Chapter 1 Unit 3, Building 3
Liu Zhen is looking for a house all over the world, but he is tired of it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe landlord of the original rented place wants to increase the price, and he really keeps up with the trend of the times! Walking through the streets of Yanjin City, Liu Zhen is physically and mentally exhausted.
He comes from a small town near the city of Yanjin, and his parents are both workers. After graduating from university, he came to Yanjin City to work alone, from distributing leaflets to delivering newspapers, and now, doing drug review work in a pharmaceutical company, it has been almost three years. The monthly salary of nearly 4,000 yuan can cope with him working in a small border town. I don't have bad habits, I usually smoke a small cigarette, occasionally have a meal with my colleagues, and my life is passable.
Until the landlord wants to raise the rent to 1,000 yuan per month, Liu Zhen's temporarily comfortable life is over. He had to search for a house all over the world after work.
Why is the rent so expensive now, Liu Zhen thought depressedly. I accidentally looked up and found that on the canopy of the bus stop, there was a thick paper with a strange style, which said yellowed rental inspiration: In Building 3, Tianqing Community, Jinlin Street, Yanjin City, some houses are rented out, single rent, shared rent, the price is preferential, the details are negotiable, this advertisement is valid until July 1, 201x. Contact: Mr. Yao, Tel: 138XXXXXXXX.
Liu Zhen looked at his watch, today is June 29th, just before the expiration date of the advertisement, it is now 7:40 p.m., anyway, this community is not far from where he is, go and take a look, it's strange that the rental still has an expiration date, it's really strange. Turning two street corners, Liu Zhen came to the front of the apartment building. The Tianqing community is open, belonging to the old city, and are all step buildings, 6 floors high. At the entrance of the building, Liu Zhen saw another sticker: Please go to 101 on the first floor to rent a room. It seems that this is it. Liu Zhen came to room 102 and knocked on the door. But after a while, the door opened, and a round head poked out.
Liu Zhen took a closer look, hey, this person is not tall, 1.6 meters to death, his body is as thick as the top and bottom, his hairstyle is all over the place, he wears thick glasses with a pair of bottle bottoms, and his face is full of obscenity.
"Who are you looking for?" the man asked.
"Oh, hello, I saw the revelation of renting, do you still have a house to rent here?" replied Liu Zhen.
The man's face showed an inexplicably relieved expression, and he said busily, "Yes, yes, there are still empty rooms, I'll take you to see, wait a minute." ”
Subsequently, the man went into the house and took the key and went upstairs with Liu Zhen, and the two exchanged names and basic information with each other on the way. The man introduced that his surname was Yao, everyone called him Mr. Yao or Lao Yao, here are all long-term rental guests, you can rest assured in terms of safety, now there are two remaining empty rooms in the building, one is 301, the other is 601, let Liu Zhen choose by himself, the other is good to discuss.
Lao Yao took Liu Zhen from the 3rd floor to the 6th floor, and saw that the houses were very good, these two rooms were two bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom, Liu Zhen looked very comfortable, and the water, electricity, and heating bills were all half price.
Liu Zhen is most concerned about the rent, but Lao Yao's words made him a little blindsided.
Lao Yao said, "The rent is not busy, you can talk about it later, rest assured that it is definitely not expensive, the two you just saw are 500 yuan per month, and I have a special touch here, I can default on the rent, and I will definitely not urge the payment of the house fee." However, we have an unwritten rule here. ”
"What rules?" asked Liu Zhen in confusion.
"That's it...... You'll have to try it out for one night, the landlord and tenant will get used to each other, and we'll sign the contract. ”
Liu Zhen couldn't smile bitterly in his heart, "There are still such rules, this is also a free trial stay????"
Liu Zhen hurriedly asked Lao Yao, "That Mr. Yao, you won't have a problem with this house, right? Let's open the skylight and say something, is it a dead person or how to drop?"
"How can it be, brother, if you don't believe it, you can just find a random one and knock on the door and ask the neighbors, or you can go to the nearby residents outside the building to inquire, I won't rent it out if there is a problem." The house of the 3 units of the 3rd building is my uncle's inheritance, he has no children and no daughters, and my father is the two brothers, he has loved me since he was a child, and he left these 3 units to me after his death, and I rent it so cheaply to earn more money to spend. ”
Liu Zhen thought for a while and said, "I came in a hurry today, I'll go back and pack up first, and then come over." ”
Liu Zhen was actually still not at ease in his heart, so he greeted Lao Yao and went out of the building, and walked around the old man and old lady walking nearby, and asked what was going on in this building by the way.
It's really okay when I ask, this is an old building, and there has never been any haunting, murder, pornography, gambling, drugs, pyramid schemes, or anything. The house used to belong to an old man surnamed Yao. This old man and old lady are just happy to help others, what is the gossip, old man Yao used to be an individual, at that time he was rich, bala bala bala, and there was no end to it. Liu Zhen hurriedly intercepted the conversation, and ran away after dealing with it in a few words.
Now Liu Zhen was a lot relieved, thinking that he would try to live tomorrow, and keep some eyes on himself at night, and if there was a problem, it would not be bad all night, and then tell a better colleague about the plan to rent a house here, so that even if there is any problem, he can leave a clue. For Liu Zhen, who has watched too many legal programs, there is still a sense of precaution. After making up his mind, Liu Zhen returned to his residence to rest, and after eating after work the next day, he came to Building 3 with the futon. found Lao Yao and went up to the 3rd floor together, tentatively scheduled to stay in 301 for one night.
"This is the key to 301, you can rest well tonight and see how it goes. With that, Lao Yao handed over the key to 301 to Liu Zhen.
As soon as he got down the two stairs, Lao Yao turned around and said, "We'll see you tomorrow!", and left with a smile.
Liu Zhen's heart felt a chill. Why is Lao Yao's smile so obscene? Could it be that he has made me stunned at night and wants to play a game of "chrysanthemums blooming" with me!!
Liu Zhen hurriedly closed the door, locked the anti-theft lock, and carefully checked it twice, and then laid out the futon with peace of mind. As he was packing up, Liu Zhen suddenly thought, I'm going, there won't be a camera to secretly film me! So, Liu Zhen jumped up and down in the house and overturned, even in the toilet he looked carefully, and finally didn't find anything similar to a camera. There is a dresser on the wall facing the head of the bed, and the mirror on it is very special. The frame of the oval mirror is not made of any material, it is not metal, it is not wood, it is not plastic. The pattern has never been seen before, and it is very quaint spiral. Liu Zhen wondered if it was double-sided glass, and he could see himself from the other side. But the results of the inspection were negative.
After working for a long time, it was almost 9 o'clock in the evening when I looked at my phone. Will I sleep or not sleep this night? Liu Zhen himself felt funny, would he have paranoia of being victimized? Forget it, let's wait and see. Hurriedly washed and changed into pajamas, Liu Zhen half leaned on the bed, holding his mobile phone to browse the web and swipe Weibo. At first, I was quite energetic, but I don't know how long it took, and I slowly fell asleep.
At this moment, a green light gradually appeared in the mirror, shining on the bed like a whirlpool. wrapped Liu Zhen's whole person, and Liu Zhen, who was asleep, didn't know anything about it.
Liu Zhen slept soundly, and in a daze, he heard the sound of Xi Suo Suo next to him, as well as the sound of dialogue. Liu Zhen suddenly thought, didn't he live in the house he was going to rent, how could there be people, I went, there was really a problem here. After thinking about it, he quickly opened his eyes, but he couldn't open them, and wanted to move his body, but his body seemed to be unconscious!
Slowly, he gradually regained the feeling of his body, and when he opened his glasses with great difficulty, his heart almost jumped out of his throat!
A group of birds and beasts in front of him! Yes, it is not an adjective, because in front of Liu Zhen's eyes is a group of birds and beasts! There are standing and sitting, and there is a vulture standing opposite him, next to a bunch of birds and beasts such as mice, foxes, leopards, peacocks, pythons, etc., and what is even more cruel is that there is an elephant and a hippopotamus behind him who stretch their necks to look at him, provided that the necks of the elephant and hippopotamus are obvious. All stared at him!
Liu Zhen wanted to scream, want to shout, want to go crazy, but it was useless. He still couldn't move. Liu Zhen's intestines are about to regret it, I will say that it is cheap and not good, dare to love that this house is a special private zoo, secretly raising these old wild animals. Hey, no, why is the color of this animal so strange, the green elephant, the purple peacock, the pink leopard!! God, it's not just wild animals, it's all special mutants! Liu Zhen was so anxious that he didn't want it, his eyes swept around, and then he realized that this place was not right! It's not 301, it's like a tree hole, with all the branches in all directions, and a brown monkey hanging on it, grinning at him!
Just when Liu Zhen was anxious to faint, he didn't expect the vulture on the opposite side to open his mouth and start talking to people!
"What's that, Liu Zhen. Don't be nervous, the first time you come in here, you can't control your current body for the time being, that's because your consciousness hasn't adapted to this new body, and it will be fine after a while. It's time to tell you about the situation. ”
Liu Zhen was stunned for a moment, what is a new body, hey! Where did you get me my original body?! If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't speak now, Liu Zhen promised to call the zoo first and capture the flat-haired beast who spoke human words for exhibition!
The vulture coughed, apparently clearing his throat, and then said, "I'm Lao Yao, that's right, I'm your landlord Lao Yao, and the other animals you see are all the residents of our Unit 3." Don't look at me with the eyes of a big fool, now I want you to relax and listen to me, because it will be at stake for all of us, and I am not alarmist. The place we are in now is not our world!"
Subsequently, the vulture who claimed to be Lao Yao began to tell Liu Zhen the reason for the incident with a confused face!
