Update: 2013-01-30

“Mom.”

The girl looked at Ms. Tao and whispered, “Aren’t you not renting it?”

Ms. Tao’s eyes flashed a trace of helplessness, touched her daughter’s head, and did not say anything, Qin Yang stood on the sidelines looking strange, but it is not good enough to ask, after all, it is people’s private matters, but still said on the lips, “If you are not convenient to rent, I can be in the lookout.”

Said, also scratched his head.

Ms. Tao was busy shaking her head, saying, “I don’t mean that, let’s look at the house first.”

“Good.”

Qin Yang nodded, the heart is still strange, followed Ms. Tao into the house, extremely clean room, just don’t know what’s going on, some coolness, look at the heating is also open full, the heart is even more puzzled, the little girl seems to be very afraid of this place, hiding in the doorway do not dare to come in, a pair of big eyes flickering look around.

Inside the house is fully furnished, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom are fully equipped, there is also a network interface, the balcony has also been cleaned, standing here overlooking the Haitian city, but the more so, his heart is more strange, the house is so good, why the rent is only one thousand five? After seeing the little girl’s strange behavior, Ms. Tao’s appearance, the heart is even more puzzled.

Suppressed the heart of puzzlement, and Ms. Tao chat a couple of sentences, this mother and daughter is not like a porcelain, in addition to their own a big man is not afraid, so want to take advantage of the rent is low to hurry to rent it. Of course the contract is to be signed.

And under the self-introduction, Qin Yang also know, Ms. Tao called Tao Caijie, is a company white collar, and the little girl is her own daughter, called Cheng Xiaomei, eight years old this year, read the second grade of elementary school, very well-behaved, but also Tao Caijie’s heart, as for Cheng Xiaomei’s father, Tao Caijie didn’t say much, just due to an accident passed away, which makes Qin Yang busy is to say sorry.

“Alright, Sister Tao, I rented this house.” After inspecting it, Qin Yang said with satisfaction, “Can we sign the contract now?”

“Good.”

Tao Caijie hesitated for a while, but went back inside to get the contract.

Qin Yang comfortably sat in the sofa and nodded in satisfaction once more, seeing Cheng Xiaomei at the door, he loved it in his heart and said, “Xiaomei, why don’t you come in? It’s cold outside, don’t freeze.”

“I don’t dare.”

Cheng Xiaomei said in a small voice, seemingly extremely afraid of something in the house.

Qin Yang looked around strangely, there was nothing ah? How could she not dare? At that moment, he got up and walked to the door, squatted down and asked with a smile, “Why don’t you dare? In the future this is brother’s place, come and play at any time, there are good games on brother’s cell phone, do you want to play?” Saying that, he also took out his big screen cell phone and shook it.

Cheng Xiaomei was very well-behaved, looked at Qin Yang and said, “Big brother, your eyes are so pretty.”

“Pretty?”

Qin Yang was stunned, were his eyes beautiful? Feeling amused, he said, “Beautiful?”

“En, one look and I feel so comfortable in my heart.” Cheng Xiaomei said honestly.

“Hehehe, I think so too.” Where had Qin Yang looked in the mirror since he was discharged from the hospital? However, hearing an eight year old little girl praising him, he felt a little bit of satisfaction in his heart.

Seemingly genuinely scared in her heart, Cheng Xiaomei looked at her home and saw that her mom didn’t come out before she whispered, “Big brother, I won’t lie to you anymore, there are ghosts in this house, very scary ghosts.”

“Ghosts?” Qin Yang was happy to hear, to say it was before, he really did not believe, but now he believes, and Cheng Xiaomei is not a child who cheats, just that he is really not afraid of ghosts, he is now dying to have ghosts, if it is of any big shot, surely he can know a lot of secret recipes to make money, absorbing the memories, so what’s not to like? He was planning to enable his yin and yang eyes to go back and take a look, but at this time Tao Caijie walked out with a document, and sighed when she heard her daughter’s words.

“Qin Yang, let’s talk.” Tao Caijie looked at Qin Yang, her intuition told him that this young man was a kind child, not wanting to deceive him, so she said.

Qin Yang froze, nodded, this time into her home, Tao Caijie’s furniture decoration is very cozy, let a person have a feeling of warmth like spring, sitting on the sofa, Cheng Xiaomei obediently poured a cup of hot water, Tao Caijie sat on the side, said: “I also do not have the intention to hide it from you, the house is the object I and I married to the time when I bought it, two rooms. Later felt that one was too wasteful to leave empty, it was rented out, at first there were three or four people, there was nothing going on, it has been peaceful and steady, only later, a person whose speech and behavior were very strange rented the house, we felt that it was no big deal at that time, so we rented it out.”

“But this strange man every day in the house crazy talk, say what the ghosts and monsters to come and so on words, very scary, scared Xiaomei often do not dare to go out on their own, at that time because of the signed contract, so also embarrassed to drive him away, always thought that he was just some mental problems, but he lived in about half a year after a night, thunderstorms, he suddenly died, died in an unknown way! At that time, the doctor only said that he died of a heart attack. Just since then, the house often have a cold feeling, then Xiaomei small, went in and cried in fear, we were also afraid, but also invited the master, but no use, and then there are people to rent, but a few days have to ask for a refund. You have been wondering why the rent is so cheap, right? In fact, it’s the same reason. Later after Xiao Mei’s father passed away, we don’t plan on renting it out, it’s just that the house has been empty, and I also want Xiao Mei to be able to live a better life, so that’s why.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Qin Yang nodded indistinctly. No wonder it felt slightly cold in the house, thought it was due to not living for a long time.

“Forget it, you still don’t rent it, every person who has rented it thinks it’s evil there, there are ghosts screaming at night, nothing at all outside, just can’t go in. Otherwise you feel that spooky feeling.” Tao Caijie said helplessly.

Qin Yang grinned, scratched his head, and said, “It’s not good to rent a house now, and it’s so cheap.”

“But.” Tao Caijie wanted to stop.

Qin Yang, however, took the lead and got up, saying, “My grandpa often says that I’m some kind of enlightened one who isn’t afraid of ghosts and monsters, and that some of these are nebulous, so I’m not afraid of them.”

“Someone also said that, but he ran away after staying for a day.” Tao Caijie smiled bitterly, “You’d better be renting another house.”

“Yeah, big brother, it’s really scary.” Cheng Xiaomei also discouraged.

Qin Yang hemmed and hawed and said, “How about this, I’ll go to the house for a while, if I can’t stand it, it’s not too late to back out? How about it?”

Not waiting for the mother and daughter in the opposition, Qin Yang has run out, came to his own room, and incidentally, the door will be closed, at the same time, concentrated the spirit, suddenly felt in the depths of the mind there is a stream of cool air hovering at the eyes, the whole room everything has become unusually clear, in a careful observation, see one of the bedrooms seems to have a mass of black qi, after the eyes lit up, walked over.
