Zihan also discovered that the vengeful spirit seemed to be able to move around only in the garden and couldn't come out, otherwise it would have caused trouble for her long ago.

  Cheng Zixi was in a bad mood all the way, and just as he walked to the village committee, he saw Lai Bojian posting a notice. Cheng Zihan was curious and walked over.

  "Uncle Li, what's this?" Looking at Uncle Li Jian sticking a big red paper on the bulletin board, Cheng Zihan curiously asked.

  The words above look like they are flying and dancing, it's really a mouthful.

  Li Bojian heard the voice, turned his head and saw that it was Cheng Zihan, so he smiled, "Zihan, you're out so early. In a few days, the village committee will hold a public bidding, and the sugarcane field behind the village will be put up for auction."

  "Oh?" Cheng Zihan's eyes lit up as soon as he heard the words, and behind the village there were several hundred acres of land, but it was unknown whether they could all be invested.

  "Is it a separate bid or a collective bid?" Cheng Zihan asked out of curiosity.

  "Bidding separately, but also can be multiple bids from one household, according to the standard of 50 yuan per mu. What, do you want to bid for one too, Zihan? The sugarcane field behind will be auctioned every year, but only sugarcane can be planted. When it's time for harvest, the production team will collectively purchase at market price."

  Sugarcane is worthless, even if an acre can produce 5,000 catties, it's probably still not possible to make much money.

  And the land use right is for two years, after which the village will uniformly take it back and re-auction it.

  "Is it just the land there?" Cheng Zihan also knew these rules, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She wasn't very interested in growing sugarcane.

  "Anything else?" Li Bojian asked hesitantly, then thought for a moment and continued, "Actually, there is something else. A few hundred meters ahead in the sugarcane field, there are several thousand mu of land up for bidding. There's no specified use for it, but the minimum standard price per mu is 100 yuan, and you have to pay the five-year contract rent upfront. You might want to consider it. The lease is for twenty years, and after the first five years, the rent will increase by 15% from the original price until the end of the twenty-year contract."

  "Really?" This was the real good news for Cheng Zihan!

  She wasn't really interested in sugarcane fields, but if two years later the country abolished the collective land ownership system and could freely decide on the use of land, Cheng Zihang was indeed interested in investing those hundreds of acres.

  "Well, that's going to happen half a month later, but there are more competitors there, and I'm afraid the final price will be much higher than 100 yuan per mu. In previous years, the highest price was 228 yuan per mu." Li Bojian gave Cheng Zihuan the bottom line, actually also hoping she would have a psychological preparation, so that she could quote a higher price later.

  Because the way they bid is not like an auction, but rather each person writes down the price they can offer and then submits it to the person in charge. After everyone has submitted their bids, a date is chosen to publicly announce the highest bidder, who will be the final owner of the land.

  This is somewhat similar to bidding in the mortal world.

  "Alright, thank you Uncle Li. I know now." Cheng Zihan gave a sweet smile to Li Bojian before pulling Cheng Zixi along as they walked back.

  This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for her.

  Now it just so happens that I have some money on hand, the use right of a thousand acres of land for twenty years. Even if she sells one acre for 500 now, there is still profit to be made.

  And besides, who knows what will happen twenty years later?

  This matter must go back and discuss with Cheng Hai thoroughly, make a decision as soon as possible!
