"Close the door quickly." The woman seemed to know that she looked a little scary, and hurried into the back room.
"Okay." Chen Ge didn't lock the door, leaving a finger-width gap. Before he even entered the room, he had already begun to think about his options.
Standing in the living room with his bag on his back, Chen Ge looked towards the back room. The woman was sitting beside the bed, covered with a thin quilt: "The house is very messy, don't dislike it, just sit wherever you want."
The woman's house wasn't too messy, but there were a lot of medicine bottles thrown around. Chen Ge picked up one at random and looked at it. It was all in English, and he could only recognize a few of it.
"Don't touch my things." The woman whispered. She looked at Chen Ge with a hint of uncertainty in her eyes: "What's in your backpack? I don't think you are here to buy a house."
"Although the bag is broken, all my belongings are inside." Chen Ge said casually: "The location of your house is very good, but the price still needs to be discussed."
"My house has a lot of room for appreciation. If I hadn't been in urgent need of money right now, I wouldn't have sold it at all." The woman's skin was an unhealthy white, which gave people a strange feeling.
"I would like to ask, what disease do you have? You need to buy a house to raise money." Chen Ge didn't come here to buy a house at all, so he started talking nonsense as soon as he came up.
"Cancer." The woman pointed to her face: "Long-term chemotherapy has caused all my hair and eyebrows to fall out."
"Sorry." Chen Ge didn't expect to get such an answer.
"I'm just thinking about how many more days I can live. It's only now that people think about how many more days they can live." The woman sells her house to extend her life. At first glance, it seems right, but
When I think about it carefully, I always feel that there is something wrong.
"Let's talk about the price."
The woman made a big concession, and the price she proposed was 30% lower than similar houses on the market.
"If you agree, I can take the documents to go through the relevant procedures tomorrow."
"I'm not taking advantage of the situation. The price you offered is a bit too high." Chen Ge looked very troubled when he had to do a complete set.
"Is the price still high?"
"I sympathize with your situation, but it's all about the same. I asked about it before I came here. Your house was haunted a few years ago, so that's why it hasn't been sold." Chen Ge patted his backpack: "
I am quite courageous, and I am really short of money, so I thought of selling your haunted house."
The woman knew she was in the wrong, so she asked again: "Then how much are you prepared to pay?"
"One-tenth of the market price, I only have so much money."
"One-tenth?!" The woman was exasperated: "You still said you weren't taking advantage of the situation?"
"After all, that house was haunted. Buying a house is a lifetime event. If I didn't really have no money, I wouldn't buy a haunted house." Chen Ge completely assumed his role. There was a trace of hesitation in his eyes, which seemed to be...
After seeing the woman's situation, I couldn't bear it: "How about we each take a step back? I know you bought the house in exchange for life-saving money. I can ask friends and relatives to borrow it, but the price you offered is too high. I really can't afford it."
.”
Perhaps it was because the house had not been sold for a long time, and the woman was desperate. She was silent for a long time: "One-tenth is too little. My bottom line is half of the market price. If you are willing to ask for it, I will entrust a guarantee company to go there tomorrow."
I'll go through the formalities with you, if you don't want to, forget it."
"Half..." Chen Ge lowered his head, seeming to be distressed.
"Don't listen to other people's nonsense. There has never been any injury to the owner in the community. How could it be haunted?" The woman was half lying on the bed. She noticed that Chen Ge's tone was loose and began to persuade.
"Don't lie to me. The security guard in your community told me personally that he saw a white shadow entering your house a few years ago, and the police later came. You were not at home that night, so you may not know these things."
Chen Ge followed the other party's words and slowly began to ask what he wanted to know.
"How could I not know about my own house?" The woman sighed, with a trace of struggle in her eyes: "Actually, I never wanted to mention this. That Bai Ying is not a ghost."
"It's not a ghost?" Chen Ge's heart suddenly lifted. The whole thing might take an unexpected turn.
"Yes, that white shadow is my sister. She is a mentally ill person who was just taken out of the hospital." The woman looked painful and coughed violently: "My sister did something wrong when she was very young. Her illness
It was also discovered at that time, and she was imprisoned in a mental hospital from then on until she was released four or five years ago."
"What's wrong? Is it serious?" The woman's sister's information basically matched that of the patient in Room 2, and Chen Ge listened more seriously.
"It's very serious. That incident ruined her life." The woman felt sorry for her sister: "My sister's situation is quite special. She is a patient who needs to be isolated for treatment. There is a certain danger. If she is discovered by the police,
She may be forcibly taken away and put back into the hospital."
"So you hid her in your home?"
"My sister has recovered very well after more than ten years of treatment." The woman's tone changed, as if this was an irrefutable question: "How many decades does a person have in his life? She suffered too many things in the first half of her life.
Sin, you should also enjoy your life and enjoy the happiness of being born."
Chen Ge always felt uncomfortable listening to the woman's words: "You hid your sister in your home, but you didn't expect her to run out and scare the neighbors. So is this the truth about the haunting back then?"
"Yes, the so-called hauntings are all made up by those people themselves."
"Then where did your sister go? You are seriously ill now, and she doesn't come to take care of you?"
"I don't know where she went. I haven't seen her since that night." The woman seemed a little helpless: "She is my only relative. Sometimes I will go to Fanghua Garden to visit.
, I hope I can wait for her."
"We are both from the end of the world, and I understand your pain very well. If no one buys it, you can keep your house for me, and I will raise money tomorrow." Chen Ge said it sincerely, and what he was thinking in his heart.
But it temporarily stabilized the woman. Now he urgently needed to confirm another thing.
"Okay, let's see you tomorrow." The woman took the initiative to end the conversation. She seemed a little tired and leaned against the bed very weakly.
"See you tomorrow." Chen Ge stood up and left with his bag on his back.
The moment the door of the apartment building closed, the expressions on the faces of the two people inside and outside the house changed.
Chen Ge stood there and entered the few English words he wrote down on the medicine bottle into his mobile phone.
"As I guessed, this woman has a lot of problems. The medicines in her room have nothing to do with treating cancer. Most of them are medicines that promote wound healing and prevent allergies."
Taking a taxi to Fanghuayuan Community, Chen Ge called Captain Li on the way and told him about Xinkang Apartment.
