In desperation, Li Qiufan had to hope for the little girl who handled this business, and asked her if there was any special among these long-lived old people, or any weird rumors or the like.

The little girl didn't know the identities of Li Qiufan and the others, but even their director personally accompanied her, she must have a great background, pursed her lips and thought about it carefully: "There is a... dead and alive... Does it count? ”

"Uh... What does it mean to be dead and alive? The fat man asked.

The little girl was looked at by a group of people, her face was slightly red, she lowered her head and said: "I also heard from the community comrades, there is an old man who lives alone, he is one hundred and three years old on his ID card, some time ago I heard that he was found fainting at home, and the hospital issued a death notice, but he came back to life inexplicably, I heard some people say that he borrowed his life..."

The director frowned and said: "I have also heard about this matter, but I just don't know if it is true or not, Xiao Du, you are now a statistical staff, you must pay attention to the impact of your words in the future, you must pay attention to science in everything, don't spread falsehoods." ”

"I know the director, I haven't told anyone about this again..."

"Hehe... Song Shao, and two... Xiao Du is actually a strict and meticulous girl, she may have just graduated, she can say whatever she hears, don't mind. ”

The director made a round, this is Secretary Song's son-in-person, if he goes back and talks about this matter intentionally or unintentionally in front of Secretary Song, it will also have an impact on him, and maybe it will make Secretary Song feel that he will not manage cadres and employees.

Who knew that Li Qiufan's eyes lit up, and he snapped his fingers and said, "Little sister, do you remember what this person's name is?" ”

The little girl neatly typed a name on the computer and said, "It's him, his name is Li Shunqi." ”

Li Qiufan took out his mobile phone to take a picture of this person's address and other information, said thank you, and said to Song Zihuan: "Where are I and the fat man going to see first, do you want to be together?" ”

Song Zihuan said mysteriously: "Have a clue?" ”

"It's just to try your luck, it's hard to say whether it's him or not, you have to see a real person to be sure."

Song Zihuan didn't say a word: "Go, I'll be your driver!" ”

"Okay, let's go now!"

Following the navigation, the three of them soon arrived at the community where Li Shunqi lived, which is an old-age community, with a total of about a dozen buildings, red bricks and gray walls, and many homes with dilapidated doors and windows, hung with cobwebs, and the curtains that could not see their true colors swaying weakly in the wind.

The rusty gate seemed to collapse with a little force, and the walls of the door were plastered with all kinds of small advertisements and vows left by some young lovers who went to this hidden corner to eat the forbidden fruit...

An elderly man slept on a recliner basking in the sun, looking like a doorman, and a radio about his grade was on the same dilapidated table next to him, singing Peking Opera.

The fat man stepped forward and touched the old man, and called in his ear a few times.

The old man opened his sleepy eyes, looked at the three young people, his leaky yellow teeth opened and closed, and said vaguely: "Little deflated calf, fight and go to another place, there are still people living here!" Believe it or not, I'll call the police! ”

The fat man was stunned for a moment, guessing that the old man should have misunderstood, took out a piece of Zhonghua, handed it to the old man, and said loudly: "We are not fighting, we are here to find someone, Li Shunqi, is he not at home?" ”

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

The old man's cloudy eyes lit up, and he took the cigarette with flattered hands, didn't want to smoke it, pinned it to his ears, and grinned: "Li Shunqi, yes, yes, it's in Building 10, against the mountain, he lives on the second floor, and now he is the only one left in that building, it seems that he almost died a few days ago, but he didn't die, and he said two words to me yesterday, saying that God didn't dare to accept him, and he had to live another hundred and ten miles." ”

"I'll take you there" The old man took the fat man's cigarette, extremely enthusiastic, bent over to lead the way in front, and said as he walked: "It's also strange to say, when I saw him before, he looked like he was going to enter the coffin at any time."

, Recently, it seems to be back to green, the waist is straight, even the white hair is half black, as the saying goes, old and immortal is a thief, I see, he is about to become a demon. ”

"You can't be his relatives, will you?" The old man suddenly stopped and said in fear.

The fat man waved his hand and said, "No, we are volunteers in the community, I heard that he is a long-lived old man, and we came to help him with sanitation or something." ”

The old man breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Hurry up and leave after hygiene, I have lived for decades, and my eyesight is a little deeper than that of you young people, Li Shunqi, something is wrong, that look is like a dead man, with a cold breath all over his body, he looks full of energy, but he always feels that he does not look like a living person." ”

Li Qiufan's eyes narrowed, and he said in his heart: "It seems that I have found the right person..."

When he got downstairs, the old man tried to raise his head and look at the second floor, and his voice dragged on and said: "Remember my words, come down as soon as possible, and shout loudly if you have something, I'm not far away, nothing else, but it's okay to call the police." ”

Li Qiufan gave a look, the fat man smiled knowingly, stuffed half a bag of China into the old man's arms and said, "Then thank the old man." ”

The old man groaned, and was about to say some polite words, but found that the three of them had already gone upstairs by themselves, blinked their cloudy eyes, took off the cigarette from their ears, took out a lighter and lit it, took a big puff of beauty, and then squatted down on the spot, looking up from time to time.

After entering the building, a rotten smell rushed to his nose, Li Qiufan walked in front, the fat man covered his nose and said suspiciously: "Brother Fan, take a look, is there any sneaky corpse demon or anything like that in this place?" ”

Li Qiufan said with a smile: "Everything is normal, the other party is a human, not a ghost, calm down, don't let him see the flaws." ”

The three of them slowly went upstairs and stood at the door, Li Qiufan knocked a few times.

After a while, an old but angry voice came from the room: "Who? ”

The three of them had already prepared, and after glancing at each other, they took out a temporary work card, hung it around their necks, and each person had a handbag, which looked quite like the staff of the unit.

Clearing his throat, Li Qiufan replied, "Is Mr. Li at home?" We are the staff of the Bureau of Statistics, and now we want to recount the information of the long-lived elderly, and then we will issue subsidies, we take into account that you are old and inconvenient to move, so we will come here in person. ”

"Oh, wait!" There was a murmur in the room, and after a while, the door was opened.

Li Qiufan was stunned for a moment, this person... It doesn't look like a hundred years old!

The short and thin figure is straight, the white hair has changed two-thirds of the way to jet black and shiny, the skin is sickly pale, and there are wrinkles on the face.

Bright eyes glanced at the three of them, and the corner of the old Li Shunqi's mouth pulled up a stiff arc, and he smiled: "What? Don't believe I'm over 100 years old? This is not lying to you, I have an ID card, and I will go to the civil affairs department to certify it every year, what is the subsidy you are talking about? ”

Li Qiufan quickly returned to normal and said: "When we came, we had connected with the civil affairs and the community, so I naturally believed it, but I didn't expect you to look so young, my grandfather is only in his sixties, and he doesn't have the spirit of you." After saying that, he casually withdrew and said, "The subsidy is tentatively set at five hundred and one month." ”

Li Shunqi's smile deepened, revealing a mouthful of shiny white teeth, as if his skin was too tight, and his smile was even more ugly.

"Thank you so much, I have no children and no daughters, I'm alone, and I don't have the strength to make money now, if it weren't for you, I would have starved to death... Come in. ”

The three of them entered the door sideways, it was really a one-bedroom one-bedroom room, a kitchen and a bathroom, but there was no unpleasant smell in the house, but it was filled with a strange aroma.

It's obviously broad daylight, Li Shunqi's

The house had no light at all, and the windows and leaks were blocked by a thick black cloth, all lit by an oil lamp, which looked a little eerie.

Without waiting for the three of them to ask, Li Shunqi explained: "When I was a child, I had a strange illness and didn't like strong lights, so I covered the windows and everything. ”

Li Qiufan's eyes swept over the oil lamp, his fists clenched quietly, and he immediately let go.

Li Shunqi stood at the door of the bedroom intentionally or unintentionally, pointed to the sofa and said, "Don't dislike it, just sit down, I'll pour tea for you." ”

Looking at the three strangely shaped white bowls on the coffee table, Li Qiufan's eyebrows raised slightly without a trace.

"Drink some broth, I've been up all morning to get better, blessed are you, just in time for me to eat broth today."

Li Shunqi smiled and poured the three bowls full of broth, the aroma was overflowing, and under the flickering candle flame, his face suddenly became gloomy, and the smiling face seemed to carry some kind of yin owl longing...

However, the candle flame flickered slightly, and Li Qiufan found that Li Shunqi's expression was as usual, as if what he saw just now was just dazzling.

"Taste it, it's all good, it's very fragrant!"

Li Shunqi greeted the three of them warmly, and his tone was vaguely impatient.

This doesn't need to be reminded by Li Qiufan, the fat man and Song Zihuan won't drink it if they are killed, Li Shunqi itself is weird enough, plus this house and I don't know what kind of meat is used to cook the soup, just smelling the taste, the three of them felt that their stomachs were turning upside down.

Li Qiufan smiled and declined: "We just had breakfast when we came out, and we were very full, so let's leave it to eat by yourself, we have to run to some places today, let's hurry up and register the information first, can we take off our ID card?" ”

"Hey, that's a bit of a pity, this soup is really delicious, you wait a minute, I'll go get it." Li Shunqi shook his head in disappointment, the bedroom door was only open with a crack, barely enough for him to squeeze in, and there was no light inside, so he couldn't see anything clearly.

As soon as he entered, he immediately locked the door, and then came out after more than five minutes, handed his ID card to Li Qiufan and said: "I am so old that I forgot where I put it, and it took me a while to find it." ”

Li Qiufan said that it didn't matter, then turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and shook it in the room a few times seemingly unintentionally.

To make a play, you have to do a full set, Li Qiufan carefully registered all kinds of information about Li Shunqi, and then stopped staying, got up and shook hands with him and said, "Okay, then we won't disturb your dinner." ”

Li Shunqi said with a little reluctance: "Let's sit down for a while, it's so troublesome for you, don't eat broth, drink saliva..."

"Uncle, don't you know, we have to go to several stores next! The working hours are tight and the tasks are heavy, so I don't dare to delay more! ”

"That's right, let's go, uncle, I'll come to see you again when I have time!" Li Qiufan let go of Li Shunqi's hand and prepared to go downstairs.

"It's okay to smoke a cigarette without eating or drinking, right?" Li Shunqi took out another pack of cigarettes from his pocket, issued one by one, and lit it for them as if forced.

The fat man and Song Zihuan took a puff and frowned slightly, the smell of this cigarette seemed to be a little wrong, but they couldn't say what was wrong.

Li Shunqi saw that all three of them were smoking, so he stood in the shadows of the door and waved off, the corners of his mouth grinning exaggeratedly, and his smile became more and more eerie, like a robot or a marionette.

Just as the three of them were about to disappear from his sight, Li Shunqi came out again for some reason, stood at the top of the stairs and asked, "Did Aunt Zhang in the community tell you that we moved in a centenarian surnamed Huang some time ago, it seems that he is three days older than me, will you go to him?" ”

The fat man replied casually: "Oh, Aunt Zhang, I said, let's go now." ”

Li Shunqi smiled and said, "Then goodbye." ”

"Goodbye!"
