That day was special. Ye Zhan suddenly said that our Hao Mo Action Team hadn't gathered for a long time. I thought so too, so I called Zhou Mo and Qi Siyu out - remember, the Hao Mo Action Team had four people. Since Ye Zhan and I became half-social people, we no longer ate in restaurants near the school, so the four of us went to Kaiyuan Road and found a good restaurant to eat.
While we were eating, something happened in the tube building at Laoyapo...
Laoyapo, tube-shaped building.
It was as quiet as ever, with few pedestrians or vehicles passing by. Even if there were cars, they would pass by at high speed. Even some ordinary people had heard of the legends about this place - a group of ruthless, murderous bandits and gangsters lived here. Whether it was true or not, people chose to stay away from it. It was better to believe it than not to believe it.
There are usually few people in the 500 meters before and after the tube building. Li Wenjuan, who lives in the tube building, finds it strange that this road can be driven straight, so why do many pedestrians and vehicles have to take a detour? When she goes to work, she often feels that this place is too desolate. But there is no way, the rent here is cheap, and she is very familiar with the residents here, as familiar as a family. In the company, when someone finds out that she lives in a tube building, they will be very surprised and say: "What, you actually live there? Don't you know..." and then a lot of blah blah, just describing how terrible and terrifying the tube building is.
After hearing this, Li Wenjuan would often laugh out loud: "What? How is it possible... Those old men and women in the building? Could they be murderous bandits? Don't be ridiculous. They are weaker than each other, especially the old man Qi who lives opposite me. He coughs with every step he takes, and if he walks downstairs, he can collapse the whole building with his cough..." At the end, Li Wenjuan even invited her colleagues to live there: "Don't believe those rumors. Live with me once, and you will know how ordinary they are. They are not gangsters at all! Such things only exist in novels. How can they exist in real life..."
Of course, her colleagues always refused, and no one was willing to stay with her in the tube building for a night. So poor Li Wenjuan had to go to work and go home alone, and her life was very, very lonely! Fortunately, during these few days, a girl named Yuan Xiaoyi lived with her, and she felt less lonely and more happy after returning home. However, Yuan Xiaoyi seemed to have something on her mind, and she always cried secretly at night. Li Wenjuan asked her, but she didn't say anything. Moreover, Yuan Xiaoyi seemed to have some secrets, and she never even left the tube building. This made Li Wenjuan feel strange. If it were her, she would probably have suffocated to death long ago.
At noon that day, Li Wenjuan was walking alone on her way home from work as usual. She was used to the desolation of this road, so she hummed the most popular songs of the day. She was a girl who loved life and was optimistic by nature, and she would not miss any moment that could bring her joy. When she was about to reach the tube building, she was depressed to find that there were five people standing on the side of the road.
Among these five people, three men and two women, all of them were about 30 years old, and they exuded a spirit of toughness from head to toe. Especially the two women, who were dressed like Lara in Tomb Raider. Li Wenjuan thought, these people might be backpackers who got lost when traveling here? After all, with her experience, she couldn't tell whether these people were dangerous or not.
Seeing Li Wenjuan coming over, one of the gentle-looking men said, "Hello, do you live in this building?"
Li Wenjuan nodded and looked at these people in a strange way. The man continued to ask, "Do you know a girl named Yuan Xiaoyi?" When he asked the question, the others looked around vigilantly. Of course, in Li Wenjuan's view, these people were just appreciating the surrounding scenery. This simple and innocent girl would never think badly of others, and would always be willing to help and treat others well. It was because of this that she was liked by the residents of the tube building; it was because of this that she handed two yuan to Wang Hao, a stranger, on the bus, and this wonderful fate began from then on.
When Li Wenjuan heard this, she said without any defense: "Yes, she lives with me. Who are you?"
The gentle man's face lit up and he said, "We are her friends from Xinxiang City, and we came here to visit her." The others also turned around and looked at Li Wenjuan seriously. Li Wenjuan had no doubts and smiled sweetly, "Okay, come with me. Xiaoyi has been in a bad mood these days, so you guys are here to comfort her."
“It should be.”
These people followed Li Wenjuan and headed towards the dilapidated tube building. Li Wenjuan didn't know that these people behind her were exchanging glances, which meant: "This building is very dangerous. If something unexpected happens, kidnap this woman."
After entering the building, Li Wenjuan reminded: "Be careful, it's a little dark here, don't fall."
A woman behind her twitched her eyelids. Perhaps she had been in this line of work for so long that her blood couldn't be colder. Suddenly seeing this kind girl made her heart move slightly. But it was only a slight movement, and her heart immediately returned to indifference. In this line of work, you must feed your useless conscience to the dogs.
Li Wenjuan walked in front as they walked up the long staircase. Her slim figure made the man behind her somewhat fascinated.
"Uncle Zhao, are you picking vegetables?" Li Wenjuan greeted happily.
"Well, are you off work?" Zhao Gensheng looked up and casually glanced at the person behind Li Wenjuan. In front of him was a plastic vegetable bowl, and next to it was a plastic bag with green beans in it. Zhao Gensheng took the beans out of the plastic bag, quietly tore off the tendons at both ends, and broke them into several pieces with a "crunch, crunch" sound and threw them into the vegetable bowl.
