Chapter 325: A Visit to the Tulip Apartment
Pufang Street can be regarded as an old street in Yongchuan, and almost as soon as you walk into this street, you will have the illusion of turning back time. It seems that it was brought to a certain moment hundreds of years ago in just a moment, but there is a building that breaks this illusion and suddenly exists on this street: the Tulip Apartment.
In fact, there was another hospital with Chinese architecture on the site of the Yujin apartment, but a fire broke out a few decades ago, and the fire lasted all night, burning the entire hospital to ashes. Later, rumors began to circulate that the feng shui in the hospital was not good, or that there was something unclean, so the fire broke out, and as a result, the original owner of the land was bent on selling the land.
Despite this, due to various unfavorable rumors, although it has been listed for sale for many years, few people have paid attention to it. Until a young man named Dong Fan appeared, he fell in love with this piece of land at once, and did not hesitate to buy the land directly after paying the full amount.
The neighborhood was full of discussions, feeling sorry for the fact that he had suffered such a big loss at a young age, and advised him to sell it as soon as possible, but he did not think so at all, and almost the day after he bought it, he found a craftsman to start construction.
And what made the neighbors even more puzzled was that he was not looking for ordinary bricklayers, but some more professional workers. The workers soon built a Western-style building in the middle of a Chinese-style building, a three-story building that had only been seen in pictorial magazines for people living in the small city of Yongchuan at the time.
After finishing work, Dong Fan invited his neighbors to visit the building, which made them even more amazed, and the facilities in the building were also very advanced at that time, such as flush toilets and so on. After talking to him, they learned that this young man had been abroad for a long time, and this time he came back to open a European-style apartment of his own, and the Tulip Apartment was completed since then.
This apartment has made all the previous rumors about bad feng shui self-defeating, because the facilities are advanced, and Dong Fan himself is managed and operated with a completely European concept, so it has quickly become the best choice for many people to live or work in Yongchuan for a short time, and some people even live for a long time.
Dong Muya and Min Entong took the copy of the last hidden letter in their diary and stood in front of the door of Yujin's apartment. When they pushed the door in, they happened to meet a woman who was walking out in a hurry, and the strong smell of perfume on the woman's body almost sneezed, so he didn't see her clearly, but Dong Muya looked at her from top to bottom. This woman is about forty years old, with thick makeup on her face, a famous brand and a limited-edition bag on her arm, all exuding the air of a rich woman.
The lobby of the apartment is very square, facing them is the front desk, and on either side of the front desk are two stairs leading to the second floor of the apartment, and the stairs are made of the same heavy dark brown wood as the front desk, and you can faintly smell the aroma of wood. A young man in a black vest, trousers, and bow tie was standing behind the front desk, like him, it is rare for a boy to be so meticulous about his appearance at a young age, but Dong Muya took a closer look and felt that this young man was so familiar.
"Hello, welcome to Tulip Apartment, what can I do for you?" The young man habitually said this passage, and then was stunned for a moment and exclaimed, "Teacher Dong! ”
"Dong Haofan, why are you here?! I almost didn't recognize you......" Dong Muya's surprise was no less than that of this young man.
"This apartment is owned by my grandfather, and I will come over to help sometimes, ...... are you here?" Dong Haofan looked curiously at Min Entong behind Dong Muya, as far as he knew, his homeroom teacher did not have children.
"Oh, this is my nephew, their family is going to live in Yongchuan for a while, and I heard a lot of people say that this apartment is good, so we came to see it." Dong Muya hurriedly dealt with him.
"Oh? I can help you with the apartment too. Dong Haofan was eager to try to show the head teacher Dong Muya that he was different from the school.
"I was on the phone with your grandfather before, so I still want to meet him and talk." Dong Muya refused.
"Well, wait a minute!" Dong Haofan picked up the phone at the front desk and dialed a few numbers, then said into the microphone, "Grandpa, someone is looking for it!" ”
Under his guidance, Dong Muya led Min Entong to the outside of the room at the end of the corridor on the left. When they arrived, the door of this room had already opened a crack, and the strong smell of black tea was coming out of it, and Dong Muya knocked on the door a few times.
"Come in!" The old man's voice rang out in the door.
Dong Muya and Min Entong walked into Dong Fan's room, which was a suite, with the outside as a living room and study, and a bedroom inside. Dong Fan was sitting on the sofa at the entrance, the teapot on the table was still steaming, as if he had a premonition that there would be guests, and even the number of guests was predicted by him, because the cups on the table facing up were exactly three.
The planetarium next to the desk rotated wonderfully, constantly reflecting the sunlight coming in from the window behind the desk, producing a shimmering golden glow on the wall, making the whole room full of dreaminess.
"You're here at the right time, the tea has just been brewed, sit down!" The old man raised his hand to the place next to him and said.
"Excuse me! Are you Dong Fan? Dong Muya smiled and nodded.
"yes." Dong Fan poured two cups of black tea for her and Min Entong, and then his kind gaze stayed on Min Entong and asked, "Do you want to add milk and sugar cubes?" ”
"Hmm." Min Entong nodded, for some reason the unique aura emanating from the old man in front of him made him no longer have the defense when he got along with others in the past, but showed an attitude closer to that of children of the same age.
Dong Muya took out the copy of the hidden letter in her pocket, handed it to Dong Fan, and said, "We are here today for the contents of this letter. ”
"Oh, you've read it too?" Dong Fan took the letter and did not show a surprised expression, because he had already read the contents of the letter.
Although Ran Tianyou's stay was not very long, he was very chatty, because Dong Fan himself was very fascinated by some incredible phenomena, and he had a specialty, that is, he was born to make others have an indescribable sense of trust.
The first time he saw Ran Tianyou, he knew that this person was not ordinary, and later he invited Ran Tianyou to dinner, and after drinking some wine, Ran Tianyou told him that he was engaged in the work of a demon hunter, and even in the end, he did not hide the purpose of his return to China from Dong Fan.
After this in-depth conversation, Ran Tianyou and Dong Fan became friends, which is why at the last moment, Ran Tianyou would rest assured that his precious diary would be in Dong Fan's hands. Dong Fan was convinced of what he had told about the Charm Spirit, and showed him some information he had collected over the years about the incredible phenomena of Yongchuan and the rest of the world. He never thought that after Ran Tianyou handed over the diary to him, he suddenly disappeared from the world, and there was no news for more than ten years.
"Yes, we are working for Ouyang Xiaoleng, the son of Ran Tianyou's sister mentioned in the letter, and now he is looking for clues about Ran Tianyou's disappearance, so if you know something, please be able to tell us!" Dong Muya said to Dong Fan, thinking that he was Dong Haofan's grandfather, in addition to making her feel that Yongchuan was indeed very small, she couldn't help but think that this might be a kind of fate.
"Well, Ran Tianyou knows me, so he must have guessed that I would find a way to find him after he disappeared, and in the process of searching, I am likely to get some useful information, so I let you come to me."
Dong Fan got up from the sofa as he spoke, walked to the back of his desk with a light step, and took out a small key from the pocket on his chest on his vest, and then used it to open a drawer on the desk and take out a folder from it. He deeply forgot to glance at the thick blue folder, the information in it was all collected by him with great effort, and then placed it on the coffee table in front of Dong Muya.
"What is this?" Dong Muya asked.
"It's some information I've gotten in the process of searching for Ran Tianyou for more than ten years, I'm old, and it's likely that I won't be able to continue this work one day, and then I'll ask you to find this friend for me, I always have a feeling that he's still alive somewhere." Dong Fan sat back in the position he had just placed and said.
When he looked in the mirror this morning, he felt that his face was for some reason obviously not as good as it had been a few days ago, and he had gradually begun to be unable to deal with the work in the apartment recently, although he still had the desire to solve all the mysteries in his heart, but after all, the years were unforgiving. Human beings always have a limited lifespan, but fortunately, someone can take over from him to continue solving this problem, and only in this way will what he did before not be in vain.
"Did you really decide to leave this to us?" Dong Muya picked up the blue folder and asked.
"yes, finish your tea and go about your work, I'm a little tired." Dong Fan replied affirmatively.
"Thank you!" Dong Muya and Min Entong said these two words almost at the same time, and added with the help of her thinking of something quite important, "I forgot to introduce myself just now, my name is Dong Muya, and I am Dong Haofan's homeroom teacher, so please keep the real reason why I came here secret from him, just say that I am interested in this apartment." ”
After walking out of Dong Fan's room, Dong Muya teased Min Entong and said, "It's really rare that you can say those two words!" ”
"Don't you think he has a special aura to that room?" Min Entong seems to be still immersed in meeting Dong Fan.
Seeing the two of them return to the hall, the young man standing behind the front desk walked around, walked a few steps quickly to open the door of the apartment for them, and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Dong!" ”
