She looked excited, and the staff's eyelids jumped hard, "You, are you sure?"

Shi Mu nodded vigorously: "OK, very sure, hurry up, it's best to go through the procedures today."

Seeing her insistence, the staff sighed helplessly and went to contact the owner without saying anything. She sat quietly in the rest area and waited. Not long after, a man in a suit and tie came in from outside while answering the phone.

"Is someone willing to ask for my house?" The man wiped the sweat off his face and hung up his phone.

"Hello Mr. Sun, this is Mr. Shi Mu. He wants to go to your house to see it."

Mr. Sun nodded and looked at the staff: "Have you told him about my situation?"

Before the staff could speak, Shi Mu said, "I know everything, it doesn't matter, I don't mind, because I need a room urgently now. If it works, I want to move in today."

So bold?

Mr. Sun looked shocked. After rolling up and down twice, he walked to Shi Mu, bent down and approached her ear and said, "Young man, I will agree to you first. My house is really haunted, otherwise it wouldn't be rented out so cheaply. You, you have thought about it, if something happens..."

"Just take me to see it." Shi Mu's eyes were calm.

Mr. Sun's lips were whispering, and the hesitation in his eyes was very obvious. On the one hand, he wanted to take off the old house, but on the other hand, he was afraid that something would happen if people moved in. Thinking of the haunted ancestral home, Mr. Sun sighed heavily in his heart.

"Okay, I'll drive you there, Xiao Wang, you won't need it. If you're sure, come here to sign the contract tomorrow."

"OK."

Shi Mu followed Mr. Sun into the silver Volkswagen he drove over.

On the way, Mr. Sun was very silent.

"Can you tell me about the situation there?"

It would be fine if he didn't ask, but when he asked, he frowned tightly, his tone was full of sorrow: "The house is the property left by his ancestors, and later it was distributed to my parents. My father also had a younger brother. My uncle was weak and sick. When my father saw that he was pitiful, he lived with him. A few years later, the uncle got married and had three children. In order to earn this old house, the three of them fought all day long and forced the uncle to make a will.

None of his three sons is easy to deal with. They are idle all day long and are thinking about the little property. My uncle is also a stubborn temper who is not easy to mess with. One day, when he got drunk, the four of them started to make trouble. My uncle lifted a pig-killing knife and cut off all three children. Later, he hung himself under the old locust tree at the door and followed him. I pity my aunt, when she saw her husband going home, the child was gone.

Speaking of this, Mr. Sun's tone was particularly sad: "That community is full of old alleys and cannot be demolished. Our family originally wanted to sell the house to my aunt to save some pension money, but the buyer stopped doing it when he heard about the murder. Later, I thought about renting it out, but strange things came. Only when people came in, they would hear quarrels. At night, the furniture in the living room fell and they would be able to see someone hanging on the tree. I thought that it was the soul of my uncle and cousin who had returned. They were unwilling to give up and were still quarreling after they died."

It was almost time to reach the alley, and Mr. Sun's car slowed down: "Young man, I'll tell you first. There's nothing to do during the day, everyone can go in. Maybe something will happen at night. I've explained everything to you clearly. If you want to stay, I won't stop you, but if something really happens, it has nothing to do with me."

Shi Mu pinched his fingers and counted, and smiled: "You mean there may be four ghosts inside?"

She smiled happily, which made Mr. Sun unable to recover for a long time.

Shi Mu rubbed his hands expectantly: "It's so good, I can have four meals."????

What? What does this guy say?

Finally, I arrived at the house. At the innermost part of the alley, the doors of the residents on both sides were closed. It was obvious that no one had come back for a long time.

"There are all elderly people living in this area. A year ago, my neighbor was taken abroad by his son. It was geographically unrelated and it was even harder to rent it out."

As he said that, Mr. Sun took out the key and opened the lock.

Shi Mu followed him.

The small yard that is in sight is covered with weeds. The old locust tree in the middle covers the sky and looks desolate and gloomy. There is a small side house built on the left, locked, and the windows of the main house are covered with dust, so you can't see the appearance of the house.

After clamping the briefcase under his armpit, Mr. Sun opened a nearly rusty lock.

Crack.

The door is open.

The dust that was thrusting towards him was a little choking. He reached out and waved his hand, went forward to open the window for ventilation.

Shi Mu looked around inside. The two-bedroom and one-living room design had all the furniture, which was 80% new, obviously to rent the newly renovated furniture for the house as soon as possible. She entered the master bedroom and glanced at the dry blood on the wall.

Noting her eyes, Mr. Sun behind her said, "If you are willing to live, I will ask a worker to brush the wall again in the afternoon."

Shi Mu shook his head: "No, I won't stay for a long time."

"You won't stay for a long time?" Mr. Sun was a little surprised.

Shi Mu nodded: "I'm still in school and live on campus from Monday to Friday."

Mr. Sun was even more surprised.

Shi Mu looks very mature, has a calm temperament, and doesn't look like a student at all.

After looking around again, she nodded with satisfaction, "I want to move in today. Do you have any other needs besides the requirements for rental information?"

Shi Mu simply scared Mr. Sun. When he thought of the murder case here, Mr. Sun became even more nervous. He said for a long time: "Let's do this. If you really want to stay, stay here for one night. If nothing happens, you can continue to live. If you want to leave, I won't force you. Do you think it's okay?"

He wanted to get rid of the house as soon as possible, but he was more afraid of accidents happening to others. Compared to the insignificant rent, personal safety is the most important thing.

"Yes, I'll stay here tonight. You can give me a contact information and I'll give you a reply tomorrow morning."

After leaving his mobile phone number, Mr. Sun hurriedly left without looking back.

The smell in the room was really bad. She opened the window and sat alone in a rocking chair under the old vine tree in a daze.

It is very quiet here, and there is no sound of car engines, no hawkers, only insects and cicadas, and the spring is harmonious.

After taking a deep breath, Shi Mu sent Fu Yunshen a WeChat message.

[Mumumumumu: I found the house and I have to clean up today, so I won’t go back.]

[qaq:.]

This ending for the boss is worth pondering.

Shi Mu felt that his ears were starting to burn, and it was probably Fu Yunshen who started scolding her.

With a light cough, Shi Mu continued to edit the text message: [To compensate you, I will invite you and my eldest nephew to have dinner tomorrow.]

[qaq:Oh.]

[Mumumumu:…]

[Mumumumumu: I can ask, what does this mean?]

[qaq:Haha.]

[Mumumumumu: OK, I understand this.]

Fu Yunshen must be scolding her.

"Brother Shen, was it the message Brother Mu sent you?"

"Yes." Fu Yunshen threw down his phone and continued to do math problems.

Zhou Zhi's homework book was as empty as it was at the beginning. He frowned and poked his itchy scalp with a ballpoint pen in his hand: "Didn't Brother Mu say when will he come back? I'm hungry."

The food was not enough for him at noon, and he still couldn't eat it after three packs of snacks. Thinking of Shi Mu's craft last night, Zhou Zhi's stomach was rumbling.

Fu Yunshen paused his pen tip and turned the page to continue writing the question. He did not look up, and his excessively long eyelashes completely covered his slender and beautiful eyes.

After a moment, Zhou Zhi heard him say two words indifferently—

"Eat shit."

Eating shit is very particular.

Zhou Zhi smiled and leaned over without fear of death: "If you dare to pull it, you dare to eat it if you dare to pull it."

Fu Yunshen raised his head.

Fu Yunshen's eyes were full of killing.

Fu Yunshen directly pressed Zhou Zhi on the sofa.

A howl like a pig slaughtering came from the villa again.

Zhou Zhi was very aggrieved and went to find Shi Mu with pain.

Zhou Zhi’s WeChat name is Dad, but Shi Mu changed it to his son.

[Son: Brother Mu, when will you come back!!!]

Shi Mu was cleaning the house when she received Zhou Zhi’s WeChat. She whispered and threw out the bags of garbage, and took the time to reply: “Tomorrow.”

Zhou Zhi said again: "Brother Shen is crazy. If I had known that you were not here, I would have been here. What's the point with him?"

Shi Mu smiled: "Is it interesting for you and me?"

Zhou Zhi said: "That must be better than being with him."

She smiled deeper: "I just found a house and am cleaning up now. I'll let you come tomorrow."

After saying that, put down your phone and continued to clean.

After throwing away the garbage, she went to the nearby supermarket to buy dishwashing detergent and some daily necessities. After cleaning it inside and out, she went to the bedding store to choose a set of mattresses and bedding.

The sun is sunset, and the busy day is already tired as a dog.

The house was almost cleaned, and the rest was to remove the weeds in the yard. She collapsed on the rattan chair, preparing to wait for Zhou Zhi and Fu Yunshen to come over and let them do it tomorrow.

It's nine o'clock now.

Shi Mu placed all the tools used for cooking on the stone table next to him, shook the rattan chair, and quietly waited for dinner to visit.

Crack, Crack...

Above my head, the sound of a hemp rope shaking.
