Chapter 181 The Three Strangers
Liu Hou stood in front of the Shicheng Community, looking at the huge artificial stone at the gate and marveling at it.
The developer of this property is also a sentimental person, just like the water in his head.
I guess no one had looked at Feng Shui when designing the property.
The location of Shicheng community is a depression, which gathers the shade. Then the developer built a big stone to press it into the depression, which is an evil situation where the big stone suppresses the shade.
Very bad.
No wonder the developer went bankrupt after completing the construction of this community.
Fortunately, there is such a university town in the municipal planning, and many yang-minded students diluted this evil situation.
Otherwise, Shicheng community will become an unfinished building and no one will care about it.
Because it is an old community and there are many tenants, the security is ineffective.
Letting people come and go, he didn't even raise his head, only looking down at his mobile phone.
Liu Hou walked to the foot of a rockery at the gate.
August is hot and the sun is at its strongest in the day.
The wild dogs that sneaked out to look for food in the heat all hung out their tongues and panted miserably.
Wild dogs and cats all gathered in the lowest area of Shicheng Community, where the gloomy atmosphere is the strongest and the coolest.
A long pavilion next to a rockery, below is the world of animals.
Up there is a place where old men and old ladies play mahjong to relax.
Old people have loud voices and enthusiasm.
I saw Liu Hou looking like a student and looking around.
Several old men and women stopped mahjong and gathered around.
"Young man, are you looking for a house?"
One of the old ladies asked with a smile.
"right."
Liu Hou nodded.
"That's a good relationship. I still have a room available at my place. It's a single room, a master bedroom, with a private bathroom. I'll only charge you a thousand and a half."
The old lady recommended herself.
"I want to rent the whole place."
Liu Hou smiled.
It was too inconvenient to share the apartment with his cousin, and he also wanted to have some private space of his own.
"Let it be rented out, I have it."
Don't let an old man squeeze over, take out his mobile phone, and click on a photo: "Do you think this apartment will work? It's two bedrooms and one living room. It was just renovated five years ago. It used to be a student girl who moved out not long ago. It's just
I’ll charge you three thousand a month.”
"It's too expensive and I can't afford to rent it."
Liu Hou shook his head.
The two-bedroom and one-living house in the old man's photo is shabbily decorated, as if an immortal is surviving the calamity inside.
It costs three thousand a month, why not grab it!
"Young man, this is not expensive for me. Just tell me the price you have in mind, and I will look for it for you."
The old man seems to have several properties in his hands.
"I only have a budget of more than one thousand."
Liu Houdao.
"One thousand a month, you still have to rent the whole thing?"
The eyes of the old men and women surrounding him widened, as if Liu Hou was a bumpkin from the countryside who had never seen the world: "Young man, you may not understand the market. We are near the university town of Chuncheng.
Are there such cheap houses for rent?”
"Yes, I have found one through the rental software. It's three bedrooms and two living rooms, and it's only a thousand and a month."
Liu Hou said.
Several elderly people didn't believe it at all: "It's impossible. The second bedroom in our shared house in Shicheng community costs a thousand yuan. Young man, I think you have been deceived?"
One of the old men blew a few breaths through his nose and asked disdainfully: "Young man, which building and unit do you think the house you are looking for is in?"
"Building 4, 404."
Liu Hou revealed his room number.
Suddenly, a gloomy wind blew, making the uncles and aunties surrounding him shiver involuntarily.
Under the scorching sun, I actually felt a bit chilly.
Even the wild cats and dogs under the pavilion seemed to add to the atmosphere, barking a few times at the right time.
Adding a bit of spookiness.
The surroundings fell silent, and after a long time, a few old people looked at each other, as if to confirm, and asked tremblingly: "Are you talking about Room 404 in the fourth building?"
"right."
"That house is a bit..."
An old man was about to say something when a voice suddenly interrupted him.
"Are you Mr. Liu Houliu?"
Liu Hou heard someone calling him, turned around and saw a middle-aged man.
He is about forty years old, skinny as a stick, with a trace of anxiety between his brows, as if his edges have been crushed by life.
This person seems to be having a bad time recently, with a bitter look on his face and a frown on his face.
"It's me, are you the landlord?"
Liu Hou asked.
The landlord nodded and introduced himself: "Yes. My name is Lu Cheng, and I am the landlord of 404. Little brother, I will take you to see the house."
The old men hesitated to speak, but Lu Cheng glared at them, as if to warn them not to meddle in their own business.
The old people curled their lips and dispersed.
Although Liu Hou was a little strange, he still followed the landlord into the community.
The facilities in the community are outdated, the greening is arrogant, and the property management is inactive, making it look messy.
We went all the way to Building 4 and took the elevator to the 4th floor.
In front of the door of Room 4, he stopped.
There were traces of many things pasted on the vermilion security door, but they were all torn off.
These traces looked familiar to Liu Hou, they were clearly talismans.
The door was covered with talismans.
The landlord took out the key and opened the door.
As soon as he pulled it, the door made an unpleasant friction sound that made people grit their teeth.
Lu Cheng smiled awkwardly: "This house has been vacant for a while. I will put some oil on the inside of the door later and the sound will be lubricated."
He stood at the door, but didn't want to go in.
Let Liu Hou go in and take a look, and see if he's satisfied.
Liu Hou didn't take it seriously and walked into the door.
As soon as I entered the door, I smelled an unpleasant rancid smell.
No one has been in or out of this house for an unknown period of time.
He walked around in a circle, although there were traces of talismans affixed to the walls and doors.
But these talismans have been torn off.
I didn't feel anything unusual.
Lu Cheng saw that Liu Hou was fine after walking around, so he hesitantly stepped into the door without daring to close it.
He walked lightly to the living room and took out a contract.
"If you are satisfied, just sign the contract. I agreed yesterday that this is a long-term lease, starting from three years. The monthly rent is one thousand, with one deposit and three payments."
Lu Cheng showed the contract to Liu Hou.
Liu Hou took a look and was quite satisfied.
I am quite satisfied with this house.
I can't find a three-bedroom, two-living room for rent near the university town even with a lantern.
Before signing the contract, he glanced secretly at the corner of the living room.
Suddenly, the cup placed on the cabinet in that corner fell down.
Fallen to pieces.
The clanging sound resounded throughout the living room.
Lu Cheng was so frightened that he almost urinated.
"This, this, this...!"
He nervously looked at the inexplicably broken cup on the ground, his face turned pale, and he still held on to himself, justifying himself by saying: "The wind probably blew the cup down. Little brother, don't be afraid."
Damn it, no one can tell lies with their eyes open.
The cabinet where the cup broke is not close to the window. Even if there is really wind, how strong must the wind be to blow the cup down?
Liu Hou curled his lips and didn't care.
He just glanced elsewhere in the living room.
There was a hint of fierceness in his eyes.
In the corner of the living room that ordinary people cannot see, there is a ghost with a long tongue, a ghost with flatulence and a ghost with a head.
His face was green and he looked hideous and terrifying.
