Renting a House Is Also a Physical Job

"Yes, yes, I understand. I will leave right away, right away. I promise I will never appear in front of you again!" Tieguai Qi said hurriedly.

"You'd better remember what you said, otherwise there won't be such a good thing for you next time." Ning Jie snorted coldly, then came to Xia Tian and took Xia Tian's arm, "Hubby, let's go out for a walk."

Xia Tian also quickly followed Ning Jie out of the door. He was in a hurry to deal with Song Xiong. As for the cripple Tieguai Qi, he didn't have the time to pay attention to him for the time being. If the cripple dared to cause trouble for him next time, he would just kill him.

Seeing Ning Jie and Xia Tian walk out of the room, Tieguai Qi was extremely depressed. He was so damn unlucky today. Not only was he beaten up twice by the same guy, but he was also robbed twice. How could he accidentally offend two such powerful people? Should he take revenge for this?

"Let's not provoke them for now. It won't be too late to take revenge when there is a chance." Tieguai Qi was shocked by Ning Jie's move just now. At this moment, he no longer had the courage to retaliate.

Ning Jie took Xia Tian to another room on the third floor. The room card of this room was already in her hand. She took out the room card, opened the door, pulled Xia Tian in, and then closed the door. Xia Tian immediately saw a person lying on the floor of the room. It was Song Xiong, who used to be Ning Jie's bodyguard.

Xia Tian had already had two experiences of silver needle hypnosis, and each time was successful. Although his power was limited this time and he couldn't use it as he wished, the use of silver needles for hypnosis actually had nothing to do with ice and fire aura. So, this time, he still hypnotized Song Xiong very smoothly. Then, no matter what he asked, Song Xiong would answer him.

Xia Tian also soon discovered that his inference was not wrong. Song Yumei only sent Song Xiong here to watch him. This was normal. With Song Xiong's ability, few people could pose a threat to him in a place like Wanggang City. Song Yumei thought that Xia Tian's power was restricted and Ning Jie was unconscious, so she asked a powerful subordinate like Song Xiong to observe Xia Tian secretly. In fact, it was because Song Yumei attached great importance to Xia Tian. Otherwise, Song Yumei felt that it would be enough to find anyone to observe secretly.

Unfortunately, Song Yumei didn't know that although Xia Tian's power was restricted, he was not as weak as she imagined. Song Yumei also didn't know that Xia Tian could actually wake Ning Jie up and use the Yin Fire in Ning Jie's body to break the restrictions she had placed on Xia Tian's body. As a result, Xia Tian had greatly improved his passive situation in just one day. Now, Song Xiong was under his control. Within a short period of time, Song Xiong would make up stories to Song Yumei every day about Xia Tian's miserable life according to Xia Tian's wishes.

The only thing that made Xia Tian feel a little depressed was that Song Xiong's story-making skills seemed to be quite poor. He didn't even know how to make up a story. Fortunately, Ning Jie volunteered to make up the story and let Song Xiong just tell it according to the story. So, from that day on, Ning Jie had a side job, which was writing novels.

Ning Jie had already thought of the general plot of the novel. A penniless young man came to Wanggang City and had to start as a beggar. He was bullied but had a beautiful dream. He also met a beautiful and kind girl and fell in love with her. Unfortunately, this beautiful girl ended up being the mistress of another rich man...

"Honey, I've decided to publish this novel in the future. The title of the book will be 'Please Forget Me Tonight, Wanggang', or it can be called 'The Wounded Heart's Sea'." Ning Jie was in a good mood at the moment, because she knew that she and Xia Tian were safe for the time being.

"No problem. After I kill that damn woman Song Yumei, I will help you publish your novel." Xia Tian agreed immediately.

"Honey, I don't think we can leave here for the time being. Why don't we rent a house?" Ning Jie suggested again. She didn't know how long they would stay here, but she felt that it would definitely not be a matter of a few days. It might be a few months or even longer. Now they had to start planning their future life.

The reason why Ning Jie suggested renting a house was because she knew that they now had nearly 5,000 yuan. Although the rent in Wanggang City was definitely not cheap, it should not be a big problem to rent a house with this money. Ning Jie actually didn't like staying in hotels very much. She felt that if she rented a house, it would at least feel like a home.

Xia Tian also thought that renting a house was okay. He didn't like this hotel very much either. The two quickly reached an agreement to rent a house now. It would be even better if they could move in at night.

"This place is called Minxing Village. A lot of houses were built a few years ago. These houses are called Minxing Paradise, but they are distinguished by the number of houses. There are dozens of them in total." After walking out of the hotel, Ning Jie quietly introduced the situation in the vicinity to Xia Tian. Just now, when she was following Xia Tian, ​​she also asked about the situation here. Although she was not very clear, she had a preliminary understanding of it. "Most of the houses here were bought by the original villagers of Minxing Village. Some were allocated to them, but they rarely live here. They basically rent them out. Look, there are rental ads everywhere."

Xia Tian glanced around and said, "I think these houses are all similar!"

"Yeah, that's about right." Ning Jie nodded. "We have to buy a mobile phone first, and then call the landlords who posted the ads."

Xia Tian didn't know much about these things, so he let Ning Jie handle them. Ning Jie first went to a mobile phone store and bought a knockoff mobile phone for three hundred yuan, and bought a mobile phone card for another one hundred yuan. Then she started to ask Xia Tian to make calls according to the advertisements.

Half an hour later, Xia Tian discovered that renting a house is actually a physical job. Although there are many houses nearby, most of them are actually occupied, so renting a house is not that easy. Ning Jie has been wandering around the area for so long and has made more than a dozen calls in a row. Most of the houses have been rented out, and only two houses have not been rented out yet. However, one of them has two bedrooms and a living room, and the monthly rent is two thousand five hundred, which must be paid quarterly at a time. Although the other one has one bedroom and a living room, the rent is also two thousand, which can be paid monthly, but a deposit of two months' rent must also be paid. Ning Jie calculated and found that the money was still not enough. She had no choice but to continue making calls.

"The rent here is really expensive. It seems to be even more expensive than in Beijing." Ning Jie was a little depressed. She thought she could find a place to live with 5,000 yuan, but now it seems that this money is not enough.

Ning Jie continued to look for advertisements somewhat unwillingly and made more than a dozen phone calls, but still had no results. There was a house that was cheap, with a monthly rent of only fifteen hundred yuan, and it had two bedrooms and a living room. However, the landlord was even more outrageous, requiring a full payment of one year's rent, plus a deposit of two thousand yuan, which was exactly twenty thousand yuan in total, making Ning Jie almost want to curse.

"Why don't we stay in a hotel tonight? I'll go out to earn some money tomorrow and then we can rent a house." Xia Tian finally couldn't help but say.

"Honey, it's not that easy to make money here." Ning Jie couldn't help but say softly.

"I think it's very simple. At worst I can just go rob." Xia Tian said nonchalantly.

"Robbery is not a good idea after all. Those guys took the initiative to provoke us before, so it's okay for us to rob them, but I always feel that it's not appropriate for us to take the initiative to rob." Although Ning Jie is now very capable, some of her ideas are deeply rooted. She thinks she can't rob unless she has no other choice. After a short pause, she comforted Xia Tian, ​​"Don't worry, husband. We will definitely find a suitable house. After we find a house, I will find a job. It will be no problem to support the two of us."

Without waiting for Xia Tian to speak, Ning Jie started dialing again because she saw the rental advertisement again.

This time, after hanging up the phone, Ning Jie seemed extremely happy: "That's great, husband, we finally found a suitable house, one bedroom and one living room, with appliances, only 1500 yuan, one month deposit, that is, only 3000 yuan. We can pay the rent and have more than 1000 yuan left, enough for us to use for a month. Let's go, let's go to see the house now!"

Ning Jie found the address after asking a few people. When she arrived outside the room, she began to think that there was a reason why the house was cheaper. The house was on the ninth floor. It was fine if it was on the ninth floor, but there was no elevator in the building. This puzzled Ning Jie. Wasn't there a rule that houses with more than seven floors must have elevators? How come there was no elevator in the ninth floor?

And the room number was quite unlucky, it was 911. Fortunately, Ning Jie didn't care about it. She just needed a place to live with Xia Tian, ​​which could serve as their home, so she quickly rang the doorbell.

The door opened quickly, and a man in his thirties appeared at the door. Seeing Ning Jie, the man seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "Are you renting the room? Come in!"

Ning Jie pulled Xia Tian in and began to observe the room. At this moment, the man closed the door and then locked it.

"What are you doing?" Ning Jie immediately realized that something was wrong. Usually, when people were viewing a house, the landlord would not close the door, and it would be even more strange to lock it.

Before the man could say anything, the door of a bedroom suddenly opened and two more men walked out. Both of them looked to be in their thirties.

Ning Jie frowned immediately, feeling extremely depressed, because she saw that both men were holding knives in their hands. It seemed that these days, if you want to take advantage, you will easily suffer losses. She originally thought that the rent was cheap, but who knew that she had entered a bandit's den!

"Robbery!" As if to confirm Ning Jie's speculation, one of them spoke up, "Hand over all the money!"
