The speaker is unintentional, but the listener has a heart. Lin Qingyao was indeed hurt. This house, if its really only 500 yuan a month, is suitable for her to live in. You know, in Chengdu, finding a place to settle down for less than 800 yuan a month is already very cheap.

  I dont have much money on me now, and when looking for a house, I can only settle for cheaper ones.

  As for... being haunted... Lin Qingyao recalled everything she had experienced at the bottom of the cliff, but it was just that one incident. If she herself was fearless in her heart, how could this ghost be frightening?

  I heard this ghost cant directly hurt people, it can only scare them. No matter how powerful it is, its no more than that armadillo, right?

  I still have that space... if Im afraid at that time, Ill just hide in that space.

  If it werent for fear of being noticed entering and exiting in open spaces, then one could have a place to rest within the space...

  Lin Qingyao had a place to rely on, and she also experienced the strange things at the bottom of the cliff. Moreover, her body was really in a precarious state. She gritted her teeth and asked the old man Yao: "Uncle, can you tell me about that house?"

  Lao Yao heard that someone wanted to rent the house and was overjoyed, then pulled up a stool and sat down at Lin Qingyaos desk.

  "Are you sure you want to rent that house, miss?" Old Yao asked, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth as he spoke. He was over sixty years old and had been a car mechanic before retiring. After retirement, he didnt idle around and instead started doing real estate brokerage business.

  Its not a big deal, just helping those migrant workers find cheap accommodations and charging a fee of 100 to 200 yuan for the transaction, which is relatively cheap as an intermediary.

  Lin Qingyao nodded: "Whats going on with that house?"

  Lao Yao smiled: "That house is in Liu Hutong, do you know Liu Hutong? Its in the old city district. Although its a bit out of the way and old-fashioned, the environment there cant be compared to here! The house has 200 square meters, with two courtyards attached to the front and back! You can also grow vegetables and whatnot, inside and outside, and save a lot of money!"

  Lin Qingyao furrowed her brow, thinking about the location of Liu Hutong. There should be some unrenovated bungalows there. Later, new urban areas were heavily developed, and the old city area became desolate. There are some factories nearby, next to a mountain.

  Xu Ran exclaimed: "This 200-square-meter house, with a yard, only costs 500 yuan per month? Youre not cheating me, are you? Or is there really a ghost in the house?"

  Lao Yao listened to Xu Ran saying this, and hastily spat on the ground, saying: "Pfft! Your family is the one with ghosts! The owner of that house had long gone to enjoy a good life with his children, and when he handed over the keys to me, he just said to pay some rent as a gesture, and since theres someone living in it, dont let the house go to waste, so its cheap!"

  Xu Ran muttered under her breath: "My family has ghosts, gambles, and drunkards." If it werent for the fact that she had an unreliable father at home, she could have brought this big sister back to stay for a few days. But now... she didnt even want to go back herself, let alone bring someone else back?

  Lao Yao felt a bit guilty when he said that, but it had been several days since he last made a deal. Now those formal real estate agents were everywhere, and these scattered goods runners like them were getting harder to mix in!

  Its finally come to this, and this time, I definitely wont let her go!

  Lin Qingyao nodded: "Uncle, take me to see the house."

  It was already noon, Lin Qingyao worried about the place to stay at night and its not easy to find a room at night, so she bit her teeth and hailed a taxi on the road.

  "Big sister, Ill go with you!" This big sister had just divorced and was living alone outside, its not easy for a woman to be alone. That old man didnt seem like a good person, so its better to follow her and make sure she doesnt get into any trouble or get robbed or cheated.

  Lin Qingyao did not refuse Xu Rans kindness, nodding her head. She could feel the good intentions emanating from this young man. Just by virtue of him saving her from the cliff bottom, she knew he was a good person.

  He was just thinking of committing suicide, and it seems that there is something unspeakable about him. He also said that he had nowhere to go, so I should help him since he saved my life!

  Lin Qingyao thought to herself, let him follow her, it didnt matter anyway.

  The taxi drove for a full half hour and cost 35 yuan before finally arriving at Liu Hutong.

  Lin Qingyao looked around at the surroundings, thinking of what Old Man Yao had just said. The environment here is good - it really is! Looking over at the ancient trees that blocked out the sky and the stone paths covered in green moss beneath them, she gazed at the several old rusty locks on the doors of the houses in this alleyway.

  Lin Qingyao was silent for a moment, and it was indeed quiet and serene. The environment was so good that it was almost too much to bear, and the tranquility was also overwhelming!

  Who would dare live here?

  Lao Yao led the two people walking along the alley, the road shaded by ancient trees, unable to see any sunlight, with a hint of coolness, their footsteps on the road sounded particularly clear.

  At the end of this alley, on the south side was a wasteland overgrown with weeds as tall as a person. On the other side of the wasteland stood an old rusty iron gate. Old Yao fumbled out a key and inserted it into the keyhole.

  The iron lock had been rained on and Old Yao fiddled with it for a while before opening it.

  Just as Lao Yao was unlocking the door, Xu Ran pulled Lin Qingyao aside and whispered in her ear: "Sister, youd better not live here... I dont know why, but this place feels so eerie. Have you noticed? Theres no one living in this entire alley! Its desolate! This old city area isnt developed, but the land price in Chuan City is also extremely high, and such a large piece of land is left to waste..."

  Lin Qingyao bit her lip, she had also come to this place with a kind of uncomfortable feeling, but it was not as strong as Xu Rans.

  But she didnt know that her body had already been cleansed of its marrow, and as for this intangible yin energy, her resistance was naturally much stronger than Xu Rans.

  Bang!

  With a loud creak, the lock was finally opened.

  Squeak!

  Lao Yao pushed the door open, Lao Yao seemed a bit hesitant, not wanting to walk into the courtyard, turned around and glanced at Lin Qingyao and Xu Ran, patted himself on the back, then took big strides walking in.

  Lin Qingyao looked around the yard, and indeed it was just as Old Yao had said. The place was very large, with a row of four rooms facing her, and on the side there was a warehouse and a kitchen.

  The yard had long been desolate, but the grass and trees in this place grew exceptionally luxuriantly, already covering the position under the green bamboo fence.

  In the midst of wild grass, several wooden stakes were standing, old and worn out. It seemed that they used to be a trellis for calabazas, but now they were overgrown with clematis, which added some wild charm.
