It was so hot that it was unbearable. The sun was hanging hot above the head, the feet were so hot that it could fry eggs. The air emitted a smell of asphalt. There were only cars coming and going on the street, and pedestrians were rarely seen. On such a hot day, no one wanted to run around outside.

A young man in his twenties was walking on the side of the road while slapping the wind with his hands. His military green T-shirt was soaked and pressed tightly against his vest. In order to cool himself, he was slipping under the shade of trees all the way. If there was a place without shade, he would rather go around it. If he really couldn't get around it, he would run two steps and rush into the shade of trees in front.

The young man is named Jiangning, and he is a student of a certain university. I won’t talk about any university, but the third-rate type. It’s summer vacation now, and others have returned to their hometowns, so he still stays in City X to find a house.

Others find houses outside to live in for freedom, especially those with girlfriends, and they must have a small nest of love. He is not, he is to hide from others.

He was not lucky and had two birdmen as roommates. One of them was fine, but he just liked to abuse dogs. He brought his girlfriend over to show his love every few days, and sometimes he would bombard others out of the dormitory. As for what he did with his girlfriend in it? Everyone understands it.

Another bird man was quite disgusting. This guy was not clean and there were few things in the dormitory every few days. Everyone guessed that it was this guy who did it, but he couldn't come up with evidence. Jiang Ning and several other roommates had installed cameras, but they didn't get the camera of stealing things, and they caught many things that were not suitable for children. For this reason, they almost punished them.

What's even more troublesome is that he made the idea of ​​installing a camera, so the birdman targeted him. He was stolen three times a month before the final exam, and it was useless to change dormitories, so he was still stolen.

So he had to find another house.

This is not a fear, but a lack of desire to experience the birdman. Anyway, there are still three years left, and it will be over in a blink of an eye. Who will know who will then know?

But at this moment he regretted it, and he didn't expect that the rent in City X was so expensive.

"Take it in the drip, dongdong..." The phone rang.

Jiang Ning took a look at the number and didn't recognize it, but he still took it.

A foreign accent came from the opposite side: "Brother, are you going to rent a house? Have you ever considered buying a house? Buying a house is the most cost-effective now. Next, the house price will rise again, at least double."

Jiang Ning quickly interrupted: "This is the truth. I haven't seen the house prices fall, but I have a house."

He doesn't want to talk too much nonsense, such people are all braised candy.

"That's fine. Have you ever thought about selling your house? The house price is so high, you can definitely make a big profit." The person on the other end of the phone did not miss any opportunity to do business.

Jiang Ning had nothing to say, hung up and blocked.

He now regrets finding so many real estate agents, which are useless at all, and cannot read the rental information. It is extremely expensive. Those people are like dog skin plasters, and there are twenty or thirty phones every day. So he is only looking at small advertisements, just like those posted on walls and telephone poles. Although the house is a little rotten, it is better than cheap.

As he walked, he looked around, looking for advertisements everywhere, and wrote them down as soon as he saw them.

Suddenly, a small advertisement made his eyes lit up.

The small advertisement is only the size of a palm, and is pasted on a telephone pole. The upper half has been blocked by other small advertisements. The four words "House for Rent" are only the lower half, not the upper half. However, what attracts him is the line of small characters below "1,500 yuan/month", followed by the address - "No. 128 Miaohou Street", and finally the person who rents the house - "Mr. Gui 202".

It's so cheap? Jiang Ning was happy at first, and then became suspicious.

This is too cheap.

Miaohou Street belongs to the city center, and is very close to Zhongsheng Department Store, Hengyi Plaza, and Guomao Mall. If you divide the prime location into grades, Zhongsheng, Hengyi, Guomao counts 24K, and Miaohou Street is at least 12K gold. If he remembers correctly, the one-bedroom household with public coal and bathroom there will be five square meters of living area and rent of 2,700 yuan.

It's not fake, right? Is it a bait, a trap, a black den? If you go in, you will be detained and you won't be allowed to leave without money?

This is not thinking too much, it is called caution, at least that's what he thinks.

Or else, go back?

But when he thought of the birdman, he felt so distressed again.

If he lowers his head once and can solve the problem, he will give up. Unfortunately, will it be useful? He has seen many guys who are not bullying enough.

After thinking about it, he decided to go and have a look. If he couldn't go there, he would have to make some preparations before going over. What if it was really a dark den?

Take out your phone, upload and backup the photos, text messages, address books, etc., and then delete them. Taobao needs to delete them. If there is an account on it, the phone itself is not worth the money. A second-hand bargain can be sold for 300 yuan and it will be a little too much. I will give you 500 yuan and stuff it into the soles of the shoe, leaving only 200 yuan in my pocket, which is regarded as buying life.

Confirm that there is nothing valuable anymore, Jiang Ning finally sent a letter to his email address, saying "No. 128 Miaohou Street, Mr. Gui."

If something really happens, the police officer can also have a clue when investigating.

He put his cell phone back into his pocket, took a deep breath, and reveled his feelings of being ready to die... He stopped a taxi.

Half an hour later, Jiangning stood at the intersection of Miaohou Street.

The reason why Miaohou Street is called Miaohou Street is because it is behind the Confucius Temple. For City X, this Confucius Temple is one of the best historical sites and a tourist hotspot, so it is not surprising that the surrounding area is more lively.

As an old street, there is not even a sidewalk here, and the middle is very narrow, so it is a bit difficult for cars to drive over. There are old houses on both sides, built before liberation, with blue bricks and green tiles, and shops on the ground floor. If you come here on Saturday or Sunday, you will see many small stalls, which was just lively at that time.

Jiangning came when he was a freshman, but after squeezing once, he had no appetite and came back again.

The door sign of No. 128 is easy to find, but Jiangning didn't dare to enter for a while because it was a clamping piece, with a width similar to a door, so the car would definitely not be able to enter. Be careful when pushing a bicycle in and out. The ground and the walls on both sides were covered with moss, giving people a very deep feeling, as if the inside and outside were two worlds.

He believed in his intuition because his intuition has always been very effective.

Should I turn back immediately? What should I do if that bird man does? Besides, are you worthy of the twenty yuan car money?

Jiang Ning looked around.

On the right side of the alley is a fur shop. He looked at the things inside and could only laugh. The luggage and belts were marked with Louis Vuitton, Pudala, and Gucci... Everyone understands it. On the left is a restaurant. Judging from the price list hanging on the wall, this one is on the civilian route, so there are quite a lot of people inside.

He was a little confident. If he asked for help, the people in the restaurant should be able to hear it.

Jiang Ning walked into the tucking tuck with his teeth.

The clamping is not deep, only about ten meters, and there is a building inside.

There is only one building, and this structure is interesting and has never been seen anywhere else.

It was an old-fashioned public house with only six floors, no paint on the exterior wall, and a layer of cement was applied directly, the windows were iron, and green paint was painted. From the style, it should have been built in the 1980s. Such houses can be seen everywhere, but Jiangning always felt that they were a little different, as if there was something missing.

Go up the stairs carefully, facing the stairs is 202, on the left is 201, on the right is 203, and the three rooms are in the shape of a font.

The door in 202 is a wooden door, the most common one.

Jiangning finally realized what was different. After getting the house, the first thing people do is to replace the door, either with an anti-theft door or a beautiful wooden door, and add an iron railing outside. There are all ordinary wooden doors. Not only that, there are no anti-theft windows installed on the ground floor and the second floor, which is basically standard in City X. The aisles here and the balcony are very clean, unlike other old houses with a pile of rags at the doors of every household.

This building is really strange, but he still knocked on the door of 202.

There was no reaction inside.

He knocked again.

There was still no response inside.

Knock it hard again.

There was still no response inside.

"Hu" Jiang Ning breathed, he couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or glad?

Just as he turned around and wanted to leave, the door of 201 next to him opened, and the one who opened the door was an aunt. The aunt looked in her fifties, a little short and fat, with a round face, a kind face, but a hint of shrewdness. She was wearing a single floral shirt, an apron tied around her waist, and a Donald duck was printed on it.

When Jiang Ning saw this aunt, he felt much more at ease. This should not be a trap. Even if he was a pyramid scheme at most, he was not afraid of this.

"Are you looking for Master Gui Er? Are you here to rent a house?" The aunt was quite enthusiastic.

"Is there really a house to rent?" Jiang Ning asked happily. He was no longer afraid.

"Yes, the resident of 502 has just moved out and the room is empty." The aunt took out a bunch of keys from her apron's pocket and opened the door of 202: "Don't stand at the stairs and talk, come in, come in."

As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Ning was so hot that he was not dying of heat. It looked like an oven. There was an old man sitting in such a hot room. The old man was old, with longevity spots on his face and wrinkles that could hold flies. On a hot day, the old man was wearing a cotton jacket and didn't respond at all when he saw people coming in.

Is this a living person? Not a wax figure or a sculpture? Jiang Ning had an impulse and wanted to walk over and touch it.

Before he could do anything, the aunt had already walked over and stretched out her hand to pat the old man's bald head: "Someone rents a house, where is the contract?"

Jiang Ning waited quietly. After waiting for at least three minutes, he saw the old man slowly lifting his arm and pointing towards the TV cabinet. The slow movement reminded him of an animation he had just watched - "Zootopia". This was the feeling of the group of sloths in it.

"Okay, okay, I understand." The aunt walked over and took out a stack of paper from the drawer.

That was a printed contract.

"Don't you go to the intermediary?" Jiang Ning asked kindly.

"Why do you want to go to the agency? Isn't that a waste of money? One thousand five months a month. If you go back, you will pay half a year as a deposit. However, some things are ahead. You can only live in this house by yourself, not sublet it, nor share it with others, and you can't bring others in casually. There are too many people these days, which is really uneasy. In addition, you can't keep pets. There are old and young people in this house, and it's not good to let dogs and cats bite it. Even if you don't bite people, there may be infectious diseases. By the way, do you have a cell phone? Take it out and I'll copy a phone number."

Jiang Ning was confused by this series of continuous cannons and handed over his cell phone stupidly. To be honest, he was indeed a little curious, what did he do if he copied the number?

"I'll call the landlord." The aunt explained with a smile, then asked again: "What is the power-on password?"

"2325" Jiang Ning answered twistedly.

The aunt ran to the window with her cell phone.

"Hey, Xiao Yuan, have you eaten? The weather is so hot, and I don't know how long it will last. I heard from the weather forecast that the typhoon is coming, and I don't know if the typhoon will log in this typhoon. Don't take a detour to Japan halfway like the previous typhoon. By the way, when it comes to Japan..." The aunt called, but she didn't forget to greet Jiang Ning: "I'll find a place to sit on it myself, I'll have to call this phone for a while!"
