This is an anti-theft stamp

Lu Yingyi stared at the signboard of "Rose Villa Family Hotel" hanging under the eaves of the door suspiciously for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth, pushed open the door and walked in. The front yard is not large, lush with many flowers and trees, and there are floor lamps erected on the side of the blue brick and stone road, sprinkling a warm yellow light, quiet and stable. Lu Yingyi gently pushed open the door, there was a small living room, there were a few dining tables, a woman was behind the counter to keep accounts, heard the sound, raised her head and shouted, "Welcome." ”

As soon as Lu Ying walked in, he asked a little uncertainly, "Is this a hotel?"

The woman looked twenty-seven or eighteen years old, dressed plainly, and had an introverted personality, she nodded and whispered: "Yes, Rose Mountain Villa Family Hotel, stay for fifty weeks for a week, including breakfast, and you can also add money to partner." ”

Lu Yingyi asked again: "Fifty is ...... Renminbi?"

The woman nodded again: "Well, yes." Seeing that Lu Yingyi still looked uneasy, he immediately explained, "I...... Our store is not very good, and the owner is doing business for interest, so the service is not so particular, and the fee is not high. What if you ...... If you don't feel at ease, you can try to stay for one night before making a decision. ”

Lu Ying asked with an "oh", "Can you give me the cheapest room?"

The woman said: "Fifty a week is the cheapest price for a single room, but you can't see the view in the room, and the bathroom and toilet are shared, is this okay?" The woman didn't know, the more she said this, the more relieved Lu Ying was, it was already like a pie in the sky to have a single room at this price, and pies are usually not so easy to eat.

Lu Yingyi said, "Okay, then I'll try it for one night." He handed over the ID card, and the woman took it and looked at it, and did not comment on the address of the luxury community registered on it, but just copied and issued the bill with her hands and feet, and then took the key and gave it to him, "The last room at the end of the corridor on the second floor." ”

Lu Ying climbed upstairs. The building is full of traces of time, with wooden escalators covered with old woven carpets, and walls lined with old photographs, the earliest of which look from the first half of the last century, with a beautiful woman throughout. Lu Ying thought about it for a while, and felt that the woman in this photo was quite similar to the woman behind the counter just now, and she didn't know what the relationship between the two was.

There is a row of rooms in the corridor on the second floor, without a door, and there seems to be a first floor up again. There was no light on the porch, and if it weren't for a window at the end of the hallway, I wouldn't have been able to see anything clearly. Lu Ying slowed down her steps, slowed down her breathing, and pricked up her ears to listen. The sound of a television coming from behind two doors showed that there were people inside. Someone, it's fine.

As soon as Lu Ying found his room, the door number said 222, he suddenly felt a little funny, inserted the key, and opened the wooden door.

In the early morning of the second day, Lu Yingyi woke up in the sweet fragrance of flowers. Sunlight shines through the cracks in the blinds, illuminating the interior. I didn't take a closer look last night, but when I got up this morning, I found that this hotel was really good, although the room was small, but it was neatly furnished, and there were all the living utensils that should be there, and the furniture was still old-fashioned wooden furniture, exuding a good smell, and it was many times better than the dirty and smelly basements where he had lived in the past.

As soon as Lu Ying got up, took the toiletries, and was about to open the door, he thought of something again, he bent down, first felt a thin transparent line in the corner of the wall, slowly pulled it out, put it aside, and then stepped over and opened the door. The bathroom was in the middle of the corridor, and when Lu Ying passed, someone happened to come out, but he couldn't see it clearly, only a back, a very tall man.

The overall decoration of the bathroom is good, hygienic and tidy, and there is even a vase on the washstand and a blooming rose. Lu Ying looked at the blooming flower, and his mood couldn't help but improve, he hummed the song "Purr" to clean up for himself, took a shower, and went back to change into clean clothes before going downstairs. The breakfast room of Rose Hill is the living room downstairs, and there is already a table of people sitting at this time, looking like a family of three coming out to play, the woman I saw last night is gone, and behind the counter is a man who is busy.

That is probably the man Lu Ying had seen in the morning, a very tall man! Lu Ying himself is not short, 1.83 meters tall, but in front of this person is still about half a head, Lu Ying suspects that this person must be at least 1.95 meters or more, at this time he is wearing a short-sleeved vest, showing his toned figure and performing an omelette. Lu Yingyi's eyes were cast, and the latter immediately raised his head and said accurately to his position, "Good morning." ”

"Good morning. Although he was slightly surprised in his heart, Lu Yingyi's face did not show it, he stepped forward and said, "I am a tenant in Room 222......

The man said, "Yes." Sit casually, and breakfast will be delivered to you. ”

Lu Ying picked a position against the wall and sat down, watching the man work behind the dining table. Looking at a man with five big and three thick, his movements were incredibly light and agile, he skillfully fried eggs, boiled noodles, and cut out the shape of a small animal with a knife. Lu Ying looked at those hands and thought, this is really a good pair of knives!

After a while, the man finished his work and served food to Lu Ying and a few people one after another. The family of three served with Italian bacon pasta with omelette, two slices of butter toast per person, a vegetable salad with a glass of fresh orange juice, and a child's pasta replaced with Chinese-style rotten noodles with carrot slices that were sliced into small animals. As soon as Lu Ying got his hands, he got a bowl of light vegetable and lean porridge with three small plates of pickles, and a large bun. Lu Ying wanted to ask how the breakfast was different, but before he could speak, the man had already brought the kitchen utensils to the back to clean, and Lu Ying was drinking porridge and listening to the family next door chatting.

The woman at the table next to her was saying that the hotel was good, the charge was so low, and I thought it was a black shop, but the accommodation conditions were quite good, and the man said, yes, we were lucky this time, if it wasn't for Xiao Wang to book the wrong hotel for us, we wouldn't have the opportunity to live here, and we can come again next time. Lu Ying was drinking the fragrant porridge, and was listening energetically, when he heard the sound of "dong" in his ears, he was startled, followed by the sound of a "click" piledriver, which shook the whole house.

"What's the matter?" the family was startled, and put down their knives and forks and stood up. Lu Yingyi's seat was facing the floor-to-ceiling glass window, and when he looked at it from afar, he saw a huge excavator waving its steel arm and digging with a shovel on the nearby ground.

The man from before came out of the back kitchen and said to a few people: "It's construction site, don't panic, I'll talk to them." He pushed the door open and walked out. Lu Ying saw him talking and gesturing with a man wearing a hard hat and a suit, and after a while, the two walked away together.

Lu Ying had nothing to do, so she went back to her room and lay down after breakfast and paid a month's rent. Qin Weifeng previously said that he sleeps in addition to eating every day, in fact, there is nothing wrong, Boss Qin is rich and hires part-time workers to clean the house, unless Lu Ying cooks, there is not much housework to do, and at the same time, Lu Ying has neither a job nor hobbies, so he can only focus on eating and sleeping. He looked at the ceiling, his ears were full of "click-and-click" sounds, and the building trembled, and the lamp on the ceiling swayed with him, as if he was about to fall.

The family of three checked out after eating, they were originally because the person who booked the hotel made the wrong time, so they would be one night, and another small couple was noisy by the noise of the construction. Lu Ying thought about it, no wonder the charges for such a good hotel are so low, if it is so noisy every day, it is really unbearable.

He lay down for a while, bored and noisy, and decided to go to the third floor to have a look. Just now he heard the family of three say that the third floor was an attic library, and Lu Ying thought that he could find a newspaper to see if there was a job posting to give it a try. He climbed up to the third floor, pushed the door in, but saw a room of about 100 square meters full of sunshine, the walls were full of bookshelves, a person sitting in a wheelchair was selecting books, hearing Lu Yingyi's movement, the person turned the wheelchair and turned back, it was an old woman with a graceful and luxurious temperament.

Zhuo Yang was keenly aware of the changes in the air, he didn't know why, but he still stood in front of Lu Yingyi for the first time, blocking the old man and Lu Yingyi's gaze. The old man obviously noticed Zhuo Yang's movements, he looked Zhuo Yang up and down, and then showed an appreciative smile, bowed slightly, and said: "Hello, the surname is Li, Li Jingshu, Muzi Li, the beautiful scenery of Liangchen, and the book of the scholarly family." ”

Zhuo Yang passively greeted: "Hello, who are you?"

"I'm the butler of the Lu family," he said with a smile, "Behind you is the eldest young master of my family." ”

Zhuo Yang knocked on the door and entered the bedroom that belonged to him and now belonged to him and Lu Yingyi.

Due to the limited number of rooms in Rose Villa, in order to attract more business, Lu Yingyi simply vacated his room and moved to Zhuoyang's room, anyway, the latter's room is larger than the average guest room, and no matter how much extra bed there is, it will not be crowded. When Zhuo Yang entered, Lu Yingyi was lying on his own bed and didn't know what he was thinking, he was originally lazy and didn't look like he was there, but at this time it was more like he had no bones.

Zhuo Yang put the dinner plate on the table aside, sat on the side of his bed and asked, "Does the wound still hurt?"

Lu Yingyi didn't answer him, and seemed to be still in a trance. Zhuo Yang looked at him for a while, and suddenly felt not very happy, stretched out his hand, gently pulled Lu Yingyi's face over, leaned in and asked, "Does the wound still hurt?" Lu Yingyi didn't react at first, but when his eyes rolled around, he met Zhuo Yang's enlarged face, and suddenly let out a "whoop", and the whole person bounced up like a shrimp, if Zhuo Yang hadn't let it go quickly, his forehead would probably have to hit again.

"Ouch, it's you," Lu Yingyi couldn't help but complain after finding out that it was Zhuo Yang, "I was almost scared to death by you, why didn't you call me when you came in!"

"Shouted, you didn't hear me. Zhuo Yang was finally relieved to see him alive, but what was the flash of amazement in Lu Ying's eyes just now? Zhuo Yang was sure that he was not mistaken.

"Are you hungry, I'll bring you food. ”

Lu Ying sat up, dragged the chair in front of him, and motioned for Zhuo Yang to put the dinner plate on the chair. Tonight's dinner is sweet and sour pork ribs, winter melon and open ocean, stir-fried vegetables and a bowl of tomatoes and lo mein. Lu Ying's face changed slightly as soon as he saw the bowl of noodles, and after a while, he took a bite of the noodles and asked vaguely, "Yes...... What did he do?"

Zhuo Yang nodded, he knew that Lu Yingyi was not an ordinary person, but he didn't expect Lu Yingyi to be a big young master, but no matter what Lu Yingyi's identity was, in his eyes, Lu Yingyi was still that Lu Yingyi, whether he was the eldest young master or a canary did not affect Zhuo Yang's opinion of him, Zhuo Yang only believed in the Lu Yingyi he saw with his eyes.

Lu Ying was silent, and silently ate the meal and said, "I want to eat strawberries, strawberries, I'll wash them." ”

As he was talking, there was a knock at the door, and a voice came: "Young Master, I'll collect the dishes and chopsticks." ”

Zhuo Yang got up and opened the door, and saw Li Jingshu standing outside the door, holding a dinner plate in his hand, on which were two small bowls of washed and divided strawberries, red and bright in crystal cups, with fruit bowls and fruit forks next to them. Seeing Zhuo Yang, Li Jingshu nodded slightly and thanked him before entering the house. He neatly took away the empty plate that Lu Yingyi had eaten, put down the fruit in front of him, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lu Yingyi.

"Uncle Jing. Lu Yingyi called softly, and Li Jingshu's expression changed in an instant. Although he was polite and friendly before, at this time, Zhuo Yang was able to clearly read how soft and affectionate the true heart hidden under his reserved expression was. He must be very fond of Lu Yingyi, Zhuo Yang thought.

"Zhuo Yang, I'm sorry, can I trouble you to leave first?" Lu Yingyi asked embarrassedly.

Zhuo Yang nodded: "I'll take the empty plate down." He took the plate from Li Jingshu's hand (the latter thanked him) and left the room.

"Uncle Jing, how did you find me......" Before the door closed, Zhuo Yang heard this last sentence. He paused slightly, then picked up his plate and went downstairs.

There were few people standing in the empty mourning hall, and Lin Xueping was dressed in the mourning clothes of her family members, standing in the crowd calmly. Lele crouched aside, playing with her stuffed doll, which her father had bought for her, and her father ...... Lin Xueping slowly turned her head and looked at the empty altar, where the transparent coffin would arch out after a while, and the man who was knocked to pieces, missing arms and legs, would put on makeup after stitching, and lay there quietly, waiting for his few relatives, friends and friends to send him on his last journey to the world.

"Sister-in-law, the festival is changing!" Lin Xueping turned her head and saw a gentle and elegant face. It was her husband's high school classmate, named Huang Yang, who was young but was already the deputy director of the city museum, with a high salary and fame, on the other hand, her husband used to have an enviable job, but in the end it fell into his own hands.

Do you hate? Lin Xueping asked herself. At the beginning, I did hate, they were also talented women, known as a very good pair, at that time Wang Dong had just entered the police force, it was the most high-spirited time, he wore a police uniform handsome appearance and fascinated a group of little girls, and then they got married smoothly, and then she gave birth to a daughter, and lived a sweet family life of three. However, I don't know when, Wang Dong changed, he became rude, vulgar, and short-tempered, he became addicted to gambling, and even extorted money as a police officer in order to raise gambling funds, and was finally expelled from the police force and almost suffered a lawsuit, but he did not learn his lesson, and since then he has become more degenerate, and finally embarked on a road of no return for social gangsters.

Lin Xueping didn't understand how a good person became like this, thinking back on the first half of her life, she almost had a sense of unreality like sleepwalking, she even felt that maybe one day when she opened her eyes, everything would return to the way it was, Wang Dong still loved her, her little family was still happy, and then she could throw herself into the arms of men, coquettishly complained: "Husband, I had a nightmare......

The master of ceremonies spoke from the loudspeaker: "Mr. Wang Dong's memorial service is about to begin, please keep quiet." ”

Lin Xueping shuddered and woke up from her trance.

Life is a nightmare, but a nightmare that you will never wake up from!

The memorial service ended quickly, because Wang Dong had neither the leader of the unit to speak, nor many people willing to come to see him for the last time. Lin Xueping calmly accepted people's half-hearted concern, handed them candy, and then asked her mother's family to lead them into a rented car and send them to eat tofu rice.

It wasn't until everyone was empty that Lin Xueping found that Huangyang was still there. He was crouching in front of Lele, trying to communicate with her. Lele was originally a very cheerful and lively little girl, but later because of Wang Dong's sake was frightened, after an incident in which Wang Dong was beaten all over in blood, Lele changed, she became autistic, became silent, never smiled again, and was only willing to say a few more words when playing with the plush doll.

Lin Xueping walked over and heard Huang Yang persistently talking to Lele: "Is this your little friend?

"What Lele likes to eat, I'll buy it for you next time my uncle comes to see you. ”

"Lele, you can't always be bored at home like this, uncle will take you to the amusement park next time, there are a lot of fun things in the amusement park, do you like to ride the merry-go-round?"

"It's useless. Lin Xueping smiled bitterly, "She has been like this since a year ago, I have taken her to see many doctors, but they can't help it." ”

Lele didn't seem to hear the conversation between her mother and Huang Yang, and still insisted on playing with her little friend. Her little friend is a Blue Sister doll from "The Smurfs", with blonde hair, a white hat, a white skirt and a pair of white high heels. She took her hand and moved it as if she were dancing.

"Sister-in-law, if it goes on like this, Lele will be ruined. Huang Yang said.

"I know, I know...... However, there is no way to ......" Lin Xueping's eyes finally condensed tears, even if Wang Dong's body was placed in front of her just now, she didn't cry, the tears shed for Wang Dong had already dried up in the years.

Huang Yang sighed, he took out a wad of money from his pocket and stuffed it into Lin Xueping's hand: "Sister-in-law, I know that you are difficult to be alone, this is a little careful, you can accept it." Also, this is my business card, if you need anything, you can come to me at any time, Ah Dong is my good friend, his family is also my family, you can rest assured, I will definitely find a way to cure Lele's illness! Sister-in-law, don't cry, don't cry......"

Lin Xueping finally cried out with a "wow".

Wang Dong died, her man died, and it was not until this moment that the pain suppressed in the bottom of this woman's heart finally broke through the ice covered by layers of heart knots and gushed out.

The old woman came forward in a wheelchair and said, "You are the new Mr. Lu, I heard my granddaughter Xiaoyan say, my surname is Luo, you can call me Granny Luo, is there anything that can help you?"

Lu Yingyi hurriedly said, "Hello Granny Luo, I'm ...... I'm looking for a newspaper to look for. ”

Granny Luo skillfully shook the wheelchair aside, picked up a newspaper from the table and said, "This is a new arrival today, the previous ones are on the newspaper rack over there, if you want to go to the recruitment network, there is a computer on the table there." ”

Lu Ying took the newspaper and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Granny Luo." ”

Granny Luo said, "Then I won't bother you, you can watch slowly." With that, he shook his wheelchair and went outside.

Lu Yingyi said, "Granny Luo, are you going downstairs, do you need my help?"

Granny Luo turned her head with a smile and said, "Thank you, but Zhuo Yang will help me." ”

As soon as Lu Ying was puzzled, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and after a while, the tall man he had just seen appeared at the door. Granny Luo said: "He is Zhuo Yang, my housekeeper, cook and waiter here, decathlon, responsive, if you have any needs, you can ask him for help." ”

Zhuo Yang seems to be a character who cherishes words like gold, and when he heard this, he just nodded at Lu Ying, bent down and hugged Granny Luo, followed by a slight pause, and said, "Mother-in-law, you have lost weight again." ”

Granny Luo smiled embarrassedly like a girl who had discovered her little secret. Zhuo Yang said: "You can't do this, if you don't eat well, your body will have problems, and I will call Dr. Wang to come and see you later." As he spoke, he went downstairs.
