It was also the first time she saw that the person who came to solve the problem was less anxious than her.
She could only say, "Tell me about the strange things you encountered first."
The three of them quickly said "oh" and then pushed out one of the boys with the best eloquence to speak out about those things.
The boy with the best eloquence was named Zhang Yang. His personality was just like his name, outspoken and unrestrained. But when he thought about the strange things he had encountered in the past week, he couldn't help but shudder even when he recalled them.
"The story begins on the first night we moved in..."
Zhang Yang and his two roommates Wang Peng and Zhao Guang arrived at the rental house on the same day.
After a new year, and with their internships about to begin, the three of them were full of energy.
Seeing that the rental house had not been occupied for a long time and there was a lot of dust everywhere, the three of them decided to do a thorough cleaning of the rental house together.
When they came, they had already told the landlord in advance and told him that they were going to clean, and asked him what they could not move.
After all, they are renting someone else's house, so if there are some things that cannot be moved, they should pay attention to it in advance to avoid any conflicts between the two parties in the future.
It turned out that the landlord was more approachable than they had expected. He told them in a generous manner that they could do whatever they wanted with anything in the house except the altar in the utility room.
Zhang Yang and his family were looking for a house by renting it directly from the landlord on Xiaodigu, as this would save them the agency fee. They also knew from the landlord's Xiaodigu account that he seemed to be from Fujian Province. They heard that people there believed in gods and Buddhas very much, so it was normal for them to have an altar at home to worship gods and the like.
However, Zhang Yang and his friends did not believe this, mainly because they had never encountered anything like this before, and they were young and energetic, so they felt they were not afraid of anything.
The three of them didn't react when they learned that there was an altar in the landlord's utility room. Seeing that they were not opposed to it, the landlord asked them a little embarrassedly, saying that he would trouble them to burn incense for him every week and place a few offerings. He would deduct the money for the offerings directly from the rent.
The landlord took them to see the house before the New Year and then handed them the keys. He went out of town to do something and hasn't returned yet.
Zhang Yang and the others thought, it’s just burning incense and placing a few offerings, it’s a simple thing and not troublesome.
In addition, the landlord had been so generous to them before and had lowered their rent. In order to give them a suitable residence, he would rather keep the house for them for another month and not let anyone else rent it.
The landlord is so generous and righteous, so it’s natural for them to help him with a small favor.
So both parties agreed on this. After Zhang Yang and the others finished cleaning their respective rooms, it was almost dark.
The three of them quickly went out to have dinner, then remembered what the landlord said and went to buy a bunch of incense and two pounds of apples.
When the three of them were carrying their things and chatting and laughing back to the rental house, before they took out the key to open the door, they heard some noise coming from the house.
Zhang Yang was stunned, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, so he asked Wang Peng and Zhao Guang.
"Did you hear any noise coming from inside the house?"
The reason why Zhang Yang suspected that he had heard it wrong was, of course, because there was no one in the room!
They locked the door when they went out.
Could it be that a thief sneaked in while they were eating?
Wang Peng and Zhao Guang also seemed to hear some noise, but they didn't quite believe that there was anyone in the house.
"Maybe something was blown down by the wind."
The weather was still cold and windy at night, so they didn't close the windows when they went out to give the house more air.
When you think about it this way, it seems possible.
The sound just now didn't sound like something being blown over, but rather like a drawer being opened.
Zhang Yang was still a little cautious. When he opened the door, he did not go in immediately. Instead, he quickly turned on the light at the door and carefully scanned the situation in the room.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the trash can in the living room tilted on the ground.
It seems that he had indeed heard it wrong. It was probably not the sound of a drawer being opened, but the sound of a trash can being blown over by the wind.
The three of them entered the house. Zhang Yang was carrying the incense and apples and was about to go to the storage room when he heard Wang Peng's surprised voice.
"Hey, why is the kitchen drawer open?"
None of the three of them could cook, and they were sure not to set foot anywhere in the kitchen except the refrigerator, so they naturally didn't waste time and energy cleaning the various cabinets and drawers in the kitchen.
It's not like they really like cleaning.
So they have never touched the various storage cabinets in the kitchen. It should look the same as it did when the landlord brought them here.
That row of lockers should have been closed before they left.
Suddenly, I found that the door of a small cabinet was opened?
Wang Peng retracted his gaze and subconsciously asked Zhang Yang and Zhao Guang: "Did you two go to the kitchen to open the cabinet when you left just now?"
Zhang Yang and Zhao Guang both shook their heads and said they did not go to the kitchen.
Wang Peng was dumbfounded.
"Ah? Could it be that it was blown away by the wind again?"
The wind was too strong, and the direction of the wind was very strange, otherwise how could it have blown open the cabinets under the stove?
But it wasn't opened by them, and it seems that the only possibility is that it was blown open by the wind.
Wang Peng didn't think much about it and closed the cabinet door obediently.
Zhao Guang returned to his bedroom. As soon as he turned on the light, he was surprised to find that his suitcase had been opened, and even his underwear, which was hidden at the bottom, was turned on top!
It is placed on top of the table as if for display.
Zhao Guang: “?”
No, he doesn't have such a habit!
Zhao Guang finally realized that something was wrong.
When he left, he made sure his suitcase was securely put away. Although it was not locked, it was covered.
Moreover, the three of them left together, and they did not leave the house when they ate or bought things.
So it is impossible that Zhang Yang and Wang Peng came in and searched his suitcase.
Since it's not them, there is only one possibility.
"Oh no, there's a thief here!"
Realizing this, Zhao Guang stood up and ran to the living room.
While running, he hurriedly reminded Zhang Yang and Wang Peng.
"You two, be careful. Don't go into other rooms yet. There must be a thief here. Who knows, the thief might be hiding!"
Although thieves and robbers are rampant during the Chinese New Year, there are usually more thefts in the days before the New Year when thieves and thieves also want to get some money to go home for the New Year.
It would be better after the New Year, after all, it is possible that the money stolen before the New Year has not been spent yet, or the thief has returned to his hometown.
But not everything is necessarily the case.
Look, a thief broke into their rental house!
Zhao Guang was certain that his suitcase was definitely opened by a thief.
There was no way the wind could be so strong that it could flip his suitcase over, especially his underwear on top.
Zhang Yang and Wang Peng also became nervous when they heard him shout.
The two of them didn't even dare to go back to the bedroom and quickly ran to the living room to gather.
The three of them gathered together, looking nervously and angrily at the three rooms whose doors were still closed.
Two of them are Zhang Yang and Wang Peng's bedrooms.
The two of them had just returned. One went to the kitchen to put happy water in the refrigerator, while the other was carrying incense and apples and preparing to go to the utility room.
The other door that has not been opened yet is the utility room.
I don't know whether the thief is smart or not. If he is not smart, which of the three rooms would he hide in?
The three of them thought about it and wondered, how could they, three young and strong guys, not be able to beat a little thief?
So the three of them were so determined that some took the broom, some took the mop, and some even carried a chair. They took the tools in their hands and started checking the three rooms one by one.
However, they checked Zhang Yang and Wang Peng's bedrooms but still couldn't find the thief.
That leaves only a utility room.
They opened the utility room in the afternoon and found it was a small room of only three or four square meters. It didn't even have any windows and was narrow and dark.
There was also an altar inside, and on the altar there was a statue of a god whose name they could not pronounce.
As soon as the door was opened, the statue was facing the door, staring straight at Fang Qi, which was actually quite scary.
Zhang Yang was frightened before. At first glance, he thought there was a person hiding in the house. Later, when he turned on the light, he found that it was just a statue.
The three of them opened the door and carefully checked the utility room, but still saw no one.
All the houses were checked, but no thief was found. It seemed that the thief had slipped away before they returned home.
But the door lock was not damaged, which proves that the thief has unique lock-picking skills. The door lock has been broken by him and is no longer safe.
Zhang Yang and his friends quickly contacted the landlord, told him what happened, and expressed their desire to change the door lock.
When the landlord heard this, he immediately asked them if they were okay. He also said that this was an old neighborhood after all, and it was true that thieves would happen, and there was really nothing he could do about it.
As for Zhang Yang and the others' request to change the door locks, the landlord immediately agreed and actively stated that he would pay for the replacement and would definitely not let anything happen to them.
This landlord is really kind.
Zhang Yang and the others had a better impression of him.
Because it was too late that day and it was not convenient to change the door lock, they decided to go to bed first and find someone to change the door lock early the next morning.
After quickly packing up, the three of them quickly returned to their respective rooms.
As a result, in the middle of the night, Zhang Yang vaguely felt someone moving beside his bed.
(Waving my handkerchief to ask for free gifts, there were too few gifts yesterday (╥﹏╥)
