Chapter Eight Scary

"Lao Zhang, I'm going to take a look at the back."

In the office, after reading the newspaper for a while, Li Heng couldn't sit still and was going to go to the back to help those who were working in sorting and packing.

"Go on, go on, nothing happens. I will tell you if I want to go out."

In fact, he went to the back not so much to help, but because he wanted to see if he could find some treasures from the scrap pile.

Unfortunately, since he came to work here, he has been busy in the scrap pile almost every day, but he has never seen any treasures.

There are indeed useful things, but they are two different things from treasures.

It was his own fault. He only heard that in the early days of Sijiu City, almost every household could dig out some antiques or something, but he never expected that even if they didn't understand those things, they wouldn't sell them as scraps.

Bar.

This is a waste recycling station, and basically everything that comes here is real waste.

If nothing else, let’s just talk about the porcelain bowl. If you accidentally get a crack in it, is it considered a waste?

Those who have money at home may just throw it away, but now most people are ordinary people. Let alone one gap, just two or three gaps. The worst I can do is change the side when eating and use it soon. Who can just throw it away?

Yes.

And even if you really want to hunt for treasure, you shouldn’t do it here. You should go to a trust store. They collect and sell at the same time. They buy and sell second-hand goods from ordinary people’s homes. It is a place where you can really find good things, but you have to

Just understand it yourself.

He can't even hold ten knives, but he still wants to find treasures?

Bah, he doesn't recognize the good stuff when it's in front of him.

It's a pity that he doesn't know it now, and he hasn't experienced this era in his previous life. He doesn't know that a trust store is similar to a pawn shop in the past. The only difference is that here there are only dead pawns and no living pawns.

While sorting through the scrap pile and chatting with everyone, time passed quite quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work in the afternoon. After eating in the canteen, he remembered that the things he had unpacked and washed in the courtyard yesterday had not yet been collected.

He said hello to Old Man Zheng, who was about to play chess with him, and slowly walked towards the courtyard.

It was just getting dark at this time, and there were still many people walking around on the street after eating.

Although it had been ten years since he was reborn, he had only lived in the city for a few days after liberation. He was full of curiosity about everything in this era, and his eyes kept looking back and forth when walking on the road.

He found that although this era did not have the colorful neon lights of later generations, there were only dim yellow street lights, there was no busy traffic on the streets, there were not so many entertainment venues, and there were no sensual dogs and horses. Many people may still lack food and clothing, and struggle to have enough food and clothing.

Online, but everyone's face is filled with a smile from the heart, which is a happy smile.

Whenever he sees this smile, Li Heng feels that his heart, which has experienced the baptism of war, seems to have been healed, making him more and more aware of his current life.

Unknowingly, I reached the entrance of the alley of the courtyard. As soon as I turned the corner, a young man walked out of the alley, humming an unknown ditty.

When he saw Li Heng turning around, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then a look of panic appeared on his face. He quickly retreated behind his feet. He was so anxious that he even fell down.

Squat on your butt.

"Yuan...Brother Yuan, why...how did you come back?"

The look on the young man's face when he saw him, as well as his next actions, made Li Heng puzzled. However, after hearing the words in his mouth clearly, he smiled helplessly.

His smile caused the young man who had fallen to the ground to step back to stop. As if he had thought of something, he tentatively called out: "Brother Er Heng, are you Brother Er Heng?"

"I am Li Heng, who are you?"

"Huh~" Upon hearing that he had recognized the right person this time, the young man sitting on the ground was visibly relieved. He turned over and stood up, patting his butt.

"Hello, Brother Erheng, I also live in No. 5 Courtyard, in the backyard. When you came here yesterday, I was at work and not at home. My name is Xu Damao, you can just call me Damao."

"Xu Damao?" Li Heng looked at this young man who was only 17 or 18 years old, and felt suddenly. No wonder he felt familiar. It turned out to be the younger version of Xu Damao.

His long face has not changed, he still doesn't have any stubble, and his face is so tender that a pinch of it would make him lose a lot of water.

"Hello Damao, did you think you saw Xiaoyuan just now?"

Even though he recognized who he was, Li Heng's face didn't change at all and he greeted him calmly.

"Isn't it? Brother Er Heng, I really thought it was Brother Yuan that I saw, but it scared me to death." Thinking of the first sight he just saw, Xu Damao still had lingering fears.

"Haha, Xiao Yuan and I do look similar, no wonder I scare you."

In the half-dark sky, when a person who should have been dead for half a year suddenly appears in front of you, who can not be afraid?

If you watch it with a flashlight late at night, it might really scare you to death.

There was nothing he could do. He couldn't just walk and shout that I was Li Heng and not Li Yuan.

"Brother Erheng, are you planning to stay here tonight when you come here?" Xu Damao had already calmed down his nervousness and came over to ask.

"No, I haven't stayed here for the past two days. The bedding hasn't been made yet. I came here today to put away the quilt covers that I took out and washed yesterday."

"Hey, I just came back from get off work and saw that all the things you hung to dry were dry, so I helped you put them away in the house."

This guy is good, he has a clever mind. Li Heng raised his eyebrows.

"Thank you, Damao."

"You're welcome, Brother Erheng. My relationship with Brother Yuan has always been relatively good. You are Brother Yuan's eldest brother, and that means you are my eldest brother. Our family does not speak the same language."

He can talk, and people like what he says, but why did he become like that later?

"Okay, then I'll say thank you. Here, take this pack of cigarettes and smoke it." Li Heng pretended to take out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it to Xu Damao.

"Brother Erheng, there's no need."

"Take it, I don't smoke much either. Damao, what are you going to do?"

"I've just finished eating and have nothing to do, so I plan to go out for a walk." Xu Damao didn't refuse after hearing this, but opened the cigarette directly and handed one over.

The things had been put in, and Li Heng had no intention of going back to the yard. Seeing that he was fine, he took him and squatted on the side of the road, asking about the people and things in the yard.
