I asked, "Are you the owner here? Or are you just a tenant?"
When I asked this question, Boss Li's face changed drastically after hearing this. He pointed at the atmosphere and said, 'Why are you talking like this young man? I'm not the boss here, am I a liar? Look at what this is!'
Boss Li's face turned red. He stood up and took out a small, stiff notebook from the back room and handed it to me. I opened it and saw that the owner of the house was Li Rong on the real estate certificate. There was also a photo of the person in front of me.
Jean, it seems that I misunderstood, but why does Boss Li look weird?
I smiled a little awkwardly and said, "Boss Li, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I see you are so anxious to rent out the house. Is there anything wrong with the house?"
I just asked casually. Unexpectedly, Boss Li seemed to be frightened, his eyes were red, and he almost started crying. Xiaobai glared at me and said: "Boss Li, don't worry, my friend is just suspicious, and she is also suspicious."
Not intentional!"
Judging from Boss Li's appearance, I should be right.
After a while, Boss Li calmed down and said to Xiaobai and me: "If you two can pay three years' rent at once, I will give you 50,000 yuan free. If you think it is OK, we will sign the contract. No."
Just pull it!"
I calculated it, and it turned out that it was 250,000 yuan in three years, and more than 80,000 yuan a year, which was not bad. I nodded and said, "It seems that Boss Li is in urgent need of money, so that's okay! Let's go back and discuss it, and we'll give you an answer tomorrow."
!”
"No, I have to reply today. I can't wait until tomorrow!" Boss Li's attitude was unusually firm. I didn't understand what she meant.
He asked: "Boss Li, has something happened at home? You need money urgently or something? You are not renting a house to buy cigarettes. It is a matter of hundreds of thousands. We should think about it. Why are you so anxious!"
After hearing this, Boss Li sighed and said: "You are a smart boy, you have seen through everything. I really need money urgently, 300,000, to treat my daughter. My husband died early, so I will open this store by myself."
My daughter, but I don’t know what happened a few days ago, my daughter suddenly fell ill. No matter how she went to the hospital, she couldn’t be found out. She had no energy and had a headache. I have no choice but to rent out this store and take it.
I haven’t saved much money over the years to pay for my daughter’s medical treatment in a big city. I’ve heard people say that hundreds of thousands are not enough to see a doctor in a big city hospital.”
After speaking, Boss Li began to wipe away tears again.
Xiaobai and I were a little at a loss after hearing this. I didn’t know whether what Boss Li said was true or not. There are all kinds of people in this society. My mother often told me that it is necessary to be on guard against others outside, so no matter what
Whatever I do, I keep an eye on it.
So I said to Boss Li: "Boss Li, you are also doing nothing. You can't fully believe in ghosts and gods, and you have to not believe them. Xiaobai and I know a little bit about this stuff, so we might as well give it a look.
, maybe you won’t have to spend the three hundred thousand!”
Boss Li hesitated for a while and said, "You two are kind-hearted. In fact, I have seen fortune tellers before. I spent a lot of money, but it was of no use at all. You two are young and you should forget it!"
Xiaobai obviously understood what I meant and immediately went on to say: "We don't charge any money, let's see if it doesn't take long, the doctor might be able to cure you!"
"What are you talking about? You're treating a dead horse like a living doctor. My brother doesn't know how to use words. Don't be surprised. I think you can understand what he means!"
Xiaobai smiled awkwardly.
Boss Li seemed a little moved after hearing this. After a while, he nodded and said: "Since you are so kind, I will take you to see it! But let's talk about the ugly things first. If you have a way to cure it, just tell me. If there is no way, just tell me."
It can’t be cured, and it can’t be treated blindly on my daughter!”
"That's natural!" I laughed.
Boss Li locked the shop and drove Xiaobai and me in a dilapidated van towards her home.
The car drove for more than half an hour and stopped in a shabby-looking community. After getting off the car, I looked at the surrounding environment and found that this place was really shabby, even worse than the resettlement community I lived in before.
Sorry, the buildings here look old, and the bricks on the walls are starting to peel off.
Boss Li locked the car, pointed to the unit door in front of him and said: 'This is the building. I live on the third floor. Come up with me!'
The stairway is very narrow and dark, and there are many debris in the corridor. The door is also rusty, and you can hear a harsh squeaking sound when you open it.
I am very allergic to this kind of sound. When I hear the sound of metal friction, I can't help but get goosebumps.
As soon as the door opened, I smelled a strange smell. I couldn't tell what it was. It was like the space had been closed for a long time and the air had become moldy. If I smelled it carefully, I could smell a particularly weak smell of blood.
taste.
When I saw Xiaobai sniffing, I knew he wasn't used to the smell either.
Boss Li invited us in. The house was a bit messy. A woman had a child and was busy working in the store. Naturally, she didn't have time to clean the house. This is understandable.
Boss Li brought a cup of tea to Xiaobai and me and said: 'You guys will work for a while, and I will go into the house to see my daughter. She is afraid of strangers, so I will talk to her first.'
After speaking, Boss Li went into the bedroom inside. Although the room was small and a bit messy, the furniture in the room was quite complete, including a TV, sofa, refrigerator, air conditioner, and coffee table.
There are several potted plants in the corner of the living room. One pot is an orchid, which is drooping, and the other pot looks like a flower, but I have never seen it look very energetic. It's just that the location usually doesn't get sunlight.
Why would Boss Li put the flower pot in that position?
Just when I was feeling strange, Xiaobai suddenly asked me: "Lao Du, have you ever smelled a faint smell of blood in this room?"
I was stunned for a moment after hearing this. I also smelled the smell of blood when I first came in, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Now that Xiaobai suddenly said this, I felt a little strange.
Xiaobai sniffed and suddenly pointed in the direction of the flower pot and said, "It came from there!"
I felt it carefully, and sure enough, it was closer to the flowerpot. The smell of blood was very strong, which was a bit strange. One of the two pots of flowers was wilted and the other was very lush. I walked forward and took a look.
, the soil in the unknown flowerpot turned out to be brown.
Moreover, the smell of blood was particularly strong. Xiaobai asked me: "Have you seen this flower? Why do I feel that this flower is a little evil! You see, the meridians on it are the same as human blood vessels, and there is blood in the soil. Could this flower be made of blood?
Come and raise it!”
I was also stunned. This was the first time I had seen this kind of flower. The leaves were wide, the rhizome was thick, and there was a bud in the middle. It was as red as a rose, but it was neither a rose nor a rose. This flower seemed a bit familiar.
Which book did I read it in? I can't remember it for a while.
At this time, Boss Li came out of the house, and I asked: 'Boss Li, what is the name of this flower? Why have I never seen it before? It's very beautiful!'
When Boss Li saw the two of us standing by the flower pot studying the flowers, he said: 'This was given by a customer. I don't know its name. Xiaoling is awake. You two should go in and take a look!'
Xiaobai and I nodded and followed Boss Li into the house.
The furnishings of the house are very simple, with some basic things, but they are neatly arranged. A girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old is sitting on the bedside. I looked at her back. She is very thin, with frighteningly white skin, as if she has anemia.
Likewise, his hair was a bit withered and yellow, and there was a smell of blood in the room.
Boss Li called Xiaoling and then said: "Xiaoling, these two are my friends. Come and see you. Talk to them!"
The woman turned around when she heard the sound, and I saw her face was startled. There was no blood on her face at all, even her lips were white, and her eyes almost protruded from their sockets.
Xiaoling smiled at me and Xiaobai and said, 'Hello, my name is Xiaoling! I'm not in good health, and my mother has been taking care of me and not letting me leave the house, which makes you laugh!'
I smiled awkwardly and nodded.
Boss Li turned around and asked me: 'Mr. Du, did you see anything?'
I nodded, walked up to Xiaoling and said to her: "Can you show me your hand?"
Xiaoling was a little surprised and looked back at her mother. Boss Li nodded. Xiaoling then stretched out the hand she had been holding in front of me, and then slowly opened it. I took one look and felt a chill down my spine.
Xiaoling's skin was completely bloodless, except for the dense red dots on her palms. My mind was buzzing, and I immediately stood up and asked Boss Li: "Do you know what the flower in your house is called?"
Boss Li shook his head in surprise, as if he didn't understand my reaction.
Xiaobai also looked at me with a puzzled look on his face and said: 'What are you doing? I asked you to treat people, what do you want to do with those flowers!'
I shook my head and said, "That flower is called Minghua or Blood Flower. This kind of flower is generally only found in the Miao border. The person who gave you the flower wanted to harm your daughter! Have you offended him?"
Boss Li's eyes widened after hearing this, and he asked me puzzledly: "You said my daughter's illness was caused by this flower?"
I turned around and saw Xiaoling's eyes flashing a strange red color, and my heart tightened. I didn't expect that Xiaoling had been controlled to such an extent.
Sure enough, I was too anxious to speak, so Xiaoling covered her head and started crying: "If you sue me, I'll get out, I have a headache, mom, let them go quickly! They are bad people and are here to harm me!"
I sneered: "You are the one who wants to harm people! Boss Li, hurry up and find some black blood!"
When Boss Li saw that his daughter was sick, he suddenly became anxious and didn't even pay attention to what I was saying. He hurriedly came over to take care of her daughter!
I grabbed Boss Li and said to her: "Don't worry about her. She is not your daughter now. If you listen to me and want to save your daughter, then quickly find Black Dog Blood. This flower is about to bloom. Once it blooms, you
My daughter is dead!'
Boss Li was stunned when I said this and asked me stammeringly: "You didn't lie to me?"
I looked back at the flower bud, which was as red as a ball of blood.
I nodded heavily.
Xiaobai patted me on the shoulder and said, "Look at them, I'll go!"
With that said, he walked out the door.
Boss Li shouted at Xiaobai's back: "There is a vegetable market to the west of the community, there is one there!"
Xiaoling, who was rolling on the bed, let out a strange scream in her throat, then suddenly sat up, her eyes turned blood red, staring straight at me, her eyes seemed to have endless hatred for me.
Boss Li was also frightened. Seeing his daughter in such a terrible state, he started to cry.
I pulled Boss Li tightly to keep her away from Xiaoling. Xiaoling stared at me for a while and then started covering her head, as if she was in an extremely entangled state.
I said to Boss Li: "There is no need to lock her up. If you touch her now, you will only harm her. If you want to save her, just listen to me. This Minghua is grown from the souls of dead people. Is your daughter?
Watered this flower with blood?"
Boss Li nodded: "Half a month ago, my daughter accidentally cut her hand while cooking, and the blood dripped into the flower pot!"
"That's right. Once this underworld flower absorbs human blood, it will bloom into buds. Even if it is no longer watered with human blood in the future, it will automatically absorb human blood. Just now, Xiaobai smelled the smell of this flower when he entered the room.
The smell of blood fills the room! Have you seen the bright red bud? It’s filled with your daughter’s blood. Once the bud opens, your daughter’s body will be occupied by the ghost in the flower. The real Xiao Ling will
Will die!"
After hearing this, Boss Li collapsed on the ground.
I helped Boss Li up and continued to ask her: 'Who have you offended? They would actually use such vicious methods to harm you!'
"I didn't expect it, and I didn't offend him. After his wife died, he came to my shop to buy paper money, fire paper wreaths and so on. He also made a lot of paper cars and paper houses and spent a lot of money. I
I thought he was just an ordinary customer, but unexpectedly, he came to my store again later and said that he saw how nice I was and it was not easy to raise a child alone. His wife also died and he was single, so he wanted to get along with me.
, I saw this man’s wife died just a month ago and I wanted to find her. I was afraid that he was unreliable, so I refused. At that time, he left without saying anything. Three days later, he drove a pot of flowers in his car and said that he didn’t like it.
Forcing others, but they really like me, but their feelings cannot be forced, so they gave me a pot of flowers as a souvenir! I was very touched when I heard that, and the flower pot was pretty, so I accepted it, and that person has been with me ever since.
Never been here!”
Boss Li said while crying.
I felt chills after hearing this. It is really hard for me to understand how people can be so afraid that they would put people to death just because they rejected him.
