Chapter 193 The Haunted House
In fact, Fu Ping'an has a place to go. With his relationship with Yang Mingzhu and his reserve cadre status at Zhangong Real Estate, it is no problem to build a house to live in, but he is unwilling to do that. He has almost repayed his kindness and cannot always take advantage of it. Moreover, he always feels that he is not at ease to let Matteo Ci and Mu Lan live together.
Mu Lan was overjoyed when she received the message, but she did not reply immediately. She was reserved and despicable for a long time before replying: "It's inconvenient, I'll talk about it when you come."
Fu Ping'an began to pack his luggage. His personal belongings in the dormitory were mainly books and few sets of clothes. The three brothers were very sad. The boss was about to leave. They were powerless and could only scold the school for its ruthless and tyrannical tyranny.
"It's okay, I'll be back." Fu Ping'an said, Chen Xiao's words just now reminded him that this one and a half years of school in Jiangda were not for nothing. Even if he lost his academic qualifications, he would not delay his entry and exit from the campus and attend classes and borrow books. Anyway, he is familiar with people and has a good relationship with others, so it would be no problem to stay on campus. If it's just for the exam, he can only take all the courses in one year.
...
Fu Ping'an came to Maqiao with a bedding roll. Two young men and women squeezed into this small two-bedroom apartment. The weather was still very hot in September and people were wearing thin clothes. It was embarrassing to go in. Even in order to save money, they could not make do with it. So Mu Lan suggested changing to a larger house.
Mu Lan took Fu Ping'an to a nearby real estate agency and happened to meet Xiao Cen, an agent who had a relationship with a plate of fried dough flowers that day. Xiao Cen enthusiastically introduced several large houses to them. When Mu Lan heard the price, she shook her head like a rattle: "It's too expensive, I can't accept it."
"The four people share the rent, and it's not expensive on average." Xiao Cen muttered, and he would like to find them again. Now the housing prices are rising sharply. There are more people buying houses, and there are fewer information about renting houses. It happened that a colleague came over to ask Xiao Cen what he was looking for. He heard that he wanted to find a cheap house to live in, so he said, "Yes, it's super cheap, I'm afraid you won't dare to live there."
Mu Lan said: "As long as it is cheap, I dare to live in a haunted house."
The man smiled: "You really told me that there is a house with an attic on the top floor, an elevator room, a four-bedroom, two-living balcony, and a monthly rent of only 1,500 yuan, but it's not clean. Several waves of tenants who don't believe in evil were scared away."
Mu Lan asked: "Is the location good? Can it be lowered?"
The man said, "When you go out, you will be at the subway entrance, bus stop, supermarket, hospital and school. If you don't have any prime location, the area ratio of the community is low and the access restrictions are strict. The good ones cannot be better. The price is already at the end, and it cannot be cheaper."
Mu Lan said: "Forget it, this house is too fierce and it is so expensive that no one deserves to rent it."
Let's press this for the time being. When they came back to have a meal, Xiao Cen called again: "Sister, we called the landlord that house. The price is easy to discuss. It can be cheaper by one or two hundred. It's the lowest price, it can't be lower."
Mu Lan said: "That's not OK, it's too expensive. People renting a house requires money, but you rent a house is deadly."
Xiao Cen asked: "Sister, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Mu Lan said: "I pay one thousand yuan a month, so I can still consider it."
Xiao Cen said, "Sister, you are really good at joking." He hung up the phone.
The four of them crowded on the sofa in the living room to watch TV. Matteo Ci was here, and the atmosphere was joyful and relaxed. It seemed that the house was small and small. Mu Lan said about the haunted house, and everyone laughed. Pan Xiaoyang said: "I seem to have heard of this haunted house. There was a murder case. Later, I rented it out and something happened. A tenant committed suicide in the house. Later, he rented it to a group of migrant workers to share it. It was nothing, but the government cracked down on group renting and drove the tenants away."
Xiao Cen was still chattering: "In fact, the so-called haunted house is just psychologically unacceptable. Hong Kong people like to buy haunted houses the most, which is much cheaper than the market price."
Pan Xiaoyang said: "Little brother, tell me the truth. Are there any ghosts here?"
Xiao Cen glanced at Pan Xiaoyang's big white legs, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "It's said that it's psychological. How can there be ghosts in the world? Who has ever seen ghosts?"
Fu Ping'an pointed to the two talismans in the corner and said, "What is this for?"
Xiao Cen said: "The Taoist priest invited by the landlord to cause feudal superstitious activities. I heard them say that what the Taoist priest said at that time was funny. He said there was a problem, but it could be broken. If you ask Wenquxing or Wuquxing to come and live, it would be fine. The landlord asked who was Wenquxing and Wuquxing to come and live. The Taoist priest said that it was like the top scorer in the college entrance examination, postdoctoral fellows, and at least those in the division commander and brigade commander or above. Do you think this is not a problem? Even if such a person can be found, he will not come to live."
Mu Lan smiled: "We want this house."
Xiao Cen said: "Don't try it?"
Mu Lan said: "It can be basically settled. Fu Ping'an, you can come to stay for one night with the bed tonight. If you are afraid, Dad will accompany you."
Fu Ping'an also thought the house was really good. There were independent spaces for four people, two bathrooms could be divided into men and women, and the living room was big enough. It was enough to call friends to open a big party, which was much better than the previous house of 70 square meters.
Matteo Ci looked indifferent. He didn't believe in gods and ghosts. Although Pan Xiaoyang was a little scared, the mansion was more attractive to her. She especially liked the large bathtub in the bathroom of the master bedroom. She placed a glass of champagne next to her while taking a bubble bath, which could make people devastated. Moreover, she was unemployed and could not afford the rent for next month. Why can't she live in a free house?
Xiao Cen said: "If you decide, sign the contract. You only need to pay a deposit of 1,000 yuan for water, electricity and coal. If you can't decide now, go back and think about it. I will have to receive a group of house viewers in a while."
Mu Lan said: "It's all for sales, so don't fool me. If you can rent it out, you'll rent it out long ago. I'm afraid even the roughest migrant worker uncle wouldn't dare to live here. OK, one thousand is just one thousand."
Xiao Cen took out the rental contract from his bag and collected a deposit on the spot to sign the contract. When signing, Mu Lan pushed Fu Ping'an over: "Let him come."
Fu Ping'an signed the letter, Xiao Cen happily took the contract and left the key to them.
Mu Lan took out a firecracker and an incense burner from her bag, inserted three incense sticks and lit them, and told everyone to cover their ears and light them. The crackling sound was heard, and the smell of gunpowder filled the room.
"I'm sorry, I'm disturbed. We are also crazy and have no choice. When we move here, we don't have to do anything. Just keep our water from the river and stay calm." Mu Lan said something and did a ritual.
Suddenly a rumble of thunder blew across the sky, and the wind blew in through the large window, and a hook that was originally hanging on a chandelier in the sky in the living room swayed.
Matteo looked up and said, "Look, that hook is just right for hanging."
