Chapter 36: The Doorman and the Supermarket Owner

The next stop is Chengxi New Town, but the bus has been walking for a long time, and it seems that this place is not ordinary remote.

Because there were fewer cars on the road, buses were running fast, and soon a large number of buildings came into view.

The four big characters of Chengxi New Town are very conspicuous, and the overall building is like a large area, which is not as unbearable as imagined.

After Xiaohe and I got off the bus, the bus driver did not stop to rest, but turned around and went back.

Looking at the speeding bus, I shook my head helplessly, depending on the situation, the traffic in this place may be a little inconvenient, I don't know how long it usually takes to wait for the bus.

Standing outside the community, I didn't find anything abnormal, but I felt very clean, such a large community, since Xiaohe and I got off the car until now, I haven't seen a person.

Walking to the gate of the community, an elderly man walked out of the duty room, he was the first person we saw here.

"Children, look at your faces, you don't look like people in this community!" The old man stood at the door, and he didn't mean to stop it, but he spoke.

"We rented a house in this neighborhood, and this is the contract!" I took out the contract and showed it to the old man, but I didn't expect the old man to have no intention of reading it at all.

"I don't know how to read, but I believe what you say, but why are you renting a house here?" The uncle said, his expression a little puzzled.

"Because it's cheap here, houses in other places are at least twice as expensive as here!" I explained, and at the same time I had the feeling that the old man might know something.

"You don't know, there was an accident in this community when building a building, the steel wire of the tower crane holding the steel bar was suddenly loosened, and the steel bar fell from a height of dozens of meters, and four people were directly killed on the spot, I heard that the scene was miserable!"

"Because of this incident, the construction site was stopped for a while, but then it was developed, and it was completed quickly, and most of the people here lived in the old town before the original renovation, and everyone thought it was nothing at first, but after a while, people found out that something was wrong!"

The old man recounted what happened before and after the construction of this community.

"What did you find?" At this time, Xiaohe next to me asked curiously, he seemed to be more interested than me when facing the strange story.

"The first thing was that someone saw four dark shadows in the neighborhood after 12 a.m., and combined with that accident, people had to think about it."

"But later, more and more people saw the four black shadows after twelve o'clock in the morning, but when people approached, the four black shadows disappeared strangely."

"If it was just those dark shadows at night, people would be scared at most and wouldn't dare to go out at night, but after a while, many people in the community began to have nightmares and suffered a lot of mental torture!"

"Since then, it has been known that the neighborhood is uninhabitable, so most of the locals have moved out, and only a few have chosen to stay here."

"And those who move out don't want the house to be idle, so they sell or rent through intermediaries, there are many tenants who have rented houses here, but in the end they all moved out, so the rent of the house here will be less and less, and the agent must not tell you these when you rent a house, you are afraid that you will be pitted!"

"Listen to what the uncle said, hurry up and go to the intermediary to ask for an explanation, they will only trick you outsiders who don't know anything!" The old man said a lot in one breath, and the main purpose was not to want us to live here.

It's no wonder that Brother Zhang, the real estate agent, asked me to think about it again at the end, it seems that he also knows what is happening in this community.

"But we've signed a contract, and if I don't live now, the rent won't come back!" I spoke.

"Alas, count you unlucky, if something bad happens, you must ask the surrounding residents for help, I will be here every morning from six o'clock in the evening to six o'clock in the evening, you can also come to me during the day!" The old man said enthusiastically.

After expressing our gratitude to the old man, Xiaohe and I entered the community.

The huge neighborhood was very empty, and only occasionally one or two people could be seen, and they looked at us both in surprise, as if there had been no outsiders in this neighborhood for a long time.

"There's a supermarket over there, let's go buy some bottles of water, I'm a little thirsty!" Xiaohe pointed to a shop called Xincheng Supermarket.

As soon as Xiaohe said this, I realized that after walking for such a long time, there were not even some decent shops around, but if you think about what happened here, you can understand that most of the residents in the community have moved away, and it doesn't make much sense for the shops to open here.

Xiaohe and I entered the supermarket, and the goods in it were relatively complete.

"Just see what you need, just take it yourself!" At this time, the man sitting on the counter chair said.

"Are you the owner of this shop?" Xiaohe went to buy what she needed, and I stood at the counter and said to the man.

"Yes, there are usually few customers, and I am enough for one person!" The man said that his eyes were very dark, and he probably hadn't rested well recently.

"I think there is only one of your supermarkets in this neighborhood, is it enough for such a large supermarket in this community?" I asked curiously, wanting to hear what the supermarket owner would say.

"Don't look at this big community, but there are not many people living there, if it weren't for the fact that the façade of my supermarket is my own, I would have stopped doing it a long time ago!" The supermarket owner seemed a little unhappy when he said this.

"By the way, you should be newly moved in by the way, you have nothing to do in the future to patronize my business, and I will give you a discount if you buy more!" The supermarket owner continued.

"But just now we heard from the old man in the doorman that there have been accidents in this place before, and some unbelievable things have often happened recently, so we don't know how long we will stay!" I said to the supermarket owner with normal human thinking.

"Hey, don't listen to his nonsense, he's an old madman, this place is no problem, there was indeed an accident when the construction site started, but the haunted thing is definitely hearsay, don't believe it!"

The supermarket owner hurriedly said, but his expression was a little unnatural.

There is a contradiction between what the doorman and the supermarket owner said, but for now, I prefer to believe the doorman's words.

Looking at the supermarket owner's appearance, I always feel that he is lying, he may know something but he doesn't say it, is it just to keep us customers?
