Taking out his phone, Lin Yun found that his phone had run out of battery, but he didn't care. He went to a stall by the roadside and dialed a number.
"Who are you looking for?" A feminine voice with a heavy accent came from the other end of the phone.
"Oh, I'm here to rent a house. I want to take a look first, but I don't know how to get there.”Lin Yun deliberately made his voice sound a lot older. From the voice he heard on the phone, Lin Yun judged that the other party should be around fifty years old.
But Lin Yun didn't care about this. In any case, he just needed a place to live and could cultivate quietly every day. At most, he would give her more money. It couldn't be more expensive than a house in the downtown area, right? As for how old the other party was, it had nothing to do with him.
"Alright, take a look first. The address is 603, Block 38, Apricot Garden.”After the other side of the phone finished speaking, he paused for a moment and immediately hung up.
Where is 'Apricot Garden?'" Lin Yun put down the phone in his hand with a puzzled expression. He thought to himself,"I'm not out of the city already, right? This is too far. It doesn't make sense that I'm too far from the company. At least I should be able to rush over in an hour."
"I know about Apricot Garden. It's on Zhaoting Road. I've been there before. It's not far from here.”The uncle in the shop enthusiastically said after hearing Lin Yun's words.
"Not very far?" Lin Yun suddenly felt a little uneasy. It was either very far or in the city. How could a house in the city cost 1200 yuan a month?
Could it be a lie? But Lin Yun smiled in the blink of an eye. It was a lie, so what was there to be afraid of? Could it be that he was still afraid of others robbing him? Even though he had yet to form an Astral Soul, he wasn't someone who could be robbed just because he wanted to.
The subway line 6 wasn't very far. Lin Yun only took twenty minutes to reach the entrance of Apricot Garden. The name of the district was elegant, but this district was very old. It seemed to be at least fifteen years old.
But Lin Yun liked this place as soon as he entered. It wasn't because of anything else, but because the environment here was very quiet, and the spiritual energy here wasn't bad. It was at least much stronger than the hotel he was staying in.
Building 38 was easy to find. It was near a man-made lake, and there was a sign beside the lake that read 'Apricot Blossom Lake'. Lin Yun looked at the lake water that wasn't very clear and was quite satisfied. At least it wasn't like the man-made lakes in some areas. After a few years, the lake water would start to stink.
"Who are you looking for?" Lin Yun was stopped by an auntie when he reached the entrance of the first floor of Building 38.
When Lin Yun heard her voice, he knew that she was the one who had just called him. He quickly said," Oh, I called you just now. I saw that there was a house for rent here, so I came to rent a house."”
The auntie looked at Lin Yun with a puzzled expression for a long time before saying," There was a person who called just now, but it seemed to be someone a little old. Hey, I think you're at most 25 or 26 years old. Is that you?"”
"Oh, it's me. Maybe the phone in the restaurant is a little old, so your voice sounds a little different.”Lin Yun sweated. He hadn't expected this auntie to be so alert.
"Not an old man? "That needs to be a girl. Why are you?" The auntie looked at Lin Yun and said hesitantly.
"You're talking about this. Since it's co-renting, what's the difference? Anyway, I'll pay you the rent on time every month. Don't worry, I won't owe you a single cent.”Lin Yun hurriedly took out the reason why he thought this auntie might accept him.
"In that case, come with me to take a look first.”The middle-aged woman went in to get the key and said something to Lin Yun before going upstairs. It wasn't known if that sentence made the auntie change her mind, or if she felt that Lin Yun wasn't a bad person.
"Auntie, since you're living on the first floor, then aren't you the one who has to share the room upstairs?”Lin Yun originally thought that it was the auntie in front of him who requested to share the rent. Seeing that she seemed to be living on the first floor, it might not be her.
"No, it's one of my tenants. Because she can't take such a big place alone, she gave up one room. The main reason is that her company hasn't been doing well recently and she wants to save some rent.”The middle-aged woman said helplessly. The rent she had asked for was already very low.
Hmm, the house belonged to this middle-aged woman, not her? Could it be an old man in his sixties? Looking at the middle-aged woman's graceful appearance, Lin Yun even thought that she might have an ambiguous relationship with her tenant.
"We're here." The middle-aged woman interrupted Lin Yun's dirty thoughts.
When the middle-aged woman opened the door, Lin Yun finally understood why this house was so cheap. Although the interior was very clean, the total area was estimated to be less than 40 square meters. He actually said that he couldn't take such a big place because of one person. What was this?
To be exact, it was a large room that was simply separated in the middle and made into two rooms. There was only a living room that was less than ten square meters outside, and the kitchen and bathroom combined were no more than six square meters.
Lin Yun went to look at the room for rent. It was at most ten square meters and only had an empty bed. There was nothing else. But the location was still alright. The space by the window was very spacious and suitable for Lin Yun's cultivation.
Sigh, forget it. I'll just stay here for the time being. Since this place was suitable for cultivation, he could go out and earn some money to buy a house after forming his Astral Soul. After that, he could cultivate in peace and there would be no need for him to suffer so much.
"Alright, I'll rent this place first.”Lin Yun looked at the middle-aged woman.
"No, you can give it to me first. I rented this house to her for 2,200 yuan a month. How much did you negotiate?”The middle-aged woman was a bit slow, but she still decided to let Lin Yun pay her the rent.
"It's 1200 yuan, but there's nothing in this room. How can I sleep at night?”Lin Yun naturally saw the change in the middle-aged woman's tone, but he pretended not to know. In any case, he just needed a place to live. As for who he would pay the rent to, it was the same.
It seemed that this fellow who was renting with him was also a cunning person. The two of them should have split it equally for 1,100 yuan. This guy directly asked for 1,200 yuan. He only needed to pay 1,000 yuan. It was indeed a good plan. But Lin Yun didn't care. What he wanted the most now was a safe place to cultivate.
Although the person he rented with was a bit crafty, he still seemed to be a bit of a clean person. There weren't many old people who liked cleanliness, so Lin Yun didn't care too much about this. Money was enough for him as long as he could survive. He didn't care about how much money he had. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have much money in his pocket, Lin Yun wouldn't have come to find someone to rent a house with.
"Hey, you rent a house yourself. Of course, you have to prepare these blankets and daily necessities yourself. Do you want the landlord to help you prepare them?”The middle-aged woman was very dissatisfied with Lin Yun's request.
"How much do these things cost?”Lin Yun asked.
"You only have one bag, so you probably don't have any daily necessities. For example, these blankets, washbasins, toothbrushes, toothbrushes, and other miscellaneous items. They'll probably cost about seven to eight hundred yuan, and the better ones will cost more than a thousand yuan.”
"I'll give you 6,000 yuan. After deducting three months 'rent, help me buy some daily necessities with the rest. I'll give you the rest." Lin Yun took out 6,000 yuan and gave it to the middle-aged woman.
The landlady received the money in surprise. She didn't expect that a fellow who wanted to rent with someone else would be so generous." Okay, okay. I'll definitely buy you the best one." This is the key. I'll go buy something for you."
The middle-aged woman immediately went downstairs as if she was afraid that Lin Yun would go back on his word. It didn't seem like she was in her fifties.
