Arknights is too real, right?

Of course, Xia Feng had no purpose in asking these questions. To put it bluntly, it was just pure chatting. We would all be neighbors from now on, and it would be a good thing to have some understanding, but he didn't have the leisure time to mind other people's family affairs.

"By the way, Ergou, how long has your house been vacant?"

"No one has rented it for almost a year."

"I think your house is quite good. Although the location is not great, it is not unrented. Why did your mother raise the price so high? Isn't it more cost-effective than renting it out empty?"

Ergou wiped away the runny nose.

"Lao Xia, you didn't live in the Kilt neighborhood before, right?"

"It's not true. I just came here a few days ago. Wait, don't call me Lao Xia!"

Ergou snatched the football from Xia Feng's hand and patted it on the ground casually a few times.

"My mother didn't tell me why the price is so high, but I know that even if the price is lowered, no one will rent. Even if someone rents, they will still leave before long. In this case, it is better to ask for a higher price and spend more money. After paying so much money, the tenants will not leave easily.”

"kindness?"

Hearing this, Xia Feng immediately became alert. Ergou's words contained a lot of information.

"Ergou, what do you mean by this?"

"That's just the superficial meaning. Although you seem very happy now, I guess you will leave in a while."

Xia Feng swallowed and asked a probing question.

"Um, Ergou, is there something wrong with your house? Has anyone died?"

This is the first possibility that Xia Feng thinks of. Those who can rent such a house usually do business. Although he does not believe in ghosts and gods, there are some things in the world that are really unclear. If this is the case, it will really lead to No matter how nice the house is, no one cares about it.

Ergou shook his head.

"No, my house is fine."

"Oh? What's the problem?"

"There is a problem with this street, to be precise, this section at the end of the street."

Ergou pointed at the first fork in the far side of the street, roughly outlining the area.

Xia Feng's current position is basically at the end of the street. The distance between the two dogs is probably close to a hundred meters, which means that this 100-meter street is what he calls the "problem".

Indeed, it was okay not to mention it. Xia Feng immediately noticed something unusual. There were obviously fewer shops in this section of the street. Not only were there shops, but there were also few households. Nearly half of the houses were empty.

"Um, Ergou, tell me, what's wrong with this street?"

Ergou looked mysterious.

"Lao Xia, do you know what the locals call this section of our street?"

"What?"

"They call this the Street of Hundred Ghosts."

"Huh? Why?"

Ergou kicked the football out of his hand. The football rolled to the middle of the empty road and stopped. It did not affect the traffic at all, because even during the day, the street was still deserted.

Xia Feng's eyes followed the football and drifted into the distance. At this time, Ergou's voice came from his ears.

"Because this street is haunted at night, ah!"

After saying this, Ergou suddenly yelled in his ear, frightening Xia Feng's whole body.

"Damn, you kid is teasing me!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Ergou opened his legs and ran away with a mean smile.

I was actually fooled by a child. The key is that I asked them seriously, why? It’s really embarrassing just thinking about it.

Ergou's house was next to Xia Feng's headquarters. The front door was not closed at this time, so Xia Feng walked in without knocking.

There was no one in the sales room in front, so Xia Feng walked to the yard behind and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Landlady!"

"Who is it?"

A rough female voice immediately came from the second floor behind the yard. Ergou’s mother poked her head out from the balcony, saw the summer breeze in the yard, and said immediately.

"What are you doing? Who let you enter my house?"

"We are all neighbors. I came in when your door was open."

The charterer stood on the second floor and looked at Xia Feng solemnly.

"What's the matter with you? Want to check out? It's impossible. It's clearly written in the contract. Now you have to refund at most one-tenth of your rent."

"No, no, I'm not checking out. I want to discuss something with you. You come down first."

When she heard that Xia Feng would not check out, her attitude became kind.

"Wait, I'll be down soon."

Later, Xia Feng expressed his intention to her and wanted to ask her if she had any temporarily unused furniture that could be borrowed or rented, such as tables, chairs, benches, sofas and coffee tables, as long as he could use them.

"That's it. Sister Li, do you have one at your home?"

"Yes, come with me."

There was a warehouse-like house on the side of the yard. When he opened the door, Xia Feng found a lot of debris piled inside, including some furniture.

"These are all left by the previous tenants. I have disposed of the ones that are too shabby. I feel that everything here can still be used. You can move in and use it if you need it. You don't have to pay. You just need to return it to me when you leave." Just stay where you are.”

"Sister Li, thank you so much. I will move with my elder brother soon."

Although these furniture are not of a fashionable style, there is still no problem in using them. This can save a lot of money. In addition to being happy, Xia Feng also changed the name of the charterer from "Sister Li" to "Sister Li". Sister Li.

Sister Li waved her hand.

"No need to thank you. Neighbors take care of each other. By the way, I haven't asked you what kind of business you plan to do."

This question really stopped Xia Feng. After thinking about it, he could only reply.

"Our business may be very complicated and involves a wide range of things."

Sister Li showed a serious expression, like a class teacher asking students whether they went to the Internet cafe.

"What you are going to do cannot be illegal."

"this"

To violate the law or not, that is the question.

Sister Li suddenly laughed.

"Forget it, I'm kidding you. You don't dare to do anything illegal when you look like this. Work hard. As long as you can stay here for one year, I will lower the rent for you next year."

"Well, thank you."

Before leaving, Xia Feng suddenly remembered what Ergou had just said.

"By the way, Sister Li, why does this street look so deserted? I don't think there are many inhabited houses nearby."

Sister Li was stunned for a moment.

"Your name is Xia Feng, right? You didn't live in the Gilt neighborhood before, right?"

Why do these words seem so familiar?

Xia Feng nodded.

"I'm really not familiar with the Guilt neighborhood."

"Okay, let me tell you, do you know what the people living nearby call our street? They call it Baigui Street."

Xia Feng immediately interrupted Sister Li.

"Wait a minute, you said this is called Hundred Ghost Street, is it because this street is haunted at night?"

"Look, don't you know this? Then why are you asking me?"

Xia Feng's expression was as complicated as if he had swallowed a mouse alive.

"I just found out about it, I thought it was fake."

Sister Li had a mysterious face, and that expression was carved from the same mold as Ergou's expression just now.

"No, no, no, this is not false, this is true, and let me remind you in advance that the people living on this street are very strange. Of course, if you are not strange, you will not dare to live on this street. You said right."

"Yes, yes, that makes sense."

There was nothing wrong with Sister Li's words, but Xia Feng always felt it was strange, as if she meant what she was saying.

No normal person living on this street is either fearless of ghosts or gods, or has his head kicked by a donkey.

Xia Feng didn't know what kind of person he was, but Sister Li seemed to classify him as the latter, just like her previous tenants.
