Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Supernatural
(Thank you friend Chau534 for your tip~~)
As soon as Karina got into the car, Da Mao shouted, "Don't sprinkle dog food!"
"Hmph, if you don't allow it, you won't allow it!" Karin snorted arrogantly, then hugged Mu Qingcheng and kissed him fiercely!
"Oh, we're a poor single dog!" Da Mao and Chen Dong both covered their eyes.
Karina let go of Mu Qingcheng and said with a smug smile: "Where can I go to see the house?"
"Jamaica Bay, let's go!" Mu Qingcheng snapped his fingers, skillfully turned the front of the car, and drove out.
It is quite far from Manhattan to Jamaica Bay, and it took more than half an hour to drive for more than half an hour before I found the house for sale of Mrs. Hawke, although the walls are very mottled, and there are still patches of creepers, roses and other climbing plants, but it covers a large area, with nearly 200 square meters, two floors above and below, and a brick and tile structure.
In fact, plywood houses are basically not seen in big cities, such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and other big city residents, either live in villas, or apartment buildings, only Americans in small cities and rural areas, will live in plywood houses.
Big Bear said in the back: "This house is very good, along the street in front, a few hundred meters behind is the Bay of Jamaica, because of a natural causeway, the wind and waves will not be big, and there will be no sharks coming in, very suitable for summer swimming, in the future, you and Karina will live, ten or eight will live, it is this price, how do I think it is mysterious." ”
"Yes!" Chen Dong also said: "This suite is worth at least three or four million US dollars, and if it sells for 500,000 US dollars, if it is not the seller's mind, it must be a problem with the house." “
Karina said, "Those two people standing at the door should be the owners of the house, let's go down and talk to them." “
The owners of the house were a white couple in their sixties, both of whom were relatively fat, Mu Qingcheng parked the car on the side of the road, and the four of them got out of the car one after another.
Suddenly, the couple's eyes showed a look of vigilance.
Mu Qingcheng also understood, after all, the interpersonal relationship between Americans is quite tense, and there are three strong men on his side, and the surroundings are relatively remote, so if he changes his position in this old couple, he will also be vigilant, so he looked at Karina helplessly.
Karina smiled knowingly: "It's Mrs. Hawke, hello, I'm Karina, this is my boyfriend Mu Qingcheng, he wants to buy your house, these two are friends of me and Mu Qingcheng, they have obtained the qualification to settle in the United States, have a regular job, help me take a look today." ”
Karina introduced the basic situation very clearly, the old couple breathed a sigh of relief, and Mrs. Hawke smiled: "Hello, this is my husband Hawke!"
"Hello!"
The couple shook hands with Mu Qingcheng and the other four in turn, and Mrs. Hawke said, "Although the house has not been lived in for a long time, it is very well maintained, please come in with us." “
"Thank you~~" Mu Qingcheng smiled and nodded, and the six of them walked inside together.
"Look, we come to prune this garden regularly, and this wall full of creepers and roses was planted by me and Hawke, and after more than ten years, it has become a unique landscape in the local area, and many of our neighbors have learned from us. “
"The building is almost 90 years old and it's still as good as new. “
"Look, see the fireplace, on the first day we moved here, my wife and I had a big dinner around the fireplace to entertain our friends, oh, it was our happiest time. “
"The floor is also very strong, so many of us walked down the stairs together and it didn't sway at all. “
"The second floor is a bedroom with different functions, all facing south, the sunlight is wonderful, when you open the back window, you can see the endless Jamaica Bay, how refreshing......"
The couple seemed to open the conversation box and talked endlessly, Karina nodded again and again, very satisfied, Mu Qingcheng also smiled and listened, but he could feel that there was a thick yin qi in the house, and normal people living in it would have all kinds of problems within a few months.
Upstairs and downstairs, after a circle, the couple turned their gaze to the inquiry, a little eager, obviously very eager to make a move.
Da Mao asked, "Mr. Hawke, Mrs. Hawke, I have a question, this villa is obviously more than this price, but why did you sell it at such a low price?" ”
The old couple looked stunned and looked at each other.
Hawke said unnaturally: "We have been living in Miami, and during this time because there was something wrong with the funds, so we rushed back to New York to deal with the property, and we offered such a low price, and we just wanted to sell it as soon as possible." ”
Chen Dong shook his head: "Mr. Hawke, this is not a reason, even if you are in a hurry to sell, with the current real estate market in New York, you only need to be cheaper than $100,000, you can easily find a buyer, we want to know the real reason." “
Mu Qingcheng said: "It's okay, even if someone dies in the room, I won't care." “
Karina pulled Mu Qingcheng dissatisfiedly.
Yes, Mu Qingcheng once killed several Mexican drug dealers in an abandoned factory, and killed so many fighters in the boxing ring, full of blood, naturally she is not strange to the dead, but she is different, she can't only see the dead as a combination of charcoal compounds and proteins, she doesn't want to have died with Mu Qingcheng's love nest.
"This ......"
The old couple looked very embarrassed, and after a while, Hawke smiled bitterly: "Okay, I'll tell you the truth, I don't know what you think about some supernatural phenomena?"
In the middle of the night, there will be inexplicable noises in the house, such as the sound of flushing toilets, the sound of bowls and dishes colliding in the kitchen, or when you sleep, you always feel that something is staring at you, when you turn on the light to see, although you can't see anything, but after turning off the light, this feeling comes again.
Even on the night we moved in, our Alaskan Malamute barked all night and died inexplicably the next morning......"
"Ah, don't say it!" Karina grabbed Mu Qingcheng's arm tightly, and half of her cheek was pressed against it.
Da Mao and Chen Dong were also hairy in their hearts, and they glanced around out of instinct.
"Hey~~" Mrs. Hawke also sighed: "Yes, I think you have all guessed, we suspect that there is something unclean in the house, we invited the pastor of the church to do Mass, but it is useless, we are almost crazy in such an environment for several nights in a row, we can only admit bad luck and sell the house."
We changed several intermediaries, and the price continued to be reduced for several years, but not only did we fail to sell, but we also lost our reputation.
The surrounding neighbors and agents all thought it was a haunted house and advertised it everywhere, which attracted some people, but they didn't come to buy a house at all, but to experience what it was like to be in a haunted house!
We couldn't stand it, when we bought this villa, it was $2.5 million, and New York's property tax on large homes was 5% a year, and it increased year by year according to the value of the property, which meant that we didn't live for a day and had to pay at least $125,000 a year in taxes.
Really, this money is like a black hole, devouring our wealth, oppressing us breathlessly, we will use up all our possessions before we die, the cruel reality forces us to sell at ultra-low prices, and strive to get rid of it as soon as possible!
Now that we've told you everything, we can understand if you don't buy it. “
Karina showed sympathy, but she still pulled Mu Qingcheng one after another, signaling not to buy it.
Da Mao and Chen Dong also shook their heads and looked at Mu Qingcheng.
