Chapter 103: Memories Stolen by Time
The wind and snow in the sky instantly covered the figures of the two.
Maybe it was because of the embarrassing incident that appeared earlier, so the two didn't talk much along the way.
Wan Hongzhuang just dragged his luggage and walked in front, while Xiaoxue followed behind him step by step, silent, like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
"It's here!"
I don't know how long it took for the two to stop in front of a small dilapidated building.
It is an old seven-storey building with no elevator, and in some big cities, such a seven-storey building is usually given a nice name - "bungalow".
People usually have to pay a lot more expensive than the upper floors to get them.
In Yongzhou, such small buildings can be seen everywhere, which is very common.
Wan Hongzhuang rented here...... Probably because this is already on the edge of Yongzhou, the rent of a suite is not very high, even he can easily afford it.
"This is it, fourth floor."
Wan Hongzhuang pointed to a room on the fourth floor, tilted his head slightly, and said in a low voice: "Without an elevator, it may be a little difficult to walk." ”
His voice was so gentle, straight through the wind and snow, straight to Xiaoxue's ears.
"Hmm." Xiaoxue responded like a mosquito and a fly.
The night in the small town is always extremely cold, especially at this point, the whole building has long been lit without any lights, and the old walls are dappled under the light of the street lamps, which looks more like a scene from a horror novel.
Wan Hongzhuang carried the suitcase and walked cautiously to the inside of the small building, and Xiaoxue seemed to come back to her senses a little, hurriedly took a few steps forward, and grabbed the corner of Wan Hongzhuang's clothes.
"I ...... I'm afraid. ”
Wan Hongzhuang shook her head helplessly, but her pace couldn't help but slow down a little so that she could follow more closely, but there was an imperceptible smile on her face.
A slightly strange aura began to circulate between the two.
The sound of uniform footsteps began to echo in the stairwell...... It's like, a tacit understanding between the two.
……
"Da!"
In the room, the dim light suddenly turned on, making the two people who stepped from darkness to light in an instant lose their minds for a while.
Xiaoxue poked her head out from behind Wan Hongzhuang curiously, "This, this is your home?" ”
"Hmm!" Wan Hongzhuang nodded subconsciously.
That's when he began to regret his earlier offer...... A bachelor's house, how neat and tidy can you expect him to take care of every day?
There are a few pairs of shoes piled up in the doorway, and the shoe rack is here, as if it were purely for decoration...... Many of the shoes that have been changed are still stuffed with a few pairs of smelly socks that have been put for an unknown amount of time, and even many of them have begun to dry and harden......
Further on, there is a small square dining table full of boxes of leftover instant noodles.
- When the code word is late, he always wants to make something to eat, but he stays in the kitchen all day, and he really doesn't want to cook by himself anymore, so he usually uses convenience food.
Not to mention the kitchen next to it, it is simply unsightly, and the remaining two rooms have closed doors, so you can't see the scene inside for the time being.
However, as far as I can see, Xiaoxue feels that she shouldn't have too high expectations.
Wan Hongzhuang's cheeks instantly flushed, and he stammered and explained: "This, it's really been a bit busy in the past few days, so I haven't had time to sort it out......"
It's more like an explanation than a cover-up.
Even Wan Hongzhuang himself felt that the excuse he said seemed to be a bit trying to cover up.
Xiao Xue burst out laughing, glanced at Wan Hongzhuang, took the suitcase in his hand, and walked into the room first, "This, I don't even have a place to stay." ”
Wan Hongzhuang hurriedly stepped forward, kicked aside the shoes and other miscellaneous items on the side, then dragged a stool from the dining table, wiped it with his sleeve, and handed it to Xiaoxue, "You sit first, I'll sort it out a little." ”
After that, he didn't dare to look at Xiaoxue more, and hurriedly sorted it out.
After a long toss, the whole room looked a little neater, at least the garbage everywhere had been cleaned up, and some fragments of sundries were also put together.
Wan Hongzhuang breathed a long sigh of relief and sat down beside Xiaoxue, "There are two rooms, why don't you pick one at random?" ”
As he sorted out the garbage on the table, he began to think out of bounds.
Xiaoxue nodded, then stood up and walked towards one of the rooms, "Then, let me take a look first?" ”
Her tone was full of inquiry, because there were only two rooms left, one of which must have been lived by Wan Hongzhuang himself, and if she opened it rashly, she always felt ...... It's going to be a little abrupt.
"Okay, you see first."
Wan Hongzhuang was still tidying up his things, and then as if he had thought of something, he shouted anxiously: "Wait! ”
Before he could stop it, Xiaoxue had already opened the door to one of the rooms.
"It's over!"
Wan Hongzhuang's face was full of despair, and he watched Xiaoxue walk into that room step by step.
Then, Xiaoxue froze......
The messy eyes instantly filled her eyeballs, there were all kinds of clothes and pants piled up on the ground, and on the hanger on the side, there were still a few pairs of underwear that seemed to be still wet, and there was a rotten smell in the air, and it had been a long time since the window had been opened for ventilation.
And those clothes, pants, and even underwear have long been wrinkled, and they look like they have been stacked for a long time without treatment.
The quilt on the bed was not folded, but was stacked haphazardly at the foot of the bed, and the exposed part of the sheet had begun to turn yellow...... It seems that it has not been cleaned and sorted out for a long time.
At the foot of the bed, you can vaguely see a lot of paper balls scattered.
There were also a few magazines scattered there, many of the pages were already dilapidated, obviously, Wan Hongzhuang must have flipped through them often in his usual days.
It's just that these magazines seem to be a little old, and many of the pages have already begun to yellowed because of time...... Also, on their covers, you can vaguely see some patterns of scantily clad women.
- As for the content, you can imagine.
Wan Hongzhuang hurriedly ran forward, pulled Xiaoxue out, and then closed the door, "Wrong, wrong, leave this room to me!" ”
At this time, his face was flushed, and he looked at Xiaoxue timidly.
- As if the biggest secret in his heart was revealed, Wan Hongzhuang only felt uncomfortable.
Xiaoxue wrinkled her nose and cautiously took a few steps back, distancing herself from Wan Hongzhuang.
The strong smell in the room from before still lingered on the tip of her nose and did not dissipate for a long time, which also made her heart feel a little strange inexplicably.
"Let's go to this room next to it!"
Looking at Xiaoxue's face full of defense, Wan Hongzhuang became more and more embarrassed, and hurriedly stepped forward and opened another door.
"This one, this one is good."
Wan Hongzhuang couldn't wait to give himself a slap in the face, although he didn't think he could leave a good impression on others, but at least he was okay, but now, his unbearable position was so naked in front of others, even if he boasted that he was thick enough, he still felt a panic for no reason.
Xiaoxue stood beside him with a blushing face and didn't say a word.
The area of this room is not large, and Wan Hongzhuang has not opened this room much since renting this suite, so it is full of all kinds of miscellaneous items...... Fortunately, there is nothing out of the ordinary.
There was also a small bed in one corner of the room, but it was already occupied by various cardboard boxes.
Fortunately, as long as you tidy up a little bit, it should be no problem to live in people.
"You're going to settle in this room first." Wan Hongzhuang looked at her cautiously and couldn't stop looking at her eyes. Seeing that she didn't seem to have any resistance, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hmm!" Xiaoxue nodded, with a satisfied look on her face, "It's good to have a room like this." ”
"But...... Is that all? ”
"What else?"
Wan Hongzhuang looked at her puzzled, "Those boxes, I'll pack them aside later, they won't take up too much space for you, you will settle for it tonight, right?" ”
"I'll take care of that myself!" Xiaoxue looked at the empty bedboard, "Only one bed, how do you let me sleep tonight?" ”
"Oh!"
Wan Hongzhuang came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly went to the cabinet on the side to get a brand new futon, "You use this futon first, brand new, it hasn't been washed yet." ”
Xiaoxue nodded, "If you have it, I'll do the rest myself tomorrow." ”
"Only, have you forgotten something?"
"What?" Wan Hongzhuang was a little confused.
"The key!" Xiaoxue looked at him with a look of shame, "Although I know you are a good person, I always feel ...... without a key"
The air instantly began to stagnate, and there was a smell of embarrassment.
"What am I supposed to be?" Wan Hongzhuang showed a relieved expression, although he didn't know where this burden came from. He took a key from the keychain and handed it to her.
He admitted that at one moment, looking at Xiao Xuehong's fluttering face, he really ...... It's a little crooked.
"Then ...... Let's rest! Xiaoxue glanced at Wan Hongzhuang deeply, "Good night." ”
"Well, good night." Wan Hongzhuang took the initiative to exit the room.
The yellowed lamp still quietly emitted a faint light, and the room was still empty, but Wan Hongzhuang felt that his heart was abundant for no reason.
"Good night."
He muttered softly, and then went back to his room.
Perhaps it was everything he had experienced in the past two days that made him extremely tired, and as soon as he touched the pillow, he fell asleep deeply.
I don't know how long it took him to realize that he had appeared in that corridor again.
"It's!"
The endless ecstasy instantly detonated the cells in his body, and Wan Hongzhuang ran quickly in the direction he had identified without thinking.
It wasn't long before a door made up of yellowish spots of light appeared in front of him again.
"All of this turned out to be true!"
Wan Hongzhuang could no longer suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and quickly ran towards the light gate, and crossed over without hesitation.
……
"Hmmm......"
Even with his eyes closed, Wan Hongzhuang could feel the dazzling light, shooting straight on his eyelids, and his ears seemed to be able to hear the rustling sound of the leaves being driven by the warm breeze blowing.
Or that little terrace.
Everything was still the same as when he had fallen asleep, but it was as if a slight change had taken place.
Shaking off his arm that was a little numb, Wan Hongzhuang stood up blankly, everything was still the same as the previous time, extremely real.
"It's just...... What kind of dream will I experience this time? ”
Suddenly, he felt a sudden headache...... Countless unknown memories flooded into his mind like a torrent of bursting embankments, including everything that had happened since he rented this room.
It's been three months.
He came here with his luggage, settled and arranged; All his work experience during these three months; Get along with Wang Fatzi and become close friends......
And, his entrustment to Wang Fatzi:
"If you can, help me find a reliable roommate......"
All memories came to an abrupt end here.
Many seemingly clear and somewhat ambiguous images kept circling in his mind, making him feel even more headaches, and it was not until a long time passed that he gradually eased up.
At that moment, his phone rang.
Wan Hongzhuang looked at it, it was not the fat man.
"Lao Wan, there is news about the matter you entrusted me with before!"
Wan Hongzhuang's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of the memory that suddenly appeared in his mind before, "Is it a matter of looking for tenants?" ”
"That's right! I'll tell you about it, and you're going to have fun! ”
Wang Fatzi's words were full of excitement, "Later, I have a colleague who will bring the other party over, it is said that it is very beautiful!" I'll contact you when he arrives, okay, let's not talk about it, I'm going to get busy! ”
After saying that, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Wan Hongzhuang couldn't react for a while, how can this plot be a little familiar, it seems...... I just found a female tenant who shared a house today?
"I once asked the sky, and I also prayed in front of the Buddha with my palms together, exchanging my thousand years of glory and withering for a lifetime of joys and sorrows."
While he was in a daze, the phone rang again.
"Brother, I'm Xiao Liu, Brother Wang asked me to contact you, I and the guest have already arrived at your door, look, come down and open the door?"
So fast!
Wan Hongzhuang was a little stunned for a moment, but his head unconsciously poked out from the balcony.
A familiar and unfamiliar face instantly filled Wan Hongzhuang's eyes, occupying all his new house...... In his eyes, at this moment, there was no room for anything.
"Light Rain ......"
Such a name popped up in his mind in an instant.
He was completely stunned.
"Under the ever-bright lamp, I suddenly looked back, but said that the cause and effect were karma......
