"Stock up on some supplies tomorrow."
He felt that more and more people would come to Nanyang Prefecture in the future, and prices would soon rise.
“Try to reduce the frequency of going out.”
The personnel are complicated and disputes may arise.
If there is a dispute, there is a possibility of getting into trouble.
……
At night, Chen Mu washed up and went to bed.
Half asleep and half awake, I vaguely heard a pleasant singing voice.
The song is so beautiful and yet so familiar.
Chen Mu suddenly woke up.
Three strange syllables were uttered quickly.
Five little paper figures were suddenly stuck to his face.
The cold touch instantly made him shudder, and his dazed state quickly disappeared.
Chen Mu quickly got up and went out to climb onto the roof.
A few hundred meters away on the Luo River, a red ship was vaguely visible in the white water mist.
Several shadowy figures stood by the windows of the ship, looking at this side quietly as the red boat gradually sailed away.
"grass!"
"You're still targeting me?!"

Chapter 112 Shocking Change
"We can't stay by the river anymore!"
Chen Mu squatted on the roof and didn't sleep all night.
The next day, as soon as the sun rose, I ran to the dental clinic.
I rented a two-story house near the inner city.
The prefectural government office is in the inner city, and the treasures that ward off evil spirits are also in the inner city. It is safer to live closer.
Then it took another day to move the furniture and belongings from the old house into the new one.
He didn't ask for help. He just freed up the five ghost bags and moved the things himself one by one.
He has mastered the four forms of physical training and has incredibly strong endurance. Moreover, he can carry the Five Ghost Bags, so this little job is not tiring at all.
……
In the evening, Chen Mu cooked a large table of dishes.
It was not until dark that Jiejia walked into his new home with an expressionless face.
"What happened to you?" Jiejia was helpless. Rabbits are not as alert as you. They move at the slightest sign of trouble.
"Nothing, I just lived in one place for too long, so I wanted to change the environment." Chen Mu laughed, "Besides, I didn't give up my old house. A cunning rabbit has three burrows."
"Your whereabouts are so secretive, aren't you afraid of arousing suspicion from your neighbors?" Jie Jia asked back.
Chen Mu said calmly: "I have no neighbors."
Jie Jia looked at Chen Mu speechlessly: "Are you renting the surrounding houses... too?"
Chen Mu smiled but said nothing.
Jie Jia: “…”
……
After dinner, the two sat in the pavilion of the new house.
The yard has been abandoned for some time, and there are still a lot of dead and yellow leaves on the ground.
Under the octagonal pavilion, some tender green grass sprouts even poked out from the cracks in the blue brick floor.
Beside the stone table, Chen Mu took out two porcelain bottles and handed them to Jie Jia.
"How much is this thing worth?" Chen Mu asked.
"Dragon Transformation Pill?" Jie Jia opened it and took a look: "The price has dropped a bit recently, about one thousand taels."
"Please help me change them all into Zuming Talismans." Chen Mu said simply.
Jie Jia looked at Chen Mu in surprise, and suddenly paused: "You didn't run into a ghost again, did you?"
Chen Mu nodded helplessly.
"Does he have some special physique?" Jie Jia stared at Chen Mu up and down.
Chen Mu rolled his eyes: "I'm just an ordinary person, how can I have any special physique?"
Jie Jia shook his head: "It's hard to say, ghosts won't always look for the same person."
"What do you mean?" Chen Mu couldn't help but frown.
"Some special physiques are suitable for possession, so..." Jie Jia glanced at Chen Mu with his bright yellow eyes.
Chen Mu suddenly felt his scalp tingling. He thought of his own resurrection.
"It shouldn't be, otherwise you wouldn't be alive now." Jiejia thought about it and shook his head.
Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
He doesn't want to be haunted by ghosts all the time.
……
the next day.
Chen Mu woke up early. He actually didn't sleep well last night.
It was nothing at first, but after hearing what Jiejia said, I couldn't help but think about it.
I’m afraid a ghost will jump out from under the bed.
Practice the White Jade Toad Shape Exercise three times to stretch your body.
Chen Mu glanced at the courtyard covered with fallen leaves.
Three syllables were uttered, and five large balls of black smoke appeared around him and continued to rotate around him.
Black smoke swept across the ground, and the withered yellow leaves, gravel and soil quickly disappeared.
Chen Mu stood still.
The radius of the black smoke slowly expanded.
In a short while, the entire courtyard was cleaned.
The yard is quite spacious. Apart from the main house on the north side, there is a separate room on the west side that serves as a kitchen.
On the east side is an octagonal pavilion.
The toilet and utility room are in the front yard.
In terms of refinement, it is a little inferior to the yard with a pond by the river.
Overall, it is much better than the previous yard.
The rent was four taels of silver per month, which was three or four times more expensive than those two courtyards.
That's the price of being close to the inner city.
……
After breakfast, Chen Mu continued to brush the white jade toad step by step.
During the rest period, a large cellar was dug five meters below the west room.
He had to move the stuff from the old cellar.
In the evening, Jiejia arrived on time.
Before he had his meal, he was handed a small cloth bag, inside which lay six palm-sized leather Zuming talismans.
Chen Mu happily put it in his arms. Together with the first one he bought, he now had seven Zuming Talismans on him, and his sense of security suddenly increased.
When sleeping at night.
Put one on each of the four walls of the room and one on the beam.
There are two left, one on the front and one on the back.
Only then did Chen Mu relax and fell into a deep sleep on the bed.
Although his energy is getting better and better, he can stay awake by sleeping two hours a day.
But Chen Mu still goes to bed early and gets up early, and rests at a regular rhythm.
He has the proficiency, and what he needs is regular and continuous experience gain.
Short-term energy exhaustion will only lead to boredom.
……
After living in fear for several days, no ghosts or monsters came to visit, and Chen Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's safe, but my wallet is tied up." Chen Mu sighed.
Buy ancestral talismans, rent houses continuously, and stockpile supplies.
All the fortune he had made was spent.
"We have to find a way to make money."
That day, he asked Jie Jia to start sending him medicinal materials. He wanted to restart the sale of generic drugs.
"Lingsha Wan can earn about one hundred taels a month."
