Chapter 2: A Strange World
At the door of a small restaurant on the edge of the commercial street of the university town in Lianhua District, Xianyang City, the owners of several nearby shops are surrounded at the moment, and among them, is a man in his forties with a mustache.
He was holding a bunch of keys in his hand, and because his arm was shaking so badly, he didn't touch the keyhole several times, and a layer of sweat had appeared on his forehead.
"Lao Zhang, what are you shaking, this fat girl may just be overly sad, and it's okay at all?"
"Fart, can I not be afraid? If the fat girl really dies in my shop, how will I rent this shop in the future, maybe I will have to compensate her for hundreds of thousands of lives, hey, just think about it, my liver trembles, you gang of bastards, such a big thing happened, why didn't you notify me in advance, it's been ten days, people are afraid that they stink, right?"
The mustachioed Lao Zhang is the landlord of this row of shops, these people are renting his shop, he is a standard house master, he usually does not live here at all, and only drives here when he collects water and electricity bills every month and rent at the end of the year.
I came here today because it was the day to collect water and electricity bills, but as soon as he came, he was surrounded by several tenants, and when he heard the whole story, his head exploded instantly.
In a chubby restaurant on the very edge, the boss and the proprietress went home to visit relatives and had a car accident, and their only daughter, the fat girl, was split by her scumbag boyfriend after dealing with the funeral.
After the fat girl came back from the funeral, she locked herself in the store and didn't come out for ten days.
Lao Zhang scolded this time, and immediately couldn't control it, pointing at the tenants one by one and scolding.
"You white-eyed wolves, didn't I just increase the rent for you three times? As for being so cold-blooded? People haven't come out for ten days, and you don't know to call the police!"
Speaking of calling the police, he quickly took out his mobile phone.
"Yes, yes, call the police, call the police, let the police take care of it!"
A tenant hurriedly pressed his arm.
"You can't call the police, Lao Zhang, if you call the police, what will we do with our business here, if we know that there are dead people here, who will come here to eat!"
"What then?"
"I see, let's open the door first to see the situation, maybe people are okay? Even if there is something, we can deal with it in a low-key manner, and we must not let others know, otherwise this business will really not be able to be done!"
"Yes, yes, you can't make a big fuss, my family of six can just point to this shop to live, Lao Zhang, let's open the door first to see the situation!"
Lao Zhang scolded selfishness in his heart and handed the key to the crowd.
"Who's going to open the door?"
The crowd was quiet again, no one wanted to get involved in this matter, they were all doing catering, to put it bluntly, they were competing openly and secretly, and the reason why they didn't call the police for ten days was also out of selfishness, not only afraid that the fat girl would have an accident and cause them to have no business, but also afraid that the fat girl would not have an accident The landlord Lao Zhang would raise the rent again.
So a group of people discussed for many days, and the final conclusion was that it was best to let Lao Zhang open the door, and if something happened, let Lao Zhang deal with it in a low-key manner, and then naturally let him lower the rent.
Lao Zhang took a sip, took out the key again and tried tremblingly.
The shop is small, but it has two floors, the first floor is a restaurant, the second floor is a bedroom with two cubicles and a small bathroom at the end of the hallway.
Lao Zhang is the landlord, naturally he has the key, after opening the security door, the glass door inside is not closed, and suddenly a smell of corruption came, and several shop owners who were watching immediately exploded.
"Oops, people stink!"
opened the door and turned on the dim light, Lao Zhang's heart was not afraid, and he glared at the group of people.
"Shut up, anyone will stink, no one will take care of the hotel for ten days, it's strange if it doesn't stink!"
Everyone looked at it, and it was true, almost all of the smell came from the operation room, and a few bold ones immediately vomited for a look at the past, and some of the fruits, vegetables and pork on the operation room were hairy, and half a pot of noodles solidified into a pile, which was crawling with flies.
"Lao Zhang, this is not right, if the fat girl is still alive, this meal should not stink!"
A boss questioned, and Lao Zhang, who was relieved just now, immediately became nervous again, looked at the stairs behind him, his legs were trembling, he was afraid that as soon as he went up the stairs, he would see a dead face and a rotting corpse alive.
Looking at the tenant who was five meters away from him, he gritted his teeth in hatred and slowly walked up the stairs.
One step, two steps, three steps......
He had already seen the corridor on the second floor, the corridor was empty, the bathroom door was still open, apparently no one, the remaining two compartments, he knew that one was the previous boss and the hostess, and the other was the fat girl's.
The door of the boss and the hostess's room was also open, and there were only some tables, chairs and bedding inside, and most of the things in it were taken away by the two of them when they visited relatives.
The rest of the fat girl's room was locked, and it was obvious that this was what he was most afraid of.
"Hey, Lao Zhang, open the door!"
The tenants stood at the bottom of the stairs and whispered at him, Lao Zhang swallowed and slowly approached the door, he tried to sniff with his nose, hoping not to smell something he shouldn't smell.
Fortunately, although there was a musty smell in the room, it didn't stink.
Slowly, he inserted the key into the keyhole, and then, taking a deep breath, he prepared to rotate the keyhole.
Click!
With a crisp sound, the door was opened, and in Lao Zhang's nervous gaze, a miserable white figure appeared almost close to his face.
"Ahh
"Ahh
The screams of a man and a woman at the same time frightened the onlookers below, and then Lao Zhang was heard running to the window in the room, sticking his head out of the window and scolding the tenants who had run out of the restaurant.
"Eight lambs, all come back, all come back, the little fat girl is not dead!
In the room on the left side of the second floor, the tenants and Lao Zhang gathered in front of the small bed, looking at the fat girl lying on the bed.
"Lao Zhang, you said that the fat girl was fine, will you be scared to death again?"
"Fuck off, she scared me too, besides, isn't it still angry. Don't talk nonsense, it's okay with me if she dies, otherwise I'll give you a rent increase!"
"So what now? Do you want to call the police?"
"Report a fart, isn't this person good, I think she's hungry, hurry up, Lao Li, don't you have any leftover gruel in the morning, go get some." ”
"Yes, I've been hungry for so long and I'm still so fat, this fat girl is really in good health. ”
"Don't be poor, hurry up and get food, and you, what should you do!
After a few mouthfuls of porridge, the fat girl who was in a coma woke up immediately, she opened her eyes in a daze, looked at the room in front of her, the strange mustachioed man, and immediately became vigilant.
"Am I not in the interview? Why are you here, who are you? What are you eating, I tell you, don't come here, I'll call the police if you come over!"
Seeing the fat girl's reaction, the landlord Lao Zhang was stunned and looked at the porridge in his hand, then looked at the fat girl, and asked tentatively.
"White Phoenix?"
The fat girl was stunned, but she was still vigilant.
"How do you know my name?"
"How do I know...... I...... I'm the landlord Zhang!"
"What landlord Lao Zhang, I live in a school dormitory, how can there be a landlord! Don't try to lie to me!"
"I ...... I'm the landlord of your shop, we've met dozens of times, and you won't ...... You ......"
Speaking of this, the landlord Lao Zhang looked at Bai Feng a little nervously.
"You...... You're not going to have amnesia, are you?"
"My name is Bai Feng, twenty-two years old, majoring in marketing, weighing 90 kilograms, I don't have amnesia at all, you are a human trafficker, you must be a human trafficker!
Bai Feng skillfully recited his resume, and went to touch the mobile phone, but not only did he not touch the mobile phone, but even the bag was gone.
Seeing that Bai Feng's reaction was becoming more and more intense, Lao Zhang hurriedly put down his rice bowl and raised his hand to step back.
"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go, eat something when you're hungry, don't get excited, don't get excited, it's okay, it's okay. ”
When he retreated to the door of the room, Lao Zhang said again.
"Uh...... Bai Feng, that ...... Your parents are gone, if you don't want to rent, return the shop to me, I'll refund you half a year's rent, or you can sublet it yourself, but...... If you can't pay the rent in half a year, tell your uncle in advance, and your uncle will be ......."
Before he finished speaking, a pillow flew over, and the landlord Zhang immediately exited the room in fright.
Downstairs, the tenants heard Lao Zhang say that the fat girl might have lost her memory, and sighed one by one.
"Oh, this is a good girl, why is she so pitiful, her parents were in a car accident, her boyfriend split her legs, and she lost her memory, what can I do in the future......"
"Yes, yes, hey, landlord, what should I do with this shop? Do you want to take it back? If you rent it again, I'll make a reservation first, our store is just about to expand its business!"
"Wu Laogou, do you still have a conscience, other girls have lost their memory, and you are still worried about other people's shops?"
"That's it, but Lao Zhang, if this is really a transfer or lease, you have to notify us as soon as possible!"
……
When Bai Feng looked at the people downstairs talking about the shop, she carefully recalled what happened before in her mind, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't remember what she had to do with this shop.
