You go back to the basement, sleepy and tired, and fall asleep as soon as your head touches the bed.
When I opened my eyes again, I was still in that dark and narrow basement, still full of the familiar energy.
A young body seems to have endless energy. No matter how many floors you climbed or how far you ran the day before, as long as you wake up, you will be able to recover.
But your heart is too tired to get up.
There is a strange "sense of separation" between your body and will.
Lying on the bed, you lazily thought, for an ordinary little person like you, even such a strange thing that happened to him would not be spectacular.
But soon, you thought of the homeless old man on the side of the road, the cat litter lady who was raped by an air conditioner, and the regretful look of the master yesterday, and the earnest advice from the leader before he left...
You wiped your face and resigned yourself to sitting up again.
After folding your quilt squarely and making the bed neatly, you change into the uniform you almost took off yesterday, wash your face and brush your teeth, tidy up and go out the door.
You bought three breakfasts on the side of the road, ate one in the store, gave one to the master, and gave one to the homeless old man when passing the street corner, and told him to be careful when crossing the road.
It's neither too early nor too late, you stepped into the company, handed the pancake you bought to the master, and quietly went to carry the courier you want to deliver today.
When you go out, you hear Lao Wang muttering again about whether his daughter will go to Tsinghua University or Peking University, and you casually say to him:
"Go to Tsinghua University. Even if you choose Peking University now, you will have your daughter change to Tsinghua University in the afternoon."
Under Lao Wang's bewildered expression, you drove a courier car and left the business point.
This time, you didn't hand over the cigarettes. Together with your colleagues from other courier companies, you listened to them complaining about this "grievous" rule, and just like them, you filled out the forms and moved the courier.
Before leaving, you took away the garbage piled up in the reception room and threw it into the trash can outside.
You sent a courier to the family with a little chubby, and when the child was crying, you folded a paper airplane out of paper and handed it to him, successfully diverting his attention.
You didn't think about that big bun again, after all, you've had Michelin-level morning tea, and your stomach is full now.
You delivered most of the couriers neither fast nor slow, and you didn't worry about the ones that didn't arrive. Like an old courier master, you got stuck and returned to the business point at noon.
Chatted with the team leader and the master about the delivery process in the morning. After you finished your lunch, you watched the master load another truck of express for you.
So you start delivering the afternoon express.
You first find out the digital product of "Xiao Heyun", make a few calls, and when you find no one answers, you set an alarm for yourself and call every hour.
Then you waited until almost two o'clock, and called Qin Rourou, the cat litter lady.
After confirming that the other party is at home, you, who sat downstairs in her unit for half an hour waiting for her to wake up, picked up the bag of cat litter and delivered it to Miss Cat Litter.
You delivered cat litter outside the door, but didn't go in. After telling her not to open the door to strangers in pajamas, you went back downstairs and continued to sit on the flower bed and wait.
You see the air conditioner enter the unit door.
You follow him and watch him stand in front of the door of 402 for a while, then suddenly go up to the fifth floor and knock on the door of 502.
If you have been to the balcony of Miss Maosha's house, you know why.
On the balcony of her house, there are many light and thin clothes belonging to women to dry in the air. The colors and styles of each piece are exquisite and lovely...but none of them belong to men.
Miss Cat Sand didn’t open the door. When you saw the air conditioner’s ear to the iron door and wanted to pick out tools, you felt a sense of anger in your heart. You rushed forward in two or three steps, strangled the air conditioner’s neck, and pulled him off. .
He struggles violently, his prison-bred instincts of rebellion attacking you.
But after all, you are younger than him, stronger than him, and have received relevant training, so in the corridor, you beat him up.
"Third Shu, you were dishonest just after you were released from prison?"
You stepped on his hand trying to get the hammer out of the bag, and looked down at him.
"If you dare to touch the door on the fifth floor again, I will beat you every time I see you! I know where your home is, and I also know where the old Liu who introduced you to work is. If you dare to do anything, I will not let you go..."
The last time you were at the police station, you probably knew the identity and origin of this air conditioner.
You looked at the other person's terrified and surprised expression, and sneered to scare him.
"Anyway, no one cares where someone like you dies, right?"
The other party was so frightened that he ran away in tears, vowing that he would never come to this community again.
You know that the other party is only temporarily frightened, and after a long time, he will still have the idea of committing a crime.
Such a person is simply mentally ill, and he should not be released until he is cured.
So you call the police, tell the police that you saw someone trying to pick the lock in front of someone else's door, you tell the police that you stopped the other person's behavior, and you learned the name of the air conditioner from the dispute.
The police replied that you would go to the company that repaired the air conditioner, and investigate the identity of the air conditioner's contact information by the way.
When you came out of Miss Maosha’s house, you picked up your phone again, added the WeChat account of the woman who was cheated on, filled in the application information that you saw her husband having an intimate relationship with a young man, and then ignored it.
When passing by the lottery station again, you stopped at the door for a while, and finally chose to turn around and leave.
You kept calling that Xiao Heyun once an hour, but you still couldn't get in touch with him.
You shook your head and sighed, putting it away with the other deliveries that couldn't be delivered, no longer trying to contact their owners.
After delivering the courier and returning to the business point, you report on today's work, ask the team leader to persist and register, and after completing all procedures, you leave work.
Today, you don't want to go back to sleep in a dank, dark basement.
After looking at the balance in your account, you chose to go to a five-star hotel near your workplace, and spent more than 1,000 yuan to book a room for one night.
Maybe it's because you are wearing the uniform of the company that often delivers express to them, maybe it's because today is not a holiday and there are too many vacant rooms, the lady at the front desk upgraded the room type for you for free.
You only spent the money of an ordinary room to live in an executive deluxe room with a particularly good view.
You have never lived in such a nice room, even the toilet is bigger than the basement where you live.
You don't need to bring any toiletries at all, everything you can use is prepared in the hotel...
"Perhaps including those that are not needed."
Holding the lotion and cotton pads placed next to the bathtub, you think silently.
Lying in the bathtub, you look out from the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the whole city. The bustling traffic and feasting outside the window make you feel extraordinarily unreal.
Your thoughts drift away.
"Anyway, no one cares where someone like you dies, right?"
You think about what you said when you beat up that air conditioner today.
In fact, these words are not talking about yourself
You are working hard to live and take root in this city, you care about everyone around you, and you work hard to change the fate of others...
But no one cares, and no one will notice you.
In order to get rid of the sudden depression, you get up from the bathtub, blow on the cold air of the air conditioner to wake up for a while, then put on your bathrobe, step barefoot on the soft carpet of the guest room, and start to "explore" in this suite.
At first, you still feel fresh, watching the free TV programs in the hotel, and opening the refrigerator to see the staggeringly priced paid food in it.
Flipping through the menu of your hotel’s food delivery service, you’re dumbfounded at the price, and then a thought arises:
You think that if you don’t deliver express in the future, you can choose to deliver food in an area with more five-star hotels.
You start to wonder, what is the difference between the Yangchun noodles in the five-star hotel and your mother's.
So you call and order a meal delivery service.
Facts have proved that there is no difference between the Yangchun noodles in the five-star hotel and your mother's, except that the portion made by your mother is larger than the hotel's...
The initial novelty wears off a little bit, and you look at the empty room, a little dull.
No matter how big the room is, no matter how luxurious the furnishings, without the company of family members, it is just an empty shell that makes people sleep more comfortably.
You who have lost your family and sold your old house, have no home anymore.
You suddenly feel that it is a waste to live in such a hotel alone.
You have a strong desire to chat with someone and share your "impulsive consumption" after this inexplicable decline.
At this point, you have two options.
I'm trying to contact Miss Maosha who memorized the number...
Or go to the side of the road to look for the homeless old man
