Chapter 1 Picking up leaks
"Master, just pull over to the side of the building in front of you."
The Didi driver, who was silent all the way, slowed down by leaning on the side of the road and said, "Eh, how much does it cost you to live here for a month?" ”
"2500 a month, bet one and pay three." Tu Qi replied honestly.
The driver snorted and said, "Lie, the rent here is expensive." With that, the car stopped.
Tu Qi said thank you, got out of the car and took out his luggage from the trunk.
The May sun lost the warmth of spring, and in the shadow of the street trees at Tuqi Station, he held a mobile phone in one hand and dragged his luggage in the other, hesitating to enter the Tangshui Building.
He now has two paths to choose from.
The first is to continue walking 1.2 kilometers under the noon sun, enter the center of the business district, and find only 14 floors of pure branch apartments in the dense and dense buildings with 100 floors.
The second is to enter the air-conditioned sugar water building, and then follow the navigation on the mobile phone to find the Chunzhi apartment.
This route is provided by netizens. The introduction reads: After my research, this is the closest way to Junzhi Apartment, and it is worth a try when it is warm in winter and cool in summer!
Tu Qi took a deep breath, looked at the red route with seven twists and turns on the big map, and resolutely walked into the Tangshui Building. It's really not like to rub the air conditioner.
Isn't there a dead end ahead? Twenty more meters? There's a door here? Is it really possible to get in here? Is this a trespass?
"No, no, no, I don't buy a house." "No, no, I don't eat." "No, no, I'm not here to find the toilet." "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just borrowed it."
After a battle of wits and courage, Tu Qi finally saw the door number of Chunzhi's apartment. He wiped his face, which was covered with ash from the time he had just passed the construction site.
The sound of the end of navigation comes from the headset: the end of navigation and you have walked a total of 1.2 km.
Forget it, forget it, it's worth it by passing through one air-conditioned room after another.
The four black characters of "Junzhi Apartment" are lined up vertically on a white longboard and hung by the door. This form of door number was seen at the door of the Institute of Chemistry when he was a child. The exterior wall of the apartment was supposed to be a warm pink, but after 30 years of wind and rain, it is now a mixture of white, black and gray.
Not to mention anything else, this appearance, this location, and this anyone has to sigh a word of cheap rent.
Tu Qi has a well-founded suspicion that this apartment is haunted.
As a recent graduate, he found a job and a place to live the day before the school was required to move out.
Failed the graduate school entrance examination, missed the recruitment season, missed the internship period, repeatedly rejected the thesis, the defense was full of loopholes, and fell into the algae-filled lake of the school while taking the graduation photo. Its bumpiness is comparable to finding a Chunzhi apartment according to the "best route" of netizens. But in the end, Tu Qi's graduation was not bright.
Under the pressure of Tu's mother step by step, Tu's father found a job for Tu Qi, and also gave him a place to live.
"The monthly rent is 2500, and the deposit is one and pays three. You don't have to worry about rent for the first three months of your job, you pay 2000 a month, and after three months, you pay 500 a month. The deposit is not yours. Tu's father paused, and wanted to say something more unkind. The mobile phone was snatched away by Tu's mother.
"Don't listen to your dad. Keep your salary for yourself, things are expensive over there, don't go hungry, and be careful not to get sick......"
"Yes, don't get sick, if you are sick, you have no money to see a doctor, we will not pay you." Tu's father's words are used as background sounds, flickering far and near.
Tu's mother continued: "...... If you don't have any money, you will say that you will come back if you don't want to stay in Yuecheng. ”
Tu Qi stiffly agreed, and ended the call when Tu's mother finally felt dry and was almost finished.
Tuqi's hometown and Yuecheng are 6,000 kilometers away. As a chick who has just stepped into society, he admires the social network of adults even more.
He has never seen the landlord of Chunzhi Apartment 701, Tu's mother said that the room key is in the security duty room, and there is everything in the rented house, and you can live directly with people.
The windows of the security room are covered with anti-peeping film, so you can only look from the inside out.
He knocked twice, and the window opened, reacting like a mechanism in an escape room.
With the palm of one hand facing up, a key stretched out inside. The key has a "701" sign on it.
Tu Qi was stunned for a moment, but only three seconds at most. That hand shook impatiently from side to side, and it was actually urging him?
Okay.
Took the keys and dragged his luggage to the elevator. In fact, the apartment is very bright, there are messy phones on the wall, but there are no traces of liquid on the floor. The elevator is unexpectedly clean, and the absence of urine smell is a great thing.
"Ding-" The elevator stopped on the seventh floor, and when the door was fully opened, Tu Qi pushed out the elevator first with the suitcase in front. Suddenly, a half-man tall suitcase rushed from the right. The two boxes collided, and the weak were injured, and even the innocent were injured.
Tu Qi was crushed by his own box and rushed back to the elevator.
A crisp voice on the right outside the elevator said sorry several times, but when Tu Qi recovered his strength, he didn't see the owner of this big unconventional suitcase.
The elevator door began to close, Tu Qi stretched out his hand to block it, pushed open the two boxes, and walked out of the elevator.
He looked to the right, and the door was wide open, showing the house number 702. There was a mess at the door of the room, large and small parcels and garbage, school bags everywhere and dirty sacks. Inside the room stood a girl with a cute and delicate face, and her eyes were exceptionally good-looking, a little short. Although Tu Qi is a, he is also a vulgar visual animal, and he can't afford to be dissatisfied with such a girl.
The girl looked at him as well, and the two looked at each other, and she said sorry again.
Tu Qi shook his head, pointed to something on the ground and said, "Do you need help?" ”
The girl said, "No, no, someone is coming to pick me up." Do you live in 701? ”
Tu Qi nodded, "You live in 702?" ”
Girl: "I'm moving out today." ”
Tu Qi: "Oh. ”
I don't know why, both of them feel a little embarrassed. Tu Qi pushed the oversized suitcase next to the pile of things, and then received a sweet thank you from the girl.
He said, "Knock on my door if you need my help." ”
The girl smiled and nodded, Tu Qi turned around and walked back to the door of 701, opened the door, carried the box, closed the door, and did it in one go.
Pretty women and men are poison. He leaned against the door and thought as he surveyed the structure of the house.
The rental house is indeed fully equipped, because there has been no one living in it for a while, and the furniture and objects have accumulated a thin layer of dust. Tu Qi cleaned up briefly, sorted out the suitcase, and made a bed, even if the move was completed.
During this time, the sound outside the door and the sound of the elevator alternated and sounded regularly. By the time Tu Qi went out to forage for food, the outside of the house was clean and quiet, and the girl had already left.
It's a meal, and it's in the business district, any store, and there are piles of people waiting at the door.
Tu Qi has never been used to queuing, but even if he is willing to wait, he has no money to eat.
After dragging his gurgling stomach around at the speed of eating after eating, he immediately ordered the Shaxian snack outside, and calculated the delivery fee, and it was done for ten yuan.
Tu Chick Cub feels that he is just around the corner to become a rich man.
He wandered around again, figuring out the locations of five internet cafes, two video game malls, and a 24-hour pharmacy.
In the end, among the crowded foraging army and square dancing sisters, I found the right direction back to Chunzhi's apartment. I even met my own takeaway in the elevator. When the takeaway brother checked the information and handed it to him, Tu Qi felt like an abandoned son confessing his relatives.
He's really hungry, it's his first meal of the day, don't ask, if you ask, you're poor.
Tu Qi turned on the TV and watched his mobile phone eat and take a shower, the light in the living room was on, and the bedroom door was closed. Set your alarm. Lie down with your phone in hand and start the first night of 701.
It was almost midnight when he took off his headphones and prepared for bed. Suddenly, he heard the elevator "ding-" sound, and in the silent night, his heartbeat was expanded countless times.
On the seventh floor, he should be the only one who lives...... Bar...... Thinking of this, it is no exaggeration to say that his hair stood on end.
This is a 30-year-old apartment, and only one hand of security can be seen in the duty room on the first floor, and the exterior wall is very ghostly...... Everything he saw during the day snapped in front of his eyes, and every picture was full of ominousness and weirdness.
His body tensed, and his phone was dialing. He stared at the signal grid, and if something was wrong, he called the police.
I don't know if a few minutes or seconds have passed, Tu Qi relaxed a little and heard the sound of "clang" knocking on the security door.
The sound frightened him and he almost jumped out of bed. He wanted to get out of bed and turn on the light, but the whole person was huddled into a ball, and he didn't even dare to leave the quilt.
He turned on his phone's flashlight and shone it on the bedroom door.
"Bang, bang......" knocks on the door tend to be rapid and intensive.
This made Tu Qi calm down a little, because the knock on the door was not particularly loud, and the knock was not 701, but 702.
Wrapped in the summer air conditioner, he got out of bed lightly and turned on the bedroom light. Then he walked slowly to the entrance and looked at the door from a distance of three or four meters.
He looked at the cat's eye from a distance, and although he couldn't see anything, he could see that the lights outside the room were on, which made him feel a lot more relieved.
As he approached the door, countless images flashed through his mind.
The face of the person who is pale and terrifying and has no facial features, but you just know that it is smiling, the girl in red who bleeds and floats in the air and bangs on the door, and the man in a suit who has a quarter of his head cut off to reveal a full brain......
Although he was not lightly frightened by himself, he still moved to the cat's eye in the continuous, evenly forced, and stable sound of "Bang Bang, Bang Bang, Bang Bang".
In the end, what gave him courage was the "bang, bang, bang" outside the door that stopped, and then turned into heart-rending vomiting.
In this way, there is an eighty percent chance that the one who smashed the door of room 702 late at night is a person, and who knows what the remaining two percent are.
For the sake of this eighty percent possibility, although Tu Qi's legs are still weak, he still feels that he can take a gamble.
Outside the cat's eye, a young-dressed man bent over, his hand propped up on the door of 702, spitting sour water outward.
Tu Qi frowned, he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, he had already smelled the smell of stomach acid mixed with wine.
Before he could decide whether to leave the matter to himself, he saw the man lift the hem of his clothes, wipe his mouth, and slam the door again. This time it was a little different, and he cried as he smashed it.
"Bang bang ......bang
Tu Qi took the quilt off his body, put on a casual dress, stepped on canvas shoes and opened the door and walked out.
He thought: It's good that he decided to be decisive, if he heard this cry directly, it would really scare him to move.
"Are you alright?" Tu Qi walked behind the man and patted him on the shoulder. Sure enough, there was a sour smell of wine mixed with gastric juice.
"Sisi~Why did you come back later than me~" The man turned around, threw himself into Tu Qi's arms, and said poignantly.
Tu Qi stepped back in shock, the man hung softly on him, and the two almost fell backwards together.
What's that? Is this going to touch porcelain?
"Hey, brother, do you live here? You're drunk hey! I'm not guessing. Tu Qi pushed his shoulder hard, trying to get away from him.
The man raised his head and looked at Tu Qi in confusion, and Tu Qi saw his face and found that he should be about the same age as himself.
Man, ah no, the boy looked at Tu Qi for a while and said, "Yes, I'm drunk, you can send me home." ”
Tu Qi: ???
And so on and so forth! What is this opening? Is it really porcelain? Immortal jump? Is the crook's acting so superb now? Now that the personal information of society has been leaked to the point that it is impossible to hide the sexual orientation? Is my life going to be ruined just because of a good person and a good deed?
"Gross-"
When Tu Qi fell into the inner theater, the boy had already turned around, returned to his previous posture and continued to vomit.
Tu Qi looked at him and decided to send someone to the west.
If, if it was really the Immortal Jump, he must leave evidence that he was forced......
After spitting this wave, the boy seemed to wake up a little. This time he didn't turn around, just turned his head to look at Tu Qi. His face turned red, and he said, "My key is in my coat pocket, I live in 112, please give me a look." ”
Tu Qi agreed.
