A faint voice echoed through the empty room......

Even if Zhuo Jiu didn't get up, he could feel that she seemed to be still sitting there quietly, telling everything without emotion, as if she had fallen into an incomparably long dream.

"How old is Star City, slowly, even I myself began to be unsure, whether I could meet you again, perhaps, this is also a stop in your life, just a stop, and I will leave."

"Who would have thought that just when I thought everything had returned to calm, you appeared again."

Immediately, she burst out laughing, "Don't believe it or not, even I think it's a little incredible!" ”

Zhuo Jiu clenched his fists fiercely.

Indeed, if it weren't for Ai Tianya's mention, even he couldn't believe that the person he blackmailed would be the landlady......

And what made him even more unspeakable was the truth of that incident.

Because, even he was forced to get involved in that sudden turmoil, and Ai Tianya obviously misunderstood again......

At this moment, he really wanted to get up and explain immediately.

However, thinking of his current situation, he could only resist his impulse and continue to lie on the table and pretend to be dead.

"You also know that the only thing I have to do every month is to collect rent everywhere, and the workload is actually not very large, and now that technology is getting more and more developed, most of the time, I just need to use WeChat to urge it regularly, and it's basically fine."

"In the alley where you live now, there are some old neighborhoods, and I need to come to collect them in person."

"But old man, you know, it's stubborn."

"The main thing is that there is not much money, so I also thought, or I will give them free of it, but they just refuse, and they insist on giving, then I have no choice, so I have to come to the door once a month to collect it."

Zhuo Jiu was a little stunned.

He finally understood why most of the people he met in the alley were lonely old people, and from the perspective of contact, they were generally very stubborn, did not listen to persuasion, and it was difficult to communicate.

To sum up, it is not to accept the old, and to care about everything, and to compare it, especially love to be true.

Of course, after living for so long, I have never seen any children come to visit them...... It turned out that they were tenants, just like themselves.

And he is also quite proud, and a tenant with a very bottom line, like him, running for life all day long.

"There was also a delay that day, so when I came, it was already dark."

"I thought that I would forget it and come back another day, but when I thought that after so many years, those old people would basically wait for me to come to the door on this day, and after thinking about it, I didn't choose to leave."

"By the time the lap is finished, it's almost ten o'clock in the evening......"

"Yes...... That day, I was also unlucky, and it was rare to encounter someone who was blocking the road and robbing someone. ”

"Don't you want to be so bloody!"

Zhuo Jiu couldn't help but wail in his heart. What the landlady said seemed to be slightly different from what he had seen at the time.

Other words...... She misunderstood again.

"Those three were obviously drunk, and they were swaying me in the corner."

While saying the words, one of them directly pulled the bag in my hand...... Then my knee-jerk reaction must have been to fight with them. ”

After saying this, she gasped heavily, as if she was still a little afraid.

After a long pause, she continued: "It's really a subconscious move, after all, this money is nothing to me." ”

"It's just that I'm a weak woman, how can I be the opponent of the three of them?"

She paused, took another deep breath, and then her voice suddenly became excited, "At that moment, you appeared!" ”

Zhuo Jiu subconsciously showed a wry smile, yes, at that time, he "just happened" to appear again.

The problem is, he really didn't want to show up.

He has always been a very cowardly person, and his first subconscious reaction when encountering problems is usually to escape.

He hates trouble, and he is afraid of getting into trouble, especially those that may endanger his life......

Accompanied by Ai Tianya's misty voice, his thoughts couldn't help but begin to drift away, returning to the time when he first arrived in Star City......

Everything was fine in Star City, but the only thing he miscalculated was his chances of surviving in the city...... As a moonlight clan, he didn't actually have much savings, and making up his mind to come to Star City was just a whim for him.

Therefore, it wasn't until he came to Xingcheng South Station and took a little inventory that he realized that there was not much money left around him.

What to do? People still have to survive......

Therefore, how to survive in Star City became a problem that Zhuo Jiu urgently needed to consider at that time.

And it was at this moment that he met Ai Tianya.

Of course, he didn't take her to heart at that time. He only knew that the person in front of him was a beautiful woman, and he seemed to be a little unscrupulous.

——It fits his definition of a fat sheep perfectly.

The next thing, just like what Ai Tianya said before, is just that the subjective understanding of the two of them has deviated from one thing: from Zhuo Jiu's point of view, he just helped her recover the bracelet that was broken in half, and used 502 glue to help her do the so-called repair, and then successfully obtained 50 yuan from her hands of the six gods and no owner...... Oh no, pay.

- enough money for him to stay in a small hotel next to the train station for four days.

But the premise is that he doesn't complain, go to those who stumble and pass the lonely night.

For Zhuo Jiu, this was just an insignificant episode after he came to Star City: I provide services to you, and you pay me accordingly, not to mention, the amount is not very high.

But after all, it's not a glorious thing either.

Xu felt weak, so after completing the "repair" of the bracelet, he left without looking back...... It's really the meaning of wanting to run away after making a mistake.

I didn't know that when I got to Ai Tianya, it became a matter of brushing off my clothes, hiding my merit and fame.

Of course, this is also a previous story.

It's just that what happened later was even more bizarre in Zhuo Jiu's opinion.

The job in Star City wasn't easy to find, so Zhuo Jiu quickly spent all his remaining savings...... Of course, he didn't fall into despair until he slept on the street, and Lady Luck still seemed to favor him, allowing him to find a bungalow in an unknown old alley in Star City.

- It's not locked, and it doesn't seem to be inhabited.

For Zhuo Jiu, this is really a lucky thing.

Although he didn't sleep on the street in the past...... It's just that at this time, Star City, although it has not yet entered autumn, is already a little chilly after nightfall, and it is undoubtedly a gift from God for a homeless man to have an eaves that shelters from the wind and rain!

Of course, he wasn't big enough to live in his room, he just slept in the hall...... In this way, even if the owner of the house returns, he will have to explain when the time comes, no matter how pitiful or whatever.

And making a living.

Now that the problem of living has been solved, Zhuo Jiu can be regarded as a desperate gamble, using a almost scrapped shuttle bus stored in the hall to transform it into a mobile food truck and sell tofu brains.

has a "free" residence, and a seemingly fixed livelihood, plus although he is a book eunuch, there will occasionally be a part of the subscription income...... Zhuo Jiu can be regarded as barely taking root in this city.

And the alley he found was the one he lived in now...... It's just that what he doesn't know is that the room he lives in "for free" is actually an estate in Ai Tianya's name.

But no matter how you say it, it's not very glamorous...... So during that time, Zhuo Jiu could only go out early and return late as much as possible to avoid the eyes of the neighbors...... At least, the closer he is to the place where he lives, the more he can intuitively understand the movements of other residents in the alley for the first time, so that he can pick the right time to hide and go home.

- Of course, it is also based on the fact that you can make yourself appear and be as reasonable as possible.

And that time was also a period of rapid expansion of his savings. Now that the problem of housing has been solved, the only expenses he has every day are only for food, and the rest is saved if he can save it......

Zhuo Jiu vaguely remembered that it was a night, and Star City didn't know what kind of event was being held, but the business of the tofu brain stall was surprisingly good. Looking at the slowly enriching purse, his mood was also extremely excited.

It wasn't until nearly ten o'clock in the evening that he saw off the last wave of guests and pushed the cart to his temporary accommodation.

- This is just the right time, most of the old people in the alley have already fallen asleep, and there is no need to worry that there are still people wandering on the road at this point and discovering his problem.

In this way, he hummed a little song happily, and it was not until he was almost at the door of the house that he noticed that there seemed to be some faint movement ahead...... It seemed like a quarrel, and it seemed like a scuffle, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little.

He didn't know what was going on.

It's just that everything he does is not very glamorous, so he is also worried that he will be discovered, and whether it is blamed or debunked, the worst result will be that he will directly lose this rare residence.

He began to slow down his pace on his own initiative.

However, he still couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and carefully pushed the cart forward......

"At most, it's just passing by, right?"

When he got closer, he found that there were three strong men in the distance, gathered in the corner, not knowing what they were doing. It's just that the alley is dim, and for a while, he can't see very clearly.

"The world is going down!"

Zhuo Jiu's face couldn't help but show a look of disdain, and from his point of view, those big men seemed to be doing something obscene. Although he didn't have any prejudice against these weird orientations, it still made him feel creepy.

Unfortunately, the place where they stopped happened to be his "temporary residence".

This made him hesitate a little...... After such a period of time, he had already figured out the people who lived around him, and he could be sure that these people should not live in this alley.

But the embarrassing thing is ...... If they stopped him like this, he was doomed to not be able to go home smoothly.

At this moment, several faint female cries for help came into his ears, Zhuo Jiu frowned, and unconsciously took a few steps back cautiously......

At this time, he already knew that he had misunderstood.

He didn't want to get into trouble, not to mention, even if he did, he didn't think it would affect the outcome of the matter, just with his small size, it was impossible for him to be the opponent of those three big men......

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Zhuo Jiu thought silently in his heart, dragging the cart and slowly leaving backwards, "When I'm far away, I will definitely help you call the police as soon as possible." ”

It's just that what he doesn't know is that everything is going completely different from what he expected......
