Chapter 52: Community
86_86324 followed Foreman Li a few steps, and I saw two cars and a van parked in front. Except for the strong man just now, everyone got into the car and looked at Foreman Li and me from the window. Foreman Li led me to one of the Audi sedans, opened the driver's door, and sat inside.
I froze in place for a few seconds, then opened the door in the back seat and got into the Audi. There was no one else in the car, only Foreman Li sitting in the driver's seat. There is a fragrance in it, and it smells very pleasant. I looked at the exquisite interior of the car, felt the comfortable cushions under my hips, and said in my heart that where they lived a well-off life, this is a completely bourgeois life.
Could it be that Foreman Li called me here to show me how rich their lives were, so that we might envy them and join them?
That's worth it, I laughed at myself in my heart, if I hadn't heard Lao Chen say that you should be held accountable, we would have come to the door to apply.
Come to think of it, but that's certainly not what Foreman Li meant. When I got in the car, he didn't look at me, as if I didn't have a person. Who knows what the hell he was trying to do when he asked me to sit in the car.
"Liu Wei, you let them vacate the way, otherwise Lao Chen won't be able to pass." Foreman Li stuck his head out of the window and shouted to the strong man. It turned out that the strong man who seemed to be a fitness coach and had a conflict with Wu Linyu was called Liu Wei.
When Liu Wei heard Foreman Li's words, he got into another Toyota car, beckoned the other car, and parked the car on the side of the road. After the other two cars pulled aside, Foreman Li started the car and drove out directly. This makes me feel strange, didn't Liu Wei just say that let Lao Chen open the front. Oh, I forgot, Foreman Li is the big brother here, and what he says counts.
I turned to the side and turned my head to look back. I saw that the truck driven by Lao Chen also started and drove with the Audi. The motorcycle just now, like a traffic police escort, was driving next to the truck.
"Where are you from?" He asked me suddenly. I saw him glancing at me in the rearview mirror of the car.
This Foreman Li, although his nickname is a bit dirty, he must be a cultural person, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he will say something like this, so will the next sentence be, where are you going?
I looked into his eyes in the rearview mirror and replied, "Chongqing." ”
"How?"
"Drive, walk."
"Did you meet anyone else on the way?"
"Yes, the most I have encountered today."
Foreman Li smiled when he heard this, and asked again: "What do you five people do?" ”
I told him the identities of everyone in the team, after all, there was nothing to hide.
"You said that old man was also a soldier?" Foreman Li said with some surprise.
"Of course, there were wars." I replied with some pride.
Foreman Li answered me absentmindedly, as if he was thinking about something.
At this time, a dog suddenly appeared on the road, still holding something in its mouth. Foreman Li honked his horn and scared the dog away from the road. The dog quickly slipped into the alley next to the street and disappeared.
Foreman Li was familiar with the road and drove the car very fast, and not long after, from the rear window of the Audi, there were no shadows of several cars behind.
He took a sip of the cup and said, "You turned your head back seven times." ”
Is there so many times? I haven't counted it myself, I just want to turn my head to see if Duan Ke and his party are okay, but now I can't even see the shadow of the truck.
"Actually, you don't have to be so nervous, I promised you, your friends will be fine, they will be fine." Foreman Li continued, "As long as they don't mess around. ”
"Well," I said, sitting up straight, "what I don't understand is what you mean by you calling me to ride in a car with you?" ”
"Since I'm taking you back, I have to find someone to talk to first, and find out about your situation."
"Know what we're doing?"
"Yes."
The devil knows why he wanted to know about our situation, so I continued, "Wouldn't it be better if you called all five of us and got to know each other together?" ”
But he was silent. What a strange person.
After a while, Foreman Li moved the gear shifter and shifted the sedan gear. He looked at me again in the rearview mirror and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Lou Li." I replied.
"Well, Lou Li, I don't know what Lao Chen told you, but our group of people is not as bad as you imagined." Foreman Li suddenly said a strange word.
"At least not yet." He continued.
I was confused, what the is this, you took our guns with a lot of people, and then forcibly detained us, and said that you are not bad?
"Oh." I said to him in a deliberately cold tone.
Foreman Li probably guessed my thoughts, and when he heard my answer, he said, "Wait a minute, when you get to the community, you will know." ”
When I heard him say this, I imagined that after a while, the car would drive into a community called "Good People Community", and then a group of people, holding up the sign "We are good people", welcomed us?
I don't want to think about it, but our destination seems to be almost there. The car turned into the right lane from an intersection. I noticed that even though there was no car coming from behind, Foreman Li still didn't forget to flash his turning lights. Along this densely wooded path, the car drove all the way to the bottom, and the stall pole that is common at the entrance of the community appeared in front of it, blocking the way. Between the two gear levers, there is a duty pavilion.
Inside the pavilion, there was an old man sitting.
The old man sat in the duty booth, wearing reading glasses, looking at something in his hand, completely oblivious to us. Foreman Li honked the car horn a few times before attracting the old man's attention. The old man looked up at us with one hand in his reading glasses. After he recognized Foreman Li, a faint smile appeared on his face, and then he put down the things in his hand, took off his reading glasses, and walked out of the duty booth.
After he walked out, he manually lifted the gear lever and pushed it to 90 degrees. This old man, most of the hair on his head is white, and he looks much older than Uncle Wang, and it is quite laborious to watch him lift the gear lever. I said in my heart, Foreman Li, didn't you say that you are a good person, and when I arrived at the gate of the community, I saw the scene of exploitation and oppression of the elderly, which was simply a slap in the face.
"Why let the old man do such a thing?" I couldn't help but ask him.
Foreman Li replied casually: "He asked for it himself, saying that it can exercise his body." ”
After the old man pushed the gear lever up, he gestured to Foreman Li to pass. Foreman Li rolled down the window, slowly drove past him, and nodded to the old man.
"The people behind are back, don't put down this pole, so as not to trouble." Foreman Li said to the old man.
The old man nodded slightly, but did not say anything. He didn't notice me in the back seat, maybe he couldn't see clearly.
After Foreman Li finished speaking, he drove the car inside. The greenery in the community is not very good, many trees are still saplings, plus it is winter, a lot of leaves have been dropped, and it looks sparse. The houses in the community have basically not been renovated, and the renovated houses are concentrated in a building at the entrance. It seems that it is not that the house here has not been sold yet, but it has not been for a long time.
Foreman Li parked the car under the building, and I looked out the window at the renovated building, which must have been the place where the lights were turned on last night. Well-off home, survivor alliance, I'm still here.
"Get out of the car, it's here." Foreman Li turned off the car and finally turned his head to talk to me.
After Foreman Li and I got out of the car, we closed the car door together, and the sound of the car door closing resounded in the quiet community. I grabbed the shoulder straps of my backpack and looked around curiously. In this place where people live, there is not much rancid smell, presumably the dead people in this community have been cleaned up by Lao Chen.
I don't know if it was the sound of the car door closing, or my arrival, which alarmed the pet dogs in the community. The silence in the neighborhood was soon broken by the barking of a dog from the building in front of it.
I looked up and saw that on the balcony on the third or fourth floor, several women came out, lying on the guardrail and looking at me and Foreman Li. Next to them, a gigantic golden retriever was barking downstairs. Of these four women, two of them are about the same age as Duan Ke, and they are still a little beautiful from a distance. The other two, I can't tell the specific age, but they should be around thirty or forty years old.
When they recognized my unfamiliar face, they smiled and waved me to say hello. Seeing that they were so enthusiastic, I had no choice but to stiffen my hand and salute in return.
"You're going to love it here." When Foreman Li saw me greeting people in the community, he sat on the wooden chair at the entrance to the building and said to me.
I mechanically waved my hand upstairs and ignored him. The women looked at me for a moment, and then went back into the room, leaving only the eldest standing on top.
She has dyed red curly hair, which is a common type of middle-aged woman in China. She raised her voice and shouted, "Foreman, are they all back?" ”
Foreman Li heard someone calling him, leaned his elbows on the chair and turned sideways, and also raised the decibel of his voice and replied into the building: "Come on, it's all on the way." ”
"Then I'll go prepare lunch, it's all over." The middle-aged woman said, and left the balcony with that.
"Okay, thank you, Sister Li." Foreman Li shouted with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a car came from the entrance of the community. Here they are
