At six o'clock in the afternoon, it is the rush hour after work, the city is full of traffic, crowds, a red light jammed car is enough to line up to the next street corner, horns, noise is endless. Being in such an environment makes people feel a little more irritable.

On the crowded street, there is a young man in a straight suit who is leisurely in the sea of people. He carries a black shoulder bag on his left shoulder and wears a pair of rimless glasses, which looks like he is no different from the white-collar workers working in office buildings around him, but unlike other hurried passers-by, the eyes hidden behind his rimless glasses are extremely bright, with a dignified gaze and a quick and agile gaze. And although his steps are big, he looks particularly relaxed and chic, heroic, and it is this unique temperament that makes him recognizable at a glance even if he is in the vast sea of people.

As he walked, the young man observed the movements around him very attentively, and from time to time he paused, and after pondering for a while, he took a new step, sometimes walking and turning back, as if he were looking for a way, but all the while, he never asked for directions like the others.

Gradually, the young man turned from the bustling street into the alley next to him, turning around and turning around, walking more and more remotely, and the fewer people walked. Finally, with a strong step, he was brought to a newsstand on the side of the road.

It was not just a simple newsstand, but also cigarettes and various drinks, a freezer, a large open umbrella, and a small wooden shelf full of all kinds of newspapers and magazines. The boss is a half-aged with a slight appearance, and when she saw a customer coming to the door, she immediately had a bright smile on her face, and got up and greeted enthusiastically: "What do you want to buy?" I have everything here, business newspapers, evening newspapers, metropolitan newspapers, all kinds of drinks, and cold ......"

However, to her disappointment, the young man's gaze did not stay on her or her newsstand, but directly crossed over to the small courtyard behind her with the gate closed, and a solemn look appeared on her originally gentle face.

The proprietress followed his gaze, and couldn't help muttering with some dissatisfaction, saying, "A broken house, what's there to see?" ”

The young man smiled when he heard this, his eyes were taken back from the small courtyard, and he landed on the newsstand, and said to the proprietress, "Bring me a business newspaper." ”

The proprietress turned her anger into joy, and with a smile on her face, she took out a business newspaper from a large stack of newspapers, handed it to the man, and asked diligently: "Little brother, don't you want a bottle of water on a hot day?" ”

The young man shook his head, took the newspaper, and asked casually, "Eldest sister, please ask, whose courtyard is it?" What do they usually do? ”

"Why are you asking this?" The proprietress looked at him with some vigilance and asked.

The young man smiled and said, "Eldest sister, that's the case, I want to buy this yard, so I want to know about the situation of the house first." ”

The proprietress was relieved when she heard it, buying a house is not a trivial matter these days, if you accidentally buy a "murderous house" such as a dead person, it will be troublesome. Generally speaking, like this kind of thing, the landlord can naturally hide it and sell it, and multiple attentive buyers, before placing an order, usually will knock on the side and inquire about all aspects of the house from all aspects, so as not to be deceived. And the neighbors around the house are the best choice.

But immediately, the proprietress said to herself with some surprise: "Hey, are they going to sell the house?" Why haven't I heard of it? ”

The young man smiled and said, "Why don't you sell it?" I'm just from an agent. ”

"Really?" The proprietress seemed to be a little incredulous, but she also said: "Don't worry, although this house is a little old, but nothing has happened to it, the environment is quiet, and the location is good." If you buy it, you're buying it. ”

"Hehe, then I'll thank my eldest sister for her good words." When the young man heard this, he seemed to have picked up his wallet, and he was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth.

"Big brother, do you work around here?" After the proprietress looked the young man up and down, she asked with some gossip.

"Yes, I just want to be closer to the unit, otherwise how would I consider buying a house in this neighborhood?"

The proprietress showed envious eyes and asked, "Seeing that you are not very old, you can buy a house here and earn a lot of money a year, right?" ”

The young man smiled bitterly and said, "What, in fact, you can't eat enough and can't starve to death." If it weren't for the sponsorship of our parents, how could we have the ability to buy a house just two years after we graduated? ”

The proprietress nodded approvingly, which family is buying a house now, doesn't it drain all the old man's life savings? Then she rolled her eyes and whispered to the young man, "Oh, big brother, if you really want to buy a house, do you want to see my house?" It's not far from here, it's more than ten minutes away at most. I promise it's not worse than him, and as long as the price is right, I'll sell it......"

"Really?" The young man seemed to be a little surprised, but soon said with great regret: "Eldest sister, why didn't I meet you earlier? I've paid a deposit here. ”

"That's right." The proprietress couldn't help but show a deep sense of disappointment on her face.

The young man lowered his voice again and said, "Sister, to be honest, I took a fancy to this house from the intermediary, but I don't want them to earn the intermediary fee......

The proprietress smiled, looked at him "charmingly", and said, "So you want to come and find the landlord to trade directly, right?" ”

"yes, that's exactly what I thought." The young man smiled and said, "Eldest sister, if you can match me up, I will be indispensable for your benefits." ”

The proprietress seemed to be a little moved, and then said with some unease: "When the time comes, you won't cross the river and tear down the bridge again and leave me alone, right?" ”

"How could that be?" The young man patted his chest and swore solemnly: "If I buy this house in the future, how can everyone look up and look down to see it?" Eldest sister, if you don't feel at ease, I'll give you a hundred yuan first, and then give you another hundred after the matter is completed. With that, he took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket.

The proprietress straightened her eyes at first sight. She only earns twenty or thirty yuan by selling newspapers, cigarettes and drinks here for a day, but now she can earn two hundred yuan with just a few hands, how can she not be happy? She was afraid that the young man in front of her would regret it, so she hurriedly grabbed the 100 yuan bill in her hand, and carefully checked it for a long time, and after confirming that it was real money, she smiled with a smile on her face: "Hehe, you are looking for me to find the right person." If you go directly to the door and don't talk about it, you may even attract trouble! ”

"Oh? What's going on? Hearing this, the young man asked with some curiosity, but a trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in a flash, and no one noticed.

"The original owner of this house was Uncle Li, who was the most amiable and helpful, and the neighbors got along very well......

Listening to the proprietress babbling about these old events, the young man frowned slightly, but he didn't interrupt, but listened patiently.

"Uncle Li's son is the most uncompetitive, all day long with the gangsters on the street, fighting, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, there is nothing that will not be, if you have no money, you will ask Uncle Li for it, if you don't want it, you will beat people, and once you beat Uncle Li out of the door in the middle of the night. In the cold winter, the weather was cold. Do you think it's a human thing? I see, Uncle Li was angry with his disobedient and unfilial son......"

"In recent days, it seems to have been rented to someone else. This man is so vicious that I wanted to go to their house yesterday to borrow a toilet for it, and it has always been like this before. Who knew that the hairy monster not only didn't allow me to go, but also pushed me, almost didn't push me to fall and fight. This guy who has been cut a thousand times and has no ** son has no son, I don't think he is a good thing, he closes the door all day long, and he doesn't know what shady things he is doing inside. Two days ago, I heard a little girl crying......"

The young man's expression did not change on the surface, but deep down he seemed to have set off a storm. Although the proprietress said that there was no logic, and it was mixed with extremely strong personal likes and dislikes, the information revealed in it was enough to make him feel that he did not run in vain today.

The proprietress was scolding in relief, and before she finished speaking, she saw the young man turn around and leave without saying a word, she hurriedly shouted: "Hey, I haven't told you about Uncle Li's son's current residence, don't you want to hear it?" ”

"If you don't listen, I won't buy the house." The young man said without looking back.

"Not buying?" The proprietress obviously didn't expect the young man to say this, so she was stunned, and only after a moment was she stunned: "What about my house?" Do you buy it or not? ”

The young man waved his hand, but he didn't even stop.

The proprietress was very remorseful, and thought that what she said scared the other party and dispelled the idea of buying a house, causing her to "lose" another hundred yuan in vain. I didn't say so much if I knew it, I really fucking said too much, and when she thought of this, she couldn't wait to slap her ears.

Suddenly, she remembered something again, and shouted at the top of her voice, "Hey, newspaper, you haven't paid for the newspaper yet!" ”

Originally, she had already received a hundred yuan from the other party, and she didn't want to accept the newspaper money, but when she thought that there was still a hundred yuan to earn, she even felt pain in her heart, and of course she would not easily let go of a newspaper money.

The young man had already walked more than ten meters away, and when he heard the words, he suddenly turned around, raised his fingers, and a one-yuan coin suddenly spun up, crossed a staggering arc in mid-air, and flew over a distance of more than ten meters, "Qiang! With a sound, it fell into the box of change on the newsstand of the proprietress accurately. Because of the spinning force of the coin itself, the coin in the basket when it touches it, it immediately turns horizontally and spins away, and does not splash out, but stops after a few turns, which is indeed a miraculous skill.

The proprietress was so dumbfounded that she forgot to say anything for a while.

The young man smiled at her and said, "No need to look for it. ”

Looking at the back of the young man gradually moving away, it took a long time for the proprietress to come back to her senses, and then she muttered with some surprise: "It's really strange, Xiu'e and their house are obviously rented out, why do they have to sell it again?" ”
