Is it trivial to catch fire at home

When I stared at the TV screen dumbfounded, Yan Di had already noticed something wrong with my face. After asking, I found out that my house was on fire!

She dropped the delicious food in her hand, jumped up and rushed out of the ice cream shop with me, hailed a taxi on the street, and rushed home.

Along the way, I didn't say a word.

I have a feeling in my heart, from the "bloody disaster" to a small extortion of the property company. Then I won a lot of big prizes, and then there was a fire at home.

It's all like heads and tails. It seemed that whenever I had bad luck, good luck followed. And in the same way, as long as I have good luck, there will be an unlucky thing hitting me immediately.

All this, is it really because of this ring on my hand

Seeing my unkind expression, Yan Di thought I was just worried about the family, and Wen Yan comforted me, but I just smiled and didn't say anything to her.

The entrance of the community was already blocked, cars couldn't get in at all, so I simply got out of the taxi and dragged Yan Di all the way to the building where I lived.

At this moment, the fire fighting work is over, and the fire has already been extinguished. I just stood downstairs and looked up. The windows where I live on the third floor have been smashed. It must have been done by the firefighters when they were fighting the fire. There are fire trucks parked downstairs, and some firefighters are packing up their tools. , Move the long water pipe back to the car. Suddenly I saw the landlord also coming, talking to several people in police uniforms.

As soon as I walked over, the landlord had already seen me. He yelled suddenly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, with a resentful expression on his face, and then he rushed towards me with all his teeth and claws. slap me to death...

I saw that he had already jumped up, he was in mid-air, and he drew with his left palm, isn't that the legendary Five Poison Piercing Palm? That right hand clenched tightly, although it was a little smaller in size, it was exactly the vicious "Heihukouxin". And under his feet, he put on a posture of shadowless legs...

I never thought that a thin, short, and usually honest middle-aged man would be forced into such a state under the rage!

Seeing him rushing towards me with all his teeth and claws, and about to fight me desperately, I quickly stepped aside and shouted: "Hold on!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Chen Yang, today either you die or I die!" The landlord was as imposing as a rainbow, with tears in his eyes: "My house... a house that I have worked so hard to save all my life..."

Cut, dress less! Who doesn't know that this guy is a "house bug". Taking advantage of the low housing prices a few years ago, he bought several houses with loans, and then rented them out at high prices. The rent we pay every month is enough to repay the bank Got a loan. And now that housing prices have skyrocketed in the past few years, this fellow is also making a fortune!

"Chen Yang, if you don't speak clearly today, I will fight you!" The landlord gritted his teeth and said angrily, "The cause of the fire has been found out. It was caused by your random wiring in the kitchen!"

Uh... Indeed, because I'm lazy, I put a high-power electric stove in the kitchen... That thing has a lot of power, but it boils water very quickly... But the power of that thing does seem to exceed the standard...

The landlord was about to come up to grab my clothes, I frowned slightly, but seeing a few policemen at the side, I just opened his hand and sighed: "Well, don't worry, I won't renege on the debt. The loss of the fire is mine Just pay."

I know this guy is greedy and stingy, the house is definitely not insured.

Moreover, the people who live upstairs and downstairs here are not rich people. If my house catches fire, it will definitely bring disaster to the neighbors. Although I am not a good person, I am not a scoundrel either, and I don't want those innocent neighbors to suffer.

As soon as I heard that I was willing to pay compensation, the landlord let go of his "fucking fist" posture and heaved a sigh of relief.

After some haggling, I agreed to pay 50,000 yuan in compensation, and then took out an additional 20,000 yuan to compensate my neighbors. Afterwards, the landlord followed the police back to make a statement.

There were many spectators around, Yan Di and I separated from the crowd and went upstairs to go home.

The door had been smashed open by the firefighters. When I walked in, I saw that the living room was already in a mess, the floor was covered with water, the walls were burnt to black, and the kitchen was in ruins. What refrigerator and microwave oven? And so on, everything is finished, and there is still a thick layer of fire extinguishing foam floating on the ground.

The tiles on the walls are all done.

The two bedrooms in the house, my master bedroom next to the kitchen, have also been scrapped. The fire spread to the bedroom, half of the furniture was charred, only a shelf was left on the bed, and only a pile of rags remained, such as sheets and quilts.

Fortunately, the only minor disaster area is my small room. There is nothing in this room, there are things like TV and computer, and a set of fitness equipment. This small room is close to the balcony, but the doors and windows of the balcony were also smashed.

Apparently when there was a frontal fire, the firefighters were fighting the fire by climbing into the room from the other side of the building, which was my balcony.

The things here are not damaged, but when the fire was extinguished, a large amount of water was sprayed and poured into the room, and the ground has already become a vast ocean. The two floor speakers I put on the ground seem to be hung up, alas, This is a good thing worth nearly ten thousand.

Looking at these, I was really a little irritable. Glancing at Yan Di, Yan Di saw that I was silent and dared not speak all the time, but just stood silently behind me.

"Little Fifth Brother..." She said cautiously: "Don't be angry... The things at home are burnt out, so you can just buy them again."

I nodded, but there was an indescribable depression in my heart.

How should I put it, it seems that there is a hand in the dark controlling all this happening. This feeling makes me very uncomfortable!

Taking a deep breath, I made a smile on my face: "Okay, it's just a small disaster. Hehe... Anyway, the loss is not much. This house is not mine, at worst, I'll just live in another place." .”

Then Yan Di helped me clean up the unburned things, and found a few sets of clothes that I could still wear. I thought about it, and the biggest question right now is, where will I live for the next few days

Seeing that Yan Di was helping me tidy up my clothes, I went outside, kicked away a piece of broken wood that fell on the ground, and then took out my mobile phone to call the property company that I blackmailed.

That guy promised to rent me a house!

After the phone call, the guy kept his promise, saying that he would not renege on the house, but it would take two days, and he made an appointment to see the house at his place the day after tomorrow. I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that I will temporarily sleep in the company for two nights in the past two days.

"Little Brother Wu, what is this thing? Is it still useful? If it's not useful, I'll throw it away?"

Yan Di's voice came from the room. I walked in and saw a stack of things in her hand. I took a look and couldn't help being pleasantly surprised!

This is actually the investigation report and product manual about this ring that that lunatic gave me!

I thought these things were burned, but I just remembered now. Fortunately, I didn't put them in the bedroom. I didn't believe these things were real at first, but I just threw them on the computer when I got them back.

But unfortunately, I originally hoped to find some valuable answers from that "product manual", but that product manual was placed on the top page, and half of it was destroyed, and the rest was beyond recognition. A few suspiciously broken lines of text.

I looked at it for a long time, and I only saw the words "accept", "luck signal", and "improve luck", which are similar to what the lunatic who sold it to me said, and they have no value.

When I was depressed, I saw a small line of text at the bottom of the survey form.

"Welcome to visit our company's official website: www.XXXXXXX.COM …"

My heart moved, as if I had finally found a glimmer of hope. However, the circuit at home has already been cut off, and there is no way to access the Internet. I thought about it, the Internet cafe environment outside is too chaotic, I'd better go to the company. The company's finances have a computer, and it's also quiet there.

Yan Di had already packed my remaining clothes into a small purse, and then I took her out of the house. I asked Yan Di to go home first. Although she was worried about me, I comforted her and told her that I would If I go to the company, I will also live in the company these two days.

Yan Di didn't seem to want to go back to that place either, so he hesitated for a while, and went home according to my wishes.

After seeing off Yan Di, I immediately went to the company by car. I haven't gone to work yet, and there is no one in the company. I happen to be able to use the financial computer.

But after getting in the car, I suddenly remembered one thing: Yan Di is from the lottery center, and today I won the lottery. I am afraid that it will be difficult for her to continue her lottery sales work.

Also, my passbook and bank card at home have been burned, and I have to go to the bank to report the loss and make up for it tomorrow... There are a lot of big and small things to deal with... Oh, what annoyance!

Glancing at the ring on his hand again, he couldn't help feeling a bit of awe in his heart.

Can this little thing really control my fate
