My years as a fortune teller

The moment I didn't pay attention, a giant black dog rushed over.I didn't even pay attention to what kind of dog it was, it had already rushed in front of me, the hot air from its mouth sprayed on my face, its sharp teeth were only a punch away from my nose.

"Saiwolf is back!" A voice came from behind me, the giant dog's paw hit me, and immediately turned around and ran back to the yard.What a sensitive dog!It was able to stop in an instant, stop attacking and return to the yard.

I looked back and saw a hunchbacked old man wearing a blue Chinese tunic suit.However, it can be seen that the old man loves cleanliness and is very frugal. The clothes are washed a little white, and even some places are washed, but they are still worn on the body.The old man wore a pair of gray trousers on his legs and a pair of cloth shoes on his feet.

There is no hair left on the old man's head, and there are only a few eyebrows left.But a pair of eyes are piercing, and two cold lights burst out from the eyes, as if they want to see through everything!Although the nose is straight, there is a gap at the end of the nose.

I looked the old man up and down, and he looked me up and down.Then he said: "Young man, don't you know that you need to get the owner's permission before entering the door? If you barge in so recklessly, what if you are bitten by a dog? Even if you don't have a dog, you will be treated as a criminal if you enter like this." Thief."

As soon as I heard what the old man said, I hurriedly said: "Master, I came here because I saw a short-term rental house. I knocked on the door for a long time, but the door opened by itself. I thought the owner was at home, so I wanted to go in." Call the master to come out."

The old man walked over and looked at the door, and then muttered, "I don't lock the door when I go out, and I'm not afraid of thieves coming in." After that, he looked at me and said, "If you want to rent a house, come in with me!"

I was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed the old man's buttocks into the yard.Then I looked around sideways, I was afraid that the dog would rush over again.The old man seemed to see my thoughts, and said to me: "Don't be afraid, this house is mine, and the dog is also raised by me."

Speaking of which, the old man called Sailang again, and the black dog came out of nowhere.He threw himself on the old man affectionately, rubbing back and forth on the old man's legs and waist.The old man also stroked its head gently as if it were his own child.

The old man stroked the head of "Sailang" for a while, and then tied it to a big tree in the middle of the yard.Then he said to me: "This small courtyard is mine, as you have seen, there are only a dozen houses in total; the toilet is flush, and it is on the left side of the courtyard door; the kitchen is on the right side of the guest room, if you want to cook, you can You can use pots and pans, but you have to pay for water and gas. The electricity bill is calculated from the day you start living, and you only pay for a few days. Let’s go, I’ll take you to see the house.”

The old man didn't look at me as he said that, and took me directly to a row of houses on the left side of the small courtyard.Then he said to me: "The house on this side has been occupied by people. In the first two houses, there is still a young couple who come to work. The house on the right is basically used as a warehouse without cleaning. So if you want to live, choose a room here. The bedding inside is clean, and I asked the young couple to take it out for me the day before yesterday and wash it."

I took a look at the furnishings in the house, they were all pretty much the same, there was a bed with a bedding on it, and a long table with a TV on it.There is no choice for such a house, and I just pointed to a house.

The old man nodded and said: "80 yuan a day, pay as much as you want to live. If you have no objection, come and register with me." Then the old man led me to the main room facing the courtyard gate.

I guess this house is also lived by the old man himself. A portrait of Chairman Mao is hung on the wall directly opposite the door of the main room; under it is a table of eight immortals, with two grand master chairs on both sides; on the table is a set of tea sets, except for the pot. Apart from an old-fashioned enamel teapot, there was nothing else to call attention to on the table.

There is a room on the left after entering the door. The old man went in and took out a notebook, walked to the Eight Immortals desk, and said to me: "Show me your ID card, and help you register by the way. How long do you think you will stay?" This is very clear, it means that I need to pay the rent in advance.

I thought for a while and took out 1000 yuan, handed it to the old man and said, "This is [-] yuan, and I will put it with you first. If it is not enough, I will pay it again. If there is more, you can just return it to me. In addition, I want to ask, wash your face Do I have to buy the basin and footbasin myself? And can I partner here, and I will pay for it alone.”

The old man didn't raise his head, and said to me: "Turn right after exiting the alley. There are two grocery stores over there. You can buy them there. I don't provide the basins for washing your face and feet because they are afraid of being unhygienic. As for the partners About the matter, you can ask when the young couple comes. I am alone, old man, and I have to be taken care of by others. If you want to join me, prepare to be hungry!"

The old man said so, what else can I say.So after paying the money, I took the key and went to open the door.Although the inside of the house is very small, it is indeed clean and tidy, and there is no peculiar smell in the house, which also makes me very satisfied.

After I put down my luggage, I went out of the room and walked towards the grocery store that the old man said.I still need to buy some daily necessities. This is the only downside of living in such a house. You need to buy many things yourself.

In the grocery store, I chose washbasins, footbaths, etc., and then bought some other things. When I turned around and was about to leave, the boss suddenly stopped me.Looking back, it turned out that he hadn't given me change.

I turned around and went to get the money, and the boss asked me, "Young man, do you live in a house with a big black dog in that yard?" I don't know why the boss saw it right away, but I ordered it anyway. nod.

I didn't expect that after I nodded, some chatterers sitting at the door immediately started whispering to each other.I looked back at the people behind me, and they immediately stopped talking.Pretending to be nonchalant, what should I do.

What is this for, do you have anything to say?I thought that just when I turned around, the boss looked at me with the same eyes as them.The people here are all virtuous, looking at others with such eyes.

I frowned and asked the shop owner: "What's the matter, is the house I live in wrong? There is still something wrong with that house. If there is anything wrong, please point it out." Laughed a bit.

The store owner seemed to be meeting a very scared person, pushed the money back in front of me, hid behind and said: "No, no, I just asked casually. Go back, young man, it's okay, it's okay !"

Seeing the panicked expression on his face, I didn't believe it when he said it was nothing.But this meeting is not familiar, and it is not easy for me to ask him.So I took the money and walked outside.When I passed the people at the door, they all obviously hid outward.

Damn, I'm not the God of Plague, sir, so why are you avoiding me like this?If you let me know why this is, I must post it to them.It's really strange that things happen every year, but this year there are especially many.

I can't help it. I'm not familiar with the place here, so I can only talk about it later when I get familiar with it.Anyway, I lived here for ten days, and I came here to harass me once a day to see if they told me not to.Thinking of this, I secretly smiled and walked into the small yard.

This time "Saiwolf" didn't save it because it was locked there.I was walking towards my house with my toiletries in hand, when a young girl came out from the next room.The girl looked to be in her twenties and was wearing a work suit.

The girl smiled sweetly at me, turned around and walked into her room.The room she and I entered was separated by a room, and it seemed that the girl was the young couple that the old man said.By the way, let's go over and say something later to see if she knows what those people mean.She has lived here for such a long time, so she should know a lot about these people outside. If I went to ask her, she would know everything.Thinking of this, I made up my mind and prepared to put the things down and talk to her...
