Chapter 200 Homestead
Lu Jingyao immediately noticed Xu Youyou's expression change and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
He was afraid that Xu Youyou would be frozen because of the ice and snow.
Xu Youyou shook her head gently: "I have to go out."
Lu Jingyao looked around and saw the vastness of his eyes. He also clearly remembered that Xu Youyou had not received any calls, and even her people did not come.
Such a sudden decision seems to be the only reason for a temporary decision?
Lu Jingyao still felt something was wrong. Although the snow had stopped, there was too much snow on the road, so it was not rational to drive out. According to Xu Youyou's usual carefulness and caution, she was not the kind of person who was extremely procrastinating, so he dragged the important matters to the bad weather.
Xu Youyou did not give Lu Jingyao too much time to think. She had already invited Xu Fang and the two bodyguards to go out.
Because it is indeed inconvenient to drive on ice and snow roads, the system is rarely kind enough to tell the approximate distance. After Xu Youyou learned that it was about 3 kilometers, he chose to walk there.
As soon as she stepped out, Lu Jingyao followed behind her: "The road is slippery on the snow, I'll accompany you."
Xu Youyou felt a little upset. She went out to find a bargain, sometimes even hid Xu Fang and others, and didn't like to bring too many irrelevant people. Last time, He Zhiting asked to accompany her, she refused.
Now the person who asks to accompany him is Lu Jingyao.
"Okay." Xu Youyou's rationality was already agreed before she could figure it out.
A look of joy visible to the naked eye appeared on Lu Jingyao's face. He didn't know what Xu Youyou was going to do when he went out, nor did he know whether what she was going to do was right or wrong, but just being with her seemed to be enough to make him happy.
Lu Jingyao also had a lot of entourages. When he mixed with Xu Youyou's people, he immediately became magnificent.
Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao walked side by side at the front. They walked out of the orphanage gate and slowly walked along the road.
The orphanage is located in a remote location, close to the mountains and has a higher terrain, so the first half of the road is all downhill.
The road was slippery on the snow, and Lu Jingyao's eyes never left, for fear that Xu Youyou would fall if he didn't pay attention.
"Go slowly, walk slowly." When Lu Jingyao saw Xu Youyou's eagerness to try, he seemed to want a sliding shovel downhill, his heart was in his throat.
He never knew that he was nagging like this, and he wanted to say all the dangers in one breath, for fear that Xu Youyou would not pay attention to it.
Xu Youyou looked at the system flashing constantly, and she was actually very anxious. She didn't know what she was going to pick up, and she was afraid that it would fall into someone else's hands if she went too late.
But when she saw Lu Jingyao's worried eyes, she actually slowed down by mistake.
Xu Youyou's bodyguards were all used to the sudden actions of their bosses. However, Assistant Liu, who followed Lu Jingyao and his two bodyguards, were full of doubts about the uncertain itinerary.
Assistant Liu couldn't help asking, "Miss Xu, where are you going? If it's convenient, you can actually ask us to help you with it. Why do you have to work so hard?"
Assistant Liu said this because he was afraid that Xu Youyou would feel distressed when he fell down, and that Lu Jingyao would have an accident when he traveled with him.
To a certain extent, their money, wealth and wealth are all maintained by Lu Jingyao and Xu Youyou.
They fell and according to their own temperament, they would also set an injury for them, which would not affect their salary.
However, Xu Youyou or Lu Jingyao fell and was injured and made less money, which would actually affect their bonuses. Xu Youyou shook her head. She didn't know the specific person she picked up, and she couldn't say too much: "I still want to go and take a look in person."
Assistant Liu complained in his heart, but Xu Youyou said so. No matter how much worries he had, he could only hold his heart down and could only watch the actions of the two people in front of him more carefully.
If the road conditions are good and people who exercise regularly walk, they may be able to reach their destination in twenty minutes.
But it was difficult to walk on the snow and it was a downhill road. The group of people walked for almost an hour before Xu Youyou's steps stopped.
Her destination is a small village, where two-story rural self-built houses with red bricks and white walls can be seen everywhere in the village.
The three big words "Chengjia Village" are written at the entrance of the village. She also knows this place because she studied in this village at that time.
Chengjia Village is about eight kilometers away from the city, which is not close. Just looking at the village, you will know that the tourism industry in Chengjia Village is not developing smoothly.
Xu Youyou stood in front of a yard, looked inside from outside, and saw an old house with three large open rooms.
The old house has been disrepaired for a long time, and most of the white walls are falling off, revealing the yellow acres of the past. It looks out of place among a bunch of beautiful self-built houses.
Under the backlog of wind and snow, this house seems extremely dangerous and seems to be overturned.
The yard wall has collapsed halfway, revealing a huge gap. The height of the gap can be crossed by an adult with one foot.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Boss, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. You and Miss Xu are still a little far away from this house. What if the yard collapses again." Assistant Liu whispered to remind Lu Jingyao.
Xu Youyou took a step back honestly, staring at the golden pointer of the system, and pointed all the way from the courtyard wall to the locked old house.
"Sister Xu." Xu Youyou said.
Xu Fang immediately cheered up and asked, "Boss, what are your instructions?"
Xu Youyou said, "Let's find out who this house belongs to and see if you can buy it."
Xu Fang immediately agreed and walked towards the village.
Lu Jingyao glanced at Assistant Liu, and Assistant Liu hurriedly said, "Miss Xu, I'm fine, I'll see if I can help Sister Xu."
Xu Youyou did not refuse, after all, Assistant Liu has always been capable.
Two assistants entered the village one after another.
Xu Fang had a clear goal and went directly to the village committee. Although it snowed today and it was New Year's Eve, there were still people on duty in the village committee.
"The old house at the entrance of the village? It's Cheng Laoshi's house. Cheng Laoshi's two children. His son left early, leaving behind a daughter Qing Yatou. Qing Yatou lived with her aunt Cheng Chunhua. The house fell in her aunt's name and she married in the village." The village chief knew the situation in the village as much as possible.
Xu Fang felt that the relationship was a bit confusing and asked, "Village Chief, since this Qing girl and her aunt still live in the village, is there no one living in the house now?"
"In recent years, every household has been working hard to build two-story small buildings in one go. Who would still be willing to live in an old house? Speaking of which house was the first in the village forty or fifty years ago. How many people want to live in it but still can't live there?" said the village chief.
Xu Fang asked curiously: "Since every household has built a small building, why didn't their family demolish this house and build a new one? Did they find a new house built with a homestead that they found?"
