Section 1 Lottery in shopping malls

Time is always like sand in your hand, flowing by unconsciously. The autumn tiger is still so fierce, but people's lives still have to be the same.

At seven o'clock in the evening, three classmates appeared in a supermarket in W City. In a city like W City, where nearly 10 million people live, there is absolutely no shortage of supermarkets. This supermarket is the largest in the area.

"Slut, why are you so generous today, inviting us to the mall?"

"Ha, I said I was lucky today, I walked and picked up my wallet, do you believe it or not?"

Everyone kept saying that this was impossible, and if the slut made money, it must have deceived another customer. God won't be so blind and let the slut pick up the money.

"So I said that it was my conscience that I found out and decided to spend money to do good, do you believe it or not?"

This is even more unacceptable. A man who aspires to be a profiteer will one day find out in his conscience? It is better to say that the sow will go up to the tree.

"Well, actually...... Get a card deal!" The slut finally told the truth. "Haha, I applied for a supermarket membership card, and I got a shopping coupon by an unexpected lottery, and today is the deadline!"

All three laughed, this is the style of a slut. Although he is a profiteer through and through, he can be trusted beyond the word "business", at least he will not do things that harm others and himself.

"You see I'm lucky. The slut was delighted and said as he picked up random ones in the supermarket.

"Speaking of which, Dong Yue left early, and if he left two days late, it is estimated that he will be able to visit the supermarket with us for free. Wu Bing said. "He's out of luck. ”

"Speaking of bad luck," the slut rolled his eyes. "Of the few of us, I'm afraid it's the one who is the most unlucky. Outdated, do you want to find a fortune teller to do the math?"

"Why am I unlucky?" Lu Wu was very unconvinced by this. “

"Last semester, remember that we collectively skipped class? Hey, the whole class spot-checked the roll call, and the five of us were fine, so we drew you! Do you say you were lucky? Do you remember the time I sold watermelons? A car, dozens of watermelons, everyone is a good melon, and the one you got is rotten! And before...... When I was a sophomore, the whole class was outing, and everyone came and went safely, and you broke down...... And the previous one...... The earlier ......"

"Last semester, I touched the lottery ticket and won a prize of 1,000 yuan. And this," Lu Wu shook the phone in his hand. "See, this thing is what I won from China Mobile. ”

"You went to the supermarket last week and found a bag of soy sauce!" Ren Jian retorted dismissively. "Your luck, it seems like it's all in the lottery. If I were you, I'd put all my money into a lottery ticket and see if I could win five million...... What do you think?"

"Thank you for your bad idea!"

"By the way, outdated, did you go to see the house today, did you gain anything?" Wu Bing asked suddenly.

"Needless to say, it's definitely not good. The slut said. "How is it possible? 500 yuan a month's rent, detached house, nearly 60 square meters...... Does such a thing really exist? When you said that, even I was curious to see it. Hey, if I go to the real estate agent and make this kind of request, I guess people will be regarded as crazy, and the clerk will laugh at him even if he doesn't say it, and they will say, 'Rent a single-family house for 500 yuan...... Ha ha...... Is there such a place in W City?'. ”

"Actually, that's not fake......" Lu Wu finally spoke.

"Isn't it fake?" the slut's eyes widened. "It's pie in the sky. Rent it out at once, and then rent it out, at least you can raise the rent to two thousand, no, three thousand. I earn two thousand five dollars a month for nothing!"

"The house is in the suburbs...... West End, near the outskirts of the city on that side of the street. Lu Wu explained.

"Then you can rent at least 2,000!

"That house is an illegal building...... It was just a bungalow, but it had been hardened up by two floors and turned into three floors. The size of the house is true, but the structure is very poor. A house of that size is actually divided into three rooms, and there is no living room and no kitchen. ”

As long as no one comes to demolish it, the illegal building will not be inhabited and rented out? As long as the house is not a dilapidated house. Not to mention the structure of the house, hey, five hundred dollars a month to rent a house...... If it is exquisitely decorated and complete, it will not be a pie in the sky, but a golden cake in the sky!"

"The problem is, the two floors below have already been rented out as warehouses. Lu Wu had to explain carefully. "Next to the house, across the street, there is a wholesale clothing market. The lower two floors were rented to a merchant as a warehouse, and there were large piles of fabrics, clothes, and the like in them. I watched it on the spot, in case of a fire......"

Lu Wu didn't say half a sentence, but from his tone and tone, anyone could clearly deduce that it was not a good thing. Think about it, there are countless flammable fabrics piled up on the first and second floors, and once the fire starts, it is estimated that the third floor will not even have a chance to escape.

"What else?" Wu Bing also gasped.

"And the facilities in that house are also terrible. Lu Wu said with some frustration. "There was no telephone or broadband, and the wires were pulled from the side from somewhere...... I suspect it's electricity theft. ”

In fact, these are not uncommon things for houses in the suburbs and rural areas. But everyone knows that the practice of pulling wires indiscriminately in the countryside actually greatly increases the risk of fire.

"Anything else?" this time the slut also felt a little inappropriate. It's good to have cheap rent, but it's a big risk...... Whether it's worth it or not is another matter. It seems that renting only five hundred – especially when the price is quoted and not snatched up in the first place – must be justified.

"And the place is not safe. Lu Wu said. "I was on the third floor, and I saw a few people with knives in their hands crossing the street, and the surrounding crowd avoided them. It took me a few seconds before I realized that this wasn't the filming location for the Crazy Boy movie. ”

"This ......" Now Wu Bing and Ren Jian are beginning to understand that it makes sense that the rent is so low. These are simply three hidden dangers, hidden dangers of violations, fire hazards, and public security hazards.

"The landlord, an aunt surnamed Chen, told me that the area is very safe. For a whole year last year, no one died in their village, and they didn't count as old. Lu Wu sighed again.

It's not bad news, but it's not right to hear it in your ears.

"Last year...... So...... What about the year before last? What about this year? It's halfway through this year. ”

"That's what I asked. Lu Wu said. Then the aunt told me that the year before last was not good, and the couple died. A group of people slashed each other in the street, and the police were also recruited. In the first half of this year, there was a group fight, and more than a dozen of them went to the hospital, but they were not dead or disabled. However, last month, a thief failed to steal and stabbed an unlucky guy to death with a knife. I also asked "Is it from this village that died......?"

"What did she say?"

"She said it was a tenant from out of town......"

The three of them looked at each other, half speechless.

"Forget it, this place really doesn't seem to fit. Wu Bing suggested. Well, although you are in an ivory tower, you actually understand that in a big city like W City, it is normal for the urban-rural junction to hide dirt and dirt. Is it true that the world is so peaceful that the world is spotless?" "Change places, you have a few days, you should be able to find a better one." ”

"It's too late......" The frustration on Lu Wu's face was a little more. "I've already paid a deposit for a quarter's rent. ”

I'm, I'm, I'm!

Saying this, the two friends understood that it was over. They are well aware of Lu Wu's economic situation. One quarter, three months, 1,500 yuan, this is basically something that cannot be reversed for the current Lu Wu. He could not afford to have a quarter's deposit, or fifteen hundred dollars, thrown into a puddle. It is also a loss that Li Pingfu sent a sum of money, otherwise Lu Wu's current situation may be even worse.

"Your luck is really bad. Wu Bing had to express sympathy. "You know, there is a very effective temple on the outskirts of W City, and I have time to go there to burn incense. ”

"Superstition. Lu Wu replied. Like many young people born in New China and raised under the red flag, he is also an atheist and scoffs at all kinds of superstitions. "I don't believe it. ”

"It's not superstition, the lottery there is really effective, the aunt who was in our class last time went to draw a lot, and the calculation is accurate. He had been talking about it in class for days. ”

"There are no gods and no magic in this world. Lu Wu said. "If there is, wouldn't it be too convenient to make a fortune?"

"Hey, if they really had fairy magic or something, they wouldn't have much money. The slut chimed in. "At least on the surface, there's not much money. ”

"Why?"

"Because money becomes readily available, they don't need to get rich. Would you accumulate something that is at your fingertips, even if it's useful. For example, do we normally collect air and water?"

"That makes sense. ”

The three of them started chatting while shopping. In fact, the three of them also understood that this might be the last time they got together like this. Although the three of them will stay in W City, W City is so big, with four districts and a population of nearly 10 million, I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again like today.

The time of happiness is always short-lived. The three of them soon arrived at the cash register. The sluts pay with a shopping voucher and a little change, and the cashier hands them the receipt.

"By the way, there is an event in the mall today, and you can draw a lottery for every 50 yuan you spend. It's right at the main counter. ”
