Chapter 1793

Just like that, the two of us dragged our heavy luggage and walked towards the place Wen Xue said.

The place Wen Xue mentioned was not far from the bus stop, about 500 meters away. The two of us talked and laughed along the way and walked over there.

"Ninth brother, that's right there." Wen Xue stopped suddenly, raised her hand and pointed forward.

Looking along the place where she pointed, it was an alley, which was quite deep, and there were rows of shops that looked like barbershops on both sides. The strange thing was that the barbershop had red lights, and there were only a few Such a simple hair cutting tool.

What's even more strange is that there are rows of young women with heavy makeup sitting in the barber shop. The strangest thing is that those young women are wearing revealing clothes and will ask the passing men from time to time.

Seeing the situation, I frowned, looked at Wen Xue, and muttered, "Where is this place?"

She smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Jiu, I...we don't have much money on us, so we can't afford to rent other places, so we can only..."

I understood what she meant, and stood there for a while, without thinking too much, I asked her, "Where is the house you were looking at?"

She raised her hand and pointed to the front, and said in a low voice: "Go straight into this alley, go to the end, and turn left. The rent is cheap, only 350 a month, just pay it."

350?

A fellow villager who used to work in Guangzhou said that the rent here is very expensive, and it is really not easy to find a house for [-] a month.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Wen Xue thought I was angry, and hurriedly said: "Brother Jiu, if you don't like it, we can find another house."

I smiled, raised my hand to touch my forehead, and said softly: "Forget it, just have a place to stay."

After finishing speaking, I don't want to mention how depressed I am.

To be honest, I thought about finding someone to borrow some money to deal with it.However, it's hard to say this in my heart. If I say borrow money to do big things, maybe I can convince myself.

But, lending money to myself to live a life, I really can't pass my own level.

Because of this, I dismissed that idea and subconsciously touched my pocket, and there was only less than 300 yuan in it.

At that moment, I took a deep breath, waved away the unpleasant emotions in my mind, grabbed Wen Xue's hand, and said softly: "Let's go, go and see our new... new... house."

"Okay!" Wen Xue's face was ecstatic, and she grabbed my arm firmly, "Go and see our new house."

After we finished speaking, the two of us looked at each other and smiled, neither of us said anything, we got into the alley with our feet.

Through the long alley, the two of us walked about a hundred places, and a house appeared in front of us. This house has an indescribably dilapidated feel, only three stories high, and the windows are old-fashioned wooden windows. Standing in front of her was an old lady in her seventies.

As soon as she saw us, the old lady asked us a few words in authentic Cantonese.

Both of us are foreigners, how could we understand what the old lady said? Fortunately, the old lady must have seen our predicament, took out an elderly mobile phone, pressed a group of numbers, and said to the phone A pass in Cantonese.

Although I couldn't understand what the old lady was saying, I could tell from her expression that she was calling for someone to come over.

Facts have proved that my guess was correct. In less than 3 minutes, a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old came over. The girl had shoulder-length hair and looked pure and innocent, with a harmless expression.

Seeing us, the girl first took a look at the two of us, then walked over, reached out to shake Wen Xue's hand symbolically, and said with a faint smile, "You are sister Wen Xue from 58 Tongcheng!"

"Yes, you are Chen Mu, right?" Wen Xue said hastily.

"Yeah!" Chen Mu nodded and said with a smile, "That's right. The owner of this house belongs to Mrs. Yuan. The old man lives here alone, and all his children have gone abroad. He only leaves a disappointing grandson with him. She is by my side, but her old grandson doesn't live up to expectations, he spends years outside playing around, and even took away the living expenses sent back by the old man's children, so the old man entrusted me to rent out the house out of desperation."

Hearing this, I didn't think much about it, but Wen Xue said something, she said: "Sister Chen Mu, can I ask if the rent can be lowered, I... I only have 800 yuan on me, I... .”

Having said that, Wen Xue's face turned red, even her neck turned red.

This is something that can't be helped. Although Wen Xue is not a child of a wealthy family, she probably has never been short of money in her life.

When Chen Mu heard this, he didn't rush to answer, but had a conversation with Mrs. Yuan in Cantonese.

After touching for about a minute, Chen Mu spoke, and she said: "Sister Wen Xue, I just talked to Mrs. Yuan, and she said that she still has some money with her, so she is not in a hurry to ask for rent for the time being, but , her old man made a request."

"What request!" Wen Xue asked hurriedly.

Then Chen Mu glanced at Mrs. Yuan, and then said: "It's like this, Mrs. Yuan has a strange habit. She likes to put 100 yuan at the door every night when she sleeps. So, you should understand that the 100 yuan Don't touch it."

Hearing this, I immediately wondered, what does this mean?
Put 100 yuan at the door?
Immediately, I quickly looked at the old lady Yuan, and stared at her for a few more times, only to find that the old lady Yuan's face was wrinkled, and there was a strange feeling all over her body.

The old lady Yuan seemed to notice my gaze, she glanced at me, smiled at me, and said nothing.

"Ninth brother, do you want to stay here!" At this moment, Wen Xue pulled me.

I didn't answer in a hurry, but stared at the old lady for a while. According to my understanding, generally there are only two possibilities for putting money at the door. One is that the money is for Yin people, and the other is that Yes, old people like Mrs. Yuan's generation all believe in one sentence, that is, RMB can ward off evil spirits.

This makes me a little uncertain, no matter which possibility it is, it can only prove one thing, that is, this house is definitely not a normal house.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Wen Xue pulled me again, and said softly, "Brother Jiu, do you want to rent?"

I looked at Wen Xue, then at Mrs. Yuan, my heart sank, and I said, "Rent!"

As soon as the words came out, Chen Mu quickly said my words to the old lady Yuan, and the old lady Yuan looked at me meaningfully, and said a few words in Cantonese to me.

I couldn't understand what she said, so I quickly looked at Chen Mu.

When Chen Mu saw my eyes, he immediately translated: "This little brother, Mrs. Yuan is asking you if you are a fellow."

When he said this, Chen Mu's tone was very strange, and his clear eyes kept rolling around me.

And when I heard this, I fixed my eyes on the old lady Yuan. As I guessed, this old lady should know something about metaphysics.

At that moment, I quickly said to Chen Mu, "You tell her that the old man is a fellow."

That Chen Mu was not in a hurry to send a message, but stared at me for a long time, and then turned his head and said a sentence in Cantonese to the old lady Yuan.
