"It's not a community, it's an alley, but I can't remember which family it is." Father Liu said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, just know the approximate location."

Jiang Hanyan asked Liu's father to lead him to the alley, not far from the rented house. Liu's father's main job was not to collect waste, but to pick up garbage, and only when it was empty would he walk around the streets to collect waste.

"It's here."

Father Liu pointed to the alley. It was seven o'clock in the evening, and the powerful music of the news network was playing. There were still many people sitting in the alley, chatting and shaking cattail fans. Most of them were grandparents, and some children were playing under the street lights. , There were clusters of mosquitoes flying overhead, buzzing.

Jiang Hanyan took a look. Most of the houses in this alley were Xinshikumen. They basically became rented houses in the 70s and 80s, but they were returned to the original landlords in the [-]s. However, many houses have no owners and have been used as public housing. Yes, a dozen families live in a Shikumen building, like a courtyard.

But there are a few houses that live alone. You can see the clothes drying on the window sills. The clothes drying on the window sills of the shared Shikumen are messy. The first floor, the second floor and the third floor are all full of clothes. , Refreshing and refreshing.

Being able to come up with 1 yuan in cash, it is obvious that the conditions of the family are very good. Jiang Hanyan looked at the few buildings where he lived alone, which should be these families.

However, there are two dark buildings with no lights on, and it is not known whether there are people living there.

Jiang Hanyan walked into the alley, followed by Liu Lingna's father and daughter, a few aunts who were chatting, and saw their eyes became alert.

"Master, aunts, let me inquire. Is there a house for rent near here? My house is being renovated, and I want to rent a house nearby, but I haven't been able to find a suitable one."

Jiang Hanyan spoke the authentic Shanghai dialect, and the elders and aunts immediately became friendly and enthusiastic, and began to speak in a hurry.

"There must be houses, how many do you want to rent?"

"Where do you live?"

"How many people are in your family?"

Jiang Hanyan casually pointed and talked about the community he saw when he passed by. The grandpas and aunts didn't doubt it at all. After all, Jiang Hanyan's clothes made him look like a rich man, so it was reasonable for him to live in a high-end community.

"There are three people in my family, but relatives often come to live here, so I have to rent a larger house, preferably a detached one. There are too many neighbors and it is very noisy. My mother is a light sleeper. If there is a little noise, she can't fall asleep. I would rather spend more I need to rent a better house, is there such a house in this alley?"

"There are not many single-family buildings, but there are some, but the rent is a bit expensive."

"It's okay if it's more expensive, the key is to live comfortably. You don't know, the bungalow my dad rented looked very beautiful, but after living in it, my mother didn't sleep well all day, and I don't know what happened upstairs. What happened, in the middle of the night, there were people walking, and the floor was kicking and kicking, so scared that we dared not close our eyes, and the door of the bedroom was clearly closed, and there was no wind, so the door opened by itself, oh yo ...the soul is frightened!"

Jiang Hanyan patted her chest with a frightened expression. She said it vividly, as if it was real, and all the elders and aunts believed it.

"It must be that there are dirty things in that house. Buying a house and renting a house is afraid of encountering such things. The intermediary who introduced the house to you has a bad conscience. This kind of house must be clearly explained in advance. If you are not healthy and live in it, It's going to kill someone."

"Nowadays, in order to make money, there are a few conscientious ones, hmph, sooner or later they will suffer retribution."

"Speaking of which, the He family also suffered from this loss. Within a year of living in it, all the family members had accidents, and their jobs were going to be ruined."

"Hush... Keep your voice down, don't let the He family hear it, they are doing it on their own, I told them back then, don't buy that house if there is a problem, they don't believe in evil, they want to be cheap, now it's all right, it's a big loss, right? .”

Jiang Hanyan listened quietly, and when the elders and aunts finished speaking, she pretended to ask curiously: "The He family also has the sound of kicking at night?"

"It's much more serious than the sound of kicking in your house. Your guests are just a little naughty. The one in He's house is vicious and murderous."

"When the old lady He first moved in, she was like a bandit woman. Now she can't get up in bed. According to her daughter-in-law, she can't wait until the Chinese New Year."

"Old man He is such a strong man, if he says he's gone, he'll be gone. How can he get cancer? Even if he got cancer, he can delay it for a year or two. Fortunately, he was alive and well when he was hospitalized, his face was full of red, and he lived in it for less than three months. The person disappeared, I went to see it, and it was as thin as a skeleton, it was a crime!"

"And Hongmei, it's been four months, so you can sit still, and the baby will be washed away after taking a bath, and now the bones of the body are not good."

"Xiao He doesn't seem to be able to do well in the company. There are accidents at home and a new leader. He is very dissatisfied with him. If he doesn't work well, he will be yellow."

Jiang Hanyan roughly understood that the He family bought a single house in this alley a year ago. After moving in, everything went wrong. He's father died of cancer, He's mother was bedridden, and his son had just been promoted. She was supposed to be on the rise, but her new boss didn't like her. It is very likely that her job will not be guaranteed. The daughter-in-law is four months pregnant, accidentally fell in the shower, lost the child, and is not healthy.

This family is regarded as a dark cloud, and it is downright unlucky.

"This family is so pitiful, how could it be so miserable!" Jiang Hanyan said deliberately.

The uncles and aunts all showed disdain, obviously the He family's popularity is not good.

"It's not pitiful, this family is not good." An aunt said.

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Jiang Hanyan asked which house the He family was, and said that she would rent a house to avoid lightning in the future. The uncles and aunts were very enthusiastic and pointed out to her that it was in the innermost alley.

"The innermost building is easy to find. The house is pretty good, but..."

The aunt didn't say the following words, but the meaning was very clear. The house is very good, but it must be able to bear it.

Jiang Hanyan thanked the elders and aunts, and walked into the alley. The He's house was really easy to find. The innermost building, the first and second floors, were all lit.

"Why do I feel gloomy?"

Liu Lingna rubbed her arms, she didn't know if it was because of her psychology, the closer she was to the He family, the colder she felt.

Father Liu suddenly patted his head and said in a low voice: "This is the house. I remembered that this house collected the money. At that time, the door was locked. I walked by. A young woman opened the door. It said there was a carton for sale, and the bundle of money was in the carton.”

"Then the He family deliberately found a scapegoat? They are too bad!"

Liu Lingna originally had some sympathy for the He family, but now she hopes that the He family will be even more unlucky.

Even if Liu's father couldn't remember it, Jiang Hanyan was sure it was the He family. The reason for looking for a scapegoat was obviously because of an accident in the family. If the family was prosperous and smooth, there was no need to do this.
