Chapter Thirty-Six: The Strange Landlord
Qi Ling looked up at the tall building in the night, and suddenly felt a sense of fear in her heart, this black building looked like an evil giant, which made her feel very unfriendly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
1608。
She waved her hands to the sky, suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and pressed the doorbell corresponding to the house number with a pious heart.
At 6:50 a.m., she received a text message from the owner of the house, who was a very eccentric but still principled person.
The other party didn't ask anyone, so he directly unlocked the lock.
Qi Ling opened the door and entered the corridor, this apartment was actually some years old, and it didn't look beautiful in the dim light, but gloomy and compassionate.
She had just pressed the upward button of the elevator when suddenly the lights in the corridor flickered and startled.
Fortunately, the elevator door opened, and she dragged the box in, and nervously pressed the 16th floor, and then found that the apartment was only 17th floor.
This height is barely acceptable, and even if there is a power outage, you won't be trapped on it.
The elevator rose slowly, and in this claustrophobic space, her mind suddenly flashed several pictures before S City like a marquee, which made her a little dizzy in an instant, and the lights in the elevator were also very dim, but it gave her an inexplicable sense of dizziness.
It's as if she's forgotten something.
The elevator stopped abruptly on the 10th floor.
Qi Ling thought that maybe someone wanted to go up, so he stared at the elevator door.
"Little girl, borrow it."
An old and secluded voice came from behind her out of thin air, Qi Ling shuddered, couldn't help jumping up, and almost screamed.
However, the body was sometimes faster than the mind, and she had automatically given way to the doorway.
A hunchbacked white-haired old woman spun out from behind her, dressed in a blue cloth shirt, her face buried in fluffy shredded hair, and she couldn't see it very clearly.
Qi Ling was sure that when he entered the elevator on the first floor just now, there was no one inside when the elevator door opened!
The one in front of you is ......
The more she thought about it, the more terrified she became, curling up in a ball, shivering, and lowering her head as if to shrink into her neck.
You can't see me, you can't see me......
She said silently in her heart.
"Little girl, it doesn't seem to be from here."
The old woman, who had already walked out of the elevator door, suddenly turned around and said this, her face covered with brown spots was full of hills, her eyes were narrowed into a slit, heavy bags under her eyes, and her toothless mouth was dry and flat.
"Hehe, it's my first time."
Qi Ling reluctantly laughed, but it looked like he was about to cry, and said in his heart that you should rest in peace, don't talk to me......
The elevator door finally closed at a snail-like speed, and Qi Ling could no longer see the figure of the old woman in Tsing Yi, so she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she was finally alive again.
From the 10th to the 16th floor, it was good to be unobstructed.
Qi Ling dragged the bulky box out of the elevator and saw two opposite house numbers, 1607 and 1608.
At the door of 1607, there is a pair of red Spring Festival couplets, and a big word "Fu" is pasted upside down, which looks very joyful.
Comparatively speaking, 1608 seems to have no breath of life at all, but it does match her impression of the owner of the house - cold, weird, and withdrawn.
She knocked lightly on 1608's door.
The door soon opened, and the owner left her a back and dropped a pair of slippers at the door.
She could only be seen as a thin, long-haired, medium-sized young woman.
"Put the luggage outside first, no one will take it, you go in and take a look." A cold voice, unpleasant, but it doesn't sound uncomfortable.
"Oh, good." Qi Ling hesitantly changed his slippers and entered the door.
The room is very different from the darkness of the corridor outside, it is very bright and neat and clean, although some garbage has not had time to be cleaned up, but it can be seen that the owner is an orderly person.
Qi Ling followed her master around, and all the time, she didn't see her face, she didn't bother with it, she just judged the livability of the residence very seriously.
"OK, it's good, I'll rent."
After seeing the spacious bathroom, Qi Ling couldn't wait to say this sentence.
"Okay, let's talk about it then."
The owner of the house sat down on the sofa first, and Lushan's true face was finally exposed in front of Qi Ling.
The appearance is very delicate and beautiful, but the facial features look a little sharp and soft.
"It's not hard to rent my house, it's just that there are three rules. First, don't disturb my routine, especially when I'm working, don't go into my room, don't intervene, and don't complain. Two, I can't cook in the room, I don't like the smell of oil smoke. Third, you can't bring outsiders in, even when I'm not there, I don't like the smell of outsiders. ”
It was obviously a long list of words, but she expressed it very quickly and clearly, and there was absolutely no drag.
Qi Ling thought for a few seconds and nodded.
"My name is Luo Xin, I am 27 years old this year, I should be a few years older than you, you can call me Sister Xin."
"My name is Qi Ling, 25 years old, in fact, not much younger than you, if you don't mind, I'll just call you by your name, and call your sister to call you old."
Qi Ling smiled sweetly, with five points of sincerity and five points of flattery.
"Can I bring my luggage in from outside the door now?"
"That's it. I'm going to get to work now, settle yourself and don't knock on the door until you have to. Luo Xin's face was always cold, Qi Ling couldn't see any emotion on her face, and she didn't know if she was a tenant with her appetite.
"Well, can I ask, your location is good, the house is good, and the price is not high, why haven't you rented it out yet......"
Qi Ling knew that he was a little inappropriate to ask this question, but he still couldn't suppress his curiosity.
"If someone calls me while I'm working, I'm sure I'll hang up directly, you just call when I go out and wake up, so I'm available; Moreover, some people only need to listen to the voice and intonation to know whether they are getting along well or not, and there is no need to call them to come and see the house; Finally, it depends on my mood. Luo Xin said hurriedly, explaining it clearly.
Qi Ling nodded again and again when he heard this, and responded with a smile: "Okay, I know, you go and get busy." “
Luo Xin smiled imperceptibly, as exciting as the beginning of spring snow, but quickly retracted it, quickly entered the room, and locked it.
Qi Ling lay down on the sofa with satisfaction, and a sense of happiness spread around him.
Finally, there is a place to stay......
