Chapter 15: A Glimmer of Hope

Is it not trivial to have a fire at home?

When I was stunned and stared at the TV screen, Yan Di had already noticed that my face was inappropriate. When I asked, I found out that it was actually a fire in my house!

She dropped the food in her hand, jumped up with me and rushed out of the freezing shop, flagged down a taxi on the street, and ran home.

Along the way, I didn't say a word.

I have a feeling in my heart, from the "bloody disaster" to the small extortion of the property company. Then there was a big jackpot, and then there was a fire in the house.

It's all like heads and tails. It seems that as long as I am unlucky, it will be a good fortune. In the same way, as long as I have good luck, then something unlucky will happen to me immediately.

Is all this really because of the ring on my hand?

Seeing that my face was not good, Yan Di thought that I was just worried about my family, Wen Yan comforted me a few words, I just smiled faintly, and didn't say anything to her.

The entrance to the community was already blocked, and the car couldn't get in at all, so I simply got out of the taxi and dragged Yan Di all the way to the building where I lived.

At this point, the firefighting work has ended, and the fire has long been extinguished. Just standing downstairs and looking up, the windows of the place where I live on the third floor have been smashed, presumably by the firefighters when they were fighting the fire, and there are fire trucks parked downstairs, and some firefighters are packing up their tools and moving the long water pipe back to the car. Suddenly, I saw that the landlord had also arrived, talking to a few people in jǐng suits.

As soon as I walked over, the landlord had already seen me, and he suddenly screamed, like a cat whose tail had been trampled on, with a resentful expression on his face, and then pounced on me with his teeth and claws, as if he wanted to slap me to death......

I saw that his body had jumped up, and he was in mid-air, with a pull of his left palm, wasn't that the legendary five poisons piercing the heart palm? The right fist is clenched, although the volume is a little smaller, but it is the extremely vicious "black family heart". And under his feet, he put on a posture of shadowless legs......

I never thought that a thin, short, honest middle-aged man would be forced to be like this in a fit of rage!

Seeing him rushing over with his teeth and claws, and was about to fight with me, I quickly flashed to the side and shouted, "Stop!" ”

"No more nonsense! Chen Yang, today is either you die or I die! The landlord was imposing, with tears in his eyes: "My house...... I've worked hard all my life to save a house......"

Cut, less loaded! Who doesn't know that this guy is a "house worm", taking advantage of the low housing prices a few years ago, he bought several houses with loans, and then rented them out at a high price, and the rent we paid every month was enough to repay the bank loan. And now housing prices have risen wildly in recent years, and this guy is also making a windfall!

"Chen Yang, if you don't make it clear today, I'll fight with you!" The landlord gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "The cause of the fire has been investigated, and it was caused by your indiscriminate wiring in the kitchen!" ”

Belch...... Indeed, because I was lazy, I put a high-powered electric stove in the kitchen...... It's a very powerful thing, but it's very fast...... But the power of that thing does seem to be exceeded......

The landlord was already about to come up and grab my clothes, I frowned slightly, but when I saw that there were still a few jǐng cha on the side, I just opened his hand and sighed: "Okay, don't worry, I won't pay the bill." I will pay for the damage caused by the fire. ”

I know this guy is greedy and stingy, and the house must not be insured.

And the people who live upstairs and downstairs here are not rich people, and if my house is on fire, it will definitely hurt the neighbors. I'm not a good person, but I'm not a scoundrel either, and I don't want those innocent neighbors to suffer.

As soon as I heard that I was willing to compensate, the landlord put down the posture of "Wang Ba punching randomly" and breathed a sigh of relief.

After some haggling, I promised to pay 50,000 yuan in compensation, and then pay an additional 20,000 yuan to compensate my neighbors. After that, the landlord went back with Jǐng to record the confession.

There were a lot of people around to watch the excitement, and Yan Di and I separated the crowd and went upstairs to go home.

The door has been smashed open by the firefighters, and when I walked in, I saw that the living room was already a mess, the floor was already full of water stains, the walls were also burned and half charred, and the kitchen was even more in ruins, what refrigerators, microwave ovens, etc., all were finished, and there was a thick layer of firefighting foam floating on the ground.

The tiles on the walls are all gone.

The two bedrooms in the house, my master bedroom near the kitchen, are also derelicted. The fire spread to the bedroom, half of the furniture was scorched, and only a shelf was left in the bed, and nothing left was a pile of rags in sheets and quilts.

Luckily, the only minor area was my small room. There wasn't much in this room either, there were things like a TV and computer, and a set of gym equipment. This small room is close to the balcony, but the doors and windows of the balcony are also smashed.

Obviously, when the fire broke out on the front, the firefighter who put out the fire climbed into the room from the other side of the building, my balcony, to put out the fire.

There is not much loss here, but when the fire was extinguished, a large amount of water sprayed had poured into the room, and the ground had already become a vast ocean, and the two floor stereos I put on the ground seemed to be hanging, alas, this is a good thing worth nearly 10,000 yuan.

Looking at this, I was really irritated. glanced at Yan Di, Yan Di saw that I was silent, and he didn't dare to speak, just stood silently behind me.

"Little Fifth Brother......" she said cautiously, "Don't be angry...... The things at home are burned out, and you can buy them again. ”

I nodded, but there was an indescribable depression in my heart.

How to put it, it's as if there is a hand in the dark controlling all this happening. This feeling makes me very unhappy!

Taking a deep breath, I smiled a little, "Okay, it's just a little disaster." Hey...... Anyway, there wasn't much to lose. This house is not mine, so it's a big deal that I can live in a different place. ”

Then Yan Di helped me clean up the things that didn't burn out, and found a few sets of clothes that could still be worn, I thought about it, the biggest question at the moment is, where will I live in the next few days?

Seeing that Yan Di was helping me sort out my clothes, I walked outside, kicked away a broken wooden board that had fallen to the ground, and then took out my mobile phone to call the property company that I had blackmailed.

That guy promised to rent me a house!

After the phone was called, the guy kept his word and said that the house would not be in arrears, but he would have to wait for two days to do it, and he made an appointment to go to him to see the house the day after tomorrow. I breathed a sigh of relief and thought to myself, I would have to sleep in the company for two nights for the time being.

"Little Fifth Brother, what is this? Is it still useful? I threw it away if it didn't work? ”

Yan Di's voice came from the room, I walked in to take a look, only to see her holding a stack of things in her hand, I took a look at it, and couldn't help but be surprised!

This is actually the investigation report and product manual about this ring that the madman gave me!

I thought it burned out, but now I remember it, and luckily I didn't put it in my bedroom. Originally, I didn't believe that these things were real, and I took them back and threw them on my computer.

Unfortunately, I had hoped to find some valuable answers from the "product manual", but the product manual was placed on the top page, and half of it had been destroyed, and the rest was unrecognizable, leaving only a few suspicious lines of staccato text.

I watched it for a long time, and all I could see was the words "accept", "luck signal", and "improve luck", which were similar to what the madman who sold me said, and had no value.

I was depressed, but I saw a small line of text at the bottom of the survey form.

"Welcome to our official website: ......"

My heart moved, as if I had finally found a glimmer of hope. However, the circuit at home has been cut off for a long time, and there is no way to access the Internet. I thought about it, the Internet café environment outside is too messy, so it's better to go to the company. The company's finances have a computer, and it's quiet there.

Yan Di had already packed my remaining clothes into a small leather bag, and then I pulled her out of the house, I asked Yan Di to go home first, although she was not worried about me, but I comforted her a few words, telling her that I was going to the company, and I would live in the company for the next two days.

Yan Di didn't seem to want to go back to that place, so he hesitated for a moment and went home in obedience.

After sending Yan Di away, I immediately took a car to the company, but I haven't gone to work yet, and there is no one in the company, so I can just use the financial computer.

But after getting in the car,I suddenly remembered one thing:Yan Di is a person from the lottery center,Today out of my winning,I'm afraid her lottery sales work will be difficult to continue.

Also, my passbook and bank card at home have been burned, and I have to go to the bank tomorrow to report the loss and reapply for it...... There's still a whole bunch of big and small things to deal with...... Alas, annoying!

Glancing at the ring on his hand again, he couldn't help but feel a faint sense of awe in his heart.

Can this little thing really control my fate?
