Chapter 1 Renting a Room

Next Chapter

After graduating from university, I became a charter tenant.

In today's highly competitive social environment, people like me who only live on rent and eat and wait for death every day are basically typical "big unfilial piety".

Isn't it unfilial piety when you are in your twenties, when you don't go out to work hard to make money, and you live on a little rent every day?

But the good thing is that no one has ever said anything about me, and the only person who can say that I am has passed away.

These two houses were left to me by my grandfather after he passed away, and they are located in the Huanggu District of Shenyang, which belongs to the kind of old buildings that look like they may have to be demolished one day.

But helplessly, the developer has never paid attention to our piece, and if you want to survive until the developer promotes me to the second generation, I'm afraid it's still a bit far away.

I feel like that's what I'm supposed to do in my life.

Although it was muddy, it was also smooth and steady, which was enough for me who had no ambitions.

But God always likes to tease me.

I obviously wanted to take this path, eat and wait for death for the rest of my life, but it pulled me down another path.

It was mid-July 2013.

I posted a rental information on the same city website: "Russian-style small western-style buildings, transparent from north to south, full of sunshine, water, electricity and broadband are in place, heating in winter and air conditioning in summer, it is your best choice to rent a house!" ”

The previous tenant had to quit the rent early, saying that he had to go back to his hometown to get married, and if he didn't go back to reproduce, his father would not let him enter his ancestral grave in his life.

For this reason, I really couldn't bear to refuse him, so I withheld a little deposit and let him go.

I thought it would take a lot of time to get the next tenant.

But advertising turns out to be a good thing.

Less than two days after I asked for a rent, I received a call from a woman, who said she was coming to see the house.

I didn't think much of it at the time, so I just agreed and didn't take it to heart.

Although the security near the community is good, the north and south of this community are transparent, and there is not even a gate, especially in the yard at night, there are no street lights, and the scene of reaching out and not seeing the five fingers is not ordinary scary.

Those women who want to rent a house come to the site and walk around and leave, and no one will choose to rent it, and it is indeed a bit difficult for them to find a sense of security in this old housing area.

But as it turned out, I was wrong, there are women in the world who are willing to rent my house!

That day, as usual, I went downstairs to buy a pancake fruit, and while eating, I played with my mobile phone and walked home.

"You're surnamed Yuan, aren't you?"

Hearing this voice, I was startled, and subconsciously looked up, only to see a tall woman standing outside my door looking at me.

I couldn't help but light up and my heart beat wildly.

Hey, fuck! Belle!!

Although she is wearing ordinary casual clothes, her body line is perfectly outlined, and her convex and backward appearance has to be scored eight or nine points.

A pair of eyes are big and focused, and the gaze is very tough.

When I first took a look, I felt that this girl belonged to the kind of strong and decisive person, really, it was intuition.

Of course, what I remember the most is her legs.

Her legs are very slender, well-proportioned and not thin, like the kind of legs that exercise regularly, without any fat, and look full of vitality.

I saw that she was carrying a backpack on her back, looking a little dusty, very much like the kind of donkey friend who often runs around the country, if she hangs a DSLR around her neck, it will be a good job.

I silently put the hand holding the pancake fruit behind my back, I knew that there was a beautiful woman looking for me today, so I still eat a fart pancake fruit!

What a mistake, this smell of green onions

"Is your surname Yuan?" When she saw that I hadn't paid attention to her for a long time, there was some impatience in her eyes, and she asked me coldly.

Hey, this little girl has a big temper, I obviously left the title of Mr. Yuan, she is good, she is surnamed Yuan, she is called Yuan, you are really not polite at all.

"I'm Yuan Changshan, are you?" I asked cautiously.

"I'm here to rent a house." She said to me expressionlessly: "I knocked on the door just now and found that no one was home, so I stopped by and walked around, I am very satisfied, let's sign the contract today." ”

I was stunned, and said in my heart that this girl was teasing me or something, and she had to sign a contract without even looking at the decoration and layout in the house?

"Old girl, I'll take you in first, and then rent it if you're satisfied." I said, walked to the door of the opposite house, took out the key to open the door, and gave her a brief introduction: "This area is indeed a bit remote, but the security is not bad, although the street lights on the street downstairs have never been lit, but this street has not had an accident, you can rest assured, the house is fully equipped with water and electricity, broadband, two bedrooms and one living room, you are"

The girl ignored me, took care of herself and walked around the house, nodded, and said, I'll rent this room.

"You can think about it, this place is not better than the city, if you regret it halfway, you have to pay the deposit, my house is a mortgage to pay three."

After saying this, I can't wait to give myself a mouthful.

Finally, there is a girl who is willing to rent this house, and she is still a beauty, if I scare people away again, it will be really destined for a lonely life.

"I'll only rent for one month, but I'll give you two months' rent." The girl still looked at me coldly, and before I could answer, she continued: "I won't pay the deposit, I can give you the money now, if you think you can, we will sign the contract immediately." ”

"Okay," I hesitated, but nodded.

Anyway, this is a girl, there shouldn't be any big problems, and now I can't find anyone else to rent my room, while she lives in this time, I can continue to rent, not to mention that she is paying two months' rent.

We signed the contract that day, and while receiving her ID card, I glanced at the information on it.

Shen Han, a very ordinary name, is about the same age as me.

After collecting the money, I wanted to help this girl carry her luggage, she didn't want me to help at first, I was embarrassed to be her, this is my chance to perform, how could I let it go.

According to the plot direction or the plot on TV, I am a proper innocent landlord and a pretty tenant!

But then again, this girl doesn't have to move a bunch of things like a normal tenant, except for the backpack on her back, there are only two retro wooden suitcases.

But don't look at the small size of this box, it's quite difficult to lift.

My sister and I took a suitcase and went upstairs, and my sister left me behind in a few steps.

I struggled up the stairs, and when I was around the corner, I accidentally knocked the box, and the button of the box popped open.

This frightened me, and I quickly buckled her, for fear that she would know, and only after I checked several times that there was no problem, did I dare to continue upstairs.

When I got back to the fourth floor, my sister was already standing outside the door waiting for me.

"Why is it so slow?" She looked at me with some confusion.

"It's you who are too fast." I sighed, and said in my heart that this girl's physical fitness is also awesome enough, carrying such a heavy suitcase and carrying a backpack, she can walk up to the fourth floor like a fly, and it is a pity not to go to the track and field team for further study.

She didn't say anything, and after taking the suitcase, she went back to the house without saying a word, and I didn't bring a few polite words to me, so I could only go home boring to myself.

Originally, I had imagined countless scripts in my mind about cultivating relationships with beautiful women, but reality told me that everything was too much for me to think about.

I haven't seen her since the day she moved in.

Because it's an old house, and because there's a goddess living on the opposite side, as long as there is a slight opening of the door on the opposite side, I can hear it sitting in the living room.

But after all these days, I didn't hear her open the door once.

Not to mention this, the weirdest thing about that girl is that she never opens the window, and seals all the windows, and she has pasted several layers of thick newspapers on the glass.

The day after I found out, I went to her and asked her what she was doing, and the reason she gave me was speechless.

Just three words.

"I'd love to."

I

I'd love you to be a poop!! Is that a explanation?!!

But I can't say anything, after all, this house has been rented out, as long as she doesn't smash my house and don't break the electrical furniture inside, then I can't talk about her.

Originally, I thought that there would be a Korean idol drama or a domestic romance drama between the two of us, but what I never expected was that the plot direction would be directed to detective suspense dramas, or even thriller dramas.

On the seventh day after she moved in, I couldn't help it, and said that this woman had disappeared silently for several days, and there could be something wrong with her, right?! If she commits suicide in my house one day, I will be a murderous house, and it will not be easy to rent it out again.

So that afternoon, I was prepared to bang on the door when no one opened it, and knocked on her door.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!! ”

"What old girl, are you there?" I asked.

There was no sound inside, and no one opened the door for me.

I hesitated, but I still didn't dare to knock on the door, knocked again, and asked, "Big girl, are you at home?" ”

Suddenly, a voice came from the room, extremely vigilant and weak.

"Who?"

"Are you sick?" I subconsciously asked, "Listening to your voice, what's wrong?"

"Is there something wrong with me?" She didn't mean to open the door, just asked.

"I've left something in the house, can I come in and look for it?" I asked tentatively.

"What do you say, I'll help you find it." She replied calmly.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "It's not easy to say, I'd better come in and find it myself, you can watch from the side." ”

She was silent for a while, and then said, "Okay, you wait for me to clean up the house first."

After about a minute or two, the door opened.

It is no exaggeration to say that her appearance at this moment really shocked me.

Her face was pale with a pair of dark circles under her eyes, her lips were not bloody, and her eyes were still as cold as before, but they were a little different.

As for how it is different

To put it mildly, she looked at me as if she were looking at a dead man,

"Come in." She said, stepping back.

The windows in the room were sealed with newspapers, and the room was very dark, barely letting in a little light, not to the point where I couldn't see my fingers, but the dim feeling really put a lot of pressure on me.

"Why don't you turn on the lights?" I asked, walking slowly inside.

I don't know why, as soon as I entered this room, I felt my heart beat a little fast, even though this was my house, but I just felt like I was in a strange situation, and that feeling of oppression made me want to run away.

I later learned that it was the sixth sense of human beings when they were about to face danger.

"I don't like to turn on the lights." She said coldly.

She walked in the back position next to me, with her hands behind her back, and her posture was like that of an old cadre.

"My stuff is in the room, I'll go in and have a look, you come with me." I said.

She hummed and followed me silently, without meaning to speak.

"Shall I turn on the lights?" I asked, "It's too dark in here for me to see." ”

"Whatever you want." She said.

I didn't hesitate any longer, I subconsciously turned on the light, and suddenly I felt that the world was brighter, and the feeling of oppression caused by the dim light in the room was also reduced a lot.

"Let's go, come in with me to find something." Just as I turned to say this to her, the corner of my eye inadvertently swept over the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the corner of the living room.

At that moment, I could see clearly what was reflected in the mirror, and my expression directly stiffened on my face.

"What's wrong?" When she saw that I was stunned, she asked.

"Nothing, nothing"

My smile must have been unnatural, and my speech was a little shaky.

In the floor-to-ceiling mirror with her back to her, I could clearly see what she was holding.

Her right hand, hidden behind her, was holding a knife tightly.
