Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 192 The Street of Hundred Ghosts

Of course, there is no purpose for Xia Feng to ask these questions. To put it bluntly, it is purely chatting. We will be neighbors in the future. It is a good thing to have some understanding, but he has not had the leisure time to meddle in other people's family affairs.

"By the way, Ergou, how long has your house been empty?"

"It's been almost a year that no one has rented it."

"I think your house is pretty good. Although the location is not good, it's not 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?"

Ergou wiped his runny nose.

"Old Xia, you didn't live in Guilt Street before, did you?"

"It's really not, I just came here a few days ago. Wait, don't call me Lao Xia!"

Er Gou snatched the football from Xia Feng's hands and patted it casually on the ground a few times.

"My mother didn't tell me why the asking price is so high, but I know that even if the price is lowered, no one will rent it. Even if someone rents it, they will leave soon. With so much money, the tenants will not just leave easily.”

"kindness?"

Hearing this, Xia Feng immediately became vigilant, Ergou's words are a bit too informative.

"Ergou, what do you mean by that?"

"That's what it means on the surface. Although you seem very happy now, I guess you will leave after a while."

Xia Feng swallowed his saliva and asked a probing question.

"That. Ergou, do you mean that there is something wrong with your house? Has someone died?"

This is the first possibility that Xia Feng thought of. People who can rent this kind of house are usually doing business. Although he does not believe in ghosts and gods, there are some things in the world that are really unclear. If this is the case, it will really lead to No matter how nice the house is, no one cares about it.

Ergou shook his head.

"No, my house is fine."

"Oh? What's the problem?"

"There is a problem with this street, to be precise, it is the section at the end of the street."

Er Gou pointed at the first fork in the far side of the street, and probably out of this area.

Xia Feng's current location is basically at the end of the street, and the distance from the two dogs is about [-] meters away, which means that the [-]-meter street is the "problem" in his mouth.

Indeed, it’s okay not to mention it, but Xia Feng immediately noticed some abnormalities. There are obviously fewer shops in this section of the street, not only shops, but also few residents. Nearly more than half of the houses are empty.

"That. Ergou, tell me, what's wrong with this street?"

Ergou has a mysterious face.

"Old Xia, do you know what the locals call our street?"

"what?"

"They call it Street of Hundred Ghosts."

"Huh? Why?"

Er Gou kicked the football out of his hand, and the football rolled to a stop in the middle of the empty road, which did not affect the traffic at all, because even in the daytime, the street was still deserted.

Xia Feng's eyes followed the football to the distance. At this moment, Ergou's voice came from his ears.

"Because, this street is haunted at night, ah!"

After saying this, Er Gou suddenly yelled in his ear, scaring Xia Feng into a shiver.

"Damn, you kid is playing me!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Er Gou spread his legs, smiled cheaply and ran away.

To be tricked by a child, the key is that I still ask him seriously, why?It's really embarrassing to think about it.

Ergou's house is next to Xia Feng's headquarters, at this time the front door was open, and Xia Feng walked in without knocking on the door.

There was no one in the front shop, Xia Feng went to the back yard and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Landlady!"

"Who is it!"

A rough female voice immediately came from the second floor behind the yard, Ergou his mother poked her head out from the balcony, saw Xia Feng in the yard, and immediately said.

"Why, who let you into my house."

"They are all neighbors. I came in when your door was open."

The charter woman stood on the second floor and gave Xia Feng a serious look.

"What's the matter with you? Want to check out? Impossible. It's clearly written in the contract. Now you want to refund me at most one-tenth of your rent."

"No, no, I won't check out, I'll discuss something with you, you come down first."

After hearing that Xia Feng didn't check out, her attitude became kind.

"Wait, I'm coming down."

Afterwards, Xia Feng explained his purpose to her, and wanted to ask her if she had any temporarily unused furniture that she could borrow or rent, such as tables, chairs, sofas and coffee tables, as long as he could use it.

"That's it, charter Miss Li, do you have one at your house?"

"Yes, you come with me."

There was a warehouse-like house on the side of the yard. When Xia Feng opened the door, he found a lot of sundries inside, including some furniture.

"These are left by the previous tenants. I have already dealt with the old ones. I feel that they are still usable. You can move and use them if you need them. You don't need to pay, just return them to me when you leave. Just where it is."

"Sister Li, thank you so much, I will move with my elder brother in a while."

Although these furniture are not fashionable and exquisite, they are still no problem to use. This way you can save a lot of money. Besides being happy, Xia Feng's address for the charterer has changed from "Sister Li" to "Sister Li". Miss Li.

Miss Li waved her hand.

"No thanks, the neighbors take care of each other, by the way, I haven't asked what kind of business you plan to do yet."

This question really stopped Xia Feng from asking. After thinking about it, he could only answer.

"Our business may be very complicated, involving a wide range of things."

Sister Li showed a serious expression, like a head teacher asking the students if they went to the Internet cafe.

"What you are going to do is not illegal."

"This"

Illegal or not, that is the question.

Sister Li suddenly laughed.

"Forget it, I'm teasing you. You don't dare to do illegal things like this. Do it well. As long as you can live for one year, I will lower the rent for you next year."

"Well, thank you."

Before leaving, Xia Feng suddenly remembered what Ergou said just now.

"By the way, Sister Li, why does this street look so deserted? I don't think there are many houses nearby."

Miss Li was stunned for a moment.

"Your name is Xia Feng, right? You didn't live in Guilt Street before, did you?"

How come these words seem familiar.

Xia Feng nodded.

"I'm not really familiar with the guilt block."

"Okay, then let me tell you, do you know what the people who live nearby call our street? They call it Hundred Ghosts Street."

Xia Feng immediately interrupted Sister Li's words.

"Wait, you said it's called Hundred Ghost Street, maybe it's because this street is haunted at night?"

"Look, don't you know, why are you asking me?"

Xia Feng's expression was complicated, as if he had swallowed a mouse alive.

"I just found out, I thought it was fake."

Sister Li had a mysterious face, that expression was carved out of the same mold as Ergou's expression just now.

"No, no, it's not fake, it's true, and let me remind you in advance that the people living on this street are very strange, of course, if you are not strange, you dare not live on this street, you say right."

"Yes, yes, it makes sense."

There is nothing wrong with what Sister Li said, but Xia Feng always felt it was weird, as if she was saying something.

No normal person living on this street is either not afraid of ghosts and gods, or his head was kicked 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 her previous tenants.
