Chapter 1117 Turn on the tap

He knew that Xiao Zhao was concerned about the future of the courtyard house, but his heart had already floated away with the land.

A few days later, Li Xiangqian met Yi Zhonghai as scheduled. That day, the sky was a little gloomy, and the air was filled with the smell of rain. Li Xiangqian walked out of the courtyard, feeling a little anxious. This anxiety was not only because of the investment of money, but also because he could not completely dispel his doubts.

Yi Zhonghai was already waiting at the agreed place. When he saw Li Xiangqian approaching, he immediately went up to him with a smile on his face.

"Brother Li, you're here?" Yi Zhonghai had a friendly smile on his face and patted Li Xiangqian on the shoulder. "Let's go and take a look at that piece of land."

Li Xiangqian nodded, but he didn't feel too excited, but a faint sense of heaviness. Yi Zhonghai took him into a field. The soil was soft and the air was fresh, but this piece of land was obviously not carefully taken care of. In the middle of the plot, a few old trees stood there, bringing a hint of coolness to the land.

"Look, this piece of land is just the right size, square, close to the street, convenient transportation, and has great potential for appreciation in the future." Yi Zhonghai talked nonstop as he walked, "As long as we build something around it and develop shops or something, we will definitely be able to make back the money we put in."

Li Xiangqian stared at the land, but he still had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He stepped on the soft land and began to think about the future of the land. He knew that the land in front of him seemed ordinary, but in fact it had many variables. If he was not careful, he might fail miserably.

"I think the location of this piece of land is good." Li Xiangqian suddenly spoke up, interrupting Yi Zhonghai's words, "But are you sure this piece of land can be developed? What is the current development situation of the surrounding area?"

Yi Zhonghai narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Li Xiangqian: "Brother Li, don't worry, this place is not only in a good location, but the surrounding development is also progressing steadily. Look over there, there are already several buildings under construction, and the value of the land will definitely continue to increase. As for the construction, wait until the formalities on my side are completed, and I guarantee there will be no problem."

Li Xiangqian was still feeling uneasy, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he said calmly: "Procedures are what you are best at." He knew that Yi Zhonghai was indeed prudent in doing things, but he still felt in his heart that the risks behind this piece of land were something he could not ignore.

Seeing Li Xiangqian's thoughtful look, Yi Zhonghai slowed down his pace slightly, turned around and asked, "Brother Li, do you think something is wrong?"

Li Xiangqian shook his head, paused, and then said, "Nothing, I just feel a little uneasy."

Yi Zhonghai patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. If you feel uneasy, let's explore together. Didn't you say that sometimes you need a little luck to do business?"

Li Xiangqian smiled bitterly and said nothing more.

He lowered his head silently, but his eyes fell on the land under his feet involuntarily. Although the soil here was soft and the air was fresh, he knew in his heart that behind this land was an uncertain future. If he could not grasp every step of his investment, he might fall into a deep quagmire.

"Forget it, let's wait and see." Li Xiangqian finally decided not to draw any conclusions for the time being. He turned around and looked at Yi Zhonghai: "Then let's wait until the formalities are completed."

Li Xiangqian and Yi Zhonghai walked out of the land and returned to the path near the courtyard. The sky was still gloomy, and the humidity in the air made people feel a little depressed. Although the sunlight had shone through the clouds during the day, it seemed to be swallowed up by an invisible pressure at this moment, and the world around them seemed a little too quiet.

Li Xiangqian's heavy heart did not ease after leaving the land. He knew that the hesitation in his heart seemed to have spread to every detail, becoming clearer and clearer. However, he felt that he seemed to lack enough courage to face this uncertain future.

"Brother Li, go back and think about it." Yi Zhonghai saw that Li Xiangqian had been silent all the way, so he didn't say anything more. He just said lightly, "Don't worry. Anyway, you are not the kind of person who does things rashly."

Li Xiangqian glanced at Yi Zhonghai, then nodded, feeling a little guilty - he didn't want Yi Zhonghai to think that he was too indecisive, but the future of the land and his own financial situation always made him feel like his heart was filled with heavy stones.

On the way back to the courtyard, Li Xiangqian still couldn't concentrate, and his mind was filled with questions: If he invested in this land, would the life of the people in the courtyard be affected? And would the seemingly stable income bring him the return he expected? These uncertain factors made it increasingly difficult for him to make a decision.

When he got home, it was already completely dark. Inside, the lights warmly illuminated the entire courtyard. Li Xiangqian walked into the house, took off his coat and shoes, and suddenly felt extremely tired. Xiao Zhao was busy in the kitchen, and there was a slight churning sound from the pot, and the air was filled with the aroma of food.

"You're back. How was your day?" Xiao Zhao raised his head and saw Li Xiangqian walking in, with a smile on his face.

Li Xiangqian forced a smile and replied casually, "Not bad, Xu Damao has taken care of the potato seedlings for me, I can go check them out tomorrow."

"Xiao Zhao, I'll go take a shower later." Li Xiangqian suddenly spoke, his voice a little dry.

"Okay, just wash the vegetables." Xiao Zhao didn't ask any more questions, just responded and continued to busy herself with her dishes.

Li Xiangqian walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and hot air hit his face. He stood in front of the bathroom mirror in a daze, and suddenly realized that his scalp was itchy. The itch was not due to sweat, but a strange feeling that he had never experienced before. Li Xiangqian couldn't help but reach out and touch his scalp, and a slight wet touch came from his fingertips. He looked in the mirror involuntarily, and his brows frowned immediately.

In the mirror, his hair was not thick, but not thin either. He always paid attention to cleanliness, washing his hair with water every day, and occasionally using shampoo. However, at this moment, there were some black things on his scalp that were slightly moving. Li Xiangqian's heart tightened, and he quickly reached his hand into his hair. What his fingertips touched was a small insect, wet, fragile, and tenaciously attached to his hair.

"What is this?" Li Xiangqian's heartbeat quickened. He quickly pulled the bug off and threw it into the toilet, but his heart was filled with panic and anxiety. He had never encountered such a situation before and didn't know how to deal with it. He subconsciously scratched his hair with his hands, but found that his scalp was not only itchy, but also slightly painful.
