10. Behind the prosperity

After having lunch at Lao Wen's gate, Wen Rou ignored the hot weather and went out directly to find a century-old locust tree.

Lao Wen told her that if she wanted to find the old locust tree, she had to go to the old city, so that the old house could grow the old locust tree, and the old tree in the new house had already been cut down.

Wenrou took a bus and went directly to an old town.

Behind the high-rise buildings, there is a dirty and dilapidated urban village.

Today, it's either the elderly or the tenants who live here.

Wen Rou turned around one by one, and when she met the old locust tree, she asked Douzi to confirm her age.

In the hot noon, there are few people on the street, and the most heard is the hum of the air conditioner on.

Suddenly there was shouting and ping-pong beatings around the corner.

"Hey, that...... I just came over and saw the chengguan patrolling, and it seemed to be coming this way. Wen Rou still decided to help the beaten child, very pitiful.

When the five teenagers heard this, they turned around and saw the obese Wen Rou, afraid of the chengguan who might come over, and scolded and left.

The beaten teenager crawled on the ground, curled up, holding his head still.

Wen Rou said: "Hey, are you okay?" ”

The young man seemed to have just recovered from the defensive state of being beaten, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Wen Rou, and slowly got up from the ground.

When he saw that it was an obese girl, the young man looked disgusted, ignored Wen Rou's concerned look, patted the dust on his body, and limped away.

Wen Rou asked, "Are you from the urban village here?" ”

The boy still ignored her.

Wen Rou asked again, "Do you know where there is an old locust tree?" ”

The young man turned his head and said, "Why should I tell you, dead fatty!" ”

The wretched will have something to hate.

"I know where there is an old tree, tell me, if it is the old tree I am looking for, I will pay you fifty yuan." Wen Rou said.

The young man who was limping away heard the money, and his eyes rolled: "Old tree? How big is an old tree? ”

Wen Rou said: "There are old locust trees that are more than 100 years old. ”

The young man was happy: "There is nothing else in our village, there are so many old locust trees, I will take you to see it." ”

Looking for a fifty yuan, he had the impression that there were dozens of old locust trees in the village, and ten trees were five hundred, dozens of them...... This kind of buying and selling wants.

After the young man took Wen Rou around two corners, he came to a dilapidated house, in front of which there was an old locust tree, and no one could hold it.

Wen Rou is very happy, and she really still has to hire a local snake to do things.

But the beans quickly discouraged Wen Rou, and the tree was far from being 100 years old, only 60 years old.

The young man took Wen Rou around the urban village and saw many old locust trees, but none of them reached the age of 100 years.

The young man was very impatient: "This is not it, that is not it, are you entertaining me, I have a few sweats on this hot day!" ”

Wen Rou wiped her sweat and said, "I'm also hot, I'm really looking for the old locust tree." As long as I can find a hundred-year-old locust tree, how about I pay you fifty more and give you a hundred? ”

The young man originally wanted to earn hundreds or thousands of yuan, but now he can only earn a hundred yuan, and his attitude suddenly became bad: "Do you have a hole in your TM brain?" If you don't sleep at home at noon, what old locust trees are you looking for? Lao Tzu didn't accompany him, and paid Lao Tzu 500 yuan for the noon transfer. ”

I didn't find the old locust tree, and it only took half an hour to turn around, and it cost 500 yuan, which was a robbery.

Wen Rou argued: "We said okay, find a hundred-year-old locust tree, pay you fifty yuan, and now I haven't found it, so I naturally don't have to pay you anything." ”

"You TM said that if it's not more than a hundred years, it's not more than a hundred years? These old locust trees in our village are more than 100 years old, hurry up and give money! ”

"Since I said that it is not more than a hundred years old, I naturally have my own judgment method, and I can't find it and don't give money!" Wen Rou has always been a miser, except when it comes to buying food.

"Do you want to get beaten?" The boy threatened sinisterly.

Wen Rou stepped back and said: "If you dare to hit someone, I will call the police, and now I am fighting the underworld and eliminating evil, I report you as the urban village gangster!" You, you live here anyway, you're from this village, you beat me, and the police can find you! ”

It may be that he scared the teenager by calling the police, and the cowardice and bullying in his bones made the teenager give up his decision to beat Wen Rou.

But he didn't give up: "I've been with you for a noon, so you have to give me a hundred yuan for hard work." ”

Wen Rou insisted: "Say yes, only give it if you find a tree that is more than 100 years old." ”

The young man was fierce and helpless: "Really, so dead-eyed." What are you looking for old trees for? ”

"I need to take a piece of wood from an old tree."

"Is that old wood okay?" The teenager's thinking is divergent.

"Is it locust wood? Is there a hundred years? ”

"Then how do I know, I just look old anyway."

"Where?"

"At my house."

Wen Rou hesitated, should she go, this guy is obviously not a good bird, but he is afraid of missing something.

Douzi said at this time: "Go, we already have one hundred and ten points, we can exchange an electric shock, if that guy dares to misbehave towards you, we will exchange the electric shock, electric him, an electric shock can make the subject of the electric shock fall into a coma." ”

Wen Rou was surprised: "Where did I get my twelve points?" ”

Just finished redeeming the information, and there are only 98 points left.

Douzi: "Explore the score, we have been to the places we have seen, we have written them down, and passed them to the company's database, and the database will distribute points." ”

Wen Rou was clear, but she still felt that the points could be saved: "You can only redeem them when I ask you to exchange them." ”

"Okay, Rourou."

Wen Rou followed the boy to his house.

This young man's home is the most dilapidated and low-rise house that Wen Rou has seen in the urban village for so long.

Shrinking in the innermost part of an alley, two old, narrow wooden doors, push open the door, inside is a narrow mud yard, the yard is stacked with messy things, two north rooms, low and dilapidated, the wall skin peels off, revealing the mud inside, if you don't see it with your own eyes, Wen Rou still can't believe that there are mud houses in Langshi City.

In fact, retrospectively, this was not an urban area before, but a village outside the city, and with the continuous expansion of the city, it has slowly become an urban village.

"Xiaobo, are you back?" An old voice came from the low mud house.

"Someone in your house?"

"My grandma, ignore her." The young man looked impatient, walked to the faucet in the yard, picked up a short wooden stick from a cement pool and said, "That's it, I can remember my grandmother washing clothes with it, and my grandmother said it was something left by her mother-in-law." ”
