3. Chapter 3
When she parked the car in the garage, she knocked the headlight of the car to the side, and when You Xinian slammed the door and entered the house, she heard her brother You Randong scolding the servant:
"What the hell, I fucking hate the smell of anise, you put it in my wine! Is this a tranquilizer? Deliberately let me sleep badly or what? Visiting home on the first day? Life is too comfortable! β
The servant only promised: "But ......"
You Randong's twin sister You Renxue said: "Okay, Aunt Shen, you go first, pay attention next time." β
The servant glanced at her, with gratitude in his eyes, and immediately left.
"Sister, you just indulge these people who eat rice, what the hell!" You Randong was still scolding, and suddenly there was a huge pain in the back of his head, which made him scream, "Damn! who! β
When she turned her head, it was her eldest sister with a murderous face, and she immediately fell silent.
The baseball that hit him rolled into the corner and was silent.
"What's your name, Mom, I'm your sister. Open and close your mouth are dirty words, who taught you. You Xinnian threw the bag on the table, so loudly.
You Renxue smiled but didn't say anything, You Xinnian threw the ice cubes into the wine, and drank it clean in two sips.
Even if You Randong is arrogant, she is very afraid of her eldest sister, and she was about to call her parents under an excuse, and her parents went downstairs together.
"I've been waiting for you all night, why is there such a big movement as soon as I get home?" Dad smiled, walked towards You Xinnian, opened his arms and said, "My little birthday boy, come and hug Dad." β
You Xinnian said with disgust: "How old are you, you still do this every year." β
was unwilling to be hugged by her father, and her mother also stepped forward to kiss her: "No matter how big you are, it's also your parents' baby." Thank you for coming back tonight for your birthday with your family. β
Mom's eyes were gentle, and she said that You Xin's heart was about to melt: "What is there to thank you for, you should be." You're waiting for me to get to this hour......"
You Renxue set the wine glass and helped pour the wine.
You Randong pushed out the cake and gifts, and said with a smile: "Sister, can you wipe the cake on your face?" Happy and happy. β
You Xinnian smiled sweetly at his parents, and turned his head to his younger brother: "You try." β
You Randong: "...... Eldest sister, you are only 24, and you can't be a face with a bad womb. β
You Renxue and You Randong raised funds to send You Xinnian a holiday villa on a famous island in Southeast Asia. And her parents slapped the car keys in her hands - it was the Aventador who had just become her beloved.
"The car is parked in the garage." The father was very satisfied when he saw his daughter's happy appearance, "Didn't you see it when you came back just now?" β
You Randong said: "It's a birthday gift, of course I have to be surprised, I closed the door of her garage." Hey, sister, don't forget to borrow me for two days. β
You Xinian nodded his brother's eyebrows: "Last time, I borrowed your car and went out to scrape me twice, but this matter has not been cleared up, do you have the ability to worry about my car again?" β
"Why didn't you clear up, and then you and you...... Didn't I buy the ticket to play abroad with Sister Xiaoman? Didn't I book the hotel? β
Mother's eyes turned, and You Randong was about to speak, but You Renxue slapped him on the back of his head, and planted his face directly into the cake.
"I'll go, you ......" You Randong raised his head, his face was black and white, and the whole family couldn't help laughing.
Youjia is very open, different from traditional families in China, and the way family members get along with each other is more like friends.
You Xinnian didn't mention the matter of her aunt blocking the door to borrow money, nor did she think about the unhappiness between her and Lu Man.
This year, it is necessary to coordinate the time of the family of five to go out on vacation together, bask in the sun and chat.
She and her lover can be inseparable and can share everything, but they rarely have time to spend more time with their family, share the happiness of their family, and share their worries.
I don't know if it's because I drank too much wine, You Xinian was a little sentimental tonight, and he remembered a lot of things in a daze.
She remembers her first impression of the world as the incomparable sea and her mother's smile.
She remembers the first time she went to school, the first time she ran on the playground with all her might.
The displeasure when he met Jiang Zhengqing for the first time, and the heartbeat when he met Lu Man for the first time.
Speaking of which, she knew Jiang Zhengqing much earlier.
Probably because he drank a lot of alcohol, You Xinnian was very hot and sleepy.
She remembers stumbling into the garage and seeing her new car.
Beautiful lines, quiet and sharp temperament, it stopped quietly in the dark, You Xinian opened the car door several times and finally opened it and fell in.
The car was scented with her favorite English pears and freesias. She exhaled softly into her sense of smell, and had a good dream.
I had a long, long dream in the car, like on the surface of the sea, and like in the sea.
It was dark all around, and there were dark blue water streaks on your hand. Colorful deep-sea fish swam past her, she could breathe, and she could still smell the fragrance.
In the distance, a figure swam towards her, through the thick darkness, and stretched out a white hand to her.
It's Lu Man.
She was reassured, and a smile twitched at the corner of her mouth.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Moonlit nights, broken buildings, commissaries.
A bulging mass of flesh struggled through the darkness. The lump of flesh walked pantingly on the potholed path, lifting his pants from time to time, the thin soles of his shoes could not step on the road, and the soles of his feet were always sore from stones.
After walking for a long time, I finally saw a dimly lit store.
Wang Fang wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his thick palm, his mind was still in chaos, his heartbeat was going from his chest all the way to his throat, and the muscles in his body were stiff like stones. After hesitating for a moment at the entrance of the commissary, he finally squeezed through the door.
As soon as the commissary opened, the cold wind immediately poured in, blowing the turbid heat in the house.
The boss, who was sitting in the glass cabinet and watching TV, had oily hair and a messy look, and when he glanced at the visitor, most of the overhead light was blocked, and a disc-like face was blocked in front of him.
"Carbon." Wang Fang said, "Carbon. β
Boss: "Huh? β
"For barbecue, charcoal." In the winter, beads of sweat on Wang Fang's forehead flowed down her cheeks.
"Whoa." The boss didn't bother to get up, took a plastic bag out, and showed her the way with his eyes, "Inside, in the basin, take it yourself." β
Wang Fang lowered her head and walked sideways from the front of the shelf with difficulty. There happened to be a woman with a ponytail in her way, and the two looked at each other, twisted their bodies and thought about the wrong way. Wang Fang struggled to move with one hand against the wall, and the woman was almost pushed into the shelves by her.
The boss took a look, touched his chin and smiled, and then watched TV.
Wang Fang packed a big bag of carbon and walked out, her stubby fingers were black, and she came back to settle the bill.
The boss counted and asked, "Do you still have a barbecue on such a cold day?" β
Wang Fang did not answer.
The boss thinks about it, nonsense, can there be days to block fat people from eating all year round?
"Twenty bucks."
Wang Fang went out with carbon, walked forward with her head down, took two steps and suddenly woke up, turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
The woman with a ponytail also walked out, opened the drink, looked at Wang Fang's back while drinking, pondered for a moment, and followed.
Although it is only separated from the wealthy district by a bridge, this area has been the "slum" of G City for many years. Some office workers with little money all went to the eastern CBD to buy and rent houses; Media people and the Internet have tossed the north into a forest of high-rise buildings; In the west, there are dignitaries who live all year round; The southern coast is occupied by a circle of villas. This is also the south, but it is a shadow area left under the rapid development of G City.
Backed by the largest waste factory in G City, Xishuigou Dongli Community, you know that it has a lot of history and even a taste.
Now the developers are eager to steal the names of places all over the world, and the suffixes of the new real estate are what Paris, what Champs, all kinds of famous capitals, all kinds of mansions, it sounds like birds and flowers, and the average price of 45,000 yuan is rising tirelessly.
The actual situation of the house in the east of Xishuigou is worse than its name.
Wang Fang's place of work is in the east, but the house in the east is too expensive, and the partition that can't see the sun all day long costs her half a month's salary.
A girl's family living alone in a small dilapidated building without a security guard should have potential safety hazards, but Wang Fang has a big heart and feels that she has no wealth and no color, which blind thief will climb into her house?
Aoki paneled doors, concrete floors, walls cracked into a world map, and water-stained roofs. In the dark sky, the wind gusted in the corridor, blowing small advertising notes swaying. This house is only Wang Fang can live, she has no pursuit of material, or she has no ability to pursue, she has lived here for almost a year and has no plans to move her nest - but anyone who changes people will definitely not be able to stand the atmosphere of holographic horror movies every day.
In this dilapidated house, the landlord is still very precious. Also, the landlord has guarded this house for most of his life, waiting for the demolition compensation, but no one is willing to move the land in the west ditch. At that time, the god stick in the village was right, the feng shui of this place was not very good, and the landlord and uncle were sick when they lived here, and his wife died unexpectedly in the house. After that, his son was filial and bought a new house on Rongjing North Road next door and took his old man to live together, and a few years passed, and the old disease did not recur. Uncle thinks that this house is really evil, and he doesn't dare to come back to live, but it's not a way to be empty, and now the housing prices in G City are so high, even if the place in Xishuigou can be rented for two or three thousand yuan a month.
Since the house was rented out, the landlord still thinks about it from time to time, for fear that the fat girl who rented the house with a black and decrepit face will damage his house, and he will walk back from time to time to take a look.
Today's weather is not good, the north wind is strong, the landlord stayed at his son's side and didn't want to go out, and suddenly received a call from an old neighbor.
"Hey, grandson, where are you?"
The landlord said to drink tea at home.
The old neighbor's tone was a little anxious: "Can you still sit still?" Why didn't I see you walking today? β
"Isn't it windy? My old cold legs are shivering, and they hurt when they touch the ground. What's wrong? β
"Tell me, it's such a coincidence. When I picked up my granddaughter from school just now, I saw that the tenant of your house came back with a large plastic bag of carbon, and she still kept her head and asked her not to agree. I see you come back quickly, I don't think it's good. β
When the landlord heard this, he was really angry: "What? You want to barbecue at home?! What's going on, ouch, how many times have I told me before, don't cook at home, what if it causes a fire! It's so fat, and it's still eating! β
The old neighbor almost fainted when he heard this: "I said you...... Barbecue fart! As far as she doesn't pull a few days long, how can she have the heart to barbecue, she is going to commit suicide! β
The landlord was stunned.
"I felt something was wrong with her the other day, walking and walking in the ditch by herself, standing in the corridor in the middle of the night without sleeping, and sometimes crying in the house. Come back and take a look, in case someone dies again, this house will really not be rented in the future. β
The landlord shook the phone and ran away, stopped a three-jumper and went to the west ditch.
When he got to the ground, he threw money to the three jumpers, and ran up to the third floor with the same legs and feet as he had fifty years ago, and saw that the old neighbor was already standing at the door, and a young woman with a ponytail was lying on the crack of the door.
"Plug the door gaps, something must be wrong." The ponytail woman pushed the door and asked, "Are you the landlord?" Is there a key? β
The landlord gasped and said, "Who are you?" β
"She said she was a police officer." The old neighbor chimed in.
The ponytail woman showed them her ID: "I met her when I was shopping at the commissary, and I saw that she bought a large amount of carbon, and she was in a trance, and she followed her for fear that something would happen." Hurry up and give me the key, there was no movement in the door for a long time just now. β
The landlord hurriedly handed over the key and shouted into the door: "Wang Fang, are you there?" Open the door! Don't think about it! It's better to die than to live, you will be fatter, there are more people who are fatter than you, and you don't see everyone die. Don't die in it! Did you hear that? β
The policewoman rolled her eyes and opened the lock, but the door was still stuck. She stepped back and slammed the door hard, and it bounced out, hitting a wobbling body in mid-air.
As soon as the door opened, in addition to the smell of carbon monoxide, there was a behemoth hanging in the air.
Wang Fang's feet were dangling in the air, and there was a chair that had fallen to the ground next to her. She wore her hair loose and a rope around her neck, which creaked like a crumbling bell.
"My mother-" The landlord and the old neighbor were so frightened that they almost peed their pants, and at the same time they exclaimed, the rope "snapped" and broke, and Wang Fang slammed into the ground with a loud noise.
The landlord rolled his eyes and fainted completely, but fortunately the old neighbor pulled him, otherwise he would have broken his tail vertebrae.
The policewoman was also stunned by this terrifying scene for a few seconds, slowed down and walked into the house quickly, pushed all the windows open, and then returned to Wang Fang's side, probing her nose and heartbeat, and there was no life.
is resolute in death, carbon monoxide plus hanging, for fear that he will not die.
The policewoman sighed slightly in her heart, and heard a voice outside the house.
"What's going on? Killed? β
"What's that? Corpses? β
The policewoman looked back and saw that several young people had just returned from work, standing at the door and sticking their necks.
"Nothing to see, nothing to do?" The policewoman came over and stopped them, "Let's all go back." β
"Is it dead?" A middle-aged woman raised her voice and said, "Murder? We all live in this building, and of course we have the right to know! β
"That's it! Who are you? Tube so much? β
The policewoman said, "I'm a police officer. β
"Police? Do the police have a job like you? Making a movie, huh? β
The policewoman is not a good-tempered person, and you have fought with the other party several times with each other.
The old neighbor called for first aid and the police, and the landlord just took a breath on the steps, opened his eyes, and suddenly saw Wang Fang twitching through the crowd, and his mouth was full of thoughts:
"Hmm...... Hmmm......"
"What's the matter, the police are amazing? The police can just point at others and talk? Don't sue me, you don't know who pays you every month, it's all us, the taxpayers! You have to drink the northwest wind without us, you know? β
The landlord's eyes were about to fall out, and he raised his hand and pointed in Wang Fang's direction: "Ah...... Ah......h
"I didn't mean you."
"Why didn't you point to me! This finger isn't yours? β
"I'm just motioning for you to be quiet."
"Quiet? I love to be noisy, can you control it? Yes? What's wrong with me yelling? I just screamed, ahh β
Wang Fang trembled, and suddenly shouted, "It's too fatββ! "I sat up!
Passerby: "......"
Policewoman: "......"
The landlord and old neighbor: "......"
Several pairs of eyes looked at Wang Fang, who had come back from the dead, and the air froze for a while.
Wang Fang coughed and slowly propped herself up.
"She, how did she live?"
Hearing the voice, Wang Fang turned around. A pair of eyes with a sharp gaze and a strange liquid on his reddened lips.
"You ......" Wang Fang slowly raised her hand and stretched out to them.
"Hell ββ!"
The old neighbors shouted hoarsely, and everyone scattered in all directions.
