Chapter 17: The Humble Cabin
When the mercenaries left, the streets returned to calm.
After walking for a while, Lei Luo looked left and right, and came to the student residential area, not only Lei Luo, but also many richly dressed aristocratic student freshmen of the same age as Lei Luo also came here.
After walking around the neighborhood for a while, Relo came to the front of the real estate agency called "Grand Harbor".
"Yo, little brother, come and see the house? Come on, come on, come in and sit!"
As soon as Lei Luo stopped at the door of the store, a plump woman who looked to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old walked over, smiling, her bright red lips were like flames, and she was extremely enthusiastic.
The plump body was close to Lei Luo, and the smell of heavy makeup was in his nose, and he grabbed Lei Luo's arm without saying a word, and almost dragged him into the house.
"We have all kinds of housing in the academy, as long as you have needs, you are satisfied! Look at the younger brother, you are a wise and transparent, young and promising student, and you will definitely achieve something in the future! But studying is a chore, it takes a lot of brains, you think about it, your brain is tired, if your body is wronged again, can you still study hard? Right? So, you must find a suitable house, you can't wronged yourself outside, you look at these properties......"
Lei Luo's gaze, following the other party's words, fell on the transaction prices of these houses, and he swallowed in horror when he looked at the unbelievably astronomical figures marked on them.
Hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of trading coins!
It's just a house, how can it be sold for this price?
Lei Luo hesitated: "That, I want to rent ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the enthusiastic woman interrupted Lei Luo's words.
"Oh, little brother! I feel very kind when I see you! Don't be too long-winded with my sister, listen to my sister's advice, it's not cost-effective to rent too much! Think about it, if you want to live here for three years, you have to pay three years of house rent, according to the average monthly rent of one gold coin here, it is twelve gold coins a year, and thirty-six gold coins for three years!"
After a change of expression, the woman said: "After paying the rent with so much money, if you buy a property as an investment, maybe it will increase in value after three years?
The lipstick lips covered in lipstick, beep bar kept talking all the time, if Lei Luo had money, he really wanted to buy a house here.
"I don't have any money. ”
Lei Luo said helplessly: "I just want to rent a house." ”
The woman sighed, and saw that Lei Luo really didn't have much oil and water, so she said, "Well, if you rent a house, we also have ...... here."
The enthusiasm decreased, and the woman no longer held Lei Luo's arm, and began to introduce the housing situation by herself, ranging from seventy or eighty silver coins to several gold coins per month.
This time, it was Lei Luo who interrupted the other party.
"Uh, I want to rent the cheapest house!the cheapest!"
"The cheapest?"
Pouting, the woman thought about it, and then said helplessly: "Hey...... Little brother, it's not easy to see you, so I'll tell you the truth. The cheapest housing in the college is the dormitory building in the old southeast area, which is the oldest batch of residences in the college, the facilities are not very perfect, and it is far away from the teaching building, generally about 50 silver coins per month, no matter how low it is, our agents can't make any money, and they generally won't introduce it to the public. ”
"Fifty silver coins! Is there really no lower price to rent?"
The woman rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, the house outside the school district is cheap, or you go to find a shop to work, maybe the store will give preferential treatment to work-study students, including food and accommodation." ”
"Well, then!"
Lei Luo compromised and could only accept the sky-high rent of fifty silver coins per month.
Pay a deposit, choose a house, agree on the terms, sign the deed.
It took the morning.
When Lei Luo signed the name "Lei Luo Gubo" on the contract, the woman couldn't help but roll her eyes again, obviously thinking that Lei Luo was some down-and-out nobleman.
"Okay, on the 10th of each month in the future, pay the rent on time, and charge three thousandths of the interest for one day after the deadline, this is the room key, pay attention to preservation, if the furniture in the room is damaged, you need to pay according to the price......"
Instinctively, halfway through, realizing that there was no furniture in the room at all, the woman was amused by herself and shook her head.
When the woman left, looking at this small room of only a dozen square meters, only a bed and a desk, it had not been inhabited for a long time, and the wall paint had fallen off a lot, and there were even some cockroaches crawling in the corner, Lei Luo couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.
This kind of house even has to rent fifty silver coins of its own.
If you are in the small town of Onyx Lake, the rent is enough to build another house like this.
As for the other party's statement that the public facilities were outdated and far away from the teaching building, Lei Luo didn't care.
After tidying up the mess in the room, Lei Luo found the broom in the public washing area outside, found a worn-out rag, and began to clean it up, and time passed unconsciously.
Night falls.
"Whew, it's finally cleaned up!"
Looking at the hut, although it is dilapidated, it is finally clean and tidy, and the thought that I will live here for a long time in the future inevitably gives birth to a little kindness.
The house is located in the southeast corner of the outer courtyard of the college, and the bluestone paved streets have become potholed with the years, and several old buildings in the vicinity are full of such miniature single rooms, which are overcrowded, and at night, the miscellaneous sounds of children crying, practicing the accordion, and quarrels between husband and wife begin to boil.
The people who live here seem to have long since adapted, in stark contrast to the silent nights of the small town of Lake Onyx.
Lei Luo went to the balcony and leaned on it, looking out at the brilliant and prosperous lights of the scholar's street in the distance.
"In the future, this will be the beginning of a new life for myself!"
For a moment, Lei Luo couldn't help but feel surging in his heart.
"New moves?"
Lei Luo looked towards the sound, on the windowsill of the neighbor's house, a beautiful woman in her thirties wearing a loose gray robe and pajamas was sitting leaning back, holding a cigarette roll in the corner of her mouth, the years had left some marks on her face, holding a wine bottle in one hand, faintly drunk, revealing a snow-white long leg, sitting on the balcony on the second floor, looking at herself.
"Hello, my name is Lei Luo. ”
Lei Luo greeted politely, and when he saw that the other party was wearing revealing clothes, he didn't dare to look more, and turned his head to look in other directions.
"I'm afraid my sister will eat you!"
The woman raised her head and "grunted", took a sip of wine, and then took a hard puff of cigarette, and the smoke ring she spit out was blown away by the wind, and said lightly: "You came in through the contribution badge, right?"
"How do you know?"
Lei Luo asked in surprise.
The woman glanced at Lei Luo and tossed the cigarette butt downstairs into the street.
"Every three years, I've sent away a lot of scholars here, and I know all the tenants of your house. ”
"Who are you?"
Lei Luo looked at the other party in surprise.
The woman seemed to laugh at herself, and said nonchalantly: "My first husband, like you, also came in with that badge, he said that he wanted to become the greatest magician and give me eternal happiness, but then because of the magic backlash, he spontaneously burned into ashes in front of himself. ”
"Huh?"
Lei Luo was taken aback!
The woman drunkenly sneered and continued: "My second husband is a well-known pharmacist, because he found a few Demon Star Grass in the Demon Eagle Forest, he was killed by a mercenary group of the Principality of Sealand, and I haven't even seen the corpse until now, leaving me alone to guard the pharmacy!"
Boom!
The wine bottle was thrown down the street, but fortunately no one passed downstairs, and the woman closed the window and returned to the room, and Lei Luo was alone for a long time.
