hope for redemption

Jiang Xi wiped the foggy mirror with the palm of his hand a few times, looked at the face in the mirror, and the bruises in front of him had basically disappeared. He slept for about a day. From yesterday afternoon to this afternoon, two The sleep time that has not been slept for days has also been made up.

Pulling the cashmere bath towel I brought on the hook, I wrapped it casually and walked out of the bathroom.

Jiang Xi never used the toiletries in hotels and hotels, who knows what the last person who used them did with them, not to mention living in Australia for so many years, except for the cashmere there, other Jiang Xi didn't use them smoothly.

Jiang Xi sat by the bed, turned on the phone and saw two unread text messages.

一条显示着江天成9月20日9时27分向您尾号5717的储蓄卡账户手机转账收入人民币10000.00元，活期余额29380.00[建设银行]

另一条显示着海外账户江徐9月20日13时06分向您尾号5717的储蓄卡账户海外银行转账收入人民币300000.00，活期余额329380.00[建设银行]

Not a word, just two cold transfer messages.

Heh, the Jiang family have a cold nature.

Jiang Xi turned off the screen, threw the phone casually on the bed, and casually fell back, her undried black hair collided with the soft mattress and splashed water droplets on the white sheets.

The sun shines through the glass on Jiang Xi's pink chest. Jiang Xi has a good figure, but her frame is slightly small. Even if she had muscles before, she still looked slender, not to mention her body after losing nearly ten catties. It looks a little thinner, and the slender waist makes people feel distressed.

Raise your arms to block the glare of the sun.

What are you going to do next?I booked the hotel for a week by myself. If I don’t live with my mother, if I don’t live in the dormitory, I have to find a house by myself.I still have more than 30 yuan in my hand now, no matter how much trouble I have in high school for two years, it is enough.

Jiang Xi thought about the next plan in his mind, the most urgent thing is to find a good place to stay.

Goo—the stomach groaned.

No, the first priority should be to fill your stomach.

Jiang Xi drew the curtains, found underwear from the box, a T-shirt with dark blue polka dots on a white base, and a pair of fruit green slacks with tight feet and put them on.Put on a pair of white boat socks and step into the zebra's canvas shoes, hook the back of the shoes with your fingers and put them on.Dry your hair casually with the hotel's hair dryer, take your mobile phone and Bluetooth headset, withdraw your room card and go out.

While walking, connect the mobile phone to the Bluetooth headset, put the Bluetooth headset in the ear, open the playlist and start playing songs.

Sukana's random song is very appetizing, the tune is relaxing, and the voice is sinking.

After the elevator reached the ground floor, Jiang Xi found the restaurant according to the sign hanging above his head. There were basically no customers in the restaurant in the afternoon, and a few aunts in white restaurant uniforms sat lazily on the chairs, speaking in their native dialect gossip.

Jiang Xi looked up at the menu and was speechless.

All powder.

Braised beef noodles, fungus pork noodles, mustard pork noodles...

It's your choice.

Jiang Xi knows that his hometown is famous for its vermicelli, and the first thing every person who leaves his hometown returns to his hometown is a bowl of authentic beef vermicelli, but he really doesn't want to eat vermicelli right now.

But Jiang Xi felt that he should have no life to live until he found what he wanted to eat. After all, he was a real person who only ate one sweet potato pancake for three days, oh, he hadn't finished it yet.

Jiang Xi sighed, ordered a bowl of fungus pork shredded noodles that he thought should be light, paid the money, took the number plate, and found a place to make it.Put the number plate on the table, take out a pair of disposable chopsticks from the chopstick holder, and carefully scrape off the barbs on the chopsticks.

After a while, the waiter brought up the powder and removed the number plate.

Jiang Xi looked at the fans in front of him and was speechless for a while.

There was a layer of yellowed fat floating on the surface of the soup, which made Jiang Xi lose most of his appetite. Jiang Xi really couldn't understand why the soup with fungus shredded pork could have so much oil.

Sighing in my heart, I picked up the chopsticks and mixed the rice noodles resignedly, and then took a mouthful.Yes, that's right, it's a mouthful, not a bite.

Rice noodles that are eaten without fuss are rice noodles without a soul.

Who said this?Jiang Xi thought while rambling, oh, she said it.

Oh, it's her again, how many traces has she left in my life?

Thinking of that person's own nose with some inexplicable pantothenic acid, his heart throbbed a little.

The transfer information of 30 yuan in the morning flashed before his eyes again. Jiang Xi made a mental calculation while talking about fans.

"Fuck!" Jiang Xi shook his chopsticks and rubbed his hair irritably: "I don't understand, I don't care about it."

Suppressing the tumbling emotions, he took his mobile phone and room card and left the hotel.

The sun is scorching hot, and standing by the street, you can still vaguely see the heat waves tumbling in the air.

After hailing a taxi, Jiang Xi got into the car and the driver turned around and asked, "Where is the handsome guy going?"

"High school" Jiang Xi replied without looking up at the phone.

"That high school? No. [-] middle school, No. [-] middle school or vocational middle school?"

"?" Jiang Xi was a little stunned by the driver's question. She only wanted to rent a house closer to the school, but forgot that she didn't even know which school she was going to.

"Wait a minute, uncle, let me call and ask."

"Okay, hurry up, no parking is allowed here."

Jiang Xi originally planned to send a message to ask, but after hearing this, he finally changed to make a phone call.After a while the call was connected.

"Hello, Jiang Xi?" Mom was very quiet, probably at work.

"Well, it's me, mom, which school are you going to transfer me to?"

"One China"

"Okay, I see, goodbye mom."

"Goodbye"

The phone was hung up without any extra greetings.

"Go to Master No. [-] Middle School," Jiang Xi said to the driver master.

The vehicle starts.

"Young man, are you going to No. [-] Middle School to see your younger siblings?" the driver asked in his native dialect.

younger siblings?This word made Jiang Xi a little dazed, and suddenly realized that he was no longer the only child in the family. His father had a younger brother, and his mother had a younger sister.

No wonder, no wonder.

No wonder they were able to sell me so easily.

Jiang Xi raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically, "No, I went to see the house."

"Ah? Go to the No. [-] Middle School to look at the houses? It's hard to find houses over there now (now)! It's all school now! The summer vacation houses are all rented out (out)!"

"It's okay, just take a look." Jiang Xi could understand, but he couldn't answer in his native dialect, which seemed a bit out of place.

"Why don't I send you to Qingnian Road, the newly built one goes directly to No. [-] Middle School, and there should be unrented houses in Wuli (there)." The driver suggested to Jiang Xi while driving: "I won't charge you more, I won't charge you more money as a student."

Jiang Xi thought about it and thought this method would work, so he said to the driver: "Okay, thank you, master."

"Haha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter (it's okay). You can just patronize my business more in the future. Come on handsome guy, add a WeChat friend and you can send me a message or call me on WeChat if you need it." The driver said while holding a free hand He took out a WeChat QR code business card from under the radio box and handed it to himself.

Jiang Xi opened WeChat, which was registered by a passenger on the same plane who got a new mobile phone the day before returning to China.no friends.

After scanning the QR code, pressing the add friend request, he returned the business card to the driver.

After a while, the friend application was approved. Jiang Xi frowned and watched the driver playing with his mobile phone while driving, wondering if this is not the case in China now?But still refrained from saying.

Unexpectedly, my first WeChat friend turned out to be a taxi driver whom I had known for less than 5 minutes.

Kind of funny.

"Hey, No. [-] Middle School is five miles away." The driver slowed down when passing the No. [-] Middle School entrance, reminding Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi raised his eyes and looked out the window. There was a freely retractable iron fence at the door, and there were security rooms on both sides. Through the glass, he could also see a full screen of monitor screens.Linxian No. [-] Middle School has a hollowed-out signboard with a few words installed on the lintel.Next to the school gate is a piece of marble with the words Linxian No. [-] Middle School engraved in running script. The inside is filled with red paint, which looks sacred and solemn under the sunlight.

Turn left from the entrance of No. [-] Middle School and go straight to a newly built road, with houses of different heights beside the road.

"All the houses in Shuili (here) should be rented out. Look ahead, there is an intersection in Wuli, and after the intersection is Youth Road," the driver said that it was not enough, and he had to spare a hand to touch the window. Pointing at the window. "You don't want to rent a house next to No. 5 Middle School. It's not worth the money between me and you. It's expensive and poor! You might as well go to Qingnian Road to rent. Although there is Didiyuan, which is within the scope of the middle school, the houses are all new. It’s repaired, and the price is cheap, you can ride a bicycle and go to No. [-] Middle School in [-] minutes!”

"Okay, I see, thank you master." Jiang Xi responded politely, Jiang Xi has always been unable to deal with this kind of kindness.

"Okay, here we are, five yuan."

Jiang Xi scanned the QR code and got out of the car. The driver put herself right at the intersection. Jiang Xi was annoyed as she walked out why she didn't wear a hat or an umbrella when she came out. The sun is so poisonous. The skin tingles a bit.

I am still too confident in myself. I thought that after being poisoned by the sun in Tuao, I would be invincible. I didn’t expect that the sunshine in the southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere are not at the same level. I don’t know if I will get tanned. Anyway, in Tuao Australia can't get tanned no matter what.

Jiang Xi pulled the hair tie around her wrist to tie her hair, and checked whether there was any rental information.Surrounded by four or five-story buildings, there are several warehouses.It's very quiet, unlike the hustle and bustle of people at Swan Lake.Jiang Xi is quite satisfied with this.

Jiang Xi saw a building with white-painted tiles on the outside, and there was a rental information posted: three bedrooms, one living room, two bedrooms, one living room, net collar and package. Interested parties contact: 137XXXXXXXX

After thinking about it, he made a call. Jiang Xi was going to take a look at the two-bedroom, one-living room, and learn more about the housing prices here.

The phone was dialed, and a woman answered: "Hello? Which one?" The noisy mahjong sound from the phone made Jiang Xi frowned, worried that the house would not be too quiet.

"Do you have a house to rent out?" Jiang Xi was still going to check it out.

"Ah! Renting a house! Where are you?" The woman asked while rubbing mahjong, and the sound of mahjong colliding on the phone made Jiang Xi feel a little annoyed.

"In front of your house."

"If you want, just wait, I'll come down and open the door for you right away."

After a while, there was the sound of thumping footsteps, and the iron door opened with a click.

A woman wearing revealing suspenders, wearing pink eyeshadow and flip-flops stood in front of Jiang Xi, looked him up and down and asked, "A renter?"

Jiang Xi was a little disgusted at such unabashed sizing, but nodded calmly.

The woman raised her eyebrows, her voice was intentionally sweet, and she said with a smile, "Hey, he's quite handsome, what type of apartment do you want?"

"Two bedrooms and one living room" Jiang Xi felt a little disgusted by this kind of thing, but she still wanted to see the house first. As for the other things, she could probably guess what she was thinking, so she put aside the things she was sure she could deal with .

"Do you live alone?" The woman pushed back her hair, turned and walked into the house. The smell of cheap perfume pierced the nostrils and made people want to sneeze.Because the woman waved her hands a little too much, Jiang Xi could still see the hair under her armpits.

The double impact of smell and vision made Jiang Xi's nausea continued to rise, and he regretted making this call.

"With mother" Jiang Xi barely suppressed the physical discomfort, frowned, swallowed and replied, the impatience in Taohua's eyes was already revealed, and the corners of his mouth were already pursed into a line.

"Then why doesn't your mother come to see it with you? Let a child come?" The woman didn't notice Jiang Xi's face at all, and went upstairs with her buttocks twisting in front.

"Busy" Jiang Xi was very impatient at being asked, and managed to hold back his anger to answer with a single syllable.

On the second floor, the woman stopped suddenly, turned around and approached Jiang Xi, hooking her finger on Jiang Xi's collar pretentiously: "Little friend, can you hear my sister talking with earphones?" This action, this scene, this Atmosphere, as long as a man definitely understands what this hint means, and the person in front of him ignores some small details and only looks at his face and figure, it will still arouse the desire of some men.

But Jiang Xi is not "some men", first of all the gender is wrong.

Jiang Xi immediately took a step back, moved to the side, and said in a cold voice, "I can hear you."

Seeing this, the woman raised her eyebrows, sneered, turned around, took out the key and opened the door.

As soon as the door was opened, a pungent smell similar to gasoline rushed into his nostrils. Jiang Xi subconsciously covered his nose. Before stepping into the room, he stood at the door and glanced roughly. You can see the kitchen, black oil stains are all over the wall, and there are unknown strips of dark yellow marks on the range hood.

This kitchen alone is enough for Jiang Xi to pass this house.

"How much is the rent for this room?" But in order to understand the housing price here, Jiang Xi still asked.

"My house here is a bit sloppy, but it's okay to clean it a little bit. Originally, I rented it to other people for 1500 a month, but you are a child~ How about 1000 a month?" The woman leaned against the door and turned her fingers. Holding the key ring, he said to Jiang Xi with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, I will consider it." Jiang Xi said politely, then turned and left.

"Hey~ little friend" the woman immediately came over and grabbed Jiang Xi's arm, and said eagerly: "If you think about it, add a WeChat, and let me know when you think about it~"

The sticky feeling came through the arm, Jiang Xi immediately shook off the woman's hand, and said with some disgust: "No need." Then he ran downstairs quickly.After walking out of the building, the sticky feeling on her arms still did not disappear. Jiang Xi picked up the hem of her clothes and wiped her arms over and over again, trying to get rid of the sticky feeling.

It feels better when I rub it until my arms are red.

Since going to Australia, Jiang Xi has always been disgusted by the undisguised desires of the men and women he met in the business field. He thought it would be better in China, but he did not expect to meet him as soon as he returned to China.

After calming down for a while, Jiang Xi decided to continue, at least to finish reading this street. Jiang Xi is never a person who gives up halfway. Since it has started, there must be an end. Everything must have a beginning and an end. This is Jiang Xi's minimum requirement for himself.

17:37

Jiang Xi was holding a plastic cup and sipping ice water while turning on his phone to check the time.He just looked at a few more, but he was not too satisfied, but he had a good understanding of the housing prices here.

Ordinary one bedroom and one living room cost about 1000 a month, and two bedrooms and one living room cost 1500 a month. Jiang Xi really didn't expect that the house price here would be so cheap at the beginning, and there are advantages to being farther away.

When she saw the last family, the mother-in-law of that family even filled Jiang Xi with some ice water.

Jiang Xi had almost come to the end of the road, and the Bluetooth headset was out of battery.

But Jiang Xi didn't take it off, so that he felt an inexplicable sense of security walking alone on the street.

Jiang Xi raised his head to look at the sun, the sun was already westward and covered by the black-gray clouds, and the orange-yellow sunlight splashed out from the gaps in the clouds one after another.

Suddenly Jiang Xi noticed the blue-colored house in front, and the exposed concrete wall on one side was spray-painted with a room for rent, please contact 186XXXXXX in big characters.

With a plastic water cup in his mouth, Jiang Xi leaned on the white pole in front of the house to call the phone number on the wall. After the phone beeped a few times, an old woman's voice came through the phone: "Hi, you OK, who?"

"Hi, hello, I saw your rental information and called, and I came to see the house." Hearing the old woman's gentle voice, Jiang Xi suddenly thought of his grandmother, the relative who loved him forever.Unconsciously, half of the anger in my heart went down, my voice softened, and my words became more polite.

"Oh, look at the house, where are you?"

"It's right here on the utility pole in front of your house."

"Okay, then wait a moment."

"Nooo~I don't need your wingsstofly..."

The ringtone pierced through the dark and opaque house, and the vibration of the mobile phone was transmitted to Lin Wang's ears through the spring bed. Lin Wang frowned and opened his eyes impatiently from the soft pillow, and slid the answer button. Dumb: "Hello?"

"Hello? Take a look? Have you woken up yet?" Granny Du's voice came from the earpiece to the eardrum along with the chug of knitting needles.

Lin Wang turned over and squeezed the Jiming acupoint with his fingers to try to relieve the headache caused by the hangover: "It's about to wake up, what's wrong?"

He reached out to turn off the air conditioner, but the whole person was still stuck on the bed, motionless.

"Just coax me, old lady." Granny Du cut the thread with scissors and scolded: "Someone came to see the house, and they are waiting downstairs. Go down and help me to see the house. I can't leave here. The price is up to you, anyway, you won’t let your own people suffer.”

Lin Wang laughed and stood up after hearing this: "Hey! You old lady is so shameless, why are you my own family?"

The light gray silk quilt slipped off her body, revealing her wheat-colored skin, her eight-pack abs, plump muscles, and perfect body proportions, showing the charm of male hormones everywhere.

"You are shameless! You little bastard! Hurry up, people are waiting at the telegraph pole. It's sunny outside, so don't let people wait too long." The old lady scolded while laughing.

"Okay, I'm sure I'll entertain people so obediently that it won't block your old lady's way of making money." After Lin Wang finished speaking, he hung up the phone, stretched out his hand to open the blackout curtain, and pushed open the glass window to ventilate.Natural light rushes in, illuminating the entire room.

The decoration of the room is a bit of a construction site style, with a black iron frame bed, a four-piece light gray bed with a light gray carpet, and a silver gray shelf directly on the wall to hang clothes. The only thing that is a bit awkward is the bookcase on that wall , there is also a retractable staircase next to it.There is a small round table in the room, a lazy sofa is placed beside it, and several empty beer bottles are placed on the table.

Lin Wang rubbed his head, the freshly shaved cut was a bit thorny.

Pulling a few clothes from the hanger, he opened the door and rushed to the bathroom, wiped his face with water, took a mouthful of mouthwash, and began to put on his clothes. When putting on his coat, he put his face inside his T-shirt One touch and the face is dry.

After spitting out the mouthwash, Lin Wang pulled his trouser belt with one hand, grabbed the phone with the other, and walked downstairs.

Lin Wang went to the bottom of the building, unlocked the iron door, and saw a boy squatting on the side under the electric pole in front of the door, shaking his head and shaking the little Jiujiu on his head, laughing silly at his shadow.

This is not a fool.Lin Wang thought to himself.
