After saying hello to the old man, He Hua took the wash basin from Chu Yu's hand. The old man said to He Hua: "If it weren't for this young man, I don't know when I would have come over."
After finishing, the old man turned to Chu Yu and said thank you again.
Chu Yu shook his head and said no. He Hua looked at Chu Yu at this time and nodded slightly to Chu Chu. Chu Yu also smiled and signaled. After He Hua turned around, Chu Yu looked around. There were several elevated buildings around, and there were people tied to them.
Some wires, and some colorful clothes hanging on the wires.
After looking around, Chu Yu turned to the old man and asked, "Grandma, where is the toilet here?"
"In the northwest corner." The old man looked at Chu Yu and said, "How about I take you there?"
Chu Yu shook his head: "I'll look for it myself." After saying that, Chu Yu walked towards the northwest. Looking at Chu Yu's back, the old man didn't think much about it, he just said that young people nowadays like to help others.
Not much fun left.
Out of the sight of the old man, Chu Yu told Zheng Duancheng the information here. After learning that He Hua was here, Zheng Duancheng asked Chu Yu to continue to follow and keep in touch at any time, while he first found a place to pay condescending attention.
Follow the movement outside.
After hanging up Zheng Duancheng's call, Chu Yu felt a little helpless - everyone living here knew each other, how could he stay here alone without being discovered quickly? But there was no way now. If he wanted to find Ji Qi, he had to follow He
Hua, but when will this damn Ji Qi come? Now, Chu Yu is very distrustful of Zheng Duancheng's intelligence. How could there be any intersection between Ji Qi and He Hua?
But complaining is a complaint, and Chu Yu still had to find a way to get close to He Hua. After finding the toilet, Chu Yu took a moment and continued walking to the place where clothes were dried. The old man had already left, but He Hua still stayed here——
There are mountains of clothes in front of He Hua, and He Hua is helping others wash clothes.
After thinking for a while, Chu Yu walked towards He Hua.
After standing next to He Hua, Chu Yu looked at He Hua and asked, "Where is Grandma Zhang?"
Hearing Chu Yu's words, He Hua raised her head and looked at Chu Yu: "She went to prepare dinner." After saying that, He Hua buried her head and washed clothes again.
Chu Yu squatted down next to He Hua and asked, "Why are you washing so many clothes?"
"I have nothing to do when I'm free." He Hua said without raising his head: "And I can make money doing laundry."
"Earn money by washing clothes?" Hearing He Hua's answer, Chu Yu was stunned for a moment: "How much can you earn by washing clothes in a day?"
"Not much." Seeing Chu Yu ask this, He Hua was a little embarrassed: "Such a lot of clothes, only thirty yuan."
"Thirty yuan?" Chu Yu frowned: "Is it enough?"
"Why is it not enough?" He Hua laughed: "You don't look like a Dongcheng person, do you?" He Hua said for a moment: "No, you don't look like a federal person, why are you here?" She said without waiting.
When Chu Yu spoke, He Hua continued: "By the way, are you here to invest?"
"Investment?" Chu Yu didn't understand He Hua's words, but he still nodded: "Yes, that's why I came here to take a look."
"It turns out that the rumors are true." He Hua said while washing clothes on her hands and slowed down a lot: "Two days ago, people from the government said that this place would be renovated and they would make arrangements for us then. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.
"
Seeing the innocent and bright smile on He Hua's face, Chu Yu felt unbearable in his heart, but when it came to this, he couldn't change his words, so he continued the lie he had told before: "The government will develop this land soon.
, so don’t be anxious.”
"What are we going to build here then?" He Hua tilted her head and glanced at Chu Yu and said, "Is it like the one in Dongcheng? I see many high-rise buildings with lights on at night."
Chu Yu hummed, "That's what it was built like." Chu Yu said and looked around: "Where do you live? How big of a room do you live in now? In the future, the government may compensate you for a house twice the size."
"Really?" He Hua looked surprised: "If that's really the case, that would be great."
"Dongcheng is an old city. It is too backward and damages the image of Wanfuzhou, so the government decided to renovate this place." Chu Yu said and looked at He Hua: "Are you living here alone?"
He Hua nodded: "I am an orphan. My parents are both soldiers, but they died in the war."
"If this is the case, the government will arrange your life." Chu Yu frowned: "Your parents work for the Federation, and the Federation has the obligation to take care of you."
"They took care of me." He Hua said with a wry smile: "They arranged a job for me and gave me five hundred yuan in living expenses every month."
"Then why are you doing this now?" Chu Yu asked somewhat puzzled.
"I didn't like the job they assigned me, so I came out to live on my own." He Hua said and laughed, as if everything was not difficult: "Although the money they gave me each month was not much, but I
I have saved everything, thinking that when I save enough capital in the future, I will go out and do some small business."
Chu Yu nodded: "Your plan is good. Only by going out can you see the broader sky."
"Yeah, but I've figured it out a long time ago. Poor people have worries about not having money, and rich people also have worries about having money. As long as they live happily every day, it will be fine."
Listening to He Hua's words, Chu Yu nodded, and many thoughts came to his mind - when he was on Rainbow Island, wasn't he the same as He Hua now? He was a man, and He Hua, a girl, was still so optimistic.
, Chu Yu admired He Hua from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay, okay, I won't tell you anymore. I have to wash the clothes quickly. If I can't finish the laundry, I won't have time to eat at night."
"Don't have time to eat?" Chu Yu was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"
"I have to work tonight."
Seeing what He Hua said, Chu Yu nodded: "Then I won't disturb you. I will be here for inspections in the past two days..." Chu Yu said and looked around: "I don't have any acquaintances here, so...
If I come down to investigate, I hope you can cooperate."
"Okay, no problem." He Hua nodded. After Chu Yu left, He Hua put down the work in her hands and looked up at Chu Yu's back: "This man is so young, and he came to renovate this place? Really?
It's a bit strange." Although she had some doubts in her heart, He Hua didn't think too deeply - she was too busy, and in her opinion, no matter what Chu Yu's background was, it had nothing to do with her.
After leaving He Hua, Chu Yu did not go far away. When he was following others, he learned how to hide his figure when he was very young. He hid in the dark and stared at He Hua's every move. Chu Yu
Unexpectedly, the stare lasted for a whole day. During this day, he didn't drink a drop of water. He watched He Hua wash clothes for others, cook, sew clothes, clean up his ventilated tent, watch He Hua smile happily, and look at her
To help the old man, all He Hua's actions are under his surveillance.
In this day, Zheng Duancheng contacted Chu Yu twice. Zheng Duancheng asked Chu Yu about He Hua's situation. Chu Yu told the truth. Later, Chu Yu asked Zheng Duancheng when Ji Qi was. It all passed in one day.
"I'll probably come tonight." Zheng Duancheng explained: "Ji Qi comes here these two days every month. There should be no exceptions."
"What if he doesn't come?" Chu Yu asked worriedly: "I think He Hua is quite good. Is there any error in the information?"
"Don't worry, the information won't be wrong, just keep an eye on it."
Zheng Duancheng was sure, and Chu Yu didn't say anything else. He was now hiding on the iron pillars and beams above the abandoned factory, nearly ten meters away from below. It was already night, and some lights were on below. Chu Yu looked at He
From the direction of the flower tent, you can clearly see the situation inside.
——After He Hua washed her clothes today, she did not mend her clothes like yesterday. Instead, she went outside and bought some vegetables. Now He Hua is cooking and has already fried two dishes, one meat and one
Su, after cooking the meal, He Hua did not eat it immediately, not knowing what she was waiting for.
Looking at the food below, although it was very simple fried bean sprouts and spicy shredded pork, Chu Yu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
After cooking, He Hua lay down on her little bed, picked up the book on her pillow and started reading. However, judging from the way she looked at the time, she was not reading seriously. Time passed by minute by second.
, Chu Yu, who was staying above, saw that He Hua still had no intention of eating, and felt happy. Looking at He Hua's current appearance, it was obvious that he was waiting for someone.
Who are you waiting for? Who will come here tonight? Will it be Ji Qi? Chu Yu has some expectations in his heart.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the person He Hua was waiting for had not yet arrived. He Hua, who seemed a little sad, simply took a few bites of food and then lay down in bed with her clothes fully clothed. Although it was already March, the federal government had not yet arrived.
The weather is still a bit cold. Chu Yu is a practitioner and is not afraid of the cold. However, as an ordinary person, He Hua is only covered with a quilt. The quilt should not be warm. Looking at He Hua tossing and turning below, Chu Yu knows that she
Haven't fallen asleep yet.
When it was nearly twelve o'clock, the entire abandoned factory became pitch black. Occasionally, one or two women's low-pitched moans could be heard. Just when Chu Yu thought that he would wait in vain again tonight, Zheng Duancheng came from the headset.
Voice: "Chu Yu, are you there?"
"Here." Chu Yu lowered his voice and replied, "What's wrong?"
"Attention, someone is coming." After Zheng Duancheng said that, he hung up the headset. Chu Yu braced himself and looked around, but the surroundings were quiet and nothing was found. Less than a minute later, Chu Yu discovered a black streak.
film.
The man came outside He Hua's tent. Because it was too dark, Chu Yu could only see a rough outline. But Chu Yu knew that this man was here to find He Hua. After standing outside the tent for a while, Chu Yu saw
Just when he thought he would enter the tent, the man suddenly turned around and left. Seeing the man leaving suddenly, Chu Yu thought for a while, quietly stood up from the counter, and followed the black shadow towards the outside of the factory.
After walking out of the factory, the figure of the man sped up a lot. With the help of the moonlight and the light of the street lamp in the distance, Chu Yu watched the man hide his figure and followed him. At this moment, Zheng Duancheng came from his headset.
The voice said: "It's Ji Qi, Chu Yu, it's up to you."
