On the east side of the road north of Xuanwu Hospital, most of the two bungalows facing the street were demolished. The rented ones were built, and the tobacco hotels, restaurants, bath centers, etc. The alley behind was a large bungalow area with a poor environment. The environment was mainly due to a vegetable market and many small restaurants that were not very hygienic. Every night, the food stalls and mutton skewers made it a little bit like itchy.

I ate noodles at a Malan Ramen Restaurant in the alley. I wiped my sweat with a napkin. I got up and returned to the main road. I walked into the yard next to a cigarette stand. This courtyard is not called a courtyard. It is not a square pattern. It may be due to the size of the space, and the courtyard has been built in a slender shape, about 100 meters, with jujube and poplar trees inside. Due to the growth of many trees, many of the trunks are crowded with two rows of people standing on the left and right sides, which is quite dangerous.

I stood in the yard and looked forward, one household on the left and the other on the right, and a rough count, there were about twenty households living there.

At this time, the door of the third house in the right row creaked open. A little old lady walked out with a ticking mop cloth, looked at me suspiciously, but without saying a word, passed by me, walked to a pile of butterflies in front of the yard that had not been burned last year, poked the mop cloth onto the transparent plastic cloth covering the honeycomb coal. She turned around and walked back.

"Auntie." I stopped her, "Hello, I would like to ask, is there a lady named Wang in our yard?"

It may be a little inappropriate for me to ask this question. After all, people are very cautious nowadays, but maybe I heard that my accent is from Beijing, and the aunt didn't care too much: "The surname is Wang? How old?"

I hesitated: I look like I am in my early forties."

The aunt said oh, and casually tilted her lips: "She, what are you asking for her?"

I said, "I want to rent a house, introduced by Yiren."

The aunt seemed to have a bad relationship with Ms. Wang. She pointed her hand opposite: "It's this room, you may be out now. You'll be back later." After that, the aunt turned around and walked back.

Thank you.”

What she was referring to was the first resident on the left side of the courtyard gate. At this time, the wooden door was closed and a dirty yellow curtain hung on the glass above, so it was impossible to see inside.

I took two steps forward and knocked on her door. No one responded. It seemed that I was really out of here. Helplessly, I left the yard and went to the side of the road to buy a bottle of iced mineral water. Gulu Gulu was drinking and waiting.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, at the hottest time of the day, a middle-aged woman pushing a bicycle walked past me and pushed a cart into the yard. I once met Ms. Wang on TV once. Although I couldn't remember what she looked like, the man looked very familiar just now. I was suspicious for a moment and threw the empty mineral water bottle into the trash can made of paint buckets at the door, and quickly followed into the yard.

"Hey! Whose mop is this? Why are you putting it here again?" The middle-aged woman kicked the bicycle and said unhappy: "There is also the broom, who should take it back from whom! What's the matter at our doorstep! Don't let me still have the trash can!"

The door of the three houses on the left, that is, the house opposite the aunt's house, opened. A middle-aged man frowned and stood at the door: "I tell you, don't touch my broom, it's not your place, it's a public area!"

The surname Wang? It’s probably impossible to make a mistake!

Ms. Wang said hatefully: "I will tell you too! When I come out later, I will look at the broom and there again! I will throw it on the road!"

After locking the bicycle, Ms. Wang snorted, turned around and took out the key and stabbed it into the first door on her left.

It can be seen that the neighborhood relationship in this courtyard is very unharmonious.

"May I ask," I looked at Ms. Wang's back and said, "Are you Aunt Wang?"

Crack, Ms. Wang, who had just opened the door, turned around and looked up and down at me: "I am. Who are you?" She had an ordinary face and no cosmetics. The earrings and necklaces seemed to be made of silver, not very valuable. Seeing this, I was sure that I knew I remembered the time correctly. Ms. Wang must have not paid attention to the news that "someone dug up treasures in the house three years ago". No, to be precise, she must have not found the treasure chest underground in her house. I don't know whether she is digging up the house now.

"That's it." I took the language and said with a chance: "I'm here to rent a house. I heard you want to rent it out, so I come and ask."

Ms. Wang was stunned, walked into the room, and put the key chain on the windowsill and said, "No, who did you hear?"

I said oh, and while she opened the door, I quickly swept the house, and the ground was clean. At least there were no traces of digging in the living room outside. "That may be because I remembered it wrong, I'm sorry. Uh, I'll ask you a presumptuous question, do you want to have a ancestral home? The price is easy to discuss."

Ms. Wang said with a funny look: "My lover and I live well. Why rent a house? Go and ask others, we won't rent it."

Alas, I just said it wasn't so smooth. I was unwilling to accept it and said, "I'm also anxious to live there. In this way, I'll give you a rent of 3,000 yuan a month. Do you think it's okay?" The price I offered was much higher than the market price.

Ms. Wang was stunned: "It's not renting it, it's renting it out. Where can I go to sleep with my husband?"

I dare not bid too high anymore, otherwise the other party will definitely notice the problem. If she thinks about digging a house in advance, no matter how hard I try, I can't do anything. I think about it for a while, I really like the geographical location, orientation and layout of your house. I want to rent it for one month and entertain a friend to live in. His man doesn't like the hotel, and just said he wants to experience the big yard of old Beijing. Well, in a month, my friend and I will move out immediately, and there is no other word. Look?"

"Just one month?" Ms. Wang frowned, as if she was thinking about something.

I felt that my random statement was quite fooled. He said, "Yes, you and your lover can live in other places first, such as a hotel." Seeing that she was about to talk, I interrupted and said, "Don't rush to refuse. Of course, the money of the hotel can be counted as rent. Well, you can offer a price for one month." They are all from Beijing, who has no relatives and friends? You can make do with it for a month, and you may not have to stay in a hotel. I asked the hotel fee, so I naturally wanted her to make more money and felt it was affordable.

Ms. Wang may have been moved, and her eyes rolled: "I can't make any idea. I have to wait until my lover comes back before talking about it. You give me an approximate price first, and I'll ask Ran."

As soon as I pondered, I stretched out a finger: "Ten thousand."

Ms. Wang's eyelids were pounding, and there was no excessive emotional expression on her face: "Okay, come back tonight."

"Okay, then I'll wait for good news, goodbye." Compared with the value of the treasure chest, ten thousand yuan is nothing.

After walking a few steps out of the yard, I stopped. I turned around and went back, and walked along the slender yard, left and right, left and right, and after walking out of the other yard door opposite, I was ugly. "The old man sat under the telephone pole next to a convenience store, and went up to ask him if there were any other middle-aged women named Wang in the courtyard. I heard that the old man said that the first one in the west was the one in the west, so I felt relieved. I didn't go home, but bought a popsicle at the convenience store and spent time in this bungalow area.

It was almost evening when I was not hungry. I still bought two sesame cakes and meat in front of the shop where I sold sesame cakes. By the way, I called my mother and told her that I and my classmates were at home and would not go back to have dinner at night.

Looking at the hour on my phone, I immediately walked to Ms. Wang's house after 6:30, and didn't dare to let her discuss with her husband for too long.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong, I knocked on the loose glass window on the door, "Auntie Wang."

The door shaft rang, revealing a middle-aged man's head: "Who are you?"

"Oh, I'm the one who wants to rent your house. Aunt Wang should have told you, well, what do you call me?"

The middle-aged man nodded suddenly, looked at me, and opened the door completely: "My surname is Wang, and when he entered the room, he saw half a table and a pike cucumber. When Mr. Wang closed the door, he reached out and pointed inside and asked me to go over with him. The TV was on the inner room. The news broadcast was being broadcast. Ms. Wang sat on the chair inside and had dinner. When he saw me coming, he nodded with a smile.

"Sorry." I apologized: "Have you disturbed your meal, that's the matter of renting a house?"

Mr. Wang was unsure: "Only one month, the rent is 10,000?"

I said yes, afraid that they would be suspicious. I explained again: "The friend I want to entertain is really important to me. He will definitely like your family's environment and layout, so "

Mr. Wang glanced around the room. Ms. Wang also looked up with chopsticks, as if she was thinking about where the pattern was better.

After the filming, Mr. Wang brought me a chair: "Sit down first, um, I'll tell you this. If we want to move out for a month, the things in the house will be cushioned. We must not be able to put them at home, right?" Seeing that I was about to talk, Mr. Wang broke and said, "So it's too troublesome. It's not worth adding to this mess for ten thousand yuan."

Ms. Wang ate the dishes on the table without saying a word. It seemed that they had discussed it before.

I hurriedly said, "Then you offer a price."

Mr. Wang waved his hand without thinking: "It's not a matter of price, we don't need that little money."

Admittedly, I can give higher rents, such as 30,000 or 50,000, which is not a problem, but if I call the price like this, it will definitely arouse their suspicion. Who would spend 30,000 or 50,000 yuan to rent for a month in a broken bungalow? Unless it is a fool, you must know that there is something tricky inside. My explanation, with all the loopholes, will never be able to hold on!

What should I do? Wait and talk about it? But Ms. Wang will dig it in a few days!

Young man, go to Lu Nan to ask, we won’t rent it.”

Mr. Wang sat back to the dining table, picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat. When Ms. Wang was full, she took the empty plate and empty bowl into the pool in the outer room. Turn on the faucet and soaked it in water, "Yes, the environment in that area is also good, there are no restaurants. You can go and have a look."

What are you looking at? What I want is your home.

Ms. Wang, who returned to the inner room, sat on the bed. She crossed her legs and turned the table with the remote control, which was equivalent to banishing the guests. Suddenly, a Song Dynasty official kiln porcelain popped up on the TV, which was a treasure appraisal column. Yan Wanru, dressed in white, was explaining antique knowledge to the audience below. I moved my head over there, and Ms. Wang suddenly said, "By the way, I watched a replay of the show a few days ago, and said that someone dug out a lot of treasures and gold bars in the old house in Shichahai a few years ago. Hello. Do you think our family has it too?"

Mr. Wang stuffed rice into his mouth and shook his head and said, "It is something that others can dig out, and it is also something that our ancestors buried. There are no big figures in our ancestors, so who would bury things into the soil?"

Ms. Wang curled her lips and said, "That's not sure. Maybe what did your father and grandpa hide in the family? Haha, buy a shovel and try it out the next day."

"Don't you do it." Mr. Wang frowned and said, "Don't think about the matter of Ying'er. Just have a good family and be useless."

"I'm not for our family's good. Others can have babies. Why can't our family do it?" Ms. Wang looked at me: "Are you guys? Do you live in a bungalow? Try it when you go back. Even if you dig, gold ingots will be counted."

I was frightened when I heard this, and I smiled embarrassedly, and replied with a humming answer.

It's bad, it's bad. Ms. Wang has watched that show and has already become interested in finding a treasure. Although she is still joking now, she may not be able to buy a shovel to excavate tomorrow. No one can say such a thing.

What to do? There is no way! I can’t beat them out in the middle of the night before digging a house?

Then, Ms. Wang said to herself: "If I dig out a box of gold bars, I will buy a house with the Third Ring Road first. This small bungalow is not as good as a building. Look at it now, it is back to the tide and there are many bugs. Those few, the broken neighbors are competing with us all day long, and they are so annoyed.

Mr. Wang said: "Let's wait for the demolition"

"Demolition?" Ms. Wang looked at me with her lips and stretched out her finger and pointed to the roof of the room: "Our house has been waiting for eight years. She said it was demolished eight years ago, but it turned out that it was still standing upright now? Humph, how can those people have a correct way of speaking? I think there will definitely be no chance within five years."

I smiled bitterly and said, "There is also the same in our family. The demolition has been rumored to have been spread for two years, and there is no movement now."

Ms. Wang sighed deeply: "Have it on, I don't know when it will be the first one."

Since they don’t rent them, I can’t force them to do so. After thinking about it, I just shook my head and gave up: “Then I’m going back, goodbye to Aunt Wang, goodbye to Uncle Wang.”

"Okay, goodbye." Ms. Wang stood up politely and sent me out. Mr. Wang didn't move and even had dinner with the house.

"Missue? Demolition?" Suddenly, I had just crossed the threshold of her house and stopped thinking about something. I turned around and blinked my eyes, and said seriously: "If you don't rent it, Aunt Wang, will you sell your house?"

Bi: I got sick last night and didn’t sleep much all night. I got up in the morning and sorted for a chapter, and I slept for a while. I slept for another chapter. I can’t hold on anymore now. Not only did my heart and lungs feel uncomfortable, but my stomach also had a severe pain. I don’t know if I can update it at night. I’m sorry.”
