"This plague-stricken dead mouse."

The fat aunt stomped her feet a few times, and when she saw that the mouse was not moving, she was annoyed, and took off her shoes and smashed them.

The head was not very high, half a meter away from the mouse, but it was startled and ran on the ground.

"There is a rat in this village who is not doing anything, and I usually don't see such boldness, maybe I lack food in winter, and I ran out when I was hungry......"

The aunt explained as she pushed open the courtyard door and went in to pick up shoes.

"How much?"

I interrupted my aunt's chatter.

The fat aunt was overjoyed and said happily: "One hundred yuan a month, not including water and electricity, three months of rent, pay three mortgages and one." If you don't have something to do, you can't return the rent. ”

I touched my pocket, a total of three hundred and seven yuan and eight cents, all the property left by Zhou Cheng before his death, and all the cash I have now.

Gotta bargain.

"Can it be cheaper?"

"Ouch, big brother, it's cheaper! The whole courtyard has three rooms, and you can't find a cheaper one in Jincheng. You just got this slot, and the police arrested the police for the previous offense, otherwise which turn would be your turn to pick up this bargain? Why don't you go around in circles again? But I can talk about it, and I may let it be rented back when I turn it back! ”

Although this old lady is full of words, her eyes unconsciously move to the lower right, which is a typical manifestation of lying and weakness.

Obviously, she has the intention of slaughtering one by one, and treats outsiders like me as fat sheep, as long as she collects the money, she is scared away for one night, it is my problem, and she will not return the rent, and she will earn three months for nothing.

I looked at her carefully and said, "Auntie, you haven't been sleeping well lately." I'll help you solve it, you give me less calculations, it's the consultation fee! ”

The fat aunt was stunned, "Are you a doctor?" ”

I said vaguely, "Sort of." ”

The fat aunt was a little hesitant, "I've been here for three years, I can't stop sleeping every night, as soon as I close my eyes, I feel a cool breeze on the back of my neck, blowing cold and my head hurts, I've seen it anywhere, and I don't see it, if you can cure it, I'll let you live for a month." However, you still have to pay the money first, pay two mortgages and one, and if you have something to do, you can't return the mortgage. ”

Okay, this is planning to pay less for my consultation?

"Let's see if it's effective first, I'll see you tonight, and I'll talk about the money tomorrow."

"Cheng, then you can rest upstairs on my side tonight."

The fat aunt led me into the courtyard across the road.

There is a small four-story building in this courtyard.

At first glance, it is privately renovated, with dense windows, not to mention more than 20 rooms.

There were clothes hanging on the poles outside the window, some of them were flowery, and some were shoddy and resistant.

It is obvious that the tenant's identity is very mixed.

While walking, I talked to the fat aunt, and when I entered the house, I made a list of the situations I wanted to know.

This fat aunt's surname is Bao Yuqin, who is a native of Bentun, has a son and a daughter, and relies on land occupation and renting a building, but she doesn't have to worry about spending money.

The eldest girl is now a junior at the University of Science and Technology in Jincheng, and she usually lives on campus and does not come back.

The youngest son can't study, he doesn't study after graduating from junior high school, he is idle all day long, messing around outside, and he doesn't have a home.

Her husband went out to walk the birds in the morning three years ago, but he lost it like this, and he couldn't see anyone alive or dead, which became a piece of Bao Yuqin's heart.

The courtyard where she lives is her own, and the unaltered bungalow opposite is a neighbor's.

This neighbor is an old errand boy, he has never been married in his life, and he usually runs around in the mountains and seas, and he doesn't have a home, so he entrusts the yard to Bao Yuqin to take care of, one is not allowed to move, and the other two can be rented, but they can't be changed, and the rent money goes to Bao Yuqin, which is the cost of entrusting her to take care of it.

Bao Yuqin lived on the first floor by herself, let me into the house, poured a cup of hot tea, and then sat opposite me and asked, "What do you think, do you want to feel the pulse?" ”

"You don't have to touch your pulse." I carefully observed Bao Yuqin's eyes and nose, and then looked at the back of her ears and hair roots, and finally asked her to stretch out her hands flat, look at the color of her nails and palms, and have a number in her heart, "You weigh two taels of threshold soil, and two taels of millet, mix well, take today's morning newspaper bag, before pressing the threshold, make sure you have a good night's sleep tonight." ”

Bao Yuqin blinked, "You're a gentleman?" ”

"Yes, I specialize in external diseases, auntie, if you know who is guilty of these problems, you can introduce them, it's not good, you don't need money."

Bao Yuqin subconsciously looked at the opposite yard, twisted her brows and thought for a while, before saying: "That, if you rent it for a long time, it can be cheaper, count you as ninety-five months, but you have to pay six mortgages and three." ”

"Don't worry, let's see the results tonight, and then talk about renting a house tomorrow. Okay, auntie, I'm going to give you a visit now, and I can't count the money for staying here tonight, including dinner and breakfast, this is the rule. ”

"Yes, I understand, there is an empty room on the first floor, enter by the inside, it's quiet, and it's warm, I'll take you there." Come to me at night to eat, there is fish and meat. ”

Bao Yuqin took the key and took me to the room.

The layout of this private building she changed is a bit like a guest house.

The long corridor has a courtyard window on one side and rooms on the other.

On the first floor, in addition to her own residence, there are four rooms.

She arranged for me the innermost room, eight square in size, with a single bed, a small square table, a simple wardrobe, and that's it.

Fortunately, it was very clean.

Bao Yuqin hugged the futon for me, which was also washed, and it still had the faint fragrance of washing powder.

"You rest first, if you want to apply for a temporary residence permit, go to the police office at the entrance of the village. We have to go to the police station everywhere, and we have a lot of outsiders living here, so we will open a little bit to make it convenient. Lao Cao is also easy to talk, just throw him a bag at the front door when he is done. If you want to buy something, go to the old Fang's shop in Dongtou, which is cheap and easy to use...... Eat at six o'clock in the evening, remember to come back. ”

After sending the chattering Bao Yuqin out, I put down the salute, sat down on the edge of the bed, looked around, and then took out a small incense burner and put it in front of the window, buried five penny coins in it, and lit three incense sticks.

As the scent spread, a number of insects ran out of the cracks in the corner of the house, and they fled in a hurry.

This is an insect repellent incense.

Wandering outside all the year round, the water and soil are not adapted, and the mosquito bite is another pass, the same insect, the local people are bitten and it is fine, but the foreign ones may have a fever and get sick if they are bitten.

So the first thing that must be done is to repel insects.

In addition to preventing insect bites, you can also make judgments about areas that you can't see by looking at the insects that have escaped.

It seems that in addition to spiders, centipedes, tide bugs, bed bugs, etc., there is also a small black hard-shell worm, the size of a soybean grain, with whiskers and chelae.

This is a corpse cockroach.

Something that can only be raised by human corpses.

Seeing this bug, some of the previous guesses became more and more certain.

I caught one, put it in a matchbox, put it next to the incense burner, and did not stay in the room any longer, got up and went out, wandered around the village, and bought a pack of cigarettes, a box of matches, and a small bag of coarse salt at the old Fang's shop recommended by Bao Yuqin.

When he turned back, the door of the next room was open, and Bao Yuqin's voice came from inside.

"Xiaomei, it's not that my aunt is unsympathetic, you owe half a month for this house! My aunt has lived here for almost twenty families, and if they all live like you and don't pay for it, then I can't drink the northwest wind? I really can't find a job, so I go home, I can't make a good job. ”

A soft voice sounded, "Auntie, you let me go for two more days, just two days, I met a sister in the factory today, saying that she was going to introduce me to a job, she was in a hurry to leave and didn't say anything about it, but I asked for the address, and said that I would come to me tonight, if I can do it, I will go to work tomorrow, and I will pay you the house money when I earn money." ”

"Okay, then it's okay, it's only two days, you can rest."

Bao Yuqin said as she came out of the room, followed by a young woman.

I glanced at it, and my heart couldn't help but move, and I looked at it carefully.

This woman is also in her early twenties, with single eyelids, apricot eyes, a straight nose and upturned lips, although she is not the kind of appearance that is stunning at a glance, but she has a seductive charm.

This flattery does not come from superficial facial expressions, but from the inside out.

The so-called beauty is in the bones, not in the skin.

This young woman has a very rare natural charm.

"Yo, Mr. Zhou, you're back, I've packed up my meal, come over quickly."

When Bao Yuqin saw me, she greeted me enthusiastically.

The young woman glanced at me, then turned and went back into the house.

When he turned around, his buttocks were like peaches, his waist was as thin as a willow, and he was moving.
