Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 2 Back to 2013
"Wangwangwang...wangwangwang..."

Along with the sound of dogs barking, Wu Yuansheng's consciousness gradually came to his senses.

"Where is this place? Why does it look so dark, with no light at all?"

"Didn't I suddenly faint while digging for copper coins? Is it night now?"

"But where did the barking of the dogs come from? There are no dogs in the garbage dump!"

"No, I seem to be lying on the bed!"

"If it were lying in a dirt dump, there would be dirt on the ground."

After being woken up, Wu Yuansheng thought of a lot at once!
But now, he clearly felt that the place where he was lying was flat and covered with a sheet.

After feeling around his body for a while, he found a mobile phone not far from his left shoulder. He touched it and picked it up.

"This doesn't seem to be the mobile phone I use now. Isn't it a second-hand smartphone I bought? I still watch short videos in my spare time."

This phone is like an old phone, an old version of a phone.

This was Wu Yuansheng’s first feeling after touching the mobile phone.

Then he pressed the keypad on the phone with his hand, and as he pressed, the screen of the phone lit up.

Some of the information displayed above stunned him for a while.

“2013年7月27号，星期六，4：34。”

"Isn't this phone broken? But where am I now? Is there anyone around? There is a bed here, it should be in a room. I'd better turn on the light and take a look."

Thinking of this, Wu Yuansheng sat up from the bed. Under the weak light of the mobile phone screen, he found a wire box switch on the wall near the door in the room.

When he pressed the switch, the light inside the house turned on. It was a pole light tube about 90 centimeters long.

After getting used to the sudden dazzling light for a while, he began to take in his surroundings.

This is a single room that looks both familiar and a little strange.

The rough lime-painted roof and walls have peeled off in some places, exposing the sand inside.

There was a bed of about 1 meters in the middle of the room, which was where he was lying just now.

The bed was covered with a square sheet of red and blue old coarse cloth, with a folding fan, a pack of cigarettes (there was a lighter on the cigarette), and a few summer clothes placed on it.

There is a desk near the door.There is a large plastic water cup, a bottle of shampoo, a roll of paper, toothpaste, toothbrush and other daily necessities on it.

There is a wooden stool about 50 cm under the desk.

There was a wire rope stretched between the two walls on the other side of the window, and some clothes were hung on hangers.

"This place seems to be the rental house I lived in ten years ago."

"Isn't this house demolished? Why did I come back to live in it?"

"Am I dreaming? But if it's a dream, how could it be so real?"

Wu Yuansheng walked to the bed, picked up the cigarettes and lighter on the bed, looked at the cigarette, and found that it was still the familiar old Baitiao.

He lit a cigarette and started smoking. The real feeling made him finally sure that he was not dreaming.

I really went back ten years ago.

His hands were shaking, and he couldn't control the excitement in his heart, even though he tried hard to restrain it.

He remembers that he only lived here for a year and a half because it was designated as a demolition zone.Not long after, the houses in this area were expropriated and demolished.

It wasn't until the cigarette butt burned to the end, his hand accidentally touched it and was burned, and he felt the pain that he woke up from his distracted state.

Wu Yuansheng feels that he is in good condition now, and he no longer has the fatigue that he felt when he closed his eyes and fell asleep when he was digging for copper coins.

He picked up the phone and looked at it again, confirming that it was an old-fashioned candy bar Gionee phone he had used.

He remembered that this mobile phone seemed to be a very cheap second-hand mobile phone he bought on November last year.

After looking through his phone's address book and text messages, he threw the phone on the bed. Although he was awake, he still planned to lie down for a while.

After walking back to the electrical box on the wall by the door and turning off the light switch, he found that it was already dawn.

At this time, the alarm on his cell phone rang on the bed, which should have reminded him to get up, wash up, eat and go to work.

Walking to the bed, he picked up the phone and turned off the alarm.

"Never mind it, I have to lie down for a while after dawn. Should I go to work or be a security guard?"

According to my past memories, I am still a security guard, and I have to go to work after breakfast soon.

But will he continue to work as a security guard?Certainly not!

Security is no longer suitable for me.Maybe in the future, when I am no longer short of money, I can experience the life of a security guard again. That would be okay.

Lying on the bed again, he felt that his spiritual platform was particularly clear now. He must have been in a "coma" caused by overwork.

"I'm overworked! I can't let myself be that tired again in this life, never again!"

"Making money is important, but in order to make money, is it worth it to sacrifice your body or life too much?"

“What’s the use of asking for money when my life is gone?”

"As the saying goes, "Blessed people don't have to be busy, but unlucky people are too busy to break their hearts!" "Sometimes it doesn't necessarily mean that the busier you are, the more you get!" "When you are busy, you have to find the right direction before you get busy. When you are busy, you can't be busy regardless of your own life! There must be a certain degree in between."

"That's fine. I'll be alone in that life and have nothing to worry about. It might be a relief to just leave like that."

"Now that I have returned to ten years ago, I must cherish this opportunity. I will quit my security job in the morning."

"Yuan Sheng, are you up? If you are, come out and help me!"

When he was thinking about quitting his security job in the morning, a familiar yet unfamiliar man's voice came from outside the door.

"Just wait a moment and I'll come out."

He rolled over from the bed and sat up sideways, put on his shoes, walked to the door and opened the door of the rental house.

"Aren't you already up at this time? Aren't you going to work today? If you go to work, you might be late."

As soon as he opened the door, a man in his 30s with dark skin standing at the door said to him.

Looking at this man, Wu Yuansheng already remembered who he was: Hei Lei, who specializes in recycling all kinds of used goods.

For example, old refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, computers, old air conditioners and other home appliances, as well as old electric cars, motorcycles, tricycles, and other scrap metal and other items that can be resold for money.

In other words, Hei Lei is a recycling person. He usually rides a three-wheeled motorcycle and walks through the streets to collect some things.

The bicycle that Wu Yuansheng recently rode to work was bought cheaply from him.

There are very few people with the surname Hei, so he remembers it clearly.

"I lost my job last night and now I have to start looking for a job again."

"That's it! No matter how much you change your job, you won't be able to save much money even if you work as a security guard for a year."

"Stop talking about this, what do you want me to do for you?"

"Help me move a freezer to the tricycle. My wife has sent the children back to her hometown in the past two days and she hasn't come yet."

Hei Lei said this, and Wu Yuansheng also remembered that those who do recycling are usually husband and wife, each riding a car to collect things.

After helping Hei Lei move the freezer onto the tricycle, he returned to the room and picked up toothbrushes, towels, wash basins and other washing supplies, and went out to the public bathroom to wash up.

Wu Yuansheng currently lives in the courtyard of a car battery factory.

He lived in a single room on the first floor of a two-story dormitory building.

This single room was allocated as a welfare house to the previous factory workers. Later, when the workers no longer lived in it, it was temporarily rented to him at a low price.

The house was rented here because he saw an advertisement for a single room for rent and called to find it. Otherwise, he would not have been able to find this location.

Hei Lei lives next door to him, and he also rents a house from another person. However, the house he rents is larger, with two rooms connected, and a small kitchen outside.

They are sort of neighbors.

In the two-story dormitory building, except for Wu Yuansheng and Hei Lei, whose room doors opened in the same direction, the doors of some other people's rooms opened in the opposite direction.

In addition to the two-story dormitory building, there is also a warehouse opposite. The warehouse is very high and has only one floor.

However, the warehouse has long been out of use, and it was not allocated as welfare housing to people in the factory. It was rented cheaply by people in the community to a tofu seller.

There is a small canteen covering an area of ​​about 100 square meters between the two-story dormitory building and the warehouse opposite.

This small canteen only has one floor, and it is no longer in use. It has also been rented by people in the community at a low price to a dog collector and seller.

The welfare house, small canteen, and warehouse almost form a three-heyuan-style structure.

Of course, the three of them are not completely connected. There is a public toilet and a woodshed set up in between.

The place where he washes now is in the public toilet.

This is the environment where Wu Yuansheng currently lives. There are four households in this small place.

Among them, the warehouse rented by the tofu seller opposite is the largest and has the most residents.

They have a small workshop for making tofu.

In order to survive, I start making tofu at around four o'clock every night. I can be considered the kind of person who gets up early and stays in the dark.

The old couple, their son, daughter-in-law, grandsons and the whole family live and work here.

The couple who collect and sell dogs live here, and their children are already in junior high school and high school.

The dog barking he heard in the morning must have come from the dogs of this dog collector and seller.

This family collects and sells dogs, but they do not raise dogs. They mainly collect local dogs for food.

In their eyes, the purchasing price of those wolf dogs and golden retrievers is not as good as that of native dogs, because the meat of native dogs is more delicious.

After washing, Wu Yuansheng took the things he used back to his rental house.

I picked up my phone and checked the time again. It was almost 7 o'clock.

Let’s go eat first!After dinner, I quit my job.
