Chapter 227: Laurel's Home (Big Chapter)(1/2)
Mo Yu and others soon arrived near Qinhuai Tower. Although Wei Qiyuan had a positioning in his hands, Yugui had lived here for many years, so it was Yugui who was actually leading the way.
She first led the team to the main road, and then entered a narrow alley for one person. A tall figure like Wei Qiyuan could only pass by side. Yue Gui didn't seem to have expected this situation and smiled apologetically at Wei Qiyuan.
“It’s much faster to walk this alley than to walk directly with the road I’m walking along with you.”
She simply drew a 'tong' (tong) shape in front of her, indicating the route that needs to be detoured.
"If you walk the main road, you probably need to go around so far, but because this alley is too narrow, the navigation software has not included it, so only those who live nearby know about it."
I don’t know if it was because she returned to the familiar environment, she no longer spoke as restrained as she was at Mo Yu, and she began to become more optimistic.
Mo Yu looked back at Wei Qiyuan, Wei Qiyuan nodded slightly and responded, and then laughed young,
"It seems that we have good luck and have mastered another secret passage."
“The first point is the exit.”
Yule smiled and continued to walk forward with the three of them.
After walking for a while, I completely passed through this dark and cramped alley, and my whole vision suddenly became clear, with a bit of the feeling of "I was so narrow at the beginning, I was only able to understand people, and I walked dozens of steps again and suddenly became clear".
However, what came into Mo Yu's eyes was not the paradise where "the land was flat and the houses were like that." "The traffic between the fields and the chickens and dogs were heard." It was a low and chaotic shanty town. Between the gaps of the shanty towns, you could vaguely see the cement exterior walls on which the shanty towns relied on.
This place seemed to have been a rural self-built house. After urbanization, for some reason, it was not demolished. This house was surrounded by rows of tall buildings. From the outside, you can't find this "digging corner" hidden in the city no matter what.
Behind the cement exterior wall, basically every household built some shanty towns with iron. These shanty towns seemed to be for rent, and some busy people dressed in plain clothes were wearing and rubbing between the shanty towns.
Some are wearing camouflage work clothes with gray lime, yellow safety helmets, and some are pushing tricycles with glass cabinets, with red words such as cold skin, jelly, and cold noodles on the glass cabinets. The rent here should be low, so it attracts many people who do not have that high requirements for accommodation.
Yue Gui continued to lead the team forward. The four of them quickly attracted the attention of the crowd around them. Yu Hanyan seemed a little confused. She looked around and found that the four of them seemed to be of good looks. Wei Qi was always tall and brave, and Mo Yu was elegant and handsome, and there was no need to mention Yue Gui and her own appearance.
Of course, she, who has been in the mall for a long time, naturally thought of another reason quickly.
“We’re too clean.”
Wei Qiyuan said what she was thinking.
Indeed, compared to the dusty people here, the four of them dressed neatly, which was incompatible with the painting style here. However, there were also many children who were dressed neatly and cleanly, so the four of them were not completely in another style of painting.
At this moment, Mo Yu felt a gaze watching him. He looked up and saw a middle-aged woman with a kind smile on her face and plump body. The woman looked at everyone in confusion, then her eyes stopped on Yuelai, walked over with doubt, and shouted in confusion.
"Laurel?"
"well?"
Yuegui responded subconsciously, and then she realized that the middle-aged woman said in surprise, "Aunt Liu?"
"Oh, it's you, Laurel,"
The middle-aged woman called Aunt Liu was a little excited and walked around Yuelao twice, "How come you have changed so much and become so beautiful? If Aunt Liu hadn't watched you grow up since childhood, she wouldn't have recognized you."
Then, without waiting for Yuegui to reply, she turned her gaze on Mo Yu behind Yuegui, and her face was full of smiles. "This is your boyfriend, ah, this young man looks so handsome, just a match, just a match!"
"Aunt Liu..."
Yue Gui's face turned slightly red, but after just saying two words, Aunt Liu grabbed her wrist and walked straight forward.
"Yuegui are you coming and going home to get things? Oh, I'll tell you, after you left, I originally wanted to rent out the house, but there are so many things left in your house, and it's hard for me to move. Didn't your parents get that disease? I called them to move away. They kept saying that they had to come and they didn't have time in the end, so they couldn't contact you.
I thought you have lived here for so many years, so I didn't make it free. I'll keep it as it is. I'll keep it for a few more months. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to rent it out.
······”
Yuegui was pulled by Aunt Liu and walked forward. Aunt Liu's mouth was like a cannon, and she never stopped for a moment. This made her unable to find the gap to interject, so she could only smile slightly red with her face apologetically at Mo Yu.
Mo Yu was nothing. They were originally planning to let Wei Qiyuan show the official documents and get the cooperation of the landlord. Unexpectedly, Aunt Liu recognized Yuegui at a glance, which saved most of his thoughts.
Although Aunt Liu is plump and short and fat, her speed is not slow. Mo Yu and Wei Qiyuan are fine, Yu Hanyan has to speed up his own speed.
It was not that she could not maintain this physical exhaustion, but that she was used to walking slowly lazyly on weekdays. At this time, she missed her electric wheelchair.
But in the final analysis, she is now missing the soft sofa at Mo Yu's home all the time.
At such a fast speed, Mo Yu quickly arrived at the "home" before Yue Luo.
This is a small shanty town that doesn't look big. There is a big black padlock hanging at the door of the shanty town. Aunt Liu let go of Yue Lai, took out a key and searched for it, then opened the big padlock and slowly pushed open the door of the shanty town.
"Look at Yue Gui, it's exactly the same. Aunt Liu hasn't moved anything and is waiting for you to come back."
Aunt Liu smiled and quickly walked into the house, and Mo Yu followed him into the house.
The house is not big, about twenty square meters. There is a high and low bed on the side of the house to the door. The other iron wall next to the other side of the high and low beds was cut into a square shape, and a transparent window was installed. Under the window was a small desk, and there was a stack of books mixed with various test papers on the desk.
A corner of the desk was deliberately empty, and a white plastic flower pot was placed. The flowers in the flower pot seemed to be not a precious variety, and had completely withered.
On the other side of the door, that is, the side opposite the high and low beds and the desk, the space on that side is relatively small. It is surrounded by an old curtain. A gas tank and a gas stove can be vaguely seen behind the curtain. There is an old microwave oven on the stove, and next to the microwave oven is another small window, which seems to be used for ventilation.
"You lived in this kind of place before?"
Yu Hanyan was obviously a little surprised. When he heard Yu Hanyan's tone, Aunt Liu's expression changed a little. Mo Yu quickly glared at her and signaled her to shut up.
"Yes," Yue Gui took over the topic and pointed at the high and low beds with a smile. "I used to sleep on the bottom bunk and I slept on the top bunk, and I spent my whole childhood here."
Then she walked to Aunt Liu and took Aunt Liu's hand, "Aunt Liu is also very nice to me and takes good care of me. This is my home."
Aunt Liu's face turned gloomy and held Yue Gui's hand and said with a smile, "Yue Gui has been sensible since childhood, but his father is just an old stubborn. I said before that the girl is so old that her parents have to avoid suspicion and let them change to a house with a room."
She glanced at Mo Yu, pulled Yue Gui and continued to smile, "We Yue Gui, we can cook and do housework, are still a college student, and we are so handsome now. If anyone marrys you, it will be a blessing for eight lifetimes."
"Aunt Liu, stop talking."
Yue Gui's face was red. She knew Aunt Liu's wishes and said quickly.
Aunt Liu saw her appearance and didn't say anything else. At this time, Mo Yu walked around the desk on the windowsill. At this moment, Wei Qiyuan was still taking photos near the windowsill.
Mo Yu pointed to the desk and asked softly at Yuegui.
"Laurel, was that your location that day?"
"Uh-huh."
Yue Lai nodded quickly.
So Mo Yu said softly to her,
"The guard team leader is taking pictures there, why don't you go over and point him in the position?"
"Okay," Yue Gui let go of Aunt Liu's hand, "Aunt Liu, will I go there to do something first?"
"It's okay, you go."
Aunt Liu waved her hand quickly.
As Yuegui walked away, Aunt Liu leaned into Mo Yu's ear, "Young man, has something happened to Yuegui?"
"No," Mo Yu shook his head quickly, "We are her friends, come and see you."
Aunt Liu looked at Mo Yu skeptically and sighed randomly, "Yuegui is a miserable child. Her parents both have that leukemia. Do you know? I heard that it costs a lot of money to cure the disease. Their family has no money. I thought it could not be saved, but Yuuegui got a lot of money from somewhere and cured her parents."
Then she paused, "Yuegui has been a good child since she was a child. If she took the wrong path, you friends must be so kind to her."
"Yeah," Mo Yu nodded and took out the communicator, "Aunt Liu, how much does it cost to rent in the past three months?"
"Why are you still paying attention to these things? I am the child I grew up watching. How can I still be greedy for this little money?"
Aunt Liu shook her head, but accidentally took out a printed receipt code from her pocket.
Mo Yu looked at the payment code and smiled, "How much does Aunt Liu cost per month?"
"Five hundred, I rented it to Yuelai and the others for five hundred a month, and it has not changed for so many years."
Aunt Liu looked serious, as if she was really discussing house rent with Mo Yu.
"Well," Mo Yu used the communicator to scan the collection code, "Aunt Liu, I'll transfer 3,000 to you. Can you find a moving company to help move Yue Gui's things to this place?"
A gentle female voice suddenly rang out from Aunt Liu's pocket.
"Cash received 3,000 yuan"
The sound was not loud. Mo Yu looked at Wei Qiyuan and pointed the direction, Yuegui was confirming that she had not heard it. Then she was about to find paper and pen. When she heard the voice broadcast, Aunt Liu took out a small notebook with a pen in her pocket and handed it to Mo Yu.
"It's okay, just write it down. After all, I've grown up. If you can, please help me."
Mo Yu wrote down an address on the notebook. This is the house Mo Yue bought near Chang'an Academy. Shen Na is now living there, and then he also kept Chen Na's contact information. Just mention this matter to my sister later.
"Okay, okay," Aunt Liu took the book happily, and then she said uneasy, "Young man, just move something and find a few neighbors, but it's less than 1,500."
"It's okay, the extra money is a special hard work fee for you. After all, you are still taking care of this room after Yugui and the others left. By the way, Mo Yu suddenly thought of something, "Don't mention this to Yugui."
"I know, I know," Aunt Liu happily put the notebook in her pocket. "That girl Yuegui is so strong. If she knows, she will definitely make a fuss to repay you. Oh, you young people..."
She looked like I knew everything and I knew everything.
Mo Yu smiled and said nothing, and walked towards the laurel and Weiqiyuan beside the windowsill.
"Good kids, they are all good kids."
Aunt Liu murmured at the sight of the people.
As Mo Yu and Wei Qiyuan finished taking photos, they followed Yue Luo's direction and the three of them went in and out to collect some data.
The investigation at Yue Gui's family has been completed, so they greeted Aunt Liu and prepared to leave here.
Then they found that there seemed to be no one. After a long search, they found the sleeping rain and smoke in the upper bunk of the high and low beds.
