After graduating from university, Zhang Liang always wanted to stay in Beijing, but he never found a job that matched his major. At the moment, he has to borrow to live in his old classmate, but now that the old classmate has a girlfriend, the two of them are getting hotter and hotter, if it weren't for the fact that he always lives in his house, it is estimated that the two young couples would have lived together a long time ago.

Even people who have no eyesight know that it's time to go out and rent a house by themselves, but Zhang Liang doesn't have much money, and his pocket is cleaner than his face. In order to find a cheap and practical house, he traveled almost half of Beijing.

Not to mention, let this kid find one. The real estate agent took him to see the house, although the location is a bit out of the way, it is still a bungalow, but the house is very large, in a small courtyard house on the outskirts of Beijing.

The most important thing is that the price is cheap, Zhang Liang rented this house at the price of renting a basement. There are three bungalows in the courtyard, and the real estate agent said that two of them were used by the homeowner to store sundries, so they could not be used by Zhang Liang.

The room where Zhang Liang lives has a total of two rooms, a bedroom and a living room, and the area of the two rooms is not large, with more than 30 square meters. There is a separate toilet in the yard, which is good for flushing.

As soon as he walked into the house, Zhang Liang smelled a musty smell on his face, and the real estate agent said with a smile: "It's okay, just clean and clean, the old house has some smell, it doesn't matter." ”

Yes, it doesn't matter, for Zhang Liang, it's good to have a roof for him to shelter from the wind and rain, and what kind of bicycle do you need! So he didn't hesitate and handed over the money to the real estate agent at that time.

He went back to his old classmates and moved into the house that night. Maybe it's been too long since no one has lived there, and the yard is overgrown with weeds. Zhang Liang thought that when he had time, he would pull out the grass in the yard, so as not to attract any snakes, insects, rats and ants.

It is relatively simple for boys to collect the house, and Zhang Liang is no exception, he just packed all the things of the previous residents in the house into a cardboard box and prepared to throw them away the next day. The dust in the room was very thick, so he swept it hastily, then ate a box of instant noodles for dinner, and began to make his resume.

Before I knew it, it was already very late, Zhang Liang looked at the time, it was two o'clock in the morning. He stretched wide, closed his computer, and was ready to go back to bed. Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the courtyard.

Zhang Liang was stunned, isn't this small courtyard the only one who lives? It can't be a thief coming in, right? But what can I steal from a poor student with such a broken yard?

He casually picked up his phone and turned on the flashlight function inside. Without thinking about it, I went out of the room to check. Since this small courtyard is in the suburbs, there are no big buildings nearby, so it is very dark in the vicinity at night. A few dots of light are also the lights of nearby residents' homes.

Zhang Liang stood in this already desolate courtyard, blowing gusts of cold wind, and his heart suddenly started to furn for no reason. He looked around, and the courtyard was not counted, and it was clear at a glance that there was nothing. It's just that the grass in the courtyard is too high, rustling in the wind, and it sounds a little creepy in this silent night.

It seemed that he was scared of himself, and he laughed at himself in his heart and turned back to the house. But as soon as he lay back on the bed, he heard footsteps in the yard again, "Click...... "Click...... like the sound of a woman walking in slippers.

Maybe next door? No, he clearly remembered that the real estate agent told him that the house next door was a grocery store warehouse, and there was a fire a few years ago, and the boss didn't want to redecorate it, so he asked him to sell it, but because the main structure of the house was also damaged, it was difficult to sell it again, and it has been vacant until now.

Zhang Liang almost held his breath and listened, and sure enough, it came from the courtyard outside, and he turned on the flashlight again and went out to check. This time he didn't rush out, but hid in the doorway, trying to see what was going on outside.

"Click...... ......" Zhang Liang heard this voice again, he opened the door with a loud scream, and a cold wind blew into the room. But there was still nothing in the yard.

Suddenly, there was a cry like a baby crying on the courtyard wall, and Zhang Liang's scalp was numb when he heard it, and he quickly looked up to see that it was a black cat squatting on the courtyard wall. Its eyes shimmer green in the dark night, making people shudder.

"Go, go, go! It's so frustrating! Zhang Liang saw that it was a black cat, and he was so angry in his heart, so he picked up a small pebble from the ground and hit it. Meow ......" the black cat screamed and fled.

After Zhang Liang returned to the house, he listened carefully again, and it was really quiet outside, it seemed that the stinky cat was really scaring himself. However, his heart was still a little hairy, thinking that it was strange and scary to live alone in such a remote place, it was better to ......

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, why don't you find a roommate online! First, it can give yourself courage, and secondly, it can share the rent, which is really a good idea. So the next day, he posted a post on the Internet to recruit roommates, and he didn't have too many requirements for this roommate Zhang Liang, first of all, he was a boy, and then he had a cheerful personality, and it was OK if he liked to make friends.

Zhang Liang doesn't have much money in his hand now, and at least he has a single bed in the house to recruit roommates. So he went to the second-hand furniture market early in the morning and spent 120 yuan to buy a second-hand single bed.

As a result, the bed was bought, but a few people came in a row, and after looking at the house, they all said that the conditions were too poor and they didn't want to live in this kind of place or something. Zhang Liang was depressed, he spent 120 yuan in vain, and the food expenses for the second half of the month have not yet been settled!

In the evening, he had to buy two steamed buns and a bag of pickles for dinner, thinking about his current predicament, it seems that he will have to find a job tomorrow to do it first! Otherwise, you're going to be hungry......

Thinking about the few people who came this afternoon, he was angry, and he was still picky for such a little rent! Zhang Liang was angry, so he deleted the post, thinking: No more rent! Be yourself. But as soon as he finished deleting it, his phone rang......

"Hello, are you recruiting roommates?" A deep male voice came from the phone.

Zhang Liang said angrily: "Yes, but my house is very dilapidated and far from the city!" If you can accept these two conditions, you can come and see the property. ”

The other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's okay, I can accept it, can I see the room now?" ”

"Now?" Zhang Liang looked up and looked outside, it was already dark.

"Bang...... Boom...... There was a knock on the door.

Zhang Liang thought to himself: It won't be so fast, right? He just wanted to ask if it was you, but found that the other party hung up. He put down the phone and went to the courtyard and asked, "Who?" ”

"Oh, hello, I'm the guy who just called."

It's really him, Zhang Liang opened the door without saying a word. A man in a white shirt stood outside, looking to be twenty-five or sixteen years old, giving people the feeling of Svenwen.

"Hello, my name is Nie Zhijun. I want to share this house with you. The man naturally stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Zhang Liang.

At Zhang Liang's age, he had never shaken hands with others so formally, and he stretched out his right hand a little unnaturally and said, "Hello, my name is Zhang Liang." You go first to take a look at the house, the conditions here are not very good, otherwise it would not be so cheap. ”

Nie Zhijun smiled and said, "It's okay, I just like the remote and quiet environment here." ”
