【002】 Haunted
All the strange things started with the fact that I rented the three-bedroom apartment in high school. At that time, I had just graduated from high school. My best friend Taylon and I found out early that there was no air conditioner in the university dormitory and we didn't want to live in the school, so we just received the admission notice, and we were impatient to look for a house near the university.
"Hey, Ah Hui, hurry up and go to Jiangbei. I heard that there is a room that is super cheap, only 300 yuan a month..."
The phone call was from Tayron. I looked at the time in a daze. It was already twelve o'clock noon. I got up and glanced around. They all had all been exposed. The empty house was only me. The third year of high school is finally over. After the college entrance examination, some of my brothers worked and played online games all day long and still lived together, but after receiving the admission notice, everyone went home one after another. I will also go back to my hometown to stay for two months tomorrow, and then come back to college. After quitting the small rented house next to the high school, and then change to the big rented house next to the university, I couldn't help but sigh: Life is just a struggle.
I rubbed my temples and drank farewell wine with the best friends in high school yesterday. I still have a headache now. I breathed out, got up and washed up, picked up some clothes, and went out to see the so-called pretty house.
I rushed to the entrance of Bei'an Community, picked up my cell phone and called Miss Li's phone. I quickly answered the phone opposite. The voice sounded like a woman in her thirties. The opposite asked: "Hey, hello? Are you renting a house?"
"Well, yes, I'm right at the entrance of your community, let's discuss it negotiable."
"OK."
Soon Ms. Li arrived at the entrance of the community. Ms. Li was wearing a black professional outfit. Although she was in her thirties, she still looked charming, with a bulge in front and a tilted back. At least for me, a single young man who has been single for eighteen years, it is really amazing.
"Hello, are you Sister Li? We just went on the phone." Of course, I must not look like a pig in front of Miss Li. I smiled and stretched out my hand and said, "My name is Chen Hui, I want to come and see the house."
"Well, okay, please come with me." Although Miss Li looked very enthusiastic on the surface, she didn't seem to care too much about me. She took me inside. The North Bank community is very large and is a very new community. Although it is the edge of the north of the Yangtze River, the housing prices are still very high.
"Sister Li, how many bedrooms does your house have? Is there an air conditioner? The most important thing is that your rent..." I looked at the huge houses around me and suddenly thought, how could this house be worth only 200 yuan per month? Could it be that Taylon's grandson played with me?
However, Miss Li's subsequent words dispelled my worries.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, the house is 106 square meters, three-bedroom apartments, fine decoration, transparent between north and south, warm in winter and cool in summer, self-paid water and electricity, and self-paid network fees, all are charged at the market price, the rent is 300 per month, and three deposits are paid." Ms. Li replied with a professional smile on her face.
My heart blew. Although I had just graduated from high school, I didn't believe that there was any good thing about pie falling from the sky. I looked at Ms. Li and asked, "Sister Li, is there any problem with this house? I hope you can tell me the truth so that I can be a little mentally prepared. We are poor students. If you don't tell me what's going on, it's not good that you will feel unhappy afterwards. We put everything on the surface." I wondered if I had encountered a liar and rented someone else's house to expire and then sublease it, but Ms. Li's next words relieved me.
At that time, Miss Li looked embarrassed and said as if she had made up her mind, "Little brother, I won't hide it from you. In fact, this room is haunted."
"Haunted?" I was delighted, cough cough, of course, I am not a psychopath. Do you know that ghosts may exist? I thought at that time, I thought that the people who live were just scared themselves, thinking that there were ghosts inside, so they couldn't live. Many people are superstitious and think there were ghosts, so it was normal for the housing prices to be cheap.
"Mr. Chen, otherwise we will talk about the price?" Miss Li seemed to be afraid that I would not rent it anymore when she saw me. I smiled and said, "It's okay, money is a trivial matter. Lead the way. I go to see the house and sign the contract if I am satisfied."
"I'd better tell you the reason for the haunting first." Miss Li looked at me, and I thought about it and felt that it was just a superstition. Just listen to the story and said, "Tell me, it's okay."
It turned out that the owner of the house was originally a couple of 33 and 4 years old. They didn't know what to do. They had a twelve-year-old daughter, but their daughter died at home half a year ago. It was strange that the girl strangled herself to death. The incident seemed to be a big deal at that time. I have also heard of it. The newspapers reported it at that time. Then the couple had to move for a very low price.
Miss Li is a businessman and lacks an employee dormitory. She originally felt nothing, but she was just a dead person. But after the employees moved in, ten employees dreamed of playing hide-and-seek with a little girl in this room every night. They all had the same dream every night. After reacting to Ms. Li, Ms. Li took it seriously, transferred the employee and then started renting the house. The price was extremely low, but no one dared to live there. Even if one or two brave people moved in, they had to move out within two days. Now they have lowered the rent and rented it to college students, hoping that young people can suppress the dirty things.
This is all Miss Li said to me. After hearing this, I felt a little hungry. How could I not be afraid? Although I believe there are no ghosts in the world, I can’t explain some things clearly. I felt a little relieved at that time, but I thought of the rent for only 300 yuan a month, which is very close to the university I went to. After passing this village, I didn’t have this store. After thinking about it, I said, “Then I’ll go and check the house first before making a decision.”
Miss Li didn't say anything else. In fact, she could tell me the truth. I already felt that this person was good. If ordinary people wanted to rent it out, who would tell me?
The house is in the middle of the community. What’s amazing is that the house is actually four buildings, the fourth floor, the fourth room, the fourth floor, the 4th room, the day, it’s really unlucky. Miss Li opened the house and I followed her in and saw it. It’s worth it, even if it’s really haunted, it’s worth it. LCD TV, large guest table, two bedrooms, computers, kitchen and even vegetable oil. It can be said that it’s because it has everything, and the decoration is also fine decoration. These things can be used, only 300 per month.
"Sister Li, I rented this house, sign the contract immediately!" I decided to rent it immediately. Miss Li also brought the contract and soon signed the contract with me. She paid a deposit of 200 yuan first, and once the rent was moved in, she was all over again. Before leaving, when I sent Miss Li out, Miss Li whispered to me: "Little brother, I suggest you live in the room by the window."
“Because the scenery is good?”
"No, when that thing comes out, you'll jump off the building and run away. This is the fourth floor. If you have good luck, you won't die."
"Haha, you are so humorous." I laughed dryly, watched Miss Li leave, tidy up her emotions, and cleaned the house. In fact, there was nothing to clean, it was actually very clean and tidy. I didn't plan to go back to the dormitory of a high school, and I didn't have much luggage. I will go back to my hometown tomorrow. I will stay here for one night today and go home, and then go to a wonderful university.
But I still need to clean up, so I sorted out some messy things, then turned on the TV, turned on the air conditioner, and lay on the sofa to watch TV.
Time passed quickly, and it was getting dark in a blink of an eye. When I saw the time, it was already five o'clock, so I had to get some food. Fortunately, there seemed to be a lot of dishes in the refrigerator. I walked over, opened the refrigerator and looked in. I trembled all over. There was a tattered doll inside, which was still wearing a red dress.
I swallowed and thought hard in my heart. There was no ghost. It must be that Miss Li deliberately wanted to scare me and put this thing on her. I picked up the doll with my right hand with my trembling hands. When I wanted to throw it away, suddenly the voice of a little girl came from behind me.
"Uncle, what are you doing with my doll?"
"Mom!" I looked back and saw a girl who looked four or five years old standing in front of me, but there must be something wrong with this thing. She was purple all over, no pupils in her eyes, only eyelids, and was wearing a red dress.
"Alchemy, this is an illusion, this must be an illusion!" I kept reciting to myself, looking at this little girl, the little girl came over and looked at me curiously and asked, "Can you see me? Sure enough, can you see me, uncle, can you do me a favor?"
"Help? What's the point?" I asked strangely.
"Help me take revenge." The little girl looked at me. When I heard her words, I almost fainted by her. Didn't she admit that she was a ghost? I quickly said, "Grandma, I'm not strong, not handsome, nor a rich second-generation official second-generation coal second-generation. I'm just a little silk, it's useless to find me."
"Just say you should help or not!" The little girl seemed a little angry.
The surrounding temperature suddenly turned on 16 degrees Celsius, and the brush suddenly dropped. When I saw that the ghost aunt was angry, I dared to say anything, so I quickly changed my words and said, "Help, I must help, how do you think you can help?"
