The landlord was an old woman with an old face, and both Wei Flail and the cuckoo were startled when they saw her.

There was a deep blue and purple under the corners of her eyes, although they knew it was dark circles, but they were still terrified, the landlord's dignity was too much like a combination of zombies in Cantonese zombie movies and European and American zombie movies.

Unlike many middle-aged aunts that Wei Flais has seen, her middle-aged figure is gradually getting richer, and the landlord is like a skeleton.

"What are you doing here?"

The landlord shouted unceremoniously.

"Uh-oh."

When Wei Flais heard her speak, he also knew that she was not a ghost, but an ordinary person.

"We're here to rent."

He pulled out a small advertisement in his backpack.

However, the landlord didn't look at his advertisement, but his attitude took a 180-degree turn and took the lead.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

She smiled and said, "I'll take you to see the house now." ”

Although the landlord still laughed a little, it more or less diluted the fear in the hearts of the two.

"Isn't that house here?"

Wei Flais asked casually.

They followed the address of the leaflet on the small advertisement and knocked on the door of the place.

The landlord's house is on the ground floor, and there are not many other residents who come and go. This building should not be her own, Wei Fang judged by the open layout of this building.

Usually a house rented to a tenant will have a large door, and through this gate will be the individual houses, but there is no such gate here.

"Oh, this is another house I bought, it's a little far away, my house is closer to the street. You also know that when you're older, you like to join in the fun. ”

The landlord's face was unnatural for a moment, and then he smiled again.

Wei Flail and Du Juan walked behind her, so naturally they couldn't see her face, so they didn't have the slightest suspicion.

Along the way, Wei Fang vaguely remembered passing through four blocks and turning three times, and although he was not familiar with the old city, he also knew that the three of them had gone to a very deep place.

There was no one around, and the cuckoo shrank his neck, and the arm holding Wei Flail tightened.

Wei Fang also flashed a little worry in his heart, this place still retains the old cityscape.

The cool breeze howled through the long streets, and the wind suddenly increased, as if the ghost was crying something.

There are also old old signs, bright red and bleak white, which do not look like shops run by living people.

If there are still people who look like this ghost and set up shop here, nine times out of ten they are not normal people.

This thought suddenly popped into Wei Flai's mind, his guess was not groundless, what he saw the most here was an empty house. In some places, the doors were not locked, and the broken curtains left by the previous owner were blown by the wind, and the doors were not locked, and the wind kept ringing.

If you come to this place to explore at night, you must have something wrong with your brain.

Wei Fang remembered the soul exploration anchor mentioned in the strange story, and he was also a little scared when he came to the scene. He's not afraid of ghosts, he's afraid of the bastards who do the black trade. This kind of old town house is complicated, even if something happens, it is difficult for the police to reach it for a while, and the layers of old houses provide a natural hiding place.

When night falls, these old houses come alive like ghosts, and inexplicable illegal deeds hide filth here.

The landlord turned around and saw that Wei Fang's face was different, so he said jokingly: "I don't know which bastard is spreading the rumor that we are haunted here, so that my house can't be rented." ”

"Actually, there are no gods and strange things, but those people have ghosts in their hearts. You also see that we have a lot of empty houses here, some people look at the wrong eye, the cat and the dog as something dirty, it is also a common thing, I have a friend to come to see me, when I go back, I was scared by the stray dog downstairs, I went down to see only to find that it was a skinny old dog, looking for food in the trash can. ”

Wei Flais agreed with the landlord's words, Zi Bu is strange and confused, and what is more terrifying than ghosts is the human heart.

Just like his mother, who ruthlessly abandoned her father and son, met her again and saw a charred corpse.

It's ridiculous, because of this incident, he has become a joke in the eyes of others.

My mother went out on a date with a few men, but accidentally caught fire and died in the fire with a bunch of lovers. It's an insult to her profession, a head nurse with more than a decade of work experience, having a tryst in a rental house in the suburbs, ignoring her husband and son at home.

The fire phenomenon appeared the wreckage of many sex toys, and Wei Flail was ashamed of this mother. His father was also depressed because of his mother's scandal, and he drowned his sorrows with alcohol all day after work, and the talkative and sunny father also went with his mother, leaving only a drunkard body that was drenched in wine.

The year before last, my father drank as usual, and his physical examination report detected severe cirrhosis of the liver, but he still did not follow the doctor's instructions, drank himself into the hospital, and then did not survive to the bottom.

Wei Flais thought that it might be a relief for his father, his heart had already been broken to pieces, if it weren't for his son, he would have left this absurd world a long time ago.

Wei Fang's hatred and authoritarianism towards women, thanks to the example set by his mother Lin He, he has a special wariness of women in his heart. Even the cuckoo didn't let him completely reveal his sincerity, he would spoil her and love her, on the premise that she would not betray him, if one day she did something sorry for him, he would become extraordinarily ruthless.

Wei Flais will only talk about these things in his heart, and will not tell Du Juan directly, because of Du Juan's weak character, what he wants her to know in his heart may cause a gap between the two.

He doesn't want to lose this girlfriend at the moment, and if the two get married and have children in the future, his guard may be lowered.

The landlady told them that her name was Fang Deshu and they could call her Aunt Fang.

It's summer, and the bright sun can't penetrate the houses, and the alleys are like a labyrinth of Tauros, shrouded in shadows that swallow the passers-by.

The ground is an old cement pavement, with varying degrees of cracking, and the originally uneven ground is particularly smooth. In the prosperous period, there should be many tourists, like themselves shuttling through these roads, the soles of their shoes are in frequent contact with the ground, which not only smooths their sole patterns, but also smooths the ground.

Although the place was gloomy and gloomy, the ground was dry. In this hot and humid season, walking in these streets and alleys does not feel that wet and slimy feeling.

Wei Flail was unexpectedly surprised, but Du Juan glanced at Fang Deshu (the landlady) and secretly pulled down the corner of his clothes.

"I always feel weird about this place." She whispered, "It's not really going to make trouble...... Haunted, right? ”

But he didn't want Fang Deshu's ears, turned his head and said with a tiger face: "Girl, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." ”

"You talk nonsense, ruining the reputation of my rental house, I will punish you for a crime of rumor-mongering and hold you legally responsible!"

Wei Flail hurriedly came out to make a round sound.

"Aunt Fang, you are angry, my girlfriend is not sensible, you have a lot of adults, don't worry about her family as a girl who doesn't know anything?"

Wei Yu said with a smile, and Fang Deshu's complexion turned from cloudy to sunny.

The cuckoo didn't understand how he could anger the terrible-looking landlord when he told the truth, but he still obediently didn't speak. Because Wei Fang used her eyes to suggest that she should not talk nonsense, she closed her mouth peacefully, and did not speak again along the way, she planned to wait until there were only two of herself, and then privately persuade Wei Feng not to rent the house.

This place gives her a very bad feeling.

Wei Fang said a lot of good things, which made Fang Deshu smile.

"I said Aunt Fang, it's time for this rental house to arrive, right?"

"It's here, it's just ahead."

Fang Deshu took out a bunch of keys from his waist and stood in an old house similar to the structure of the tube building in the last century, the outer wall of the house was covered with green moss, and a thin layer of soil was accumulated on the eaves that stretched out, and the spores of some unknown plants with tenacious vitality had fallen roots on it and were constantly growing. There are also creepers that snake their way up the shady side of the house like blue-purple veins.

Wei Feng was puzzled by the iron handrail ladder installed on the outer wall of the house, and he saw that there was a staircase in the house through the door, why did he do so much, and install the kind of ladder that favored the outer wall.

There was a gutter in front of the house, which was covered with a cement floor, and the smell was not pleasant. Just like the drainage ditches on both sides of the road that Wei Flail walked along the street, there may be a pair of shiny mung bean eyes living in it, coming out at night to invade the human world in search of food

Fang Deshu stood in front of the old house a little distracted, and Wei Flais called out to her: "Aunt Fang? ”

"Oh, people are old, they always think of something, come with me, I'll take you to see the house."

The iron gate in the style of an iron fence opened with a screeching sound.

The room was dimly lit, with a long corridor that stretched across the entire floor, and the light was particularly stingy in this place.

The musty smell mixed with the moisture in his nose was the peculiar smell of this place, Wei Flail sniffled, and the cuckoo buried his clothes directly.

She wanted to absorb the smell of Wei Fang's clothes to cover up the musty smell.

Fang Deshu is also a person who knows how to read words and feelings, she explained with a smile: "The old house is like this, the house on the south side of my building is a little higher, so the sunlight is not very good, so the rent is also cheap." ”

"There were other people living in it, all men, personal hygiene...... You get the idea. ”

Then she scolded again: "These lazy people, I haven't been here for a few days? Just make it look like this for me! ”

Two long steel pipes hang over the corridor, connecting to the walls at the beginning and end of the corridor.

Wei Flails and Cuckoo saw men's clothes hanging on them, even their underwear hanging at the door, and if they wanted to pass by here, they had to pass through the laundry array.

However, the density of the clothes is acceptable, there is no place to hang clothes, and you can pass by calmly.

At the end of the corridor is a large window with an anti-theft net window, and the marks are welded dead. The light shines through this window and shines into the room, which undoubtedly makes the humidity in the house worse.

The white plaster walls are peeling off, reflecting the long history of the house, with old iron pipes directly exposed on the walls.

There are four houses downstairs facing the door, and Wei guesses that the layout of the upstairs should be symmetrical with the downstairs, that is, there are also four houses upstairs.

"This house has two floors and has a total of four households, two upstairs and two downstairs."

"I think you young people like quieter places."

"There is a painter living on this floor, and there is another one, both of whom are not noisy."

When Fang Deshu was introducing the house to Wei Flathe and Du Juan, the doorknob of the room near the entrance on the first floor slowly turned.

Wei Fang's eyes were attracted by it, and he fixed his eyes on the house.
