Bai Lidu was groggy and didn't know how long he slept, and when he woke up, he found that it was already dark, and he actually slept for an afternoon, got up and sat up from the sofa, and found that it was raining outside, the rooftop had been wet, and the quilt was damp, although Bai Lidu took antipyretic medicine and sweated, but he still slept on the rooftop in this clammy and cold weather, and the effect of the medicine was all canceled out, and now what he most wanted to do was to take a hot shower and change into close-fitting clothes.

looked at the mobile phone and found that there were a few missed calls, there was a landline from the grocery store downstairs, it should be Brother Zhang who told him to go down to eat, and there was a phone call from home in the northeast, which should have been called by my mother, and I would dial back after eating for a while, and there were two unfamiliar numbers, which might be harassing calls. Bai Lidu got up and straightened his hair, and took out a backpack containing a game helmet from under the sofa, this game helmet is the most valuable item at the moment, after the unpleasantness of the morning interview, Bai Lidu is also worried that his helmet will be targeted.

When Bai Lidu went down to the sixth floor, he found that the words "debt, repay money" were written in red paint on both sides of the door of the room where he once lived, and the girl who opened the door for him last night was standing in front of the door, holding the key in her hand.

"What's wrong? What happened? Bai Lidu asked as he stepped closer.

"I don't know, I just came back from work and the lock was blocked," the girl replied.

Bai Lidu faintly felt that this matter might be related to him, but he didn't owe anyone any debt, could it be ......?

Bai Lidu remembered that there was a street near Shipai Village nearby, and there was a lock booth on the side of the road, so I don't know if anyone could find someone to open the lock at this time.

"Leave the lock-picking to me, you wait here for me to come back," Bai Lidu walked downstairs after saying that.

When he came to the grocery store downstairs, Zhang Xuecheng seemed to be waiting for Bai Lidu to come down, and hurriedly said:

"Xiaobai, come and have dinner, I'll keep it for you, it's still hot."

"Brother Zhang, you wait for me for a while, I'll go find someone to pick the lock" Bai Lidu just turned around and turned back:

"Keep this bag here for safekeeping, please take care of it for me."

"Don't worry, go and get back to ...... quickly"

Bai Lidu walked along the path of the urban village to the street at the edge of the village, under the dim light, Bai Lidu always felt as if someone was following him, and soon came to the roadside lock repair booth, the lock repair master was ready to collect the stall and go home, Bai Lidu stepped forward to talk about the situation, the lock repair master gave a lock 100 yuan, the price of 200 yuan for the lock, Bai Lidu now has no money, but gritted his teeth or agreed, after repairing the lock, he can borrow a few hundred yuan from Brother Zhang to deal with the emergency.

On the way back with the lock repair master, Bai Lidu felt that someone was indeed following him, and this person who followed him had been squatting near the lock repair booth to smoke a cigarette just now, and there was a pile of cigarette butts at his feet, so he was remembered.

Walking not far from the building where he lived, Bai Lidu saw Brother Zhang standing at the door from a distance waiting for him to go back, but then he saw a person dressed in black who was like a bastard walking towards him not far away, Bai Lidu knew that something was wrong, and while slowing down his pace, he quickly explained to the master who repaired the lock, pointed him to the building where he lived, and told him to go to the sixth floor, where his girlfriend was waiting.

At this time, the mobile phone in Bai Lidu's pocket vibrate, and the person who walked over opposite was holding the mobile phone and staring at himself while making calls, and the person who had been following him was also getting closer.

Bai Lidu knew that it should be the interview in the morning that offended the captain Xu of the Hengyuan team, and the other party didn't seem to plan to let him go easily, he splashed paint and blocked keyholes, and the two horses were still waiting for him outside for so long, it seems that a fat beating is indispensable, but Bai Lidu is not an easy person.

At this time, there happened to be a small alley on his side, and Bai Lidu ran into the alley, and the two people who were about to form a circle around Bai Lidu saw this situation, and immediately chased after him, so a scene of escape was staged in this crowded urban village.

Bai Lidu's body was still feverish, and he hadn't eaten enough for several days, so as soon as he ran, he found that he was weak and out of breath, if he wasn't familiar with the roads in the urban village, I am afraid he would have been caught a long time ago, Bai Lidu ran in front, and the two people behind him began to chase and scold:

"Little rabbit, still run away, wait for Lao Tzu to catch you and discount your legs!"

Bai Lidu knew that he couldn't be caught by them, if the other party really killed himself and crippled himself, there was nowhere to reason, this was a little distracted, trouble came, and suddenly an aunt in front of the family went out with a basin of water and splashed it, Bai Lidu couldn't hide anymore, this basin of water was not wasted at all, it was all splashed on Bai Lidu's body from head to toe, Bai Lidu couldn't slow down, and picked off the vegetable leaves on his face while running, and his hands were also sticky, it should be dishwashing water.

The two people chasing behind didn't get any benefit, the one who chased in front slipped on his foot and came to gnaw on the mud, and the one behind was also tripped by the one in front, Bai Lidu took the opportunity of their fall, turned a few turns, and completely threw them off.

Now in this situation, I can't go back to the place where I live immediately, in case I get involved with the girl who lives on the sixth floor or even if I involve Brother Zhang, Bai Lidu can't accept it, so Bai Lidu walked through the urban village to another neighboring street, on the opposite side of the street is a high-end community, and on his side is a dirty urban village, Bai Lidu is already soaked, blown by the wind, and suddenly feels cold to the bone, pedestrians passing by the road see Bai Lidu's appearance, they are far away, Bai Lidu took out his mobile phone and wiped the screen, So I called home:

"Hey, Mom...... It's me."

"It's good, the company has a lot of things to do at the end of the year, and I can't go home to spend the Spring Festival with you and my father."

"There is no shortage of money, you just got a salary increase at the end of the year, you can rest assured"

After hanging up the phone at home, Bai Lidu called his sister again:

"Ahem, sister, it's me, Lidu, ahem......"

"It's okay, I just didn't close the window when I slept, and I caught a cold"

"Sister, I can't go back during the Spring Festival, so my parents rely on you to take care of me."

"Well, I really don't have any money on hand, sister, you can support it, and I'll pay you back when I pay my salary."

"Yes, it's the same card number from last time."

Not long after hanging up my sister's phone, Bai Lidu's mobile phone received a prompt from the bank to the account, and my sister transferred 2,000 yuan to herself this time, although these 2,000 yuan are not much, but it is half a month's salary, Bai Lidu then passed by an ATM of a bank and withdrew 500 yuan.

Bai Lidu originally wanted to find a place to take a bath, but when he thought that he had walked so far away, he didn't have any dry clothes to change into, so he walked back to his residence after taking a bath. Thinking that he was already soaking wet anyway, he simply didn't go anywhere, and found a leeward bus stop sign, where Bai Lidu sat and watched TV, which was still live about the game of Moon Wars.

"Mom, this uncle is so pitiful" Bai Lidu was staring at the TV when he heard a little boy's voice coming.

"If you don't study hard in the future, you will be a beggar like him when you grow up, don't look at it, get in the car quickly" Bai Lidu smiled bitterly, he couldn't imagine that he was reduced to the street and was treated as a beggar.

But I don't blame others for treating him as a beggar, now Bai Lidu's hair is dirty and messy, his face is still oily, his clothes and pants are wet, and there are grains of rice on them, and there is a smell of water all over his body, which is worse than a beggar.

I don't know who put a leftover fast food bucket in front of Bai Lidu, there are two chicken nuggets and a few fries in it, although Bai Lidu is still hungry, but he will not eat other people's leftovers.

After a while, a few coins were thrown in, and then paper money began to be thrown in, people came and went in front of the bus stop, Bai Lidu sat there, and the bucket in front of him was gradually filled with all kinds of colorful loose money, seeing that a gust of wind was about to blow the money away, Bai Lidu reached out and pressed the money in the bucket down.

"Isn't this Bridle? How did you get mixed up like this! "Sure enough, I was afraid of something, and I actually met an acquaintance.

Bai Lidu looked up and saw that it was Sun Meili, a colleague from the previous company, who was holding a man's arm and just walked off the bus.

"Ahem, this ...... I said I'm watching TV here, do you believe me? Bai Lidu's hand was still stretched there, and it was not appropriate to withdraw it at this time, and it was not appropriate to continue to put it on a bucket of change.

"Haha, watch TV, don't be hard-mouthed, husband, do you smell a smell, let's go back quickly" After Sun Meili finished speaking, she took the man and turned around and walked away.

"Who's the one who asked for food?" Only to hear the man ask

"It's my former colleague who was fired and went to the street to beg, I heard that he is still an alumnus of your university!" Bai Lidu could feel the man glance back at him again.

Bai Lidu didn't bother to explain, seeing that the time was almost 11 o'clock, and it should be safe to go back, so he picked up the fast food bucket full of change and walked back.

While walking, I sorted out the change, a total of eighty-two yuan and seven cents, and someone actually gave a twenty-yuan banknote, it seems that my appearance is really miserable enough.

Back to the place not far from the place where he lived, Bai Lidu looked around and quickly came to Brother Zhang's grocery store, Zhang Xuecheng saw Bai Lidu being chased away before, and knew that something might be wrong, so he didn't dare to call to ask, this time he saw Bai Lidu come back, and he didn't ask much, and brought out the dinner left for Bai Lidu, Bai Lidu gobbled up dinner, and then relieved:

"Brother Zhang, after I left just now, no one came to make trouble, right?" Bai Lidu asked

"No one is making trouble, there are two bastards who wandered around the door for a while and then left, did you provoke someone?" Zhang Xuecheng asked worriedly

Bai Lidu told Zhang Xuecheng about going to the Hengyuan team for an interview during the day, and Zhang Xuecheng was also very angry after hearing it:

"These rich second generations, there is no good thing, if they come to make trouble again, I will call the police"

Seeing that his helmet was still there, Bai Lidu left the grocery store and planned to go upstairs. When I climbed to the sixth floor, I saw that the door lock had been changed, and the red paint on the wall had been removed. Bai Lidu went to the rooftop to get a few dry clothes, took the plastic storage box, went downstairs again to the sixth floor, and finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

After a while, the door opened a crack, and the inside was safed with chains, and the girl saw Bai Lidu's miserable appearance, and her body was sour, and she put down the chains with a few clothes in her hand, and let Bai Lidu enter the room directly.

"I want to take a shower and change clothes at your place, and thank you for the storage box," Bai Lidu put the storage box on the shelf at the door.

The girl covered her nose and nodded dumbfounded.

Bai Lidu rushed into the toilet, quickly took a shower, changed into clean clothes and walked out of the toilet.

"You helped me find someone to pick the lock, why did it become like this when I came back?" The girl asked, puzzled.

"I should apologize to you first, the people who splashed paint on the wall and blocked your door lock came at me, they surrounded me just now, and when I ran away, an aunt splashed a basin of dishwashing water on me, and sneez......ed," Bai Lidu explained embarrassedly, and sneezed loudly.

"Haha, it's funny, you must have a cold, sit down, I'll make you a cup of brown sugar ginger tea" After speaking, the girl went to make a cup of ginger tea with hot water for Bai Lidu.

The girl's smile and laughter just now made Bai Lidu a little dazed, and after sitting down on the sofa in the living room, Bai Lidu took a sip of ginger tea in his hand, only to feel a warm current flowing in his body.

"Officially acquaintance, my name is Zhou Ruolan, and my friends call me Alan" The girl generously stretched out her right hand.

"Chinese name: Bai Lidu, English name: Li Du Bai (Li Du Bai)" Bai Lidu also stretched out his right hand and teased his name.

"I can't see it, you're still a trinity of poets, poets, saints, and demons, huh? Why are your hands so hot! Zhou Ruolan reacted very quickly.

"This is three hundred yuan for locksmithing, I didn't have time to give it to the locksmith just now, you accept it, Ah ......" Bai Lidu took out the money and put it on the coffee table in front of him, turned his head and sneezed loudly.

"You're sick like this, and you still want to pay back? Besides, didn't you tell the master who repaired the lock that I was your girlfriend? ”

"Ahem, I'm afraid that the master won't believe me and won't come up to unlock you...... It's not too early, I should go up," Bai Lidu got up and was about to leave.

"Go up? Did you sleep on the rooftop last night, and you will continue to sleep tonight! Zhou Ruolan said in surprise.

"Ahem...... It's okay, I'll move in a few days when I find a new place to live."

"But it's raining outside, your body is so weak, if you are frozen for another night, it is estimated that you will hang up, just sleep on the sofa in the living room tonight" After speaking, Zhou Ruolan hugged a quilt and threw it to Bai Lidu.

Bai Lidu didn't insist any longer, covered the quilt and nestled on the sofa and soon fell asleep.

Bai Lidu had a very chaotic dream, he dreamed that he was swimming hard in the water, and then he waved his arms and flew in the sky, and when he flew, he found that he couldn't fly no matter how he waved his arms, and then he was chased by two men in black, he ran in front, and the men in black kept shooting, Bai Lidu dodged bullets while running, ran and ran, only to wake up when he felt empty under his feet, Bai Lidu found that he had fallen from the sofa to the ground, and when he looked at the time, it was already more than 9 o'clock in the morning, and there was only himself in the house, Zhou Ruolan should have gone to work, but she saw a note on the coffee table:

"Li Dubai, I'm going to work, the dirty clothes have been washed and hung on the rooftop, let's solve the breakfast by myself, and close the door when I leave."

Bai Lidu smiled, put away the note, went to the toilet to wash his face, straightened his hair, closed the door and walked out. Coming to the rooftop again, Bai Lidu saw that his dirty clothes from yesterday had been washed and dried, and his quilt and suitcase were still piled up on the sofa under the canopy, and he touched the quilt with his hand, it was still damp, although he had a good rest last night, but the fever had not completely subsided, and he still had a headache when he shook his head. It seems that we must find a place to live, and it is definitely not possible to live on the rooftop again.
