I don't quite believe in this driver's inference, he didn't see how generous Ah San was when they gave Yao Mengnan money in the morning.

We also talked about this during dinner and chatting today, because Mei Dier and I had been to Yao Mengnan's house before, so I had an impression of her furniture and appliances.

If Ah San didn't brag and really gave Yao Mengnan the money for those furniture and appliances, then in comparison, the rent for a year and a half that was refunded to her would not be a lot of money.

But it's hard to say, after all, this community belongs to demolition and reconstruction, and demolition and demolition of nouveau riche are not uncommon in the current social environment, and it can be said that they are everywhere.

Who knows...

We didn't continue the topic of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but thinking of all the oddities in the community before, I asked the taxi driver what else he knew about our community.

Unfortunately, the taxi driver's understanding of the community is also very limited, and some information such as the developer running away halfway has been talked about by the agent when I first moved in, and there is nothing new.

When the taxi drove to the main entrance of the community, Mei Tian'er's snoring had already sounded, presumably because of the alcohol that made her so sleepy.

Wake her up and we get out of the car together, and after the taxi left, I looked at the neighborhood that was obviously different from usual, and I didn't rush in.

All the windows in the neighborhood were dark tonight, and none of them turned on the lights.

I know that the neighborhood is not full, many rooms are empty, and I haven't seen the lights on since I moved in. But for the first time there is not a single light on like today.

"Why is it so quiet? Sister, turn on the lights for my sister..."

Mei Tian'er's voice floated, she really didn't drink much today, Chen Haobei heard Mei Tian'er say this and immediately said: "Oh, great, let's go, let's go home quickly, brother will turn on the lights for you." ”

"Get out, stinky and shameless, stay away from my sister..."

Mei Tian'er, who drank too much, still didn't forget to instinctively protect her sister, and I also took the opportunity to tease: "Brother Hao, it's not the place to be courteous." ”

Chen Haobei said to me, "Get out", and then he diligently wanted to get started to help Mei Tian'er, but Mei Tian'er didn't know what she thought, she wrapped her arm around Chen Haobei's neck, and directly came to kill her throat, and Chen Haobei was speechless for a long time.

I continued to look around while it was clean, there were dark lights in the empty gate, no one, only a few street lights were on in the community, the brightness was limited, and it belonged to the level where I could only see the road, it was yellow and dark.

Chen Haobei, who was about to lose his breath, coughed violently after being let go by Mei Tian'er, and the cough of this thing was particularly loud, probably because it was too quiet before, and his cough startled some birds in the air to follow.

"How can there be crows?"

Mei Di'er whispered, I can hear it too, there are crows flying and chirping in the night sky overhead, but they don't seem to fly far, and they keep hovering above the roof of the building where I am located.

"Let's go back quickly, why do I feel weird in the middle of the night?" Mei Di'er said as she tightened her clothes, as if it was very cold.

I agreed, "Yes, let's go, my hometown also has this custom, and when you see this kind of bad luck bird, you have to walk around." ”

Although the crow has been known as a "filial bird" since ancient times, as far as I know, at least all the Chinese people I know do not think that this is an auspicious bird.

Because this bird eats scavengers, the bird smelled and flew over when someone was going to die. Also, wherever there is a mass grave or something, there must be crows.

Because of their special dietary taste, their appearance has always been associated with words such as death, misfortune, and disaster, and gradually it has become a related symbol.

As I walked back, I continued to look around, indeed, there was not a single light on, and there was no sound at all, it didn't feel like everyone in the neighborhood was sleeping, but it was like all the rooms in the neighborhood were empty, and there was no one at all...

The crow's cry made the dark night seem quieter, and none of the four of us spoke, but we all involuntarily quickened our pace.

Chen Haobei and I sent the Mei sisters home first, and after arriving at their house, I understood why there was no light in the community except for a few miserable street lamps in the yard, and there was a power outage...

I took out my mobile phone and looked at the time, it was more than ten o'clock in the evening, and the battery was less than half left.

Mei Di'er used her mobile phone to illuminate, went back to the bedroom to find a few spare candles, and only felt better after lighting them, although the light of the candles was also very weak, but it was better than being completely dark.

"Hey, Uncle Gu, why is there a power outage in my house?"

Patronizing to see Mei Di'er lighting candles, she didn't pay attention to when Chen Haobei called Lao Gu. Actually, I thought about fighting just now, but it was too late to see that I didn't fight.

What's more, this is obviously a power outage in the whole community, even if you know the cause, what can you do? This must not be able to supply electricity to just three of our households.

Chen Haobei, who answered the phone, hung up the phone after a while, and Mei Dier asked, "How is it?" When will the call come? ”

Chen Haobei didn't answer directly, but said, "I will teach you what Uncle Gu just said." ”

Saying that, he was sitting on the precarious side, putting on a very serious expression, and then deliberately lowered his voice and said in a thick voice: "Hey, it's the handsome Haobei..."

"Say it well!" Mei Tian'er startled me with a burst of drinking, Chen Haobei swallowed his saliva, and after pouting a little helplessly, he continued to say in the tone just now: "It's Haobei, oh, there is a problem with the line, it is being repaired, the power in the whole community will be out until dawn tomorrow, rest early, Uncle Gu loves you, Mo Da..."

You don't need to ask to know that the last two sentences were added by himself, and Lao Gu can't say such things. I said with some disdain: "You are really bad at learning, and this is not the tone of the old man's speech." ”

Chen Haobei retorted: "He just spoke like this, it's not the same taste as usual at all, or why do you think I want to learn from him?" I didn't have time to record, Emma, you don't know, it sounds like a ghost movie dubbing. ”

I know that this thing is often unreliable, and I don't bother to be hypocritical with him, and seeing that the time is not early, I said: "Then let's go back and rest early, isn't it a total of three days off, and we will meet tomorrow." ”

Mei Tianer didn't speak, Chen Haobei and Mei Dier didn't object, and it could be seen that everyone was a little tired from playing this day.

When sending me and Chen Haobei out, Mei Dier specially gave me and Chen Haobei two candles for us to use. This thing is not valuable, and I really don't have it at home, so Chen Haobei and I didn't refuse.

As soon as he entered the elevator with a candle, Chen Haobei reached out and pressed the button on the negative floor, and I suddenly reacted, why did I want to enter the elevator with him? My house is upstairs.

Thinking of this, I walked directly out of the elevator, but Chen Haobei suddenly said to himself: "Hey? Elevator broken? ”

I turned around and asked, "What?" Chen Haobei replied: "Why doesn't this button respond?" ”

Hearing him say this, I went back to the elevator, the goods are constantly pressing the button on the negative floor, but no matter how I press it, there is no response, the button keyboard light is not on, and the elevator is not moving.

I said, "Can't you?" We just came up and took this elevator, isn't it good? By the way, you press a different button to try. ”

Chen Haobei started to press other buttons as I said, but the buttons from the 1st to the 11th floor were all lit up by him.

The elevator door slowly closed, and I said a little depressedly: "Damn, why are you like a bear child?" It's all on. ”

Chen Haobei ignored me, continued to focus on pressing the button on the negative floor, the elevator quickly opened on the 11th floor, I walked out of the elevator and said: "Don't press it, it's obviously the negative layer is broken, you just go back from the ground, it's really lazy, and then go underground are you not afraid of encountering ghosts again?" ”

When I finished this last sentence, the elevator doors were almost closed, and Chen Haobei raised his head at the last moment and glared at me with small eyes: "Get out!" Don't curse me! ”

The elevator doors finally closed completely and began to descend slowly.

I was a little depressed and walked towards the fire escape, I only had to climb one floor, but this time I had to climb two floors.

Back on the thirteenth floor, I deliberately paid attention to the elevator that Chen Haobei took just now, and it turned out that he had already reached the first floor, it seems that he must have double-clicked to cancel it from floor to floor, otherwise it would not be so fast.

Turning the elevator hall to the corridor where my house was, as soon as I turned the corner I saw a box on the ground in front of my house, dark colored, flat and rectangular.

I walked over with some wonder and saw that it was a moon cake gift box, and a note was glued to it with double-sided tape, I took a photo with my mobile phone, and there was a line of words written on the note: Hello, dear neighbor, happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

The inscription on the back reads: No. 2104, Li Shuqin's husband stayed.

2104, Li Shuqin's husband, that is the wife of Aunt Li, the newly moved neighbor?

This old man is so polite, no one has ever seen it before he gives moon cakes.

I'm a little ashamed to think of this, how to say that I'm also a junior, I didn't go to visit people first during the big holidays, but they took the initiative to send me things.

But it's late today, I also noticed when I first arrived in the community just now, the supermarket has also closed, and I'll see what to buy for the old couple tomorrow.

Carrying mooncakes into the house, the dark home looks empty. I found a lighter and lit both candles to feel better.

There was no electricity, and there was no way to boil the hot water, so I had to make do with a simple wash with cold water, and then lay down directly to sleep, alas, after all, there was no electricity, and I didn't even dare to play with my mobile phone.

The night was quiet, and there seemed to be no sound except the wind and the crows...

When I woke up at dawn the next day, the first thing I did was to turn on the lights and try to see if there was a call.

When the call came, I hurriedly charged my mobile phone, which had been turned off, and got up to wash.

After cleaning up, I sat on the edge of the bed and carefully studied the box of moon cakes that I didn't have time to look at yesterday, the wooden and simple outer box, the shape looks like the display of Aunt Li's house is the same painting style, presumably this moon cake can't be cheap.

As soon as it was opened, in the vast moon cake box, there were six moon cakes that were not much bigger than the Lantern Festival.

I took out all the six-month bread and tried it, and I could hold it all with one hand.

I suddenly remembered the idiom of buying and returning pearls, and I was deeply touched at this moment, I had the urge to throw away the moon cakes and leave only this delicate small wooden box, but I thought that it was a part of people's hearts after all.

And... And after all, this is the only mooncake I have received, so I should eat it for breakfast.

I originally thought that such a little moon cake, six of them are half full, but I never expected that no matter what the taste of the cake is, it gives me the feeling that there is no other taste except sweet, and I can't eat it when I eat the third, what does it mean to be full? This is obviously tired.

Alas, I haven't eaten mooncakes for a long time, and I don't know if it's my tongue that has changed, or if the mooncakes have changed...

I filled my stomach and drank some water, and turned on my mobile phone, Chen Haobei and Sister Mei didn't send me a message or call, and I guess I haven't woken up yet. There is only one message from Li Xiaomeng, and the time turned out to be what was sent just now: Brother Qian, do you and Brother Hao have any arrangements for today? We're still on vacation. (With emoji: cute)

Brother Hao... It's almost like looking for Brother Hao directly.

A little bored, I dialed Brother Chao's phone directly, I originally thought that this thing hadn't woken up yet, and I just called to wake him up. I didn't expect him to pick it up quickly, and that's not all, I also heard a slightly noisy background sound, obviously outside. So I asked directly: "Brother Chao, are you up here?" Where are you? ”

Brother Chao said: "In the hospital, Wang Yang was not feeling well, so Xiaoxi and I accompanied her to see the doctor. ”
