Chapter 16

This is a housing agency facade that may only have five square meters. The facade space is not large. The four of us suddenly seem a little crowded when we go in. The boss sat alone in the armchair humming a tune while drinking tea and looking at the newspaper. When he saw us at the door, he quickly put down the newspaper and smiled and asked us, "do you rent a house or have a house to rent and sell?"

"Where do we have a house to rent for sale? Oh, it's renting."

"Look, there are the latest rental information on the wall here. If you are not satisfied, I still have dozens of sets in my hand. In short, as long as you sincerely want to rent, you can certainly find them here."

"OK, let's have a look first."

Luo Liguo was illiterate. He found a plastic bench and sat aside. Bai Ling seemed not very interested in it. He ran outside the door and looked back curiously. Jiang Yilong and I were absorbed in quickly browsing the house rental information listed on the wall.

We don't have high requirements for the house. First of all, Bai Ling must need a separate room. The remaining three of us don't say one room for each person. At least we need enough space to squeeze. Secondly, we have to have a bathroom and kitchen. Finally, the price must be fair and shy.

"Younger martial brother, look at this. There are three bedrooms and two living rooms with two bathrooms and a kitchen."

"Look at the price. It's so expensive."

"Then this?"

"The location is too biased. We've been there before to help people deliver things. It's inconvenient to go out and buy vegetables."

After watching for a long time, I didn't find an ideal rental. I was about to give Jiang Yilong my eyes and go to other places. The boss suddenly looked at us with a smile and said, "have you chosen yet?"

I said: "boss, I'm really sorry. I'm too fussy for the moment. I can't make a decision for the time being. Let's go back and sum up first."

"No." the boss probably saw something on our faces and hurriedly said, "you stay a few more minutes and tell me what kind of house you need. I'll help you choose. If you really can't, you won't be able to go anywhere else."

Jiang Yilong said, "first of all, the price can't be too high, such as hundreds of dollars. Second, the location can't be too biased. Third, you can see that there are four of us. If the house is too small, it must be inconvenient to live. Fourth, I think you pay almost every year. Can you pay every half a year? Of course, if it's paid every month, it's more domineering."

The boss's face suddenly turned pale. "Oh, these requirements you said are really hard to find."

If we can fully meet all these conditions, we will not find a suitable one. In the final analysis, the main reason is that we have no money.

"However, it's a coincidence that I just got a house like this two days ago. It basically meets the conditions you just said."

"Really?"

"They are all brothers. They may not lie to you."

The boss said that this house is located in majiayan, not far from us. It is an old-fashioned unit community with three bedrooms and one living room and kitchen and bathroom in the 1970s. There is a guard on the seventh floor, that is, the top floor. There is no need to worry about safety. Out of the community, there are grocery stores, snack bars and vegetable markets a few steps away. Even more exaggerated, although the house is a little old at present, it has all kinds of beds, tables, chairs and benches. Such an almost impeccable house only costs 1000 yuan a month, and it can be paid half a year.

I didn't hesitate. I immediately paid the house viewing fee and asked him to bring the rental contract. After we finished reading the house, we signed the contract immediately.

When we came to the community and opened the door of building 701, in addition to seeing the thick dust and cobwebs in the house, all the furnishings and room size were exactly the same as what the intermediary boss said.

I immediately went downstairs, went to the nearby bank to take out the hard-earned money, and then happily signed the rental contract with the intermediary boss.

The house was settled. Bai Ling and I were responsible for cleaning. Jiang Yilong and Luo Liguo were responsible for moving. They worked all afternoon before they cleaned everything up.

Luo Liguo suddenly found me, took out a stack of money from his pocket and handed it to me. "Xiao Qi, this is mine. It's two thousand in total. You received it."

I was stunned and said, "Uncle Luo, what do you mean?"

"It's impossible for you to give it alone," Luo Liguo said.

"Uncle Luo, you're out of sight now. I think at the beginning, if you hadn't taken me and the eldest martial brother in and gave us a way, we might have starved to death in the street. Now you still, in short, I can't take the money. You receive it." Jiang Yilong agreed, and I immediately said: "Uncle Luo, otherwise, we're moving to a new house today. We picked up such a big bargain again. Of course, it's worth celebrating. You'll have the meal in the evening."

"Well, let's eat hot pot now."

We went downstairs and just got ready to leave the community. The guard man looked at the four of us and came out of the guard room to take the initiative to talk to us. "You just moved here today?"

I quickly handed him a cigarette, smiled and said, "yes, sir, please take care of it in the future."

The old man took the cigarette with a smile and asked again. "That's easy to say. By the way, can I ask, what floor do you live on?"

"The seventh floor, 701," Jiang Yilong blurted out.

The old man's smile on his face suddenly sank. Seeing this, I hurriedly asked, "old man, is there any problem?"

The boss was stunned for a long time, smiled and said "pay attention", so he ignored us and went back to the guard room.

I saw the old man's reaction was a little strange, but I couldn't say what was strange for a moment. Just out of the community, Jiang Yilong suddenly thought of something and said, "by the way, have you noticed?"

Luo Liguo said, "pay attention to what."

Jiang Yilong said, "it's so late. When we went downstairs, not only the lights of 702 were not turned on, but there didn't seem to be any light on the sixth and fifth floors."

Bai Ling said, "it's very simple, because no one lives at all."

Bai Ling and I were cleaning the house this afternoon until we went downstairs. She didn't have time to wander around. I looked at her strangely and asked, "do you know?"

Bai Ling nodded and said, "well, I'm sure."

It is reasonable to say that the conditions here are good in all aspects. How can there be so many empty households without people living. Is it difficult that the main price of the house is too high, so it has not been rented out for a long time?

Maybe so, I firmly believe.

Today, we didn't think deeply about the housewarming. We just forgot it. We went to a hot pot shop and took a hard meal. We were full of wine and food. Luo Liguo and Jiang Yilong were a little drunk, so we went home first, and I accompanied Bai Ling to the night market.

From Bai Ling's appearance to now, she has no luggage or even half a dime. Now that I have chosen to let nature take its course, naturally I can't ignore her. So I bought two sets of clothes for her and some washing and combing supplies. Although it cost a lot of money, seeing her smile so sweet all the way, I was also very happy and thought it was worth it.

When I got home, it was more than 11 p.m. after washing and combing, I opened the door of the master bedroom. Jiang Yilong slept on his back like a dead pig. It was not easy for me to squeeze him aside to lie down and lie in bed. In my mind, I thought about living in the house I rented, thinking about Bai Ling's happy smiling face, and gradually fell into a deep sleep.

I don't know how long later, I could vaguely hear a strange sound like you and Ming, just like the creaking sound of the door of the room being opened and closed back and forth by manpower. It may be that I've been tossing around all day today. I'm really tired. I always feel the noise from Jiang Yilong's going to the bathroom at night. Therefore, I don't want to open my eyes and continue to sleep.

I don't know how long it took, the strange noise that made people upset finally disappeared. There was no strange noise. I slept deeper and had a dream.

I found that I was in the living room at home. A strange man was holding something with his back to me. In front of him was a woman kneeling on the ground sobbing and crying. I didn't know the woman's facial expression and the reason for crying because of being blocked by this man. However, when I just walked forward for two steps, I found that the woman kneeling on the ground was not a woman at all. To be exact, it was a headless female corpse. Her head was trampled under the feet of the man who couldn't see her face

The bright red and pungent blood poured all over her head and couldn't see her facial features. However, her pale eyes were opposite to mine at this time. The cry became louder and louder, and the sound became more and more sharp. Almost all of them were about to wear out my eardrum. At the same time, the blood emerging from the decapitation of her body was like a river, which soon flooded the whole living room

"Ah..."

Boom.

Bang.

The door suddenly fell heavily on the door frame, and so did several windows. The sound was superimposed and completely overshadowed my scream.

Jiang Yilong was suddenly awakened. In the moonlight, I found that his face was a little pale and his forehead was sweating. He looked at me and looked very dull.

Ah

It was another sound. The sound seemed to come from the next room. I swallowed my saliva, jumped out of bed quickly, turned on the living room light, and was about to open Luo Liguo's door. However, he rushed out in panic and collided with me.

"Uncle Luo, what's the matter with you?"

He looked at me and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

At this time, I noticed that the door was open. I remember very clearly that Bai Ling and I locked it back when we came back. Of course, she ran to the door and found Bai Ling standing outside the door. She looked very normal, as if she was looking downstairs.

I pulled her and said, "why did you run out so late? You made the noise just now?"

Bai Ling said, "it's not me."

"You come first."

I closed the door and everyone sat in the living room. I looked. It was 3:30 in the morning.

Luo Liguo drank water, finally calmed down and said, "I just had a nightmare and dreamed that I had no head."

Jiang Yilong said, "me too. I dreamed of blood everywhere."

I said, "I also had a nightmare. It was terrible. I'm afraid to think of it now."

The three of us had terrible nightmares and looked at Bai Ling. She shook her head. "I didn't. I just felt someone."

"Younger martial brother, there is a lot of Yin in this house now."

"I feel it, too."

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Jiang, what are you talking about?"

I tried to calm myself down, looked at Luo Liguo and Bai Ling and said, "there are ghosts."
