Chapter 840: The Innocent Landlord and the Beautiful Tenant (1)

In summer, the noisy cicadas chirped non-stop, and the air seemed to be filled with a heat wave. Even with an umbrella, walking on the street would soon make you sweat.

Under the shade of the trees, the wind could not relieve the heat at all. It was too hot, and the wind was also hot. In such a hot summer season, everyone just wanted to curl up in an air-conditioned room.

Bai Yao was also like this, but now she had to stand under a tree, braving the heat wave, and almost yelled at the person on the phone, "I've already come out with my suitcase, and you're telling me now that you can't sell me the house!?"

The man on the phone said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Miss Bai, the owner had already agreed to sign the contract with you today, and you can move in directly, but something unexpected happened."

"What accident?" Bai Yao said, "Puh!" "Don't tell me someone died in his house!"

The agent said in embarrassment, "Someone did die."

Bai Yao: "...Ah?"

The agent said, "The police found the owner's missing boyfriend was built into the bedroom wall. Now the owner has been arrested and the house has been sealed."

The agent's voice could not help but have some emotions, "Ms. Bai, I have found several houses for you. Every time, either the owner falls unconscious or someone dies in the house. Really, I’m not superstitious, but can you go to the temple to pray?”

At the end, the agent was a little upset. Bai Yao’s family is rich, and when buying a house, she doesn’t look at the price, but only whether it suits her. He thought he had received a big order and was very motivated at work, but he had never encountered such a weird thing in all his years of work!

Wherever Bai Yao went, something went wrong. This young lady seemed to be born with bad luck. Even if he was given more money, he would not dare to do business with her!

But Bai Yao always feels good about herself. Rather than saying that she is wrong, it is better to say that the world is wrong. She snorted nonchalantly, "Don't blame me. When I was a child, my mother took me to the temple to draw lots, and I always got good lots! Since this house doesn't work, you can find me another one."

"No, no, no, I really can't do anything, Miss Bai. My mother called me home to drink soup. I won't talk to you anymore. Goodbye!"

With a "beep", the phone was hung up.

Bai Yao looked at the call end interface on the phone screen, and kicked the tree trunk in anger. The tree didn't move, but her foot hurt.

The sanitation worker who was sweeping the floor next to her was holding a broom and staring at Bai Yao.

Bai Yao realized that her character was not good. She calmly withdrew her foot and touched the tree trunk as if nothing had happened. She muttered, "I just wanted to see if the tree was strong. It's great. It's very strong. It will be fine even if there is a typhoon."

"Miss," the grandfather said, "you are from another place, are you looking for a house to live in?"

Bai Yao looked at the grandfather and nodded, "Yes."

The grandfather took out a crumpled flyer from his pocket, "The houses here are for sale and for rent, you can take a look if you are interested."

This is an advertisement that looks very old. There is a front view of a building in the picture, and the sign hanging on it is "Rose Building". The person who took the photo probably didn't have very good skills, and the building was photographed in pitch black. Only the "瑰" character of the word "玫瑰" was lit, and the character "王" was faintly visible. The only thing that caught people's attention at first glance was the character "鬼".

The moment she got the flyer, Bai Yao, who was standing in the heat, suddenly felt a chill and felt much cooler. For some reason, she decided to go to the address above.

Bai Yao came to Qionghua City this time because the hospital where she was interning in her senior year was here. Her parents were worried about her going away alone and wanted to arrange everything for her, but Bai Yao was about to graduate and thought she was still capable of living independently, so she made many decisions on her own this time.

However, she still shamelessly accepted the pocket money her parents gave her.

After getting off the taxi, Bai Yao looked up at the old building not far away, then turned back to look at the gate of Qionghua City Central Hospital across the street, thinking to herself that this was really a coincidence. If she rented a house, she would rent it here, so that it would be convenient for her to go to and from work every day.

She took out a tissue to wipe the sweat off her forehead, dragged her suitcase in one hand, held the advertising leaflet in the other, and walked into the dim and old-fashioned alley in front of her.

The alleys here are crisscrossed, and even if you follow the navigation, you may not be able to go the right way.

There are boys of seven or eight years old squatting in the alley playing marbles. In the quiet environment, the sound of glass beads colliding together is particularly harsh.

Bai Yao stopped and asked politely: "Little boy, how do I get to Rose Building?"

The boy raised his face, his skin was pale, and his eyes were particularly dark. He stared at Bai Yao for a long time and pointed in a direction: "Go inside, turn left, walk to the end, and turn right at the end."

Bai Yao silently took note and said: "Okay, thank you."

The little boy also replied politely: "You're welcome, Auntie."

Bai Yao's eyelids twitched.

A woman's voice came from the depths of the alley: "Andy, where have you been? Andy!"

The boy grabbed the marbles, got up and ran away.

Bai Yao didn't bother with the child, picked up the suitcase, and walked in the direction the boy pointed. On the other side of the alley, she saw a haggard woman.

The woman was holding a bag of snacks, which must have been just bought. She was calling "Anzi"'s name in a hurry. Fortunately, the boy ran to her side soon. She laughed out loud, squatted down and showed the snacks she just bought to the child.

Bai Yao retracted his gaze and continued to move forward.

"Good afternoon, family members. I am the one who made delicious fried pork with peppers. Starting today, I will broadcast live outdoors for family members!" The woman wearing a mask said to the mobile phone on the stand in front of her, dancing with joy, "Do you know where I am now? I'm in front of the gate of Rose Building!"

She seemed to be in the live broadcast industry. She was obviously on camera, but she still had to wear a mask to cover her face in the middle of summer, as if she was ashamed to be seen, and she didn't feel hot.

"There have always been various ghost stories about the Rose Building. It is said that anyone who walks in will encounter misfortune. Many murders have occurred here. By the way, there was an incident in which a whole family committed suicide by burning charcoal in 405. But someone said that one night when passing by 405, they heard a quarrel coming from inside!"

"No one is there, but there are quarrels coming from inside. This is too weird!"

"Of course, I know a lot of other incidents related to the Rose Building. I have done special investigations. If you want to hear more, don't forget to follow me!" The woman wearing a mask made a heart shape towards the camera, "Family members, I am the one who makes delicious fried pork with peppers. Please follow me! If there are more than 100,000 likes, I will go into the Rose Building and broadcast live to everyone!"
