Chapter 84 Fifth Floor 404
It snowed yesterday, and today the snow on the road has almost melted. The temperature dropped at night, and all the melted snow turned into ice. Under the reflection of the street lights, the ground shone like a mirror.
Warm up the car for a while, then slowly drive onto the road. Applying the brakes lightly will activate the ABS, so you can only go forward about 20 miles, otherwise the braking distance will be difficult to control.
The car was very slow and the distance was a bit far. The two of them were bored. Apart from smoking, they just talked nonsense.
"Third uncle, I actually feel a little different. There is a smell of incense in this car. Does third aunt often use incense?"
"Oh, you're telling me this, your third aunt is just a amateur, she only burns incense and chants sutras, but doesn't care about anything."
"Why don't you look at it? If Third Auntie looked after people, you wouldn't be so poor. It is said that people can make money quickly by looking after people."
"I don't know. It's said that I'm afraid of karma or something. I feel like I just have to work hard to make money and feel confident."
"Well, Third Uncle, don't you feel bad when you can't afford good cigarettes?"
Cai Gen knew that Xiao Sun was not talking about the issue of smoking or not, but the issue of desire. Who can live without desire? If you have desires that cannot be realized, how can you produce happiness?
"When you feel uncomfortable, set your goals a little lower. If you still feel uncomfortable, just lower your goals and you'll be fine."
Xiao Sun said nothing, but his expression was full of admiration.
The University of Technology itself is on the outskirts of the city, and the old apartment is further away, almost to the border of food delivery.
There are basically no residential buildings around. They are all zombie factories. They never produce for a day, and they are all running away to get land loans.
After more than 20 minutes, I finally arrived at the door of the old apartment of the University of Technology. Cai Gen had been to this place before, but it was bustling with people at that time. The door was full of various small businesses targeting students. Now the building is deserted and deserted.
In order to match the atmosphere, even the street lights are a little dim. Under the street lights, the sign of the University of Technology Apartments has been removed and replaced with a simple sign of a short-term rental house. It was originally a short-term apartment for rent, so there are residents, Cai Gen slowly felt relieved.
As we drove into the main entrance, we saw that the rows of apartment buildings were dark. The rental market was also very bleak. There were a few windows with lights on. Cai Gen admired their inner strength. They dared to live in such a scary place. The rent must be very cheap.
When we arrived at the fourth floor of the northernmost row of buildings and the easternmost one, there was indeed a window with a light on, but it seemed to be covered with newspapers and not much light came out.
Parking the car downstairs, Xiao Sun took the takeout bag and went upstairs. Cai Gen also got out of the car, so let's go up together. From the way he answered the phone, it seemed that the other party was a little weird.
As soon as Xiao Sun got off the bus, he stood still. Cai Gen was very surprised, so he walked to Xiao Sun and asked in a low voice,
"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
This time, Xiao Sun didn't make any mental twists. He leaned on the trunk of the car, looked at the dark apartment building in front of him, and said firmly,
"I didn't feel it in the car just now. Why do I feel a little yin when I get off the car? No one has lived here for a long time, so there must be a lot of other things living there."
Cai Gen said he was not afraid, but he was behind the bar in the store, standing under the dark apartment building, and he was afraid.
"Then Xiao Sun, you are not afraid of them."
With a smile, Xiao Sun said indifferently,
"What am I afraid of? I'm telling you in advance. If something suddenly pops up, don't scare you."
You are so considerate. I know that I have yin and yang eyes, so I will prepare myself mentally in advance. Xiao Sun, if my company develops well in the future, I will let you be the assistant to the chairman.
Fearing was useless, Cai Gen followed Xiao Sun into the dark corridor, coughed twice, and turned on the flashlight without voice control of the light.
At first, the students really moved out overnight. The corridors were full of scattered items, including clothes hangings, soap boxes, pillow towels, and toilet paper. It was like Afghanistan after a terrorist attack. It was very chaotic. Even though it is now a rental house, no one is cleaning it, and it remains the scene where students fled overnight in previous years. Occasionally, you can see some student apartment management regulations and bulletin boards on the wall, especially the bulletin boards. There are photos in them. They may be student union cadres or advanced individuals. I casually follow them with a flashlight, as if someone is looking through the glass. He looked out the window, which frightened Cai Gen.
For fear of illuminating something unsightly, Cai Gen did not dare to use his flashlight to shine around. He only dared to shine the light on the ground and followed Xiao Sun up the stairs with firm steps.
404 is on the fourth floor. Logically, you have to go up 8 flights of stairs to get there. However, Cai Gen and Xiao Sun climbed 8 flights of stairs before reaching the third floor. Doesn’t the first floor count?
After going up two more flights of stairs, it turned out to be the 5th floor.
The apartment building only has a total of 6 floors. If you go up further, you will reach the top. Xiao Sun and Cai Gen stopped together.
In the dark, I couldn't make eye contact, something was wrong.
Xiao Sun was relatively reliable. He took Cai Gen and went downstairs. After going down two flights of stairs, he saw that it was still the third floor.
The hand held by Xiao Sun was sweating, and Cai Gen was sweating unpromisingly.
"Xiao Sun, is this some kind of deception?"
Not hearing Xiao Sun's answer, he pulled Cai Gen up two more flights of stairs. When he saw that it was the fifth floor again, were you lost on the fourth floor?
Cai Gen couldn't stand it anymore. Climbing the stairs was so tiring, so tiring and nervous.
"Xiao Sun, why don't we send you off and go downstairs and go home."
Xiao Sun still didn't answer Cai Gen, but he roared,
"Where is 404? Who ordered takeout?"
This sound could probably be heard outside the building, let alone in the noisy corridor. It frightened Cai Gen. He was worthy of the Monkey King, so simple and so rude.
Of course, no one answered. Just as Cai Gen was about to take Xiao Sun downstairs, there was a sound of the door. The door of a house on the 5th floor opened a crack, and a dim light came out.
There was only one eye exposed from the crack in the door, staring at Cai Gen and Xiao Sun with ill intentions and unkindness.
Cai Gen and Xiao Sun did not move. They were also staring at that eye. They looked at each other, just like swordsmen in ancient times. When they meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins. Whoever looks away loses.
After looking at each other for more than ten seconds, the mouth under the eye spoke softly,
"Shout out to Chicken Feather and bring the rice quickly. What are you thinking about?"
He is a human being. Even though he is not normal, he is still a human being.
Cai Gen pulled Xiao Sun over. Xiao Sun took out the rice and said,
"Isn't this the 5th floor? Why is there 404? Is it wrong?"
Seeing Cai Gen and Xiao Sun coming over, the man opened the door slightly wider, completely exposing his body.
He is about thirty years old, wearing a white shirt, blue sweater, black trousers, leather shoes, meticulous hair of four to six lengths, average appearance, very ordinary.
This is a banker, because the white shirt, blue sweater, and black trousers are work clothes. Cai Gen is very familiar with them, and Xiaoqiang always wears them.
