Chapter 4 Strange Incidents Caused by Work-Study Programs
————————————————————
"Hey... Uncle, please lean inside and let me in! I squeezed into the No. 22 bus with my bag on my back......
My name is Luo Tianyang and I am a freshman at Partridge College. Due to the poor family conditions, I would go out to work and study every weekend to earn some living expenses. A few days ago, I saw a recruitment information on the Internet: I neglected the elderly at home because of my busy work, and I am looking for an outstanding young man to help clean the yard. The payment was made by a man named Mr. Mo.
The phone quickly dialed, and it was a hoarse man's voice: "Hey... Who is it? ”。
"Hello, I am a student at Partridge Academy, I saw your job posting online, I would like to ask if you have found the right person?".
The man on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then said, "Young man, your accent is not local."
I was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Oh yes... But don't worry, my character is fine. I just want to earn some living expenses on the weekend."
Then the man's voice came a little enthusiastically: "Hahaha... I can trust you top students, and if you want to come, I'll pay you double."
"Thank you, and please rest assured, I will ensure your satisfaction."
The car was quickly at the station, and I struggled to squeeze out the door.
——————————————————
According to the address, I came to the door of a courtyard house. From the outside of the alley, this courtyard house is particularly eye-catching. Two scarlet lanterns hung high on either side of the gate. I sighed secretly: the lanterns are lit in broad daylight, and the taste of the rich is really different.
There was a "squeak" and the door opened. A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked out. "Hello, are you Mr. Mo?" I scratched my head and asked with some restraint.
"Xiao Luo, right? Come on in! The middle-aged man said as he pulled me into the yard.
The wall map in the courtyard is close to the wall, the flowers are gorgeous, and the red flowers are respected. At this moment, I am very much like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and I am really full of foreign appearances. I had never seen such a noble and elegant decoration of the courtyard, and my head involuntarily lowered.
The middle-aged man seemed to have guessed my thoughts, and gently pressed his palm on my left shoulder, sighing softly, "Alas... Xiao Luo, my mother is an old man, since my son's accident, she has gone insane. In a moment, you can change into the clothes I just bought, my son loved to wear that when he was alive."
I said weakly, "Mo... Uncle Mo, don't worry about it, I'm afraid that I will clean up and stain the clothes you bought."
"Hehe, it's out of the way, as long as my mother is happy", the middle-aged man walked into the living room after speaking.
I carefully cleaned the courtyard and rolled out the red carpet from the living room to the door, as the middle-aged man had requested.
"Xiao Luo, come, quickly change your clothes, my mother will be here soon", the middle-aged man pulled me to the living room in a hurry and asked me to change my clothes.
This is a very trendy burgundy casual suit, fine workmanship, I put it on and looked in the mirror, heh, sure enough, people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles.
At this time, a foreigner in a black tunics walked in from the door, speaking in a stiff Chinese language: "Mr. Mo, everything is ready."
The middle-aged man's hands trembled, then loosened his collar and coughed lightly: "Okay." You can get busy first." After the foreigner left, the middle-aged man turned to me and said, "Xiao Luo, I suddenly remembered that there is a box of Lafite buried in this yard, please dig it out, my mother loves this Lafite the most."
My eyes are a little red, this middle-aged man is really a dutiful man, he can think of his mother from some small things, and he should be like this. At this time, I was a little homesick, and it had been almost half a year since I came out, and I didn't know if my mother, who had been lying in bed for a long time, was healthy. Thinking of it, I shook my head and secretly suppressed the thoughts in my heart. When I make money in the future and cure my mother's illness, I will also buy such a courtyard house to make my mother happy.
When I came to the ginkgo tree in the yard, I carefully rolled up my sleeves and began to dig. After a while, a yellow-brown box was revealed in a pit half a meter deep and two meters long, about the length of a person.
The middle-aged man said to me with some excitement: "Xiao Luo, open the wooden box quickly, I can smell the wine."
Curious, I leaned up and sniffed with my nose, huh? A strange smell, the smell of this Raffi is so special.
I buckled the hidden buckle of the wooden box and broke it up, and with a "pop", the wooden box was opened by me. Reach inside and touch it, huh? A hard thing came from my five fingers, and when I looked inside, a shriveled female corpse lay quietly inside. I sat down in the pit with a frightened ass, "Mom." Yes. Yes. There are corpses lying inside".
The middle-aged man said suspiciously, "How can there be a corpse inside, Xiao Luo, are you dazzled, it's obviously a few bottles of Lafite, I don't believe you can take a look again."
I mustered up the courage to take a look, huh? Six bottles of Lafite are neatly laid out inside. I was puzzled and touched my head, what was going on just now? I saw a shriveled female corpse lying in a wooden box.
The middle-aged man urged: "Don't be stunned, hurry up and bring the box up, my mother will be here soon." "Oh, good.. I'll move it up right away", and I carefully moved the wooden box to the ground. I patted the dirt on my body when I was done, and I made my burgundy suit a little dirty.
After I filled the hole, an old lady's voice came from the door: "Uh-huh... I'm finally home, and he's getting older, and I'm starting to be disliked."
The middle-aged man said in a respectful tone: "Mom, look at what you said, who dares to dislike you!" The middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and helped the old lady to the yard.
"Hehe, Minglin is also here, come to grandma, let grandma take a good look at my good grandson", the old lady said to me kindly.
The middle-aged man squeezed his eyes at me, and I secretly made an OK gesture. "Grandma, your old man is coming into the house. It's windy outside, don't catch a cold", I tried to get into the state, after all, I'm here to make money, how people tell us to do it.
Accompanying the old lady to talk, I looked at the time, it's time to go back, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch the bus if it's late. So I quietly pulled the middle-aged man aside and whispered, "Uncle Mo, I should go back too, you see...".
The middle-aged man slapped his thigh, "Oh, look at this memory, I almost forgot." The middle-aged man hurriedly took out a wad of brand-new bills from his clothes and handed it to me.
Touching it with my hand, at least ten hundred-dollar bills, I said hesitantly: "This... Uncle Mo said that the good one is two hundred, why do you give me so much? ”。
The middle-aged man smiled: "The extra is my tip for you, you can leave my mother alone, I don't have to take off this dress if you see that it fits well."
"Thank you, Uncle Mo, I have met a noble person today", I sincerely bowed to the middle-aged man.
Walking into the living room, the old lady was sitting on the princess's chair and humming a little song I had never heard. "Grandma... I'll leave beforehand, and I'll see you another day."
The old lady's eyes were full of reluctance, "Uh-huh... Minglin, pinch the back of your grandmother's legs before you go, I like your strength."
"Okay, grandma". I stepped forward and pinched the old lady's shoulder, but her body was cold and cold, and there was no trace of elasticity, and I sighed in my heart: This old lady's bones are not ordinary calcifications.
The old lady stretched comfortably and said to me, "Uh-huh... It's still your kid's dexterity, and then pinch grandma's legs."
"Hehe, don't worry, you're satisfied", I smiled and squatted down to pinch the old lady's leg. As soon as my hand touched her thigh, I shuddered, and the leg was hard, just like the feel I felt in the wooden box.
I couldn't help but look up at the old lady's face. Well? I didn't notice anything, maybe I've been stressed too much lately.
The old lady shuddered when she saw me, and smiled kindly, "Uh-huh... Minglin, it's a little cold, go back quickly. Be careful of catching a cold on the road, grandma will always think about your "......
Saying goodbye to the middle-aged man, I walked out of the courtyard. At this time, it was almost dusk, and the two large scarlet lanterns at the entrance of the courtyard were swaying in the wind. The sunset shone on me, and when the wind blew it, the shadow was long in the alley.
Dragging his tired body to push open the door of the dormitory, Sun Miao was sitting next to the computer and playing League of Legends. Chu Feng combed his hair vigorously in front of the mirror, and shook his traitor's head from time to time. Leng Wuxian doesn't know where to go, I guess I'm going to go to the girl again.
Cold and cold, the dormitory is the boss. Righteous and calm. The second generation of authentic officials, his father is the deputy captain of the Partridge City Criminal Police Team.
Chu Feng is the second in line. Usually the most flowery intestines, but he is never stingy with his friends, and the people in our dormitory have received his favors. His father was a well-known entrepreneur and a leading figure in the advertising industry of Partridge City.
Sun Miao, the third in line. He has an impulsive personality, usually loves to eat, and weighs more than 200 pounds. But you can. His grandfather was one of the three giants of Nanhongmen.
Seeing me walk into the dormitory, Sun Miao slapped her thigh in surprise and didn't even care about the game, "I'll go." Hey, I said it's okay for the fourth, didn't you go to work-study? How did you get this outfit, it's enough to pull the wind. Tut-tut, tell me honestly, are you being a rich woman or something...".
Chu Feng also looked at me curiously: "Hehe." Seven wolves limited edition, this dress is seven or eight thousand, you are really fancied by the rich woman."
I scolded with a black smile on my face: "Damn." Second, you are a dog who can't spit out ivory in his mouth. If a rich woman wants to find it, she also wants to find a little fresh meat like you."
Sun Miao sat on the chair with her head tilted and laughed, only to hear the sound of "bang", due to Sun Miao's excessive range of movements, the chair broke from behind, Sun Miao's whole person "poofed", sat on the floor, and the laughter stopped abruptly.
I smiled and said, "Haha, let your mouth owe, retribution, you touch your ass now to see if it cracks in the middle".
Chu Feng's waist couldn't stand up with a smile at the moment, "Haha, third child, you are just funny."
I took off my burgundy suit, carefully folded it and put it in the basin, "What, second and third, you guys go on, I'm sleeping, good night brother."
I was so tired that I didn't wash my feet, so I fell asleep in bed......
