Chapter 130: Acting as a Messenger
Huang Ping just wanted to chase after him, but he didn't expect Klose's movements to be very fast, and he disappeared without a trace after a short time after going down the stairs. The remaining lone Kohei held on to the railing of the stairs with a blank expression.
Klose did save him, but it didn't solve the underlying problem.
He was thirstier now than before, his throat seemed to be on fire, his body was hot, and he was still sweating in the sun.
If this continues, sooner or later he will die of dehydration.
There is no need for Aunt Shen to go there again, her request is actually very simple, that is, to pay the rent.
But the community has been isolated, and where is he going to get money?
Huang Ping squatted in the shade of the corridor and thought about it for a long time, and then he made up his mind and returned to the door of 402.
Anyway, although there is no water to drink, after all, there is an air conditioner blowing, if he doesn't do anything, he just lies on the floor, and he can save the evaporation of water, so why not.
He calmly pushed open the door and walked in, half-seated on the floor, with his back to the bedroom door frame.
The fat man nervously guarded the table, and the crumbs of the cake remained on his lips, and he looked like he had just eaten half of it.
"Why are you back, you can't beat me up for food."
Huang Ping shook his finger and said with a smoky voice, "Don't worry, you can eat." I'm just rubbing your cool air. ”
The fat man looked unconvinced, but when he saw that he hadn't moved for a long time, he "squeaked" and ate it.
The smell of food in the room made Huangping couldn't help but be restless, especially the sound of the fat man drinking drinks, which made the dry mouth feel extremely uncomfortable.
The fat man finished drinking a large drink, licked his lips, looked at Huangping who was frowning, and said with a smile, "Look at your pitiful sake, give you a drink?" ”
Huang Ping closed his eyes, as if he had exhausted his whole body strength, "No...... No need. ”
"I've seen that guy run a train all day long, and there is not a single word of credibility that comes out." The fat man raised his glass, and he seemed to hear the conversation between the two outside the door, "If you don't take a sip, how can you know the truth of the matter." ”
Can such a risk be taken?
No, no, as Klose said, once they follow their path, then everything will be ruined. Even if Klose deceived himself, he would swallow the bitter water in his stomach.
"Well, do you know how to make money in this place?" Kohei tries not to look at the food scraps on the table, which makes it even more difficult for him to control his desires.
The fat man leaned on the back of the bed after eating and drinking, slowly touched his round belly, and thought for a long time before saying, "This place doesn't need money, anyway, every morning when I wake up, it will be full of food." ”
Kohei's look of disappointment was evident on his face.
"However, if you can deliver a letter for me to the 402 residents in the other building, I will pay you 10 yuan." The fat man said suddenly.
Huang Ping immediately stood up in surprise, "No problem, I'll go." ”
The fat man took out a letter from under the pillow and attached 10 yuan, "After that guy sees the letter, there will definitely be an arrangement, so don't try to fool me." ”
"No, I'll do my best to fulfill your commission."
Huang Ping took a thin letter, rushed out of the door, and ran down the stairs with a bang, and when he climbed all the way to the fourth floor opposite the upper floor, he was already sweating profusely, but his mouth was still thirsty, and it was unbearable.
He told himself that he must be patient, and when he has enough money, he believes that the situation will definitely turn around.
He knocked on the door of another 402, and as he expected, there was no movement inside.
There was no way, he could only kick it away, the same room structure, the same fat man lying comfortably on the bed.
When the fat man saw someone suddenly breaking in, his first reaction was to protect the rest of the food.
Huang Ping enjoyed the cool breeze for a while, and then said, "402 on the other side asked me to send you a letter, do you want to accept it?" ”
The fat man was stunned and stretched out his equally fat fingers, "Okay, you can give it to me." ”
Kohei was actually curious about what was written on the letter, so he waited patiently.
The fat man laboriously tore open the envelope, and a crumpled piece of paper fell out of it, and he skimmed through the contents. Kohei clearly saw that his brows twitched, and he seemed to be very interested.
The fat man suddenly said, "Don't go, I'll send me a letter later." ”
He also pulled out the envelope from under his pillow and slipped the crumpled piece of paper back into it.
The fat man pondered for a while before saying, "Help me get to room 101 upstairs opposite." Here's the pay. ”
Huang Ping wiped the cold beads of sweat, took the envelope and 10 yuan, and rushed out in a hurry.
The fat man of 101 read the letter and did the same thing as the previous fat man, but this time he asked for the letter to be sent to 501 on the other side.
Huang Ping put 30 yuan in his pocket, and he wanted to cry, Nima, running back and forth like this, he must not be tired to death.
However, from the current point of view, this is the only way to make money, thanks to his current physique is stronger than ordinary people, even if he has not drunk water for a long time and sweats a lot, he can barely support it at present.
This time he finally couldn't help it when he was halfway through the run, the envelope was not very tight, he carefully opened it, and the crumpled paper only wrote a time "21:00", what does this mean?
He tucked the piece of paper back into the envelope.
There are a total of two buildings in this old community, each building is five floors, and there are five households on the first floor, so that there are a total of 50 households, including Aunt Shen and Huang Ping.
Huang Ping dragged his numb legs, and in just half a day, he measured almost every inch of the corridor of the two buildings, and the whole person was close to collapse.
But Huang Ping finally climbed to the door of Aunt Shen's room, and after this back and forth delivery of letters, he had a total of 460 yuan in his pocket at this time.
He knocked on the door with almost the last of his strength.
It took a long time for Aunt Shen to open the door, this time she was holding a kitchen knife with a thick back in her hand, the kitchen knife was stained with blood, looking at Huang Ping with a paralyzed appearance, she snorted and said, "What, you have money?" ”
Huang Ping hurriedly handed her a wad of 10 yuan bills stained with sweat.
Aunt Shen snatched it up, and without counting, she stuffed it into the pocket of her apron.
"Go back, I'll give you electricity and water later. It's annoying. As soon as Aunt Shen turned around, Huang Ping only saw her fat ass shaking.
The door slammed shut.
Kohei kept his mouth open like a dead fish, and crawled back to his room as he wriggled on the ground.
The will to survive made him immediately rush to the kitchen to turn on the faucet, and the turbid water flowed down the water, but at this time, he didn't care about it, and immediately poured a stomach of cold water.
He squinted and lay on the hot dry bunk, and suddenly felt better.
