Chapter Twenty-Six: Legacy?
Is it a dream?
Opening his eyes, Song Jianqiu was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling in a daze.
This dream is too real, what I have seen and heard is still vivid in my eyes and ears, but this is a dream after all, when I first woke up, I can still remember it more clearly, but after a while, the impression of the dream in my mind gradually became weaker.
In the end, I only vaguely remember the general scene and experience in the dream, but the last sentence when I woke up from the dream still remained in my mind and lingered.
After lying down for a while, she sighed, lifted the quilt and was about to get up, but when she sat up from the bed, she saw a pendant beside her hand.
No way......?!
Although many scenes in the dream have been blurred, there are still a few scenes that are relatively clear, including one scene where there are many golden carp in the river.
She remembered that in her dream, there was indeed a carp that jumped out of the river and fell into her hand, turning into a carp pendant.
She raised the pendant in her hand and looked at it carefully, as if she had seen it in her dreams, it was in the shape of a carp, and it still bent as it jumped out of the water.
This pendant is golden, looks like gold, but it looks like jade to the touch, giving people a feeling of jade and not jade, like gold and not gold, and I don't know what material it is.
This carp pendant may be because it is transformed from a live fish, so it looks lifelike, and if you put it in the palm of your hand, it looks like a carp seedling staying in the palm of your hand, motionless.
For a while, she didn't know if this was a dream or reality, how could the things she got in a dream appear in the real world?
Or is it not a dream, but a reality?
After thinking about it, Song Jianqiu felt that his head was about to turn into a paste, and in the end, he couldn't figure it out anyway, so he simply didn't think about it anymore, the boat went to the bridge, and let it be!
Get up, brush your teeth and wash your face, stand in front of the mirror, use a horn comb to comb your hair more smoothly, and look at the appearance in the mirror, still feeling a little strange.
Her hair was black and thick, covering her ears, almost like a shawl.
Although she likes girls with long hair, she doesn't want to have long hair herself, so she plans to cut it after a while, and it is more suitable to have a finger to lengthen, so that it is not troublesome to take care of.
After washing, she went back to her room and got dressed, and she went downstairs.
Unexpectedly, I saw Song Wencheng in the restaurant today, and it seemed that I didn't have to go to the morning shift, so I said hello and sat in the restaurant for breakfast together.
Today's breakfast was dumplings.
A family of three chatted while eating dumplings, but they were also happy and very warm.
After eating, going to work, going out to do errands, and only Song Jianqiu was left at home alone.
But she didn't want to stay at home and just watch TV, so after Lin Yuqin left, she locked the door, took the door key, and went out.
Without hesitation, she walked out along the main road of the community, and soon after, she was standing outside the company dormitory building where she used to live.
The dormitory does not belong to the company, but is rented by the company from a third party; There are many companies that rent rooms here and arrange for employees to live here.
If that's all there is to it, that's fine, but in fact, this building is inhabited not only by nearby companies, but also by many migrant workers, some people who have just arrived in Asan City and are still looking for jobs, and even some thugs who say they are looking for jobs but have been idle.
In short, there are a lot of people living in this building, and there are no cameras, even if the door is locked, they often lose things, just because the things they lose are not very valuable, either teacups or hot water kettles, or small items such as cigarettes on the table, so no one called the police, at most scolded and complained for a while, but there was no way.
She came here, not to tell her colleagues what had happened to her and make them believe in herself, but to retrieve some of the luggage she had left in the dormitory.
After all, she suddenly didn't go to work for several days, I'm afraid that now the company has treated her as a voluntary resignation, right?
Anyway, the new employee who has only been on the shift for half a month is estimated to have been fired directly, but I don't know if her luggage in the dormitory will be stolen by someone after she has been absent for so many days, or if someone finds out that she is missing and calls the police, and finally takes it away as evidence.
Fortunately, these luggage are just a few sets of clothes, and there is not much money in the bank card that is put together with the clothes, only the other bank card, which she has secretly stored, has the salary she worked hard to save.
These are all her hard-earned money, but she can't just throw them in the dormitory because of this, and she has to get them back.
The door of the dormitory building is two broken iron doors, and no one guards them, and outsiders basically enter and exit when they want to, and no one will stop them at all.
Song Jianqiu entered the door without hindrance, went straight up to the third floor, and stood at the door of the dormitory where he lived before.
Today is Tuesday, and now is the time to work, and in the whole building, those who want to go to work have gone out to work, and those who don't have to go to work have also gone out, and it seems very quiet.
If it was a real thief, she would naturally need to pick the lock to get in, but as someone who had lived in this dormitory, she naturally knew that there was a backup key hidden outside this dormitory.
She first untied a thin wire wrapped around the window fence, straightened one end more than ten centimeters, bent it into a hook, and then came to a blocked and abandoned drainage pipe in the doorway, poked the thin wire down, and after stirring a few times according to the feel, she quickly hooked out the key hidden in it.
She used the key to unlock it, and as soon as she pushed it open, a strong smell of smoke hit her face, almost suffocating her, who had never smoked, and she took a few steps back before she could stand firm.
Standing in place and looking inside, I saw that the window in the room was closed, and I could faintly see a pale cyan smoke cloud.
In the whole dormitory, she is the only one who doesn't smoke, in the past, people living in the same dormitory would be a little afraid of her, open the window to smoke, or go out to smoke, but now she is not there, this dormitory is simply a miasma, standing in it is like being in a fairyland.
Although she knew that she didn't have much time to delay, she still stood at the door and waited for a moment, feeling that the smoke had almost dissipated, before covering her mouth and walking in.
Even so, there was still a very strong smell of smoke in the dormitory, and she had to speed up her pace and go to the bed where she slept to take a look, but she couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw that the lower bunk where she had been sleeping was empty at this time, not to mention the luggage and backpack or anything, even the sheets and mats that were laid out were swept away, and only a slippery bed board remained.
What is this? Robbery?
She did think that if she suddenly disappeared, the things in the dormitory might be stolen, but she wouldn't steal so cleanly, right? Nothing left for her, it felt like she had packed up and walked away!
Who did this to you?
Although she didn't want to doubt it, she couldn't help but think of the other three colleagues who lived in the same dormitory for the first time.
To be honest, she didn't get along with these three colleagues for a long time, just like she worked in the company, she had only known each other for more than half a month, overall, it felt good, at least before she became what she is now, they got along quite happily, although they had their own advantages and disadvantages, but they were not unbearable.
But now, she has only been seen for a few days, and everything has been swept away, even if it is a thief, it is impossible to steal so cleanly, right?
What's more, the contents of the other beds are still there, can the thief just point to her bed to steal things?
She wrinkled her nose and basically guessed what the situation was, but she had nothing to do, not even to call the police.
"Hey!"
Just as she sighed in her heart, thinking that she was okay to take precautions, a voice suddenly sounded, startling her.
She turned her head to look and saw a girl with long dyed hair and heavy makeup leaning against the doorway, looking her up and down with curious eyes as if she had not slept enough, and as if she was impatient.
Seeing Song Jianqiu looking over, the girl continued: "Little sister, didn't your mother tell you that stealing things is a bad child? ”
“……”
She knew this girl, her name was Ling Zhiqing, she rented the room next door, she had a bold and generous personality, she often came to the door to ask for cigarettes, and often invited guests to drink and eat barbecue, so even Fang Heng, who had only been here for a short time at the time, was very familiar with this girl.
But familiar and familiar, so far, not to mention her, even other people on the same floor, I don't know what this girl does, I only know that this girl has only rented here for a month or two, and her daily living habits are very simple, basically staying in the house, only at night will she come out to chat and fart and communicate with people, plus she wears a heavy makeup, which makes it impossible for people to see the original appearance at all.
But as the saying goes, turnip greens have their own love, even if it is such a girl, it seems that some people like it, before she became Song Jianqiu, I heard that someone here wanted to chase Ling Zhiqing, but it was just a rumor, I don't know who it is.
She was a little gossipy at the time, and she investigated carefully, but in the end, she didn't get the result, and she became what she is now.
Seeing Ling Zhiqing appear, Song Jianqiu couldn't help but think of something and became a little distracted, but soon, she came back to her senses, and after hearing the other party's words, she just said expressionlessly: "I'm here to help my brother with his luggage." ”
"Your brother?".
"Well, it's called Fang Heng." This reason is that Song Jianqiu has already thought about it, if he is bumped into by someone, he will treat himself as his brother, although it feels a little awkward to do so, but it is better than being treated as a thief.
"Well, this kid seems to have that exact name." Ling Zhiqing nodded and walked into the house, compared to Song Jianqiu's unbearable smell of smoke in the house, Ling Zhiqing didn't seem to feel it at all.
Song Jianqiu was a little surprised that this girl still remembered her name.
Although she used to follow them to eat supper, in fact, among a bunch of people, her sense of presence has always been relatively thin, and she has no good impression of this kind of girl who likes to wear heavy makeup, dye her hair, and mix with a group of men all day long, so she deliberately kept her distance, and basically didn't say a few words for more than half a month.
But even so, Ling Zhiqing could still remember her original name!
