Chapter 11: The King is gone
I woke up not long after dawn the next day, and it was only past six in the morning when I looked at my phone.
Alas, I have to say that I am used to getting up early, and it is really uncomfortable to suddenly enter the rest mode.
After washing up, I went downstairs for breakfast, and as soon as I walked out of the security door of the unit building, my whole head immediately became dizzy, and I couldn't help but close the door and take a few steps back.
Uncle, what does this smell like?
The rotting food was mixed with animal feces, and a strange smell that made people hurt all over the body went through the nostrils and went straight to the Tianling Gai, almost hitting me on the head.
Fishy? Bashful? Sour? Stinking?
I shook my head, took a few deep breaths near the elevator, adjusted my mind carefully, and walked heroically towards the door again.
Hey? Why should I go out? By the way, buy breakfast. But am I still hungry?
Forget it, it's good not to vomit, after thinking about it carefully, I returned to the elevator door dejectedly and prepared to go home, but I didn't expect the kung fu elevator to go up at such a moment, one went up to the top floor 23 floors, and the other stopped on the 19th floor.
Not long after, the elevator on the 19th floor came down first, and as soon as the door opened, I involuntarily took two steps back, calmed down and barely smiled and greeted the people in the elevator: "White... What, uncle, good morning. ”
In the elevator is the old man who is not very good-tempered, on the 19th floor, I remember, the next time the elevator stops on this floor first, I will hide.
Old man Bai still looked at me coldly, this time he stepped out of the elevator and gave a heavy "hum" as he passed me, but he didn't say a word more.
I entered the elevator by myself, and it wasn't until I heard the door open and close that I pressed the button on the 13th floor, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
When I got home, I started researching the materials and preparing for the next step.
It's past eight o'clock, and I'm really hungry at this time, and the smell just now should have dissipated, right? I hadn't seen the source of the smell with my own eyes, but I could probably imagine that part of it must have been the work of the people who walked the dog the night before.
Many people here have dogs for the purpose of using a dog toilet anywhere except their own home.
During the day, you can see dogs defecating in the open from time to time, and they are still led by their owners, and they leave after pulling, without stopping, and they are extremely free and easy.
In addition to these dog poops, it should be household garbage, right? Domestic garbage that has been fermented overnight will definitely have a smell, but is this smell a little too big?
I thought about it as I went downstairs, plucked up the courage to open the door of the unit, and took a gentle breath, but fortunately, the smell was much lighter...
After breakfast, I walked back, and as soon as I entered the community, I saw three people standing outside the door of the unit building and talking about something.
A young couple, a middle-aged woman, the young couple I had seen, were the couple who had come to rent a house before. I hadn't seen the middle-aged woman, but I was able to confirm her identity when I got a little closer, because the eldest sister looked exactly like his son.
Seeing me coming, the three of them took a step back slightly, I looked at their large bags of luggage, and asked casually, "Moving?" ”
The man said, "Yes, you're a resident here, aren't you?" We just moved in. I asked, "Why don't you go in?" The young man smiled shyly and said, "I just moved here, and I forgot to bring the door control." ”
I let out an "oh" sound, took out my access card and pressed it on the electronic induction lock, and with a "drop" sound, the security door opened.
The four of us walked into the unit building together, and while waiting for the elevator, I suddenly noticed a strange thing, just now only the young man and I had a conversation, and he also spoke Mandarin, but at this moment he was chatting with his mother, using the local accent of Marina City.
Do locals still want to rent a house to live in?
Although I wondered, I didn't ask much.
At this moment, the elevator finally came, the four of us entered the elevator, and I pressed the 5th and 13th floors directly from the floor button, and the young man asked a little unexpectedly: "Do you know that we live on the 5th floor?" ”
I smiled and said, "Yes, I saw you once before, but I didn't catch up with your advanced elevator that time, and the elevator stopped on the 5th floor, so I guess you live on the 5th floor, right?" ”
The young man smiled, and his mother smiled and said to me, "The young man is very smart." ”
I also smiled, feeling that the atmosphere in the elevator was good, so I said without words: "Auntie, your son really looks like you." ”
I thought it was just an ordinary polite remark, but I didn't expect that as soon as I finished speaking, the expressions of the three of them changed.
The smiles on the faces of the eldest sister and the young man disappeared in an instant, replaced by the coldness that suppressed the anger, and the girl looked at the young man with frightened eyes, then at the, and then at me.
At this time, the elevator reached the 5th floor, and with a "ding dong", the elevator door opened, and the young man walked out of the elevator with a "hum", and the young man followed closely behind, and suddenly lowered his voice and said threateningly when passing me: "Be careful when you speak." ”
Finally, the girl nodded apologetically at me and walked out of the elevator quickly.
The elevator door slowly closed, and I was confused.
I'm still a little depressed when I return to the room, alas, look at the time, Brother Chao should have already gone to work, I guess he is more depressed than me now, I'll call him to listen to his tragic fate and find a balance.
This is the time for the usual morning meeting at work, although today is Zhu Bajie's mother in power, but it is estimated that there will be no shortage of morning meetings, after all, his mother is quite a crazy character, especially like to give speeches at this kind of meeting.
After thinking about it, I still sent a text WeChat message to Brother Chao: Brother Chao, what's the matter? Are you still having a good time today?
A few seconds after I clicked to send, Brother Chao replied with a voice, I clicked on it and listened, it was Brother Chao's voice with a yawn: Guess... Ha~yaw~
Why do you trap this thing into this virtue?
But since he sent a voice, it was convenient to speak, so I dialed his mobile phone number directly.
Brother Chao answered quickly, and I asked, "What's the situation, Brother Chao?" You haven't gotten up yet? Brother Chao said, "Fart, what do you mean by not getting up?" Your brother and I just lay down. I said, "Huh? What do you mean? ”
Brother Chao said: "Damn, the pig had a convulsion as soon as he came to the company last night, and called everyone up in the middle of the night, had a meeting, and let us go out to find Zhu Bajie after the meeting, so where can I find it?" If you don't look for a girl, you will have to deduct your salary, no problem, we all went out and ran all over half of the coastal city. ”
I stifled a smile and said, "What happened? Got it? Brother Chao said: "I found a fart, I even found a stall selling pork in the morning market, Zhu Bajie didn't find it, and I found a bunch of pig heads, do you want it?" ”
I couldn't help laughing, and before I could finish laughing, Brother Chao said, "Is there something wrong with you?" It's okay, I'm hanging, the pig only gives everyone a morning to catch up on sleep, and then let's go to work at noon. ”
I teased, "Go to sleep, poor child~"
As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Chao hung up the phone without even saying goodbye.
After making the call, the mood is indeed better, this old lady is really not a mortal, yesterday I never thought that the old lady could make such a play, and in the middle of the night, a dozen or so amateur contestants searched the whole city for three people who could not be found by the police.
Binhai City is not small, not to mention who said that Zhu Bajie must still be in Binhai City now?
Brother Chao made up for sleep in the morning, so I didn't bother him, and after thinking about it, I began to sort out the previous work materials and look for some suitable brands to operate.
The morning passed like this, and when I came home after eating out at noon, I received a WeChat message as soon as I entered the door, which was a photo sent by Brother Chao.
The point is open, the photo is the office I am familiar with, looking at the shooting angle, Brother Chao should be sitting on a chair as usual in every meeting, and in the middle of the shot is an impassioned pig who is foaming at the mouth.
The old lady is wearing a mink top, a super short leather skirt, and flesh-colored stockings, and the camera only reaches the old lady's knees, but I can imagine that she must be wearing her big red high-heeled shoes at this moment.
Looking at the old lady's face again, under her short bright yellow hair, which is as hot as expired instant noodles, the makeup on her face has been washed by her own sweat into a very abstract postmodern art work. The blood-red mouth under the hook's nose was wide open, and in the air in front of the mouth, a few bits of transparency were flying like elves, which was the old lady's unbridled saliva.
And behind the old lady, there are three strange old men who look like they are hanging, you can guess without asking, this is the old lady's netizen again.
Without Zhu Bajie watching, is the planning to let himself go completely?
Looking at the old lady in the photo, she must be in a state of excitement at this moment.
This person is like this, the more the audience there is, the more energetic she becomes.
I closed the photo and replied to Brother Chao with two words in a heavy heart: haha.
After a while, Brother Chao replied with a long voice, I clicked on it and listened to it for two seconds before turning it off, and in the earpiece was the old lady's shouting at the top of her throat, which sounded like a duck being raped.
After sending this message, Brother Chao never contacted me again, because thinking about the situation on his side, I was a little absent-minded all afternoon.
I was a little irritated halfway, so I went downstairs for a walk.
The weather has been fine in recent days, every day is sunny, there are a lot of people downstairs basking in the sun or walking, Marina City is not very hot in summer, and of course it is far from the point where you need to wear mink like Zhu Bajie's mother. But it's really cool, the hottest time in this city is autumn, and it's muggy, so it's always known as the "autumn tiger".
There are still those people in the courtyard that I already have some impressions, mainly a few aunts of different ages in the small square in the middle of the garden, and a few uncles who are against the wall on the side.
I walked in the courtyard for a while, and suddenly remembered Lao Wang next door, he was still in that clinic, right? Thinking about it, my curiosity was overflowing, and I decided to go to the clinic to have a look.
Strictly speaking, the clinic is outside the community, of course, this is mainly because its main entrance is facing outside, and the main body of the clinic is still in the community.
I cautiously walked to the vicinity of the clinic, the design of the clinic is very transparent, not only the door is glass, but also the large floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides are glass, so you can see the interior at a glance.
It's just that I walked back and forth three times, but I didn't see Lao Wang.
There are several beds through the glass windows, which are equivalent to inpatient quarters, and there seems to be no other place for patients to stay in this clinic.
What about the old king?
The glass transmits light very well, and the scene in the clinic can be seen at a glance, only one of the beds is lying on an aunt who is getting a hanging needle, and the rest of the beds are empty and there is no one.
I changed several angles and postures but didn't find Lao Wang's figure, and I couldn't help but wonder a little, Lao Wang was hidden? Could it be that this community clinic also has a VIP ward?
Lao Wang was indeed not there, and I left the clinic a little disappointed.
Having said that, as long as Lao Wang no longer harasses me, what does it matter to me whether he is dead or alive?
After a short walk, I went home and continued to work on the work materials at hand.
Dinner, go home, get ready for bed.
Although the life and death of Zhu Bajie's family is still uncertain, there are a bunch of question marks on Lao Wang's side, and the neighbors also make me a little big, but overall, today is still a relatively peaceful day.
It was night, I lay down and sent a message to Brother Chao: Brother Chao, are you having a good day?
Brother Chao quickly replied to me: Very happy, come, brother will share it with you.
I said, "Why the are you so embarrassed?" How much is this rebate salary? Brother Chao said: I went to the police station in the afternoon, it wasn't too difficult for us, and it is estimated that the highlight will be tomorrow.
I thought about it and replied to him: What happened to that person?
Brother Chao first made a wicked smile, and then pretended to be stupid and asked me: Who is that?
I gave him a kitchen knife expression, but after a while, Brother Chao replied very strangely: Let's talk about it tomorrow, brother has something to do now.
