The noise of quarrels came from the corridor of an old building with poor sound insulation.
Zhang Guhuai was awakened by the sound of a door crash.
Last night, he couldn't sleep until six o'clock in the morning. After he was sure that he was safe for the time being, he was wrapped in his clothes and lay on the old wooden bed without quilt.
The crash outside the door turned into a noise. However, Zhang Guhuai quickly sat up from the bed and put his hand on a small luggage bag at the head of the bed, which contained all his wealth.
"You said you didn't steal it. My son saw you!"
"You said you didn't steal your water. Your son is blind and wrong."
The old house is located in a brick house built in the last century in the western suburb of Ancheng. The geographical environment is extremely poor, and there is even a cemetery on the mountain behind it.
There are five floors in a building. The appearance is mottled and dilapidated red bricks. Inside, there is only one public kitchen on the first floor. Each kitchen is equipped with five faucets, belonging to different households. However, because the electricity meter is not updated and the equipment is aging, it is often found that this house steals the water from that house.
Zhang guyuai was a little relieved. He realized that it was not the policeman who was looking for him outside. He took his hand from his luggage bag.
This old house is owned by his grandfather. After his grandfather passed away, he never came again. This time, there was no place to go, so he had to settle down here.
A lot of things in the room have fallen to dust. The place where no one has been to for two or three years, I felt dusty when I entered the door yesterday.
Carefully getting out of bed, Zhang Gu Huai walks to the window. Outside is the old muddy stone road. It seems that he is still safe now.
He looked up and looked at the old clock hanging on the wall. The clock was out of time. He hadn't changed the battery for two or three years, so he couldn't use it.
He covered his face, rubbed his uncomfortable skin with his hands, and then went back to the bed to take out a non smart phone that was turned off in his luggage bag.
Nowadays, smart phones are used in society, but smart phones are easy to be monitored and tracked. This old-fashioned mobile phone is given to him by that person.
In other words, the whole luggage bag was prepared by the person in advance and put in the designated place for him to pick up.
Turn on the phone. The time shown above is 8:30 a.m.
The boat to leave Ancheng was set at 11:00 p.m.
Taking a breath, Zhang Guhuai sat down beside the wooden bed tired. His stomach was already very hungry. There was no food in the luggage bag. There was only an envelope containing 1000 yuan, which was also given to him by the man.
But in his present situation, he can't go shopping.
He put the envelope back in his bag and he lay back in bed again, closing his eyes again.
However, at this time, the quarrel outside the corridor rang out again, and the number of quarrels was also upgraded. Originally, a man and a woman were quarrelling, but now they have become two men and two women.
The woman asked her husband to help, and the man also called his wife to help.
The two families started to fight, and Zhang Guhuai heard the sound of impact again.
Then there were voices: "you dare to push my wife!"
"She pointed to my wife first!"
The war turned into a fight between two men, and occasionally a woman's heart rending scream.
Soon, the whole building was disturbed.
Zhang Guhuai couldn't sleep. He went to the door and stood behind the door, listening to the outside.
He had forgotten whether there were neighbors in his grandfather's house who would not give up or even fight for several scales of water. However, such a noisy environment made him very uncomfortable. He was subconsciously nervous and did not dare to relax.
"Well, well, it's all neighborhood leaders. How can you start a little bit of work? Stop. Don't you go to work? What time is it
Zhang guyuai was impressed by the voice. It was grandfather Wang. He was an old chess friend with his grandfather. When he was a child, Zhang Guhuai could see him every time he came to his grandfather's house for winter and summer holidays.
Grandfather Wang's voice made Zhang Guhuai a little relieved, and familiar people made him feel at ease.
With the adjustment of grandfather Wang, after a few minutes, the outside returned to quiet.
Zhang Guhuai went back to the bed again.
Then, the sound of footsteps outside, the work of all to go to work.
After a while, there was no movement outside. The feeling of hunger became more and more obvious. Zhang Gu Huai looked at the time.
He walked cautiously to the door and opened the door a little.
Outside the corridor, there was no one. All the houses were closed.
He closed the door again, went to the window and looked down carefully. There was no one downstairs.
The whole area seemed to be silent.
Zhang guyuai hesitated for a moment. Finally, he took 200 yuan from the envelope, changed into a sweater with a hat, wrapped himself tightly, and put on a black mask. He opened the door gently and walked out.There is a convenience supermarket not far below. There is only a female cashier sitting behind the cash register playing with her mobile phone. There is no customer in the store.
Zhang guyuai bought several packets of biscuits and bottles of water. When he arrived at the cash register, he lowered his head to avoid the camera on the top right and put the things on the table.
The cashier put down his mobile phone, looked at him, chewed gum in his mouth, scanned the cargo code, and said, "thirty four yuan and five yuan."
Zhang Gu Huai handed her a hundred yuan.
The cashier felt the note to make sure it was real and gave him the rest.
Zhang Guhuai took water and biscuits and walked away quickly.
The cashier looked at his back, shrugged, went back to the back of the cashier and picked up the phone.
But at this moment, she suddenly felt something wrong.
She raised her eyes suspiciously, and saw that there was a window in the opposite building, as if someone was looking at her side.
She looked around curiously, and the figure in the window disappeared again.
Maybe it's a bear kid? But this time, shouldn't children go to school?
The cashier didn't pay attention to it. On the other side, Zhang Gu Huai quickly walked on the empty stairs of the corridor. He made sure that there was no one in the corridor. He cautiously returned to the room.
He took a bite of the biscuit wrapping paper and then used mineral water.
When eating, he instinctively moved to the window, always paying attention to the outside.
After eating, he patted the crumbs on his hands, got up from the window and went back to the bed.
He took out his cell phone and dialed a set of phone numbers.
Soon there was a tone to be connected.
No one answered the call until the tone automatically ended.
Zhang guyuai frowned and definitely looked at the time on the top of the mobile phone. At ten o'clock, it was this time to contact.
He was a little confused and dialed again.
The same tone came, but no one answered.
At the same time, on the same floor, grandfather Wang's home.
Wang Ye looked warily at the police comrades in the room who had been playing with a machine for a long time. He was worried and asked, "Xiaohuai, are you really a bad man?"
Yang Ting looked at the monitor without any voice fluctuations on the screen, cold voice said: "master, he is now wanted / wanted."
"When are you going to arrest him?" he said? Is he harmful? "
"Don't worry, the whole area has been surrounded by the police, he can't turn out the water spray," Yang said
