Seeing a group of mosquitoes flying towards Xue Lin, Feng Yi took two more steps in that direction.
As Feng Yi approached, the mosquitoes that originally flew towards this direction swayed in a circle, stayed for a moment as if unwilling to do so, and then flew away.
The three mosquitoes on Xue Lin's body did not know whether they were full of blood or were forced to give up midway. They also flew up, but were quickly caught by Feng Yi.
Wiping off the blood on his palms with a tissue, Feng Yi looked at Xue Lin.
At this time, Xue Lin finally came to his senses, scratched the mosquito bite, calmly took out an ointment from his bag and applied it, and then continued to talk to Feng Yi melancholy about the sad things about this house. p>
"At that time, I had a dog, which was given to me by a friend. It was not convenient to raise a dog in the city, and I had some conflicts with my family, so I bought a house here. Although this house was too close to the river, there was heavy humidity and mosquitoes
There were many, but at that time only the owner of this apartment wanted to sell the house, so I bought it.
"Actually, this house is quite good. It is located in the corner of the community. Although there are more mosquitoes, there are fewer people. I can't meet anyone even when I walk my dog. I also play Frisbee with it on the grass over there."
Feng Yi looked in the direction pointed by the other party.
A large area of unknown weeds that is almost as tall as a person. That area is close to the river and does not belong to the community. When the property owner mows the lawn, that area will be ignored. Unless the owners strongly request it, these areas will basically be left alone.
Ecological growth.
"I still remember that the temperature that day was about the same as today. I took him to play Frisbee outside the community without tying him up with a rope. I threw the Frisbee out, and there happened to be a phone call, so I answered it, and I heard two dog barks.
, but I didn’t pay attention to it when I answered the phone. When I finished the call and went out to look for the dog, I found that it was missing..."
As Xue Lin seemed to continue to be immersed in his sad memories, Feng Yi had to interrupt this time. Since he was willing to buy this house, he had to clarify some questions.
"Why did the dog suddenly disappear?"
From what Xue Lin meant, although the time it took for him to answer the phone was not short, it wasn't very long either. Moreover, he also heard two dog barks during the period. Was it a dog thief?
When Feng Yi asked this question, Xue Lin's eyes were full of regret, "I don't know, the surveillance of the property couldn't capture it there. I called the police and asked someone to check it privately. But the dog seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
The camera did not capture any suspicious persons, and there was no trace of the dog.
"Someone found some traces by the river and said that the dog might have been dragged down by something in the river. At that time, there were rumors in the community that there were crocodiles and pythons in the river. More people moved away and stayed.
It won't come any closer.
"Later, an inspection team to combat illegal fishing passed by. They heard about what happened here and came to take a look. However, no traces of illegal fishing were found in this section of the river, and there were no crocodiles or pythons. They even set off detectors.
I searched the water and found no useful information."
Feng Yi was also surprised, "It is impossible for a dog to disappear for no reason."
"Yes!" Xue Lin's face was full of regret, "I should have been staring at it at the time. Why did I throw the Frisbee over there! Why did I let it get close to the river!"
Of course, Xue Lin's sad things didn't stop there. He went on to talk about the sad memories this house left for him. For example, after losing his dog, he got a cat. Within two months, the cat ran away to someone else's house.
They just abandoned him. Another example was when he tripped over an old turtle while running outside the community, broke his leg, and his family forcibly tied him back...
However, what Feng Yi cared about most was what Xue Lin just said about losing the dog. He wanted to ask more detailed questions, but Xue Lin was immersed in his own world and talking to himself.
As for the inside of the house, because I haven’t lived in it for a long time, many important things have actually been moved away. The furniture left in the house has been left unattended for a long time and the moisture here is heavy, so it has suffered varying degrees of damage. Barely.
It still works.
While Feng Yi was looking at the house, Lu Yue drove over.
Lu Yue didn't plan to come over. He had a lot of things going on over there, but luckily things were going smoothly and there were no emergencies today, so he came over to take a look. He wasn't worried about Feng Yi, he was worried about his unscrupulous cousin.
But the moment he got off the car, Lu Yue had the urge to turn around and go back to the car.
"It's not night yet, why are there so many mosquitoes here! I made a mistake, I didn't bring mosquito repellent!"
As he spoke, Lu Yue waved his hands to drive away the mosquitoes around him.
"Just get used to it." Xue Lin said.
"God damn, just get used to it!" Lu Yue thought to himself, screw you, I won't "get used to" this place!
Complaining, Lu Yue looked around and couldn't help but said: "This is not just 'remote', right? This can be said to be a 'wild house'!"
Snap!
Lu Yue slapped his arm.
The mosquito didn't hit him, but his arm turned red.
It’s not dark yet, but mosquitoes are so arrogant? Wouldn’t it be even more desperate after dark?!
Looking at the wild grass growing almost as tall as a person on the river bank not far away, Lu Yue shivered when the wind blew.
"Can this place...be lived in?"
Lu Yue took it in for a moment, imagining himself living here... He felt like he was suffocating, and goosebumps popped out.
Lu Yue asked Feng Yi: "Do you really want to buy a house here? If you live in a place like this, aren't you afraid that some kind of monster will suddenly pop up?"
Feng Yi: "...I am brave and not afraid."
After talking about what he smelled, Feng Yi walked into the yard and picked up a half-meter-long snake from the knee-high weeds.
Xue Lin, whose eyes were still filled with melancholy, looked at it and said calmly: "It should be some kind of water snake, not very poisonous."
Feng Yi also said: "Well, the poison is not strong."
Lu Yue, who was already stunned: "..."
Xue Lin added: "Put it in a bag and let the property management handle it later. They will release it at the designated location."
Feng Yi: "Then I'll just send it to the real estate agent now."
Xue Lin: "Don't worry. If you find another one, don't make another trip? Here, put it in this bag first."
Xue Lin took out a sack and handed it over.
Feng Yi calmly took it and pretended to be a snake.
Lu Yue: "..."
This is a snake!
A living snake!!
Don't talk about a snake in the same tone as an earthworm!
"Why are there snakes in this yard?" Lu Yue asked with a stiff face.
He only likes bionic snake skin. He doesn't like real snakes and is even a little afraid of them.
Xue Lin glanced at him with disgust: "Isn't it normal to have snakes in this place and this environment?"
After speaking, his eyes turned to Feng Yi, his brows furrowed as if he was thinking of some difficult problem.
Lu Yue no longer stared at the mosquitoes, but instead stared at the surrounding grass, fearing that another snake would burst out of the grass and bite his feet.
At the same time, Lu Yue was thinking, is he the one who made the fuss? His cousin who studies art can take it calmly, but the younger boy catches snakes as if he were catching earthworms. Is his reaction too cowardly?
But the "beautiful mountains and clear waters" in Lu Yue's heart are definitely not this kind of wild environment! Mosquitoes are everywhere, and he has to guard against snakes in his yard! He wouldn't even live in a house like this!
Thinking of Feng Yi's miraculous sense of smell, Lu Yue planned to ask Feng Yi if there was any smell of snakes around here. Since you can smell the peeled snake skin, you should also be able to smell the skin on the long snake! Otherwise, how did you catch it just now?
So accurate?
Lu Yue opened his mouth to ask, but suddenly a force pushed him aside.
Xue Lin held the mobile phone, and the screen almost hit Feng Yi's face.
"Is this you?!"
Feng Yi focused on the photo on his phone——
Holding a small green dragon in one hand, wearing a mask, sunglasses and fisherman hat.
