Chapter 57 This island was contracted by me 03
The flashlight was dangling in the room, and the two people who came in were rummaging through boxes and cabinets, checking to see if there was anyone in the room.
Li Yu lay on it stiffly, motionless, simulating in his mind how to deal if the two found him.
"Have you found it?" A voice came from below.
Another voice scolds, "Shut up, don't make a sound."
Li Yu frowned, the voice was a bit familiar, where should have heard it.
The person below said, "Hurry up, don't get hit by someone."
"What happened, I'm afraid of a fart." After that, the man continued to rummage through things.
The rustling sound continued, Li Yu's ears moved, and he heard that the other party was turning over his bed and drawers, wondering what the two were looking for, when the wardrobe suddenly shook.
Someone opened the closet door and shook the dust cloth that was stacked inside to the ground.
Just then, a familiar voice said, "I found it, let's go."
Li Yu didn't move, and continued to lie still. When the room was completely quiet, he moved down a little bit and walked out quickly.
In the corridor, the two of them had just walked to the elevator and were waiting with their backs facing the corridor.
Li Yu was lying on the wall, revealing a pair of eyes, staring at the taller man.
A face flashed in mind, and remembered that this person was the owner of the canteen.
At this moment, his wallet was in his butt pocket, and a knife was pinned to the other pocket.
Fortunately, didn't jump out to catch the current one just now.
Li Yu stepped back cautiously, closed the door and turned on the lights, the house was in a mess, and the two beasts took his remaining bag of instant noodles away.
Hold.
The door lock has no signs of being picked, so the shop owner either knows how to unlock the lock or has the key in his hand.
Li Yu took off the key from the shoe cabinet and held it in his hand. The key style was old, not a new-style security door key.
Standing there thinking for a moment, he went to knock on the door.
After knocking three times in a row to make sure no one was inside, Li Yu inserted the key into the keyhole and the door opened.
Li Yu, "..."
The key should have been assigned when the building was completed. It seems that no one has lived in this house before, or the door lock should have been changed earlier.
Just to be on the safe side, change the lock immediately.
1551 poured cold water on his head, "You forgot, your wallet was stolen."
Li Yu, "Is there any solution?"
"No." 1551 said.
Really not, let him steal it back? Impossible, it is easy to be beaten to death if caught, and the three-level prohibition does not say that you can't kill people outdoors.
Steal someone else's? As a socialist youth, he cannot do anything illegal.
After much deliberation, could only take out the work diary and make a hard note for the canteen boss.
It's only after nine o'clock in the evening, and after a fright, Li Yu can't fall asleep again, so it's better to hurry up and do something serious.
He stood at the window and looked out at the street. Some shops were closed, others were brightly lit.
One of the brightest lights is a bar.
Li Yu wants a house with cards at the end, and its owner is likely to work in a bar.
The bar is different from other bars in the memory of the original owner. Under the blue light of the deep space, no one is noisy, and there are no enchanting beauties dancing. It is quiet inside, and all the voices are covered in the melodious music.
There are three or five people at a table, drinking and chatting, and no one is sitting at the table.
This scene is so similar to what saw in the afternoon, it can be confirmed that the thoughts of gangs in the small town are very heavy.
Li Yu watched enough at the door, pushed the door and walked in.
There was no reception at the bar. There were only two waiters serving drinks with trays. When they saw the new guests, one of them stopped and said, "Please come to the bar to order."
There were only two people at the bar, a man and a woman.
The man with a beard and a decadent face served drinks to the guests.
The woman is very different from him. She has delicate makeup and a slender figure. She is leaning on the bar, chatting with a customer, and describing it as ambiguous.
Li Yu came to the bar and swept around. Although everyone may be the target, after experiencing the first two worlds, he concluded a rule.
Aside from the appearance and height, as an influential villain, at least his temperament is outstanding, and any look can scare people away.
This is not up to the standard, and it is useless to have face and legs.
"Yo, I haven't seen you before, are you the new one?" The woman came over at some point.
The people in the town are all those who come and go. She has not seen such a spirited young man for a long time. And judging from the clean appearance of the other party, he should have lived in the building and had a bath.
After half a day, the whole town probably knew about his existence. Li Yu did not deny it, looked at the woman and asked, "Are you the boss?"
The woman pulled back her hair, "Do you see that?"
Li Yu nodded, "I want to ask if you are hiring."
The woman reached out and pinched the young man's face, then shook his head regretfully, "No way, enough people."
Li Yu lowered his eyelids and said disappointedly, "Then do you know where there are still jobs?"
The woman stood up straight, folded her arms and narrowed her eyes slightly, "No money?"
"There were originally." Li Yu said, "A thief entered the house and was stolen."
The bartender put the wine glass on the waiter's tray, leaned over, and lip-mouthed Li Yu.
Li Yu was stunned, "How do you know."
The man sneered, "On my first day here, I was still lying on the beach, and while I couldn't get up from the injury, he ripped my body clean."
When it comes to the boss of the commissary, the man is full of anger.
Li Yu shook his head in his heart, not enough, there was something else in the target besides anger, just like... the man in the corner.
The woman followed the youth's gaze and poked him with her fingernail-painted fingers, "That's the degree."
"I have seen it." Li Yu said, "Uncle Li told me that he is the owner of this town."
The woman's indifferent face finally showed fluctuations, "Have you seen Uncle Li?"
"I've seen it." Li Yu, "I live next door to him, number 444."
"Tsk tsk tsk, then no one dares to live in the house, you are so courageous." The woman stretched out her hand with a look of pity, "You can call me Sister Lan in the future."
Li Yu looked at the slender and fair hand with bright red nails, and solemnly reached out to hold it.
"1551, is there any data fluctuation?"
"no."
Li Yu quickly accepted the result and called out to Sister Lan.
She said suddenly in a low voice, "I am not an aboriginal, just like you, neither are he nor Uncle Li."
Speaking of bartending beards.
Perhaps because she felt that she had found a similar kind, Sister Lan did not hide it, and introduced herself and the beard experience one by one.
Six years ago, when she was twenty-nine years old, she went fishing with her father and met a pirate.
Her father fought desperately with the pirates to protect her and died. Sister Lan was injured and ran for her life.
Their fishing boat is very large, and there are two life-saving inflatable boats on it. She sat in the inflatable boat and floated at sea for seven days and nights before landing.
When she first came, most people on the island didn't like her, except for a small number of lecherous men.
Sister Lan's entrepreneurial history was mixed with blood and tears. Li Yu didn't explore it. Seeing the other party's natural change of topic, he asked, "What about that eldest brother?"
"You mean the fifth one?" Sister Lan said, "Three years ago, his family died in a car accident, and he escaped the catastrophe. He jumped into the sea and committed suicide. He was rescued by Uncle Li."
Probably too long has passed, and the fifth child is not too sad to hear these past events.
He poured a sip of beer into his mouth, took the new order from the waiter, and continued to mix drinks.
Li Yu was thoughtful and asked the system in his mind, "How many people are there on the island?"
The system said, "With you, there are exactly five hundred people."
The foreign population is only four, he, Uncle Li, Sister Lan, and the fifth.
Sister Lan looked at the white and clean young man in front of her and sighed, "I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for you to come here."
"What do you mean?" Li Yu stared into the woman's eyes, intuitively knowing what she knew.
Sister Lan raised her hand and waved at a guest, smiled softly, and continued, "You didn't realize that they are very repelling us outsiders?"
When he found out, he was not only repulsive, but also quite vigilant. In such a short time, several people passed by and pretended to observe him unintentionally.
Li Yu asked, "Why?"
"Uncle Li has been here for 30 years, and I don't know why." Sister Lan sighed, dragging her voice, "Little brother, I see that you are an honest person, let me show you the way, the supermarket next door lacks a tally clerk, you go tomorrow morning ask."
People come and go in the supermarket every day, and can meet many people. Li Yu agreed.
After the fifth man was busy for a while, he brought two bottles of beer over. He bit the bottle cap with his teeth and handed it to the young man, "Please."
Li Yu wouldn't drink this, but just took a sip and stuck his tongue out.
The old fifth laughed, "How can a man not drink like this, drink more and get used to it."
Li Yu is most annoying when others say that he is not a man enough.
The fifth was satisfied and pushed his arm down, "Do you really live in 444?"
When I mentioned the residence before, Sister Lan's attitude was also a little surprised. Li Yu asked, "What's wrong with 444?"
"It doesn't matter." The old fifth said truthfully, "I checked it when I first came here. The building is not full, and many houses are still empty, let alone 444."
He looked around and kept his voice extremely low, "People here are very superstitious, and no one wants to live there, thinking the numbers are unlucky."
Li Yu was at a loss, "Superstition?"
The old fifth whispered, "There are a few people in the town who have been in a coma for many years, and haven't woken up yet."
"Veterinous?"
"Almost." The fifth man muttered, "I also heard Uncle Li say that before he came, those people were already in a coma, and no one knew the specific reason."
Li Yu understood, the people in the town probably thought it was ghosts, so they were very sensitive to this kind of thing.
Even the room 444 is not welcome, and no one wants to live there.
"Is there no doctor in the town, or send people out for treatment?"
"The doctors in the town can't do anything. As for sending it out..." The fifth is also puzzled. "They don't want to. No one can leave the town except the person in charge of purchasing."
Li Yu, "Who is in charge of purchasing?"
"Well, the four eyes over there."
Li Yu looked in the direction of the fifth finger, and a thin man was standing in front of him.
The man wore a two-eighth haircut and retro black-rimmed glasses. He slightly arched his body when he spoke, with a respectful attitude.
From the shape of his mouth, it can be inferred that this person speaks slowly, and he does not know whether it is natural or nervous.
Looking at it with great energy, he suddenly turned his head and looked over, just in line with Li Yu's line of sight.
The dark eyes seemed to contain two handfuls of ice slag, which made people cool from the scalp to the heels.
Fifth broke his head, "Mr. Cheng doesn't like others staring at him."
It's really not polite. Li Yu made some trouble at home, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and decided to wander around the area to see if there was a chance to get close.
The location of the level is the only way to go to the back kitchen.
Li Yu was cheeky and said that he was hungry, could he go back and find something to eat.
Sister Lan, "Let your fifth brother lead you there."
The fifth was just about to go out for a cigarette, pushed open the small wooden door, and made a gesture to Li Yu.
Li Yu Pidianpidian followed, walking, while making a small abacus.
Wrestling can't be used. If he delivers wine, he is not a waiter. He has no qualifications, so he can only try other methods.
He stepped forward quickly and asked, "Fifth brother, are you familiar with Mr. Cheng?"
"I'm not familiar with it." The old fifth was addicted to smoking, and couldn't wait to shake out a cigarette from the box and put it in his mouth to enjoy it.
He glanced at the young man with a funny look, "No one knows him well in the town. If he has to say it, he will only look at him. Every time he goes out to buy, he will report to Mr. Cheng."
Li Yu was thoughtful, and when he turned into the kitchen, he stepped down.
Through the dim light, he saw a man, the owner of the commissary.
Finding that no one was following, the fifth took two steps back and saw that the owner of the canteen was drinking with a friend, holding a wallet in his hand.
He asked the youth, "Yours?"
Li Yu nodded, his expression a bit fierce.
The fifth one grabbed his arm and dragged him in, warning, "That man is a gambler and alcoholic. He's not a good person, just bear with it."
People were under the eaves and had to bow their heads. Li Yutou was so aggrieved for the first time. Before leaving, he glared at the canteen boss again.
The bar's kitchen is not big, it is only used to make fried rice and noodles, and serve as a late-night snack for drinkers.
The chef in charge was a fat aunt in her fifties. Seeing the old fifth bringing an outsider in, he asked with a stern face, "Whoever you are, you can bring it to the back of the kitchen."
"The newcomer here today is hungry. I'll take him to find something to eat." The fifth man smiled and turned his head to ask Li Yu what he wanted to eat.
Li Yu rolled up his sleeves, "I'll do it myself."
The original owner was not born a rich second generation. Before the age of twelve, his parents had not made a fortune. In order to make the business bigger and stronger, the two spent all day socializing outside, leaving their children at home alone.
At the age of six, he went to primary school, and the original owner began to learn to go home alone. He was a little taller at the age of nine and could already cook leftovers by himself. When he was in junior high school, some simple meals were not a problem.
Later, when the family was rich and there were more babysitters, he would occasionally cook by himself.
Li Yu recalled a recipe in his mind and planned to fry himself some rice.
This place is close to the sea, and fish and shrimp are not to worry about. After asking, he took a few prawns, a cucumber, a handful of clams that had spit out sand, oh, and a few squid whiskers, and planned to have seafood fried rice.
The fifth was biting the butt of the cigarette, watching the young man's quick movements through the smoke, "I don't see it, you can still cook."
Li Yu smiled, carefully picked out the shrimp line, and threw it into the bowl.
Ten minutes later, when all the side dishes are ready, pour the oil into the pot, and pour the beaten eggs after they are cooked.
Li Yu likes to eat slightly burnt eggs, which are more fragrant. He chops the eggs with a spatula and pours them into the side dishes and rice in turn.
The strong fragrance was stimulated by the hot iron pot, and the smell made people drool.
Li Yu put a big bowl for himself, put the rest into a small bowl, and handed it to the fifth one, "Brother Fifth, yours."
The fifth stayed for a while, put out the cigarette butt, and said with a grin, "Thank you little brother."
The gangs and factions in the small town are not only reflected in groups of several people, but also in the fact that locals are locals and foreigners are foreigners.
He has to have a good relationship with Sister Lan, the fifth, and Uncle Li.
In case of an accident in the future, a few of them outsiders can still hug together to keep warm.
Gathering his scattered thoughts, Li Yu scooped up a large spoon and stuffed it into his mouth. The rice was loose and mixed with seafood flavor, making people want to eat it.
Considering that there is no food to eat tomorrow morning, he put down the spoon halfway through the meal.
Li Yu blinked at the fifth elder, "Brother Fifth, can I take the rest home with me?"
"Okay." The fifth man said that he finished the meal, "I'll go find a lunch box."
He stood up and threw the tableware and chopsticks into the sink. When he saw that the place where the lunch box had been placed in the cabinet was empty, he suddenly remembered something and closed the cabinet again.
He rubbed his hands together and said embarrassedly, "I forgot, the use of disposable lunch boxes has been banned on the island."
Li Yu was dumbfounded, "Environmental protection?"
"Maybe it is." The fifth man answered thoughtfully, "Not only are disposable lunch boxes banned, but even cars must use natural gas, not gasoline and diesel. By the way, littering is not allowed on the street, no matter what you throw it away. Where it is, Mr. Cheng will know."
Li Yu looked incredulous, "Is there surveillance on the island?"
1551 clearly said no.
"That's not true." The old fifth scratched the back of his head, "Mr. Cheng is very powerful. I don't know what method he used. In short, nothing on the island can be hidden from his eyes."
It sounds terrible, except for the camera, what else can make you know the whole town so well.
Li Yu pursed his lips, couldn't figure it out at the time, and asked something else, "Does he really know how to beat people?"
Fifth, "You tomorrow morning..."
He got stuck, looked over the shoulder of the young man, and stared straight at the kitchen door.
Li Yu turned his head to look over, and was standing there like a door god, even with people's aura, blocking the door firmly.
He sneered, "Tell me?"
The old fifth walked over, not daring to get too close, "Just chat casually, don't be angry."
The corners of his lips were pressed down, and he walked straight to the young man, his extremely penetrating gaze, which made people feel inexplicably shivering and chilling.
Li Yu hugged the rest of his meal, subconsciously retreated, was grabbed by the other party, and dragged back.
The old fifth was taken aback and stepped over to smooth things out, "Mr. Cheng, this little brother is just here for the first time. He wants to know more about the island. We definitely didn't speak ill of you, so please don't..."
"Don't what?" The degree depends on him.
The fifth did not dare to speak, the landlord's eyes were murderous.
Li Yu was still a little confused, if it wasn't for the old fifth next to him chatting all the time, he would have thought he had hallucinations.
He shouted, "Mr. Cheng."
He glanced at him and looked at the big bowl in his hand.
I can't believe it, before I got together, this person actually delivered it to the door by himself.
Li Yu followed the man's line of sight, looked at the leftover rice in his hand, and raised it, "Do you want to eat? I haven't touched the other half."
Lao Wu's chin almost fell into the pot, and he poked the young man's back from behind.
Li Yu reacted and took the bowl back again.
The man's eyes came and went along the seafood fried rice, and his Adam's apple moved.
Li Yu, "..."
It was an illusion, he seemed to hear the man's swallowing grunt.
