Gu Xizhou drank coffee and touched the sofa behind him. The sofa was really soft to sit on. As for the price... Gu Xizhou didn't plan to ask anymore, and he couldn't afford it if he asked.
"After drinking, I'm ready to enter the world." After Si Yu finished speaking, he glanced at the time: "There are still a few minutes."
Gu Xizhou pouted, took a slow sip of coffee in his hand, "Got it."
After almost a month of entering the spiritual world again, Gu Xizhou rubbed his forehead, and his vision became blurred. The next second, Gu Xizhou suddenly found himself sitting in a room.
The walls of the room were soaked and moldy, yellow and cracked, and there were a few figures around him. Obviously, these people, like him, showed some dazed expressions about the place where they appeared this time. He quickly determined that Si Yu He Fangzhi was also in the office.
At this time, the situation of the people around him could not be determined. Gu Xizhou did not speak to the two of them immediately, but the three of them made eye contact and stayed in their positions silently.
In front of Gu Xizhou is a desk with a file bag on the table.
"Hey, what's going on?" A middle-aged man shook his head, stood up and looked around, with a look of bewilderment and some shock on his face.
"Where is this place? Am I not in the hospital?"
Hearing this sentence, the people in the office didn't speak, instead they all looked at the middle-aged man. Gu Xizhou noticed that these people were obviously relieved. Having new people means that the difficulty of this world will not be too exaggerated.
At this moment, a man with a stinky expression walked in from outside. As soon as he walked in, he slapped the table and said angrily, "What are you doing to eat? You can't handle a stinky old man?"
"I tell you, if he doesn't move out within five days, I'll let you all get out!" The man lost his temper when he came in, turned around and left.
"What's the situation?" The middle-aged man asked in confusion, "Who is he?"
After the man left, except for Gu Xizhou and the confused middle-aged man, they all introduced each other to the people around them.
"Hello, my name is Lin Hao." The man sitting next to Gu Xizhou stretched out his hand and introduced himself.
Gu Xizhou nodded and shook hands gently with the other party: "Hello, Gu Ran."
After a few people introduced each other, the middle-aged man next to him kept asking where it was. Fang Zhi answered his question: "The mission world, the people who enter this world are those whose life time has entered the countdown."
The middle-aged man opened his mouth in an O-shape, but he didn't shout like he didn't believe it when he met a newcomer before. He quickly accepted Fang Zhi's answer, "No wonder, I said how strong I am to walk."
"There seems to be a red countdown time in the void, is this the life time?" the middle-aged man asked in a low voice.
"Well, yes." Fang Zhi replied.
The middle-aged man seemed to want to ask something else, but was interrupted by Gu Xizhou, "If you have any questions, ask again. Now we must first figure out what the mission is."
"Demolition Office," Si Yu pointed to the banner hanging in the house, "combined with what the man said just now, our task is to persuade the old man to move. We each look at the information on the table, we should have the information we want."
Gu Xizhou nodded and flipped through the folder on the table. The first page of the folder contained the basic information of an old man: Mo Jiaqing, address No. 11, Huangshui Village.
Looking at the comments, based on the information, Gu Xizhou and the others are acting as staff of the demolition office. The demolition of Huangshui Village has been going on for almost half a year, and other residents have agreed to the demolition conditions they offered, only This old man named Mo Jiaqing has always disagreed with the conditions put forward by the demolition office. Even though they gave him tens of thousands of yuan more than other residents, the old man still stubbornly refused to move out.
"Looks like we have to go and have a look." Gu Xizhou pointed to the address and said.
The six people picked up the things and left the demolition office. In fact, the demolition office was the house of a resident of Huangshui Village. less than distance.
"No. 11 of Huangshui Village." Gu Xizhou pointed to the house number and said, "This is it."
When he walked to the gate of the confinement, Gu Xizhou knocked on the door first, and soon an old man came out. When he opened the door, he saw Gu Xizhou and others. The old man raised his eyebrows and raised the shoulder pole on the side, "I said no Moving is not moving, are you bothered?"
Si Yu stopped the old man who picked up the pole and asked, "Old man, we're not here to force you, can you tell us why you didn't move?"
The old man raised his eyebrows and glanced at Si Yu, and put the pole in his hand to the ground heavily, and the landing made a crisp sound: "My wife's dementia has been lost, I'm waiting for her to come back, in fact, I also know you The conditions are very good, but I'm afraid that if I move out, she can't find anyone when she comes back, so what will she do?"
"She got lost? When did she get lost?" Si Yu then asked.
"Didn't I say it! Before you came here, I was cooking at home, and after a while, she ran out and disappeared, but some neighbors saw her, but they couldn't find it, and the police came too. pass.
"She must have gone far. If you demolish this place, everything will change. She can't find her way back when she comes back. What should I do?" The old man said with a worried expression on his face.
After the old man's statement, Gu Xizhou finally understood that the old man didn't have time to look at the demented old lady when he was cooking lunch, so the old lady left the house for a while and then disappeared.
However, since the scope given by the mission world is within this village, the old lady must not have been lost, and there must have been an accident, which is why this scene appears.
Just when Si Yu and Gu Xizhou were still learning about the situation, the middle-aged man in the team turned pale and tremblingly said, "I, there is something behind my feet... something is clawing at my feet."
The other two gasped and took a step back in fear. Only Gu Xizhou walked around behind the man and raised his eyebrows, "You stepped on a mouse."
Hearing the words, the middle-aged man slowly turned his head to look at the things under his feet, and saw a mouse at his feet, his tail was trampled under his feet, he raised his feet, and the mouse flew into the old man's house. .
"The mouse ran into you..."
Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, the old man waved his hand and said, "It's alright, a mouse just ran into the house, it's alright, I'll go into the house if you're all right, the sun makes me uncomfortable."
The old man said and swayed the sun in the sky with his hands. He didn't seem to like the sun and frowned.
"The sun?" Gu Xizhou looked up at the gloomy sky. The sun was almost blocked by the dark clouds in the sky. At this time, the sun was not big at all. In comparison, the old man's movements were a bit exaggerated.
When the old man was about to close the door, he was suddenly stopped.
"Wait," Si Yu said, "if we help you find the old lady, are you willing to move out?"
Hearing this, the old man raised his eyebrows and nodded: "Of course, if you can help me find her, I will not only move out, but also give you a gift."
Hearing the old man's words, Gu Xizhou took a serious look at the old man. The key word was 'gift'. Gu Xizhou thought of the thank-you gift Fang Zhi received from Lin Meng, although the small round mirror has not been used yet. .
When the old man left, in addition to Gu Xizhou's attention to the gift, the other two obviously understood the meaning of the gift, and changed from being passive to active.
"What's that gift?" Yu Yizhou gave full play to his good habit of asking questions when he didn't understand. Yu Yizhou was the name of the middle-aged man, and others didn't care if the name was true or not.
Fang Zhi walked behind and explained to him, while Lin Hao and Xiao Nan walked very fast, surpassing Gu Xizhou and Si Yu, walking in the front, as if they could not wait to help the old man find him. Wife.
When I came to the only person who saw the old lady before she disappeared, the people nearby just signed an agreement, but they have not moved out.
The vegetable seller was a middle-aged woman with a pot belly, her hair tied into a ponytail, and a long-sleeved shirt with red flowers on a black background. She was sitting on the roadside with nail clippers cutting her nails.
"Hello." Lin Hao and Xiao Nan walked over diligently and asked the woman about the disappearance of the old lady.
"Oh, are you asking this? Mother He has Alzheimer's, but she's not really serious, she's fine most of the time, unlike other people who are crazy.
"I can't remember exactly that day. I sold the vegetables and was making a bill, and I just glanced at it in a trance. I saw Mrs. He passing by in the corner of the light, but I didn't care. Whoever knew it was lost." Speaking of this The woman pouted, as if she couldn't bear it, but more of it was a sigh.
Hearing this, Gu Xizhou and Si Yu looked around. Several households next to the house were all selling vegetables at stalls in front of their houses. Several nearby households were selling vegetables, because although this is a rural area, it is actually a suburb. There are many people who go to work in the city, so many farmlands are deserted, and only a few families are still growing vegetables, and this family is just one of them.
At this moment, Gu Xizhou saw a man wearing a white waistcoat with blood on his waistline passing by on the road. Gu Xizhou looked at the man in surprise, then turned to look at the woman sitting at the food stall and asked: "Who is that?"
"Oh, from out of town, they sell meat in our village." The woman said casually, she stood up and stretched, nibbling on melon seeds as she spoke, "He doesn't talk much, and he has a bad temper, so don't mess with him. ."
When the woman talked about the man who sold meat just now, she was obviously very afraid.
