fire of nowhere

Jiang Wenyao took out the newspaper, repeatedly compared the addresses on the wall, and confirmed that this luxurious community was the Yiyuan community he was looking for.

"Excuse me, where is the seventh unit in the thirteenth building?" Jiang Wenyao politely asked the way to the fat aunt who was carrying a vegetable basket to buy vegetables. While running, he disappeared in a flash.

Jiang Wenyao scratched his head and looked at himself in front of the shiny marble gatepost at the gate of the community. Today he was wearing a white jumper, half-new dark blue jeans, and black sneakers on his feet. With a worn schoolbag.The hair that has not been cut for two months is a bit long, but it is not greasy. The beard has just been shaved and the face has been washed carefully. The whole person stands here, very like a college student who has just left school. For a wretched man.

But he still scared the fat aunt away.

Failed to ask for directions, and there was no one else in sight, so Jiang Wenyao had to call the number on the newspaper.The mobile phone signal of the overage service is not good, and Jiang Wenyao retreated outside the community to barely hear the voice on the other side, "Xiao Jiang, where have you been? I'm waiting for you downstairs!"

Jiang Wenyao said that he didn't know the way, and the man immediately came out to pick him up and asked him to wait at the door.

Are today's landlords so enthusiastic?Jiang Wenyao thought for a while, then smiled lightly, there are still many good people.

Ten minutes later, a short and fat man in his 10s ran out and shook hands with Jiang Wenyao while wiping his sweat: "You are Xiao Jiang, hello, hello, I am the landlord, my surname is Wang, if you don't mind calling me Uncle Wang .”

"Uncle Wang." Jiang Wenyao responded politely, and followed the man into the community.The man took a breath and began to boast about how good his house was and how cheap it was. To be able to rent three bedrooms and one living room in such a high-end neighborhood for 1000 yuan was nothing short of pie in the sky.

Jiang Wenyao thought to himself that the community is really high-end, the building is very new, and the supporting facilities are very comprehensive, but sometimes too comprehensive is not necessarily a good thing. For example, the big chimney that is emitting black smoke all the year round is the second crematorium in the city. There is a cemetery not far behind the crematorium. It is said that even the guards dare not step a step after the sun goes down.

Older people were superstitious and refused to buy such an expensive house in such a location. Younger people lived in it without fear of evil. Usually, the parents didn’t hear a few words. It was all rumors of ghosts in the east and dead people in the west. I have moved a lot, and now the occupancy rate of Yiyuan Community is pitifully low, but the housing prices can't come down, and many people who are not afraid of ghosts can't afford it.

Uncle Wang’s house is located in Unit 901, Unit [-], Building [-]. There are two households on one floor. The master bedroom and the living room toilet face the sun, and the other two bedrooms have good lighting.Jiang Wenyao walked around very satisfied, and was about to discuss with Uncle Wang whether it could be cheaper, but the anti-theft door slammed shut.

Jiang Wenyao blinked, took out three sticks of incense sticks from his backpack and lit them, bowed three times to the empty living room, and muttered something: "My name is Jiang Wenyao, I am living in Guibao today, and I plan to rent this room. If my friend refuses to allow me, I will immediately find a place to live again.”

Jiang Wenyao put the incense sticks on the coffee table, the thin incense sticks stood upright, the light on his head flickered, and the incense sticks that usually burn for half an hour were burned out in a blink of an eye.

Smiling slightly, Jiang Wenyao clasped his fists and said, "Thank you friends here for the hospitality, we will be neighbors from now on."

Jiang Wenyao unscrewed the door, and the door was empty. Jiang Wenyao looked out, and scared Uncle Wang who was looking up tremblingly, so that he rolled down the stairs with a "Oh my god".

Jiang Wenyao: "..."

"Uncle Wang, are you okay?" Jiang Wenyao wanted to help Uncle Wang go to the room to rest and check if he was injured, but Uncle Wang seemed to have seen a ghost, and refused to take a step up the stairs no matter what.Jiang Wenyao was not reluctant, and the two simply stood in the stairwell to negotiate the rent.

100 yuan per month for a house of more than 1000 square meters is indeed not expensive, but Jiang Wenyao is a bachelor, and there is no difference between living in three bedrooms and one living room and one bedroom and one living room. Besides, he has just found a new job and has not officially reported. Put it to use.

I thought that Uncle Wang was an iron-toothed man who would bite the price to death and would not let go. Unexpectedly, as soon as Jiang Wenyao opened his mouth, Uncle Wang would cut the price by himself: "Young man, I think it is not easy for you to be young. How about it, you once Pay for one year, and I will count you 500 yuan a month."

Jiang Wenyao was overjoyed. This is equivalent to buying half a year and getting half a year free. No more hesitation, follow Uncle Wang to sign the contract and pay the rent.

After moving two boxes and a large bag into the new house, Jiang Wenyao was in a good mood. After packing up, he walked straight to the new unit, ready to go through the entry procedures first.His new job is an assistant to the workshop director of a parts production factory, with a monthly salary of [-], which is considered the best in the industry.But in Jiang Wenyao's memory, the parts factory was recruiting people when he changed jobs last time, and they didn't recruit people until he was fired.

Later, when he came for an interview, he found out the reason. The side entrance of the parts factory was next to the gate of the crematorium, standing in the factory yard, with the big chimney right under his eyes.Moreover, the factory often works overtime. The assistant must be present when the workshop director comes. When the workshop director is too lazy to come, the assistant has to be there for the boss. I heard that the previous assistant worked at least ten night shifts a month. After only two months, I was scared to the nerves. Weakened, he would not continue to do anything.

After completing the formalities and confirming that he will go to work next Monday, Jiang Wenyao whistled and went to the vegetable market near the community to buy vegetables. Although no one celebrated the housewarming with him, the first meal after moving in should be richer.I passed by a paper-making shop and bought a few more incense sticks. Since we are neighbors, we should mean it.

Back downstairs in Unit [-], Jiang Wenyao found a yellow and white dog squatting on the edge of the flower bed. At first glance, it looked like a Corgi, but with slightly longer legs, straight ears, and a head that swayed from side to side. What are you looking at.

Is it a stray dog ​​in the neighborhood?Jiang Wenyao smiled friendlyly at the wary gaze of Shangtugou, took out a pack of pig's head meat from the plastic bag, picked out a piece with brittle bones and threw it over.The pig's head rolled twice in the flower bed, and it was covered with dirt.

Earth Dog: "..."

Seeing that the dog didn't move, Jiang Wenyao scratched his head and continued to rummage through the plastic bag. This time he took out a roasted chicken leg.

The native dog wagged its tail, and Jiang Wenyao put the roasted chicken back again.

Earth Dog: "..."

"There are peppers on the chicken legs, you can't eat it," Jiang Wenyao explained while changing a box of luncheon meat and shaking it in front of the dog, "Do you want to eat this?"

Earth Dog: "..." Are you going to let me eat the iron box by myself!

"Don't eat it?" Jiang Wenyao was completely out of control. He tied all the ingredients on his left wrist with a buckle, picked up the dog with his right hand, and discussed like a child, "Why don't you come home with me and want to eat it?" What daddy will do for you?"

Earth Dog: "..." Can I vote against it?Also, who are you dad!Are you so cheap! !

Jiang Wenyao couldn't hear the native dog's inner monologue, so he hugged it happily and returned to his new home. As soon as he stood at the door, the native dog shook violently. Jiang Wenyao took out the key while it was stiff, and quickly opened the door.

"Son, we're home!" Jiang Wenyao threw the things into the kitchen, and went straight to the bathroom with the dog in his arms. The dog still maintained a stiff posture, ignored him, and didn't even complain.

"Be good, my father and I take a bath first, and after the bath, Dad will cook something delicious for you." Jiang Wenyao whistled and turned on the shower head, and took off himself completely while the cold water was running.As soon as the earth dog turned his head, he looked at the white man, and the whole dog was not well.

The earth dog was debating whether to run off directly or run after taking a shower and having a meal, when there was a slight sound of the door opening at the entrance, the earth dog turned its ears, and swept its tail calmly at the door of the bathroom, followed by fluttering happily Going to Jiang Wenyao's feet, rolling around and begging to take a bath.

Jiang Wenyao was trembling at the cute heart of the earth dog, picked it up and kissed it, and slowly poured warm water on the dog with a plastic basin.The dirt dog was clean, except for some dirt on its paws and buttocks, which should have been rubbed in the garden.Wash the dog with clean water, Jiang Wenyao whistled again: "Son, my dad will buy you shampoo tomorrow, so wash it with clean water first." After speaking, let the dog flop around in the basin , Jiang Wenyao quickly took a shower under the shower head.

……

Duan Rongfeng checked along the building from top to bottom, and finally stopped at the door of Room 901.Many residential buildings in Yiyuan District are surrounded by Yin Qi, among which the thirteen buildings where thirteen murders occurred in a row are even more Yin Qi. Duan Rongfeng went around every unit and found that the seventh unit has the most Yin Qi.No wonder, eight of them died within half a year, so it's good if it hasn't changed into a ghost building.

According to the data, there are still seven families who have not moved out of this 36-storey building with a total of 901 units. Duan Rongfeng checked all the unoccupied houses, but he didn't come across any wandering souls.Just as he was wondering, Room [-] answered his doubts. Through the anti-theft door, he felt a strong yin energy, and he thought there would be many ghosts in the room.

Duan Rongfeng remembered that there was no one living in this house, so he directly used the universal key to pry open the door. As soon as the door was opened, the condensed Yin Qi rushed towards his face. Duan Rongfeng dodged backflips. The luxurious decoration disappeared out of thin air, replaced by dilapidated blanks, and on the dilapidated sofa, three men and a woman sat four expressionless ghosts covered in blood.

The appearance of Duan Rongfeng disturbed the chatting of the ghosts, the pretty face of the female ghost instantly collapsed, black blood overflowed from the eyes, and the stench filled the whole room.The female ghost screamed, her fingers were like hooks, and she rushed towards Duan Rongfeng.

Duan Rongfeng dexterously dodged the female ghost's attack, but unexpectedly the female ghost came to a sudden stop, her body floated in mid-air and turned sharply, stretching out her arms, her long nails wrapped in strong winds grabbed Duan Rongfeng in front of her, and was swept away by the wind. His cheeks were slightly red and a little sore.

The female ghost gained the upper hand with one blow, and the three male ghosts on the sofa showed joy, and got up one after another to join the battle group.

The situation was not good. Duan Rongfeng leaned on the wall with his left hand and pushed it with his left hand. He was holding a gleaming talisman in his right hand and was about to paste it on the female ghost. Suddenly, the closed bathroom door opened. Shuo, a man with only a towel around his waist came out.

In the man's arms was a dirt dog that was struggling hard and seemed to be preventing him from coming out.

The four ghosts disappeared in an instant, and they didn't know where to hide.

Duan Rongfeng held up the talisman paper, but there was no place to stick it, and there was no place to put it, so he froze for a while.

Jiang Wenyao: "..."

Earth Dog: "..."

Jiang Wenyao: "Who are you and how did you get into my house?"

The earth dog covered its face with its front paws—it was over, this time it was a big fuss.
