Chapter 169: Not Advisable
After Wei Yi confirmed the specific residence of the young man's family, he turned on the communicator and wanted to contact Li Mingyu. But he found that Li Mingyu's communication channel was always in a state of unreachable.
This made Wei Yi feel slightly surprised. After several attempts to contact him to no avail, Wei Yi decided to take the old man to the young man's house first to retrieve the stolen grain.
Thinking of this, he beckoned to the two men and wanted to take them into the car with him. But to Wei Yi's surprise, Yuwen Chengxiu refused to let anyone other than him get in the car.
Wei Yi looked at the chariot in front of him with some astonishment. He said funny: "You're really strange, didn't you let Lin Hai and them go up before?" Why did you change sex at this time? ”
Yuwen Chengxiu's cold, mechanical voice said slowly: "I have the right to make my own decisions. ”
Wei Yi was helpless, so he could only say apologetically to the old man and the young man, "I'm sorry. Let's go on our way. ”
The two men had no objection. The old man even half-jokingly said, "Your car is not simple." I don't think it's a machine, it's almost like us. ”
Wei Wei shrugged his shoulders and smiled, lightly avoiding the topic. He actually felt this way in his heart, but this was obviously not the time to talk about it. He hoped to deal with the old man's matter as soon as possible, and then quickly go to find Shen Xiaoman back. That was the main purpose of his coming to Jindong City.
Fortunately, the young man's home was not too far from the place where the accident occurred. Wei Yi took the old man and followed the young man all the way to the fast walk, and soon reached the destination. This is a tufang area located in the southwest of Jindong City.
These earthen houses were all temporary houses built after the disaster. It is specially designed to house people who have fled here. Because the materials used are relatively simple, they can be taken on the spot, so it is very convenient to build. But because of this, the sanitary conditions are much worse. And because of the large flow of people, this area is a difficult area to manage.
It's as if Wei Yi and the young man had such a fierce conflict on the street just now, but no law enforcement officers came. In such a place, if something goes wrong, it is difficult for people to notice.
This information was only learned by Wei Yi after he came to the Tufang District with the young people. He looked at a large area of densely packed earthen tile houses in the distance, and his heart couldn't help but feel a sour feeling.
Once upon a time, it was also a bustling area of high-rise buildings and commerce. But just because of the mutation of a plant that has never been seen before, it is really unpredictable.
That abominable plant, what the hell did it come from? Wei Yi couldn't help but think of this question again. But before he could think more, he was interrupted by a young man on the side.
The young man pointed to a mud house not far away and said, "That's it, that's my house." ”
His face at this time was happy, apprehensive, expectant, and uneasy. All kinds of complicated emotions poured out of his face together. He tilted his head and looked at the old man next to him with a pleading gaze, asking for the old man's help again.
Wei Yi smiled. He patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. The old man is old, so he won't coax you. Hurry up and knock on the door. Let's get the matter done quickly, and I'll go about it. ”
The young man answered, and ran to his house with joy. Wei Yi watched him run to an earthen house and knocked on the door. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal around, Wei Yi led the old man towards the earthen house.
The structure of the earthen house is very simple. Two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. It's a standard mud house. When Wei Yi stepped into this earthen house, he smelled a strange smell. It seemed to be the rotten smell of dirt, and it seemed to smell of something rotting, and it didn't smell good.
"Maybe it's because of the material." Wei Yi thought to himself. He led the old man through the door, and greeted an aunt who was approaching him under the expectant gaze of the young man.
"Hello, Auntie." Wei Yi greeted politely.
The aunt grinned, her expression a little stiff. Wei Yi was slightly stunned. Seeing this, the young man on the side hurriedly explained: "My mother doesn't usually go out much. I don't deal with people very much. I'll take you inside. It's in the middle. ”
Wei Yi responded, and under the young man's explanation, he didn't care about the strange expression of the aunt. He followed the young man briskly towards the room.
During this time, Wei Yi met the young man's younger siblings. The children, unclothed, curled up on the bed, seemed to be very resistant to strangers. Wei Yi glanced at the beds where the children slept.
It was a big, odd bed. The whole bed is like a big square. The height and length and width are not too much different. It looks like it's been built out of something.
"The conditions are really rudimentary." Wei Yi thought to himself. He looked at it as he thought, and followed the young man to the back of the house. The inner room is not large, and the width of the left and right sides is no more than three meters. Slightly longer. The whole is rectangular in shape. But as soon as Wei Yi walked here, he suddenly felt as if he had walked into a coffin room.
There was a feeling of oppression in the air, which made Wei Yi suddenly feel very uncomfortable. He hurriedly walked backwards. As soon as he walked out of the room, the feeling of oppression in his heart instantly faded.
This is a strange phenomenon. But it's not a red flag. Wei Yi stood at the door, eased his mood, and said, "My heart is a little stuffy, just stand here for a while." You've got it right, just say hello to me. ”
The two people in the room answered, and they got busy with what they should be busy with. Wei Yi stood in the doorway and watched the situation inside the room. He looked at it for a while, and when he saw that there was nothing abnormal, he was relieved.
"Well, it's yours." The young man in the room pointed to a large bag and said to the old man.
The old man was very happy to carry the bag and touched it again and again. That's all he gets for the second half of the month. He had thought that this time he would have to endure it for a while before he could stutter. I didn't expect it to be able to be regained. This made him extremely happy.
The old man grinned for a while, hugged the bag of things, and walked towards Wei Yi. He stretched out the bag in front of Wei Yi and said, "Young man, I think you just came from outside. It's hard to get something decent in the first month of your new arrival. Now, you can take some, save some food, and you can last for a while. ”
Wei Yi waved his hand and politely declined. But as soon as the old man's stubborn temperament came up, he insisted on giving a part of the things to Wei Yi. This made Wei Yi very moved.
But he doesn't lack these things. Moreover, even if he really lacked food, he would never care what the old man wanted. People need these things more than he does.
"Nope. You'd better keep it to yourself. I still have it in my car. Look, if you're not enough, I'll get you some out of the car in a moment. Wei Yi declined again.
The old man disagreed. He walked up to Wei Yi in a few steps, stretched the big bag forward, and stuffed it directly into Wei Yi's hand. He said to Wei Yi: "Take it, take it." You've done me such a big favor, and if you don't take something, I'm sorry for it. ”
Wei Yi smiled, and was about to say no again. He was suddenly startled for no reason. An extremely strong sense of danger instantly surged into his heart. Wei Yi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked around vigilantly.
But everything was business as usual, and nothing happened. Wei Yi's brows furrowed slightly, and he was a little puzzled. The warning signs in his heart were getting stronger and stronger at this time. But there was nothing around him that threatened him. It's business as usual.
The young man in the room was still sorting things out, as if he wanted to return them one by one. The young man's mother takes care of several young children in another room. The enthusiastic old man was still saying words of gratitude. None of this looks likely to be a source of danger.
So what the hell could it be? Wei Yi looked at the bag of things in his hand with some confusion. It was only after he came into contact with this bag of things just now that he suddenly felt a sense of danger in his heart.
Wei Yi squinted his eyes, opened the bag and looked at it carefully. Inside the bag are all kinds of compressed food. Wei Yi glanced at it a few times and tied the mouth of the bag tightly. He carried the bag of things and said to the happy old man on the side: "Old man, don't ask for this bag of yours first?" I'll get you a new bag. Do you think it's okay? ”
The old man was rejoicing that Wei Yi had accepted his gift. When he suddenly heard Wei Yu say this, he couldn't help but be stunned. Puzzled, he asked, "Why?" ”
Wei Yi had no way to convey the warning signal he had just suddenly received to the old man, and he couldn't tell the other party, just because he felt that there was something wrong in his heart. The packaging of these foods, he just took a cursory look, and there was nothing wrong with it. But he had a feeling of extreme danger in his heart.
Wei Yi knows that he has abilities that are different from ordinary people. Every time he was given early warning, he was in danger of extreme danger. Although, everything here seemed fine, he didn't want to take that risk.
Wei Yi shook his head and said to the old man: "Old man, if you believe me, just listen to me." This bag of things, let's not want it yet. All right? ”
The old man hesitated slightly. He carried the bag of things, lifted it up and put it down. After repeating this several times, he finally gritted his teeth, turned his heart sideways, and said, "Medium." I'll listen to you. You're sure you won't hurt me. ”
As he spoke, he turned to the young man and said, "Baby, it's really not easy for me to look at your family. This thing should be given to you by me. Let's make up for those children. ”
The old man said, and put the bag back in the room. He put down his things with some distress, walked a few steps, and looked back a little reluctantly, and finally gritted his teeth and dragged himself out.
