Hao Ren stared blankly at the note in front of him, which 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?
"Why are you looking for this place?" Hao Ren didn't know why a strange girl he met for the first time had his home address in her hand. To be honest, he was quite excited at this moment, but he was also quite self-aware and knew that he
All the luck in his life had been used up when he sat at the same table with a girl before the third grade of elementary school, so he still looked indifferent and just looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with slight curiosity.
She has a good figure and good looks. Although her height is a bit disappointing, her lively and cheerful appearance can definitely win back 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 whole day, but I really couldn't find it so I decided to ask someone - 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 little too familiar, but his attention was quickly attracted by the words "looking for a house" mentioned by the other party. His mind was groggy from a summer siesta.
After waking up a little, he suddenly remembered something: Oh, he is a landlord. He just placed an advertisement in the city's tabloid two days ago saying that he had a house for rent. So is this girl in front of him looking for a house to live in?
It’s been a long time since I opened my business, and I finally received my rent today!
Hao Ren folded the piece of paper and handed it back to the other party: "Of course I know this place, I will take you there."
The pretty girl suddenly looked happy, stuffed the paper into her bag, and patted her bag: "Thank you! I've been looking for it for a long time..."
Hao Ren stood up and stretched, and was just about to walk out of the park when his head was agitated and he finally remembered that something was wrong: "Hey, wait! You said you have been looking for this address in the city center all day?
!”
The beautiful girl nodded vigorously, showing a naive 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. She came here specifically to amuse him today. "You didn't notice the address on it?"
Does it say Southern Suburbs?! Southern Suburbs! You spent a whole day looking for a suburban address in the city?"
"But it says it's in Baishi Building," 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 Baishi Building in the city?"
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, and then he realized: "It's Baishi Road in the southern suburbs, not Baishi Building in the city center!"
He still has half a sentence left to say: Does this girl dare you to look at the first two characters of a place name?
"Aha," the pretty girl recalled quickly, then looked a little embarrassed, "I forgot, I'm usually a bit careless. So you know this Baishi Road in the southern suburbs, right? Take me there."
Hao Ren still always 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 when things happened. Besides, the other party was just a tenant who rented a house from him. He had been a landlord for the past two years, and he had long been accustomed to not paying much attention to his tenants.
So he raised his hand and pointed at the park entrance: "You have to take a bus. The southern suburbs are far away from here. It will be almost night by the time we get there. Oh, by the way, I am the landlord you are looking for.
That house is mine."
When the beautiful girl heard this, she immediately showed a look of surprise, and her whole body was startled: "Ah!? Are you serious?"
As soon as Hao Reng 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? Are we, the landlord, destined?!"
Hao Ren rubbed his forehead. He felt that the girl in front of him was a little out of touch from just now. At this time, he finally couldn't help but say what he wanted to say: "Aren't you... afraid of being abducted? What if I lie to you?
Woolen cloth?"
This was a rather euphemistic way of saying it. In fact, he really felt that the girl in front of him was a little bit... no, very...
, even at a glance, she was about to boldly let a stranger lead her to a deserted suburb. Why are girls’ awareness of prevention so weak these days? Is it because she is very lucky or is it because of recent human traffickers?
Why didn't this girl get abducted because she was passive and slow at work?
Hao Ren muttered a lot in his mind, but it only lasted for a second or two. The second-hand girl opposite (that's okay, right?) seemed to have just reacted. She looked at Hao Ren warily: "Hua Ren"
?Then you are a human trafficker and plan to abduct me?"
Hao Ren: "...Of course not!" He felt that he should stay away from this girl. If he hadn't seen her as a "customer", he would definitely not have communicated with such a slut for so long!
The second-rate girl nodded with satisfaction: "That's okay. I'm afraid I've been cheated. Then let's go?"
Hao Ren sighed feebly, and when he stepped out of the park, he suddenly felt that his steps were extremely heavy.
The two soon boarded the bus from the city to the suburbs. The journey was really not boring at all: Hao Ren found that his new tenant was not only familiar with him, had a wild temper, and was suspected of committing a crime.
He was a talkative character! In the car, he listened to the other party chatting with him with great interest. From the current situation of second-tier stars at home and abroad to the housing prices in second-tier cities around the world, there was basically nothing she didn't talk about. Hao Ren didn't know these topics either.
Where did it start? Anyway, when the other person is not embarrassed at all or can't go on, as long as he can nod and agree, the cheap girl can find the motivation to continue talking and then continue balabala... But this is not a big problem,
Listening to her talk relieved his boredom, and Hao Ren also took this opportunity to get a general understanding of his new tenant's situation. This was a required course for a landlord: to get a general understanding of the tenant's situation in the shortest possible time, in order to prevent
Some very troublesome things.
The second-rate girl’s surname was Liu, and her name was Liu Lili, and she generously asked Hao Ren to just call her “Lily”. She claimed to be a traveling pet doctor and an idle author (I don’t know what the occupation of an idle author is). She just graduated from
I came here from another city and plan to live here permanently. I don’t have to choose where to live, as long as it is sheltered from wind and rain, clean and convenient, and I have freedom of work anyway...
Based on this information, Hao Ren judged that his new tenant was a very aggressive person who did not have a stable job for the time being, but would not cause trouble for him. He was quite satisfied with this. In fact, no matter how hard you look at it, you can't find many people like this little girl.
**Annoying, although her personality seems a bit awkward...but that's her own problem, isn't it? Hao Ren can just be his own landlord.
Just as expected, by the time this extremely 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. Before he could take a breath, he heard the latter yelling: "Is this the White Stone 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 go into an alley?"
"Oh...haha, I tend to make mistakes. Landlord, please bear with me," Lily laughed dryly. After Balabala spoke along the way, she seemed to have become more familiar with Hao Ren on one side. She turned to look at her surroundings and frowned.
Wrinkling slightly, "It's quite deserted here."
The bus station is located on a road that looks quite old. All the surrounding buildings are in the style of 20 or 30 years ago. There are bumpy roads, closed shops along the street with narrow fronts, and an old and cramped five-story building behind the shop.
Unit buildings, these alone can reflect how desolate and outdated 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 whether this area has become
He was completely forgotten by modern society, but at the end of every month he would regain his confidence in society: Don’t panic, the water supply bureau will not forget you, the power supply bureau will not forget you, the gas company will not forget you, even China Unicom and China Unicom will not forget you.
No one who sells insurance will forget you. There are so many people who are always thinking about you in the suburbs. What else can you be unhappy about...
"Let's go quickly," Hao Ren motioned for Lily to follow him. "Although the security in this city is good, this place is remote after all. It's inevitable that there will be drunks wandering outside when it gets late. Come back to my place first and help you settle down. By the way, I will too."
By the way, I would like to remind you, try not to run around at night, it will keep you safe and I will save you trouble."
Logically speaking, these words should not be said. As a landlord, saying these words can easily scare tenants away or make them suspicious, but Hao Ren has always been an honest person. Although he is afraid of trouble, he is not willing to lie.
He may take advantage of others, so he explained everything clearly about the situation as soon as he opened his mouth. This was one of the reasons why he couldn't rent out his house recently: he finally came to see two houses, but they were all scared away.
However, Lily, a petite-looking girl, didn't take it seriously at all: "Don't worry, Landlord, I'm a good fighter."
Hao Ren felt that he definitely met an abnormal guy today: "I'm not saying this... Hey, let me make it clear, you are not afraid of meeting bad people at all?"
As a stranger who had just met for a day, Hao Ren knew that he shouldn't meddle in too much, but this was the first time in his life that he met such a strange girl, and he was so unprepared that he was almost second-rate.
, as a good person, he couldn't help it anymore.
However, Lily just waved her hands happily and nonchalantly: "Landlord, you are such a good person, but I am not afraid of bad guys. I am very strong and a good fighter. I have beaten away all the bad guys I met before."
Hao Ren couldn't help but mutter: You have really encountered bad people...because they all ran away, why are you so unrestrained and unwary now?
Seeing that Hao Ren didn't speak, Lily smiled to herself, stretched out her hand to pull up her extra-large suitcase and followed her. However, she only heard two "clunking, clucking" sounds, and the two rubber wheels on the suitcase fell off.
Quickly rolled away.
"Ahaha, it seems like the thing is 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 but sigh when he looked at the bumpy road. He felt that as a man, he should do something, "Here, let me help you carry the box... Hey, I
What the hell did you put in this?!"
As soon as he put his hands on it, he felt that something was wrong with Lily's box. It was as heavy as if there were equal volumes of cement in it. He, a tall man with a height of five years, couldn't even lift it!
However, Lily didn't notice the strange look on Hao Ren's face at all. She just laughed and picked up her big box with one hand and carried it on her shoulder. The whole process was as easy as grabbing a bag of cotton.
Hao Ren opened his mouth and watched this thin girl, who was a head shorter than him, carrying a box of at least more than 100 kilograms of stuff on her shoulders and walking forward quickly. He almost doubted whether there was something wrong with his world view, until Lily
He was loudly urging him to lead the way before he reacted. As he walked, he muttered: It's okay, he's just born with great strength. He doesn't usually watch variety shows...
The two of them walked like this balabala with some concern, and soon left the relatively wide road and turned into a dark path: from this path to the end is the so-called "White Stone Road", where the Hao Ren family's big house is.
in front of.
The sky has turned dark, and one of the two street lamps beside the path is broken. The surroundings are old and dilapidated old houses, making the atmosphere here even more eerie. If it weren't for the fact that there was a nearly full moon shining in the sky, even Hao Ren would
A grown man who is familiar with the environment will feel uncomfortable walking outside. He couldn't help but glance at Lily who was following him: This girl was still following him unsuspectingly, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
.
The dark night, the sparsely traveled alley, the unfamiliar environment, and being followed by a strange man who doesn't know his background. Any of the above four things are enough to make a girl with normal outlook on guard, but this "Liu Lili" is not the least bit nervous.
None. Is it really a lack of heart or something else?
"Plop la la——"
While Hao Ren was thinking and worrying about a strange girl, a strange sound of flapping wings suddenly came from above.
When the surroundings were quiet, there was a sudden burst of movement, which of course startled him. He immediately looked around and saw a strange black shadow flash across the narrow night sky between the high walls on both sides.
The 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 deliberately shouted loudly to show that he was not scared at all, and then raised his eyes to look at Lily. He thought he would see
The former looked frightened, but...
At that moment, he saw a pair of wolf-like ears suddenly appear on Lily's head!
