After more than half a month of silence, it was not that we didn't want to continue to do it, but that the sources of information were really limited, and we searched hard, but we couldn't find any really reliable ones. In the end, there was no other way. The news about this haunted house could only be based on some rumors. Moreover, not every city will have a haunted house, even if there is, we cannot personally investigate every rumor, so the matter of buying and selling houses has really reached a deadlock for a while.
Later, a real estate agent who suddenly came to our door finally opened up the situation for us. This man was called Yuan Zhen, with a greasy face and a shrewd face, and at first glance he felt that he was born to be a businessman. He said that he also occasionally heard people say that there were two people like us looking around for haunted houses. What he does is also the work of a real estate investment consultant. He travels around the country all the year round, and has a lot of contacts and news networks in his hands, so let's see if there is any opportunity for cooperation. He introduced the house to us, and gave him a part of the commission after the completion of the project, which is also a win-win situation.
Qin Yiheng and I simply summed up, this is really sleepy, someone sent a pillow, and immediately reached a verbal agreement with Yuan Zhen, and made an appointment with him to help us collect information about the relevant houses and feed back relatively valuable news when he went to any city in the future Give it to us, and we will give him a percentage of the transaction price after the transaction is completed.
Yuan Zhen was really talented, and on the fourth day after the agreement was reached, he called us and introduced us to a house. Not to mention high efficiency, he also helped us inquire about the details of the house in advance.
This house is in an old-fashioned residential building with only four floors and is quite dilapidated. It is estimated to be a batch of buildings from the 1970s.
The profit of the house is relatively small, but it is also a very special house. Because most of the haunted houses are people who died in them, but this house is different, a pair of cats died.
This family used to be a couple of retired old man and old lady. The old couple likes cats very much. After retiring, they raised a pair of cats, which can be regarded as finding a companion for themselves.
One night, two cats were playing on the balcony. For some reason, the old couple locked the two cats on the balcony and prevented them from entering the house. It rained heavily that night, and the balconies of the old-fashioned buildings were not sealed, so the cats still got wet more or less. The next day, both cats died.
It was spring, but it was not cold, and the two cats died strangely. However, neither of the old couple showed any sadness, and threw away the cat's body indifferently, which formed a big contrast with their previous love cat.
The neighbors are very strange, but the old couple are unwilling to say a word, and within a few days, the old man and the old lady moved away strangely. At first, the neighbors thought they were taken away by their children, but they didn't know that the two old people left by themselves until the old man's children came to the door. But what is surprising is that none of the money and belongings in the house have been moved, and the two of them seem to have disappeared out of thin air. The sons and daughters started relationships and posted notices of missing persons, but there was no news after searching for a long time.
After a year, the children had given up and rented out the house. However, when the tenant moved in, he could hear strange movements on the balcony every night. When I went to check, I didn't see anything. Over time, no one dared to rent any more. Another half a year later, there was a courageous college student who had just graduated and moved in for cheap. Unexpectedly, a week later, the college student bizarrely chose to commit suicide by jumping off a building. In this way, this house has completely become a haunted house, and no one dares to care about it anymore. What I am talking about this time is the matter of this old-fashioned residential building.
To be honest, I am not very interested in this kind of very old house, because even if it is demolished and built a new one, it will take a while. But Qin Yiheng thinks this has great potential for appreciation, because the location is relatively good.
We contacted the old man's daughter and briefly said that he was interested in the house. The daughter hurriedly took out the key and wanted to show us the house, she seemed to want to make a move in a hurry.
When we went, the neighbors saw that we wanted to see the house, and many of them were watching the excitement from a distance, discussing and pointing from time to time. I was a little confused, but Qin Yiheng felt that there was no need to make a fuss. We made money that ordinary people dare not make.
The old man's daughter opened the door for us and simply took us around the house. The old-fashioned furniture left by the old man and the old lady when they lived there are basically still there, but a lot of dust has fallen. The house is not big, about 40 square meters, and there are many messy tables and chairs, making it very crowded.
After a general look, I chatted with the old man's daughter about the price. Qin Yiheng continued to check the house carefully according to the division of labor we agreed on earlier. I kept the price down, and the old man's daughter seemed a little reluctant. However, she might be anxiously waiting for the money, so she hesitated and finally agreed. When the price was negotiated on my side, Qin Yiheng had almost finished reading it, and nodded to me to indicate that the deal could be made. We negotiated with the old man's daughter and signed the contract that afternoon. After saying goodbye to the old man's daughter, when going out, Qin Yiheng took out a turtle shell from his bag and asked me to touch it, it was wet. I don't know what kind of medicine he sold in the gourd, because it was sunny at that time, and it didn't look like it was going to rain. Besides, we were in a northern city, and the air was relatively dry. Qin Yiheng said that he saw that there was indeed something in the house, but it was not evil. Looking at the current situation, it seemed that there was a great grievance, but it was not intended to harm anyone. But in this case, the college student who jumped off the building died very strangely.
I asked if the thing in the house was the college student? Qin Yiheng shook his head and said that he couldn't tell either, this one wasn't very fierce, so it looked vague and it was not easy to distinguish the specifics.
Although it is not clear what is in the house now, according to Qin Yiheng's meaning, it should be harmless. He said that this method of using the shell of a turtle to determine good or bad luck is called tortoise divination. He only knows superficially, but a real master can even calculate the fate of the country. It is said that the drops of water on it are the tears of those things, and the tears on the turtle shell indicate that the things in the house have suffered great grievances. However, these can only be hearsay. It is impossible for us to understand what these drops of water are.
After lunch, we took a rest and signed the contract in the afternoon. After signing the contract, we took the key and went to the room again. Before Qin Yiheng went to sign the contract, he bought a lot of glutinous rice paper. We pasted the glutinous rice paper on the doors and windows, and then he took me to hang out.
He explained that he did this to see if those things would come out. If it just stayed in the house, there would be no danger; but if it could come in and out freely, the matter would be more complicated. We walked around until about 5pm, and we headed back.
Qin Yiheng checked it again and said that the thing hadn't gone out. Hearing him say that, even though I knew something was in the same room as me, and maybe it was standing right in front of me and staring straight at me, I was relieved. Because he said that the current situation is very optimistic and it is easy to deal with. It is almost enough to go back to rest and find an auspicious day to come and clean it up. That thing would naturally make room for the newcomers. His tone is very relaxed, and I am very happy. This money is much easier to earn than the previous ones.
After four or five days, Qin Yiheng chose a day and asked me to bring a lot of cleaning tools to prepare for a big cleaning. I originally planned to call a part-time worker, but he said that the house must be cleaned by the owner to be useful. No way, we can only do it ourselves. Opening the door, we moved all the tattered furniture into the corridor, and we were going to call the workers to move downstairs later.
Seeing that we clean up a haunted house with such great fanfare, there are actually kind neighbors who remind us that the house is not clean. I smiled and said nothing, why would I buy it if my heart is clean. After moving the furniture, Qin Yiheng took out a big bucket to fill the rice with water, and we used a broom dipped in the rice water to sweep the floor. After sweeping a few times, Qin Yiheng suddenly froze and frowned a few times. Seeing his expression, my heart beat immediately.
Qin Yiheng put down the broom, ran to the window to look carefully, and then turned around and told me, damn, something else came into the house. Fortunately, it was broad daylight, otherwise I would have peed my pants in fright if he had been so startled. He pulled me out of the house and kept babbling. The previous thing didn't go out, but something new came in from the outside, we can't clean it today, especially on auspicious days, don't mess with that thing. Although today is relatively prosperous, if such a prosperous day is entangled, things will become big.
Hearing what he said, I was also very flustered. I wondered if it was my bad luck, anyway, every time something happened at a critical moment.
We didn't dare to clean up our things, so we went back to the hotel to discuss countermeasures. Qin Yiheng thought about it for a long time, and told me that now that the contract has been signed no matter what, there is no need to hide from this matter, and he can only settle it bravely.
I agreed, anyway, I was just helping him, and I think no matter how fierce this house is, it can't be as fierce as the villa with a lot of money.
At noon the next day, I was dragged back to the house by Qin Yiheng before I even had time to eat. He carried the tortoise shell around the house for a long time, and then bit his lip against the tortoise shell.
I walked over and touched the turtle shell with my hand. This time it was not wet at all. I was quite happy, thinking that the thing had gone. Who knew that he became anxious all of a sudden and yelled at me, who the hell let you touch it. His sudden sound startled me. I was quite aggrieved, he was the one who asked me to touch it on his own initiative that day, so why can't I touch it today.
Qin Yiheng didn't explain to me, he looked at me with a sad face for a long time, and asked me to go to the shroud shop immediately to buy some joss paper money or something. I didn't dare to delay, but I kept thinking to myself on the way to the shroud shop, did I get into trouble
