Chapter 7 Newcomers move in
If it weren't for the old man staring at me with a vicious look, I would have treated him like a faded plastic man.
Yes, the old man stared at me with a fierce look, as if I had a grudge against him.
I look like someone who owes him money? Looks like the man who kidnapped his daughter? Looks like someone who erased him with an eraser?
"Are you going to get in?! What are you doing standing stupidly?! ”
Before I could shake off the shock of the old man's strange appearance, he yelled at me in a reprimanding tone. I hurriedly came back to my senses and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, my brain wasn't at home just now. ”
After speaking, I hurriedly strode in, the elevator door slowly closed, and I stood with my back to the old man Bai, and I couldn't help but feel like I was on my back.
Without even looking back, I knew he was staring at me, from the back of my head all the way to my heels.
"Humph!"
The old man suddenly let out a heavy sound, and I got goosebumps in my fright.
"Now these advertisements are really not a thing! It's posted everywhere, it's ugly to death! The old man still kept that tone, there were just me and him in the elevator, was he talking to himself or to me?
I couldn't guess, but out of politeness I thought I should look back at him, and as soon as I turned around, he immediately shifted his gaze away from the advertising poster on the wall to my face.
The poster was not a small advertisement for psoriasis, it was a reasonable and legal elevator advertisement with a photo frame.
Seeing that I was looking at him, the old man stared at me in the eyes, and it was the kind of eyes that did not share the sky.
I slowly turned my head and thought to myself, how good it would be that I didn't get into the elevator just now? Riding the elevator with such a strange old man is like sitting on pins and needles every second.
"Ding Dong~"
When I finally reached the first floor, I walked out of the elevator as if I had been pardoned, and after a few steps I felt that it was rude to do this, after all, the old man had not really done anything to me, so I slowed down and looked back.
The elevator door slowly closed behind me, but the strange old man didn't come out, he was still standing in the elevator, and I could still see through the crack in the door that he was still looking at me with that kind of look until the elevator door was completely closed.
Blame the old man going to the underground garage? No, he obviously didn't press the floor button of minus 1, or did he make a temporary decision to go back to his own house upstairs?
Huh? How is the elevator ... Not up or down?
What is the blame old man doing?
Suddenly, a green light flashed on the door of my head reminded me of a detail, when I entered the elevator just now, it seemed that all the floor buttons in the elevator were dimmed, and I pressed the button on the first floor.
The strange old man was in the elevator just now, and he never thought about going to any floor? He just stayed in the elevator?
Neurotic, huh? Psychotic? Why is my next door Wang a patient?
I feel a little crazy, I've seen a few of the residents of this building, and in comparison, the annoying mother and son bear seem to be the most normal people.
Suddenly, the elevator sounded, and then a flashing upward arrow appeared on the floor display, and the number of floors began to rise, and the elevator went up...
The elevator didn't stop until it reached the top floor, and after a while, it began to descend again.
Is the weird old man still in the elevator?
I was curious and wanted to wait for the elevator to come down, but I was a little scared, what if the old man was really there?
Forget it, wait here, satisfy your curiosity, if the old man is still in the elevator, I will pretend that I have just come back from outside, anyway, he does not know what I am going to do downstairs and how long I will stay.
Ten... Nine... The elevator slowly descended to the first floor...
Forget it, I'd better go.
I haven't listened to Liang Jingru for a long time, and no one has given me courage, in case this weird-tempered old man Bai just showed his usual state, then seeing that I was waiting for him, would it turn into a violent state?
What happens if he goes berserk? Rush him this color... Will a blizzard turn me into frozen dumplings as soon as I raise my hand? Wouldn't I be delicious?
I thought as I walked out the door, and the courtyard of the community was peaceful, with some basking in the sun, some walking their dogs, and some not basking in the sun and not walking their dogs.
I didn't leave the community, I just walked around the yard twice, and suddenly I saw the intermediary sister who brought me into the community walked out of a unit, smiling as always, followed by a couple of people who looked like a couple, and it seemed that they had also come here to rent a house.
The eldest sister of the agent also saw me, she smiled and waved to me, and I also waved in response, and continued to walk my steps.
The couple who came to see the house seemed to be very satisfied with the new house, nodding their heads, the intermediary sister was also a look that had seen the intermediary fee beckoning to her, the three of them were walking out, suddenly, a sunbathing aunt shouted at the intermediary sister, with this call, my attention was also attracted to the past.
After the aunt finished calling, she beckoned to the intermediary sister, and the intermediary sister hurriedly trotted all the way to the aunt.
There are a few aunts and old aunts around the aunt, after the intermediary sister approached, I don't know if it was my delusion, I felt that those aunts were not very happy, all with elongated faces.
The aunt who greeted the intermediary whispered something in the intermediary's ear, and the intermediary was busy explaining something after listening, and the voice was not loud, but it could be seen that the intermediary's eldest sister seemed to want to persuade the aunt, but the aunt was not to be outdone, and the two of them were saying their own reasons.
I talked for five or six minutes, and there was a bit of a stalemate.
Suddenly, an old lady who looked the oldest on the bench paused the antique wooden cane in her hand to the ground, and at the same time let out a heavy "Humph!" The aunt and the intermediary sister immediately shut up like a chilling cicada.
Huh? This old lady can't be the same as the weird old man in the elevator, right? How do you feel that this "hum" is exactly the same paragraph?
But this old lady is not as white as the old man, her skin is not white, her hair is not all white, and she wears colorful clothes.
The old lady's statement seemed to be a sentence, and the eldest sister of the intermediary sighed dejectedly, and then said something very respectfully to the old lady, and walked to the couple who were looking at the house.
The couple, like me, watched all this in confusion until the agent returned to the two of them, and the three of them talked for a while.
The agent shook his head from time to time, but the couple seemed to be pleading, and the girl even grabbed the intermediary's arm and shook it.
After a while, the young man in the couple seemed to have made up his mind, he whispered something in the ear of the eldest sister of the intermediary, and after finishing speaking, the expression of the eldest sister of the intermediary immediately became extremely shocked, but the faces of the couple turned red at the same time, and the expression was slightly embarrassed.
The eldest sister of the intermediary glanced at the young man up and down, suddenly put on her professional smiling face again, and trotted all the way back to the old lady, and said something respectfully in front of the old lady.
I was about ten meters away from them, and I could hear the intermediary's eldest sister talking, but I couldn't hear the content clearly.
This time, after the intermediary sister finished speaking, the old lady nodded lightly, and the aunt who greeted the intermediary just now also said something, and the other aunt suddenly pointed to the unit where I lived and said something, the intermediary sister nodded knowingly, and happily ran back to the couple, and took them towards the unit where my new home is located...
I belong to the more curious group, and I just wanted to ask the agent about my neurotic neighbor next door, so after seeing the agent sister walk into my unit door with the little couple, I hurriedly walked a few steps and followed.
It's just that the distance between me and the three of them is not far away, unless both elevators are not on standby on the first floor, otherwise I don't think I can catch them into the elevator.
Sure enough, when I walked into the unit building, the elevator doors closed and I slowly climbed up, finally stopping on the fifth floor.
In addition to being disappointed, I felt that I was a little too "troublesome mother", and I wanted to ask the intermediary sister to go directly to her. What's more, what if you ask?
After thinking about it, I pressed the elevator button and took another elevator back to my home.
When I got home, I wondered what to add to my home, the kitchen was empty, there was nothing, should I buy it now? If Lao Wang sees that I buy a stove now, will I come to trouble me again?
Although I now have the property manager Gu to support me, but for the time being, I have already promised Lao Wang not to cook on the fire, so let's do what I say and avoid some unnecessary troubles.
In addition, the necessities of life seem to be almost purchased, and it is not interesting to play with your mobile phone at home, so you can simply go out and shop around to see if there are suitable things and buy them back.
To the west of the community is the back wall of a large shopping mall, which is very high and has no decoration.
What is more incomprehensible is that this shopping mall is close to the community, but there is no direct road, if you want to go to this shopping mall, you can only go out from the gate of the community, and then go around a big circle from his main entrance.
I just haven't been shopping before, so I'm going to check it out.
The main entrance of this mall is at the corner of a large intersection, and the entrance is a small square that is quite wide, and I entered the mall from the main entrance, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw a map detailing what was on each floor of the mall.
Various clothing stores... All kinds of playgrounds... Various restaurants... Huh? How come there is no supermarket?
I confirmed and confirmed, there are five floors above ground and two floors underground, and there is indeed no supermarket.
It's strange, how come such a big shopping mall doesn't have the most commonly used supermarket to live at home?
I was a little unwilling and a little unconvinced, so I walked up to a person who looked like a mall security guard and asked him, "Hello big brother, isn't there a supermarket here?" The security guard shook his head and said dryly, "No." Seeing the security guard's ignorance, I didn't bother to ask, and after thanking him, I began to walk around here alone.
Walking from the first floor to the fifth floor, only more than half of the shops in the entire mall are open, and the other shops are either empty or sealed, with the words "under renovation" written on the canvas outside.
And apart from me, I probably counted the customers I saw one after another, adding up... There won't be more than thirty people, this number... No matter how hard you work, there are more staff than the mall.
The whole mall is clean and tidy, and the air conditioning is also very sufficient. Why aren't there anybody?
I don't know if it's because there are too few customers here, and the more you shop, the more you feel cold, and even the body feels a little cold, as if the temperature is a little too low...
I happened to be a little hungry, so I simply went downstairs to find a place to eat.
When I left the mall, I immediately felt as if I had crossed directly, and my whole body instantly warmed.
Suddenly, the phone rang, I opened it and saw that it was a WeChat message from Brother Chao: We will go to Zhu Bajie's house with the police in a while, are you interested in visiting?
