"Be careful not to bump into people." Scarlet whispered.

The small stalls on the first floor of the basement were all extremely cheap, and Scarlet completely ignored the vendors' solicitations, and searched the crowd with her eyes wide open. After the two walked a long circle, she saw the elevator and took Shang Tan'an down to the second floor.

The stalls selling nutrients and sleeping bags still occupied the vicinity of the elevator, and as soon as they exited the ladder door, they heard several stall owners shouting in unison.

"Take a look, the cheapest is here."

"If you buy a sleeping bag, you can contact the bunk for free, plus a star coin and a clothing safe." It was still the fat lady who was full of energy, glanced at Scarlet and Shang Tan'an, and continued to shout, "Buy two sleeping bags to ensure adjacent bunks." ”

Shang Tan silently followed Scarlet, looking at the pile of people in front of him with his eyebrows raised. "They're waiting for odd jobs." Scarlet whispered. She guessed that she had probably been delayed for some time when she was packing her things today, and the deeper she went, the more people who were lying on her stomach gradually dispersed, and some people began to spread sleeping bags in the corner.

"These people are going to sleep here at night." She explained.

"Scarlet, don't go." Shang Tan'an caught a glimpse of a man in the distance undressing and undressing, and immediately grabbed Scarlet's wrist and turned in a different direction. "Let's go back."

Scarlet also saw it, lowered her eyes, and returned with Shang Tan'an without objection.

The two passed by the fat lady's stall again, and the fat lady opened her mouth and shouted: "Sleeping bag, sleeping bag, and double bunks against the wall, get it quickly." The agency above the short-term rental room, the time is arbitrary, absolutely clean. ”

In the nutrition stall next door, a man with his sleeve rolled up to his elbow turned around, holding the nutrition he had just bought, and when he heard the sound, he glanced at the fat lady's stall, his eyes paused, lingered twice on Scarlet's face, and then looked at her hand held by Shang Tan'an, and then moved his eyes to look at Shang Tan'an.

Scarlet knew him, he was her colleague, and at first she had only been on the day shift for just over half a month, but a few days ago she went to the review studio to change the night shift and met again. The man stared at her and Shang Tan'an intently, and she nodded at the man.

The man also bowed slightly, his eyes still scanning Shang Tan'an.

Shang Tan'an looked at the man, and saw that Scarlet didn't greet this person, so he just held Scarlet and walked forward.

The man silently joined them into the elevator. Ascending to the negative floor, someone went out, leaving only Scarlet, Shang Tan'an and him. He suddenly said in a loud voice: "You rent for a short time? ”

Scarlet was stunned for a moment, and didn't react to the wooden-faced colleague's words.

"No, we're not looking for short-term rentals." Shang Tan'an replied on the side.

The man looked at Shang Tan'an, pulled the corners of his mouth, and didn't seem to be smiling, but only said to Scarlet: "If you want a short-term rental, look for me." ”

"I pick up my wife from work, we don't look for short-term rentals, thank you." Shang Tan'an greeted the man, the meaning was very clear, and he remained polite in his tone.

The man was extremely surprised when he heard this, and looked at the two of them again and again, thinking that he was also a colleague, so his attitude was very kind, and he repeated with Shang Tan'an: "Thank you, we don't need it." ”

Then the man spoke again: "Oh, that's right. I thought...... I mean, I have places to rent for short term. He glared at Shang Tan'an, "My colleague can be considered a discount." ”

Shang Tan'an glanced at Scarlet, unaware that this was her colleague. He smiled softly at the other side, "Hello." We don't need it, thank you. ”

Scarlet worries, this colleague is really hardworking, night shift, and sleeper, it sounds like he is secretly developing a short-term rental business and a sleeping bag stall to grab business.

She suddenly remembered something, and now that she had talked about it, she asked casually, "Excuse me, have you ever seen a woman who used to walk around this place before?" ”

"Which woman?" The male colleague looked at Scarlet.

"A ......" Scarlet stopped talking, not knowing how to describe it for a while.

"The woman with a clear mind?"

"Oh, yes, it looks like the one who wears the color all the time." Scarlet nodded, and asked again, "Have you seen her lately, or do you know where she lives?" ”

"No, I haven't seen her in a long time. What, are you looking for her? The male colleague raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"It's not." Scarlet shook her head. The elevator was just up to the ground exit, the door opened, and she didn't say any more: "Goodbye." ”

Shang Tan'an pulled Scarlet out with him. The two of them took a few steps and heard a voice behind them: "She doesn't have a place to live." The two turned around and saw the male colleague shrugging, "No one cares about her." ”

After saying that, the male colleague walked in the other direction.

Shang Tan'an looked at this person's figure and turned into a small alley between the buildings, he withdrew his eyes, looked at Scarlet, and said with concern: "Are you looking for someone?" Is there anything important to do? ”

"It doesn't matter." Scarlet frowned slightly and explained, "When many people here leave, they will have a habit that some things are too lazy to pack up and take to the next place, so they will put them in the basement to be disposed of and transferred to others. I happened to think of a woman I had seen before, and if I saw her, I would pass by and give it to her, and throw it away anyway. ”

Shang Tan'an thought about the sheets that Scarlet had specially rolled up, and then he suddenly realized.

The twilight fell quickly, wrapping several of the dormitory buildings in dust, and the small cubicles in those buildings were all blocked by the outer walls, and no light could be seen. The door of the closed elevator also shut out the noise of the basement, and not a trace of it was heard. Shang Tan'an looked back, and the dense crowd in the underground seemed to be an illusion, full of unreality.

He turned his head to look at Scarlet, and saw that she was frowning and didn't seem to be embarrassed, so he thought about it and said, "Do you want to look for it again?" I'll take you back to the car first, and you tell me the general characteristics, and I'll come back later to look for it, and you don't go in again. ”

"Forget it, I just thought of it by chance." Scarlet shook her head, looked at the backpack on Shang Tan'an's body, and said apologetically: "Are you heavy?" If it's heavy, I find a recycling machine in a nearby building and throw things away. ”

"It's not heavy, it's light." Shang Tan'an smiled, "Let's take it back, and you can tidy it up slowly." He added, "Don't stay in such a strange place if your own things, whether they are useful or not." ”

"Hmm."

The two boarded the bus in the twilight.

Shang Tan'an handed over a nutrient. "Are you hungry, just eat this for dinner, okay? Or ......," he asked, with a hint of interest in his eyes, "looking for a place to have a good meal and commemorate your first job?" ”

"There's no need, just eat this." Scarlet took it, "Thank you." ”

Shang Tan'an smiled, took a nutrient to eat, and chatted, "How does your first job feel?" ”

"General."

"Are the people you meet easy to get along with?"

"Generally......" Scarlet pondered, adding truthfully, "below." ”

Shang Tan'an smiled. "Then what about the person you wanted to transfer things to her just now, does she have a good relationship with you, how can your colleague say that she has a bit of a problem with her brain?"

"I don't know if there's a problem, I don't know much about it, I just think she's ...... It looks like you're going to need daily necessities. Scarlet thought about it and decided not to tell Shang Tan'an about the woman in the flower cloth following the old man. Subconsciously, she was sure that it wasn't a good thing. "What about you? How was your life in Gega after graduation? The people you meet, are you okay? She asked.

The two of them, since Shang Tan'an came back to Mobi, except for the few polite greetings at the beginning, discussed the major matter of the conscription order, and the real farewell was not available to communicate until a few days.

"It's all right. The working environment over there is very good, even better than the facilities we have in the east. My colleagues also got to know some of them, and the relationship was good, but after a short time, they left again. ”

Scarlet turned her head sideways and looked at him: "There are no colleagues who have a lot to do with you, right?" ”

"Oh?" Shang Tan'an was stunned. "It's all the same with colleagues." He replied.

Scarlet nodded: "That's good." "It's not complicated.

Shang Tan'an looked at her, feeling a little interrupted for a while. He picked up the words he could think of and said, "After I send you to the hotel later, I won't go in, and I will help Grandma Li pack when I go back." Your luggage, plan it yourself, and I'll help you prepare it after Grandma Li. ”

"No, I don't have to worry about you."

He laughed. "By the way, I haven't asked yet, do you have any friends who have been close to you lately?"

"Nope." Scarlet simply, thinking about the colleagues she has contacted in the past six months, she is so bad, "I don't know much about the people I have known recently." ”

"Hmm. Here we go. On second thought, is there anything else? Shang Tan'an shook his head when he saw Scarlet, and said softly, "Then let's go, I won't come in the future." ”

He also didn't like the male neighbors in Scarlet's residence, and her male colleague just now, their meaningful looks, and the inexplicable topic of short-term rental, all made people feel that this place was very, very inappropriate.

The car climbed and pierced all the way to the top of the 10th arrondissement, and the pseudo-natural roofs or curtain roofs stretched into a deep and light ink color below, like a reckless primeval forest.

The two watched as the real starry sky spread out above the car, so wide that there was never an edge, and the light light was shining all over the left and right.
