Xia Qiao discovered that Brother Wen was a very straightforward person.
It's just a little too blunt. He said "know the way" one second, and walked to the door the next second when he smelled it.
"Wait, wait!" Xia Qiao hurriedly ran to the bedroom, changed into a hooded sweater, and brought a large one to Wen Shi: "It's cooling down today, I just went to water the flowers in the yard, and still It's very cold, you should wear this."
He glanced at the smell and said, "No need."
He has fair skin and wears a light gray short-sleeved T-shirt. He likes to roll up his right sleeve to his shoulders when he has nothing to do, and the lines of his exposed arms are very beautiful.
Handsome is handsome, but...
"Are you really not cold?" Xia Qiao asked seriously.
"It's not cold, I'm hot." Wen Shi squeezed the empty Coke can in his hand and threw it into the trash can. He went to the refrigerator to find a box of frozen milk, opened it and asked, "Are you going to leave?"
"… "
It is obvious that it is very dry.
"Let's go." Xia Qiao threw his clothes on the sofa, grabbed his phone and went out.
The weather was not very good, it was overcast, black clouds had rolled in the distance, and it was about to rain.
Wen Shi narrowed his eyes and glanced over there: "How long will it take to walk there?"
"Let's go?" Xia Qiao was startled, and quickly raised his mobile phone and said, "No, I called a car, and the driver is already here."
Another point of knowledge beyond the scope. When you smell it, it doesn't show on your face, pretending to accept it well.
Xia Qiao was very self-conscious, and provided him with the screen of his mobile phone—
When I smelled it, I saw a map on it, and a small car moved quickly along the map. As a result, it just moved a few times, and then stopped.
When I smelled it, I was wondering, a message popped up on the screen, the order has ended.
Xia Qiao wanted to let this uncle feel the convenience of modern society, but he didn't expect such an event.
When he smelled it, he pointed to the prompt and moved his lips: "What do you mean?"
Xia Qiao: "... the meaning of letting our pigeons go."
"This driver is too unremarkable! If you say cancel, cancel." Xia Qiao muttered, "Brother Wen, wait a minute, I'll call another one."
Who would have thought that this driver was faster and flew directly after receiving the order.
Xia Qiao: "???"
He ordered four cars in a row, all four were canceled, and then he was unable to order a new car.
"It's poisonous." Xia Qiao was confused, holding the phone, "What are you doing today, shouldn't you go out?"
Seeing that the dark clouds were getting closer and closer, and some raindrops began to leak, their order was finally accepted.
This time the driver didn't cancel again, and it wasn't too far away. Soon, the car stopped at the gate of Minghua Mansion.
He threw the empty milk carton into the trash when he smelled it, and got into the back seat of the car.
The driver was a middle-aged woman with a round face, a very kind appearance, and a mole on her cheek. She glanced at Wen Shi in the rearview mirror, and joked, "Huh, being young means having a good physique. Are you wearing short sleeves today?"
He didn't have a good temper when he smelled it, and he didn't like to talk to strangers. When he met such a familiar person, he just heard it.
Xia Qiao knew his character and was afraid of the cold. Just as he was about to pick up the driver, he heard the answer: "It's not cold."
Xia Qiao was a little surprised immediately.
"What are you doing?" Wen Shi Yuguang caught a glimpse of Xia Qiao's silly appearance.
"No." Xia Qiao retracted his round eyes and whispered, "It's just a bit of a surprise, I thought you would ignore them."
Wen Shi glanced at him, and after a while replied, "Mian Shan."
When the round-faced driver heard this, he immediately laughed: "Do you mean me? I have a popular face, and many people say it looks familiar."
When she smelled dark raindrops on her gray T-shirt, she saw it and asked, "Are you two brothers? Don't you bring an umbrella when you go out when it's raining? The rain will definitely get heavier."
Xia Qiao said aggrievedly: "We didn't get off when we came out."
"Wait out so early?"
"Hey, don't mention it. I was unlucky today, I ordered four cars, and all four were cancelled." Xia Qiao complained.
"Oh." The driver understood, "It's really not that you are unlucky, and everyone doesn't want to run over there these days."
"Why?"
"Evil door."
When Wen Shi was looking out the window, when he heard this, he turned his eyes back.
"Evil Sect? What do you mean?" Xia Qiao asked.
"Have you not watched the local forum recently?"
When he heard it, he looked at Xia Qiao, and Xia Qiao looked ashamed: "Uh... I don't see much."
The driver laughed and said, "Yes, I don't see much local news. We just listen to the radio because we are too bored to drive, so we know more."
She didn't sell anything, and while there was nothing on the road, she told Wen Shi and the others: "There is a must-pass road to go to Xiping Garden, called Wangquan Road. There used to be developers from other places, look at the lot over there. Not bad, I want to get a wealthy area in the city called Wangquan Mansion."
"Oh, I know. I saw it when I passed by. The house is very beautiful, but no one lives there. It's quite similar to our name, Huafu." Xia Qiao said.
"That's different." The driver said with a smile, "Minghua Mansion is a matter of surrounding planning. No one wants to live in Wangquan Mansion. Just ask the local elders in Ningzhou, and they all say that the house there is not good."
"I've heard of it." Xia Qiao seemed to understand.
He was a little puzzled when he smelled it: "Why not?"
Before Xia Qiao could speak, the driver laughed: "The handsome guy is not a local, right? In our Ningzhou dialect, Wang and Wang are both pronounced the same as Huang."
Wang and Huang
Isn't that Wangquan Road
When smelling: "… "
He was silent for a moment and said, "The person who takes the name is a treasure."
The driver laughed and said, "There are more treasures. The location there is very good, and there is a subway station nearby. Some investors don't believe in evil, and they insist on making it lively there. They have built pedestrian streets, bungalow shops, There are quite a lot of tricks, but later they were all over because the business was too bad. Then two years ago, there was another big mistake, and a comprehensive shopping mall was built there, with food, drink, and movie theaters. Guess what it is called ?"
When smelling: "What?"
Driver: "Wangquan Ancient City."
When smelling: "… "
Treasure-level, quite grand.
"Was it lively afterwards?" he asked.
"No." The driver sighed, "On and off, the construction was not officially completed and opened until the beginning of this year. At first, there were people who joined in the fun, but then there were fewer. There is a very evil nature, and there are always people who say that they have seen something they shouldn't see. "
"Then the mall hasn't closed yet?" Xia Qiao asked.
"No, the rent there is low, and things are sold cheaply. There are some handicraft shops that are hard to find now, and people still go there."
"Oh."
"It doesn't seem like it sounds like that, but to be honest, it's a bit embarrassing to drive over there." The driver said, "Yesterday, someone in our WeChat group was scared over there, and it was quite mysterious, So today everyone is reluctant to run there."
"No wonder." Xia Qiao thought about it and said, "Then you are quite brave."
The driver said helplessly: "Hey, I'm used to it. My family lives near there, and I come and go all day. I can't stop working because of this."

"No parking is allowed inside, I'll let you down here." The round-faced driver stopped at the intersection, watched the rain outside, and handed Wen Shi an umbrella: "It's a short walk, you guys Take the umbrella."
Xia Qiao watched the news silently: "Well, why is this so embarrassing? We'll be there after a quick run."
"Take it." The driver said with a smile, "Don't be embarrassed, I have a lot of umbrellas."
"It's really not necessary." Xia Qiao was still embarrassed to take things.
He was pushing and refusing, when a slender, white hand stretched out and took the umbrella calmly.
"Thank you." Wen Shi said.
"Hey, that's right!" The driver laughed.
Wen Shi got out of the car first, opened his umbrella, and urged, "Don't linger."
Xia Qiao then hurriedly followed.
It was raining heavily and the ground was foggy. The car turned a corner and quickly disappeared into the fog.
Wen Shi retracted his gaze and asked Xia Qiao, "Where is Xiping Garden?"
Xia Qiao glanced at the map on the mobile phone, and said on the right before: "Go in this way, the one with the antique face is the one."
This street continues the style of Wangquan Road, almost all of which are small western-style buildings. Xie Wen's Xiping Garden is very special inside and can be recognized at a glance.
Before entering the door, Xia Qiao asked tentatively, "Brother Wen, see him later, what are you going to say?"
Is it possible to say "when will you pay to rent our house"
It seemed a bit reckless and a bit embarrassing.
But instead of saying this, what should I say? They and Xie Wen had only been in the cage together, saying that they were not familiar enough, but they were not familiar enough.
When Xia Qiao didn't feel relieved to smell it, he always felt that it was not impossible for him to say "I'm hungry" when he opened his mouth.
How scary.
Hearing that, he said, "I don't think so, let's talk about it."
Xia Qiao panicked.
The layout of Xiping Garden is like an antique shop, but there are only dolls in the store, Western-style, Chinese-style, shadow puppets, puppets, pottery figures, and several cabinets are neatly sized.
A small middle-aged man with a bun was sitting at the counter dozing off, with a happy face, and he couldn't tell whether it was an uncle or an aunt.
There were also two pretty girls sitting on the side chatting while nibbling on melon seeds.
When Wen Shi entered the door, the two girls turned their faces together and said in unison, "Hey, a living person."
Xia Qiao was so frightened that he backed out on the spot, and the two girls laughed again.
"Old Mao, there are guests." The two girls called out.
The middle-aged man with a bun suddenly woke up and looked over with a yawn. When he saw Wen Shi, he was slightly stunned.
Wen Shi put away the umbrella, threw the water outside the door, and said, "Is this Xie Wen's shop?"
Only then did Lao Mao return to his senses, nodded and said, "Ah, yes, it's his shop."
"What about others?" Wen Shi scanned around.
"Others... are not there." Lao Mao stammered.
Wen Shi stared at him: "Then where is he?"
"Something's wrong," said the old man.
Wen Shi frowned: "He told me the day before yesterday that there was something going on in the store, and he hurried back to sit in town."
Lao Mao: "… "
Lao Mao: "He... went outside the town."
At first glance, this person is not material for lying. Every time he says a word, his mung bean-like eyes always aim at the small door in the corner.
Blind people can see it.
When smelling, he put the umbrella on the shelf at the door, raised his foot and walked towards the small door.
"Hey, that's the bathroom over there." Lao Mao said hurriedly.
"Oh, borrow it, thank you." Wen Shi said.
As soon as he walked to the door, he heard a muffled coughing sound inside, and the next second, the door opened from the inside, revealing Xie Wen's pale face.
This is obviously not a bathroom, it should be a back room where you can rest. When I smelled it, I could vaguely smell the faint fragrance inside, and something was cooked, which was very hot.
Xie Wen came out and closed the door with his back.
He seemed a little cold, nestled in such a hot room, and he was meticulously dressed in long-sleeved trousers.
"Why did you find someone so fierce?" Xie Wen coughed a few more times and asked.
"Then why are you hiding?" Wen Shi glanced at the stumbling old Mao, frowned and wondered, "I didn't come to ask for a debt."
"I didn't hide from you, it's just that I don't want to come out because it's too cold for the past two days, so I'll tell them that no one asks." Xie Wen turned his head and coughed a few times.
When he smelled it, he realized that he was wearing gloves on both hands, the kind of thin black silk that was wrapped all the way to his wrists. Only during the movement could he see a little of the skin between his wrists, which made the gloves even paler in comparison.
"I'm not a fortune teller either, so I didn't know you would come." Xie Wen leaned against the door frame and asked, "What's the matter with you coming to the store?"
Maybe it's because of the proximity, even if I didn't close my eyes and didn't see the spirit. When he smelled it, he could still feel the suffocating aura surging around him.
With a cold face, he quickly licked the corner of his lips, turned to Xiaqiao, raised his chin and said, "He's here to buy a doll."
Xia Qiao: "???"
I…
Xia Qiao gave a blank face, nodded and said, "Ang, I want to buy a doll."
"By the way, do you still rent your house?" Wen Shi said again, "If we don't rent it, we'll put up a new one."
Xie Wen lowered his eyes and wondered what he was thinking. He was silent for a second before nodding and said: "Rent, Saturday, the day after tomorrow. Can you make time the day after tomorrow?"
When I smell it, it's just two days' effort, which is pretty fast. So he turned to look at Xia Qiao.
Xia Qiao said in her heart that she came to ask me again at this time, as if I could call the shots. He bit his head and said, "Well, there is time."
When he smelled it, he licked the corner of his lips again, feeling that he was probably out of his mind before running this trip.
He originally meant to discuss, and came to the full Manchu and Han table in front of him. Who would have thought that there were so many people in the store that it would be inconvenient for him to speak.
So he squeezed his phalanx, turned around and said, "That's it, let's go."
Xia Qiao took advantage of the opportunity to pick up the umbrella on the shelf, and then remembered... What about buying a doll? Can you respect the excuse.
Just as he was about to leave, the twin girls suddenly pointed to the umbrella and said, "Where did this come from?"
"Oh." Xia Qiao said, "Someone gave it, what's wrong?"
One of the girls said: "There has been a rumor here before."
Xia Qiao: "What rumor?"
"It is said that when you come here on a rainy day, you will meet a very strange driver with a round face and a very enthusiastic. Then, when you get off the bus, you will always give someone an umbrella."
The little girl's voice was soft, and Xia Qiao was horrified.
"and then?"
"If you don't have an umbrella, you will be fine if you catch a cold for two days." The little girl said, "If you have an umbrella... I will go to see her."
Xia Qiao: "..."
When Wen Shi came over, he saw that Xia Qiao had his back against the door, half of his soul was gone. He grabbed the umbrella angrily and was about to go out when he suddenly heard Xie Wen's voice coming to his side.
His gloved fingers touched Shishi lightly, and he closed it with one touch: "Is there something wrong in a while?"
He turned to look at him when he smelled.
"Let's have something to eat here, and I'll take you off later."
