Cursing and grumbling, Liu Heizi found Gu Shulin. "Village Chief, I'm not taking that house! It's way too unlucky. I haven't even moved in, and I already found bones. You have to give me a different one."
Gu Shulin was busy clearing his own homestead and was stunned when he heard the news. "What bones? Didn't Chief Li say the old government soldiers cleared everything out?"
"I wish they had cleared it all out," Liu Heizi said, looking aggrieved. "They're still just sitting there in the cellar. The moment I went in, it scared the daylights out of me! My heart's still pounding. Here, feel it, if you don't believe me."
Gu Shulin was speechless.
"Village Chief, just say something! Are you going to give me a different plot or not?"
Gu Shulin replied, "But all the plots have been assigned. Where am I supposed to find another empty one for you?"
Liu Heizi pointed at the land next to him. "Here, there... aren't those empty plots? Just give me one of those. I can lay a new foundation.
