Chapter 23: Mutual Inquiry

Today's live broadcast income is very good, Chiba is very satisfied, a netizen named "Leopard Lei", a one-time brush of five hundred yuan, is really a big deal.

It seems that this is really a doorway to make quick money, and it won't be long before she can scrape together 10,000 yuan.

Having said that, she still felt a little "eaten". Stuffing sixty buns in one go, it is uncomfortable for anyone. It's not that it's indigestion due to excessive intake, but that the steamed buns that were originally regarded as delicious have been stuffed into a strange taste experience, and the meaning of greasy is probably nothing more than that.

A thick stream of gas from her digestive tract poured into her throat, and she retched. I ran to the bathroom and vomited a few times and couldn't vomit it, and suddenly remembered that the sour horn given by Da Mao was a good thing for Shengjin to compress air, so I found it and ate a few in succession.

"Knock-knock-"

The strange, imminent voice sounded again, as if it came from Song Yingchen's locked bedroom, and as if it came from the sound of the upstairs occupants.

She frowned, not frightened except for a slight curiosity, for it had long been commonplace. Almost every night, I can hear some strange movements, just like that, not for long, not noisy, and nothing special happens.

She asked herself to restrain her curiosityβ€”Lu Meiqin's generosity, her status as an outsider, these things were always a reminder to her not to act contrary to the spirit of the contract.

"Bang dang!"

Just as he was about to turn a deaf ear, suddenly a louder noise came, and this time he could hear it clearly, the sound was not coming from Song Yingchen's bedroom, but from outside the door. Without thinking about it, she rushed out of the living room and opened the door to stand in the hallway.

The crack of the 1102 door revealed the jujube mud-colored satin, like a corner of the clothes, and under her gaze, the silk shrank fiercely, and it was clear that someone was dragging inside.

Her scalp tingled. 1102 Grandma Wang's strange behavior was excessive, so she knocked lightly on the other party's door, then became heavier and heavier, and finally turned into an impolite slamming on the door.

Unfortunately, there was no response, and even though I could hear the nervous breathing behind the door, the door never opened.

"Don't pretend to be a ghost at night!" She couldn't help but shout, and for a moment she felt reckless. After all, the other party is an elderly person, maybe he has Alzheimer's disease, maybe he has been living alone all the year round and has abnormal behavior, or maybe he is wary and curious about strangers...... In short, Grandma Wang didn't do anything really inappropriate, and she shouldn't be so rude.

So she said through the door in a voice that the other party could hear but not look too hostile: "Grandma Wang, I know that you are inside, if there is anything offensive before, I want you to forgive me, I didn't mean to." I have no ill intentions, I want to be a harmonious neighbor with you, if you have something to say to me or advice, you can tell me directly, I will definitely change it and encourage it. If you don't want to say it in person, you can also leave a note. Sorry for the interruption, I wish you a good dream. ”

With that, she replied to 1101 and didn't hear any strange sounds all night.

When she went out the next day, Da Mao happened to be on duty at the sentry box, she nodded to him to say hello, and Da Mao ran over.

"Get out." Da Mao always had a smile on his face.

"Hmm. Da Mao, I want to ask you something. ”

"What's the matter?"

She told him about the previous night.

"Is there anything wrong with Grandma Wang? I mean, the kind that causes strange behavior? ”

Da Mao put away his smiling face and paced around her in a hurry, thinking very seriously.

"You've never spoken to her?" He asked.

Chiba shook her head: "She doesn't seem to like me, so she hides as soon as she meets." ”

"Older people are wary and may have stereotypes against tenants. I don't think it has much impact, so I might as well just don't hear it. ”

"I thought the same way, and it didn't affect anything, but I was afraid that I would offend her sometime, and I wanted to explain it in person. Or if something happens to her alone at home, I think I should be able to help in time. But she hid from me, and saw her close the door, no matter how much she knocked on it, she wouldn't open it. ”

"What is she doing in the hallway in the middle of the night?"

"I don't know."

Da Mao continued with a detective expression.

"She had a cat, and the cat was obedient, and she always came back by herself when she went out to play. But then one day he was taken away by a wild cat outside and never came back. I wonder if Grandma Wang will develop a habit of opening the door every night, hoping that the cat can come out again. ”

Hearing him say this, Chiba Mao suddenly opened.

"That makes sense, no wonder, you think it has something to do with me."

"Why, don't think too much, I told you that she's fine."

"Maybe it's just that you don't like me." Chiba pouted, a little regretful. Since she was a child, she has indeed lived in an unliked environment and has long been used to it. This is due to her experience, and it is also due to her inferiority complex.

"You live in yours, others live in someone else's, what do you want her to like you to do."

"That being said, if it's convenient for you, find an opportunity to help me inquire if I did something wrong to make her misunderstood. If so, I'm willing to apologize in person. ”

"Okay, take it on me." Da Mao patted his chest.

"Alright, I'm going to work, bye-bye." As he spoke, Chiba walked towards the outside of the community, and then turned his head and thanked, "The sour horn is delicious, thank you." ”

Da Mao stood in place and looked at her distant back, smiling like a most inconspicuous wildflower.

He liked her, inexplicably attracted, but didn't dare to say it. He felt that he was from the countryside and only deserved to associate with girls from small places, so he had a good impression of her. But on the other hand, I feel that even if it's just a tenant here, Chiba must be from another background. He has a striking resemblance to her, feeling that he will not be liked by too many people, but he has someone he likes.

Coincidentally, two hours later, Grandma Wang went out to buy medicine, and just after the sentry box, Da Mao stepped forward to stop her.

"Grandma Wang!"

Grandma Wang was indeed wearing a cardigan made of jujube mud-colored silk fabric, and when she heard him say hello, she stopped.

"Chubby, you call me?" She asked with a smile.

Da Mao stood in front of her and rubbed the back of her head vigorously, originally Yang Qianye entrusted it with a trivial matter, but this kind of investigation with the nature of interrogation is really not easy to do.

"Are you out?" After holding it for a long time, he came up with a meaningless sentence.

"Go buy some medicine, my knee hurts these days." Grandma Wang replied, turning her head and continuing to walk out.

"Wait." Da Mao rushed in front of her.

"Something?" Grandma Wang always kept a graceful smile, polite and patient.

How could she be like that kind of sick and abnormal old woman, how could such a polite old woman pretend to be a ghost in the middle of the night-Da Mao was a little confused.

Regardless of his three-seven-twenty-one, when he didn't know what to say, he said what he wanted to say the most, and Da Mao opened his mouth and asked, "The cat you raised before...... Are you still waiting for it to come back? ”

Grandma Wang obviously put it down a long time ago. "How could that guy come back again, little white-eyed wolf...... Why do you suddenly ask this? ”

"Your next-door neighbor, the 1101 one, do you know that?"

"Lu's what?" Grandma Wang said calmly, "Not very familiar." ”

"Not the landlord, I said the girl who rented the house."

"Oh." Grandma Wang hesitated slightly, but she didn't show obvious emotions, "I've met a few times, but I haven't spoken, what's wrong?" ”

"Yes, she heard a noise in the hallway last night and wondered if something had happened to you. You didn't open the door when you knocked, so I wanted to ask if everything was okay? ”

"What can I do, I went to bed at eight or nine o'clock, is that girl bad ear?" Grandma Wang flatly denied it.

"She said I saw your clothes in the crack of the door......" Da Mao pointed to the jujube mud-colored cardigan on Grandma Wang's body, and his voice was low to his chest.

Grandma Wang's face began to become ugly, and she looked around and saw no one else, mysteriously leaning into his ear.

"I wanted to eavesdrop on what she was doing last night, I was almost discovered, oops, it's a dead person, don't tell me."

Big hair's eyes widened.

"Don't you think it's strange to buy so many buns by living alone?" Grandma Wang said.

"Buns?"

"That's right, carrying dozens of buns into the house for two days in a row. You say, when do you have to eat so much, how can she eat alone? I wonder if there's anyone else in her house. ”

"She didn't tell me about that."

"The young man doesn't understand what he's doing...... But I really shouldn't be so curious about other people's affairs, and I still eavesdropped on the door at my age, and I almost bumped into it, and I lost my life. Don't worry, it won't be in the future, I promise. But you have to keep the secret for me, can you? ”

"That's for sure." Da Mao was still thinking about why Yang Qianye bought so many steamed buns, and when he looked up again, Grandma Wang had already walked out of the cherry blossom apartment and walked across the street.

As soon as she crossed the road, Grandma Wang immediately held the electric pile to breathe, took out a quick-acting heart-saving pill from the inner bag and pressed it on the bottom of her tongue, sweating profusely.

She took out her phone and dialed a string of numbers, and a woman's voice came from inside.

"Hey, I'm afraid it won't be long before that girl should find out, she almost hit her last night."

"No, you just have to be careful that she won't find anything, she's a person with a bottom line."

"How do you know?"

"I've always been very accurate in seeing people...... Why is it so wheezing and sick again? ”

"It's okay, on the way. You're sure she's not going to probe, she knocked on the door last night. ”

"Ignore her, pretend to be an old man who behaves strangely, she won't be suspicious."

"But lately I've been feeling more and more powerless, and you know you have to take care of a ......."

"Take care of yourself...... Don't talk nonsense on the phone, be careful to be heard. ”

"Oh." Grandma Wang looked around and asked cautiously, "Then how long will she live next door?" ”

"Up to one year."

"Why?"

"I told you not to talk too much on the phone, and I'll tell you when we meet."

"Okay then."

"Don't be too tired, pay attention to your body, and if you insist on it, you will get out soon."

"Don't worry."

"That's it, I still have something to do."

"Goodbye."

Hanging up the phone, Grandma Wang rearranged her appearance, regained her calm smile, and walked forward.
