Can't Save the World by Pretending to be Dead

When people are lucky, they can't stop it.

The real culprit of the "Sioux City 2.07 extravagant burglary and homicide case" was caught, and the leaders of Suzhou City and the central cadres once again paid attention to this small fan factory dormitory building.After thinking about it, the leaders of the factory decided not to demolish it for the time being, and immediately moved the demolition time to September.

Lianxi's demolition funds came in July.

Waking up early in the morning, Lian Xi turned on his phone while brushing his teeth. Suddenly, a bank transfer text message popped up——

【工商银行】您尾号8816的帐号于07月17日08时32分收到由工商银行汇入的1363000.00元，余额1381534.00元，摘要：苏城市吴南区康平小区拆迁补偿款。

"!!!"

I see through! ! !

"Cough, cough, cough..." Surprised, he coughed violently, and Lian Xi almost choked on toothpaste foam.

As soon as the demolition money was paid on the card, Lian Xi received a call from the neighborhood committee half an hour later.

"Hey, Lian Xi from Building 2, 302, right? The demolition payment has been received, right?"

"Yes, I got it."

"Okay, we have also received a feedback form from the bank here. Come to the neighborhood committee in the afternoon and sign again to confirm that you have received the demolition payment."

Lian Xi immediately agreed: "Okay!"

Lian Xi didn't remember until he hung up the phone, he didn't ask what time to go in the afternoon.But he didn't call to ask again, just in time, he could go back to the old house and pack up his things.

At noon, Lian Xi took the bus to Kangping Community.

Kangping Community is an old community in the 80s. It is located in the remote Wunan District, surrounded by a bus station.It will take 10 minutes to walk from the bus station to the community.

As soon as Lian Xi got off the bus, there was an energetic voice behind him: "Xiao Lian?!"

He looked back: "Uncle Li!"

I saw Uncle Li getting off a bus behind him carrying two snakeskin bags.

Uncle Li came up and said with a smile, "You still know how to come back?"

Lian Xi smiled and nodded, but didn't know what to say.

After my grandfather passed away these years, there are no relatives in the family, only Uncle Li occasionally visits him in the orphanage.Uncle Li has two sons to raise in his family, so it is impossible to really take care of his neighbor.But his kindness was accepted by Xi, but it was a long time since I saw him, and Xi was not good at words, so he didn't know what to say for a while.

Uncle Li glanced at him up and down: "It's the same as when I was a child, I don't like to talk! I really look like your mother. Let's go, let's go back to our house together."

Entering the Kangping community, you can see the trucks of the moving company everywhere.

By this time, half of the owners have already moved out, and the remaining half will move out in a few days.

There are many waste collectors in the community. They are sitting by the flower bed, staring at the business with shrewd eyes.Once someone yelled "recycling waste", they rushed forward.

The favorite of waste collectors is this kind of demolition community.

Just received a large amount of demolition fees, and became rich overnight, everyone is stepping on the clouds, fluttering, and their faces are full of joy.Moving will definitely produce waste products, especially old furniture. If you don’t have money, it’s fine, but if you have money, it’s not pleasing to the eye.At this time, they are called to collect waste products, and they only need to say a few words enviously, "Oh, you are still lucky, how much will it cost for demolition!", and they can usually get a bloody price.

If you meet someone who is more generous, it is possible to give them old furniture and electrical appliances directly!

As the two were walking, a waste collector came up to him: "Little handsome guy, Gong Xi Fa Cai. Do you want to collect waste at home?"

Uncle Li: "It's all over, it's gone!"

The waste collector walked away with a face full of disappointment.

Uncle Li said to Lian Xi: "Don't bother with them, their prices are always low. I know a friend, I will call him later and ask him to help you collect the scraps. Ah yes, I haven't asked yet, Xiao Lian, Do you still have those old furniture in your house?"

Lian Xi: "No, thank you, Uncle Li."

"Oh, I'm an old neighbor, thank you."

Go home.

As soon as the door was opened, the dusty smell of the room that had not been ventilated for a long time rushed into the nostrils immediately.

Lian Xi coughed twice, and looked at the old furniture that had been wrapped in white cloth long ago.

Uncle Li has the keys to Lian Xi's house, and occasionally helps to clean it, but since the community was determined to be demolished, he is too busy with his own family affairs, let alone helping Lian Xi's house with cleaning.After two months, a lot of dust has accumulated on the ground.

Lian Xi opened the doors and windows for ventilation.

He packed it up in the house.

Old furniture and old electrical appliances must be gone. He picked out some old books and took them away.

He asked Uncle Li just now, and he went to the neighborhood committee to sign at two o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still an hour left.Uncle Li's side has almost cleaned up, and there is no need for Lianxi's help.Bored, after playing with the phone for a while, Lian Xi opened an old book and started to read casually.

This is an 82 version of "Dream of Red Mansions".

Lian Xi remembered that his grandfather always liked to sit on the balcony, wearing reading glasses, flipping through this book over and over again.

He turned the pages of the book calmly, and turned to the middle page. Suddenly, a photo fell out.

It's a wedding photo.

The short-haired man is wearing a brown suit, and the beautiful woman with the most fashionable long curly hair is wearing a red cheongsam.The two looked at the camera excitedly, showing happy smiles.

...It's his parents' wedding photo.

Unexpectedly, he found this photo here, so Lian Xi picked it up and looked at it for a long time.

"Do I look like my mother?"

It's nothing like it!

Just as he was thinking, suddenly, two slow footsteps came from the stairs outside the door.

Lian Xi was sitting by the door flipping through books, the smell of dust in the room was too strong, he could feel more comfortable sitting by the door.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up and saw a middle-aged woman and a young pregnant woman.

The pregnant woman waved a small fan with an advertisement printed on it, and complained: "Mom, why are we here? I'm so hot. Just let Zhang Hao come over to sign, you have to let me come over."

Middle-aged woman: "Nonsense! What do you know! This is our house. If you ask Zhang Hao to sign, does the house belong to you or to him?"

"Isn't the money already on my bank card?"

"Then you have to sign it! Otherwise, the bank will say in the future that what Zhang Hao signed is Zhang Hao's, what should I do?"

"Mom!" The pregnant woman rolled her eyes at her mother who was supporting her, she was speechless, when she raised her head, her eyes happened to meet Lian Xi.

The pregnant woman froze for a moment and stopped.

The middle-aged woman on the side followed her gaze: "You belong to... 302, are you Lianxi?"

After a moment of silence, Lian Xi nodded.

The middle-aged woman's face turned blue and white, and her tone was displeased: "Are you back?"

The pregnant woman looked at Lian Xi several times curiously, and asked, "Mom, who is this little brother, do you know him?"

The middle-aged woman leaned closer to her ear: "It's Lao Lian's family who lives downstairs from our house, their grandson. You played with him when you were young."

"True or false? I don't have any impression."

"His parents were killed by him, and then Lao Lian was also killed by him. All the family members died, so he was sent to the orphanage. You are still young, so you don't remember!"

The pregnant woman muttered: "It must be because he was not good-looking when he was a child. I will definitely remember how he looks like now."

The voices of the two were not too loud, and Lian Xi probably heard half of it.

Although I didn't hear the whole thing, I thought I could understand what the middle-aged woman was talking about.

The middle-aged woman stretched out her arms to block the pregnant woman's belly, preventing her from leaving.She pulled out a smile, and said falsely: "Lianxi, why don't you sit in, why don't you sit outside."

Lian Xi looked up at the door frame, and said calmly, "I'm sitting inside the door."

"Sit inside again."

"..."

Pulling up the small bench, Lian Xi sat down on the stairs, in front of his own door, expressionless.

The middle-aged woman immediately exploded: "Are you out of your mind? My girl is just pregnant. Are you blocking my way here to kill my grandson?"

Uncle Li hurried out when he heard the yelling: "What's the matter, what's the matter. Isn't this Aunt Wang, and Xiao Li. What's the matter with you?"

Aunt Wang rolled up her sharp little eyes: "Oh, what's the matter, look at this mourner. He won't let us go upstairs!"

Lian Xi's voice was quiet: "I'm not blocking the stairs, I'm just sitting at the door of my house."

Aunt Wang: "Hey, is it reasonable for you to occupy public space?"

The pregnant woman at the side felt ashamed of her, and held her back: "Okay, mom, what are you doing, no one is blocking the way, let's go up."

Aunt Wang: "He killed the whole family, aren't you afraid that he killed your son?"

"Can you stop being so superstitious!"

"You know what to do! Little Chi, get out of the way and go back to your house!"

Lian Xi glanced at her, then continued to look down at the book.

Aunt Wang was furious and cursed again.

Uncle Li has one head and two big ones, and he doesn't know how to fight.

Seeing that Aunt Wang's scolding was about to call other neighbors over, her daughter couldn't bear it anymore.

"You are not ashamed!"

As he spoke, he took his mother's arm and dragged her upstairs.When they came to Lian Xi's side, Lian Xi looked up at them, then silently pulled up a small stool and sat inside the door.This time, he even sat further in than before, far away from those two people.

Aunt Wang's mother and daughter were arguing and complaining to each other, so they didn't notice his behavior.

After they left, Uncle Li came over and said helplessly, "Xiao Lian, why did you sit back again?"

Lian Xi closed the book "A Dream of Red Mansions".

He didn't even look at it a few times, and kept flipping through the first time, revealing that line of words——

"The paper is full of absurd words, a handful of bitter tears. 』

Lian Xi: "It's nothing, I'm afraid of killing them."

Uncle Li: "Hey! What are you talking about?"

Lian Xi smiled: "No, I'm serious."

Uncle Li looked into the bright and clear eyes of the young man, his lips parted, and in the end he just let out a heavy sigh.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lian Xi and Uncle Li went to the neighborhood committee to sign in line together, and ran into the mother and daughter again.The two seemed to have stopped arguing. The pregnant woman was wearing sunglasses and fanning herself irritably.Aunt Wang handed her water.

One looked up and found that Lian Xi and Uncle Li were looking at him.

Aunt Wang sneered, and muttered, "Little red guy!"

However, she didn't realize that what Lian Xi was looking at was actually not her, but the daughter beside her.

Or rather, her daughter's slightly protruding belly.

Uncle Li: "Xiao Lian, what are you looking at?"

Lian Xi came back to his senses: "Uncle Li, do you know how long Aunt Wang's daughter is pregnant?"

Uncle Li: "Let's think about it... like two or three months? I can't remember clearly, but it was before the demolition."

Two or three months...

Lian Xi pondered for a while.He took out his mobile phone and searched for the time when pregnant women are prone to tire slippage.

"The first three months are a dangerous period. 』

He raised his head and looked at the pregnant woman's belly again.

Lian Xi looked at the trace of black air that seemed to be entwined around her stomach, thoughtfully.

When the mother and daughter went upstairs just now, Aunt Wang kept protecting her daughter, not letting Lian Xi get close, let alone seeing her belly clearly.He also didn't know whether this trace of black air was there from the beginning, or just now.

This kind of black gas is rare, and Lian Xi has only seen it in pregnant women with miscarriage or stillbirth.

Without exception, the children of these pregnant women must have lost their lives.

If it was just now...

Maybe just like what Aunt Wang said, he is really a loser.

"Building 2! The owners of building 2 come and line up to sign!"

A group of people rushed over.

***

After signing, Lian Xi and Uncle Li walked to the bus station together.

"Xiao Lian, what are you going to use for the demolition money?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, how about you?"

"Haha, I've made up my mind. My two sons are living well in the city. They take care of each other, so I don't need to worry about it. I'll take the money back to my hometown and build a three-story villa! Uncle has to persuade you Well, more than 100 million seems like a lot, but we can't buy any good houses in Sioux City, so don't really think that you have money, just spend it recklessly, you understand?"

"I know, thank you Uncle Li."

"Okay, then I'll go first."

When I walked to the bus stop, the bus happened to be coming. Uncle Li walked up and said, "We will keep in touch in the future!"

Lian Xi waved his hand: "Yes!"

Of course Lian Xi never thought about buying a house.

The housing prices in Sioux City are getting higher day by day, and real estate agents all over Sioux City are saying every day: "Hurry up and buy a house, it will go up tomorrow!"

This is said, who doesn't want to buy a house if you can buy a house, the problem is that you have to afford it!

More than 100 million. In Sioux City, you can buy a commercial apartment at most. There are more than 20 households on one floor. The seller has to pay [-]% of the tax, and it is still commercial water and electricity.

He had already looked for a house on the rental app.

Still a haunted house!

Early the next morning, Lian Xi contacted the moving company, worked hard all day, and finally cleaned up.

The real estate agent who rented the house wore a small suit and helped clean it up for a long time.

Lian Xi brought her a bottle of water: "If you are a real estate agency, will you help people move?"

The real estate agent was a young girl who just came out of work, named Xiao Liu. She took the water and thanked her, a little embarrassed: "Well, no. My colleagues have never helped tenants move, and I have never done this before. But you..." She stammered for a long time before continuing: "Do you really want to rent this house?" After finishing speaking, she laughed to herself: "No, we have moved, so we must rent it. That's right. About the agency fee..."

Lian Xi thought for a while: "You helped me move because of the agency fee?"

Xiao Liu was not polite, scratched his short hair, and said directly: "Rent this kind of house out, please feel at ease, and I will help you move. Otherwise, I will charge the agency fee, so I don't feel at ease! But this time the agency It's enough to charge you five hundred, just five hundred."

Lian Xi: "The rent is [-]. According to the rules, you should pay half of it, [-]."

Xiao Liu: "It's okay, apart from you, this house has been rented for two years, let alone rented, and no one even looks at it! It's only five hundred."

Lian Xi looked at her hair that was wet with sweat and stuck to her forehead, without saying a word, she turned five hundred in silence.

After the little girl left, he called Alipay for another three hundred.

Xiao Liu immediately called back: "I can't accept the three hundred!"

"It's okay, this is the rule of your real estate agency. I have rented a house and know it."

"Ah, you, I really can't accept it."

"I have something to do, hang up first."

"Mr. Lian, you..."

Lian Xi quickly hung up the phone.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Communicating with people is really troublesome!

Lian Xi was thinking that he had escaped a catastrophe, when suddenly, the phone rang again, and he looked down, it was still Xiao Liu!

Hang up now!

After hanging up on the phone three times in a row, Xiao Liu kept calling.Lian Xi only felt his scalp tingling, and finally answered the fourth call: "It's only 300 yuan, it's really okay, you helped me move very hard, I think it's okay. Don't call, I'll hang up!"

"and many more!"

A light and crisp male voice came from the phone, and Lian Xi's hand that hung up the phone stopped suddenly.

He looks at the phone screen.

Unknown call?

The man on the phone chuckled and said, "Excuse me, is this the anchor 'Liancheng' of the Douya live broadcast platform? Hello, I am the Super Manager of the Gem Guild, and my ID is Wandering. You can log in to the Douya live broadcast now to watch Just now, I just sent you a private message using the super management account. I'm not a liar."

The author has something to say:

CC: I forgot if you didn’t tell me, I’m still an anchor...

Readers: In fact, we probably forgot too...

Fuwa: Be more confident, leave the word "probably" out.
