Chapter 7 Neighbors
"Knock knock"...."Knock knock"....A quick knock on the door woke up Fang Yan, he slowly opened his eyes in the fog, the dazzling fluorescent lamp illuminated the ceiling, the too strong light stimulated Fang Yan's slightly open eyes, Fang Yan subconsciously raised his hand to cover it, "Hmm....it hurts...."A slight movement caused the whole body to be as sore as if the bones were falling apart, and the reaction on the body made Fang Yan sober up, regardless of the pain and grogginess in the back of his head, Fang Yan sat up hard, opened his eyes and carefully observed the surroundings.

The light current has stabilized, and a cool white light envelops the entire bathroom. The bathtub was already filled with water, and the spilled water beads on the edges were slowly dripping down like scattered bead curtains, and the faucet was turned off at some point, leaving only muddy water stains on the floor that could prove the mess of last night. Fang Yan's head turned back and forth, observingly observing all corners of the bathroom, and did not find anything abnormal, the "female ghost" disappeared, and even the mouse that he stepped on last night did not know where to go.
"Knock knock"....Knock knock"....The rapid knock on the door sounded again, and the deafening sound startled Fang Yan, he stood up from the ground, opened the bathroom door, and rushed to the door in three steps and two steps. Everything that happened last night made Fang Yan, who didn't believe in ghosts and gods, overwhelmed, completely subverted his cognition, judging from all kinds of signs, he must have hit a ghost, although he often listened to ghost stories when he was a child, but his education made him not judge this matter so hastily, he just wanted to find someone to talk about now, and let the third party help him analyze it from an objective point of view. Walking to the door, Fang Yan opened the door and blurted out "What the hell I'm sorry for!" The person outside the door was stunned, and then scolded: "You are the ghost!" Your whole family is a ghost! People have to look like flowers and moons, and all the towns and villages praise people's 'one flower', why don't you have long eyes and scold people! The leakage of your toilet has made the roof of my house just hung damp, I haven't said anything, you come up and scold, and it's unreasonable! Outside the door is a woman about thirty years old, with a round face with greasy curly hair, a face with heavy makeup and glamorous makeup like a colored canvas with putty, phoenix eyes, flat nose, and a big mouth, like the grandmother in the Qinglou in the TV series, and she is not easy to mess with at first glance. In fact, as soon as Fang Yan finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and before he could explain, the other party was scolding him, Fang Yan knew that he was at a loss, and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, eldest sister, I really didn't mean that, I just encountered a little situation last night, and I just woke up in the morning and was a little blind, don't be angry!" As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, the neighbor saw Fang Yan with a smile on his face, his attitude was sincere, and he was a little white face with a good face, the fire that had just risen in his heart had been half extinguished, and he looked Fang Yan up and down and said: "Is your toilet leaking, I just entered the toilet this morning and saw a wet piece of the roof, and there was a large piece of water stains on the top of the just hanging roof, so I came up to ask you." Fang Yan thought about it, it must be ah, although the faucet was turned off, it could be seen from the water stains all over the floor that the bathtub overflowed for a long time, "Yes, the bathtub overflowed last night, and it was indeed all over the ground, maybe the water volume is relatively large, and the sewer is blocked, why don't you come in and take a look?" Saying that, Fang Yan leaned over and prepared to let the neighbor come in to have a look, but as soon as the neighbor who was still full of anger just now heard that he was allowed to enter the house, his expression immediately flashed, his hands grabbed the door frame, and he looked around the house, and muttered while watching: "That... Little handsome guy... That one... You say something went wrong last night, and you say... That one... Damn it... Finish? What do you mean? After speaking, he stared at Fang Yan, that look of wanting to speak and stopping, Fang Yan knew that there was a story at a glance, and originally wanted to invite the neighbor to come in and talk, but seeing her hand picking up the door frame, her body retreating and preparing to run away at any time but probing her brain, Fang Yan knew that she would definitely not come in, he raised his hand and glanced at his watch, it was just 7 o'clock now, and there was still some time before going to work, so he said: "Sister, I'll go to your house to see the leakage of the toilet, and then discuss how to solve it, by the way, I will consult you about something, what do you think?" As soon as he heard that Fang Yan didn't continue to invite her into the house, the neighbor had a relieved expression, and glanced into the house and said, "Okay, let's go down and have a look", and then turned around and walked back, Fang Yan hurriedly called the neighbor: "Sister, I'll go wash up and clean up first, and then go over immediately" He really couldn't stand the unkempt hair, and went out covered in stains, the neighbor looked back at Fang Yan, and actually glared at Fang Yan with a shy expression: "Don't be so energetic, it's good to be like this now" Then he turned around and went downstairs, Fang Yan listened to her Taiwanese accent pretended to be old and hoarse, her whole body was cold, her hair stood upside down, and she quickly turned around and closed the door to calm down, "You don't think I'm tidying up for her, right?" Well, it's even more terrifying than last night! Thinking of last night, Fang Yan was in a cold sweat again, walked to the bathroom door, mustered up the courage to rush in and get toiletries, then turned around and rushed out to close the bathroom door tightly, which was no less than a 100-meter sprint. After Fang Yan finished washing up in the kitchen sink and changed into clean clothes, he locked the door and went downstairs to find his neighbor, Fang Yan's intuition told him that the neighbor must know something, and he was also anxious to find out what was hidden behind what happened last night.
Since the neighbor's eldest sister opened the door for Fang Yan with stunning eyes and escorted her all the way to the sofa, Fang Yan didn't dare to look her in the eyes, for fear that she would run away from the door, "Eldest sister, let's go and see the leakage of your toilet first, right?" "Would you like to drink some water first?" "No, no, let's solve the problem first." "It's really responsible, it's so dripping, let's go this way" Fang Yan followed behind the eldest sister with goosebumps all over her body and walked to the toilet.
Although the layout downstairs is the same as the 401 where Fang Yan lives, you can see that the neighbors are the old residents of the building when you look at the condition of the house, the walls have been yellowish for a long time, there are blackened traces above the heating, the solid wood photo frames on the wall have not been properly maintained, the dust accumulated on the decorative flowers in the corners and the clear cracks on the floor tiles can be seen that the age of the house is not young, and there is no careful arrangement, let alone any decoration. The 401 looks like a young man's newly renovated image, TV wall, gypsum flowers, floor-to-ceiling windows, in order to make the living room bright, the two bedrooms are changed to one bedroom, and the other is connected to the load-bearing wall and the living room. The bathroom is even more beautiful, the built-in bathtub makes people think of the treatment of a five-star hot spring hotel at a glance, if it weren't for what happened last night, the bathroom would definitely become Fang Yan's most lingering place, but now, he feels cold when he thinks about it.
The 301 bathroom is still an old-fashioned structure, and it has not widened the area like 401, the decent bathroom layout is very in line with the age of the building, there is nothing new, and the snow-white hook is inlaid in the gap between the translucent tiles on the wall, and it looks like it has just been renovated. Fang Yan looked up at the roof, above the shower head, a palm-sized water stain appeared around the gap in the newly installed ceiling, and water droplets were faintly visible in the middle of the water stain, obviously the water leakage was still continuing. "That's... Young man, look, the roof that was just hung two days ago has just been renovated, and this situation has just been completed, you have to be responsible" After speaking, he glared at Fang Yan with a little coquettishness, Fang Yan couldn't help but soften his legs, and the idea of turning around and running appeared strongly again, "That....big sister....." Don't call me eldest sister, my name is Zhou Jing, you can call me Sister Zhou or Sister Jing~", Fang Yan said with a little embarrassment after listening: "That... Ms. Zhou, there should be a leak in the roof, now I don't know if the 401 waterproof layer is not done well or the water pipe is blocked, I think it is more reliable to find a professional, I will call the agent and ask them to contact the landlord to deal with it. After Fang Yan finished speaking, he saw Zhou Jing rolling his eyes helplessly, and said: "Don't think about meeting the landlord, since the 401 accident, the house has been entrusted to an intermediary, and the landlord is only responsible for collecting money in the field." Fang Yan didn't think about how to start asking about 401, but he didn't expect Zhou Jing to take the initiative to say it, and asked happily: "Sister Zhou, my name is Fang Yan, what did you say happened to 401?" Zhou Jing realized that he had talked too much when he heard Fang Yan ask, raised his hand to cover his mouth, and hesitated to tell Fang Yan about the rumors about 401 with a flickering expression, Fang Yan knew that there was a play as soon as he saw Zhou Jing's expression, and he couldn't help but use the "beautiful man plan" when he was eager to know the truth, his body slowly leaned forward, his hand slowly put on Zhou Jing's shoulder, and said in a magnetic voice: "Quiet!" You must be able to understand how helpless I am to rent a house alone, and now I finally found my favorite housing, and I want to rent it for a long time, after all, it is not easy to meet a good neighbor like you, so I want to understand what you said, dispel my worries, and keep renting, after all, it is fate to live here and meet you good neighbors! Tell me what's going on, okay? Zhou Jing looked at Fang Yan blankly, slowly put her hands on the side of her face, lowered her eyes shyly and said, "This is really fate!" Fang Yan's hairs stood up again, and when he was about to say something more, Zhou Jing suddenly reached over and grabbed Fang Yan's arm tightly, Fang Yan was startled by her sudden movements, only to see Zhou Jing's eyes staring at Fang Yan, and whispered with a little horror and nervousness: "401... It's really haunted! ”
