Chapter 25 Information about the neighbors below the fifth floor
It's not that I don't want to talk to Tang Liu, but I'm a little confused now and don't know what to say to Tang Liu.
The weird black lines that appeared on Tang Liu's arm were exactly the same as the weird black lines that appeared on his body in my dream last night. Does that mean that the dream I had last night was actually a dream that came into reality?
The ugly little girl next door... Uncle Huang guarding the security booth...
When I think of the scene in my dream last night, I can't help but tremble a little!
When I was dreaming, I didn’t feel any fear, or even the slightest emotional fluctuation, but now when I think about it, I feel a little nervous!
Are the neighbors living in that weird apartment not normal people?
After taking the bus back to the city, I stayed at Tang Liu's small shabby shop, while Tang Liu went to find the coffin shop owner to settle accounts with a raised eyebrow. The old man in a singlet shirt introduced Tang Liu to the business.
Tang Liu wanted to know if there was any benefit in taking in the hunchbacked old lame man!
Not long after, Tang Liu came back, his face glowing red. It looked like he had extorted a lot of benefits from the old man in T-shirt, and he was clamoring to treat me to a big dinner.
At noon, we were drinking beer and eating skewers at a street food stall. Tang Liu talked to me about his miserable life in their family. According to what he meant, if his grandfather hadn’t treated him
If it was not bad, he would have thought he was picked up by the Tang family.
"Old cousin, what I told you is true. I do have split personality, but this kind of situation rarely occurs!"
After drinking a few bottles of beer, Tang Liu became a little drunk and said with emotion: "I heard that when I was born, I should have had a twin brother, but when my mother was in labor, she only gave birth to me.
My family members said that I was too domineering and deprived my brother of all his nutrition when he was in my mother's womb, and my brother's wronged soul resided in my body..."
"Because of this, I have been treated as a monster by many people in my family since I was a child, and I felt quite aggrieved. Later, when I was fifteen years old, my split personality appeared for the first time, and that night I
I punished the cousins who often bullied me, and the punishment was a bit harsh, which resulted in several cousins becoming disabled. This was also the main reason why I was kicked out of the house..."
"Of course, in the words of my old man, this can be regarded as a kind of experience for me! He showed me the way and said that the apartment building on Xiangyang Street in Su City was the turning point of my destiny and eliminated my symptoms of schizophrenia.
The solution lies in this apartment building. Later, the old man told me, cousin, you are my noble person and the key to eliminating my symptoms of split personality..."
Tang Liu talked a lot and looked sincere, but I always felt that the secrets in Tang Liu were not as simple as he said.
However, grandpa said that Tang Liu can be trusted. Even if he has some weird secrets, it shouldn't be harmful to me!
"There seem to be a lot of secrets hidden in that apartment building!"
I said softly: "Whether it is Mr. Huang, the old security guard, or the neighbor of 504, or the widow Ninth Sister of 501, they are not normal people, right? Why did my parents build this apartment building in the first place? What did my parents do back then?
Passed away? Also, what kind of person was my grandfather?"
I don’t believe that Tang Liu really didn’t know anything about these issues!
Tang Liu's fat face was a little tangled. After drinking a large glass of beer, he said to me with a wry smile: "Old cousin, it's not that I don't want to tell you. There are some things that I know, but I can't say them! There are some things that I don't know at all.
I don’t know. I can only tell you that if I tell you the things I know, my end will be very miserable..."
"I caused a lot of trouble in Shangjing back then. Not only my cousins, but some guys in Shangjing also hated me to death. If I hadn't secretly sent me out of Shangjing, I would have said
Maybe the grass on my grave is three feet high now! This apartment in Sioux City is my only safest hiding place. Once I am kicked out of the apartment building, believe it or not, you will see me walking across the street in a few days.
News on the street..."
"You are the landlord of the apartment building. Those neighbors are all tenants. Even if they are weird, they will not dare to hurt you easily! As for your parents and your grandfather, wait until you meet your grandfather to ask about this kind of thing.
Well, I really don’t know..."
Having said that, I will not continue to ask further questions. It would be a waste of time to ask further.
In the evening, Tang Liu and I returned to the apartment building. When we passed the security booth, the old security guard Mr. Huang greeted me with a smile and handed me a piece of paper. On this piece of paper, the fifth floor of the apartment building was recorded.
The names of the residents below, their backgrounds, jobs, etc. are densely packed and detailed. However, there is no information on the residents above the fifth floor!
Tang Liu and I were both a little stunned, looking at Uncle Huang in confusion, not understanding why he gave me this.
Uncle Huang pushed the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers and said to me with a smile: "From now on, if you go to school and live in Suzhou City and are unfamiliar with the place, if you encounter any trouble, you can fight with these neighbors.
Say hello and ask them for help. Although some of them have weird tempers, most of them are warm-hearted and will definitely try their best to help those who can..."
If it were before, after listening to Uncle Huang's words, I might feel warm in my heart.
but now……
Looking at Tang Liu's twitching face, you can tell how outrageous what this Uncle Huang said is!
Not to mention anything else, it’s just the ugly little girl in 504 next door to my room. What help can I get from her? Can she pretend to be a ghost in the middle of the night and scare people?
Of course, I couldn't take people's kindness lightly. I thanked Uncle Huang sincerely and asked casually: "Where are the neighbors above the fifth floor? There is no information about them on this!"
Hearing this, Tang Liu's face was slapped hard again, and he turned his head and looked aside, as if he didn't hear what I said.
Uncle Huang responded with a smile: "There are fewer neighbors above the fifth floor, and they are not easy to get along with. If you encounter trouble and need their help, it may be counterproductive and may cause even bigger troubles...
…Of course, if the trouble you encounter is too big to solve, they will definitely help, even if they don’t want to!”
