Chapter 274: Renting (1)
In fact, from the moment he entered the shantytown, Gan Yunting noticed that someone was following him, and the person was not very close, so he kept falling far away from him.
The purpose of his mobile phone to make this call was just to make a call to his own people, he had already entered the shantytown, and let them find an opportunity to point out the direction of the golden knife for him.
Of course, given that there were people following him, he couldn't say it too clearly.
When he hung up the phone, he didn't put the phone in his pocket, but kept holding it in his hand.
As he walked forward, he didn't forget to look carefully left and right, as if he was looking for a rental sign.
As he walked, he pushed his glasses from time to time, and when he encountered a dimly lit place, he deliberately looked closer to make himself look like he really had poor eyesight.
He had to walk almost two hundred meters inside, and there were fewer and fewer houses around, sometimes five or six meters away, before a single household had a light on, and if he hadn't looked up, he could see the sky above him from the eaves that were almost close together, and he would have really lost his bearings in it.
The more he went inside, the sparser the crowd became, and his pace slowed down.
"Was that girl lying to me just now?"
He muttered to himself as he hesitated and walked forward.
There are many vacant rooms, but there are almost no rental signs.
He walked a long way ahead, and at last he saw a rudimentary wooden board hanging on the wall of the door of a house.
Hire.
There are two simple big characters on the wooden board, these two simple big characters are neatly written, and they don't seem to be neat and tidy at all for uneducated people.
The surrounding light was very dim, Gan Yunting hesitated for a moment, turned on the flashlight function of the mobile phone and shone on the wooden board, trying to find the contact number from above.
But except for the two big characters on this wooden board, there is not a single word left.
And the two big characters are also a little mottled, and they look like they were written with paint, but because of the age, the paint began to peel off.
He could see clearly that there was indeed no contact information on the board.
Hey, that's kind of interesting.
Renting a house, I didn't leave contact information.
Gan Yunting took a step back, looked up at the door made of iron plates in front of him, pushed his glasses, raised his hand, and knocked on the door.
"Bell. ”
The sound of this door made of iron plate and the door made of wooden board is completely different.
The sound of the door made of iron plate was thick and unexpectedly crisp, and at the same time as it was knocked, Gan Yunting also heard the faint sound of chains.
It seems that there is a chain behind this door.
He stood still, silently waiting for footsteps to sound inside.
He wasn't in a hurry, but the voice came a little too late.
He was about to strike a second time when a faint sound came from inside.
"It's coming. ”
The sound came out with the sound of kicking and tapping.
Listening to the voice, it was the voice of a man in his prime, Gan Yunting took a step back, standing two steps away from the door, waiting for the other party to open the door.
The footsteps stopped at the doorway, but there was no sound of chains ringing, but the sound of a man's questioning was heard again.
"Who's it, most of the night?"
"Hello, I see a sign for rent hanging on your side, I want to ask, do you have a house to rent here?"
Gan Yunting raised his voice, but because of his lack of confidence, his raised voice sounded a little torn.
I don't know if the sudden raised tone made him a little unaccustomed, but after replying to this sentence, he coughed softly twice.
The master inside heard that the voice outside was a male voice, still a young man, and the voice was relatively crisp, so he hesitated for a moment and began to open the door.
Gan Yunting clenched his hands into fists, coughing against his lips, and when he heard the sound of chains sounding inside the door, he quickly coughed again, and then put down his hand before the door opened.
He clasped his hands in front of him and hung down naturally, and when the door opened, he frowned slightly, pretending to be a little reserved.
When the door was fully opened, he took another small step back.
"Are you going to see the house?"
The man who came out of the door was indeed a middle-aged man.
Seeing that he was not wearing a coat, naturally he had just come out of the room, and a pair of winter wool slippers under his feet could no longer see the original color, although they were separated by a distance, Gan Yunting also felt that a strange smell was wafting towards him.
He couldn't help it, and took another half step back.
To hide his embarrassment, he lowered his head and pushed the glasses off his face.
As he looked at the man, the man was looking at him.
Although the man outside the door looked quite tall, he was too thin and weak, and he looked like he could be blown down by the wind, and his clothes all over his body looked old, and his sweater was even pilling.
Although he is not well dressed, he is quite clean, and he doesn't dare to look up at himself, he keeps coughing and pushing his glasses, like those young children who have just entered society.
"Are you going to rent a house?"
The man leaned his hand on the door and leaned against the wall on the other, and looked at Gan Yunting again.
Gan Yunting knew that he was examining himself, and hung his head even lower.
He didn't speak, but nodded a little uneasily.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is a weak and cowardly boy.
This kind of image, he is the best at grasping, you must know that in order to deceive An Yunuo that he was wandering, he really went to live with the homeless man for a period of time, during that time, he learned to imitate the movements and expressions of the people around him, so that he could disguise himself so perfectly in such a short period of time just now.
The man poked his head out and looked left and right in the alleyway, but he didn't see anyone else, he thought for a moment, took a step back, and gave way to the doorway.
"Come in, come in and say. ”
Gan Yunting nodded hurriedly, and entered the iron gate with some nervousness.
When the iron door slammed shut behind him, he knew that the sight that had been following him had been completely blocked out of the door.
"You've just come out to work, right?"
The man asked casually, leading the way in front, Gan Yunting recalled the visible work places around him, and he casually reported the name of a printing shop.
Maybe the man is not familiar with the print shop, but at this time, he should also pretend to say "oh" to show his familiarity with the surrounding environment.
"What kind of house do you want to rent?"
The man beckoned him into the house, Gan Yunting nodded at the man and entered the room.
"I heard from people who work together that the houses in the neighborhood are cheap, and I don't have much money now, so I want to come and rent a room to live in temporarily. ”
Before he entered the door, he had already thought of his words.
After entering the house, he found that in this room, in addition to the man, there was actually a woman, and the woman's appearance was very similar to the aunt who showed him the way just now.
It seems that these two should be in a mother-daughter relationship.
