Super Red Packet

Chapter 71
Meng Xiaoben was frustrated for the first time since he joined the red envelope group, and he was not in a good mood. After eating two mouthfuls of food, he lay down on the sofa without saying a word.

Seeing that Meng Xiaoben was unhappy, Qiongzi felt that she should not ridicule him.

She silently cleaned up the dishes, and sat gently beside him, "Don't be sad, I actually have a good idea."

"What's a good idea?" Meng Xiaoben felt that she was exhaling like blue, and hurriedly turned around and asked.

"The reason why the black cat was able to find the fish in the trash can was because the cat smelled the smell of fish from a long distance away, and then!..." She deliberately stopped talking, not going any further. Next say.

Meng Xiaoben was taken aback, and immediately said happily: "Then we can get a fish and put it on that road to lure that cat, right? Just like you are a fish, my cat will always surround you turn, right?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his arms and wrapped them around her slender waist.

Qiongzi blushed hurriedly, and broke free from his arms: "Don't use me as an example, okay? That's my idea, let's try it tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow, tomorrow's too late to say tonight and that cat's dead. We'll do it now. Do you have any fish in the fridge?"

"Of course." Qiongzi walked towards the refrigerator.

After flipping through it, he took out a frozen hairtail from the refrigerator.

Meng Xiaoben melted the hairtail with hot water, cut it into sections, heated up the oil, and fried it lightly.

The hairtail exudes a strong aroma.

Outside, it was already dark, and the two of them quietly came to the trail, and put down a piece of fish every ten steps.

Having done this, the two returned to the crossing, and stood opposite each other, pretending to be talking as lovers, but keeping their eyes fixed on the path.

Facts have proved that this method is so wonderful.

Only 2 minutes passed, and with a "meow", a black figure came out of a door.

By the moonlight, Meng Xiaoben and Qiongzi saw the door very clearly.

That gate was the shabby and smallest gate in the whole lane.

The black cat went straight to the side of the road, lowered its head and picked up the fish piece.

Meng Xiaoben and Qiongzi hurried over there.

They knew neither of them could catch the cat, but they had to get close to it to see which yard it had gone to.

The black cat saw two people again. It raised its head and looked at the two people in front of it with two sparkling eyes.

It seemed to know Meng Xiaoben and Qiong Zi clearly, and remembered what happened last night. It meowed again mockingly, and then went back to the yard through the gap under the gate with a piece of fish in its mouth.

This black cat belongs to this family. A cat that finds food will not sneak into other people's houses.

"Okay, okay, I found the home of Sheriff Black Cat." Qiong Zi clapped her hands.

"Keep your voice down," Meng Xiaoben covered Qiong Zi's mouth, "If someone hears it, it's over."

The two quietly left the path and returned home.

After discussing and discussing, I think it is not a good way to go to that house to buy that cat. It will easily arouse the suspicion of the cat owner, and the cat owner will lock the cat at home and check the cat feces every day for any treasures.

The next morning, after they got up, they pretended to take a walk and passed by the house again.

How to do it?How can I contact the cat owner?
Knock on the door?

what?
That's asking for trouble, and getting scolded.

The two walked slowly in the alley, Qiong Zi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Look, there is a small one-story house in the yard of his house."

Indeed, in the yard, besides the main house, there is also a small bungalow arranged vertically.

The small house was only five or six meters long and wide, with a low roof and a chimney protruding from it.

"People can live in this small room." Qiongzi said.

“How come you see?”

"There's a chimney. If it were a warehouse, there wouldn't be a chimney."

"You are so smart, you are indeed my favorite." Meng Xiaoben happily kissed her cheek.

"It can be lived in, can we rent it out and become the tenant of this house?"

As soon as Qiongzi's idea was brought up, Meng Xiaoben immediately admired her: becoming a tenant of this house, close contact, and slowly infiltrating, will surely get rid of that cat.

Meng Xiaoben patted her face lightly, and praised: "I didn't expect your upper part to be so good."

Qiongzi pushed him away, "Stop making trouble, go in and ask."

Meng Xiaoben looked at Qiong Zi for a while, reached out and took off the platinum necklace around her neck, and said: "You have to pretend to be poor, rich student couples will not come here to rent a house, they will rent a house in the building, you say right?"

"Yes, it is so."

The two studied how to make up a lie, and when they were ready, they knocked on the door.

"Is anyone there?" Meng Xiaoben called out twice.

"Squeak——" The door of the main room was slightly opened, revealing a pale and fat old man's face, with one eye open and the other still closed, with his trousers in his hands.

"Who is it? What are you knocking in the early morning? Announcing the funeral?" A vicious voice came out of the old man's big mouth, and at the same time, it also exposed a few remaining yellow teeth.

This old guy is really tired of cursing viciously when he speaks.Meng Xiaoben suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked as calmly as possible: "Is there any house for rent here?"

"Renting a house?" His other eye finally opened, and a few yellow teeth flickered around his mouth.

"We want to rent."

The old man's eyes were piercing, looking like the excitement of a pickpocket who found a woman's waist wallet. He looked Meng Xiaoben and Qiong Zi up and down, "Can't help it? Hourly room?"

Qiongzi trembled with anger, Meng Xiaoben held her little hand vigorously, telling her to calm down.Meng Xiaoben suppressed the anger in his heart, and said with a smile: "No, we want to rent for a long time."

"Two people?"

"It's the two of us, no one else."

The old man fastened his belt, tightened the zipper of the front door, limped across the yard, came to the gate, put half of his face behind the fence, looked at the two people up and down for a minute, and then opened the gate on the deadbolt.

Meng Xiaoben and Qiong Zi smelled a smell of wine mixed with sweat stains.

The two couldn't help frowning, and followed him to the door of the small room.

He took out the keys tied with old shoelaces from his trouser belt, unlocked the door, and pushed the door open: "Look."

The two poked their heads into the house.

There was a musty smell in the room.It was dark, and an old wooden bed was vaguely seen, covered with a straw mat wrapped in blue coarse cloth.There was a cabinet against the wall, with the door half-opened, and a pile of bowls and plates were randomly placed in it, and a pile of chopsticks fell to the ground, lying here and there in the dust.

The walls of the hut are made of yellow mud, and some old newspapers are pasted on them. The newspapers are a little yellow, near the ceiling, because the rain has leaked from above, the newspapers have been water-stained, and there are water spots in patches.

The window is too small to open, just a piece of glass on a wooden frame.

Qiongzi frowned and said, "Forget it, let's find another one."

Meng Xiaoben asked: "How much is a month?"

"400 a month, electricity is not included, there is an independent meter." The old man pointed to a meter on the gable outside the small house and said.

"The conditions are too bad, can it be cheaper?" Meng Xiaoben wanted to try his best to act the trick as realistically as possible.
