Chapter 185: Hundred Ghost Street
Of course, Xia Feng has no purpose in asking these questions, to put it bluntly, it is pure idle chat, they will all be neighbors in the future, and it is good to have some understanding, but he has not yet taken care of other people's family affairs.
"By the way, Ergou, how long has your house been empty?"
"It's been almost a year since anyone rented it."
"I think your house is very good, although the location is not good, but it is not so that no one rents it, why does your mother raise the price so high, isn't it more cost-effective than renting it out empty."
The second dog wiped a handful of runny nose.
"Lao Xia, you weren't the one who lived in the Kilt neighborhood before, right?"
"Not really, I just came here the other day....... Wait, don't call me Lao Xia! ”
Ergou snatched the football from Xia Feng's hand and slapped it on the ground a few times casually.
"My mom didn't tell me why the asking price was so high, but I knew that even if the price was lowered, no one would rent it, and even if someone did, it wouldn't be long before they left.
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Xia Feng immediately became alert, Ergou's words were a bit informative.
"Ergou, what do you mean by that?"
"On the surface, although you seem happy now, I don't think you'll be gone in a while."
Xia Feng swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively.
"That.... Ergou, do you mean that there is something wrong with your house? Ever died? ”
This is the first possibility that Xia Feng thought of, those who can rent this kind of house are generally doing business, although he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but there are some things in the world that are really unclear, if this is the case, it will really lead to no one caring about the house no matter how good it is.
Ergou shook his head.
"No, my house is fine."
"Oh? What's the problem with that? ”
"There's something wrong with this street, the end of the street to be exact."
Ergou pointed to the first fork in the street in the distance, roughly comparing this area.
Xia Feng's current location is basically the end of the street, and the distance between the two dogs is about 100 meters, which means that this 100-meter street is what he called "there is a problem".
Indeed, not to mention that it's okay, as soon as Xia Feng said it, he immediately noticed some abnormalities, and there were obviously fewer shops on the streets in this section, not only shops, but also few residents, and nearly half of the houses were empty.
"That.... Ergou, tell me, what's wrong with this street? ”
The mystery of the two dogs' faces.
"Lao Xia, do you know what the locals call our street?"
"What?"
"They call this Hundred Ghost Street."
"Huh? Why? ”
Ergou kicked the soccer ball out of his hand, and the soccer ball rolled to the middle of the empty road and stopped, which did not affect the traffic at all, because even during the day, the street was still deserted.
Xia Feng's eyes drifted into the distance with the football, and at this time, Ergou's voice came from his ears.
"Because, this street will be haunted at night, ah!"
After saying this, Ergou suddenly yelled in his ear, scaring Xia Feng all over his body.
"Damn, you kid is kidding me!"
"Hahaha!"
The second dog opened his legs, smiled and ran away.
was actually tricked by a child, the key is that he still asked others with a serious face, why? It's a shame to think about.
.............
Ergou's house and Xia Feng's headquarters were next to each other, and at this time, the door in front was not closed, and Xia Feng did not knock on the door, and walked in directly.
There was no one in the store room in front, Xia Feng walked to the courtyard in the back and shouted at the top of his voice.
"Chartered wife!"
"Who!"
The rough female voice immediately came from the second floor behind the courtyard, and the second dog poked her head out of the balcony, saw the summer breeze in the courtyard, and immediately said.
"Why, who let you into my house?"
"It's all neighbors, I'll come in with your door open."
The charter lady stood on the second floor and glanced at Xia Feng with a solemn gaze.
"What's the matter with you? Want to check out? It's impossible, it's clearly written in the contract, you want to refund me up to a tenth of your rent now. ”
"No, no, I won't check out, I'll discuss something with you, you come down first."
Hearing that Xia Feng didn't check out, her attitude became kind.
"Wait, I'll come down."
Subsequently, Xia Feng expressed his intention to her, and wanted to ask her if there was any furniture that could be borrowed or rented for the time being, tables, chairs, benches, sofas, coffee tables, as long as he could use them.
"That's it, charter..... Sister Li, do you have one at home? ”
"Yes, you come with me."
There was a warehouse-like house on the side of the yard, and when he opened the door, Xia Feng found that there were a lot of miscellaneous items piled up inside, including some furniture.
"These are all left by the previous tenants, the ones that are too dilapidated have been disposed of by me, and I feel that they can still be used here, you can move them if you need them, you don't have to pay, just give me the things back to their original place when you leave."
"Sister Li, thank you so much, I'll move with my eldest brother in a while."
Although these furniture are not fashionable and exquisite styles, they are still no problem to use, so that they can save a lot of money.
Sister Li waved her hand.
"No thanks, neighbors take care of each other, by the way, I haven't asked you what business you plan to do."
This question really stopped Xia Feng, and after thinking about it, he could only reply.
"Our business can be complicated, and it involves a wide range of things."
Sister Li showed a serious expression, like a homeroom teacher questioning the students if they had gone to the Internet café.
"What you have to do is not illegal."
"This ........"
Whether it is illegal or not, this is a question.
Sister Li suddenly laughed.
"Forget it, I'll tease you, you don't dare to do anything illegal like this, do it well, as long as you can live for a year, I will lower the rent for you next year."
"Uh..... Thank you then. ”
Before leaving, Xia Feng suddenly remembered what Ergou had just said.
"By the way, Sister Li, why does this street look so deserted, I don't see many houses nearby."
Sister Li was stunned for a moment.
"Your name is Xia Feng, right, you weren't the one who lived in the Kilt neighborhood before, right?"
What is the ...... How familiar.
Xia Feng nodded.
"I'm really not familiar with the Kilt neighborhood."
"Well, let me tell you, do you know what the people who live in the neighborhood call our street? They call it Hyakki Street. ”
Xia Feng immediately interrupted Sister Li's words.
"Wait, you said this is called Hundred Ghost Street, maybe it's because this street is haunted at night."
"Look, don't you know, why are you asking me why?"
Xia Feng's expression was complicated, as if he had swallowed a mouse alive.
"I ........ I just found out, and I thought it was fake. ”
Sister Li's face was mysterious, and that expression and the expression of Ergou just now were like carved out of a mold.
"No, no, no, it's not fake, it's true, and I warn you in advance, the people who live on this street are very strange, of course, if they are not strange, they don't dare to live on this street, you say yes."
"Yes, yes, that makes sense."
Sister Li's words were fine, but Xia Feng always felt weird, and that meaning was like saying.
There is not a single normal person living on this street, who is either not afraid of ghosts and gods, or has been kicked in the head by a donkey.
Xia Feng didn't know what kind of person he was, but Sister Li seemed to classify him as the latter, just like the tenants before her.
