Hao Ren stared blankly at the note in front of him. It contained the address of a remote place on the outskirts of the city. He was very familiar with this address: Isn't that his home? "What are you looking for here?" Hao Ren didn't know why a strange girl he met for the first time would hold his home address in his hand. To be honest, he was a little excited at this moment, but he was also quite self-aware and knew himself well. All the good luck in this life has been used up when he was at the same table with a girl before the third grade of elementary school, so he still looked indifferent, just looking at the beautiful girl in front of him with a little curiosity.
Good figure, good appearance, although the height is a little bit ugly, but the lively and cheerful appearance can completely regain one point...
"I'm looking for a house to live in!" The beautiful girl replied very simply and happily, "I've been looking for a day, and I decided to ask someone when I couldn't find it—but you are the only one left in the park who can ask."
Hao Ren always felt that the girl in front of him was a bit more familiar with herself, but his attention was quickly attracted by the three words "looking for a house" mentioned by the other party. After waking up for a while, he suddenly remembered something: Oh, I am a landlord, and I just advertised a room for rent in the city tabloids two days ago, so this girl in front of me is looking for a house to live in? It's been a long time since it opened, and today I can finally receive rent again!
Hao Ren folded the piece of paper and handed it back to the other party: "Of course I know this place, I'll take you there."
The beautiful girl immediately showed a happy expression, stuffed the paper into the bag, and patted the leather bag: "Thank you! I have been looking for it for a long time..."
Hao Ren stood up and stretched, and was about to walk out of the park when he suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Wait! You said you spent a whole day looking for this address in the city center? !"
The pretty girl nodded her head vigorously, with a straightforward and cute look: "Yeah, yes! This place is quite hard to find."
"Of course it's hard to find!" Hao Ren almost couldn't control his tone. He suddenly wondered if the girl in front of him had known him before and had a grudge against him, and she came here to tease him today, "Didn't you find the address on it?" Does it say Southern Suburb?! Southern Suburb! You have been looking for a suburban address in the city for a day?"
"But it says it's in Baishilou." The pretty girl raised her finger and pointed in a certain direction. Hao Ren knew that it was the location of a commercial building in the city center. "Isn't Baishilou in the city?"
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, and then realized: "It's Baishi Road in the southern suburbs, not Baishilou in the downtown!" of it
"Aha," the pretty girl quickly recalled, and then she showed a bit embarrassed look, "I forgot, I'm usually a little sloppy. Then you know this Baishi Road in the southern suburbs, right? Take me there."
Hao Ren still felt that there was something wrong with the girl in front of him, but he was a person who was too lazy to think too much about things. Besides, the other party was just a tenant looking for a rented house. He had been a landlord for the past two years, and he had long been used to not caring about tenants. So he raised his finger and pointed to the park entrance: "You have to take a bus. The southern suburbs are far away from here. It should be almost night when we get there. Oh, by the way, I am the landlord you are looking for. That house is mine."
When the pretty girl heard it, she immediately revealed a look of surprise, and she was taken aback: "Ah!? Are you serious?"
As soon as Hao Ren nodded, the energetic girl in front of him almost jumped up: "Ah, what a coincidence! How can there be such a coincidence in the world, the landlord and we are destined?!"
Hao Ren rubbed his forehead. From the beginning, he felt that the girl in front of him was a bit out of touch. At this moment, he finally couldn't help but say what he wanted to say: "You... are not afraid of being kidnapped? What if I lie to you? ?”…
This is a rather euphemistic way of saying it. In fact, he really felt that the girl in front of him was a bit... no, it was a special one! I searched for an address in the suburbs in the city center for a whole day without saying a word, and believed a stranger with just a few words, and even looked at it with confidence and boldly let the stranger lead her to a deserted place. Going to the suburbs, why are girls' awareness of prevention so weak these days? Is it because she is very lucky or because the human traffickers have been passive and sabotage recently, why hasn't this girl been abducted by others
Hao Ren muttered a lot in his mind, but it only took a second or two, and the second-hand girl opposite seemed to have just realized it, and she looked at Hao Ren very vigilantly: "Abduction? Then you are a human trafficker, planning to abduct Me?"
Hao Ren: "...Of course not!" He felt that he should stay away from this girl. If it wasn't for the fact that she was a "customer", he definitely wouldn't have communicated with this kind of bastard for such a long time!
The second-hand girl nodded in satisfaction: "That's fine, I'm afraid I'll be cheated. Let's go then?"
Hao Ren sighed weakly, and when he walked out of the park, he suddenly felt that his steps were extremely heavy.
The two quickly boarded the bus from the city to the suburbs, and the journey was not boring at all: Hao Ren found that his new tenant was not only familiar, quick-tempered, and suspected of committing a crime, but also A character who can't be idle! In the car, he listened to the other party chatting with him enthusiastically, from the status quo of second-tier stars at home and abroad to housing prices in second-tier cities in various places, there was basically nothing she didn't talk about. Hao Ren didn't know where these topics started. Anyway, when the other party wasn't embarrassed at all or couldn't continue, as long as he nodded a little in agreement, the bastard girl could find the motivation to continue talking and then go on to balabala... But this It's not a big problem. Listening to her talk is enough to relieve boredom, and Hao Ren also took this opportunity to get a general idea of the situation of his new tenant. This is a compulsory course for a landlord: to get a general idea of the tenant in the shortest possible time In order to prevent some very troublesome things.
The second-hand girl's surname is Liu, and her name is Liu Lili, and she generously asked Hao Ren to call her "Lily" directly. She claims to be a pet doctor and idle author who travels all over the world. She just came here from another city and plans to live here permanently. , don’t choose where to live, as long as it’s sheltered from wind and rain, it’s clean and convenient, anyway, work is free…
Based on this information, Hao Ren judged that his new tenant was a very aggressive person who didn't have a stable job for the time being, but would not make trouble for him. He was quite satisfied with this. In fact, no matter how you look at it, such a little girl can't find much trouble, although her personality seems a little bit... But that's her own problem, isn't it? Hao Ren just needs to be his own landlord.
Just as expected, when the long bus stopped at a small stop in the southern suburbs, it was almost completely dark outside.
Hao Ren led Lily out of the car, and before he could catch his breath, he heard the latter yelling, "This is Baishi Road?"
"The sign says this is Nanjiao Station! Baishi Road is an old street, and you have to take a small road. Have you ever seen a bus drive into an alley?"
"Oh...haha, it's easy for me to get things wrong. Landlord, please take care of me," Lily laughed dryly, and Balabala said it along the way. She seemed to have become more familiar with Hao Ren. She turned her head to look at the surrounding environment, frowning slightly Wrinkled, "It's pretty deserted here."
The bus station is located on the side of a road that looks quite old, and all the surrounding buildings are in the style of 20 or 30 years ago. The road is full of potholes, closed shops along the street with narrow fronts, and the old and cramped fifth floor behind the shops. Unit buildings, this alone can reflect how desolate and old a place is, and this street and the surrounding area are already the only "urban areas" in the southern suburbs. Sometimes Hao Ren himself wonders if this area has been completely forgotten by modern society, but at the end of each month, he will regain his confidence in society: Don't panic, the water supply bureau will not forget you, and the power supply bureau will not forget you You, the gas company will not forget you, even China Unicom and the insurance company will not forget you, there are so many people who are always thinking about you in the outer suburbs, what is there to be unhappy about...
"Let's go quickly," Hao Ren signaled Lily to follow. "Although the city's security is good, this place is remote after all. It's getting late and there will inevitably be drunks wandering outside. Go back to my place and help you settle down first. By the way, I will also By the way, I would like to remind you, try not to run around at night, you will be safe and I will save trouble."
It stands to reason that these few words should not be said. As a landlord, saying these words can easily scare the tenants away or make them suspicious, but Hao Ren has always been an honest person. Although he is afraid of trouble, he is even more unwilling to lie People may take advantage of others, so he explained the situation here clearly when he opened his mouth. This is also one of the reasons why he couldn't rent out his house recently: two house inspectors finally came to see the house, but they were all scared away.
However, Lily, who looked petite, didn't take it seriously at all: "Don't worry, Landlord, I fight very hard."
Hao Ren felt that he would definitely meet an abnormal guy today: "I'm not talking about this... Hey, let me just say it clearly. Are you not afraid of meeting bad guys at all?"
As a half stranger who just met for a day, Hao Ren knew that he shouldn't meddle in too much business, but this was the first time in his life that he met such a strange girl, who escaped from familiarity and defenselessness to the point of being almost a second-hand girl , as a good person, he couldn't bear it anymore.
However, Lily just waved her hands happily and nonchalantly: "Landlord, you are really a good person, but I am not afraid of bad guys. I am very strong and I fight well. I beat all the bad guys I met before."
Hao Ren couldn't help muttering: You really met bad guys... because you beat them all away, so you are so unrestrained and unsuspecting now
Seeing that Hao Ren didn't speak, Lily smiled to herself, stretched out her hand and pulled up her extra-large suitcase to follow, but only heard two "cuckoos" and the two rubber wheels on the suitcase fell off. Roll away soon.
"Ahaha, it seems that things are a bit heavy." Lily scratched her hair awkwardly.
"No, the road is a bit bumpy..." Hao Ren's eyebrows twitched, and he couldn't help sighing when he saw the potholed road, thinking that as a man, he should do something, "Come on, let me carry the suitcase for you... Hey, I'll go to you What the hell is in there?!"
As soon as he touched it, he felt something was wrong with Lily's box. It was as heavy as if there was an equal volume of cement in it. He couldn't even lift it even for a big old man!
However, Lily didn't notice the weird look on Hao Ren's face at all. She just laughed and picked up her big box on her shoulder with one hand. The whole process was as easy as grabbing a bag of cotton.
Hao Ren opened his mouth and looked at this thin girl who was a head lower than himself, carrying a box of at least a hundred kilograms of things on his shoulders and striding forward. He almost wondered if there was something wrong with his worldview, until Lily He was loudly urging him to lead the way before he realized it, and he muttered as he walked: It’s okay, it’s just that he is born with great strength, don’t you usually watch variety shows too much...
The two of them walked on, balabala and the other with a little thought, and soon left the relatively wide road and turned into a dark path: the end of this path is the so-called "White Stone Road". in front of.
It was already dark, and one of the two streetlights beside the small road was broken. Surrounded by dilapidated old houses, the atmosphere here was even more eerie. A big man who is familiar with the environment will feel hairy walking outside. He couldn't help but glanced at Lily who was following him: the girl was still following him unsuspectingly, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
The dark night, the sparsely populated alleys, the unfamiliar environment, and a strange man who doesn't know his background, any of the above four things is enough to make a girl with normal three views vigilant, but this "Liu Lili" is a little nervous None, is it really lack of thought or what
"Plop--"
Just when Hao Ren was thinking about worrying about a strange girl, a strange sound of flapping wings suddenly came from above.
When the surrounding area was quiet, there was a sudden movement, which of course startled him. He immediately followed the sound, but just in time to see a strange black shadow across the narrow night sky between the high walls on both sides.
That black shadow seems to be a bat, but the size... doesn't seem right
"Heh... something at night." Of course, Hao Ren didn't want to lose face in front of a girl, so he purposely yelled loudly to show that he wasn't frightened at all, and then looked up at Lily, thinking he would see the former She looks scared, but...
At that moment, he saw a pair of wolf ears popping out of Lily's head!
