Chapter 10: The Strange Old Mansion (Part II)
"What?haunted house?" After Ren Yang listened, he suddenly felt creepy, his back began to chill, and the whole person couldn't help but shrink and retreated behind Zhang Fan.
"What the hell, old woman, don't scare me! "Don't look at Ren Yang's five big and three coarse, the dignified seven-foot man is also scared when he hears dirty things.
However, after hearing this, the landlord replied very seriously: "I can't do business with my conscience, so I will tell you some information in advance, and you can choose whether to rent or not to rent after hearing about it." ”
The old aunt continued: "Actually, this old mansion is not mine, it belongs to an old sister of mine. Now that she has moved in with her children and grandchildren, she has left the house to me. Three years ago, I rented out this house to a young man about your age, who was a stuffy bottle and didn't go out all day. Later, I found out that he was writing some kind of online children's novel. ”
"What does this have to do with the house, old aunt, can you talk about the point?" Ren Yang was impatient when he heard this, and this person was a lot more wordy when he was old.
The landlord was very unhappy when he heard this, and reprimanded: "You little cub, don't interrupt! ”
After reprimanding Ren Yang, she continued: "Later, he died in my house. ”
The old aunt was obviously still talking about Rory in front of her, but now she has finished all her sentences, which makes Ren Yang speechless.
"That's it?"
"Yes, he jumped into the well and died in my house. You don't know that since he died, my house has been unsettled. Later, three groups of people came to live in succession, but they didn't stay for a few days, and they began to get seriously ill, and the disease was still very strange, as long as they left this house to recuperate for a week or two, they were sick and cured. Over time, the news that my old house is a haunted house has spread, so far, no one dares to come to rent a house, and I didn't expect you two little cubs to dare to come. ”
"You sealed the well?" Zhang Fan asked casually.
"Sure, what are the dead people still doing with that well, so I had it filled. ”
"Old aunt, aren't you a pit person? It's obviously a haunted house, and you still want to rent it out? We won't live in it!" Ren Yang on the side was speechless, and the landlord's aunt sighed after hearing it.
"I knew this was the case, I knew I wouldn't have brought you here, wasting my time, and I also made an appointment with a few sisters to play mahjong!"
But at this moment, Zhang Fan raised his hand and stopped her.
"Wait, I'll rent this house. ”
"What?" Ren Yang exclaimed almost at the same time as the landlord's aunt.
Zhang Fan had no choice but to say it again: "I rent this house, but I can't give too much for the price." ”
"Young man, the old aunt didn't lie to you, this house is really evil. I won't do business with a clear conscience, so I advise you not to rent. "The landlord's aunt seems to be a very good person, but who can change what Zhang Fan decides?
"I know that if there's anything dirty, just get it out. ”
"Can you get rid of it, don't be arrogant, little cub, I have already asked my husband to do the rituals, it's useless. ”
"Don't worry, old aunt, since you have posted the news of the house for rent on the rental website, and now I want to rent a house, what reason do you have to refuse? ”
"Do you really want to rent?" the landlord's aunt asked again, Zhang Fan nodded without hesitation, even Ren Yang on the side was useless.
"Okay, I'll rent it to you. You look at the rent, it's empty anyway, it's empty, to be honest, I don't believe in those strange forces and chaos, we are all cultural people, and I am also a retired teacher, how can I believe the nonsense of those people, it must be a rumor that they don't want me to rent out the house and deliberately put it. ”
The landlord's aunt's attitude changed quickly, perhaps so that Zhang Fan could live in it with peace of mind!
Zhang Fan smiled slightly and said: "Actually, I just entered the city, and I haven't found a job yet, and I don't even have a place to stay, so I can't give much rent for the time being, do you think five hundred a month is feasible?"
Zhang Fan knew that it was indeed impossible to live here for five hundred and one month, even a small house of one or twenty square meters would cost seven or eight hundred, such a big house, if it didn't make trouble, three or four thousand might not be able to rent.
But the landlord is a very real person, and it's empty anyway, so instead of letting the house slowly decay and dry up by itself, it's better to give a price for people to rent it.
"No problem, even if it is to make the house popular, but then again, if you encounter something strange and don't want to live in two days, I won't refund the money!"
"No problem!" Zhang Fan finished speaking, and took out a thick stack of money from his satchel, it seemed that he had already prepared.
"There are six thousand here, and I want to pay a year's rent upfront. ”
When the landlord's aunt saw that Zhang Fan had grabbed so much money, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, and she hurriedly took it.
"A year, yes, no problem, a year is a year, I brought all the contracts, I thought you only rented for a month or two, but it doesn't matter, just change the time. ”
The landlord's aunt seemed to be afraid that Zhang Fan would regret it, so she had already prepared the contract. changed the lease period from two months to one year, and then handed it to Zhang Fan, who signed his name without hesitation.
"Little cub Gengzhi, well, you go look around first, and I'll get you a pair of keys. The old lady put the money in her pocket, and it swelled and swelled, not to mention how satisfied, and happily left the yard with the fat cat in her arms.
Leaving Zhang Fan with Ren Yang, who looked puzzled.
"Cousin, do you really want to stay? Didn't she say that this place is haunted?" Ren Yang asked with great concern.
When Zhang Fan heard this, he smiled slightly, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
"Are you still laughing, cousin, did you hear me?" Ren Yang began to think that his cousin had a problem with his brain, but Zhang Fan replied very easily and calmly.
"This time, I picked up a bargain. This house is not haunted, but the earth is too heavy. ”
"What a hell of a hell, according to what the old woman said, there is really a dead person here!"
"Dead people don't necessarily mean that there are ghosts, you watch too many ghost TV. The so-called ghosts are more seen by people's hearts. A real ghost, even more terrifying than you think, that thing only exists in the mountains. Zhang Fan explained leisurely.
"In fact, this house is actually equipped with a spirit gathering array, and I am sure that the owner who originally lived in this house must now be prosperous, prosperous, and inexhaustible. ”
"Cousin, what are you talking about in the gods? they're all dead, and they're still glorious and rich. Ren Yang didn't understand what Zhang Fan said, but listening to his tone, it seemed that it was a mysterious matter.
"The one who wrote the novel who died must have accidentally stumbled and fallen into the well. I think his original novel must be a bestseller, and if you don't believe it, you can check it out. ”
"But didn't there be a few more waves of people living here?" The old lady said that they didn't stay for a few days before they fell ill. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Fan patiently explained to Ren Yang: "That's because this well has been sealed. ”
"Well?"
"That's right, this well should be a chimney, its original function was to expel the evil qi under this house, and then absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and gather the atmospheric luck in this house. ”
"I don't understand!" Ren Yang listened to Zhang Fan's words with a blank expression. Zhang Fan had no choice but to make another analogy.
"Well, you know the chimney, right?"
"I know that. ”
"The chimney is the smoke that takes the firewood out of the house, and if the chimney is sealed, what do you think will happen?"
"As a result, the room must be full of billowing smoke, who can stay?" Ren Yang said this, and suddenly realized.
"Oh, I see, cousin, you mean that this chimney is the chimney, and the smoke of the firewood is the smhimney. Now that the well has been sealed, the evil gas cannot be discharged, so this house is now uninhabitable, just as a house full of smoke cannot be kept alive?"
"That's right, that's what it means. Now, as long as this well is reopened, then the evil qi will be discharged again, and the Exorcism Gathering Array will be back in operation. Why not spend 6,000 yuan to live in an auspicious house for a year?"
Zhang Fan rarely showed a happy smile, this time he not only found a place to live, but also this place is quite good.
