After all, it was Huo Yu, she quickly calmed down and asked, "Are all the houses like this?" ”

The intermediary's eyes turned around the two of them a few times, and her years of experience in the industry quickly made her see that these were two shy girls.

"I would venture to ask, how much budget do you have to rent a house?"

The agent asked.

Huo Yu didn't hide it, and said directly: "We only add up to 20,000 yuan, and we haven't worked yet, so you see, what kind of house can we afford within this price?" ”

20,000 pieces....

After pondering for a moment, the agent made a few phone calls and asked.

After making the call, she said to Huo Yu and Sutina: "We do have a house here, but I don't know if you can look .....at it."

"Take us there." Huo Yu said immediately.

The intermediary girl got the key from the other intermediaries, and then took Huo Yu and Sutina through the streets of Seoul. It didn't take long for them to come to a very old neighborhood.

There are telephone poles standing everywhere next to the community, some of them are still wooden, and the crisscrossing black lines in the sky make people feel oppressive.

Sutina looked up at the wires, something she knew familiarly, but it seemed to have quietly disappeared from her memory. It wasn't until she came to Seoul that she suddenly realized that it had been a long time since she had seen such a thing as electric wires in a Chinese city.

But if wires are inevitably used to transmit electricity, where do all the domestic wires go?

"Huo Yu... That's a lot of wires. ”

Sutina whispered, pointing to the sky.

"I see it." Huo Yu said.

"Where are the wires in our country?" Sutina asked in a whisper.

Huo Yu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "It's buried underground, I remember that when I started my business before, someone turned the door to install underground cables. ”

"So..."Sutina was surprised: "You still have a career!?" ”

"Hmm." Huo Yu nodded briefly.

"Teach me, teach me!" Sutina was excited.

"Don't think about it in South Korea, it's too short." Huo Yu said.

While talking, the agent led the two to a very old residential building and walked to the vicinity of the first floor. The agent opened a door for the two of them, but when they entered, they did not see the house, only an extremely narrow staircase leading to the ground.

When the two girls saw the staircase, they were stunned for a moment.

The agent explained: "This is a semi-underground room, take a look." ”

Huo Yu and Su Tina glanced at each other, then cautiously touched the box and walked into the semi-underground household.

The basement is only about fifty square meters, a hall, a bathroom, a broken table, and gone. The floor can be littered with moldy plaque, crevices in the floor, and rodent gnawing marks on the wires along the walls.

Sutina raised her head, touched the damp ceiling with her palm, and said, "This... This... It's been a few years old. ”

"Well, it's been a few years, but I heard that in 1970, the South Korean government ordered all buildings to be built with basements to be used as shelters in case of emergencies in order to prevent North Korean attacks. Although this ordinance was later repealed, these basements remained, and as the Korean population grew, such basements began to be rented. ”

The intermediary said lightly.

But Su tina and Huo Yu shuddered a little when they looked at this room.

There was only a small window in the room, and the window was level with the floor, and you could even see the feet of the people around you, but you could only see the feet, and that's it.

An indescribable sense of humility arises.

"It's like... I've seen it in a movie, it's not a movie..."

Huo Yu frowned.

"Parasitic upper." The agent reminded her, "I love that movie." ”

"Oh, parasitic upper."

Huo Yu remembered that the movie seemed to be called a parasite again,

"In reality.... There really are... Rent this kind of place? ”

Sutina asked in a whisper. She has lived in XJ since she was a child, and she is used to seeing the endless world, and she can hardly breathe when she suddenly enters such a space.

"Yes." "There are at least 300,000 houses like this in Seoul, and they are basically full. ”

Huo Yu looked around expressionlessly and asked, "How much is such a house?" ”

"This kind of house is not expensive, 2500 a month is enough. And this kind of house has a short-term rental contract, if you want, I can apply for it. ”

Even Huo Yu couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Just this kind of basement that I don't know how many years it takes, it will cost 2500 a month??" ”

The intermediary sighed and said, "Little sister, I've told you many times, it's not China here, it's not China, there's no comparison." If you compare China to Chongqing, Chongqing is 138 times the size of Seoul, is it comparable? ”

Sutina raised her head as if she heard something strange and asked, "Is Chongqing that big?" ”

"It's not that Chongqing is big, it's just that Seoul is small."

The intermediary patiently explained: "Harbin is 88 Seoul, Kunming is 35 Seoul. BJ is 27 Seoul, Chengdu is 23 Seoul... All in all, it's good to be able to live 50 square meters for 2,500 people in Seoul. ”

Sutina was silent.

"Actually, you can't blame Seoul for being small. It's because your amount of money is too small, and now you can only live in this kind of place temporarily, and I'm also thinking about you, you can't just come here to work and not find it, just rent a room and take all your body out, right? The intermediary girl said sincerely: "Everyone is Chinese, I don't lie to you, to be honest, I also lived in this kind of house when I came to South Korea to work, it is not easy, and when you make money, it is not too late to change to a big house." ”

"Let's get here first."

Huo Yu said very calmly, "Go back and sign the contract." ”

The agent was very happy to do a business, but Su Tina's face was worried, she whispered in Huo Yu's ear: "However, this house doesn't look very safe, in case of heavy rain a day, we can't escape if we want to....."

Huo Yu shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's already October, and there is not much precipitation left." Moreover, we are just here to work, and we can live wherever we return to China after work. Besides, you can live in a cave in the Caribbean, why can't you live in a basement in Seoul? ”

Sutina didn't argue any more, but compared to the sunny Caribbean Sea, this place was simply oppressive.

Perhaps seeing Su Tina's sullenness, Huo Yu comforted: "It's true that this place is a little broken, but it's also the result of the two of us sharing some together, you think Song Wenbin is only one person, God knows where he can live." ”

......

......

At the end of the day's work, Song Wenbin sat in the store very tired. At this moment, it was already dark outside Seoul, and his fingers were aching because of his work.

The proprietress came out with the key and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

This is also a problem that Song Wenbin is very concerned about, although he slept by the flower bed of the Bank of China last night, but this is not a matter after all, he must have a place to live.

I don't know, can you give me today's salary, or I won't have a place to live. Song Wenbin said.

At this time, the boss Li Dazhong heard Song Wenbin's voice, he turned around and reprimanded loudly: "What's the matter with you kid, you have to be paid for a day, and you will be paid one day." ”

Song Wenbin said: "It's true that there is no daily settlement, but I really don't have any money on me, and I can't find a place to live when I go out." ”

Li Dazhong's face was full of suspicion: "I said, you kid is bad enough, you told me that you didn't run to South Korea for a penny, why don't I believe it?" ”

Song Wenbin was speechless, he was reluctant to tell the fact that he was filming the show, so maybe the boss would not let him shoot, but he really didn't have a penny in his pocket now.

So he looked at the proprietress for help, and the proprietress looked at him and hesitated, took out 10,000 won from her pocket and handed it to Song Wenbin, saying, "There is really no such thing as a daily settlement, you take the fifty yuan first, and I will give it to you." ”

"Hey! Stinky bitch, don't spend money lavishly! Li Dazhong shouted dissatisfiedly, "Do you know where this kid came from?" ”

The proprietress didn't say anything, but just motioned to Song Wenbin to leave quickly. Song Wenbin looked at the 10,000 won in his hand, and was a little puzzled: "Can you find a place to live in Seoul for fifty yuan?" ”

It's certainly not easy to find in a rich place. The proprietress said, "You go to the subway station to Gangnam District, go in the direction of Damu Mountain, go to Kowloon District, where there are low-cost residences, where you can rest." ”

"Stinky bitch, can't you hear me when I'm talking to you!?" Li Dazhong walked over angrily and said, "Are you coming to South Korea to do business or charity!?" ”

"Let's go, let's go!" The proprietress pushed Song Wenbin.

Song Wenbin saw that the boss was menacing and unkind, so he hurriedly escaped from Sister Li's fried noodles with Bao Fei on his back. Soon, there was an argument between the boss and the proprietress behind him.

It wasn't until he couldn't hear the quarrel that Song Wenbin slowed down and let out a long sigh. Survival is not easy, whether in Seoul or elsewhere. 10,000 won is less, but it is better than nothing.

In order to find a place to stay at night, Song Wenbin did not take the subway, and he was worried that the money would not be enough in Seoul, so he simply took a mobile phone guide and walked directly to Kowloon.

Fortunately, Seoul was not as big as he expected, and after about two hours of walking, he came to a place full of lights. All around are high-rise buildings and brightly lit. People in sports cars accosted girls on the streets, and handsome men and women in and out of the bar were well-dressed.

Song Wenbin looked at this place and looked at the 10,000 won in his hand. He has been doing outdoor live broadcasts for many years, so he naturally understands that this kind of place is a place with extremely high consumption. The proprietress won't be pit herself, is 50 won really enough in this kind of place?

Puzzled, he looked at the navigation on his mobile phone again, and now he was only about a kilometer away from his target Kowloon District.

After thinking about it, Song Wenbin still walked down the street, and after walking about seven or eight meters away, the bright lights disappeared, and they were replaced by dense telephone poles.

A faint red glow faintly glimmered in the low-slung houses along the street, and scantily clad middle-aged women sat in the shop, staring hungrily at the passing creatures, assessing the surplus value they might grab.

This place reminds Song Wenbin of some Chinese counties ten years ago, in fact, except for the occasional glitz and glamour, most of Seoul looks like a domestic county seat.

The accompanying photographer was very interested in the dirt and dirt on the side of the street, and he kept taking pictures. Song Wenbin just looked at the navigation and walked silently, looking for traces of possible accommodation as he walked.

A few hundred meters later, the traces of the county seat also disappeared.

Song Wenbin looked at the end of the navigation on his mobile phone, silently raised his head, and a shack and wooden plank appeared in front of him. Under the sporadic lights, the ground is littered with garbage. The barking of wild dogs in the distance and the desolate weeds made him wonder if he was out of Seoul.

Taking a deep breath, Song Wenbin slowly walked along the broken road to the shack in front of him, the ground was littered with honeycomb cinders and household garbage left over from incineration, and scattered gossip flags fluttered on the edge of the dilapidated shack. The shacks were even worse than what he had seen in Nigeria, where they were made of wood and mud, many of which were made of white garbage and filled with plastic bags of all kinds.

Is this place really livable?

Song Wenbin couldn't help but be suspicious, he looked back.

Not far away are the colorful high-rise buildings, and the spotlights on the roofs shine in the clouds, showing off their might.

"It's... Is this still Seoul...? He tried to ask his photographer because he really didn't believe that this was the capital of a developed country, even if it was rural North Korea.

The photographer did not answer Song Wenbin's question.

But among the weeds on the side, there was a low whimper.

"Woo... Woo..."

A few scrawny wild dogs came out of the haystack, baring their teeth at Song Wenbin, constantly threatening.

It looks like they've broken into the territory of these wild dogs.

Suddenly, without warning, a vicious wild dog barked wildly and rushed towards Song Wenbin.

Song Wenbin was frightened and ran away without hesitation.

He didn't want to get a rabies vaccine here, and now he only had fifty dollars on him.

The wild dogs barked wildly and chased Song Wenbin behind, Song Wenbin ran away in a panic with two photographers, and ran all the way back to the area where the county was located, so those wild dogs stopped chasing.

Standing near the dilapidated county seat, Song Wenbin was shocked and looked at the place where he had escaped, where there was only thick darkness and no light.
